How a Kid From Victoria May Become Trump's Worst Nightmare


If Donald Trump isn't disparaging something as "fake news" does that make it real?

Ordinarily Trump meets scandal head on, denouncing adversaries as liars and media outlets who run their stories as fake news.Yet, when it comes to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Trump seems to have dummied up.

Data wizard, Victoria's Chris Wylie, has turned out to be a whistleblower extraordinaire, a gift that just keeps on giving.




Wylie seems to be implicating a load of big names from Team Trump. Now he's brought Giuliani into the spotlight. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

The Republican National Committee (through CA's Jesse Kamzol), Bannon, the Mercer Twins (Robert and clone daughter), Giuliani, John Bolton, Trump himself (he supposedly met repeatedly with Alexander Nix). This seems to have the makings of a possible criminal enterprise spanning the breadth of the now dominant Trump branch of the Republican Party.

This is not a short story. It is more like a book with many chapters. We can't begin to guess who else will be snared in this web but I'll bet it will make for great reading.

And it does seem that we owe a big debt of gratitude to a young guy from Victoria.

I hope he has a body guard or a safe place to hide. He's stepping on some very powerful toes.

He's too high profile to be 'taken out'.
He is ,however, an easy target for his enemies.
Funky hair,gay and a missfit!
The msm right wing media will beat him to a pulp.

It sounds as though he's working with the British authorities. I would assume they're providing some degree of security. Otherwise he may be in for a lovely cup of Polonium tea.

Faux News and Sinclair hasn't mentioned Anal, not once.

BTW, Wylie says he doesn't think Zuckerberg is serious about making Facebook safe for his users. The problem is that he can't without destroying his profit. Zuckerberg makes money precisely because Facebook is so insecure.

Peter Thiel funded Anal, used Anal for his PAC, still sits on the FB Board,

Can someone please explain to me why this "Big Story" implicating "important political actors" has ZERO traction with the "Big News" players. I checked New York Times and Washington Post & others this AM. I could find not one mention!! Nary a word! About the only aspect of it to be covered that I have seen in the MSM so far is that Liberals used him first, to the tune of 100K! If this is indeed big news, why is it so toxic to the MSM??? Bewildered.

Mac, I don't know what to tell you other than that it has been widely covered in both papers you cite. They have this thing called a search engine, usually denoted by a magnifying glass. You perhaps should use that to clear up your misunderstanding.

BTW, microtargetting's not what Wylie did for the Libs.

The Mound of Sound said...


I take it, Jay, you're referring to the federal Libs.
