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

[Vigilante]

Well, you stupid fucking DemoRATS...IF you didn't do so much ILLEGAL and underhanded shit, then you COULDN'T GET CAUGHT, even by PUTIN!!!!!

The Washington Post ^ | July 24, 2016 | Tom Hamburger, Ellen Nakashima
A top official with Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Sunday accused the Russian government of orchestrating the release of damaging Democratic Party records in order to help the campaign of Republican Donald Trump — and some cyber security experts in the U.S. and overseas agree. The extraordinary charge came as some national security officials have been growing increasingly concerned about possible efforts by Russia to meddle in the election, according to several officials familiar with the situation.

And Putin says....

It's very simple. Putin wants Trump to be president, whatever it takes and here's why: Russia and China and their ME pals have been using terrorist acts to try to bait first the US...and when Obama didn't bite...then her allies. Namely they've been focusing on France because France is historically famous for kneejerk retaliation. Once a retaliation is launched, the US "will have to come on board". In the future, Obama's inaction to the obvious bait being set at his feet will be seen possibly as the lifesaver of these times for America. So thumbs-up to Obama whether he planned it that way or not.

These countries have been carefully plotting economic instability to the US...with our idiot politicians gleefully playing the role of chump...so long at the $$ rolls in...At a given time when a president finally reacts and does something foolish (Trump-guaranteed), they will use a vicious campaign simultaneous to radical economic sabotage...possibly also cyber attacks timed to reach maximum effect.

Clinton doesn't play well into this scenario. Trump does. Hence the reason Putin wants Trump.

It's one thing to be safe. It's quite another to be foolish.

" Russia and China and their ME pals have been using terrorist acts to try to bait first the US."

Why are we in Syria?
Why did we destabilize Egypt and Libya?
Why are we in Yemen and Somalia?

Why is NATO massing troops along the Russian Border?
Why is China telling Obama to fuck off concerning the South China Sea?
You kids need to pay attention, some VERY bad shit is coming.

Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu
The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.

Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

Does the left allege that Wikileaks is backed by Putin? It sounds like the freaking 60's when they blamed everything on the commies.

Yep. That's where we are at. And Trump and Putin are in cahoots AND the Democrats were jacks asses in the name of national security.

Shitting Bull spent an entire thread earlier screeching, "So you're going to convict Debbie Wasserman without proof? WITHOUT HER DAY IN COURT??" Yet here the dumbass is as the OP doing the very thing she pissed her granny panties over..

Hey Shitting Bull, where's your outrage at Obama influencing a foreign election? Why are you here condemning Russia with "no proof" and without their day in court like you did all day, SCREAMING it, post after post over Debbie Wasserman??? Let's hear it HYPOCRITE.

 

[kyzr]

She got thrown out of the party for running primaries that were totally unfair to Bernie voters, totally undemocratic, fixed, a sham, etc.

Except that wasn't done.

Anyways who says it was done would be lying.

If you disagree, tell us what unfair tactics were used. Be specific.

And of course I expect you to cut and run now. All Hillary-haters cut and run when asked for evidence for their loopy conspiracy theories.

Too lazy or too stupid to use "google" for yourself? HERE IT IS=> Detailed List of Findings in Wikileaks DNC Document Dump

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...

Yes, it was a crushing blow to Hilliary. Now be quiet as we delight in your defeat.

Well I realize that and have for years. There is some wisdom in doing nothing and in this case, standing on one's head to dream up a counter-plan. This one is a "think outside the box" situation if I've ever seen one..

Trump? He don't think outside the box too good. Putin is likely sweating with elation at the prospect of push-button Trump being President..

Where's your "credible" proof that he did? Why was Nutanyahoo over here trying to influence the 2012 presidential election?

What Netanyahu's meddling in US election means for Obama ...

Like I said earlier, you're a fucking loon..

“The State Department ignored warnings signs and funded a politically active group in a politically sensitive environment with inadequate safeguards,” said Sen. Rob Portman, chairman of the investigative subcommittee. “It is completely unacceptable that U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to build a political campaign infrastructure that was deployed — immediately after the grant ended — against the leader of our closest ally in the Middle East. American resources should be used to help our allies in the region, not undermine them.”

Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu

THE FUCKING STATE DEPT YOU LIBERAL HACK

Putin is only doing what the incompetent, anti-semitic, anti-christian, urine-throwing, flag-burning, violence-inciting, e-mail scandal-plagued liberals are LETTING him do.

That's like trying to blame a bear for getting in a trash can and making a mess when you didn't secure the lid.

Stop your lying, denying, justifying, and attempts to blame others for the despicable and incomptent acts perpetrated by liberals. Sack up and accept some personal responsibility, you whiny little bi@tches!
