In the Jurassic Age of Trump there was a wealthy gun toting split trader with a crushing IRS bill who funded Farage, Brietbart, SCL, Cambridge Analytica along with a passle of right wing ventures to avoid paying the dough. Didn't work. thedailybeast.com/mercers-throw-…
There are plenty of rumors about how Mercer makes money but "The problem that Renaissance Technologies faced trying to predict market behaviour is, he said, essentially the same problem that Cambridge Analytica faces in voter analysis and persuasion." wsj.com/articles/james…
It appears that Bannon was the most convenient if not imperfect vessel, to devise dirty tricks against candidate Clinton and that money came from offshore sources. Bannon now works for another "offshore source." Miles Kwok. Same game, different owner. theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/…
Back to Mercer. Some people believed that Mercer's high returns were essentially mirror trades or basket trades designed to launder Russian money. The FBI began investigating. Cambridge Analytica suddenly morphed into Emerdata. medium.com/@q502/robert-m…
The FBI had previously investigated RenTec between March 2009 and January 2011, and then closed the investigation into RenCap for "cherry picking." The case was closed. But is there another investigation out there? altgov2.org/fbi-rentec/
A lot of amateur journos and conspiracy nuts have put together a lot of charts showing the linkages between Russians, Ukrainians and Trump's sudden rise to political power. They are not wrong but what was the engine that fueled that rise? dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
The engine was data. And the same people who flip elections in developing nations (SCL) by harnessing fear against migrants, dirty tricks, smear campaigns and sowing internal division. It worked in the UK. Let's see if it will work in the US. It did. theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
When the feds finally figured out the 2016 election scam, the Mercers simply ran out the clock. The Defuckerists were too slow. America ate political shit. cnbc.com/2021/11/12/mon…
Were the Mercers chastened? Did we ever find those Hillary emails? No. So did they throttle back in 2020? No. Perhaps moneywise. But not fuckery wise. Was this where they made a difference? Nope cnbc.com/2021/09/15/rob…
Sedition and confusion gets more bang for thebuck. "strategic investments in far-right candidates bought them a disproportionate level of influence in the GOP before culminating in an effort to subvert the election that fueled the deadly Capitol siege." salon.com/2021/02/04/how…
So I ask again. Is there an FBI investigation into the top level of ForeignFundedFuckery by ass burnt self interested rich folk who give oxygen and cash to elements who promote falsehoods, fear, violence and sedition? Might be. #HatefulEight
The media used to be hot to trot on the Mercer's game because Bannon defined it for them. Now other than a couple of outlets like CNBC and the Intercept they have gone limp dick on the sedition backers. Hey media, cover the circus owner, not the clowns. washingtonpost.com/graphics/polit…
