Following months of claims by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that Russia is plotting to get Donald Trump elected, the Obama Administration has today publicly endorsed the narrative that Russia was responsible for hacks against the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party.
Officials had long just insisted it was possible Russia was involved, and today insisted that “only” Russia’s leaders could’ve launched such hacking attacks. The significant change in tone, significantly, did not include any actual release of any evidence to that effect.
The Department of Homeland Security rather said the conclusion was reached simply because it was “consistent with Russian motivations,” and administration officials vowed to take revenge “at time and place of our choosing,” and that the public might not even know the revenge was done by the US.
Officials insisted they were confident that could ensure “a secure election” and that the American public was too resilient to allow Russian hacking to change their mind about who to vote for.
The lack of evidence for Russia’s involvement in the DNC hacks has been a matter of contention for some time now, with former government officials saying there is no way to prove that Russia was involved, let alone wholly responsible for the hacking. That the DHS only cited their presumed motive suggests that there isn’t a lot of secret evidence backing this claim even now.
Clinton’s campaign has suggested that voters should ignore any leaks that seem negative to her campaign, on the grounds that it might be from Russia, and therefore might be a lie. Despite this, the evidence that has been made public so far from the hacks has all appeared to be true, or at the very least never publicly denied by the campaign.
The US will trot out any lie in order cover up its own corruption.
The true color of neocons we are just starting to see. They have managed to keep the ugliness rather hidden, but their world has been shook up a bit, and for the first time, felt their mortality — the possibility of not just losing elections, but losing actual power and influence. Trump came along, a vulnerable and flawed human being, not having political skills, and saying what came to his mind. But it struck a chord — and probably Trump himself does not know the full extent what he has struck. The Republicans are in shock, as their money may evaporate, should enraged Neocons strike back in revenge. Just as they thought they could actually win this thing — Trump being Trump, forgot that he was not talking to Hillary, but to the nation, and screwed up the debate. OK, a learning curve.
But, what Neocons know, that should they win this time, they will make sure that the scare like this never happens again. They will purge the ranks of State Department so that there are no holdovers of people who actually think it is their job to think. They will learn Trotskyism in practice — they will know what they are supposed to say, and what not. And they will have to learn to call Russians animals or mammals, wholly incapable of learning the proper place in front of the Masters of Universe. They are going to be so full of themselves, so ready to sacrifice everyone interests — but their own. Republicans will pay — no matter how much they grovel. And the Mid West, the Fly Over Country, mistakenly left for dead, will get the wrath of the Neocon. The mass migration will descend on them, to permanently change the hopeless people. Who they think they are? The owners of the country? When are they going to learn the way globalism works, you are only the client or the customer of the state, and will be serviced according to our ability to provide for you.
Neocons have briefly seen the Dark Side of the American Moon. And they do not like it, not at all.
I keep mulling over the likely course of the US/Russia confrontation we will see if HRC is elected. She will try to face down Putin, to no avail. Putin is a cool-headed and very capable strategic thinker and will have gamed-out the various scenarios. He will do what he has to do to prevent the situation getting out of hand. With that as a premise, I ask myself “How will he do that? What plan of action by Putin will prevent (or more crucially, halt) an out-of-control escalation?”
First and foremost of course is to put the entire Russian nation in a state of readiness. Civil defense for the civilian population, and defensive deployment and a highest state of readiness among both the conventional military and the strategic nuclear forces. That’s just the bedrock of strategic deterrence: eliminate the element of surprise and with it any hope of first-strike effectiveness.
But let’s say HRC gets militant and arrogant, and persuades herself — all those marvelous weapons and enthusiastic generals — that Putin will inevitably have to back down, and having thus persuaded herself, decides she can get away with attacking Russian forces in Syria. How will Putin be ready for that? What can he do?
I don’t much like indulging in this sort of speculation, because there are so many known unknowns that I can’t avoid feeling that I’m talking out my ass, and also because it appeals to my inner GI Joe.
That said, I stumbled upon a strategy that seemed to have a very compelling logic, so allow me to share it with you.
There are a number of relatively safe and semi-conventional — destructive and disabling but “non-lethal” — preventive attacks short of all out war: attacks that do not involve human casualties — electronic warfare, cyber warfare, destruction of the US satellite fleet, and a limited EMP attack to degrade/disable certain assets while simultaneously send a message.
Not very interesting.
But if Putin’s Russia and HRC’s Pentagon death machine are nose-to-nose, sphincters rigid, ready (various insane generals more or less enthusiastic) to destroy the world, what could stop that in its tracks?
The Russians are very discreet when it comes to issuing “threats”. They seem to favor a very light — dare I say “diplomatic” — touch, issuing an almost neutral assertion, but one that carries with it a cautionary element. Two have been issued recently: a little-noticed announcement that Russia plans a test of an airborne ***anti-satellite*** laser, and a comment from the Russian Ministry of Defense that a US attack on Syrian/ Russian forces would have “tectonic consequences” in the Mideast.
Focusing on the latter comment: what might these “tectonic consequences” entail? If the US and Russia are nose-to-nose, US psychopaths — HRC/Neocons/Pentagon — unwilling to back down, locked on a course to blow up the world, notwithstanding the threat of mutual annihilation, what could stop that seemingly unstoppable march to war?
Call me crazy, but if at that point Putin de-fangs or annihilates Israel with a brace of nuclear weapons, any confrontation between the US and Russia would come to a screeching halt. Where the US would certainly retaliate for a nuclear attack on the US, the end of the world notwithstanding, they would not commit suicide in response to an attack on Israel. And since all the problems in the Mideast, as well as the rising antagonism toward Russia, originate with Israel through the Neocon/AIPAC domination of US foreign policy — Oded Yinon plan and the Wolfowitz Doctrine — the destruction of Israel would — in a stroke — moot virtually the entire US foreign policy.
The destruction of Israel would not only eliminate the cancer at the heart of the “Clash of Civilizations”, but knock everyone back on their heels with an apocalypse-lite demonstration of what a full-on apocalypse would look like. Plus, the non-Jewish world would secretly be delighted to see the Zionists gone.
Okay, your turn.
Russia would be smart to get a lot of Chinese in Syria immediately . I think China sides with Russia on how to handle ISIS . Hillary has threatened to surround and isolate China like we have been doing to Russia .. China already knows how to knock satilites out of out space .Both of these countries were kind of forced together again after we humiliated them in Yugoslavia and Libya .. Both of these countries know the NWO has a lot of management plans for them too , that won’t be discussed with them before being implemented by the NWO

Drama queen.
How dare you expose our corruption and lies!
if Trump wins and they start a war or try to invalidate the result, some heads are gonna roll in this country.
Oct 7, 2016 Russia And US Prepare For War In Syria
Tensions continue to rise as the war drums for Syria beat louder and louder and in this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth shows how if the US intervenes any further, sending in ground troops and attacking Syrian military bases — the result could be a direct war with Russia, and perhaps even China.

Oct 7, 2016 American stupidity is worse than terrorism – Russia
Maria Zakharova, Russia’s Foreign Affairs spokesperson, lets loose on a Western journalist after she is asked “Why is Russia supporting Assad, who is killing civilians?”
https://youtu.be/NVoLgD1RIxE
And, after 40 years of attacks on schools and teachers, America has a great big pile of stupidity to call on.
The deep state — MIC, 1%, and Zionists (Neocons and AIPAC) — want to prevent a Trump presidency, so the cry goes out: “Putin did it.”
Will the Americans fall for this? We shall see.
“Will the Americans fall for this?”
Probably.
These Demoncrat criminals are the worst pos in Americas history.
Trump for POTUS!
This reminds me of the old saw “He who smelt it, dealt it”.
The only evidence they have of this, is that the Malware used might have been of Russian origin. Which would be like claiming that a bank robber who uses an AK-47 is working for the Russian Government.
The Malware has been around the hacking community for years and can be used by anyone.
I’m not sure which is more scary, the thought that this is an actual attempt to put pressure on Russia in regards to Syria and the Ukraine or the idea that they would try and pin something like this on Russia just to make Trump look bad.
the thing that is most scary to me is that Hillary is very happy and willing to completely trash relations with a nuclear power entirely for her own personal gain. Hillary wants to be President. If she pushes the world to the brink of nuclear war to get that, she doesn’t give a damn and will do it with a smile and a little dance. Hillary is so arrogant that she thinks she’ll get away with it no problem at all. Never mind that the nuclear scientists are warning that their Doomsday Clock is just about as close to midnight as its ever been. Hillary is perfectly willing to risk the world so she can be President and the Clinton family will rake in even more tens of millions of dollars.
Which is why I think its as easy as ABC …. Anybody But Clinton. Even @#%$@ Donald Trump if I need to.
Trump is our salvation from the Zionist dual citizens.
Do you not see they want no part of him,and that once he is elected,that he will pay these bastards back big time?
So he talks dirty.Sheesh.
The sheer desperation of the powers that be to shove Hillary down our throats is amazing.
This stuff makes NO sense anymore.
It makes a great deal of sense. Every time there is a revelation about how crooked and corrupt Hillary is, instead the Hillary camp starts screaming about the Russians. This time, the key point was that the Obama administration was actively helping Hillary deal with her email questions. And, the dot that is waiting to be connected is the question of whether or not the Obama crowd stepped on the investigation into all of this in order to protect Hillary. So, rather than have people start asking those questions …. Hillary and Obama and their minions start screaming nonsense about the Russians.
At times like this when it seems to make no sense, its also good to ask what might they be trying to distract and misdirect me away from with this stuff that makes no sense.
And after they go two decades without investigating whether Diebold or ESS is hacking elections.
Actually, that’s probably why Hillary has such a burr up he heiny about this. She’s already got plans to steal the election, and doesn’t want anyone else interfering.
After all, the Clintons are the one people we know were illegally tilting elections during the primaries against Bernie.
We know the US has interfered in Russian elections in the past. We know that US backed “NGO’s” were doing this in Russia until Putin threw them out. We know the US was trying to stage another color revolution there the last elections by trying to organize Maiden-like protests and trying to complain the vote was rigged.
A real journalist might ask a debate question along the lines of “This question is to both of you. Will you swear that you will not interfere in the 2018 Russian elections?”
Still no proof. The statement basically just says. “We think this is consistent with the stuff we made up in our heads about what the Russians might be doing.” That this usually seems to be a projection of what Hillary and the US are planning to do themselves doesn’t seem to occur to them. But, this whole statement was basically the administration illegally using its resources to help the Hillary campaign by pretending the that the Russians are doing what our fantasies think they’d be doing.
The only ‘proof’ I’ve seen so far is that this was routed through a small Russian server company. Of course, any hacker who isn’t brain dead stupid would first crack several such servers and then route the attack through them. Doing it through a Russian company was very smart, as the idiots with the Hillary campaign looked as far as seeing that Russian server and then proclaiming, see the Russians did it.
One thing we know right now is that Hillary and the Democrats are clueless idiots when it comes to cyber-security. So, the odds of them even understanding that a hacker would probably go through multiple such servers is way beyond their brain capacity. Hillary’s ancient Blackberry can’t handle would smoke and blow-up trying to figure that one out.
Well, they certainly missed everything that Diebold and ESS and other companies have been doing for decades. They missed that Florida was thrown in 2000. They missed that Ohio was thrown in 2004 (Bush/Cheney got more votes than there were registered voters in some counties …. while people in Cleveland had to stand in line all day for only a couple of voting machines).
I don’t think America has had an honest election in at least 20 years. And the Nixon people would have told you that the Daley Chicago machine threw the 1960 election.
Obama, being from Chicago, has probably never seen an honest election in his life.
What does revenge means? War with Russia?
Never in our nations history has our government been in the hands of such shallow rotten scum.
And the ziomonsters assault on Trump should wake any sane American from their slumber,but I’m sure those who love abuse will disagree.
The MSM want no part of Trump,and again,the enemy has never been so outrageously anti American than right now.
Open borders and no country,the Hell Bitches dream.
… and administration officials vowed to take revenge “at time and place of our choosing,” and that the public might not even know the revenge was done by the US.

I forgsat to add in my last comment…
What else do we ‘THE PUBLIC…not even know”? What else are they keeping from us, that the only possible way for WE THE PEOPLE have to find anything out is from a Julian Assange and Wikileaks, or an Edward Snowden or a Bradley/Chelsea Manning, or the next corrageous whistleblower…..WTF is REALLY being done in our name, without our consent or even knowlege? Is it all really to ‘keep us safe’ or is it something else? What exactly is the real agenda?
As HRC said it best, you just have to have both your public and private policy positions.
You don’t suppose the United States has tried to influence elections in foreign countries do you ? United States has even been accused of supporting and financing Coupes .
Hacking Hillary’s illegal servers and the DNC, is not “Hacking the Election” as Crooked Hillary and the Obama supporters claim.
