You're going to be hearing a lot about this in the coming weeks. It's convoluted as Hell, but I'm going to summarise as briefly as possible.
In a nutshell, Bannon used the libs own tools against them.
He literally usurped Faceplant and other leftist social media sites to drive opinion. In other words, he took the leftists tool and played it against them.
Yes, they're pissed, and it's why Mueller is continuing his investigation, the left is certain he must have used Russian bots to direct the narrative.
Thing is, they weren't necessary to achieve the goal of swaying the minds of millions of kids.

Anyway, the story is an interesting read, and I could go on for pages explaining it, or you could read it for yourself.
But what I find fascinating, was his use of gays. Enter Yianopolous, the gay Conservative.

What I find hilarious in all of this, is the Dims never saw it coming, they can't believe after decades of lying with their media, owning (TV, radio, advertising) that some Conservative could come in and literally hijack their own Psyops operation, enter Steve Bannon.

One other point in the article. They admit libs are stupid and vulnerable to manipulation. Though they don't come right out and say it, it is their gullibility that helped get Trump elected. :lol:

Ok...read the article.

This will be the lefts new attack point.   It does not read well for Trump.  It does make you question a lot of things.

I will withhold my ultimate judgement until we hear the other side of the story.

Of course it doesn't, and that was by design. This is a leftist hit piece, its fingerprints are all over it with half truths, as in, only telling you what they want you to hear.
For such a long article, half of it focused on the indignance of the interviewee. Fact is, he's a gay lib that "Feels" he turned on his own kind.
If they had the evidence they allude to, they would have made the connection, but the fact is, Bannon didn't need the Russians to accomplish his goals.

Truth is, the Russians had their own agenda, which will come out in the end, and was probably to make Putin look like the victimized good guy.
Of course, that's a guess, but we all know, the last thing Russia wanted was a Trump win, its already proven the Russians were working well with Hillary.

Q PATRIOT!!!

Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden ripped Facebook in a tweet Saturday after the social media giant suspended Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm which worked worked for President Trump's campaign.

Facebook accused the firm on Friday of not deleting data it had improperly harvested from Facebook users, which number in the tens of millions, but Snowden pinned the blame squarely on Facebook and lumped in other social media companies for being just as reckless.

"Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as 'surveillance companies,'" Snowden said. "Their rebranding as 'social media' is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense."

they're highly open to new ideas. And it just clicked all of a sudden."

Here was a way for the party to identify potential new voters. The only problem was that the Lib Dems weren't interested.

This will be next weeks narrative.
It sets the stage for the left to say, "See, Trump was colluding". This was released to time with Mueller taking on a new avenue in the investigation.
Just watch how the left spins this. I expect Trump to steal their thunder with some high profile arrests, completely knocking this shit off the front page.

Just watch, this will be a week the left will want to never revisit.

The kicker is that the Obama people did this even bigger, with FB's direct help, and it's fully documented.

So now it's not only an invasion of privacy, but it's basically all FB's fault.  First for willfully giving it away to the dems, then for being asleep with the door wide open when the GOP returned the favor.  And since FB made it all available for anybody to take, it's not a crime, or "a breach" as the dems / MSM have been squalling.

I guess having billions of users isn't such a great thing right about now.  The lawsuits will be staggering.  Hopefully enough to clear the decks of FB and open the playing field back up to a bunch of new start-ups.

Hopefully part of Trump's big production will include the exposure of the CIA's creation of FB with Zuckerberg.

Yep, as Q1 says, BOOM!
Faceplant had already been sued over the very same violation back in 2011. Under the 2011 settlement, Facebook agreed to get user consent for certain changes to privacy settings as part of a settlement of federal charges that it deceived consumers and forced them to share more personal information than they intended.

Facebook Inc., the world's biggest social networking site, agreed to settle complaints by the Federal Trade Commission that it failed to protect users' privacy or disclose how their data could be used.

Makes you wonder what the original convo was between CIA and Zuckerberg.

CIA guy disguised as Joe College - "Hey bud, what are you, a sophomore ? There are some guys here at school who are fooling around with a dating / 'rating chicks' website.  I know some people who can invest if you want to steal the idea.  Just give us full rights to every possible function / operation of the system.  They have enough money to build it, you could end up with several billion dollars.  We'll make sure it's a monopoly, and reaches every continent.  Maybe even lend you some of the best programmers, hardware guys, web experts on the planet."

19-Year-Old Zuckerberg - "yeh sure !"

T Hunt

So the libs are starting an investigation of facebook. Fools. This will backfire on them just as the mueller farce is. It will turn back on them, revealing more dim illegal scandals. Hopefully just in time for the midterms. Their own incompetance continues to be one of our greatest allies.

I would think so. You can't get more inside than the founder and code writer.
