The power players behind Cambridge Analytica have set up a new company – and the daughters of Donald Trump-supporting billionaire Robert Mercer have just joined as directors.
Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer joined Emerdata on March 16, but it is shrouded in mystery.
Alexander Nix, the suspended CEO of Cambridge Analytica, is also a director, as well as other executives from parent firm SCL Group.
Emerdata also lists Johnson Chun Shun Ko, a Chinese executive from Frontier Services Group, the military firm chaired by prominent Trump supporter Erik Prince.
Cambridge Analytica is under scrutiny for the role it played in the US election after The Observer revealed the firm had illegitimately hoovered up Facebook user data.
Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer, daughters of hedge fund tycoon Robert Mercer, have just joined the board of a mysterious new company set up by executives at scandal-hit political research firm Cambridge Analytica.

According to public filings at Britain’s Companies House, Emerdata was incorporated in August 2017 and the Mercers were appointed to its board on March 16 this year.

1. Leveling their facilities with missiles would not be hash enough

This is a threat to the world as great as any we've seen since Hitler.

2. Hail Hydra.

4. Where's Shield when you need them?

8. I know, right? At the very least, Agent May could help Mueller with his interviews.

9. She kicks ass.

3. Enough money can buy countries

6. How the fuck did these numbskulls ever manage to make this shit happen?

7. Money and NDAs I suppose. Hire sociopathic geek types in it for money. -nt

10. CA didn't 'hoover up' the data, they were 'given' the data by an Associate Prof. of St. Petersburg U

niversity (Russia), who as a researcher there was funded by RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT GRANTS to study Social Networks!!!

And who was NOT AUTHORIZED to share that data outside Academia.

Tell the FUCKING STORY RIGHT YOU STUPID F***S in the MEDIA.

So fucking sick of this bullshit soft-peddling.

[suffragette]

11. I had a feeling a link with Erik Prince would come out. Fits in with the other former spy agency

types they bragged about using in the undercover video.

So Nix and his crew were already moving on to a different venture a short while before the info about CA was exposed.

Hmmm.

12. Where the rats go when the ship starts taking on water... n/t

13. I think the microscope is trained on these people and organizations

I believe that every move (legal or not) will be investigated and reported.

What we need is a world-wide will to do something about the parasites that are killing humanity and democracy just because they have a bit of wealth and want a whole lot more.

Make sure we can keep the internet open and what independent reporters that still exist, that these reporters can continue to get the information out - unfiltered.
