Louise Mensch: Theory: Alfa server passed hacked US voter roll info to PutinRF; he helped Trump use

Theory: Alfa server passed hacked US voter roll info to @PutinRF; he helped Trump use data to win

Theory: FISA was not just about money laundering - it was also about "data laundering". Trump knew.

Theory: Alfa Bank and Paul Manafort used Russia hacks of voter rolls to target Michigan with propaganda. Trump knew

Theory: Alfa Bank owns Cambridge Analytica's parent; its server was passing voter roll data to and from Russia

Oct 7th: IC: voter rolls hacked Oct 15th: FISA granted. Theory: Trump worked w @putinrf to target hacked Americans


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 wasn’t 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 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.

Lots more to the story here: https://patribotics.blog/2017/04/01/alfa-bank-trump-tower-and-a-social-media-impeachment/

brains mushed now, but also saw earlier, via Jester tweet (which I think I saw on LM'S as well) - Steve Bannon's financials:

Laying out the ties between Trump and gang, CA, various shady Russians and Alfa Bank.

Will Donald Trump’s 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 isn’t true. The Daily Beast got it right; Cambridge Analytica’s 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.

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.

We all have to pull together on this or we won't have much of a Republic left.

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

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.
