HERE'S the collusion - I'd forgotten about this [View all]

[RandomAccess]

If you watched Joy Reid this morning, you might have seen Malcolm Nance talking about how the Russians "hacked" our mental state. Can't remember his exact words, but he really spent a bit of time on how they'd gotten inside our heads and had clearly spent some time doing it.

I was just looking for some of my bookmarks showing 2013 activity and collusion and ran across this.

The so-called chief voice and troll for the Kremlin on Twitter laid out what appears to be a confession of Russia collusion just four days after President Donald Trumps election.

Kremlin propagandist Konstantin Rykov boasted on Facebook that he helped recruit Trump in 2012 to run for president as part of an effort to reshape the global order, reported the Washington Monthly.

What was our idea with Donald Trump? Rykov posted. For four years and two days .. it was necessary to get to everyone in the brain and grab all possible means of mass perception of reality. Ensure the victory of Donald in the election of the US President. Then create a political alliance between the United States, France, Russia (and a number of other states) and establish a new world order.

Rykov claimed Trump himself suggested using data firm Cambridge Analytica, which is under investigation in both the U.S. and Britain for its election activities, to micro-target persuadable voters on social media.
