“It didn’t make any sense to me,” says (whistleblower Christopher) Wylie. “I didn’t understand either the email or the pitch presentation we did. Why would a Russian oil company want to target information on American voters?”— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) March 17, 2018

Big Thread on Cambridge Analytica
Lots to unpack in this Cambridge Analytica download. (And great to see @nytimes leveraging the amazing research @carolecadwalla has done on this story eons before anyone else)— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) March 17, 2018
In sum, everyone should probably be pissed off. Why? /1https://t.co/zxTMQSPj1s
- First, some details. 1- Veterans of Obama data operations were highly sought after by all sorts of goons who wanted to capture/weaponize that knowledge. (Many hired by Russia-connected oligarchs/banks/political parties etc). Mercenary mindset of this world spread TTPs fast /23 replies34 retweets107 likes
- 2- a lot of people understood what this was being used for. No one said anything. Creating an arsenal of information weapons. Swell. /33 replies40 retweets125 likes
- 3- Alexander Nix not only sought to acquire illegally obtained information from Assange, he should to collect his own compromat by hiring ex-spies and entrapping targets (or so he boasted). /42 replies40 retweets110 likes
- 4- Nix acquired other illegal data from a guy who -- for real -- now calls himself Dr. Spectre. If you haven't read about Kogan before, look him up. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/mg9vvn/how-our-likes-helped-trump-win … /52 replies33 retweets103 likes
- 5- how did CA/SCL perfect it's methods? They got their government clients to give them data -- as part of their campaigns to win elections in this places. (Read about how CA/SCL helped destabilize Kenya in the elex, if you haven't already) /64 replies28 retweets95 likes
- 6- The Mercers -- who wanted to "rewire American politics" via culture wars -- invested to develop these tools of coercive persuasion and mindfuckery. Invested a lot. Certainly, they seemed convinced of their efficacy. Remember Bannon and Conway come from Mercerworld /73 replies68 retweets144 likes
- So why be mad? A bunch of people who should have known better aided a bunch of wealthy ideologues and guys who knew that what they were doing was building "weapons" to change perceptions. These weapons were beta-tested on you, America. /83 replies68 retweets171 likes
- They have also been used in a lot of other places where there is a lot less attention to what has happened. The underlying theme is rich people who don't think very much about the citizens they believe they have the right to control /92 replies43 retweets159 likes
- I'm tired of people laughing this off, or blaming "uninformed, uneducated, naive Americans" for being persuadable. These are tools -- weapons -- of persuasion and control. It isn't fair to blame the targets, who had no idea this was happening. /1019 replies100 retweets282 likes
