Sorry, Russia-gaters; WikiLeaks Got the DNC Emails From Insider, not Russia
If you're new/ish to the group and missed post of the "alleged hack of the DNC, here it is in a nutshell. The initial link above contains 4 of many I posted here from the work of the VIPS from Consortium News. Yes, there are more at the site. I'm sure these 4 fairly wrap up the bulk of evidence that the 3 year long narrative from the media and establishment is false.
The link below is another article from within the initial article. It's basically a copy of one of the VIPS detailed work on disproving the false narrative we've been hearing for 3 years.
Why The DNC was not hacked by the Russians
Why does a cyber security company wait 45 days after allegedly uncovering a massive Russian attack on the DNC server to take concrete steps to safeguard the integrity of the information held on the server?
I have reached the point where I no longer believe left or right wing.
Both have too much vested interest in their point of view. I have no trust in our government as a whole. I think their are some honest people but being honest can get you killed.
Pretty damn sad state of affairs.
So I posted this to another website yesterday and got lambasted that it was right wing bullshit with no experts lol
So I posted it from The Nation too, which is left wing, and I got called a loser lol
"Former NSA EXPERTS say it wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak—an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system.
For more than 150 years, The Nation has been committed to fearless, independent journalism. We have a long history of seeking alternative views and taking unpopular stances. We believe it is important to challenge questionable conventional wisdom and to foster debate—not police it. Focusing on unreported or inadequately reported issues of major importance and raising questions that are not being asked have always been a central part of our work.
This journalistic mission led The Nation to be troubled by the paucity of serious public scrutiny of the January 2017 intelligence-community assessment (ICA) on purported Russian interference in our 2016 presidential election, which reflects the judgment of the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA. That report concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered the hacking of the DNC and the dissemination of e-mails from key staffers via WikiLeaks, in order to damage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. This official intelligence assessment has since led to what some call “Russiagate,” with charges and investigations of alleged collusion with the Kremlin, and, in turn, to what is now a major American domestic political crisis and an increasingly perilous state of US-Russia relations. To this day, however, the intelligence agencies that released this assessment have failed to provide the American people with any actual evidence substantiating their claims about how the DNC material was obtained or by whom. Astonishingly and often overlooked, the authors of the declassified ICA themselves admit that their “judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact.”
That is why The Nation published Patrick Lawrence’s article “A New Report Raises Big Questions About Last Year’s DNC Hack.” The article largely reported on a recently published memo prepared by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which argued, based on their own investigation, that the theft of the DNC e-mails was not a hack, but some kind of inside leak that did not involve Russia.
VIPS, formed in 2003 by a group of former US intelligence officers with decades of experience working within the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and other agencies, previously produced some of the most credible—and critical—analyses of the Bush administration’s mishandling of intelligence data in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq."
Yep, right wing bullshit and no expertise lol
The shit we see in the movies isn't too far from the actual truth. People think otherwise because they're movies and there is some creative leeway.
Shooter with Mark Whalberg is one of those movies. I even heard or read something about that contraption they used in the one scene where they were going to make it look like the FBI agent committed suicide, they were saying they actually use these things.
@William_Mary I remember the scene. I wouldn't put anything past our intelligence agencies.
