Alfa Bank, Trump Tower and a Social Media Impeachment
April 1, 2017 ~ patribotics
Here is my theory of how Donald Trump will be impeached, and scores of people around him jailed.
It wasnt just money laundering it was data laundering.
My theory is based on public reporting, to which I will link in the text. Here it is:
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 Trumps 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.

Will Donald Trumps Data-Analytics Company Allow Russia to Access Research on U.S. Citizens?

Many articles have reported that the U.S. billionaire Robert Mercer is the owner of Cambridge, but some basic Googling would have shown that this isnt true. The Daily Beast got it right; Cambridge Analyticas press releases refer to it as the U.S. subsidiary of SCL Group. But the relationship between Cambridge Analytica and SCL is far from easy to decipher.

(14,167 posts)It all fits. It explains the razor-thin margin of victory in Michigan. It also explains the purpose for hacking the voter rolls and how they knew where to hack and target their propaganda of "fake news." I wonder who the "go between" to Wikileaks is.
Interesting that she thinks he will be impeached. I still don't think the Republicans will do it. Perhaps after the midterms when the Democrats regain Congress.

(32,771 posts)When asked about a week ago how do we get rid of drumpf. Her comment "I think he will get himself out of this."
This unfolding growing by the day scandal will not be able to be contained. Impeachment, maybe more likely resignation. The repubs like to think they are holding all the cards.... just like the repeal of the ACA... no they are not. He will not be able to hold on and the pubs will not be able to save him
many a good man
(5,997 posts)Like "illegally stolen" Facebook data. Both FB and Twitter make available all the posts available for ingestion to anyone who has an account. I don't see any reason to steal.
The other things is about using the Trump server to funnel hacked state election data to Alfa Bank. That would be stupid. There are lots of smarter ways to transmit hacked data. You would want to transmit the data in such a way that it is near impossible to trace.
I'm more prone to believe the Trump server was likely used for transferring financial data to help pay for all the cyber operations.
The rest of her theory makes sense so I'm not sure why she would want to sensationalize parts of it.
