Fascinating breakdown of the parent company of Cambridge Analytica. I've included a few juicy excerpts below.

Correspondence from Cambridge Analytica's suspended director, Alexander Nix, sets out in excruciating detail the worldwide locations where the parent company, Strategic Communication Laboratories, was active up until 2010.

"In fact," Nix claimed, "to date SCL Elections has been involved in over 35 elections and managed in their entirety a total of 23 election campaigns world-wide – without losing a single one" [Nix's emphasis].

and

In 1990 the first field trials for this methodology were undertaken by Strategic Communication Laboratories Ltd., a project management and implementation company, who successfully broke up a strike at a UK car transport plant.

  1. How can I trust SCL Elections? SCL is a UK Limited Company with head offices in London. We are committed to ensuring client confidentiality and never release or share information on any of our clients’ activities without their express permission. SCL is a UK government approved commercial body authorised to undertake military and civilian projects for foreign clients. SCL has received ‘List X’ accreditation from the British Government’s Ministry of Defence, the same equivalent to Facility Security Clearance (FSC) used in other countries, which provides us with Government endorsed clearance to handle information protectively marked as ‘confidential’ and above. We have an extensive worldwide track record and enquires can be directed through any British High Commission or Embassy.
