Cambridge Analytica – Part 1
In the beginning there was Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) which trained the UK Ministry of Defence and NATO in agitprop/psy ops techniques. You have to keep that in mind when you look at what they were involved in beginning in at least 2014 in various US elections. They introduced military psychological warfare techniques into political campaigns as ‘marketing’ and they had access to military data bases.
Alexander Nix was a board member of SCL and he was contacted by Steve Bannon to assist with the use of those techniques in the Breitbart alt-right war to move the US to the Right. To separate SCL from the Breitbart ‘crusade’, Cambridge Analytica, was formed with Robert Mercer’s money, Nix as CEO, and Steve Bannon on the board of the new entity. Further funding was received from Peter Thiel. who was on the board of Facebook and founded Palantir Technologies, a big data analysis company that received major funding from the CIA, and Erik Prince of Blackwater USA fame.
In Part 1 you see that Russia was not the only entity engaged in psychological warfare against Americans.

Well done Bryan. A nice summation. I see from my own checking that the UK was involved significantly more than most suspect. I also suspect there are elements in the USA involved, but I expect Mueller has that covered. 🙂
Well, Peter Thiel’s links to the CIA & Erik Prince and mercs do tend to point to more than political advertising. The boffins might be British and Canadians but it was paid for with US dollars.
Nothing would make me happier than finding Peter Thiel on Mueller’s “naughty” list. What a vile nasty piece of work he is.
Alas, with his connections I suspect he’ll squirm out of this without a problem.
Come on, a Maine coon kitten would make anyone happier that putting Thiel in the Atlanta Federal Prison for decades. But if was a Siamese kitten, Thiel hears the CLANG. 😈
Thiel, the Mercers, the Kochs, the Waltons, Adelson provide the cash to make the world a worse place.
