Cambridge Analytica Data Guru: "I Tried to Team Up With Julian Assange"

Alexander Nix, who heads a controversial data-analytics firm that worked for President Donald Trump’s campaign, wrote in an email last year that he reached out to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about Hillary Clinton’s missing 33,000 emails.

Nix, who heads Cambridge Analytica, told a third party that he reached out to Assange about his firm somehow helping the WikiLeaks editor release Clinton’s missing emails, according to two sources familiar with a congressional investigation into interactions between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Those sources also relayed that, according to Nix’s email, Assange told the Cambridge Analytica CEO that he didn’t want his help, and preferred to do the work on his own.
Mr. Assange has confirmed to The Daily Beast that he rejected Cambridge Analytica’s help.

...........

After publication, Assange provided this statement to The Daily Beast: ”We can confirm an approach by Cambridge Analytica and can confirm that it was rejected by WikiLeaks.”

Cate Blanchett Slams Steve Bannon To Make An Excellent Point About Feminism

And she did it while encouraging women to wear whatever they want.



During her acceptance speech, the Oscar winner made a humorous comparison in order to make a stellar point about the way women present themselves.

“Women like looking sexy, but it doesn’t mean we want to fuck you,” Blanchett said at the awards show, per InStyle. “No one says to Steve Bannon,‘You look like a bag of trash. Do you want me to throw you out?’”

THE Empty Barrel:

October 25, 2017

Sorry to spoil your morning mr. trump:

President Donald Trump enjoys far stronger support among members of the military than the American public at large, according to the latest scientific Military Times poll.

Yet while Trump is especially popular among enlisted troops, officers have a much lower opinion of him.

And women and minorities in the ranks share similar skepticism.

BUSTED: Rachel Maddow reports that State Dept lied and faked photo of Tillerson in Afghanistan

Rachel Maddow opened her Tuesday show with the news, which was reported by the BBC after observers noticed discrepancies in different version of the photo — which was actually taken at a U.S. military installation.

“The State Department initially tried to get away with saying that this meeting between Rex Tillerson on the left and Ashraf Ghani on the right,” Maddow said, “took place in the capital city of Kabul. It did not. They did not meet in Kabul. They met, rather, inside the perimeter of a U.S. military base at Bagram.”

“The problem is that the meeting was not in Kabul, but in a windowless room in Bagram, the heavily fortified American military base a 90-minute drive away,” said The New York Times. “The misinformation, apparently meant to obscure the true venue, was betrayed by discrepancies in similar photographs released by the Americans and the Afghans.”

The State Department issued a correction on Tuesday, admitting it had faked the photo and lied about the meeting’s location and about Kabul being safe enough for the U.S. Secretary of State to openly visit.
