In the original whistle-blowing interview the whistle-blower (Wylie) says that he was the one which initiated this whole project:
> At 24, he came up with an idea that led to the foundation of a company called Cambridge Analytica
> It was Wylie who came up with that idea and oversaw its realisation.
> Alexander Nix, then CEO of SCL Elections, made Wylie an offer he couldn’t resist. “He said: ‘We’ll give you total freedom. Experiment. Come and test out all your crazy ideas.’”
> But Wylie wasn’t just talking about fashion. He had recently been exposed to a new discipline: “information operations”, which ranks alongside land, sea, air and space in the US military’s doctrine of the “five-dimensional battle space”
