Cambridge Analytica, a data-modelling firm that employs “psychographic profiling” has helped boost Leave.EU’s social media campaign. “In three months we’ve signed up nearly a third of a million people and [they] continue to sign up in huge numbers,” says Mr Banks.
And a thread now explaining the origins of the Facebook connections, Russian cash, SCL/Cambridge Analytica and the origins of personality profiling targeting for election purposes
Now can we link it up and channel it back to the Trump White House in just a few steps (YES) and we have Mr Firtash that close to Trump he can breathe on his neck
@Hardeep_Matharu@peterjukes@BylineTimes End of 2011-12 Guido selling ads to the Kremlin Harry Cole, Guido et al are in Moscow as Navalny uses Facebook to protest against the Putin regime (just after Arab Spring had used it).
ANYONE wanting to know how the US Presidential election was rigged in 2016 watch this brilliant report. Add in Cambridge Analytica/psychometric targeting, Russia elsewhere amplifying and funding the hate messaging on social media - you have your answer - Brexit was a rehearsal
Listen to the Project Alamo report note nuances
AIQ (Canada 100,000s ads)
Cam Analytica "division" at arms length from Electoral Commission
Cummings threw millions at AIQ last few days of campaign
Facebook was the vehicle (7m Brits (the Persuadables)
Question I have heard no one ask - who invited teams from Google, Facebook - supposedly impartial internet platforms in to Project Alamo HQ - and why did they agree to do it (was the other side offered the same?)
@threadreaderapp@stonesister7@NarcAware I forgot the bleeding obvious - we have a Russian friendly money managing expert who handles the oligarchs cash walking among us - Alastair Tulloch - he handled Yuri Milner cash and popped it into Facebook
@threadreaderapp@stonesister7@NarcAware December 2014 Cambridge Uni - a top professor screams out loud that Dr Spectre is harvesting Facebook data and it could be used for evil as well as good - this professors also lectures 'in St Petersburg' yards away from the Internet Research Agency
@stonesister7@NarcAware In 2011 Facebook still had not crossed to dark side and it was in play during Arab Spring as the 'force for good' organising the uprisings by proxy (this is why it was hit) - NewsCorp gets badly burned on MySpace due to Facebook - so it leads the change
@stonesister7@NarcAware May 2016 MySpace hacked to death - pre 2013 records (things like voter databases etc) clearly a Moscow job (is it plausible that password access could be handed over by former owners? :-) )
@stonesister7@NarcAware Paul Staines - Jag Singh - Harry Cole all went to Moscow to sell advertising to the Russian government in the same period - exhibit A
@carolecadwalla@Turloughc@WendySiegelman Full story of Zander Group and its investors + Tory Party Lords and MPs involvement, due diligence done by Jones Lang LaSalle - they were working directly for Mayor of London 2013-2017 (not MOD) though they were appointed July 30 2013 - specifically for 'this job'
@carolecadwalla@Turloughc@WendySiegelman Jones Lang LaSalle worked tirelessly for Mayor of London's office 2007-2016- through sale of Brompton & were appointed by MOD to manage the sale and all due diligence in July 30 2013 - they had not won a bid to be the MOD suppliers in 2012 - yet got the job in 2013 - a little odd
@peterjukes@EmmaLBriant@BylineTimes A lot of things going on at exactly the same time (Trump Miss Universe in Moscow) - Firtash - Young Britons Foundation - Cambridge Analytica set up - Facebook harvesting - Firtash indictment (sealed, unsealed, sealed then activated), Ukrainian Maidan Revolution
@peterjukes@EmmaLBriant@BylineTimes It was only a few months after Mark Zuckerberg hosted Moscow Hack the World Event in 2012 at which Russian hackers got prizes for their tool which could hack Facebook accounts and profile friends, connections and personalities in a single app
