Behind Russia’s hacking: Misfires
So, the media keeps wanting to make this a Russian run, Russian orchestrated thing, and yet the never disclose who the "sources close to Russia" and how they determine "closely aligned to the Russian Government" and "hackers known as Fancy Bear were closely aligned with the interests of the Russian government.". They never provide one fact, just these "supposed facts". They also neglect to mention that in this time frame there are hundreds of attacks going on, and I am willing to bewt they targeted Republicrats, Obama, not to mention businesses and the real thing they were doing in many, many little groups, hacking to encrypt your data for ransom. This "Secureworks" offers some reports if you sign up with your email, but seems to want money for protection and doesn't mention selling studies, or "data". So, if it is not available, did they pay for it? There seems to be a lot of holes in the story, yet it is presented as incontrovertable truth that the poor Dumbocraps, with their "state of the art" security, had a goober like Podesta that even the article admits "A malicious link was generated for Podesta at 11:28 a.m. Moscow time, the AP found. Documents subsequently published by WikiLeaks show that the rogue email arrived in his inbox six minutes later. The link was clicked twice." That doesn't seem very "state of the art" to me. This seems like someone needed a real "heavy" article to counter all the "Clinton Crap" flying around, and make the whole "Russia Collusion" story useful again. I mean, really, Podesta gets a google security request and clicks on it?
If nothing else, DT will have underscored the decrepitude of American government and the complicity and collusion of the MSM to bring down the country.
I do hope someone in the DT administration enacts proceedings for treason. There are far too many deserving of the hangman's noose, even quite a few calling themselves republicans.
When I testify in a court of law, I always request an oath which specifies under what ( pains of perjury linked to the law) will happen for lying and not to some most likely non-existent god. Perhaps that is why so many lie under oath with no god to punish them and maybe why so many theists end up being dishonest.
The Evil Hag needed a smokescreen to distract the public from her own Uranium One collusion.
"Even if Russian interference made only a marginal difference," Clinton told an audience at a recent speech at Stanford University, "this election was won at the margins, in the Electoral College."
If it was, indeed, "won at the margins" that means you can not lay the blame at any specific marginal effect. In my experience, any honest and effective assessment of a "marginal" outcome focuses not on any marginal effects, but on major ones that made it a marginal decided result. The fact that her campaign ignored states that she then lost is undeniably a much larger effect.
Admitting someone lost "at the margins" means that person first lost at the majors.
"A malicious link was generated for Podesta at 11:28 a.m. Moscow time, the AP found. Documents subsequently published by WikiLeaks show that the rogue email arrived in his inbox six minutes later. The link was clicked twice."
The way this is written the implication is that the intended result happened within minutes. However, two things put the lie to the article. First is the string of emails where Podesta sought confirmation no its validity and a response that was reportedly a mis-type saying it was OK. The second was that it would have been about 0330 when it "arrived" in Podesta's inbox.
I actually don't really blame Podesta for it. He responded appropriately by forwarding it on to their security team for confirmation and acted subsequently based on what he was told in the response. From a behavioral standpoint, that is precisely what you want a user to do. The failure here was that the response from their security team had not been double-checked for accuracy before being sent.
We live in a Hegelian nightmare.
Yes. I like to think that the Russian stuff was hopefully a drop in the bucket of home-grown simple-minded group politics. The creepy thought is if the Russians instigated it and possibly in a way that seems confusing to me, but actually "they have a plan" like the Cylons in the re-imagined BSG.
In my Cylon scenario, people who doubt all US institutions and think either Republicans or Democrats are all corrupt and getting away with it and those who view this as how politicians can exploit it are all totally sucked in to Russian plan. I don't think the grand-plan idea is true. I think it's mostly just domestic partisanship, I hope so anyway.
"th Soviet UVB-76 buffer"
By the way I meant the UVB-76 Buzzer. You can listen to those buzzes and imagine those pictures of old buildings in some little Russian town being a place where they send secret messages to spies around the word. It's the same with those number stations.
This is as close as I get to understanding the mind of people who see conspiracies everywhere. I truly believe the reality behind mysterious shortwave stations is boring than any creepy stories people think of.
As for theories, it's no secret that their are those that would change the nature of Conscious and non-Conscious, (disempowered) Humans into something we are not...subservient surfs at their beckon call.
I say to them...Tie your own shoe laces for a change.
