  1. Since Mitt Romney’s loss in the 2012 election,
    the Mercers have drifted ever further out of the orbit of Planet Koch,
    building up their own entities, including #Breitbart #News,
    #Cambridge #Analytica (the data startup),
    and the ironically named #Government #Accountability #Institute,
    all of them featuring #Steve #Bannon, the self-described economic nationalist, in top slots
    —until he joined the White House.
    Cambridge Analytica, on whose board Bannon served, and Breitbart, where he was the chief executive, are private companies.
    #GAI, which produced the campaign-season book
    "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich", by Peter Schweizer,
    is a nonprofit organization.
    Schweizer’s book, together with an accompanying movie executive-produced by #Rebekah Mercer, was designed to sully the reputation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
    It was part of a Bannon-crafted strategy to steer the sort of smears that usually bubble up from the right-wing fever swamps directly into the mainstream media.
    It worked; in 2015 the New York Times and the Washington Post both made exclusive agreements with the GAI to report on advance excerpts of Clinton Cash.

    #Bannon was wealthy before he met up with the Mercers,
    first through his work as a banker for Goldman Sachs back when it was a privately held company,
    and then through his own privately held ventures in movie-making and consulting.
    Though Bannon’s wealth, when compared to that of Betsy DeVos, makes him a pipsqueak in the Trump money universe
    (assets worth between $12 million and $54 million, according to the New York Times),
    it nonetheless derives primarily from privately held entities.

  2. How can we get more #OpenSource into medicine, especially into the medical device landscape? Martin Federbusch (Project Leader of AMPEL) led a discussion at Analytica in Munich on this topic. The occasion was the Open Source release of the #AMPEL #Sepsis Early Detection Model based on the complete blood count. Open Source in routine care is gaining momentum: it's no longer about the "Why," but about the "How"! 💪

    Let's do it!
