Mercenary provocateur for hire Steve Bannon was testing inflammatory memes as early as 2014. The Breitbart, fake news, troll factory, Facebook, Jingoist divisive targeting tactics are popular in third world countries and also used by terrorist groups.
The 2013 paper that inspired the current targeting. Facebook users who took the "myPersonality" quiz were unwittingly handing over the data of 360 of their "friends". Stillwell refused to work for SCL so they copied his work and created Cambridge Analytica apa.org/pubs/journals/…
Friendly and Conventional: "predominantly White residents with comparatively low levels of education, wealth, economic innovation, and social tolerance. Residents of this region also tend to be politically conservative, religious, and civically engaged in their communities."
Blue becomes Red: "What brought the Democrats' wall down? Much of the post-election commentary blames the white working class. Economic anxiety was key,...Trump lassoed their fear of falling economically to regressive views on race, gender and immigrants" thehill.com/blogs/pundits-…
Steve Bannon initially backed Sarah Palin, creating a similar propaganda film. He made The Undefeated, released in July 2011. “I’m a student of Michael Moore’s films, of Eisenstein, Riefenstahl.” Bannon boasted. He went on to run Breitbart in March 2012 politico.com/magazine/story…
While in London working to weaponize "Leave" aka Brexit, Bannon tested the detonation levels of migration, globalism, anxiety and fear. He confirmed they had very low ignition points amongst "the Left Behind". 90% of eligible individuals over 65 voted. politico.com/magazine/story…
The CA/FB data allowed micro targeting. Facebook users were more likely to share contentious content or negative advertising. Facebook’s algorithms prioritize more engaging aka "outrageous" content. Trump raised almost $250M on a $70M spend on Facebook. wired.com/story/facebook…
Trump outgunned Clinton. 5.9 M Facebook ads vs 66,000. He went tight, she went wide. 84% Trump's Facebook ads had a call to action vs only 56% for Clinton. Trump got $2 - $5B in free plugs from the media by constantly insulting them. Conflict works. thenextweb.com/facebook/2018/…
Did Cambridge Analytica's "stolen" Facebook data win the election? No. But the Mercer's original $10-15M investment to create Cambridge Analytica in 2013 generated at least that much in income before SCL went bankrupt May 3, 2018. But wait...there's more. cnn.com/2018/03/20/pol…
Jan 2017: SCL high on the Trump win raises $19M from investors but by May SCL is tits up but not before Alexander Nix nicks $8M.
Aug 2018 "Emerdata" appears with Erik Prince's partner Johnson Ko and the Mercer kids. Busted in the media, it vanishes. irishtimes.com/business/techn…
By 2018 SCL/CA has assets < $500K and liabilities of $8.8M.
2016 Cambridge Analytica had $25.3M in revenue
2017 only $5.2M in revenue and a loss of $13.5M
Oddly Cambridge Analytica Holdings (created 6 months after CA) is not bankrupt.

Until June 10, 2015 SCL's main investor was Vincent Tchenquiz, the same man who incubated Black Cube in his London office. He used Wheddon to hold and sell 22,533 shares for $194,5K. Two years AFTER Mercer created Cambridge Analytica in the US.timesofisrael.com/cambridge-anal…
The same Vincent Tchenquiz who during the last election in 2012 discussed investments with Netanyahu's political election maestro Ari Harow, Erik Prince, Dorian Barak as Indigo Global/Strategic along with Avi Yanus and Dan Zorella of Black Cube folks haaretz.com/israel-news/re…
The same Erik Prince that began chatting with Black Cube, dragged another Israeli psyoper, Joel Zamel to meet the Trump folks on August 3, 2017 has now bookended himself at the front, the end and the middle as his business partner tried to float Emerdata jpost.com/Israel-News/Is…
Now back to the beginning. At 1:04:50 Chinese lackey Erik Prince, the Libertarian who somehow had no shame making over a billion dollars a year from U.S. taxpayer money for security.. and wants $3.5 Billion more... is happy to plug "Trump's War"

A overview on the use of mercenaries by Russia in their hybrid warfare program. Most researchers fail to track the money trail, do not understand the actual role of "mentors" in training local forces and forget that the "merc" aspect is just one part.. offiziere.ch/?p=34979
Russian investigators understand the impact of Putin providing a broad spectrum of political, financial, technical, legal, logistic, military and strategic services on an illegal or proxy basis. Putin tends to shoot those people or they fall off balconies. khodorkovsky.com/murder-journal…
Putin's funding of Prigozhin by allowing rigged bids to Russian military bases and then having Prigozhin use the excess to fund these small units to advance Russian interests is an excellent study model for Iran Contra style Erik Prince Afghan Plans or KSA/UAE hired Muslim mercs.

@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Correct. But the attempt to mislead the FBI into reopening the Clinton investigation in a "November Surprise" is the heart of the election deceit. That's where the criminals are.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Granite Intelligence is who Weiner handed his laptop and devices to after he was tipped off. Three days later Weiner's devices were subpoenaed. In late Oct, Rudy, Lara Trump and others began to snicker about a October Surprise. Then Prince spiked it in November 4th on Breitbart.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 "It took three weeks for the New York office to tell Comey what they had found. Comey did not learn of the laptop until 5:30 on morning of October 27, less than two weeks before the election."

Russia and Iran are engaged in disinformation campaigns aimed at US citizens. Twitter just released over 10 million tweets from over 4500 Russian and Iranian accounts engaged in influence operations dating back to 2009. We've analyzed the data. Here's what you need to know...
Russia's influence operations are far-reaching, aimed at a number of countries. This, of course, includes ops aimed at US voters in 2016, but also includes their own people. 58 Russian-language accounts tweeted regional "news" related to Crimea, Syria, and other military action.
44 US-directed local "news" accounts amassed over half a million followers. By using local-sounding news source names, they were able to dupe Americans from *other* regions to share what they thought was authentic news.

Short thread about this Steve #Bannon interview about his efforts to support rightwing populists in Europe that is exciting a lot of people here. @guyverhofstadt even came up with #BanBannon hashtag thedailybeast.com/mueller-finall…
Bannon wants to unite Europe's rightwing populists/far-Right & nationalist groups into coherent political force. He's setting up a foundation, which he compares to @georgesoros network, to help them with funding. But he'll only have up to 10 employees & no serious cash.
Europe's rightwing populists have tried to unite before, notably in the @Europarl_EN, but not with great success, bc their policies pose a structural problem for a pan-European movement. Often their debates descended into insult-laden quarrels.

Steve Bannon was a political genius who knew how to @Breitbart the public. What is "#Breitbarting?" Creating a culture to win influence. The Hollywood approach (aka Milo). Bannon's "falling out" with Trump made zero sense. It was staged. Why? Simple. He needed to launch #Qanon.
2/ My problem with this theory... #Bannon's entire career was propped up by unapologetic pro-zionists. So when Q responded to an Anon's post on April 3rd it threw this theory right out the window... This is NOT the reporting of a zionist. #Qanon
3/ Q could have used ANY excuse to bring up the #Pope and/or Rome. This cartoon was a red herring. If you follow the crumbs, Q changes the subject back to Epstein Island and stays there. So I'm left with hack or herring? Or did Bannon really win for @POTUS then step out. #Qanon

So this is interesting & let me tell you why.

@savethe8thinfo is apparently run (in part) out of Hungary.

Do you know who else is based in Hungary & heavily involved in the Anti Choice movement in both countries?

Jim Dowson. The money man behind Britain First.

Thread.
Some background on Dowson 1st. He was kicked out of the Orange Order in the 90s for being too extreme and was both heavily involved in both the BNP, and the loyalist flag riots in Belfast in 2010/11. He has several criminal convictions,
Aside from the aforementioned protest at the Mary Stopes Clinic in Belfast, were he was working with Youth Defence (who are behind the savethe8thinfo facebook page, Dowson has ties to Belfast Anti Choice activist Bernadette Smyth running the Scottish Chapter of "Precious Life"

#Facebook thread:
Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

Steve Bannon and the Mercers "invested millions" into a company that "specialized in military intelligence and psychological warfare." Bannon became a Vice President.
"In June 2016, the Trump campaign was flailing... the Mercers... offered Trump a huge cash injection, but they insisted he hire Steve Bannon and their company #CambridgeAnalytica"
.@Channel4News reveals how Trump, Bannon and the Mercers conspired to abuse the post-#CitizensUnited "dark money" electoral system: "Positive messages went through the candidate's official campaign, but the nasty stuff was pushed through outside organizations"
