Just when you thought the forces of good had won....There's a new SCL or Cambridge Analytica clone in the UK called Emerdata with all the key figures

@WendySiegelman just noticed something BIG: there's a replacement for SCL Group/Cambridge Analytica already in the wings - new UK co has ex SCL CEO Alexander Nix, plus the Mercer daughters!

UPDATE: Emerdata Ltd created by SCL/Cambridge Analytica's Julian Wheatland, with Erik Prince's business partner Chun Shun Ko appointed director Jan '17 - just added Rebekah Mercer & Jennifer Mercer as directors, along w/Alexander Nix

9. Mercer klan - Erik Prince crowd.....

.... a dangerous group of Fascists who want nothing less than overthrow American Democracy. A Fascist Oligarchy is much more their cup of tea. An Authoritarian Dictator as head of state and aDominionist Theocracy as our functioning government. With the Old Testaments as our Supreme Religious Constitutional Doctrine and Bill of Rights bestowed to us by our creator in heaven - Almighty God.

Praise the Lord, load up the AK-15's, and pass the large capacity ammunition clips.

10. Data analytics is not a single-player game. There are hundreds of companies looking to optimize

marketing, advertising, and selling for all sorts of industries -- including politics -- or to assemble and sell data sets. Companies run these analyses on their employees. Free services -- email, social media, entertainment -- run them on their users. Websites like DU run them on their users. Data is gold. If the product you're using is free, you're the product. This isn't a "horse is out of the barn" issue. The barn was razed 10 years ago and the property has been developed to house enormous data servers. The horse is long dead.
