As someone whose been researching BREXT, TRUMP + RUSSIA for a couple of years, it's pretty amazing to see the media suddenly starting to ring alarm bells - after yesterday's FASCIST COUP attempt! Too many have been positively incurious or complicit with boosting TRUMP + BREXIT.
The number of JOURNALISTS and CITIZEN RESEARCHERS who have been trying to investigate the links between TRUMP, BREXIT and RUSSIA is remarkably small, and so tiny that we have all more or less found each other on Twitter... I think this is shameful.
Below I will try to credit some of the people who have made important contributions and tried to explore different aspects of this terrifying, sophisticated and wide-ranging attack on democracy... Some won't want public acknowledgement because of the associated attacks + dangers.
Carole CADWALLADR : @carolecadwalla : has done more than anyone else to highlight the role of social media, data mining and profiling in attacking DEMOCRACY. Her warnings and scoops have been studiously ignored by many in power. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great-british-brexit-robbery-hijacked-democracy
... a library of Carole's articles can be found here : https://www.theguardian.com/profile/carolecadwalladr?page=6
Peter JUKES @peterjukes of BYLINE TIMES @BylineTimes has gone so far as to set up a subscription-based newspaper dedicated to encouraging high quality investigative journalism. In many instances this newspaper has ploughed furrows none of the big boys have touched...
A library of TRUMP / BREXIT / RUSSIA articles can be found here which have been written by people like @Turloughc, @jonlis1 @Hardeep_Matharu, @Otto_English, @ZarinaZabrisky https://bylinetimes.com/columns/brexit-trump-russia/
The BAKER STREET HERALD @bakerstherald has recent done some astonishing work on the economic and deregulatory objectives of BREXIT including research into the significance of FREE PORTS, ENTERPRISE CITIES, BABSON GLOBAL + the AUSTRIAN SCHOOL of ECONOMICS https://bakerstreetherald.com/
@Redrum_of_Crows is my brother-in-investigative-arms and got stated by looking into FASCIST memes, trolls and DNS records about 4 years ago. His detailed investigations of WIKILEAKS, 4CHAN, 8CHAN and QANON have been particularly impressive.
@Tentoads4truth probably knows almost as much about the #KochNetwork and the KOCHS, as they know about themselves and is the go to reference for their latest shenanigans and long-term gaming of DEMOCRACY via political donations.
@fascinatorfun has been relentless, generous and forensic while exploring the COMPANIES / COMPANIES HOUSE details for multiple people linked to BREXIT, the CONSERVATIVE PARTY, UKIP, LEAVE EU, VOTE LEAVE and the more recent COVID outbreak.
@jennycohn1 has done some crucial work warning about the insecure use of electronic VOTING MACHINES and ONLINE TABULATORS, which can be connected to the internet and sadly remain vulnerable to foreign ownership, interference and hackers.
@GlennaWPLG has recently uncovered the use of THIRD PARTY / SHILL candidates to dilute the vote for DEMOCRATS in the FLORIDA's SENATE RACE + efforts to confuse voters with THIRD PARTY candidates bearing similar names to the main opposition. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/11/11/evidence-suggests-several-state-senate-candidates-were-plants-funded-by-dark-money/
@cockneycampaign has done some detailed digging into individual people involved with BREXIT and been particularly good on widely overlooked stories, such as the FEVER PARTIES / SEX PARTIES organised for upwardly mobile CONSERVATIVES.
Former Green MEP, Molly SCOTT CATO has put together an extremely useful dossier on the BAD BOYS OF BREXIT. This is an extremely useful reference when learning about who's who, and what they have to do with BREXIT / TRUMP. https://badboysofbrexit.com/ h/t @PozzyWozzy
@DeSmogUK have used online social graphs such as those provided by @twittlesis to explore the links between entities such as CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA, FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES; THINK TANKS, POLITICIANS + DONORS. Their approach got me started with network analysis https://www.desmog.co.uk/2018/03/29/mapped-cambridge-analytica-s-ties-fossil-fuel-industry
@DeSmogUK's who's who of BREXIT and CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL blazed a trail and remains an invaluable reference. https://www.desmog.co.uk/2019/06/07/brexit-climate-denier-map
@sophie_e_hill has done some beautiful and detailed network charts exploring detailed aspects of BREXIT including the recent PPE CONTRACTS that so many find suspicious. The use of extra contextual information is very useful and definitely the way forward. https://twitter.com/sophie_e_hill/status/1329070590309830658?s=19
@netflix's "THE GREAT HACK" was very revealing + covered the efforts of @profcarroll to find out what data was held on him, as CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA had 5000+ data points on every American. This film features Carole CADWALLADR, Chris WYLIE + Brittany KAISER
@StillDelvingH has done some meticulous original charts looking at the connections between key BREXIT people and groups. These charts deserve detailed attention. Worringly they hint at the scale, complexity and subtlety of BREXIT'S support system... https://twitter.com/StillDelvingH/status/1178065604189638657?s=09
@MarcusJBall, @eyejosh, @thatginamiller, @JMPSimor, @joannaccherry, @JolyonMaugham, @GoodLawProject have all tried using the law to hold our political leaders + their policies to account. This has been one of the most significant and powerful strands of effort...
@davidallengreen and @BarristerSecret have provided detailed expert assessments for the public of legal issues, as the threats to our democracy and the rule of law have come under ever more serious.
@mdouganlpool has produced detailed video assessments of the Constitutional aspects of BREXIT and made crucial concepts accessible and understandable to the public, while most politicians, officials and media outlets were happy to skip over the immense implications of BREXIT.
@nw_nicholas and his @corruptionukorg initiative have helped to flag the CORRUPTION, which seems to be endemic in the UK and to underpin the logic of those advocating a HARD / NO DEAL BREXIT...
@StefSimanowitz has focused his attention on PALANTIR and the use of health data by big tech companies, as they attempt to diversify into PHARACEUTICALS and HEALTHCARE... https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1330489040387366914?s=19
@DavidHenigUK @AnnaJerzewska and other trade experts have tried to explain the complex arrangements associated with agree major trade deals. Again this has filled an important void left by our politicians and the media.
@DominicGrieve1 @anna_soubry @IanCLucas @DamianCollins @Ianblackford_MP and other politicians criticised the UK GOVERNMENT from within the system and sometimes even got thrown out, squeezed out, deselected or vilified as a result.
Artists and creatives such as @Coldwar_Steve @mikegove12 and others have kept us thinking and amused during some of the darkest times in our national history.
@VickerySec of @UpGuard has found some of the massive databases (containing private information about voters) that have been put on the internet by bad actors... and warned the public, politicians and movie makers about the associated dangers.
Dexter FILKINS of the @NewYorker has published a detailed investigation of the connections between TRUMP TOWER and ALFA BANK in MOSCOW. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign
In his first report, Robert MUELLER and his team at the @FBI provided a detailed dissection of the links between the TRUMP WHITE HOUSE and Vladimir PUTIN'S KREMLIN. This research provided a rock solid and detailed record for all other efforts and will hopefully be expanded upon.
Christopher STEELE'S DOSSIER provided crucial early insights into the links between Donald TRUMP and Russia and warned about the fundamental rottenness of the people and values within the TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.
In the US, the @thedailybeast has produced detailed articles into the alleged links between Donald TRUMP and RUSSIAN MAFIA... https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-alleged-russian-mobsters-in-trump-worlds-orbit-a-dirty-dozen
In her book SHADOW NETWORKS, @anelsona has produce a detailed account of the infilitration of US politics by fundamentalist Christians via the COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY, over multiple decades. This issue's also likely to be relevant in UK + EU politics. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shadow-Network-Media-Secret-Radical/dp/163557319X
Some of the individuals worth following include: @_eqwal @ElliotElinor @Ian_Fraser @Gian_TCatt @simoncosgrove @acgrayling @gavinesler @HoppySaul @startmakingsens @adamhamdy @JohnWest_JAWS @jonworth @K2020Cat @VesperUK @jason_kint @annettedittert @katybeeee @kercle @Kevin_Maguire

I keep thinking of additional people, articles and writers that I would like to credit for sounding the alarm about the threats posed by Donald TRUMP and BREXIT, so will put together a follow up thread soon. Sorry if I missed you in thread above, pls DM me if this applies to you
