Meet Sam Patten, former #CambridgeAnalytica operative who teamed up with accused Russian intel asset, Konstantin Kilimnik. In 2014, #AggregateIQ built RIPON for SCL Elections Ltd. AIQ is now suspended by Facebook. thedailybeast.com/accused-russia… via @dcpoll
Go deep on Patten with @NatashaBertrand #CambridgeAnalytica theatlantic.com/amp/article/55…
Of course @carolecadwalla covered Patton’s role in Nigeria election black ops, with (now suspended) #AggregateIQ it turns out. The Oregon office of #CambridgeAnalytica would be conveniently close to Victoria, B.C., just saying.
So I’m flicking thru Black Cube’s website after going over this Vincent Tchenguiz article (original SCL investor, Mercer made him divest per Wylie) and I’m thinking about my legal challenge against SCL and I’m having thoughts. amp.theguardian.com/business/2013/…
Please back my @CrowdJustice campaign if you haven’t already. I’m just a Brooklyn dad who has been ranting about data privacy for years. #CambridgeAnalytica #SCL
Latest on Facebook suspensions by @carolecadwalla to better understand how Trump, Bolton, Brexit intersect across USA, UK, Canada and companies called AggregateIQ, Cambridge Analytica, and SCL Elections. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
It’s stunning how easy it is to prove that Cambridge Analytica is a shell company for SCL Elections. Start a Subject Access Request (datarequests.cambridgeanalytica.org) and you’ll get this email. Last year mine came from data.compliance@sclgroup.cc but they’ve since “fixed” the domain.

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

The @nytimes has corrected its earlier story on Manafort's efforts to pass polling data using his old associate & reported Russian intel agent Konstantin Kilimnik. The Times now says the data was given to Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov. <1 of 8>nyti.ms/2H0YLzj
Lyovochkin and Akhmetov are both pro-Russian figures in Ukraine who knew Manafort well. Several Ukrainians have told me Lyovochkin was the driving force behind the strange "peace proposal" floated by Radical Party MP Andrii Artemenko in early 2017. <2 of 8>
Recall that Artemenko passed the proposal to Michael Cohen, who then passed it to Michael Flynn. The proposal itself was half-baked, but it was likely just a fig leaf for removing sanctions, which was what the Russians most wanted from Trump. <3 of 8>

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

Sam Patten's name or backer may not resonate but dig into his work and his employers desire to elect the unelectable "So anyway, the irony was, because it was SCL I assumed it was the bad guys." and the need to create a false enemy like "migrants" parliament.uk/business/commi…
SCL client Andy Wigmore of Leave.eu: "The propaganda machine of the Nazis, for instance – you take away all the hideous horror and that kind of stuff – it was very clever, the way they managed to do what they did." theguardian.com/politics/short…
Cambridge Analytica /SCL CEO Alexander Nix smack talking future client Trump back when they were getting paid $5.8m to pimp Ted Cruz against @realDonaldTrump . In other words, they don't care who they elect or what negative impact they cause. #PayUpSucker

Breaking: Feds charge Sam Patten as unregistered agent for Ukrainian parties.

1. worked with Cambridge Analytica
2. associate of Manafort and Kilimnik (agent with active ties to Russian military intelligence)

Read @NatashaBertrand's write up from April:
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Sam Patten's own words about his work for #CambridgeAnalytica’s parent company, SCL Group:

“included taking micro-targeting to the next level” during the 2014 midterms, developing methods “adopted by at least one major U.S. presidential candidate.”
Revealing:

Sam Patten: “I have no reason to suspect him [Kilimnik] of being a Russian agent."

The two worked together for decades including at IRI.

What others at IRI said about Kilimnik

“It was like ‘Kostya, the guy from the GRU’ — that’s how we talked about him.”
