RECALL: BANKS: "In 12/18, So African intel officials confirmed to me that Banks, who owns diamond mines, had been the subject of two investigations by the Hawks....”
"This detailed @NewYorker investigation into Arron Banks, his Russian connections, and his opaque funding of the Leave.EU campaign makes an unanswerable case for a Mueller-style inquiry into whether the EU referendum was stolen."
@NewYorker "In 2013, Southern Rock, an insurance underwriter based in Gibraltar, was found by the local regulator to be operating w/insufficient cap reserves. Since then, Banks and other shareholders have been compelled to refi Southern Rock w/many tens of millions"
"A $$$ laundering expert, quoted:
“red flags do pop out all over the place.” The arrangement to refi Southern Rock forms part of a pattern...that seems to make little finc'l sense...."

"[Banks] SUPPORTED PUTIN'S 2014 military intervention in #Crimea, saying that the invaded region was “as Russian as the Isle of Wight is British...”
Banks supported Putin's annexation of #Crimea (BTW #CrimeaIsUkraine)
Also, there are allegations that Banks has ties to Russia via shared mining interests - gold, diamonds - had multiple meetings w/Russian Amb UK, about them:

"Nigel #Farage was lavishly funded by Arron Banks in the year after the Brexit referendum, Channel 4 News has alleged, with the insurance tycoon providing him with a furnished Chelsea home, a car and driver, and money to promote him in AMERICA."

"Banks, who regularly bankrolled Farage’s former party, Ukip, spent about £450,000 in the year after the referendum, when Farage had quit as Ukip leader, the programme said.
It said the money, some provided via Rock Services Ltd, a company owned by Banks, "

"After quitting as Ukip leader he remained as an MEP, and also made regular appearances on Fox News and other TV shows...Banks is under investigation by the National Crime Agency over allegations of criminal offences by him and his unofficial leave campaign in the EU referendum."
"According to @Channel4News , the documents show that Banks and his companies, organised and funded visits to the US by Farage in the year after the referendum, including a trip in July 2016 to the Republican national convention."

@Channel4News Arron Banks and Gerry Gunster - they go back to 2015:
"In 9/15, Banks hired the AMERICAN pollster Gerry Gunster as a consultant. Banks has frequently cited some advice that Gunster gave him: referendums are won on emotion, not on facts."

@Channel4News Recall, that Banks discussed with Bannon and others on an email chain using Gunster and Cambridge Analytica - and it kinda sounds like they are talking about using people's insurance data to #psyop them, lol:
@Channel4News And Recall, Brittany Kaiser, formerly of Cambridge Analytica says they did (stole her plan to do it):
@Channel4News So they, #Brexit, illegally used the U.S. firm Gunster Strategies. And Trump used foreign #CambridgeAnalytica employees - Lewandowski tried to conceal it:

Hope you all have reported on Banks' cozy ties to governor of MS, Phil Bryant.
The Gov secured funding for Banks to start a data op at a state-funded university. Swears no data was washed there. Believe him?
