Brittany Kaiser, Cambridge Analytica employee turned "whistleblower" is now *actually* blowing whistle!
👏👏👏 A bonafide data dump. Fascinating stuff here. Inner workings of firm. First 3 files: Brazil, Kenya, Malaysia journalists esp take note
This is from the team releasing it. Fascinating etails of SCL/Cambridge Analytica operations in Brazil, Malaysia & Kenya but also insight into worldwide ops. This was electoral manipulation at global scale...most of which we are still completely in the dark about
Oh. Look what I found. That non-existent project that *never* happened...Leave.EU. Here it is not happening on March 1, 2016, just 3 months before referendum. Date begun: Dec 15. Current status: "Active".
Slovakia - that 'central European country we ghosted into and ghosted out of,' I believe
Ukraine - Sam Patten, CA contractor & business partner to alleged spy, Konstantin Kilimnik, had long history with Manafort there but CA's previous work shrouded in mystery still
Have any Kenyan/Malaysian/Brazilian journalists looked at this yet? @kenyanpundit @whiteafrican @sarawak_report??

Thank you so much to everyone who’s contributed to my legal fees. I’m unbelievably lucky to have this support. And I worry deeply about other journalists - especially freelancers - who do not have this option. We desperately need to reform these laws

My case is the tip of the iceberg. So-called SLAPP lawsuits are being increasingly used by the oligarch class to silence journalists. The murder of the amazing Daphne Caruana Galizia exposed the problem. But it’s getting worse..

Reporters Without Borders & Index on Censorship & Pen International are supporting me because they see this case as part of a worrying trend: an alarming increase in SLAPP cases which are a threat to all journalists

Right. I have some GOOD NEWS! That legal case that Arron Banks is bringing against me? The one described as a "chilling" threat to journalism by press freedom organisations? He's dropped TWO of the cases against me. Hallebloodylujah. 🎉🎉🎉
Banks has dropped claim against 1 talk & tweet. BUT he's carrying on with TED talk & tweet 2. Sigh. I'm SO VERY grateful to everyone who gave to crowdfunder. But I've ringfenced that in case of costs. And am launching this to help pay current legal fees

crowdjustice.com/case/support-m…
Banks is a bully. He operates via intimidation & threats. This legal action is just more of the same. I've had 3 years of it. I do not have the financial backing of any media organisation so I'm extraordinarily grateful for the support I've found on here

So here it is. Zuck has taken his orders from Trump. Facebook is refusing to ban lies in political ads. It's refusing to ban microtargeting of political ads. Zuckerberg has sanctioned the delivery of toxic lies to voters in darkness...for profit.

Experienced Facebook watchers - @jason_kint @Moonalice @riptari @brooklynmarie - were all HIGHLY suspicious of story 2 days ago about this exec's 'secret' memo 'accidentally' leaked to @nytimes. They suspected it was prepping ground for big story...et voila! Image
@jason_kint @Moonalice @riptari @brooklynmarie @nytimes No-one's throwing shade on the @nytimes reporters on this story...but I wonder what they think now? Because this article laundered a number of FB key lies, spin & talking points into mainstream press 2 days ahead of this announcement...

There is a lot of misinformation out there about what makes someone a #whistleblower - specifically in the intelligence community (not sure why, just kidding yes I do). I'm hoping to clear some of that up. A thread:
Importantly, the word whistleblower has two meanings and it's good to be clear about which one you're using. One is a legal definition, rooted in the various statutes Congress has passed, and the other is a broader definition. In this thread, I'm using the legal definition.
A whistleblower 1. makes a disclosure to specific individuals and 2. has a reasonable belief that the disclosure shows a violation of law, rule, or regulation OR mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, or substantial and specific danger to public health or safety

on this day five years ago I moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have lived here now longer than anywhere else since I left for college at 18, and now @CambMA really feels like my home. I love this city so much.
@CambMA so, in tribute, I am going to spend today tweeting out some of my favorite things about & places in #Cambridge. this feels especially important to do as so much has changed since I moved here in 2014.
@CambMA it is painful to see so many out-of-state big money corporate developers coming into Cambridge & Boston and tearing down historic buildings, kicking out small, local businesses, and putting up the same fugly Lego-looking condos.

Brittany Kaiser is the SECOND known Cambridge Analytica employee to be subpoenaed by Mueller. Sam Patten [business partner to Russian GRU operative & Manafort assoc, Kilimnik] has already entered into a plea deal with Mueller. Kaiser is the first figure linked directly to Brexit.
Former Cambridge Analytica employees Sam Patten [business partner to Russian GRU operative Kilimnik] and Brittany Kaiser – both subpoenaed by Mueller – were involved in the controversial Jan 2015 Nigerian election, which had “unsettling” parallels to the US presidential election.
During the 2015 Nigerian campaign, Cambridge Analytica worked alongside unidentified Israeli intelligence operatives who hacked the now-president of Nigeria’s emails and released damaging info about him to the press weeks before the election.
