Russian contacted Trump after Obama re-elect, offering help

"Kremlin mouthpiece Konstantin Rykov" posted just before the Trump erection, sorry, election, that he'd started working on electing Trump in 2012. (David O Atkins)

What was our idea with Donald Trump?

For four years and two days .. it was necessary to get to everyone in the brain and grab all possible means of mass perception of reality. Ensure the victory of Donald in the election of the US President. Then create a political alliance between the United States, France, Russia (and a number of other states) and establish a new world order.

Our idea was insane, but realizable.

In order to understand everything for the beginning, it was necessary to “digitize” all possible types of modern man.

Donald decided to invite for this task — the special scientific department of the “Cambridge University.”

British scientists from Cambridge Analytica suggested making 5,000 existing human psychotypes — the “ideal image” of a possible Trump supporter. Then .. put this image back on all psychotypes and thus pick up a universal key to anyone and everyone.

Then it was only necessary to upload this data to information flows and social networks. And we began to look for those who would have coped with this task better than others.

At the very beginning of the brave and romantic [story] was not very much. A pair of hacker groups, civil journalists from WikiLeaks and political strategist Mikhail Kovalev.

The next step was to develop a system for transferring tasks and information, so that no intelligence and NSA could burn it.


This was posted JUST BEFORE the election. Did everyone else see this?
Caveat: Successful spies don't brag. Then again, he's a "propagandist," not a spy.

Seth has an analysis:



He has a picture of Trump in 2013 with some Russian crooks, apparently Skyping with Putin.

The Rykov post is here-- there's a "translate" button at the end of the post. Is the post legitimately from Nov 2016?

He also followed at least 50 people who commented on my work—as I've heard from 50 saying so.
