SCL Social & Cambridge Analytica

In general I am in the habit of repeating myself, but it seems like I always do. I suppose it’s partly due to the fact I’m a snarky a-hole & persistent AF.  I’m also super bossy-pants but I am always wearing fancy pants. Or I’m just getting old and I can’t remember what I just said..One narrative I keep seeing and hearing over and over is Cambridge Analytica is out of Business. And listen if you want to believe that “narrative” that super  awesome. In fact I have a bridge for sale in Alaska that has the added bonus of you want “walk to Russia” versus just seeing Russia from Alaska. OMFG Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps giving

🚩SCL has many iterations of their Companies🚩

 

Thus far I’ve confirmed the following business entities in previous entries:

 

• SCL🚩
• SCL Group🚩
• SCL Social🚩
• SCL Social Limited🚩
• SCL Defense🚩
• SCL Analytica🚩
• SCL USA, Inc 🚩
• 🚫Cambridge Analytica.🚫

 

 

ALL. ONE. IN. THE.SAME.

politicians are struggling to thread  the needle by saying:

 

“my campaign never ever had any business with Cambridge Analytica”

 

What they fail to mention is they likely had or have a business/lobbying relationship with SCL or one of their irriterative businesses. For the sake of this blog entry, I’m going to walk you through various FARA filings. Hopefully with the following data & links to open source documents, you will ge able to see what appears to be a discernible pattern, that I see.

 

This  December 2016 Sydney Morning News Article, largely overlooked by the American MSM

 

SCL & Cambridge eye big move to Australia

‘Data science is not a panacea," Mr Nix said, contending that it is a powerful tool allowing a political campaign to boost a "really good candidate with clear, sound policies that are well articulated, that resonate with the electorate".

”Cambridge Analytica is a recently established offshoot of the SCL Group, a behavioural communications company that has operated in over 100 countries since the 1990s. As well as political and commercial campaigns, the company has worked extensively with governments on "psychological warfare" and the use of soft power in armed conflict.

“Clearly in countries like the United States, you pick a side and you back it," Mr Nix said. The company also worked for Republican contenders Ted Cruz and Ben Carson and was reportedly backed by Robert Mercer, a hedge fund billionaire and prolific conservative donor.‘

 

SCL Group FARA:

 

So let’s go head and drill down on Andreas & Associates, SCL Group’s various FARA filings, shall we? Again when you are attempting to search the Department of Justice FARA database I found the most efficient & reliable search parameter is focus on the one data that never changes. In the context of the FARA database  focus on the “uniquely” assigned FARA #.

see universal search for #6371 and YES SCL is CURRENTLY lobbying and placing social media ads.  Link Here

Supplemental Exhibits A & B

I refer you to page 4, where it’s discloed on March 20 & 21, 2017 Senator Jeff Sessions was contacted by emial -cough- FOIA that sh*t NOW...no really FOIA it.

I then refer you to page 7, where Representative Steve Scalise’s “Leadership Fund” received a (albeit small) $100 donation. Which is ironic. Pursuant to FEC Statutes donations <$100 do not require reporting. I mean hell if Romania & SCL are handing out cash.. I’d ask for >$1M without even batting an eye, go big or go home.  So this $100 donation to Scalise’s fund is a double bird salute. Supplemental FARA filing, here 

 

 

 

SCL USA & SCL Limited FARA#6473 – Client UAE 

 

Below is a screenshot of the various forms filed by SCL Social Limited. What caught my interest was who the client was, UAE=Anti-Qatar. Did you notice the dates? (-cough- after Kushner met with Qatar) #6473

 

 

 

The registrant is responsible for developing and: executing a global social media campaign on behalf of the foreign principal.

 

Part of that campaign included social media activity focused on NGO's, foreign diplomats, and certain reporters in New York City during the 72nd Regular Session ofthe United Nations General Assembly.

 

Please note: U.S. government officials and members ofthe general public may have.all been incidentally exposed to electronic corrrmunicattons disseminated by the registrant. However, the intended primary target audience includes NGO's, foreign diplomats, and certain reporters.

 

Like I said, this particular “campaign” was a Anti-Qatar campaign. Yet oddly Facebook and Twitter still have this page and ads up. You can download the filing to read the >$64K in ads placed on Facebook and Twitter.
