Those are the headlines coming up next on fair game stay with us. The election of the 45th president of the United States raises ethical and potentially legal question. Today Mainstream Media can easily be disrupted and personal online data easily accessed. How can this information be used to sway the outcome off an election. And can it undermine the basic tenets of democracy that are so cherished. I think if americans knew this was happening they would be outraged. We just werent mentally able at that point in time to see that coming. This is democracy taking place in darkness its not democracy. I look presenting the facts plainly and hottest. Staten islands new york. In a state thats considered a stronghold for democrats this suburb is an exception. Most of the people here voted for donald trump. Scott libido lives here patriots artists and a big supporter of the president s. Use unconventional. I am unconventional i mean new york city artist im selling for 45. 00 because hes the 45th president is a new sheriff in town knows were going to were going to clean house we can kick some ass did you need the media to win an election when a state that it was stacked against him you know its always stacked against a republican no matter who won its the media is like that and just like that than that and we hate you know the extent the obvious its like you put on you know c. N. N. Knows the psych alright alright alright alright but ill flip around and its like holy. You know its and this and b c and its like relentless they cant stand bad he beat them because they said he wasnt going to win fed up with traditional media gets his information on the internet its you know ill spend like analogus said before i go to sleep ill have my phone on and you know ill go from this to that and then all chant made a speech i didnt hear it today let me hear it now and i mean and sometimes its i dont even honestly i dont look like whos giving it. Like millions across America Scott believed most of what he saw on the web with little question. For example this article trump believes millions voted illegally. Or this one that Hillary Clinton received over 800000 illegal votes. Im not saying all 3000000 but im sure a lot of them are absolutely you should not be able to vote if you are an elite if youre not a legal citizen thats im sorry but thats works and then they want to change that like no thats not how it works. This information is of course false it would be nearly impossible for Illegal Immigrants to vote in the United States articles like the news are examples of what is now called fake news. Scott is far from being the only one to refer to these sources. Breitbart news is one such source known for its misleading stories. On breitbart we can trying to articles like this does feminism make women ugly. Or this would you rather your child had feminism or cancer. Breitbart is also obsessed with the west versus islam is the new cold war. Or Political Correctness protects muslim culture. Its content has been called missile genetic xenophobic and racist by liberals and conservatives alike. Breitbart as you know its a its a right wing media outlet that was founded by the late Andrew Breitbart a conservative activist and commentator and journalist. Breitbart is a real french publication its a representative of what they call the old right you know people who want to take on the step. As quote politics but do so in a very divisive way there they rail against immigrants to this country they rail against people of muslim faith they you know devote use taxes to divide people on the basis of gender on the basis of race. Breitbart became a main source of information for the american far right its the sensually served as an organ for sort of the trap of men. The worldview projected by breitbart was in line with Donald Trumps and it touched a nerve with his outlook towards. People wanted to describe the trump voters as angry im not sure they were angry i think they were more fearful worried concerned scared about about the future in the spring of 2016 if we looked at the people who were voting in republican primaries these people were very concerned about terrorism very concerned about immigration they they saw the 2 of them working together as creating a threat annex almost an existential threat to the to the United States and this was something that was being spoken about by donald trump and not necessarily by other of republican candidates these concerns were heightened as trump played to existing anxieties. Ted division has been in politics for 40 years for him it would be a mistake to think that fake news has no impact on american alec toro behavior heres whats happening in our politics people are consuming information entirely different ways that we used to you know when i started doing president ial campaigns when jimmy carter you know his in office i mean we turn on the news at 630 at night and wed watch 3 networks at once and that was the way america. Essentially consume news now there is a constant flood of information both on television in the cable environment and particularly online you know the that online consumption of information is having a real effect on things because whats happening is the legitimate media is being supplanted by you know this fake news where people get information which sounds like its real and true but has no basis in fact and in fact much of it is just made up and delivered you know by people who are attempting to you know affect the outcome in the election by introducing false narrative and information into the flow of information so you know so yeah i think it does have a real impact. Like of regard for the truth became more apparent than in any other us president ial campaign. According to politico fact an independent Fact Checking websites only 4 percent of donald trump statements during the campaign were true false information was constantly circulating in fact it became selfpropagating you have to look at our media landscape and how americans get their news nowadays conservatives get their news only from fox news or alternative sites like breitbart so thats the only news they see and they view the manged what they call the liberal media the Mainstream Media with distrust and they dont believe the kind of c. N. N. New York Times Washington post so they are only getting their news or large most of their news from very slanted sources and so. What trump will say trump picks up his information from the same news sources these voters hear something Conspiracy Theory and Breitbart News or something on fox trump hears it too says it in the viruss eye for eye for a die hard on the news and i heard that from President Trump so he must be telling the truth if theyre in a silo and its really hard to break that silence so its a self reinforcing cycle of mr. It became more difficult to discern fact from fiction and the Traditional Press was brushed aside sort of a way that these campaigns of you know traditionally been covered and. And that model of Campaign Coverage was not sort of created with donald trump in my hand trumps disregard for making true statements is something that a lot of reporters have had trouble dealing with as were not used to it were not used to politicians or press people just sort of straight out lying the Mainstream Media is disrupted and because the Mainstream Media is disrupted truth is disrupted and if truth is disrupted you can just spread your own version of that. I dont know that corruption has reached a level like never 2 ever before in our country. 8383 will serve boulevard and address among the most prestigious offices in los angeles behind these windows at number 1000 are a few companies that would seem to have no connection. The 1st is break news regarded as a platform for the socalled ultra right. The 2nd is glittering steel its a small audio visual Production Company and these companies are linked to a billionaire whos rarely in the public eye. His name Robert Mercer. He is co c. E. O. Of a Hedge Fund Firm Renaissance Technologies whose ranks hes been climbing since 1993. Carol cadwallader has been investigating this computer engineer turned billionaire robot. He is an absolutely brilliant scientist. Really pioneering work. In the sixtys. And in the field of natural language processing which is the base of ai basically and he was there right at the start of it and working out how to do my Machine Translation between languages so that google translates which we use all the time that is a descendent of the work that he did you know he is without doubt one of the brilliant computer engineers of his generation and he was just an ordinary middle class god i am doing a professional job and he got an offer from renascence technologies this hedge fund to go with them and he did. It was in the early ninetys that Robert Mercer left i. B. M. To work for run a song technologies. There he applied his methods of calculation on the Stock Exchange in order to predict its fluctuations. At relaxants technologies he pioneered Algorithmic Trading which now is you know a massive field written sources source something which still remains a bit secret about tarzan make profit in markets but the origin of it is in applying for unst computer techniques to the data without worrying about fear of where the economy is going or what are the actual meaning of instruments or trading if youre buying wheat sutures or if youre buying a car company. You dont really care that its a car company or that its wheat you just look at the performance of these futures or these stocks and the key thing was to view this just as a set of numbers by applying his mathematical tool. Robert mercer revolutionized Renaissance Technologies investment methods making it the worlds most Profitable Fund into a new years. Message became very rich. Because the performance of the fund which he had his own money and. It was extraordinary i mean if it goes up 30 percent 35 percent every year then pretty quickly you become very rich. Robert mercer is known to be very private he almost never speaks publicly. Even google has a difficult time producing photos of the few that exist are always the same. There is also a poor quality video a public speech in 2014 during a ceremony in his honor. Found out after ike this im sure ill accept this award but i would have to make it all right on some topic or other for an hour now which by the way is more than i typically talk and in a month. Robert mercer might have quietly enjoyed his new fortune but he decided to invest in politics. Hes been recognized as one of the most generous republican donors since 2010. Merces donations appear to be motivated by his own special interests. The political system in america is so broken right now because of the special interest money which floods campaigns i mean what happens is when the special interests have an agenda if youre annoyed company for example and youd like to continue you know drilling for fossil fuel you know or your polluter and you want to make sure you can continue to pollute you go in you support politicians who believe in your agenda politicians who will say for example that you know Climate Change is not happening because of bad made activities you know they will they will promote that publicly because that protects the special interests who fund their campaigns. Robert mercer set up his own foundation. The Mercer Family foundation. Headed by his daughter rebecca. But what exactly are these special interests hes protecting. Its hard to say since Robert Mercer never expresses his opinions publicly anyway youll never know whats going on in private this is brian said just look thats what hes funding for all of the money that way and i think that kind of builds of a picture. To understand the ideas that Robert Mercer wants to promote we can. Look at where hes been spending we can do so with tax documents declarations of the foundations fiscal allocations for the years 2012 to 2015 mercer financed a number of institutes and lobbies among them the Heritage Foundation which fights taxes and economic regulation 1500000. 00 the Media Research center which fights leftist media bias 12000000. 00 the Government Accountability institute which tracks government corruption and publishes books against Hillary Clinton 3. 7 1000000. 00 the Heartland Institute which defends Climate Change skeptics 2800000. 00. In new york he even paid for an ad denouncing the construction of a mosque near ground 0 in just 2 years Robert Mercer became one of the 10 most influential billionaires in politics according to the washington posts. In 2011 Breitbart News the right wing online newspaper was in financial difficulty. Mercer saw an opportunity and he invested 10000000. 00 in the web site. The executive chairman of breitbart was a prominent figure closely linked to Trumps Campaign Stephen Bannon. A former Goldman Sachs trader he became a hollywood producer in the late 1990 s. He wanted to make films and t. V. Series to promote his ultra conservative political views. Mercer and bad and are very closely associated and by mercer associating himself with somebody like steve better that maybe that may be a clue it is interpret merces personal views. In a few much. Its a ban and made breitbart an outlet dedicated to reactionary ideas. You see that with the breitbart publications over the course of many years it was someone like bannon who just proclaims this publicly that theyre going to take on these institutions and theyre going to try to deconstruct the government of the United States to pursue the agenda that they have which is to you know fundamentally change this nation and turn it into you know a place where people experience a level of division that i dont think weve seen since you know going back to the civil war. Robert mercer had built a political media network. To promote his ideas he was only missing one thing i can did it. In 2015 he began by supporting texas senator ted cruz a figurehead of the american far right. But after donald trump surprise victory in the republican primaries he placed his bet on trump. Robert mercer created a pro Trump Political Action Committee called make america number one endowed with 15000000 dollars his role in Trumps Campaign quickly expanded. In july 26th seen a dinner was held in a hotel in new york. It brings together among others Rebecca Roberts mercers daughter and donald trump the dinner resulted in key campaign changes. Trumps Campaign Manager was replaced. The chair of making america number one Rebecca Mercer whose family also fund the super pac. Was able to influence the Trump Campaign to hire Stephen Bannon as campaign c. E. O. Steve benen became Donald Trumps campaign director. Kellyanne conway who headed the merced. Political Action Committee for ted cruz became number 2. David bossie a Mercer Family stalwart became number 3. Robert mercer has assembled team was in place. Bannon basi and conaway would from this point forward steer the republican candidate strategy. When the merc versus decide to support a candidate they expect the candidate to be responsive to their needs both in terms of how the candidate runs their campaign it also also after if the kid is successful and there are and they are elected as an Office Holder its reasonable to presume that the mercers expect that the Office Holder will be responsive to the mercers needs needs as well and their policy preferences. Robert mercer his plan was proving to be successful. But a mistake was made that made Steve Bannons role controversial. Heres what was discovered by looking at Donald Trumps official Campaign Books each of these lines corresponds to an expense during his 5 month tenure there was no trace of payments for steve bannon. But when we look at the payments made by Robert Mercer as Political Action committee one name appears several times. Glittering steel a video Production Company. In total the Company Received 302500. 00 from the committee in 5 months the company is run by steve bannon. That would mean that his work for trumps official campaign might have been paid via glittering steel which would be Illegal Campaign financing. The Campaign Legal center decided to file a complaint. And. Steve bannon faced a fine and an investigation by the justice department. We believe or we think its possible that the super pac make america number one was subsidizing Stephen Bannons work for the Trump Campaign by making payments abandoned through glittering steel at all see this consulting firms last movie Production Company located in california at the same address and its own consulting firm. Glittering steel and breitbart are not the only companies tied to the Trump Campaign 8383. 00 will serve boulevard in los angeles also hosts Cambridge Analytics a company that came under the spotlight for its influence in Politics Around the globe. Cambridge analytic claim to have revolutionary data modeling techniques that can change political campaigning. It was a subsidiary of an english for and its role in Donald Trumps campaign is regarded as manipulation of public opinion. Mike thanks guys. A singer songwriter dreams of making a mark.

The election of the 45th president of the United States raised ethical and potentially legal questions. The possibility to undermine basic democratic principles has significantly increased. There will be no lies we will honor the American People with it truth and nothing else. The headquarters of a firm little known to the general public called s. C. L. Group Strategic Communication laboratories is located in the heart of london. In these offices of data scientists compiled and analyzed terabytes of personal information. Their objective was to determine what motivates Human Behavior in order to influence a. They specialize in psyops. Which is. A military term psychological operations its whole discipline its an academic subject it can be used in different ways. The firm is very clear about its services on its site. Clients include nato the British Ministry of defense the n. S. A. And the u. S. State department. S c l has helped identify key leaders in afghanistan facilitating u. S. Intervention. Its also organized communications for Vaccination Campaign in ghana. But the companys practices remain questionable. Its a way of not change people thats the work.

In order to extend their market as c. L. Group created a new subsidiary in the us Cambridge Analytical took 7 only did the suggestion to just present. It was it has an e temperature in it each of the q 4 fit on all of them serves. To create Cambridge Analytical s. C. L. Partnered with the american billionaire Robert Mercer a mathematician specialized in data. Steve bannon served as Vice President of the for. From the. The objective was clear nothing less than a revolution in the Election Campaign process despite multiple interview requests Cambridge Analytical has refused to speak with us. But its possible to understand the work they did by simply watching their advertisements political campaigns have changed theyre no longer about running the most t. V. Spots sending out the most direct mail or spending the most money theyre about to spend the smartest in todays political world but campaigns are getting more expensive and elections are won by small but crucial numbers of votes putting the right message in front of the right person at the right moment is more important than ever this is where Cambridge Analytical in our revolutionary data modeling techniques can help. It sounds like a more logical approach to Campaign Strategizing however the reality is more complex and above all much murkier than Cambridge Analytical was willing to admit it. Since coming to the United States the firm embarked on an unprecedented operation to compile data on the American Population without its knowledge heres how it works. Imagine that inside this car is mr x. Like anyone he leaves thousands of pieces of personal information on the internet his address age income hobbies purchases religion and whether or not he owns a gun. Cambridge analytic legally bought this data from Credit Companies banks Social Security and web giants like Facebook Google and twitter. In total the firm claim to possess about 4. 00 to 5000. 00 pieces of data for over 230000000. 00 adults living in. United states. This is how they plan to use. Traditional political campaigns use geography and demographics like age and gender to break down voters into target groups this can work up to a point but it misses the important personal details that really drive voter behavior we combine geographic and demographic information with up to 5000 data points of National Political consumer and lifestyle behavior for every voter in the United States then we add a unique extra layer of data about personality Decision Making and motivation. This creates an unparalleled rich and detailed view of voters in the issues they care about so you know exactly who to target with exactly what type of message we call this behavioral micro targeting our team of data scientists psychologists and Campaign Experts can show you which individual voters you need to win over in order to secure victory. The idea is to give people psychological tests and then compare the results with the information they already have on them to know what motivates them and thus influence their votes its a technique that existed before Cambridge Analytical one if its inventor is teaches psychometrics at Stanford University california his name is Michelle Kosinski thank you metrics basically science of psychological measurement so basically have not is that instead of using question to ask you about your thoughts feelings experiences and past behavior such as are you well organized person you can basically look at your Digital Footprints and see what are you in fact i well organized person in real life. Tests to determine a persons psychological traits are cold ocean tests they measure personality based on 5 criteria. Openness. Conscientiousness extroversion agreeableness and neuroticism. Its done with seemingly innocuous questionnaires that can be completed online like these. In 2008 Michelle Kosinski created the most famous of these tasks on facebook called my personality a questionnaire to learn more about yourself. Became really popular we had over 6000000 people to take the question there and a large fraction of these peoples who donated their facebook Profile Information to us and from this information you can use. Algorithms to transform this information into very detailed and very i curate intimate profiles so as a result Michelle Kosinski hospital largest psychometric database in the world a database he can crossreference with the facebook profiles of the 6000000 people who respond its. So basic you can turn your facebook likes into an actor its a prediction of your political views religious views your personality intelligence happiness sexual intake or even whether your parents were divorced or not people often ask me how accurate those algorithms are predicting our intimate traits and i think that a great example comes from our recent study where we have compared the accuracy of the miss with a curiosity of other people so what we did we took friends and Family Members of our participants and we ask friends and Family Members to feel in the personality question as in the name of our participants now we would provide algorithm with a set of fate. Look likes and have it do the same thing so based on your facebook likes trying to predict you know personality the results of this experiment are staggering by studying 10 of your likes on facebook the algorithm knows you better than your call the next with a 100 likes it knows you better than your family. And with 230 likes it knows you better than your spouse now given how much for friends how many footprints were living every day while using internet and splaying of our phones. It basically means that computers can clearly know us better in many ways than even our close Family Member this. Prediction of Human Behavior through the combination of personal data and psychological tests is shockingly accurate. David garrow is a media professor at Parsons University in new york. He battled for months to retrieve the data that Cambridge Analytical had on him. He was amazed by what he discovered. This is the excel spreadsheet that they provided it is broken into 3 tabs core data election returns and models the model on the one hand personal data that the firm has gathered from the web and then my registered now this is all the voter data here and this is what would normally be public in voter records but it its all accurate it has the day i registered to vote it has figured out my birthday my address zip code down to you know all of my address is connected to census information and its connected to all the different kinds of elections so u. S. Congressional state senate state house. State legislative then you have some Consumer Information here like the designated mark information and f i p s it is another kind of consumer voter code and when you on the other hand the psychometric interpretation of his personality together thats how you can really 0 in and target the model is my profile so you can see the different topics were ranked in order of importance my registered partisanship my unreligious your partisanship you clearly see who their client was it didnt measure me as a democrat or republican just a very unlikely republican and you can also see sort of the model itself is in the interest of sort of finding. Conservative voters especially conservative voters who might be registered as a democrat but are actually going to vote republican so being able to go down to the zip code level and then reus o. C. That to all other election districts allows you to geo target. So precisely and thats how youre going to move the needle in u. S. Elections i think if americans knew this was happening and happening internationally they would be outraged. Funded by Robert Mercer and headed by steve benen naturally cambridge on a lot of how would offer its services to candid donald trump. By late june 26th the partnership with a done deal. On july the 29th the 1st payment was sent to the company you can find it in the campaign account. With 4 payments between july and october 26th in cambridge an emoticon would receive nearly 6000000. 00. At the same time the Political Action committee for donald trump funded by Robert Mercer paid Cambridge Analytic top 5000000. 00 between november. 2015 nov 26th in. Ultimately the firm would receive 11000000. 00 to work with the Trump Campaign. A digital targeting strategy was made possible and set to run for donald trump. All that was needed was a way to put it to use in the american election. Certainly be it some camp which include Cambridge Analytical saw something in the american electorate that the Clinton Campaign and the media certainly did not see. Its been reported that thanks to Cambridge Analytic cuz knowledge of the electorate trumps advisors devise the highly targeted strategy based on the particularities of the us voting system. In the United States the president is not alike to directly by the people but by the Electoral College appointed in each of the 50 states. Not all states have the same number of electors making some states more important to win than others. The trump camp suspected that they would not win the National Vote so with strategists decided to concentrate on key states. Knowing that they would lose the National Popular vote. How do you win well you win by capturing the Electoral College how do you do that you try and figure out a way of where you can go to appeal to relatively small numbers of people he was going to places that a lot of people thought why is he doing that he shouldnt be doing that he should be going someplace someplace else we didnt there was a strategy of looking at places that had been thought of as consistently democratic States States like michigan wisconsin and pennsylvania all 3 of which mr trump carried on in november. This was the strategy reportedly recommended by Cambridge Analytical not to try to convince millions of voters across the entire nation to vote for trump but rather to target only the 10s of thousands that the firm knew through its analyses were hesitating. If you are somebody whos as clever as robert. And you are just youre looking i mean what he does Algorithmic Trading its all about finding the time vs edge is that tiny tiny tiny edge that you have of your competitors that you can leverage and make a massive difference and thats why you make the money and i think this idea of using data and the potential manipulation through a platform facebook is that you know just enough to give you that edge that then you can exploit through things like faith and all these other techniques and tactics. Here are the techniques that motion by the data scientists i cambridge and im going to be. Using the information they had on the electorates they defined 32 types of personalities throughout the country. Its believed that individualized messages were sent targeting those considered to be the most concerned about issues. Was discussed by trump during his campaign. The Firm Identified many such voters in 3 states wisconsin michigan and pennsylvania 3 states bay believed could swing in favor of trump. In a press release Cambridge Analytical openly explained its strategy. There remains one question that the firm does not address just how did they reach these targeted voters. They did it using a little known facebook feature dark posts. They do sit in on top is when bashed his book such a massage. And book readers should determine that because my search for certain movies youve said but you just wanna listen about but its all a 1st for those i cannot expect out of it if the decline of depth of but only to yourself is a book i make them as such but also when they get if look on you that make critical mistakes are not so i thought as for this christmas as the above but i had the manuscript. Its so dark posts are very personalized messages visible only to the person for whom they are intended how does that work exactly lets go back to mr x. Analysis of his online data i can determine whether or not hes in favor of carrying firearms a message can then be created targeting him did you know that Hillary Clinton wants to take your gun away. Hell receive this message in his Facebook News feed at a specific time porting to his happen and digital fingerprints. No one but him will see the targeted ads and it will disappear a few hours later. As no record of them youve got no way of investigating that you have no idea who saw what and this is democracy taking place in darkness its not democracy if youre going to have a political debate have you out in the open you know who is all doing what and here is being told what and the idea of just sort of like sneakily targeting people with who know whats on their phones and on their computer and with anything to make you think they could have been saying anything well never know because thats gone when its on facebook said is interesting thanks but theyre not giving up. This Digital Strategy for the Trump Campaign was focused on the last few weeks. On november the 8th 2016 against all odds trump took wisconsin 523000 votes michigan 511000 pennsylvania 543000. In total 77000 votes in these 3 key states kerry trying to victory when he was 3000000 votes behind over the entire country. The digital targeting strategy had proved effective we can see that approximately 70000 voters made the decision for everyone else because they were the ones in the districts that ended up deciding to really i think this highlights as well our Electoral College system is a vulnerability that if software and data allows the most important voters to be easily.
