Cambridge Analytica, SCL, Facebook - Trump, Brexit

[Firestarter]

It has been reported that two-time president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva brought 30 million Brazilians out of poverty in only a few years.
These days Lula is the most famous Brazilian political prisoner (some claim on trumped up charges).

Polls suggest that Lula could easily win this election, if he was not serving a 12-year prison sentence for money laundering

With Bolsonaro the Brazilian Trump, and Lula the Brazilian Biden, will Brazil's 2022 presidential election mirror the 2020 US election?!?

Just imagine the horrors if young people lose all interest in the political freakshow. There is a growing disinterest of Brazilian teenagers in politics, with a record low number of teenagers with a voter registration.
So several Hollywood stars are tring to convince them that it's important to vote, and that their vote really makes a difference.

These moviestars include: Leonardo DiCaprio; Julianne Moore (of Jurassic Park fame); Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk from the Marvel movies); and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker from Star Wars).
It has been claimed that these stars have a left wing bias, and support Lula...

The marketing company Quid is behind this campaign to get young Brazilians to vote.
One of Quid’s partners is Pedro Telles, co-founder of Bancada Ativista, linked to the Socialism and Freedom Party (PSOL) dedicated to getting left-wing activists elected in São Paulo. Other Quid partners are also associated with the left wing Fernando Haddad (PT) and PSOL: https://www.newsrelease.in/hulk-luke-sk ... istration/

For some reason most stories about this "forget" to mention that the British Royal controlled SCL Group was the parent company of Cambridge Analytica...

Big headlines on 23 May about Washington DC Attorney General Karl Racine suing Mark Zuckerberg for violating the privacy of 87 million Americans, by selling personal information to Cambridge Analytica. In 2019, Facebook settled a similar case with the FTC for a record $5 billion. This new case could result in fines against Zuckerberg personally (I he wasn't worth more than $70 billion that could be scary).
Racine released a statement that includes:

This unprecedented security breach exposed tens of millions of Americans’ personal information, and Mr. Zuckerberg’s policies enabled a multi-year effort to mislead users about the extent of Facebook’s wrongful conduct.

-------------------------------------

At first glance this looks like a real "bombshell", but in reality it isn't much more than some emails between Brexiteers, which were published online, about wanting to get rid of Theresa May as PM, and then/now her replacement Boris Johnson.
If by comparison I send some emails to my friends that I want to get rid of Willem-Alexander's university friend Mark Rutte as Dutch PM, this shouldn't trouble anybody...

What is also missing from this story is a good motive for why this pro-Brexit group wanted a "hard" Brexit.
I've earlier posted in this thread about Brexit being staged to keep the British offshore banks, the money laundering paradise of the world. In retrospect it could also have had something to do with the COVID panddemic that was started a couple of months after the Brexit deal was finalised.

A group of pro-Brexit operatives linked to British intelligence services have been using their influence to create a "hard" Brexit.
This group includes Sir Richard Dearlove (former MI6 chief); Jacob Rees-Mogg (who has become a part of the Johnson administration); Gwythian Prins (member of the UK Chief of Defence Staff’s Strategy Advisory Panel, former NATO and Ministry of Defence advisor); Robert Tombs; and Evelyn Farr.
The efforts were financed by wealthy backers Tim and Mary Clode and Julian ‘Toby’ Blackwell. It isn't clear how much (then thousands of pounds?) and what these efforts are (infiltrating the government, writing pro-Brexit pieces)...

In September 2018, Gwythian Prins sent an email to Julian Blackwell, about going to Washington DC to “open a line of attack in support of us from the USA” ... “May must go. The details of how that will be done ‘C’ [Dearlove] will hear on 18th September”.
The "details of how that will be done" could make this interesting, but this is missing...


In June 2019, May was already ousted as leader of the Conservative party. That month, Prins sent proposals to Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Dearlove said “With the proper team around him he [Boris Johnson] will do well…we need a leader who has the charisma and ability to see off [Jeremy] Corbyn and accommodate the [Nigel] Farage threat. There is no alternative when you look at the issue from this angle”.
Dearlove also said he was “reasonably confident” that Johnson would block Huawei’s participation in Britain’s 5G network (which indeed happened).


But later Boris Johnson fell out of favour (could this be behind partygate?), in January 2022, Prins thinking out loud, “Sunak won’t do will he? He’s another globalonist Blairite at heart isn’t he? Like Boris?”: https://thegrayzone.com/2022/05/15/oper ... s-johnson/


Ironically the Grayzone site has earlier posted about the Integrity Initiative (https://archive.ph/485VT) also overlong but with a description of the smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn (unlike this piece).
I've earlier posted about this here:

In 2019, Jeremy Corbyn looked like a serious contender to become UK PM for the Labour Party. For whatever reason, the Integrity Initiative started a smear campaign against him, which included insinuating Corbyn is a Russian spy, that succeeded in keeping Bullingdon boy Boris Johnson the PM.

It becomes even stranger when we learn that one Simon Bracey-Lane in September 2015 volunteered to work on the Labour election campaigns as he was "inspired" by Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
In 2015, the same Bracey-Lane was also a Field Organiser for Bernie Sanders’ Presidential campaign.
That's the same Bracey-Lane, who in 2018 worked at the secret headquarters of Integrity Initiative!

I guess that it's impossible to find out who is ultimately behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines (that were already out of order)...
Ultimately the political psychos are working together to implement the "green" technocratic agenda, so it doesn't even matter "who" performed the bombing!

In response to the evident sabotage of both the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, Polish MEP Radoslaw Sikorski (Belfer fellow and Bilderberg steering committee member) tweeted not so subtly, "Thank you, USA" (for some reason deleted earlier today).
He wasn't sarcastic though, like "everybody" asumes, but was in fact thanking the US (I'm not completely sure if he actually blamed/thanked the US for this sabotage).

He also tweeted:

All Ukrainian and Baltic sea states have opposed Nordstream's construction for 20 years.
Now $20 billion of scrap metal lies at the bottom of the sea, another cost to Russia of its criminal decision to invade Ukraine.
Someone, @MFA_Russia, did a special maintenance operation.

https://archive.ph/vYPmK

Radoslaw Sikorski was also a director at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), from 2003 to 2005, and while at Oxford a member of the notorious Bullingdon Club.
Sikorski is married to Anne Applebaum, who has also been a fellow at the AEI, and is an associate of Hillary Clinton. She studied at Oxford (where else?) and the (Fabian) London School of Economics.

Applebaum is a member of the CFR, director of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and 2015 Bilderberg attandee.
My reason for posting about her is that she also worked for the Legatum Institute from 2011 to 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Applebaum


Legatum is interesting for its connection to the Brexit, SCL Group (Cambridge Analytica) network:

Legatum’s founder Christopher Chandler and Mark Stoleson, CEO of the Legatum Group, opened accounts at Pilatus Bank for buying a Maltese passport.

.

And of course Legatum is connected to the Macro Advisory Partners through which Biden is controlled.

co-founder and CEO of Macro Advisory Partners, Nader Mousavizadeh; another American Rhodes scholar, and a global leader of the World Economic Forum.
Prior to founding Macro, Nader was the CEO of Oxford Analytica. Oxford Analytica was founded by one of the Nixon plumbers, who worked closely with none other than Henry Kissinger.
Nader Mousavizadeh was also the (or a) handler of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. He wrote and ordered Annan what to say, when the brutal bombing of Serbia was started in 1999.

Nader's wife, Alexandra Mousavizadeh, is working for Legatum.

Anybody that has been looking into who orchestrated the Trum 2016 election victory knows about Cambridge Analytica and Rupert Murdoch's FOX (Trump) News.

But by far the biggest TV media conglomerate in the US is the little known Sinclair Broadcast Group. I haven't found a single story on how they were involved in getting Donald crowned president.
There is some interesting information on how Donald's FCC commissioner, Koch supporter Ajit Pai made it possible for Sinclair to own an even bigger share of the TV market in the US,

In January 2017, FCC commissioner Pai meets Sinclair Broadcast Group chairman David Smith on “relaxing restrictions on television stations’ sharing of advertising revenue and other resources”.

In April 2017, the FCC loosens restrictions on how many stations one company may own.
In April 2017, chairman Pai announces that the FCC will vote on a proposal to reverse open internet rules.
In April 2017, Sinclair hires former Trump White House official Boris Epshteyn as it’s chief political analyst.

On 9 November 2017, Ajit Pai announces to remove media cross ownership rule, that was passed by the FCC in 1975 to prevent a monopoly over the news over different media channels: https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/11/ ... -Amendment


The Trump-associated Sinclair Broadcast Group, controlling 193 television stations in the US, has shown the true nature of "freedom of the press" (it was Deadspin that exposed this)...

They had the wonderful idea to let its anchors nationwide record a promotional message about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country" (you have to see/hear this to believe it!).
.

The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

I've previously posted about the 16 October 2017 murder of the Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, for exposing some real scandals in the world of passport buying, corruption and rigging elections.

Interestingly somebody got convicted for ordering the hit, Maltese gangster businessman Yorgen Fenech, whose business empire includes casinos, reportedly for 150,000 euros ($175,540).
Fenech headed a consortium which was awarded a government contract for a power station. Caruana Galizia was investigating the corruption in awarding this contract when she was murdered.

Not only former PM Joseph Muscat was close to Fenech, who was forced to resign in January 2020 after protests on the streets in Malta, but also his chief of staff Keith Schembri, and former energy minister Konrad Mizzi.
Schembri and Mizzi were linked to 17 Black, a "secret company" owned by Fenech. In March 2021, Schembri was charged with money laundering and fraud.

One suspect in Caruana Galizia’s murder, the "middleman" Melvin Theuma confessed in return for a pardon.
Vince Muscat (no relation to Joseph), pled guilty and was sentenced to 15 years in jail.
The brothers George and Alfred Degiorgio were recently sentenced to 40 years in prison: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... gen-fenech
(https://archive.ph/fZkn8)


In February 2019, Joseph Muscat invited Fenech to his birthday party at Girgenti, where according to Yorgen Fenech discussed the Caruana Galizia murder, which was denied by Muscat.
They also had repeated phone conversations and sent each other text messages: https://lovinmalta.com/news/yorgen-fene ... nting-him/
(https://archive.ph/s75NJ)


I'm disgusted that none of these so-called journalists (including Daphne Caruana Galizia's cowardly sons!) expose the more interesting links.
This is what I wrote earlier...
.

Daphne Caruana Galizia repeatedly exposed the passports for money scheme by Henley and Partners that was chaired by the Swiss lawyer Christian Kalin and Kalin’s shady connections to Keith Schembri and PM Joseph Muscat.
See Christian Kalin (right) with Joseph Muscat (left) and Keith Schembri (centre background).


Daphne Caruana Galizia was repeatedly harassed with defamation law suits to remove this information from her blogspot.
When I first tried to look for more information on this interesting link: Google.nl refused to handle my search request (with an error message noting that “suspicious” activity was observed on my computer). Duckduckgo.com had some difficulty finding the most interesting stories…

Galizia was sued for defamation in London by the notorious law firm Mishcon de Reya for Henley and Partners. She had evidence that Christian Kalin had discussed this ploy with PM of Malta Joseph Muscat and his chief of staff Keith Schembri (see the mail).


(...)

About 10 years ago chairman of Henley and Partners, Christian Kalin, struck up a relationship with former CEO of Cambridge Analytica, Alexander Nix.

.

In February 2016, Caruana Galizia started exposing that Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri, Muscat's closest lieutenants, had set up unnamed Panama companies linked to New Zealand trusts.
A March 2014 profit-sharing agreement under which Willerby, owned by Brian Tonna, was given half the profits Nexia BT earned from passport sales.
The FIAU discovered that 3 Russians, who applied for citizenship through Nexia BT, paid €166,832 directly into Willerby Trade's Pilatus account. Then Willerby paid a €100,000 kickback to the Pilatus account of Maltese Prime Minister's chief of staff, Keith Schembri.
A fourth FIAU report shows links between Mizzi and Schembri's Panama companies and 17 Black and Macbridge in Dubai – which Caruana Galizia was investigating in April 2016.

In early 2015, Malta signed a controversial $1 billion gas supply contract with Azerbaijan. The FIAU traced $1.6 million into 17 Black's Noor Islamic Bank in Dubai from a Latvian bank. The payment came from a company in the Seychelles owned by an Azerbaijan national.

On 16 February, the "reputable" Guardian published a story on "team Jorge" that got a lot more views than the much better story that was published the day before on the little known Forbiddenstories.org by the "Story Killers" (see link at the bottom)...

In short in 2015, the Israeli Tal Hanan, using the alias “Jorge”, was in contact with the notorious Cambridge Analytica about interfering in elections.
“Team Jorge” played a role in the presidential election in Nigeria, trying (but failing) to discredit Buhari in an attempt to get Jonathan elected: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/ ... ils-reveal


What makes this "Story Killers" article so interesting is that it actually describes some of the tactics used to manipulate the internet.
Tal Hanan (a.k.a. Jorge) is CEO of Demoman International. Jorge boasted of interfering in “33 presidential campaigns, 27 of which were successful”...

In 2015, Jorge sent Cambridge Analytica the brochure “elections, intelligence and special operations” to sell his services. In 2017, so after Trump had been elected president, Jorge offered Cambridge Analytica a “Semi-Auto Avatar creation and network deployment system” that could be used to create and use automated profiles of virtual people on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, and Bitcoin, to spread the wanted propaganda.
In 2022, Jorge had more than 30,000 automated profiles to post comments on social media.

Jorge hacked Gmail accounts, a Google Drive and address book, and several Telegram accounts.
Jorge sent messages from the hacked Telegram accounts so he could mess up their relationships.

AIMS (Advanced Impact Media Solutions) defended Tomás Zerón de Lucio, a high-level Mexican official from 2013 to 2016 who was wanted through an international arrest warrant. Zerón authorised buying Pegasus spyware in Mexico and has escaped to Israel, which has refused to extradite him.
Zerón is accused of kidnapping, torture and tampering with evidence in the investigation of the disappearance of 43 students in 2014. Jorge’s BOTs argue that these accusations are a fabricated political campaign against an “innocent” man by Mexico’s “corrupt president”, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

In 2006, Hanan alerted Martin Rodil, then working at the IMF, of money transfers from the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA to Iran, in violation of US sanctions. Hanan later founded Global Resources Solutions with Rodil, which offered security and financial intelligence.
Rodil is now "investigated" in the Kingdom of Spain for extorting Venezuelan officials: https://forbiddenstories.org/story-kill ... formation/
(https://archive.is/AivJo)


I've previously posted on Martin Rodil (including his association with Tal Hanan):

Rodil had been an intern at PDVSA, and used his connections to negotiate deals with rich Venezuelans to become informer to US law enforcement to destroy Venezuela. Rodil has helped to bring more than two dozen Venezuelans to the USA. In some cases, Rodil blackmails Venezuelans (helped by the US cops) by threatening with legal trouble in the USA.

Since the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, the population of Malta has continued to protest against the corrupt murderous politicians that run the country…
https://youtu.be/ObOzWH7TNPo


Because of these protests, Joseph Muscat was forced to resign as PM. Muscat has even been charged with taking bribes, corruption and money laundering in a hospital privatisation scandal that was already reported on by Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2015.
These charges are related to changing the management of 3 public hospitals to a private company, Vitals Global Healthcare, in 2015, in a deal worth at least €4 billion.

Muscat’s former chief of staff Keith Schembri and former minister Konrad Mizzi, have also been charged over this same scandal.
Malta’s deputy PM Chris Fearne and its former finance minister Edward Scicluna, who is now governor of Malta’s central bank, were also charged with fraud: https://www.theguardian.com/world/artic ... al-scandal


On 20 March 2015, Daphne first reported on the Malta Government’s deal with Oxley Capital Group (owned by Mark Pawley) to privatise 3 Malta’s state hospitals, and that representatives of the company, including the Pakistani-Canadian Ram Tumuluri, had visited Malta in January of that year.
The shell company Vitals Global Healthcare was later founded by the Oxley Capital Group, but we don’t know (in 2016) who the real owners are: https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2016/1 ... -gracious/

Muscat’s special adviser on health and hospitals, John Dalli, flew to Dubai (once again the UAE!) to negotiate the deal with subcontractors.
Vitals Global Healthcare subcontracted Shapoorji Pallonji in 2016 to build projects at the 3 Maltese hospitals: https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2016/0 ... s-work-go/

The multinational Shapoorji Pallonji Group is controlled by billionaire Pallonji Mistry and his Indian family.
Pallonji Mistry led the company’s expansion in the Middle East, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar.

Most of the Mistry family wealth comes from their large stake in Tata Sons Pvt. (of the Tata family once again…).
Pallonji Mistry’s son Cyrus became Tata Sons chairman but was fired in 2016, which triggered a years-long courtroom battle between 2 of India’s wealthiest families: https://gulfnews.com/business/markets/i ... 1.88894512


70% of Vitals was owned by Tumuluri, Pawley, and (the unknown) Ashok Rattehalli and Ambrish Gupta.
The remaining 30% of the ownership is a complete secret...

In November 2016, Vitals appoints Armin Ernst, the chief administrative officer of the Steward Medical Group, as its new CEO.
In December 2017, Vitals was sold to Steward Medical Group, the largest private healthcare provider in the US, which also takes over the management of the 3 Maltese hospitals.
Steward Medical Group is owned by Cerberus Capital Management of the New York billionaire Stephen Feinberg: https://lovinmalta.com/news/all-the-twi ... er-begins/
(https://archive.is/ICtAN)


In May 2018, President Trump selected Steve Feinberg to head the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.
Cerberus also owns DynCorp, one of the largest military contractors in the US. DynCorp was also involved in the UAE/Saudi led genocide of Yemen that killed more than 500,000 people.

The subsidiary of Cerberus, Tier 1, trained 4 of the 7 kill team members that murdered Khashoggi. Tier 1’s training of this elite Saudi squad began under the Obama administration, and continued at least into President Trump’s first year: https://theintercept.com/2021/06/24/kha ... ia-tier-1/


At the following link are some of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s biggest stories…
Caruana Galizia linked the Dubai company 17 Black to Joseph Muscat, Keith Schembri, Konrad Mizzi and former EU Commissioner John Dalli.
17 Black belonged to Yorgen Fenech, who has now been charged with Caruana Galizia’s murder.

Following reports that Fenech had profited off Enemalta’s 2015 purchase of a Montenegro wind farm, Mizzi was voted from Labour’s parliamentary group (this looks like an even bigger scandal than the hospital privatisation to Vitals…): https://lovinmalta.com/opinion/analysis ... developed/
(https://archive.is/5vxjF)

.

In February 2019, Joseph Muscat invited Fenech to his birthday party at Girgenti, where according to Yorgen Fenech discussed the Caruana Galizia murder, which was denied by Muscat.

Of course the formal disbanding of Cambridge Analytica and its parent organisation SCL Group didn’t stop the manipulation of public opinion.
One of the organisations that has continued these practices is PragerU.

PragerU recently got some negative attention for Trump’s ugly FBI director having a goodlooking, much younger girlfriend working for PragerU, which is somehow used for “evidence” that Israel ordered Kash Patel to bury the Epstein “client list” (don’t ask me to explain…): https://archive.is/41hkK


This is the “best” story I found on PragerU (short for Prager University). It gives an indication on the kind of propaganda it makes, including brainwashing school kids in Florida with right wing propaganda.
Strangely missing is Islamophobia and praising/defending Israel.
I think it’s strange that I actually agree with many of these “right wing conservative” opinions (at least in part)…

PragerU had an impressive revenue of $65.5 million in 2022 alone (up from $23.8 million in 2019).


PragerU spent most of its money for “independent contractors” on its manipulation campaigns through Facebook and Google (combined a cool $43.5 million in 2018-2022).
Of course Facebook played an important role in getting Trump elected in 2016 with Cambridge Analytica. And ALL the right wing media complain that both Facebook and Google are bias against right wing propaganda (this of course is another lie): https://newstracs.com/financial-highlig ... 023/08/21/


The Bradley foundation is one of the biggest funders of PragerU. Bradley has also financed initiatives to prevent Democrats from voting (some call this voter suppression…): viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2993


Adam Milstein is both a funder and board member of PragerU, and is also in control of Canary Mission, which orders the Trump administration on which “anti-Semites” to deport from the US.
Milstein with Sheldon and Miriam Adelson and Haim Saban also founded the “Maccabee Task Force Foundation” that donated $400,000 to PragerU in 2015-2019.
Maccabee Task Force also donated to the Act.IL troll farm: viewtopic.php?p=88153#p88153


At the following 2 links are some of the rich and famous involved in PragerU (their lists of funders is very different).
Prager University is named after Dennis Prager, an “Orthodox Jewish American conservative” political commentator and president of PragerU.

Major funders of PragerU include (many zionist or christian)
Dan and Farris Wilks: $6,550,000 (until 2015), fracking industry billionaires
Thirteen Foundation: $3,250,000 (2015-2018)

National Christian Foundation: $1,728,183 (2014-2020)

Greater Houston Community Foundation: $1,057,150 (2019-2020)
National Philanthropic Trust: $911,770 (2017-2020)

Sid and Carol Verdoorn Family Foundation: $275,000 (2015-2019)
TYL Foundation: $225,000 (2016-2018)
Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco the Peninsula Marin and Sonoma: $201,000 (2017-2018)
Raymond James Charitable Endowment Fund: $146,800 (2017-2020)
Jackson Howard Foundation: $97,500 (2018-2020)

Also interesting, with all the stories on climate change which is denied by PragerU, is that its large donors include 2 of the biggest investment funds in the world (that right wing conservatives accuse of being “woke”).
Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund: $4,292,207 (2016-2020)
Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program: $1,234,594 (2014-2020)

Presenters of PragerU include
Alan Dershowitz, the “famous” attorney friend of Jeffrey Epstein
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islamophobic political propagandist, was selected for the influential Belfer Center, 2015 Bradley Prize winner
Ben Shapiro, former Breitbart News columnist and founder of the Daily Wire
Candace Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA
Dinesh D'Souza, director of the 2000 Mules mockumentary

Jordan Peterson
Steven Crowder, host of “Louder with Crowder” and former contributor to Fox News
Tucker Carlson, the famous CIA-connected Putin supporter, formerly Fox News
