ex-Cambridge Analytica gurus were paid $545,000 to back Bob Stefanowski for CT governor - Realtors for Connecticut PAC paid $545K last month to Cloud Commerce, part-owned by Brad Parscale & parent of Data Propria run by ex-CA execs, by @DanHaarColumns ctpost.com/business/danha…
Cloud Commerce, which is partly owned by Brad Parscale and which owns Data Propria run by Cambridge Analytica execs - was previously run by a penny stock felon
$90,000 was paid to Cloud Commerce for “modeling/segmentation” — terms closely associated with psychographic profiling as targeted people are divided into buckets - techniques previously used by Cambridge Analytica
ctpost.com/business/danha…
In February, a previously registered PAC affiliated with the association paid an additional $128,000 to Data Propria for polling, not connected with Stefanowski’s election. That was around the time the firm was forming.

The Stefanowski for gov campaign from October, 2017 through Friday, Oct. 26 has spent at least $236,000 with Harris Media LLC run by Vincent Harris - which reportedly worked briefly w/Brad Parscale on Trump campaign (and other GOP and far-right campaigns)
ctpost.com/business/danha…
A Privacy International investigation in Dec 2017 accused Harris Media of influencing the Kenyan presidential election in favor of the incumbent, Uhuru Kenyatta, by creating online video content discrediting his challenger, opposition leader Raila Odinga

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

THREAD (update):

Are BRAD PARSCALE and DATA PROPRIA trying to "rig" the 2018 midtems by using absentee ballots for SICK and DYING voters across the country? /1
This thread is an update to a previous one of mine in which I discovered that Parscale is running a cloud for a mysterious organization called "Clarus Healthcare," and that Parscale's cloud for Clarus was pipelining data to Data Propria. /2
Clarus Healthcare is a trademark of a company called "Clarus Health Services, LLC," which was incorporated on 7/14/16.

The "Clarus Healthcare" trademark was filed on 8/23/16. /3

#Connecticut will be deciding who they are going to put in the Governor's Office in a few weeks!

Let's look at what @NedLamont has to say.

1) Reducing Property Taxes for the Middle Class:

...feel squeezed. Our state has become one of the most expensive places to raise a family or start a business. And in the face of stagnant wages and weak job growth, Hartford politicians have hit middle class families with tax increase after tax increase. Even worse... (cont)

...there’s barely anything to show for it: after three decades of mismanagement by governors of both parties, our budget hole remains deep and Connecticut’s working families are being asked to pick up more of the tab. It’s unfair, it’s unproductive, and it needs... (cont)

Last July, I used Moneysupermarket for a car insurance quote. In January I found out they'd passed that personal info to Arron Banks's company. This week, parliament was told he used insurance data to campaign for Brexit. Creepy? Much?
theguardian.com/technology/201…
I'm not a customer of Eldon insurance. I've never used it. Yet this is some of the info Arron Banks has on me - via a price comparison website, Moneysupermarket. What does he have on you? Did he - & @nigel_farage - use it in Brexit?
You know how I found out @Arron_banks had my data? From my car. Here it is. And YES, that is moss.
