CIA Hacking Tools Revealed by Wikileaks - Rivals much NSA can do!

[Peter Lemkin]

That the Vault 7 release is only 1% so far boggles the mind given the content thus far. It seems that Assange and Wikileaks weren't joking when they chose the JFK phrase for their password Splinter Into A Thousand Pieces And Scatter Into The Winds.

Also based on what Wikileaks said about why the individual leaked this material it now seems reasonably clear that there are a number of serving and former Intelligence Community officials who have decided to combat the the US security state, which they consider is now operating against the interests of the US Constitution and are illegal.

In a recent interview on Fox Hannity show (below) two former IC types (William Binney and Col. Tony Schaffer) both indicated that "former members of the NSA, retired intelligence guys", using the "malware" that had "Russian fingerprints" on it hacked the DNC and gave it to Wikileaks (thus confirming what former UK former Ambassador Craig Murray has said). Shaffer also added that the DNC and the democrats knew this but pushed the Russian did it story. He added that he has no proof but this is what he's heard and the reason for this was that "concerned Americans were fed up with Clinton doing things... got in there and gave it to Wikileaks". Binney agrees.



Now we have this second release from a "cleared insider" that is designed to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces, and I don't suppose it's pushing the envelope to say that there is continuing warfare between "concerned Americans" in the CIA and the IC who are intent on bringing the the CIA and other IC entities to heel over their excesses -- presumably in the domestic political arena. William Binney also adds an important observation. The CIA hacking tools are no longer secure, other hackers have accessed them, and yet the CIA did nothing about fixing this leaving everyone everywhere openly vulnerable. And the kicker is that the CIA then asks for more money for cyber security. Binney is suggesting this is an outright scam.

There is a lot we don't know [here on the 'outside']. I think it is reasonable to assume that the Russians have a program similar to, if slightly less all-pervasive than what the NSA has in vacuuming up as much data as possible. They are known to have some of the best hackers in the World and certainly can target who they want as well [or better] than anyone else. That said, I still find it not likely, but possible - and have not yet seen proofs - that Russia got the DNC emails and turned them over to Wikileaks. A DNC insider I named in a thread on this forum died suddenly and unexpectedly after some few accusing him of being the leaker. Also, might Russia not have thought of this on their own, but have been asked by people close to Trumpf in exchange for favors or favoritism...we simply do not know. The more likely scenario is as mentioned in the brief interview you posted the CIA did it and attributed it to Russia for political reasons. This story will obviously play and play based on very little, if any, hard information - and one's political 'persuasion' seems to temper what you want to believe and thus do more than any rational evaluation of the facts or likely facts. Lastly, even if someone - whoever - leaked them, no one has claimed they weren't true and real and the information in them is more important IMHO than who leaked them. It may well have been someone of a 'Snowden-like' consciousness who leaked the Vault7 information. As to the remaining 99%, I would assume [only an assumption] that it is part top-secret and above top-secret stuff [all released was secret and below], Wikileaks is thinking carefully about before releasing - plus the code - which it seems they will not release publicly but will release to the corporations concerned and to a limited number of white-hat hackers to enable them to build new code to make these exploits null and void [for a short time]. How much of one vs. the other only Wikileaks knows. If Assange's life was in danger before, can you imagine it now!?!?!
