Self-styled whistleblower Christopher Wylie and The Guardian reporter Carole Cadwalladr earned film deals and flashy awards by blaming Brexit and Trump on a sweeping conspiracy between data firm Cambridge Analytica and Russia. A British government investigation shatters their claims to fame.

Two years after the stunning June 2016 passage of the Brexit referendum, affirming the British public's desire to withdraw from the European Union, and the equally unexpected November 2016 election of Donald Trump to the White House, a scandal erupted that seemed to explain these rogue right-wing victories as the handiwork of an especially devilish data-mining scheme.

In 2018, a hipster techie named Christopher Wylie emerged as a supposed whistleblower from the UK data firm SCL-Cambridge Analytica. Wylie claimed inside knowledge of how his former employer illicitly harvested the personal data of British and American voters through Facebook to conduct micro-targeting operations in favor of Brexit and Trump. Further, and most memorably, he asserted that "known Russian agents" were involved in the right-wing plot.

Gen Sir Nick Carter: 'I'm saying [major world conflict] is a risk and we need to be conscious of those risks.'
Thirty thousand "robot soldiers" could form an integral part of the British army in the 2030s, working alongside humans in and around the frontline, the head of the armed forces said in a television interview on Sunday.

Gen Sir Nick Carter said the armed forces needed "to think about how we measure effects in a different way" - and he called on the government to proceed with the previously promised five-year integrated defence review.

Speaking to Sky News on the morning of Remembrance Sunday, the chief of the defence staff suggested that "an armed forces that's designed for the 2030s" could include large numbers of autonomous or remotely controlled machines.

Comment: As we witness governments across the planet going rogue - in the West in particular - do we really want to empower them further with a robot army? At least, at this moment, there's always the hope that troops can choose conscience over orders. Should they be replaced by actual automatons then the future for citizens all over the world will be even bleaker than it already is:

Red-handed rigging: Biden's Texas political director accused of illegal ballot harvesting at Texas Supreme Court

Biden's Texas Political Director Dallas Jones
The Joe Biden campaign's Texas Political Director has been formally accused of helping to run an illegal ballot harvesting operation, according to two separate affidavits filed Monday at the Texas Supreme Court.

Two private investigators, including a former FBI agent and former police officer, testified under oath that they have video evidence, documentation and witnesses to prove that Biden's Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts are currently hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots and ordering operatives to fill the ballots out for people illegally, including for dead people, homeless people, and nursing home residents, in the 2020 presidential election.

The affidavits were filed as part of the class-action lawsuit against Harris County and the state of Texas, filed by citizens, called Steven Hotze, M.D. et al. Journalist Patrick Howley of NATIONAL FILE has exclusively obtained this testimony and much more evidence will be coming out in the case. Dallas Jones was named the Biden campaign's Texas Political Director in early September.

Comment: Lucrative ballot harvesting schemes have likely been in operation for many years. But according to the Democrats: 'no worries, no concerns...just move along folks...nothing to see here...'

And this comes just days after Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar's brother was caught red-handed in another ballot-harvesting scheme:

Chaos IS the plan

Choas is the Plan
© Corbett Report
Congratulations, Americans! The media that declares the winners of your (s)elections have reported that the voting machines that decide the winner of your (s)elections have (s)elected Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. to become the 46th President of the good ol' US of A in January! And in a longstanding tradition befitting of the nation that stands as the Beacon of Democracy and Leader of the Free World™, we know that the loyal slaves subjects citizens of the United States will dust themselves off, shake hands, compliment each other on a good contest and go back to business as usual, right?

No, of course not. Things are not going back to business as usual. They aren't meant to. That's the point.

Instead, we're about to get: No, today's pronouncement (which, lest we forget, will be challenged) is not the end of anything. It's just the beginning. And it does not present a path out of chaos. On the contrary. This path leads straight into the heart of chaos.

None of this is surprising. In fact, things are going exactly according to plan.

Confused? Don't be. I have a data dump of info for you.

Don't Fall For The Psyop! Biden's Not Officially The President-Elect, At Least Not Yet...

Flashback 2000
A massive psyop was launched across the world after the Mainstream Media's "projection" that Biden will become the President-Elect deceived average folks and foreign governments alike into thinking that the US' contentious 2020 presidential election has finally concluded, but the existing and forthcoming litigation from the Trump team might change the final tally in key battleground states, and in turn influence how the Electoral College votes in the middle of next month, since it's this institution - not the media or the popular vote - which legally decides the presidency, as per the Constitution.

Britain's government is exploiting fear to suit its actions, whether on Covid or terrorism

Anti-terror police on patrol at a station in central London.
The home secretary told me this week that I faced a terrorist threat that was "severe" and an incident that was "highly likely". I should be "alert", she said.

What is the difference between likely and highly likely? Should I fear to leave home? Should I run for my life if I see a man with a backpack? Priti Patel also tells me to be "not alarmed". So why does she try to scare me? Is she on the terrorists' side?

If I were able to ask the recent murderers in France and Austria what they hoped to gain, I know what they would say. They would want their blood-curdling killings to spread fear among the French and Austrians, to instil antipathy towards Muslims and inspire more acts of terror. Above all they would want their deeds publicised and politicised, to seem heroic to their kind. President Macron duly obliged. Now Patel has given them a bonus. She has offered to make Britons equally afraid.

Comment: Since the beginning of the manufactured crisis, The Guardian has been a willing government propaganda outlet. And so to see that The Guardian is now actually questioning the government narrative - as the press are obliged to do - is probably a sign that the tide has turned with enough people being able to see through the government's lies: What pandemic? Londoners ignore lockdown fearmongering and enjoy the weekend with takeaway drinks in the park

Alexey Navalny has accused the head of the Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of being a "simple idiot," after he indicated that the anti-corruption campaigner could have been poisoned by the West in a "sacrifice."


Comment: Navalny's the simple idiot for thinking he's not expendable.


Writing on Twitter, Navalny said he is "sad to see what Russian intelligence has become," attacking SVR chief Sergei Naryshkin.

In an interview published on Friday, Naryshkin told the Moscow-based news agency RIA Novosti that, about a year ago, NATO intelligence agencies discussed sacrificing a Russian opposition figure to revive anti-government demonstrations. According to the intelligence chief, the country's protest movement has "completely shrunk and is approaching zero."

Trump becomes top search result for 'loser', Biden for 'winner' on Twitter, as platform denies rigging algorithm

Twitter search results for winner/loser

Twitter users searching for the word "loser" on Saturday have been getting Donald Trump as their first result. The platform denied that this was intentional, saying that it's how its search tools work.

Trump began popping up as a "loser" in Twitter's "People" search tab after his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, declared victory in the US presidential election on Saturday. The Democratic candidate addressed the nation after several major television networks called the battleground state of Pennsylvania for the 77-year-old, which put him beyond the threshold of 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

Biden's Twitter handle has become the top search result for "winner" on the platform.

Legacy Ziomedia declares victory


The Saker

rudy giuliani press conference philidelphia
In a closely coordinated move, the Dems and their legacy Ziomedia have declared Biden the victor of the presidential race. Likewise, the main US TV channels have cut off Trump during a White House press conference.

Before all the votes are counted and before the courts could decide which votes count or not. In simple legal terms, this election is not over.

But we know that Dems don't give a hoot about facts or the law.

Comment: More from the Saker:
This is absolutely amazing: the EU leaders follow the Ziomedia and declare Biden the winner!!
November 07, 2020

Dear friends,

When I saw this I could not believe my eyes: "European leaders congratulate Joe Biden, after media count declares him victorious in US presidential election".

This is truly unheard of: foreign leaders declare a winner in a US election even BEFORE the vote count has been certified by US courts!!! Talk about "interference in US elections" - this really takes the prize!

Yeah, I know, these EU knuckleheads also declared Guaido and Tikhanovskaia had won. But let's be realists here: it is one thing to declare some victor in small and extremely weak countries, and quite another to do that with the supposed Sole Hyperpower and Planetary Hegemon.

Wow! Just wow!

We have to wonder what the point of these declarations are and I think the answer is obvious: put the maximal pressure on USSC Justices to accept the fait accompli (which, of course, is neither a fait, nor is is accompli, but nevermind that!).

Just the fact that the US Deep State has the power to force the EU leaders into that kind of blatant intervention is the best proof that there are no real democracies in the West - all we are dealing with is a transnational plutocracy.

Bottom line: the struggle for the liberation of the West from this gang of corrupt megalomaniacs is now on. Yes, right now the resistance in the West looks very week, poorly organized and even very corrupt (just think of how corrupt the GOP is!). But those who are familiar with Hegelian dialectical analyses will immediately see that this is an unstable situation which cannot and will not last.
