I’m hearing Bannon lied at the FT conference. I have many reciepts that show Cambridge Analytica and SCL Group are tightly intertwined down to our data. Plus Nix told Parliament data is shareable between the entities.
Note Bannon’s Kremlin-style “whattaboutism” deflection but he’s wrong: Facebook’s Custom Audiences and Lookalikes features were not available during Obama campaigns. Bannon’s Project Alamo was all about uploading voter files into Facebook.

Trying to get my hands on the transcript of Bannon at #FTFutureNews conference so I can scrutinize his comments about #CambridgeAnalytica and #SCL
Wendy found video of Bannon at #FTFutureNews today. He contradicts @chrisinsilico on @AriMelber on whether he knew about GSR FB data scam. He contradicts Nix’s statements to Parliament about #CambridgeAnalytica and #SCL being totally separate companies.
Here’s CA/SCL suspended-CEO Nix to Parliament and how data may flow from CA to SCL. So not totally separate companies, Steve Bannon. Anyone can request their data to find it comes from SCL Elections Ltd and costs £10 to procure. data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

Criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica (SCL Elections Ltd) begins in UK tomorrow. It’s a crime to defy an order from the Information Commissioner’s Office. They refuse to disclose a complete US voter file despite a legal order from their regulator. ico.org.uk/media/action-w…
Meanwhile in the USA, our closest counterpart is the FTC and it is shutdown. Its Facebook Cambridge Analytica investigation is delayed. The FTC vs D-Link trial is now also delayed to the summer. #ShutdownStories
For the record, I won’t be attending the trial tomorrow, but I will share news as it comes in. I’m not the plaintiff/complainant here. This is the ICO vs SCL, the UK regulator simply upholding the Data Protection Act of 1998. Not sure if we’ll see Nix or Wheatland cross-examined.

Brexit movie premiering on UK TV now (HBO in the US later this month). Apparently, it’s a fictionalization first and foremost. #UncivilWar
Imagine casting Robert Mercer
HBO audiences in America would need an understanding of the British campaign finance law scandal that taints Brexit to spot it in this Easter Egg.

First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

Cambridge Analytica and SCL Elections are still operating. I have files strongly indicating this from 6 days ago.
Gov't investigations would be wise to get preservation notices out to AWS Ireland for anything interacting with ca-eng[.]io, auth[.]ca-eng[.]io, vault[.]ca-eng[.]io

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS:
2/ Steve Bannon was on the Cambridge Analytica board, and apparently Cambridge Analytica had the Clinton emails. And Bannon arranged Erik Prince's Breitbart interview on the Clinton emails 96 hours before the election (see my pinned tweet). Bannon just got very interesting again.
3/ Paul Wood is the BBC correspondent who discovered, in January 2017, that the CIA had confirmed the existence of multiple kompromat tapes of Trump (in Putin's possession). I begged U.S. media to listen to Wood; no one did. Now he has another major scoop. Will U.S. media listen?

ft.com/content/4edbf8…
Emerdata investors are in a stand-off with Alexander Nix after he allegedly withdrew more than $8m and are pressing him to repay the money. One person added that Mr Nix said the withdrawal was made in exchange for unbooked services.

Documents seen by FT set out plans to raise about $30m to pitch for commercially-related work & described using govt data on citizens & foreign nationals to "identify, segment and target key audiences for campaigns of information or influence.”

"I wouldn’t say it was just because of Donald Trump, but Donald Trump makes it click in your head that this actually has a much wider impact." "I don’t think that military-style information operations is conducive for any democratic process."

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
