[kictanet] Cambridge Analytica and the Kenyan Elections

[Mutemi wa Kiama]

"Alfa Bank is a front for Russian intelligence. Along with Dimitry Firtash,
a Russian agent of influence, it owns Cambridge Analytica, the data
targeting company used by Trump’s campaign. It also owns SCL, the
propaganda company responsible for what has been termed “fake news” but was
actually real propaganda co-ordinated by Russian intelligence.

Cambridge Analytica and SCL use Facebook data they had no right to acquire,
illegally stolen by a Russian spy working at Cambridge, to build an
unbeatable target database of propaganda.

In the closing days of the election, the Russian state hacked into the
voter rolls of the United States. Russian intelligence did this in order
that they could provide this information to Alfa Bank in order to use
Cambridge Analytica’s targeting, and SCL’s propaganda, in order precisely
to target voters and tip them to Trump."
