From the #Seychelles to the #WhiteHouse to #CambridgeAnalytica, #ErikPrince and the #UAE are key parts of the #Trump story

04.08.18 by Wendy Siegelman

"In January 2017 Erik Prince attended a meeting in the #Seychelles with the United Arab Emirate’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the CEO of the #Russian Direct Investment Fund #KirillDmitriev, and George Nader, a former consultant for Erik Prince’s company Blackwater.

"While Erik Prince testified in November 2017 to the House Intelligence Committee that the meeting with Dmitriev was unplanned, news broke last week that Mueller has evidence that Prince’s meeting with Putin’s ally Dmitriev may not have been a chance encounter, contradicting Prince’s sworn testimony. And, according to George Nader, a main purpose of the meeting was to set up a communication channel between the Russian government and the incoming #Trump administration.

"Earlier this year, a seemingly unrelated scandal erupted after a story broke about Trump’s data company Cambridge Analytica harvesting #FacebookData on tens of millions of people. Shortly after that a Channel 4 News investigation revealed undercover film of Cambridge Analytica executives bragging about the dirty tricks they use to influence elections.

"As the Cambridge Analytica scandal was unfolding, I broke the story about a new company Emerdata Limited, created by Cambridge Analytica executives, that in early 2018 added new board members Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer, Cheng Peng, Chun Shun Ko Johnson, who is a business partner of Erik Prince, and Ahmed Al Khatib, a ‘Citizen of Seychelles’."

The #Seychelles is full of prehistoric wonders. Spotted these Aldabra giant #tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) ensuring the next generation of their species. Truly humbling to watch these ancient #animals in their natural habitat. 🇸🇨

🌴🥥 On a few small islands in the #Seychelles, the coco-de-mer palm grows seeds so massive they can weigh as much as a 7-year-old child.

To sustain these 30kg giants in poor soil, the tree has evolved a clever trick: its giant leaves act like a gutter system, funneling rainwater and nutrients directly to its own roots.
