Kevin Shipp is a former CIA Officer. Why should you care? I
found an interview in which Shipp is confidant an indictment is in the works
that implicates Crooked Hillary and others.
As a Conservative who believes the Clintons have escaped
justice for decades, this welcome news. As a person that observed all elitist
Dems skate away from even the most obvious crimes, I’ll believe it when I see
it.
And yet Shipp’s credentials lend some hope he is correct:
Kevin Shipp is a
retired CIAspook and whistleblower.
He has exposed the US deep
stateand charged the CIAwith
systematically use of unconstitutional and illegal measures to terrorise
employees to prevent them from becoming whistleblowers. He has also charged
that "Hillary Clinton was running and is
running a global financial criminal syndicate. She was using these secret
servers to conduct Clinton financial money
laundering business."[1]
Background
Shipp was born in Laramie, Wyoming,
but his family moved to Falls Church, Virginia, where he has spent most of his
subsequent life. He studied at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, where
studied biology. Later he also obtained a master's degree in forensic psycho
physiology at the Department of Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment.[citation needed]
Career
"Kevin Shipp, former CIA
Officer and Anti Terrorism expert,
held several high level positions in the CIA. He was assigned as a protective
agent for the Director of Central Intelligence, a counterintelligence
investigator, team leader protecting sensitive CIA assets from assassination,
manager of high risk Counter Terrorism Center protective operations, lead
instructor for members of allied governments, internal staff security
investigator and a polygraph examiner tasked with protecting the CIA from
foreign agent penetration. He is the recipient of two CIA Meritorious Unit
Citations, three Exceptional Performance Awards and a Medallion for overseas
covert operations. Shipp also supervised the Department of State Anti Terrorism
Assistance program and managed the protective detail assigned to the president
of Afghanistan following the US invasion."[2][3]
Shipp says that what Hillary Clinton did with her
charity and Uranium One while she was Secretary of State was a crime
for the history books. Shipp explains, “Hillary Clinton used this to
launder money in foreign banks so it wasn’t subject to U.S. laws, congressional
subpoenas, or FOIA demands for the evidence. This was done to
launder this money globally into the Clinton Foundation so the U.S. government
could not examine it at all.”
++++++
Whistleblower and former CIA officer Kevin Shipp stated
clearly that indictments are coming for Hillary Clinton and the deep state
because Donald Trump cannot be bribed. In an interview with USA Watchdog‘s Greg Hunter, Shipp says
this deep state espionage will eventually be exposed to the public.
During his discussion with Hunter, Shipp says that whatHillary
Clinton did with her charity and Uranium One while she was
Secretary of State was a crime for the history books. Shipp
explains, “Hillary Clinton used this to launder money in foreign banks so it
wasn’t subject to U.S. laws, congressional subpoenas, or FOIA demands for the
evidence. This was done to launder this money globally into the
Clinton Foundation so the U.S. government could not examine it at all.”
How did Hillary Clinton get away
with obvious crime with her unprotected server and the shady Uranium One deal? Shipp
says, “The most bizarre thing is the people who protected her from clear
felonious activity and violations of the Espionage Act. James Clapper, Director
of National Intelligence, was protecting her and leaking things to the media
and lying. You had John Brennan, Director of the CIA, protecting her by
starting a false investigation (on Trump) and stirring things up with this
(false/unverified) dossier. You had James Comey, Director of the FBI,
protecting her. . . . Then, you’ve got Peter Strzok protecting her, and now it
appears the United Kingdom GCHQ was using NSA information to target Donald
Trump and protect Hillary Clinton. You have to ask yourself … READ THE REST]
“Obviously [Hillary’s] not stupid, she is diabolical,”
says Shipp of Hillary Clinton’s decision to have an unsecured server as
Secretary of State. “She knew darn well what she was doing…the Clinton
Foundation is a global crime syndicate.”
Shipp continued saying, “we just found out
recently that…at least 30,000 of her emails went to a foreign entity that was
not on any of the distribution lists…they’re trying to figure out who that is
now…this reeks of espionage to me.”
“The most bizarre thing is the
people who protected her from clear felonious activity and violations of the
Espionage Act. James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, was
protecting her and leaking things to the media and lying. You had John
Brennan, Director of the CIA, protecting her by starting a false investigation
(on Trump) and stirring things up with this (false/unverified) dossier.
You had James Comey, Director of the FBI, protecting her. . . . Then, you’ve
got Peter Strzok protecting her, and now it appears the United Kingdom GCHQ was
using NSA information to target Donald Trump and protect Hillary
Clinton. You have to ask yourself what kind of power or connections
does this woman have to get all of these members of the Deep State, Shadow
Government to risk their own criminal penalties to protect her and try to get
her elected? That is the Shadow Government. That is the Deep
State. That is what is so chilling about this whole thing. . . . This is
deep. This is dark. This is as dark as it gets, and this is the
biggest espionage case involving government officials in the history of this
country.” -Kevin Shipp
Hunter then brings up the concerns most Americans have: no
one will go to jail because the government will never implicate themselves. In
response, Shipp points out that, this time, it will not be business as usual
for the “Deep State and Shadow Government.” It is
possible that the people involved in this massive espionage case will charges.
They are going to be brought to justice because Shipp says, “indictments are
coming because of Donald Trump coming into the White House from the
outside. Trump cannot be bribed.”

Robin Rosenblatt at the G+ Community United We Stand!! Posted an interesting video attributed
to “Anonymous” that shows a strong argument that there is a enough evidence to
investigate and probably prosecute members of the Obama Administration. It
begins with Huma Abedin following through many alleged Dem Party probable
crimes which includes one of the most under-reported stories by MSM on the Seth Rich murder cover-up.
A bonus video is The Next News Network comments on
Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton talking about Obama corruption (Hat Tip: Cynthia
Derrick Juengel).
Sub for more: http://nnn.is/the_new_media | Cristina Laila for the
Gateway Pundit reports, as was previously reported, Judicial Watch announced
that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter
that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor
Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump
presidential campaign or transition team” were removed from government
possession.
Since September 11, 2001 I have been very supportive of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) siding
on the side of Security looking for foreigners with Islamic terrorist
sympathies. Which means I was ok with Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) secret warrants to into domestic
suspects that were foreign culprits or aiding and abetting Islamic terrorist
sympathizers. I was quite ignorant that FISC was created by FISA by an act of
Congress in 1978.
Even though I am
not a great mathematician, it is not hard to figure out 1978 is way before
2001. That means the government was given legal authority to spy on Americans
before Islamic terrorism. This is a HUGE Fourth Amendment violation issue.
The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but
upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The issue with a FISA secret warrant is that it fails with “probable
cause” and/or “particularly describing the place to be searched, and the
persons or things to be seized.”
Much to the Leftists horror, I do not believe foreigners
deserve the full scope of the 4th Amendment as do U.S. Citizens. Thus
I am good with secret warrants on potential foreign adversaries of the U.S.
Government and adversaries American citizens that should benefit from the full
protections a citizen is entitled to.
But another sketchy issue has arisen largely to the
admittance of Muslim immigrants and refugees into the USA. That sketchy issue
is that 2nd generation sons and daughters of the original Muslim
immigrants and refugees have become U.S. citizens (naturalized and natural
born) entitled to the full protections the citizenry deserves.
Now that I am convinced that Obama ordered the intel
organizations to spy on Americans for political reasons more than to protect
Americans from Islamic terrorists or foreign spies, FISA needs to be abolished
OR at the very least reformed to conform to the intent of the Fourth Amendment.
Judge Andrew P. Napolitano more eruditely explains the constitutional
ramifications of FISA secret warrants and the operation of FISC.
"The makers of our
Constitution ... conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let
alone — the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized
men." — Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928
After the Watergate era had ended and Jimmy Carter was in
the White House and the Senate's Church Committee had attempted to grasp the
full extent of lawless government surveillance in America during the LBJ and
Nixon years, Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. FISA
declared that it provided the sole source for federal surveillance in America
for intelligence purposes.
FISA required that all domestic intelligence surveillance be
authorized by a newly created court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court. Since 1978, FISC has met in secret. Its records are unavailable to the
public unless it determines otherwise, and it hears only from Department of
Justice lawyers and National Security Agency personnel. There are no lawyers or
witnesses to challenge the DOJ or the NSA.
Notwithstanding this handy constitutional novelty, the NSA
quickly grew impatient with its monitors and began crafting novel arguments
that were met with no resistance. Those arguments did away with the kind of
particularized probable cause about targets of surveillance that the
Constitution requires in favor of warrants based on the probability that
someone somewhere in a given group could provide intelligence data helpful to
national security, and because the FISC bought these arguments, the entire
group could be spied upon. The FISC unleashed the NSA to spy on tens of
millions of Americans.
That was still not enough for the nation's spies. So
beginning in 2005, then-President George W. Bush permitted the NSA to interpret
President Ronald Reagan's executive order 12333 so as to allow all spying on
everyone in the U.S., all the time. The NSA and Bush took the position that
because the president is constitutionally the commander in chief of the
military and because the NSA is in the military, both the president and the NSA
are lawfully independent of FISA.
The NSA does not acknowledge any of this, but we know from
the Edward Snowden revelations and from the testimony of a former high-ranking
NSA official who devised many of the NSA programs that this is so.
The NSA's use of FISC-issued warrants is only one of a
half-dozen tools that the NSA uses, but it is the only tool that the NSA
publicly acknowledges. FISC-issued warrants do not name a person as a suspect;
they name a category. For example, it could be customers of Verizon, which
includes 115 million people. It could be telephones and computers located at
721-725 Fifth Ave. in New York; that's Trump Tower. It could be all electronic
devices in the 10036 ZIP code; that's midtown Manhattan.
When the NSA obtains a FISA warrant and captures a
communication, the participants often mention a third person. The federal
"minimization" statute requires the NSA to get a warrant before
surveilling that third person. Last week, we learned that last month, the FISC
rebuked the NSA for failing to minimize by continuing to surveil third parties
to the sixth degree without warrants.
Here is an example of warrantless surveillance to the sixth
degree. The NSA surveils A and B pursuant to a FISC-issued warrant; A and B
discuss C; the NSA, without a warrant, surveils C talking to D; C mentions E,
and D mentions F; the NSA surveils E and F without warrants, etc. This
continues going out to six stops from the A-and-B conversation, even though
this is prohibited by federal law. The final stop, which involves huge numbers
of people, has been proved to have no connection whatsoever to the warrant
issued for A and B, yet the NSA continues to spy there.
But it doesn't stop there. The Bush interpretation of EO
12333 is still followed by the NSA. Its logic — "I am the commander in
chief, and I'll do what I need to do to keep us safe, and the NSA can do what I
permit" — permits universal surveillance in flagrant violation of FISA and
the Constitution. It was used to justify the surveillance of Donald Trump
before he was inaugurated. It no doubt still is.
The availability of the information acquired by this massive
spying is a serious threat to democracy. We know from the Susan Rice
admissions that folks in the government can acquire intelligence-generated data
— emails, text messages, recordings of telephone conversations — and use that
data for political purposes. Just ask former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
And we know from recent tragedies in San Bernardino and
Orlando, even Manchester, that the NSA is suffering from information overload.
It has too much data to sift through because it does not focus on the bad guys
until after the tragedies. Before the tragedies, it has no focus.
The now public rebuke of the NSA by the FISC is
extraordinary, but it is also a farce. The FISC is virtually owned by the NSA.
That court has granted 99.9 percent of requests made by the NSA since the court
was created. Despite all the public revelations, the FISC looks the other way
at non-FISC-authorized NSA spying. The judges of the FISC have become virtual
clerks for the NSA. And the FISC has become an unconstitutional joke.
Where does all this leave us? It leaves us with a public
recognition that we are the most spied-upon people in world history and that
the president himself has been a victim. This fall, the NSA will ask Congress
to reauthorize certain spying authorities that are due to expire at the end of
the year. Congress needs to know just how unconstitutional, intrusive and
fruitless all this spying has become.
Perhaps then Congress will write laws that are faithful to
the Constitution — and if so, maybe the folks empowered by those laws will
follow them.

The Left Stream Media is still hysterically chasing Fake
News or more essentially anti-Trump propaganda, desperately trying to impugn
the Administration that voters in a majority of States elected to Office.
AND YET this same Leftist MSM is suspiciously silent
on the ever-increasing information that treasonous President Barack Hussein
Obama had spying on the American people he considered enemies before his
reelection to President in 2012.
I found a Legal Insurrection news piece that displays
declassified FISA documents about FISA Court rebuking Obama a mere two-weeks
before the 2012 election cycle for spying on Americans via the National
Security Agency (NSA).
You and I should wonder if the Obama domestic spying coupled
with his Administration’s open lies about the Benghazi attacks would have
changed that election victory toward Mitt Romney.
Obama has lied his way to every one of his election
victories AND the MSM has been in – wait for it – in collusion
with those lies that gullible voters were ensnared to favor Obama.
A Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) Court ruling was declassified and released this week.
Therulingreveals that the
Obama administration engaged in widespread violation of NSA surveillance rules.
The Obama administration was reprimanded by the FISA court for illegal searches
that constitute “very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”
According to previously classified
documents, this admission of methodical and long-term violations of Americans’
Constitutional rights was made on October 26th of 2016.
The
National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama routinely violated
American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and
failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before
Donald Trump was elected president last fall, according to once top-secret documents
that chronicle some of the most serious constitutional abuses to date by the
U.S. intelligence community.
More
than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data
on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the
safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011, according
to one classified internal report reviewed by Circa.
The
Obama administration self-disclosed the problems at a closed-door hearing Oct.
26 before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that set off alarm. Trump
was elected less than two weeks later.
The FISA court sanctioned
administration officials and ruled that the searches constitute a “very serious
Fourth Amendment issue.”
Circa continues:
The
normally supportive court censured administration officials, saying the failure
to disclose the extent of the violations earlier amounted to an “institutional
lack of candor” and that the improper searches constituted a “very serious
Fourth Amendment issue,” according to a recently unsealed court document dated
April 26, 2017.
Upstream collections refers
to data routes between computer networks as opposed to those communications
intercepted by Internet service providers. Even these collections
and the distribution of collected and unmasked data, however, are not permitted
to be handled in a manner that violates Americans’ Fourth Amendment privacy
rights.
As
the FISA court explains, upstream collection refers to the interception of
communications “as they transit the facilities of an Internet backbone
carrier.” These are the data routes between computer networks. The routes are
hosted by government, academic, commercial, and similar high-capacity network
centers, and they facilitate the global, international exchange of Internet
traffic. Upstream collection from the Internet’s “backbone,” which accounts for
about 9 percent of the NSA’s collection haul (a massive amount of
communications), is distinguished from interception of communications from more
familiar Internet service providers.
Upstream
collection is a vital tool for gathering intelligence against foreign threats
to the United States. It is, of course, on foreign intelligence
targets — non-U.S. persons situated outside the U.S. — that
the NSA and CIA are supposed to focus. Foreign agents operating inside the
U.S. are mainly the purview of the FBI, which conducts surveillance of their
communications through warrants from the FISA court — individualized warrants
based on probable cause that a specific person is acting as an agent of a
foreign power.
. .
. . In a nutshell, it is not possible to capture a single e-mail related to a
single target as it transits the backbone routes (or “switches”) that connect
networks. The NSA must instead capture packets of e-mail data — which include
lots of e-mails beside the targeted e-mail. It sifts through these packets,
finds and assembles the components of the email it was looking for, and then
discards the rest. (A New York Times report by Charlie Savage
earlier this week, in connection with a different FISA issue, provides a good
explanation of this process.
By
contrast, the relevant discussion in the FISA court opinion of “multiple
communications transactions,” or MCTs, is brief and heavily redacted — see the
opinion at 15–16.) Even if the NSA does exactly what it is supposed to do
(i.e., sift and discard), this means American communications are being seized
and subjected to an inspection — however cursory — in the absence of any
warrant, probable cause, or foreign-intelligence relevance.
According to Circa, the ACLU responds to the “appalling lack of
oversight” in our nation’s intelligence agencies.
The
American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are some of
the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into question the U.S.
intelligence community’s ability to police itself and safeguard American’s
privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections
against unlawful search and seizure.
“I
think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these
programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in
Washington.
The
lack of coverage by the Big Three, and the liberal media in general shows their
bias against Trump and their favoritism to Obama. They rather focus on alleged
accusations that so far have bared little fruit, instead of the legal opinion
of federal judges exposing the highly illegal actions of a segment of President
Obama’s administration.

Is Trump/Russia Fake News
More Important than Obama Spying?
Tony Newbill’s theme in this post is the Dem fake news of
Trump/Russia collusion to win the 2016 election as POTUS. Even though some of
this info is old news, too many people listen to the Leftist Mainstream Media
(MSM) as gospel truth.
There is some treason going on here. I pray criminal
activities are revealed so the American people can learn that the Dems main

which includes a warning that there are pedophilia rings, the Clintons have a

by outright censorship or by falsely impugning reputations of those exposing
pedophilia. Take some time to watch the entire Alex Jones video.
According to the New York Times,
FBI Director James Comey is reported to be requesting the President Trump
Department of Justice to refute the possibility of the FBI having intercepted
communications from Trump Tower in the latest “Wire Tapping” denial.
So lets [sic] give this request by
Director Comey some context.
It was only a few weeks ago when
the same FBI went to President Trump’s Chief of Staff and told Reince Priebus
there was no truth to media reports, based on FBI leaks, of FBI
evidence showing Trump campaign officials involved with Russian officials
regarding the 2016 election. It was all a complete nothingburger.
Details–
On February 15th while discussing another issue FBI Assistant Director Andrew
McCabe asked Reince for 5 minutes alone after the meeting. At the
one-on-one meeting McCabe told Priebus the New York Times Russia and Trump
campaign story was a “bunch of BS”.
Priebus asked McCabe if McCabe would
be able to say that publicly and get the media off his back about a
ridiculously false narrative. Asst. Director McCabe said he would check
with his boss, FBI Director James Comey. Later, McCabe called back and
said he couldn’t issue a statement about it.
Reince Priebus was simply asking
for the FBI to give truthful information about the false reports to the
public. The White House was asking Comey to deliver transparency.
Quote from the FBI to Priebus: “We’d
love to help, but we can’t get into the position of making statements on every
story”.
Oh, but now, when there are “false
wire-tapping reports” about Director Comey, now, N.O.W he
wants the Trump administration, via the DOJ, to help him out and deny the FBI
had any involvement in surveillance of Trump Tower, candidate Donald Trump or
President-Elect Donald Trump.
Now, when it fits Comey’s preferred
sensibility. Now he wants a clear and transparent record. The
hypocrisy is thick with this guy.

Screw you James Comey!
My advice to President Trump and
team would be for them to tell Director Comey to go …READ ENTIRETY (Screw You James Comey – What’s Good For

In the case of President Donald Trump, …
the president’s claims that he was wiretapped, that is, illegally spied
upon, by his predecessor’s administration, former President Barack Obama.
As I have written in this Newsmax
blog and elsewhere particularly of late, my client, former NSA and CIA
contractor Dennis Montgomery, holds the keys to disproving the false claims of
those representatives and senators on the House and Senate intelligence
committees, reportedly as well as FBI Director James Comey, that there is no
evidence that the president and his men were wiretapped.
Montgomery left the NSA and CIA
with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which is
classified, and sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate
government entities, including congressional intelligence committees, to expose
that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance
on prominent Americans, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other
justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and even
yours truly. Working side by side with Obama's former Director of National
Intelligence (DIA), James Clapper, and Obama's former Director of the CIA, John
Brennan, Montgomery witnessed “up close and personal” this “Orwellian Big
Brother” intrusion on privacy, likely for potential coercion, blackmail or
other nefarious purposes.

[Blog Editor: The next paragraph
is the part of the Newsmax report Newbill focused on in the email.]
…
Under grants of immunity, which I obtained through Assistant U.S. Attorney
Deborah Curtis, Montgomery produced the hard drives and later was interviewed
under oath in a secure room at the FBI Field Office in the District of
Columbia. There he laid out how persons like then-businessman Donald Trump were
illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama
administration. He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting
in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, which illegal tampering
resulted in helping Obama to win the White House.
This interview, conducted and
videoed by Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett, occurred
almost two years ago, and nothing that I know of has happened since. It would
appear that the FBI’s investigation was buried by Comey, perhaps because the
FBI itself collaborates with the spy agencies to conduct illegal surveillance.

What does Hillary Clinton, CrowdStrike, Ukraine Russian
Conflict and Russian Hacking have to do with one another????
WASHINGTON — An
influential British think tank and Ukraine’s military are disputing a report
that the U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has used to buttress its claims of
Russian hacking in the presidential election.
The CrowdStrike report,
released in December, asserted that Russians hacked into a Ukrainian
artillery app, resulting in heavy losses of howitzers in Ukraine’s war with
Russian-backed separatists.
But the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)
told VOA that CrowdStrike erroneously used IISS data as proof of the intrusion.
IISS disavowed any connection to the CrowdStrike report. Ukraine’s Ministry of
Defense also has claimed combat losses and hacking never happened.
Alperovitch, a Russian expatriate
and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council policy research center in Washington,
co-founded CrowdStrike in 2011. The firm has employed two former FBI
heavyweights: Shawn Henry, who oversaw global cyber investigations at the
agency, and Steven Chabinsky, who was the agency's top cyber lawyer and served
on an Obama White House cybersecurity commission in 2016. Chabinsky left
CrowdStrike last year.
…
In a January post on LinkedIn,
Carr called CrowdStrike’s evidence in the Ukraine “flimsy.” He told VOA in an
interview that CrowdStrike mistakenly assumed that the X-Agent malware employed
in the hacks was a reliable fingerprint for Russian actors.
“We now know that’s false,” he
said, “and that the source code has been obtained by others outside of
Russia." –READ ENTIRETY (Think

Crowdstrike’s Danger Close

importantly, it has harmed the morale of the people of Ukraine as well as cast
doubt in the minds of the Ukrainian soldiers who relied upon the artillery app

of an 80% loss rate of Ukraine’s D-30 artillery caused in part by a variant of

The Ministry of Ukraine denies the

Crowdstrike, the cybersecurity
company working for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), released a report
tying “Russian hacking” to an incident that never happened, yet even after the
report had been debunked, FBI Director James Comey still referred to
Crowdstrike as a “highly respected private company” at a Senate hearing.
By issuing a still-unrestricted
report about an incident that never happened and then tying it to the alleged
Russian hacks that Democrats claim tipped the elections for Pres. Trump, the
DNC-employed Crowdstrike’s credibility deserves to be called into question,
however, despite excellent reporting by cybersecurity expert Jeffrey Carr,
Bloomberg’s Leonid Bershidsky,
and Voice of America reporter Oleksiy Kuzmenko,
the media has ignored the story and continued to cite Crowdstrike’s work… even after the Ukrainian
Defense Ministry issued a statement on January 6th, 2017 refuting Crowdstrike’s
claims.
Even more troubling than the media
malfeasance about the discredited Crowdstrike report, in testimony in front of
the Senate intelligence committee on January 10 – four days after the Ukrainian
DOD denied Crowdstrike’s report — Director Comey admitted that the FBI had been
denied access to the DNC servers and praised Crowdstrike, without mentioning
that they worked for the DNC or that their recent report had been debunked.

If Henry’s statement to the Washington
Post seems more political than technical, that’s because Crowdstrike
was being utilized by their clients at the Democratic National Committee to put
out a narrative about Russian hacking to use against the Trump campaign. As

Esquire magazine, starting in June 2016 the DNC used Crowdstrike
executives Alperovitch and Henry as part of an anti-Trump publicity plan

CrowdStrike has
failed in a bid to prevent the NSS Labs endpoint security
report from going public at RSA after a court in Delaware refused to side with
the firm's arguments.
The CrowdStrike Falcon Host, which aims to combine
"next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response and proactive
features" to keep enterprise systems secure, is the product NSS Labs
included in both public and private testing.
However, it is allegations of
underhanded tactics and alleged poor testing methods which are at the heart of
the matter -- rather than the results themselves.

On February 13, the Federal Court
denied CrowdStrike's bid, allowing NSS Labs to go ahead and release the results
of the endpoint tests.

The endpoint security report,
available to subscribers, analyzed the security of 13 vendors which offer
endpoint protection solutions.
The vendors included in the report
were Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, ESET, Fortinet, Invincea, Kaspersky,
Malwarebytes, McAfee, SentinelOne, Sophos, Symantec, and Trend Micro.
Out of the 13, nine received a
"Recommend" rating, one received "Security Recommended,"
one was "Neutral" and two were in "Caution."

While 11 products were granted an
"above average" value, two were rated as having a "below

According to the subscription-only
report, obtained by ZDNet, the Falcon Host received an overall security
effectiveness rating of 73.2 percent and a score of 99 percent for evasion
techniques tested. After what NSS Labs calls "initial tuning," the
company's solution did not alert on false positives during testing.
As a result, the CrowdStrike Falcon

Why didn't Hillary Clinton’s DNC let the FBI Look at the
Servers …?
Sent 3/29/2017 12:06 PM
We need to start asking this question .... Why didn't
Hillary Clinton’s DNC let the FBI Look at the Servers that the DNC said were
Hacked by Russians???????
As of today, many months after the election, no one has put
forth any evidence that Russia hacked anything related to the election
whatsoever. None. The closest thing anyone has even resembling evidence is the
word of CrowdStrike, the company hired by the DNC to investigate their servers,
after someone released emails showing that Democratic party officials had been
working behind the scenes to discredit and disable the Bernie Sanders campaign.
There are several problems with the CrowdStrike angle
however. The first problem, is that the DNC refused to allow the FBI to look at
the servers themselves. The FBI instead just took their word for it. The second
problem is that CrowdStrike has a SIGNIFICANT conflict of interest in this
situation. Google is a major stakeholder in CrowdStrike, and Eric Schmidt the
Executive Chairman of Alphabet (the parent company of Google) was working
directly on the Clinton campaign effort. He was providing tech assistance, he
drew up her campaign plan, and he was even photographed wearing a “staff” badge
in an exclusive area during election night.
Furthermore, the anti-Russian angle peddled by CrowdStrike
was premised on the “fact” that the malware used in the attack was of Russian
origin. As any security expert will tell you, once malware is used in the wild,
anyone can pick it up and use it (including other state actors).
To bolster their claim, CrowdStrike attempted to draw
parallels to a supposed hack on Ukrainian artillery communications that used
the same technique. That however, blew up in their face when both the Ukrainian
military and the International Institute for Strategic Studies came forward to
debunk their assessment.
Then there is the fact that Wikileaks has been very clear
about the fact that their source was NOT Russian.
“We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that
our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party,”
The rabbit hole on this topic goes deeper, and clearly there
is room for a lively debate, but it takes a willful act of intellectual dishonesty
to treat it as a slam dunk case where the villain is clearly defined.
Anyone who has studied crowd psychology knows that one of
the most important principles of ideological contagion is repetition. It
doesn’t matter if something is true or false. If you repeat something enough
times people will start believing it. Once an idea becomes an accepted belief,
it takes on characteristics of religious orthodoxy. To question becomes heresy.
This article is not intended to alter your position in
regard to Donald Trump in any way. Whether you love him or hate him isn’t an
issue of global importance, nor is his political survival relevant to this
analysis. Some of the tactics being used in the push to take Trump down
however, are.
THE STAKES
Before we dive into the quagmire
that the topic of of Russia, Trump and the 2016 elections has become, it
behoves [sic] us to anchor to the stakes: Russia is a nuclear power. The
demonization of foreign nations is a precursor to war, and even a limited
conflict between the United States and Russia would kill millions (if not
billions) of people; rendering much of the planet uninhabitable for
decades. Using U.S. Russian relations as a political football in this
context is foolish and irresponsible.
THE TRUMP VARIABLE
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential
campaign made tying Trump to Russia a central pillar of their messaging
strategy. This line of attack was predicated on comments made by Trump over the
years expressing respect for Putin. …
…
Clinton used these and other statements to
weave the narrative that Trump is “Putin’s
puppet”. The mainstream media, and left-leaning blogosphere took
that narrative and ran with it. Those who didn’t were labeled “fake news”, and
attacked as collaborators. The goal was to capitalize on existing anti-Russian
sentiment by attaching it to Trump and his supporters (and to pressure those on
the fence distance themselves).
…
THE RUSSIAN HACKING ALLEGATIONS
…
Now playing loose and fast with the
facts for political purposes is a mainstay of American partisanship, but when
foreign policy gets thrown into the mix, and “leaders” start accusing a nuclear
power of “an act of war” the
facts matter.
As of today, many months after the
election, no one has put forth any evidence that Russia hacked anything related
to the election whatsoever. None. The closest thing anyone has
even resembling evidence is the word of CrowdStrike, the company hired by the
DNC to investigate their servers, after someonereleased emails showing
that Democratic party officials had been working behind the scenes to discredit
and disable the Bernie Sanders campaign.
There are several problems with the
CrowdStrike angle however. The first problem, is that the DNC refused to allow
the FBI to look at the servers themselves. The FBI instead just took their word
for it. The second problem is that CrowdStrike has a SIGNIFICANT conflict of
interest in this situation. Google is a major stakeholder in
CrowdStrike, and Eric Schmidt the Executive Chairman of Alphabet
(the parent company of Google) was working directly on the Clinton campaign
effort. He was providing tech assistance,
he drew up her campaign
plan, and he was even photographed wearing a “staff” badge in an
exclusive area during election night.
…
THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES
The short term political utility of
tying Trump to Russia has blinded many on the left to the long term effect such
a strategy is bound to have. Consider for a moment the implications of an
entire generation being raised in the United States right now marinating in
news and commentary which frames Russia as enemy number #1 (or #2 depending on
where Trump supposedly fits). The facts and specifics won’t matter to these
formative minds. It all boils down to sentiment. This sentiment can (and likely
will) be used in ways that those fomenting it never imagined.
It is a strategic error to assume
anti-Russian propaganda will always work in the favor of the political left.
Remember the original Mccarthyism. Neocon Republicans like John Mccain [Blog
Editor: I don’t agree with the author that McCain is a Neocon. Regardless of
the propaganda Neocons are patriots that used to be Leftists. McCain is a
downright GOP Establishment RINO] and Mike Pence [Blog Editor: VP Pence
is hardly a Neocon. He has been a Conservative values Christian most of – if not
all – his political career.] would like nothing more than a chance to clip
Putin’s wings, and in the right context that’s exactly what they would attempt
to do. By linking Russia to Trump (arguably one of the most hated political
figures in American history) the left is unwittingly laying the psychological
groundwork for war.
If and when the moment comes where
a Republican president decides to escalate tensions with Moscow (by direct or
proxy intervention), “progressives” will find themselves in an extremely
uncomfortable dilemma: either they get carried along with their enemies in the
wave of anti-Russian sentiment they helped create, or they try to reverse tack
and play opposition.
Reversing tack wouldn’t be easy
under any circumstances, but in the midst of a crisis it would be all but
impossible, and such protests would be easily shot down with snippets of their
own words. Hypocrisy is after all, a vulnerability in and of itself. –READ ENTIRETY (DEMONIZING

under another pseudonym he uses more often these days: Tommy Tunes. The thing
is I don’t remember the comment other than it was a bit out of place for the
post it was on. Perhaps Tony/Tommy removed the comment. Nevertheless, the
comment pointed to an Alex Jones video of an episode of InfoWars
devoted entirely to elitist pedophilia. In the 1:34:27 episode Jones clarifies
his disavowal of Pizzagate but only as it pertains to the pizzerias themselves.
The clarification is that Leftist pedophiles of the Dem Party/Crooked Hillary

conversations undoubtedly took place in the largely ignorant pizzerias. I
