For 4 years I’ve been keeping track of the corruption, double dealing, stealing from taxpayers, hate and following the same playbook SCL & Cambridge Analytica put in place in every globally hijacked democracy of theirs.
I’ve learned a few things: https://twitter.com/velvetblade/status/1270437261331566592
I’ve learned a few things: https://twitter.com/velvetblade/status/1270437261331566592
I learned Kenya (SCL client Kenyatta), has a better sense of democracy than the US despite having a weak electoral system. Over & over the US ignores grievous harms to our democratic republic, failing to act swiftly for fear of losing political seats. https://qz.com/africa/1105214/kenya-presidential-election-redo-iebc-commissioner-roselyn-akombe-has-resigned-and-fled-to-the-us/
I learned Malaysia has more will than the US to hold it’s leaders accountable for kleptocracy. PM Najib & his party = SCL clients.
The US relies on states. Our failure to hold Bush appointees accountable has led to the unbridled corruption of Trump. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-malaysia-politics-najib-idUSKBN1JT0WJ

I learned when Nigerian election videos using machetes & immolation clips were used by Cambridge Analytica for politics (created by Harris Media) no one cared because it wasn’t the US. It couldn’t possibly happen here. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/04/cambridge-analytica-used-violent-video-to-try-to-influence-nigerian-election
I learned even when Cambridge Analytica used the same violent, dystopian tactics for their client, Russian infiltrated NRA, in the US that they deployed in Nigeria (see above), no one cared. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/07/13/the-nras-dystopian-vision-of-america/
I learned that Cambridge Analytica took on Nazl clients (AfD) for politics in Germany through Harris Media.
No one in the US cared because it couldn’t happen here. https://m.dw.com/en/germanys-afd-takes-on-trump-campaign-linked-harris-media-for-social-media/a-40306137

I learned that through AggregateIQ (AIQ aka SCL Canada) leaving their tool repository open (found by @VickerySec) that indeed, Cambridge Analytica & SCL pumped Pepe Memes & swastikas for Trump’s 2016 election.
In the US this was a blip, hardly mentioned & not covered by media. https://twitter.com/vickerysec/status/984227940186533888

I learned the purposeful radicalization of white nationalists & nazls was an intentional political ploy by SCL/Cambridge Analytica/AIQ in tandem with Trump for politics.
People cared about the escalation of racism, but not WHY/HOW it manifested as it did https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/otilliasteadman/trump-charlottesville-defend-white-supremacists

I learned a web of SCL clients with authoritarian, kleptocratic ideals, support each other in their grift.
Birds of a feather.
Netanyahu = SCL client https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/21/israeli-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu-indicted-for-bribery-and

I learned Facebook is more interested in clicks & paid ads than having a social conscience. SCL, Cambridge Analytica, Russia & Trump found Facebook uniquely situated to mind-hack for politics. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/16/facebook-algorithm-found-to-actively-promote-holocaust-denial
I learned that Facebook, with help of employees that formerly worked for SCL & Cambridge Analytica, cared more about observing the genocides they propelled vs stopping them.
This valuable data allowed them to tweak their mind-hacking algos even more. https://newrepublic.com/article/147486/facebook-genocide-problem

I learned US politicians did not care enough to truly educate themselves with few exceptions. No one has been truly held to account & so Facebook and Bannon continue to spread a surreal veil of disinformation EASILY. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/facebook-bannon-trump/
I learned since Bannon & Mercer’s involvement in 2014, SCL/Cambridge Analytica worked for corrupt or corruptible global clients. Easier to pocket $ from kleptocrats.
Liviu Dragnea in Romania, a felon for money laundering & bribery, was a client. https://www.riseproject.ro/page/2/?s=dragnea

I learned over & over that Trump criminals coordinated with other shady SCL/Cambridge Analytica clients.
Here’s Giuliani with Liviu Dragnea. https://www.salon.com/2019/09/25/rudys-got-a-scandal-of-his-own-giuliani-meddled-in-romania-while-on-trumps-payroll/

I learned US voter information & psychographic profiles - what makes you tick to sway decision making- was freely shared by Trump’s campaign manager with the GRU.
And no one was held accountable despite in being in the Mueller Report. https://twitter.com/VelvetBlade/status/1322689729998000130

I learned nothing has happened to hold these people accountable or stop them from criminally hijacking democracy in the US. Either soft sentences for some, burying Special Counsel info or Trump pardoning others has halted accountability. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/13/paul-manafort-released-from-prison-due-to-virus-concerns-254532
I learned the media still has a lot of lessons to learn about the vast manipulation of SCL/Cambridge Analytica that go well beyond data, number crunching & voter profiles. It’s still happening. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1245387
I learned the right wing ecosystem of media - Fox, Sinclair, OANN & satellite smaller sites built by SCL/Cambridge Analytica & Russia - created false narratives to sway critical thinking, creating a panopticon of behaviour modification. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/enter-here-to-explore-the-alternate-universe-of-right-wing-media/2020/01/04/fc882e6a-2e3b-11ea-9b60-817cc18cf173_story.html
I learned the US has a news desert problem that Trump’s FTC hijacked to promote seemingly local news with a Trump bent.
In addition SCL/Cambridge Analytica, Russia & others created local news looking sites to sway critical thinking & push disinformation. https://www.newsmediaalliance.org/news-deserts/

These are the things I think about today that explain why our election did not start out as a brisk & loud landslide statement against a criminal, kleptocrat, COVID killing, inept, racist, narcissistic POTUS who would see the US in recession & harmed by bad governance.
For more reference: over 500 posts listing SCL/Cambridge Analytica documents & articles covering global activity.
The US is not an island. This is not new. Just because you think it can’t happen here, doesn’t mean it has not been & isn’t right now.

ADDENDUM:
I learned @Facebook really really doesn’t give a sh!t.
If they aren’t going to stop Bannon after calling for decapitation & piking of government officials, then Facebook needs to be held to account & heavily regulated.
