How Putin Weaponized Wikileaks to Influence the Election of an American President

[FA_Q2]

What did Debbie do that was illegal? I don't know yet. Do you? Is she guilty until proven innocent?

Has nothing to do with the law, as you well know. It is a gross violation of the DNC rules to be anything but neutral during the nomination process. Exposed has been the Democrat National Committee's use of SUPER DELEGATES to make certain that the actual voters have little or nothing to do with who is nominated. Bernie Sanders said, from day one, that the system was rigged. The exposure of the SUPER DELEGATES and now the exposure of the entire DNC working for the destruction of one candidate in particular and complete support of another proves they can't even comply with their own rules!

Your desperation is duly noted!

Bernie is full of shit and so are you. As someone who has been involved in politics for many years, I can tell you one thing - the goal of the DNC and the RNC is to win elections. Let us know when it is determined that the DNC broke any laws. As for the "rules" - they get bent to hell and back. The DNC had their collective thumbs on the scale for Obama in 2008 - but no one was punished for breaking any laws or bending any rules. Our so-called democracy is determined by delegates - not popular votes. Bernie knew exactly how the system worked up front. Remember not long ago when he started talking about trying to persuade Hillary's delegates to come over to him? So, for Bernie to say the "system was rigged" is laughable - because the "system" never changed from the beginning up through now. Bernie just got burned by the "system" he signed on for. In short - he lost. That's politics...

I should feel sorry for you as you clearly lack a moral compass.

I am guided by facts, truth, and my moral compass. How about you? You just seem to have diarrhea of the brain.

Let's see if a Hilarybot can answer a few questions......honestly.
1. Please describe the fundamental differences between Hilary Clinton's foreign policy objectives and those of President Bush or any other neocon.

1. But BOOOSH

2. Because.

See how obvious it is?

Evidence suggests that a Russian intelligence group was the source of the most recent Wikileaks intel dump, which was aimed to influence the U.S. election.

Close your eyes and imagine that a hacking group backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin broke into the email system of a major U.S. political party. The group stole thousands of sensitive messages and then published them through an obliging third party in a way that was strategically timed to influence the United States presidential election. Now open your eyes, because that’s what just happened.

On Friday, Wikileaks published 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee. They reveal, among other things,thuggish infighting, a push by a top DNC official to use Bernie Sanders’ religious convictions against him in the South, and attempts to strong-arm media outlets. In other words, they reveal the Washington campaign monster for what it is.

But leave aside the purported content of the Wikileaks data dump (to which numerous other outlets have devoted considerable attention) and consider the source. Considerable evidence shows that the Wikileaks dump was an orchestrated act by the Russian government, working through proxies, to undermine Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign.

“This has all the hallmarks of tradecraft. The only rationale to release such data from the Russian bulletproof host was to empower one candidate against another. The Cold War is alive and well,” Tom Kellermann, the CEO of Strategic Cyber Ventures told Defense One.

Here’s the timeline: On June 14, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, under contract with the DNC, announced in a blog post that two separate Russian intelligence groups had gained access to the DNC network. One group, FANCY BEAR or APT 28, gained access in April. The other, COZY BEAR, (also called Cozy Duke andAPT 29) first breached the network in the summer of 2015.

Cybersecurity company FireEye first discovered APT 29 in 2014 and was quick to point out a clear Kremlin connection. “We suspect the Russian government sponsors the group because of the organizations it targets and the data it steals. Additionally, APT 29 appeared to cease operations on Russian holidays, and their work hours seem to align with the UTC +3 time zone, which contains cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg,” they wrote in their report on the group. Other U.S. officials have said that the group looks like it has sponsorship from the Russian government due in large part to the level of sophistication behind the group’s attacks.

It’s the same group that hit the State Department, the White House, and the civilian email of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The group’s modus operandi (a spearphishing attack that uploads adistinctive remote access tool on the target’s computer) is well known to cyber-security researchers.

In his blog post on the DNC breaches CrowdStrike’s CTO Dmitri Alperovitchwrote “We’ve had lots of experience with both of these actors attempting to target our customers in the past and know them well. In fact, our team considers them some of the best adversaries out of all the numerous nation-state, criminal and hacktivist/terrorist groups we encounter on a daily basis. Their tradecraft is superb, operational security second to none and the extensive usage of ‘living-off-the-land’ techniques enables them to easily bypass many security solutions they encounter.”

The next day, an individual calling himself Guccifer 2.0 claimed to be the culprit behind the breach and released key documents to back up the claim, writing: “Shame on CrowdStrike.”

One would hope that most Americans would be smart enough not to take Putin's bait. We'll see...

Lol, you want the focus to be off of the substance of those emails and onto Putin! Meh, it will probably work for the useful idiots who vote democrat.

You're crying because Obama didn't start any wars?

WTF?

 

[kaz]

You're crying because Obama didn't start any wars?

You're truly a sick genocidal ratfuk. You're willing ot kill millions to get your hate-fix against Clinton, and proud of it.

You'll run from that point now, like you always due. A few million dead is nothing, compared to maintaining the righteous purity of your hatred of the infidels, right?

Obama didn't start any wars???? What the fuck? Libya, Syria, Egypt, Haiti? Not to mention extending Iraq and Afghanistan?

When Obama says suck, you say how hard ...

1. Please describe the fundamental differences between Hilary Clinton's foreign policy objectives and those of President Bush or any other neocon.

She's not starting wars. Duh.

I know such little details will make no difference in your loopy "They're all the same!" fantasy world, but they're not all the same.

Did Obama start any wars? No? See, not the same as Republicans.

You are very stupid and dishonest. She has been instrumental in every war of the past two decades. Name one war that Hilary was against, name one she voted against. She was the primary author of the debacles in Libya and Syria. God damn you people are stupid.

 

[Liminal]

Looks like I lost another bet. You really are this stupid.

So do you have Tonto's nut sack in a bag on your mantle? Or he has yours? Why are you taking up for the white hating racist Redskin anyway? Are you blowing him or is he blowing you?

You really are a very stupid and dishonest little person.

From you?

Not much to you....is there.

You're a self hating Jew, aren't you, Adolph?

As if further demonstration of your somewhat modest intellectual endowment were actually necessary.

No, it's not really. You're a self hating Jew. You hate the dogs of Israel that prowl the middle east because you're a rabid Jewish dog. You know, like Hitler

Aren't you embarrassed for people to see how shallow and unsubstantial you are? You should be.

Yep, no raids into Somalia? No troops currently on the ground of Yemen. No Libya? No Egypt? No trying to overthrow the governments in South America....And you fucktwits decided Venezuela was a national security threat...............over. .....get this...........it's good.................fucking oil.

Shut the fuck up and sit down you worthless piece of shit.

Aww, are you upset because your phony equivalence shit is getting laughed at?

Did Bush start any wars? Yes.

Did Obama start any wars? No.

Hence, the two parties are not alike. By attacking Clinton, you're putting the warlike party in office, hence you are pushing war. Nice going, ace.

And warmongers, pretending every little conflict is a war is dishonest, even for you. You need to try a different excuse to justify the way your push for war by supporting Trump, being everyone will laugh at that one.

Are you insane? After reading that, I had to ask.

No matter. Being you're detached from reality, you'll fit in well with the other BernieBrats, and rise far in that group.

Okay, I shouldn't call them that. Sanders is a good man (which is why your group is booing him), and doesn't deserve to have his name soiled by association with your group of screaming toddlers. I'll just call them the "#brats".

Do you call that a rebuttal of the facts? You are either absolutely dishonest or completely stupid....there is no third option. Hilary Clinton is the right wing, she never saw a war she didn't like. Which makes you a right wing war monger.

hilary's minions would certainly like you to believe that. The reality is it is probably all Julian Assange who did it because philosophically he is more towards Sanders, and he despises political corruption which describes hilary's campaign to a T.

Bernie Sanders just announced that his name will be up for roll call vote at the convention. Now we can watch the Super delegates vote rather than hiding behind a coronation. The revolution continues Hilarybots.

This is really scary...

Putin’s Buddy Trump Is About To Get National Security Briefings. Intel Officers Are Worried.

They should be worried. Trump is just as likely as not to blurt out classified information in one of his tirades. His speeches are mostly impromptu rants so when he get's excited, the mouth opens and most anything may come out.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Even Donald Trump should denounce such Russian tactics. However, that is unlikely - since he never said anything about his adviser saying Hillary should be shot by firing squad.

Did Wasserbutt Shultz deny she posted those e-mails.

This is what outs you as a low life government leaching brain dead scumbag leftwinger.

You really don't seem to care that she colluded against Sanders. I hope you get your ass kicked by one of his supporters.
