NBC News: "CIA Prepping for Possible Cyber Strike Against Russia"

The Obama administration is contemplating an unprecedented cyber covert action against Russia in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the American presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

It's almost too sad to comment. But. It's a clear and simple case of creating a public myth and then responding to it in a predetermined way. Russia never was responsible for the Wikileaks DNC hack. It's complete bollocks dreamt up by a fearful Clinton machine.

I'm agnostic on this, but if Russia doesn't want a Democrat elected, it shows how much the party of the left has been co-opted.

Russia would prefer not to have Clinton because she's a ember of the war party. However, Putin how openly stated that Russia hasn't and wouldn't interfere in the US democratic process (not that it's democratic mind you).

[QUOTE]"It's well known that there's great deal of offshore money moved outside of Russia from oligarchs," he said. "It would be very embarrassing if that was revealed, and that would be a proportional response to what we've seen" in Russia's alleged hacks and leaks targeting U.S. public opinion.

That's a whopper. Putin wouldn't rather have that money back home rather than propping up the western banking systems?

There's more than meets the eye here. Perhaps they've caught Russia doing something more serious than hacking the DNC. Perhaps they're getting ready to stop Russia from pulling money out of western banks or leaking damaging information.

To repeat, Russia didn't hack the DNC. There is zero evidence for it and it's pure nasty propaganda.

NSA whistleblower says DNC hack was not done by Russia, but by U.S. intelligence

NSA has all of Clinton's "deleted" emails.

On Aaron Klein's Sunday radio program, "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" (broadcast on New York's AM 970 The Answer and Philadelphia's NewsTalk 990 AM), US government whistleblower William Binney threw his hat into the DNC hack ring by stating that the Democratic National Committee's server was not hacked by Russia but by a disgruntled U.S. intelligence worker.
The motivation of the hacker…concern over Hillary Clinton's disregard of national security secrets when she used a personal email and consistently lied about it.
Binney was just getting started with revelations we are sure no main stream media news site will dare to cover. The "Putin did it" fairytale is just to easy for the sheep to follow.
Binney also proclaimed that the NSA has all of Clinton's deleted emails, and the FBI could gain access to them if they so wished. No need for Trump to ask the Russians for those emails, he can just call on the FBI or NSA to hand them over.
Breitbart reports further…

Binney referenced testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2011 by then-FBI Director Robert S. Mueller in which Meuller spoke of the FBI's ability to access various secretive databases "to track down known and suspected terrorists."
Stated Binney: "Now what he (Mueller) is talking about is going into the NSA database, which is shown of course in the (Edward) Snowden material released, which shows a direct access into the NSA database by the FBI and the CIA. Which there is no oversight of by the way. So that means that NSA and a number of agencies in the U.S. government also have those emails."
"So if the FBI really wanted them they can go into that database and get them right now," he stated of Clinton's emails as well as DNC emails.
Asked point blank if he believed the NSA has copies of "all" of Clinton's emails, including the deleted correspondence, Binney replied in the affirmative.
"Yes," he responded. "That would be my point. They have them all and the FBI can get them right there."

Binney surmised that the hack of the DNC could have been coordinated by someone inside the U.S. intelligence community angry over Clinton's compromise of national security data with her email use.
And the other point is that Hillary, according to an article published by the Observer in March of this year, has a problem with NSA because she compromised Gamma material. Now that is the most sensitive material at NSA. And so there were a number of NSA officials complaining to the press or to the people who wrote the article that she did that. She lifted the material that was in her emails directly out of Gamma reporting. That is a direct compromise of the most sensitive material at the NSA. So she's got a real problem there. So there are many people who have problems with what she has done in the past. So I don't necessarily look at the Russians as the only one(s) who got into those emails.
The Observer defined the GAMMA classification:
GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was).

Zerohedge has some background on Binney, who is about as rock solid a security analyst as you could get.

Over a year before Edward Snowden shocked the world in the summer of 2013 with revelations that have since changed everything from domestic to foreign US policy but most of all, provided everyone a glimpse into just what the NSA truly does on a daily basis, a former NSA staffer, and now famous whistleblower, William Binney, gave excruciating detail to Wired magazine about all that Snowden would substantiate the following summer.
We covered it in a 2012 post titled "We Are This Far From A Turnkey Totalitarian State" Big Brother Goes Live September 2013." Not surprisingly, Binney received little attention in 2012 his suggestions at the time were seen as preposterous and ridiculously conspiratorial. Only after the fact, did it become obvious that he was right. More importantly, in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations, what Binney has to say has become gospel.
Binney was an architect of the NSA's surveillance program. He became a famed whistleblower when he resigned on October 31, 2001, after spending more than 30 years with the agency. He referenced testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2011 by then-FBI Director Robert S. Mueller in which Meuller spoke of the FBI's ability to access various secretive databases "to track down known and suspected terrorists."
