quote [ There are three strands to this story. How the foundations of an authoritarian surveillance state are being laid in the US. How British democracy was subverted through a covert, far-reaching plan of coordination enabled by a US billionaire. And how we are in the midst of a massive land grab for power by billionaires via our data. Data which is being silently amassed, harvested and stored. Whoever owns this data owns the future. ]

Yep, the Mercers again- a particularly dangerous and effective double-whammy of big money and big data subverting democracy for the very worst possible motives (of course). Covered extensively in this post.
I particularly recommend the New Yorker profile by Jane Mayer, author of the steele-endorsed 'Dark Money'. She also wrote the piece several years ago that originally brought the Koch brothers into the spotlight. |

I don't want to read it. It'll only depress me.
