Count Giancarlo Cicogna was a member of the Ciga hotels clan. He was with Ghislaine Maxwell for 4 years. He was 'the man who moulded the Ghislaine we now see. He told her where to get her hair cut, and what to wear.'

There is a very Ghislaine like character named Madam Anais in the movie La Belle De Jour who runs a Brothel. The film was produced by Marina Cicogna.

My view Marina Cicogna looks like Dottie in the Disney Channel series WandaVision.
NY Times covered a story of Countess Marina Cicogna, a woman with a very intetesting life. I am sure she knows many secrets and that gives her power over people of influence.

Speaking of power and influence, this article states "Boca Raton was definitely a company town," said Larry Light, who was a manager on the PC project. "It was the city's largest employer and it seemed like everyone worked for IBM." https://t.co/bWXPBzeu5M
Boca Raton is the birthplace of the IBM PC and home of OS/2 Warp. https://t.co/7ahYWCHoGb
Boca Raton is where Jeffrey Epstein's house is for sale by Mr.Indyke. It is located on "unincorporated" property. If laws are the same in Canada whoever buys this place owns the fifedom. My view that should be a National Security issue. https://t.co/npYFZvK1w3
Opentext used Magellan to rival IBM's Watson. https://t.co/ORuuV95dRm
Ghislaine's sisters Christine and Isabel created Magellan. The tech now used by Opentext for data mining/analytics.

Ghislaine Maxwell's sisters Christine and Isabel have quite a wide reach on data and secrets today.

Jules Kroll knew how to make a living on secrets. https://t.co/D5l44Dwllx
Eon films is a handy tool to influence the masses. Star Wars, Marvel and James Bond films etc. Handy tool for shaping public perception which was always linked to money. https://t.co/CUd3GHRole
Kroll, Cicogna and the Maxwell sisters. You really need to beef up your game to understand that dynamic. My view: Epstein was their creature. A creature of Crown I suspect but whose?
Conrad Black knowsany secrets of Canada. Kroll declared conflict during his Hollinger trial. He links to Trump, Les Wexner, Bilderberg, many Epstein visits etc. Scrutinize him. https://t.co/caRgbFFxG1

More from Society

This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?

My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.

But what if that wasn't true?

Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.

The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!

I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
