  • Trump’s election consultants filmed saying they use bribes and sex workers to entrap

    Well if you thought the story about Cambridge Analytica's use of data from 50 million facebook accounts was not enough, here is even more information of the methods used by people who helped Trump to power.

    In an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News, the company’s chief executive Alexander Nix said the British firm secretly campaigns in elections across the world. This includes operating through a web of shadowy front companies, or by using sub-contractors.

    In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, Mr Nix said they could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house”, adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.

    In another he said: “We’ll offer a large amount of money to the candidate, to finance his campaign in exchange for land for instance, we’ll have the whole thing recorded, we’ll blank out the face of our guy and we post it on the Internet.”

    In fact Mr Nix has been fired as a consequence of the Facebook scandal and the revelations. Cambridge Analytica said:

    “In the view of the board, Mr Nix’s recent comments secretly recorded by Channel 4 and other allegations do not represent the values or operations of the firm and his suspension reflects the seriousness with which we view this violation.”

    It looks like there is more to come so stay tuned. This is going to be very interesting.

    Still no evidence that votes were changed.

        And you think that justifies the methods used? If only there is no evidence then feel free to use protitutes and all other sorts of dirty methods?

          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            I find it wholly unacceptable.

            Of course, if your candidate has the integrity to turn down bribes and prostitutes, then he has nothing to worry about regardless.

              Cambridge Analytics emphatically denies these allegations. Is there any evidence that anything this guy said is actually true? Any documents or corroborating witnesses? Or are we just supposed to take him at his word?

              As for gathering data from Facebook, the Obama campaign did the exact same thing with Facebook's blessing, so nothing to see there.

                  The Facebook stuff, yes, but not the hookers and bribes.

                  As it turns out, countless companies have been taking advantage of Facebook's lax security for years with Facebook remaining wilfully ignorant.

                    Ah, ok, I reread the story. It's confusingly written, so it looks like the salacious stuff is coming from one guy, but the others confirmed? I'm not sure.

                      Just about anything is justified when it comes to keeping liberals from grabbing any more power.
                      "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                      There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                          Isn't this where, if I were a liberal and this was about admitting to massive voter fraud or what employees from Planned Parenthood say and do, I should say it was all taken out of context, it's nothing but a right wing meme, or just ignore and deny? Give me a hand here, since I'm kinda new to how this is played.
