Flynn may have helped get Cambridge Analytica/"Project Alamo" into State Dept
Full of info about how Flynn may have played a part in getting CA's parent company into the US government...applying same data gathering/sharing techniques as Kushner's Project Alamo.
Found the article link on Twitter. I went to the actual website and copied the link, don't know why the link here looks odd...may have to just copy it to your browser. Sorry!

So the government buys Facebook ads using standard/enhanced Facebook-provided demographic targeting options, just like Trump’s Project Alamo platoon did when they partnered with Cambridge Analytica, to the point where a Facebook employee was cited as the campaign’s “MVP” by the RNC’s data team lead. Gotcha. Well, at least when Lumpkin spoke in November 2016, he wasn’t wishing for the ability to match online profiles to geolocated humans on foreign and domestic soil:
“By definition the World Wide Web is worldwide. There is no passport that goes with it. If it’s a Tunisian citizen in the United States or a U.S. citizen in Tunisia, I don’t have the ability to discern that. Therefore, I have trouble grabbing that personally identifiable information,” Lumpkin said. “If I had more ability to work with that [personally identifiable information] and had access…I could do more targeting, more definitively, to make sure I could hit the right message to the right audience at the right time.”
OK. Crap. Well at least they didn’t add on a secret 10th item to the GEC charter in the NDAA — after the bill was released for public viewing but before finalizing it into law — making it strangely ambiguous as to whether or not it is suddenly legal to compile data on and propagandize to American citizens on American soil! Thank goodness for small favors!
(10) Maintain, collect, use, and disseminate records (as such term is defined in section 552a(a)(4) of title 5, United States Code) for research and data analysis of foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts and communications related to public diplomacy efforts intended for foreign audiences. Such research and data analysis shall be reasonably tailored to meet the purposes of this paragraph and shall be carried out with due regard for privacy and civil liberties guidance and oversight.
5 U.S. Code § 552a — Records maintained on individuals
(a) Definitions. — For purposes of this section —
(1) the term “agency” means agency as defined in section 552(e) [1] of this title;
(2) the term “individual” means a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence;
(3) the term “maintain” includes maintain, collect, use, or disseminate;
(4) the term “record” means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not limited to, his education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history and that contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a finger or voice print or a photograph.
Uhhhmmmm.
So thanks to Mike “Turk-182” Flynn, now UK’s SCL Group will partner with “Rushin’” Rex Tillerson’s GEC as they “collect and store examples in print, online, and social media, disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda directed at the United States and its allies and partners,” in order to “maintain, collect, use, and disseminate records for research and data analysis,” wherein “the term ‘record’ means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual,” and where “the term ‘individual’ means a citizen of the United States”?

super easy...paste the link into the box, click with mouse and a very small link shows up.
If people ask what the link means, you can explain it to them, but I use it a lot and people here seem to know what it is for.
