My name is @ZevShalev, I am a journalist and TV executive producer. In Dec, 2016 I began blogging about the ties between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. I soon realized these men were working with co-conspirators using money, influence and data to...
take over the world. Journalists like @LouiseMensch and @TeaPainUSA had surfaced news about an Alfa Bank server at Trump Tower. I knew from covering the campaign of @BarackObama, data played a big role in his win. In April, 2018, the light bulb turn on. narativ.org/2017/04/08/dia…
In May, 2016, I wrote about the main characters involved in Trump's win and how the operation went down. I revealed an alliance of characters named Mercer, Devos, Thiel, Prince, Putin, Kislyak, Flynn, Bannon and Kushner. narativ.org/2017/05/26/997…
That same month, I wrote about cyber criminal Pyotr Levashov. His arrest was the first hint of criminality involving the hack of the DNC server, Trump and Russia. The Russians had been hacking our democracy. narativ.org/2017/05/28/the…
Two days later, we wrote about how the Kremlin had accessed the US voters' rolls in at least 3 states. Why did they need voter data How did it fit in to the DNC hack and that server? narativ.org/2017/05/30/the…
By Sep, I was writing with my colleague @traciemac_Bmore. We figured out what this cabal of Russians, Mercers an Bannon had pulled off ... using @CamAnalytica and stolen data from @facebook, voters' rolls and @SpectrumHealth This was a pivotal story. narativ.org/2017/09/05/psy…
Soon after, we added a crucial piece, able to connect Russia's @Facebook involvement to Trump's campaign launch in June 2015. We spotlighted Brad @parscale as a person of interest and named @camanalytica, the IRA as collaborators. @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2017/09/12/fac…
To our surprise, we also learned that @facebook had deep money ties to the Kremlin and Russia's biggest mobsters. @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2017/09/14/fac…
I executive produce #CBCTheWeekly with @cbcwendymesley. We broke a story about a Canadian company with ties to #Brexit, Mercer, Bannon and @CamAnalytica. The story of a Facebook app @AggregateIQ created for SCL. @profcarroll @CBCNews @traciemac_Bmore
We had a tip about Chris Wylie's involvement with @CamAnalytica and @AggregateIQ. We tried to reach out to him but he'd already gone to ground...spilling secrets. What we suspected is now looking true - a Canadian company had deep ties to @CamAnalytica.
The story about data and voter manipulation should not end at @CamAnalytica, @facebook or even @realDonaldTrump, it should end at Robert and Rebekah Mercer who funded this scheme. If you don't know about them, @traciemac_Bmore tell you here: narativ.org/2017/08/20/pol…
Is Chris Wylie a hero for revealing the truth, or has he discovered his conscience too late? As he surveys the destruction of global liberal democracies caused by his work, should he be glorified or vilified? More to come...
