The Dubious Case of Russian Hacking - David Guyatt - 07-01-2017 William Binney & Ray McGovern wade in on the Russian hacking story and regard it as dubious and show that the much trumpeted claim that proof would be provided in the Joint Intelligence Report, none in fact was supplied. Quote:The Dubious Case on Russian Hacking'Source The Dubious Case of Russian Hacking - Dawn Meredith - 08-01-2017 I am very surprised that there is not a big thread on this fake story. I just saw some articles on Fox news that are finally questioning this bullshit. Shared on facebook. The Dubious Case of Russian Hacking - Albert Doyle - 08-01-2017 CNN has loosened up lately and conservative commentary Jeff Lord was actually allowed to give two examples of bad intelligence. One was the WMD, but to my shock the other was the Kennedy assassination. Jeff Lord actually referred to the official story on Kennedy's death as bad intelligence on CNN! This morning a commentary was allowed to say there were two dissenting votes on the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that were ignored who turned out to be right. He said the same phony jingoism that is currently being employed was allowed to push through Johnson's Viet Nam escalation. American politics have become so corrupted that the stripes of the Democrats have jumped to the Republicans... The Dubious Case of Russian Hacking - Peter Lemkin - 08-01-2017 They are offering NO proofs whatsoever on which to really make a determination. My take on it is it is a political move to weaken Trump. I'm all in favor of weakening Trump with truth [easy enough!], but not with lies. Least anyone forget the USA has even admitted to many cases of US interference in foreign elections, usually via the CIA - but not always. One notable, but far from the only one, can be found here https://williamblum.org/chapters/killing-hope/italy - so who are we to point fingers!?! As the Empire collapses, they feel free to stoop to anything for the remaining bits of money and power. Morality and Truth were never the strong suit in the USA, but it is getting worse and worse with each passing day.

As The Daily Caller reports, three brothers (Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan) who managed office IT for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computer networks without permission. Imran Awan seen below with Bill Clinton As Luke Rosiak repoerts, the brothers were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned. Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation's most sensitive issues, information and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism. The three men are "shared employees," meaning they are hired by multiple offices, which split their salaries and use them as needed for IT services. It is up to each member to fire them from working...The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members' computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress. Jamal handled IT for Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat who serves on both the intelligence and foreign affairs panels. A criminal investigation into five unnamed people began late last year related to serious and potentially illegal violations of House IT policies, Politico reported Thursday. Chiefs of staff for the members were briefed Thursday by the Sergeant-at-Arms."As of 2/2, his employment with our office has been terminated," Castro spokeswoman Erin Hatch told TheDCNF Friday. Jamal also worked for Louisiana Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond, who is on the Committee on Homeland Security. Imran worked for Reps. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat, and Jackie Speier, a California Democrat. Carson and Speier are members of the intelligence committee. Spokesmen for Carson and Speier did not respond to TheDCNF's requests for comments. Imran also worked for the House office of Wasserman-Schultz. Then-Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, employed Abid for IT work in 2016. She was a member of House committees dealing with the armed services, oversight, and Benghazi. Duckworth was elected to the Senate in November, 2016. Abid has a prior criminal record and a bankruptcy. Abid also worked for Rep. Lois Frankel, a Florida Democrat who is member of the foreign affairs committee. Also among those whose computer systems may have been compromised is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat who was previously the target of a disastrous email hack when she served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.

Buzzfeed reported Friday that one of the affected members claimed: "they said it was some sort of procurement scam, but now I'm concerned that they may have stolen data from us, emails, who knows." While treading carefully here, and not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, is it just us or is the irony too perfect that having blamed 'Russians' for allegedly hacking their systems and manipulating the election, it was three IT staff they hired (with immigrant-sounding names - yes we said it) that in fact broke into the systems of various politicians and aides.
The Dubious Case of Russian Hacking - Peter Lemkin - 05-02-2017 Seth Rich, the 27-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer who was shot dead on a Washington, DC street last July. On August 9, in an interview on the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur, Julian Assange seemed to suggest rather clearly that Seth Rich was the source for the Wikileaks-exposed DNC emails and was murdered for it. Julian Assange: "Our whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often face very significant risks. A 27-year-old that works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons, as he was walking down the street in Washington, D.C." Reporter: "That was just a robbery, I believe. Wasn't it?" Julian Assange: "No. There's no finding. So … I'm suggesting that our sources take risks." |
