Comment: And why, exactly, would Russia waste time, personnel and money planting child porn on computers when everyone who indulges in this sicko pastime is perfectly capable of accessing it themselves. Oh, yeah, "I didn't do it, Russia framed me and the 'bear' ate my homework."
During the hearing, held by the Senate Intelligence Committee, Clapper said he believes Russia is still engaged in cyber operations and has tried to influence a 'couple of dozen' elections in different countries. When asked how Germany, France and the Netherlands had increased security for their upcoming elections, Clapper said he could not say.
Clapper said, however, that much of the report must remain closed to protect sensitive sources and the methods by which they gathered information. He said hacking conclusions were made based on 'human sources, technical collection and open source information'.
Comment: Of course we can't prove the following but...
- Sensitive source: his office
- Human sources: group think
- Technical collection: all raised hands
- Open source information: we do it so must they
Clapper said that he believes Russia made moves to support Donald Trump in the presidential election because 'he'd be easier to make deals with' than the Democrats.
US intelligence agencies on Friday released an assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a covert effort to help Republican Trump's electoral chances by discrediting Clinton. The report, which omitted classified details, was the US government's starkest public description of what it says was a Russian effort to manipulate the American electoral process by leaking hacked emails from Democrats.
Comment: Notice the new word "leaking" conjoined to "hacked emails." They DO read alt news, but sadly without comprehension.
Russia has denied interfering in the election but President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian suspected spies from the United States and imposed sanctions on two Russian intelligence agencies last month in response to the allegations. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a news conference on Tuesday those penalties were 'a start and not the end' of US retaliation for the hacks, and senior officials have suggested covert action may be taken.
Comment: The 'spies' were diplomats, their spouses and children. Another 'I think it so therefore it is true.'
Trump has disputed the accusations of Russian cyber attacks during the election, but his incoming chief of staff said on Sunday that the New York businessman accepts the US intelligence community's conclusions that Russia was responsible, and that further action may be taken against Moscow.
Funny how TPTW set up their narrative in advance so that when child porn is actually found on computers people will inevitably question who put it there.
But many people believe (because of the many whispered stories over hundreds of years), that some of TPTW have bizarre tastes in the pedo dept. TPTW think it gives them power. On the contrary, spiritually speaking, it is a shocking abuse of trust, of privilege, position and power that is bound to backfire, so to speak, either here or there.
