It wasn't the Russians.

Look behind the curtain of power and see conservative billionaire Robert Mercer and Steve Bannon founders of Cambridge Analytica - the company responsible for propagandizing voters during the last election. The Facebook ads targeted undecided voters via data analytics obtained, without consent, from Facebook. It wasn't the Russians it was US!

To learn more, watch the new documentary film: THE GREAT HACK (Netflix).

"Directors Amer and Noujiam Kaiser say "the systems social media enabled and the firm relied on to influence democratic elections constitute "weapons grade" technology.

"Directors Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim meticulously detail Cambridge Analytica's role in the US presidential election and Brexit votes, being led through the process by Carroll, Guardian journalists and former employees turned whistleblowers Christopher Wylie and Brittany Kaiser.
Wylie shows how Cambridge was able to create a "full-service propaganda machine." In a leaked sales presentation, executives pitch the company as s a "behavior-change agency" -- offering "the holy grail of communications" by promising to move the needle among those who fall into the persuadable category.

The Trump campaign had tested the RNC data, and it proved to be vastly more accurate than Cambridge Analytica's, and when it was clear the RNC would be a willing partner, Mr. Trump's campaign was able to rely solely on the RNC.

Hmm. There is *NO* denying the masive operations the Russians ran. And you're aso ignoring the operations run by the Israelis, by Venezueala, by...a number of other countries.

But this is also ignoring the DNC hack carried out by the Russians and widely disseminated by Julian Assange / Wikileaks who despite his may, many....many flaws seems to be a hero to many here.

But all this ignores the fact that that (other than Bernie) the tipping point of the election was Comeys re-opening of the case about Clintons use of private servers just before the election.
