One way to gerrymander a referendum: vast overspends on dark ads on social media combined with stolen targeting data, combined an illicit common plan with two Leave campaigns, boosted by US hedge fund billionaires and Russian troll farms,

That might work.

It's all in evidence
*combined in an
Just to be clear. Gerrymandering means fixing the 'boundaries' of an electorate to game a result. We know that the boundaries of dark money and data were completely broken in #Brexit

So Papadopolous was in contact with a key figure in UKIP AFTER his arrest. But the London/Mueller connections don’t end there. Guess what? His wife-to-be @simonamangiante was friendly with UKIP figures the year before Papadopolous elevated to the Trump campaign. Photo coming up
According to her own testimony to the Guardian, Mangiante met Joseph Mifsud in 2012, and then worked for him in 2016 when she first encountered Papadolpous. By that time she was already friends with Wiffen.

I have no idea what this means, if anything beyond more tangential UKIP/Russian connections. But some others might get the significance @ScottMStedman @carolecadwalla

What is the beef with Soros? (Except his Jewish Hungarian background - Hungary was one of the last most desperate Nazi parts of the holocaust. Until 1944 most Hungarian Jews were safe). 2 tweets to follow.
George Soros made billions from the UK’s failed attempt to stay within the ERM, but before Black Wednesday evening happened he has formed the Open Society foundation to support charities and orgs in post communist Europe in creating a diverse civil society
It’s not about elites. Or money. Neither Banks, Farage or Wigmore will ever mention their extreme indebtedness to the hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer who funded both Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica.

It can only be about racism and antisemitism

Winter is coming. In more ways than one. This winter will be, politically and economically, one of the toughest in decades. It will be grim. But unlike some, I’m not heading for a survival shelter. Here’s why... theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/o…
2. Britain is in an astonishingly dark place. The rule of law seems to have broken down. While major industries and services plan to relocate because of Brexit, our governing party is engaged in endless manoeuvres around the measly careers of a few would be ministers.
3. I’m afraid the Labour Party isn’t much better. It seems to ignore both the economic perils of Brexit and major new threats of our times: dark money buying elections and online racist psy ops. Collusion between US disaster capitalists and offshore oligarchs to subvert the law

Cambridge Analytica’s Real Role in Trump’s Dark Facebook Campaign thedailybeast.com/cambridge-anal… via @thedailybeast
Now new data has opened a small window into Trump’s social media machinery, and in particular the role played by the now-defunct Cambridge Analytica.
Public statements and insider accounts have painted a muddled and contradictory picture on whether Trump’s Fb campaign targeted voters using Cambridge’s vast store of dubiously acquired data, once described by the company as containing 400 data points on 230 million Americans.

Over the past few months I have collected 500+ Trump, Pence and RNC tracking URLs dating back to June 2016. I've shared bits & pieces of this (⏬) as I've been looking under the hood, in search of the truth behind Project Alamo/Trump marketing ops.

THREAD will be ongoing...
The 500+ links are tracking links. They contain custom variables team Trump/Pence/RNC attached to links so they could measure & analyze performance via Google Analytics.

These are UTM parameters: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_param…

I'll share full URL list once I'm done cleaning it up!
You can learn a lot about a marketing program by examining their tracking links. So here's the 1st nugget:

#1: Trump campaign used Facebook Messenger bots to communicate w/voters 1-on-1.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere. If you have, pls send a link!

Let me preface this by saying that in my work, I've run my fair share of ads on social media. (THREAD)
Granted, it was to convince people to play Rach 2 in once-in-a-lifetime master classes, or learn to conduct La Cenerentola, but the tools were still what's available to everyone else. Unless, of course, you engage in illegal and unethical behavior.
It's important that we understand what this all means, and that it's not just techie stuff for someone else to figure out.

Before you let anyone poo-poo the Cambridge Analytica story (which I saw from a NEW YORK TIMES journo yesterday), here are some key things to remember:

It has been said that tensions have never been higher in society. This claim is made more and more. An understandable perception if you consume a lot of cable news and social media. This perception that is actually completely false. A thread 🤔
The saturation of cable news networks driving agendas and sensationalism help create a perception of deep division.
Add in social media echo chambers and the illusion is firmly reinforced.
Note: on social media it’s not always YOUR voice echoed. That is important to understand.
Tensions are rather high and many are emboldened to childishly act out. There are large enough percentages of the population actually protesting against the natural rights our nation was founded upon and the few funding, organizing, and steering drones or "useful idiots".
