Cambridge Analytica head admits to "anti-Kirchner campaigns" in 2015 Argentine election
During testimony before a parliamentary committee last week, Cambridge Analytica head Alexander Nix admitted to have prepared a campaign against the governing center-left administration in Argentina in 2015, to influence that country's presidential elections.
Initially evasive, Nix admitted his firm's involvement after committee chairman Damian Collins cited documents from Cambridge Analytica's parent company, SCL, referring to an "anti-Kirchner campaign" - in reference to then-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her party's nominee, Daniel Scioli.
The campaign, according to SCL documents, was presented to an unnamed client on May 27, 2015 - six months before current Argentine President Mauricio Macri defeated Scioli in the narrowest runoff victory in Argentine history.
Nix refused to name the client, citing "confidentiality" - but specified it was not Paul Singer, the Caymans Islands vulture fund head who sought a 1600% payout on old, defaulted Argentine bonds (Singer obtained an 1180% payout from Macri in 2016).
The proposal, according to documents cited by Collins, touted SCL's team of "retired intelligence agents from Israel, the U.S., the U.K., Spain, and Russia."
Silent partner
Documentation linking Cambridge Analytica to Macri first emerged shortly Britain's Channel 4 revealed the London-based consultancy firm to have illegally influenced over 200 elections worldwide.
Macri's relationship to Nix was reportedly established through Argentine businessman Juan Pepa, with whom Nix shared ownership in a London-based firm as well as a personal friendship.
SCL opened an office in Buenos Aires (since closed) during the 2015 campaign season. At least two top Macri officials, Chief of Staff Marcos Peña and Macri's longtime "fixer" and current Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) head Gustavo Arribas, reportedly met with Cambridge Analytica managing director Mark Turnbull.
Tip of the iceberg
"Nix is no stranger to Argentina," Congressman Leopoldo Moreau, an ally of Mrs. Kirchner, pointed out. "He lived in Argentina for a time, and has worked as consultant to other firms here."
He noted that congressional subpoenas of Nix, as well as officials in Macri's newly-created "Public Opinion Analysis" office, have been ignored.
"This," Moreau believes, "is the tip of the iceberg."

Argentina's Macri and Nix's local connection, Juan Pepa.

Particularly those whom they know are likely to destabilize their respective countries.
Argentina's current financial crisis (basically, Macri's debt crisis) and the IMF bailout are proof that strategy worked - to say nothing of the current upheaval being inflicted here in the U.S. by Nix's other buddy: Cheeto!
For now unfortunately, just as congressional Republicans have been obstructing justice at every turn, Macri's "Let's Change" caucus in Argentina's congress has been shielding him - and characters like Juan Pepa - from any serious scrutiny. For now.
Thanks as always, Judi, for reading, and for caring. Have a wonderful weekend. 
Clearly they believe their power is global, and their loyalty isn't something anyone would be able to recognize. It doesn't seem to exist, but their designs seem to favor only the most devious, and greedy people on earth.
Your reference to a Bond character does seem right on target. These people are no longer human, and they clearly don't transcend humanity. They've entered an entire realm beneath human life, beneath human values, beneath human dignity.
I looked up that character you mentioned bearing a resemblance to Nix, as I hadn't seen the movie. You are so right! Amazing. I didn't even know Christopher Walken had ever done one of those films. With the right hair, and right look, he has that down completely, thanks to his unique acting range. Cool.
Hope your weekend is restorative, and totally enjoyable.
