An overarching theory of Russia's attack on America and the West.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Source: Patribotics

Is it really worth chronicling the rest of the match? You, Mr. Putin, have relied on big data and on propaganda, including an army of trolls. It is plain to UK intelligence that you have a Russian spy ring at Cambridge University; that you may have combed through and stolen, illegally in the EU, the Facebook data of hundreds of millions of Americans; that you use propagandists SCR and combined GSR and SCR to form Cambridge Analytica; and that you used Twitters database to create a bot army.

Its plain from both money and propaganda that Steve Bannon is your tool, your agent of influence; that you work through Nigel Farage and so on; that RT and Sputnik are not merely spy centers, but money-laundering tools; and that you have used Big data of Cambridge Analytica (personality types plus propaganda from SCR) to poison the minds of Americans and indeed voters across the West. You have your hackers sitting on 4 Chan, where the prank on the Brexit petition involved Russian server addresses.

This is an interesting theory. But it makes sense. Watch the attacks that come out about the author. They may give you a clue how extensive the Russian cyber operations extend.

This seems to be taking an awfully long time, but I'm guessing they want to have all their ducks in a row and we're going to hear eventually. At least I sure hope so! Until then, it's need-to-know only, just my guess... And, reading through, this is some scary stuff!
