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. SSDD.

The only thing changing is the name, the stealing elections will continue with the same people doing the same thing as CA.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Absent vote flipping or miscounting on election day, and that does occur, they cant steal

a cup of coffee, let alone an election, without the help of willing piles of human dung, aka trumpers, deplorables, etc.

[lark]

7. Umm, think they have more power than that through deliberately hacking the voting machine tallies.

They can remove tons of potential Dem votes, they can hack the vote and add more repugs than there are people in the district (as was done in WI). They can remove a certain percentage of Dem votes for president as they did in MI and FL where the undervotes for president in Dem districts was astounding and unprecedented. They, with Russia did all of these last time and could do even lots more this time since they got away with it last time.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Yes, I know they did that and will do that. Most people dont believe they did that

though so I usually try and underplay it.

Even many good liberals still cant believe votes were flipped or whatever on election day.

Myself I knew it the instant I saw the results, way more of us than them.

What I meant was without support to steal, we could stop the stealing.

10. Its the undervote

Remember how hard the Trump lawyers worked to stop the Michigan recount before they got to the areas of Detroit where supposedly 75,000 people waited in really long lines to vote, and then didn’t cast a vote for President. Doesn’t pass the smell teat.

[lark]

11. Yes, that is one of the 2 main ways they've hacked the votes to date.

about what russia/repugs have planned this time when they will need much more work to steal this election of motivated voters.

2. Sounds like it's time for another Channel 4 documentary.

These crooks won't stop until they are in jail.

[Nitram]

3. Sounds like they are jumping a sinking ship and getting aboard a brand new one without a pause

in their nefarious use of personal data to fix elections and influence behavior for tyrants.

5. What the heck is the DeVos family doing with Chinese security company? National security issue?

Did DeVos properly disclose it on her disclosure forms?

[OhNo-Really]

14. Eric Prince is Dr Evil

Eric Prince is a idealogical mercenary.

Research his name and China. His mercenary outfit is building training centers for the Chinese.

His name and Bank of America.

His name and Chertoff.

6. Appears to be related to Erik Prince and a Chinese security firm

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/21/cambridge-analytica-links-erik-prince-blackwater-f/

LONDON (AP) — Company filings show that Trump-affiliated data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica has a link to a Chinese security and logistics company run by Erik Prince, the former mercenary who founded private military company Blackwater.

British corporate records show that Alexander Nix, the suspended chief executive of Cambridge Analytica, is also director of a company called Emerdata Ltd. that was incorporated in August 2017.

Other Emerdata directors include people associated with Cambridge Analytica, along with Johnson Ko Chun Shun, who was appointed in January.

Ko is also deputy chairman of Hong Kong-based Frontier Services Group, whose chairman is Prince.

FSG has attracted attention because of concerns Prince plans to provide special forces veterans to assist Chinese companies investing in risky locations overseas.

China’s biggest state-owned company, Citic, is a major FSG shareholder.

9. Cambridge Analytica has been compromised so...

they'll dump it, grab all the data and start again in a new, uncompromised copy of the same thing.

There's something intensely wrong about all this.

12. moving to different shell co's. Thats what all the professional criminals do. -nt

[the_sly_pig]

13. It makes perfect sense....

if your purpose is to destroy the government of the United States. I get that our government is not innocent, but I believe for a number of reasons, that it is a shining example for nations around the world to emulate.

I believe our Constitution and its tenets is one of the very few obstacles preventing a shadow, global oligarchy.

I view vastly disproportionate wealth distribution, the decimation of unions, the attacks on civil liberties, the defunding of education, the brain drain of public agencies, Citizens United and religious conflicts as evidence of a serious attempt to destroy our Constitution and thereby our global leadership.

Additionally, Brexit removed any hope of a strong European Union to replace our leadership in the world.

Of course I could be wrong, but I don’t believe so. If it looks like a duck.....
