What We Don't Talk about When We Talk about Russian hacking (everyone should read this)

One thing we don't talk about, when we discuss Russian hacking, is Hillary's private e-mail server. Her private server was not as protected, from hackers, as it could have been, if it has been a part of the secure government network, subject to public record. If you add to this, the role of the Clintons and Russians in the Uranium deal, it is very likely the Russians would have attempted to hack Hillary's server, at the very least, to gain an advantage in that deal. This hack would have be relatively easy. It could have been done through an e-mail attachments connected to the large donation to the Clinton foundation. The offer of $150million,may have been a trojan horse and worth every penny to the Russians.

If you recall, what got the Democrats all worked up and organized for the collusion narrative, even after President Obama, said there is nothing to see here, was when Candidate Trump, made a joke and said, maybe we should ask the Russians, if they could find the lost e-mails. This may have been an insider secret that one was not supposed to say. It hit a nerve. This was quickly covered up with a counter offensive of collusion, designed to discredit both Trump and the Russians, so any evidence by either, would be made to appear tainted. The fast organized response seems to show this contingency was already planned out, due to the potential vulnerability.

I would also assume the FBI and the CIA also hacked the Hillary's server. They would have done so, at the very least, out of concern for national security, since a private server, overseen by one person, would be an easy target for any national hack team. The CIA and FBI, would be loyal to the country and administration, and would monitor traffic, to make sure secrets are not being intercepted or illegal entry is not occurring. Transcripts are on file, somewhere. These files place key players, in both the CIA and FBI, in precarious positions requiring survival mode.

Investigations in these areas would publicize secret/top secret/perhaps higher messages ergo the mess becomes classified and the function of a black hole for the public media follows. like Benghazi. Arms to ISIS through Turkey to Syria. I remember a reference to messages above top secret being referred to by an early investigation of Clinton's Sec'y State server. Then nothing.

Ever heard about Operation Gladio? I've heard about it before, but I never knew what it was until now. The fact that the elites in this country and in NATO are capable of that means that we live under a power that doesn't care for morality.

Capable of what exactly?

Operation Gladio was intended to be a Resistance movement in case of Russian occupation of Europe. Each nation would have their respective organization and each would operate relatively independently.

Is that that Gladio you speak of?

Trump was not the best we ever had, but he is getting there. He will go down as one of the best.

The Lurker:

From the perspective of the US state and its military branches, Russia is very much a threat to the USA and the wider post-WWII US Grand Area doctrine. The Russian thermonuclear arsenal and ballistic missile capacity (both land-based and sub-based) is a very real threat to America. The Russian Navy and Submarine forces are a growing threat since Russia under Vladimir Putin began rebuilding its offensive and defensive capacity after the collapse of the USSR and the follow-on disaster of the Yeltsin years. The Russian Land forces have proved a threat to western interests in the Russian near-abroad and as the US is the dominant member of NATO and a key driver in its westward expansion, it still perceives Russia as a very credible military threat. Russia's involvement and Putin's leadership in the Syrian Civil War is seen as very threatening to US hegemony over the Middle Eastern region as is Russia's closer ties and flourishing business expansion with Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq.

In the non-military world, Russia's participation and leadership in the creation and promotion of economic and financial mechanisms designed to weaken US domination over international commerce and finance is a threat to US commercial and financial hegemony. So, from the perspective of the US invisible empire and a mono-polar military global hegemon, Russia is most definitly a threat to US interests. The emergence of a grand, Eurasian, land-based, continental-wide, super-economy which the US cannot easily control, influence or interdict by naval or air power is perhaps the greatest emerging threat that Russia, in concert with China, India and the central Asian "Stan-states" along the Silk Road, poses to the US from an American POV. If you see world affairs as a zero-sum game (as the US leadership does), then all nations are a threat but some are more threatening than others. Russia falls into that latter category as far as the US leadership is concerned. It is selfish and xenophobic but it is also true.

Cheers.

I have absolutely zero problem with selfish, the xenophobic takes care of itself in other ways, but I live HERE, not in Russia, hence being selfish in that manner is common sense.

The world has been operating that way since before the Iron Age, yes indeed. Thank you for that.

If your answer neither discusses arms nor ISIS you are not addressing the question.

Who said you brought up ISIS? I brought up ISIS. In my question.

You responded to MY question about ISIS with YOUR nonsense not about ISIS.

If you don't wish to address my question please keep the non-sequitur nonsense to yourself.
 
I like the post, thanks.

It covered more then enough of the information that most of us that followed this whole fiasco already knew. However I was surprised to read and recall the same when the author mentioned comparing it to what we saw with "Bush's weapons of mass destruction brief" A very funny reminded to say the least.
