See if you can notice something familiar?
♦ NBC: “A senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge confirmed to NBC News that the report on Russian hacking delivered to President Obama Thursday says that U.S. intelligence picked up senior Russian officials celebrating Donald Trump’s win.
The source described the intelligence about the celebration, first reported by the Washington Post, as a minor part of the overall intelligence report, which makes the case that Russia intervened in the election”. (more)
♦ WaPo: “Senior officials in the Russian government celebrated Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton as a geopolitical win for Moscow, according to U.S. officials who said that American intelligence agencies intercepted communications in the aftermath of the election in which Russian officials congratulated themselves on the outcome (more)
This MSM construct is almost identical to how the entire Russian Conspiracy Narrative originated a month ago:
FLASHBACK: […] In essence, the MSM takes a politically manipulated original intelligence claim and pushes a political media angle within a manufactured story of their own creation.
When the media reports on their own media reports the concentric circle of a self fulfilling narrative expands toward the infinite horizon of nothingness.
Reminder: ♠ The Washington Post is the MSM media outlet for the CIA. ♦ CNN is the MSM media outlet for the U.S. State Department. ♣ Bloomberg is the MSM media outlet specializing in the Mamet Principle, and gaslighting…. and ♦ AP / Reuters / NBC and Alphabets are typical leftist MSM.

Better yet. If Trump wants to squelch this whole “Russia did it” thing, he should invite Putin to the White House on Jan. 30th for a news conference. Meet with Putin and get Putin to make statements about how our media has been lying about the entire “hacking” crap and have Putin assure Trump and the American public that they had absolutely no involvement in any so-called “hacking” of our elections. Get Putin to recognize that they are thrilled to have Trump as our next President and that Russia will now begin to work with America on a geopolitical scale to help to solve problems of the Middle East, Crimea, Ukraine and the Philippines, and that Russia wishes to work with the United States to foster solutions to benefit all.
That would put an end to the whole “Russia dunnit” and put the liberal pukes on their heads.

I am hopeful that Trump can turn Russia into a strong US ally! .. Russia would be far better off that way, and the US would also stand to gain greatly from such a relationship. Just have to keep Russia from invading its neighbors. If they had good economic and trade incentive to do so, it would not be a stretch to say that Russia would be willing to travel down that road. Just think of the boom to the country of Russia and its neighbors if such a relationship could occur.

Tech Company Casts Doubt On DHS/FBI Russian Hacking Report
In a series of FAQs published Monday, Maunder continued to criticize the DHS/FBI report. He said TechFence reviewed IP addresses that the DHS said were behind hacking efforts and found that they “belong to over 380 organizations and many of those organizations are well known website hosting providers from where many attacks originate. There is nothing in the IP data that points to Russia specifically.”
Cybersecurity expert Jeffrey Carr wrote in a blog post, “OK. Raise your hand if you think that a GRU or FSB officer would add Iron Felix’s name to the metadata of a stolen document before he released it to the world while pretending to be a Romanian hacker.”

here’s some snips from the actual blog post made by Wordfence – hey have developed a security product for WordPress sites (ie CTH); Daily Caller called them ‘TechFence’:
they provide a chart that shows a distribution of IP’s by country – the top 6 in order are:
1) USA
2) Russia
3) Netherlands
4) Germany
5) France
6) China
They go on to look at the IP’s by ISP and note:
It is well known that US Intel is the majority owner of Tor exit nodes in the world and they monitor the traffic that goes through these nodes constantly.
Their conclusion:
The amount of IP’s that are associated with Tor exit nodes sticks out like a sore thumb. It have been speculated in a number of tech blogs and forums that there is a strong possibility that the NSA or a contractor of NSA was/is involved in these “hacks”. The Tor exit nodes do seem to lend some credit to this hypothesis. The only thing tying this to the Russian’s are some old outdated malicious code.
My belief is that this entire report has been created to appear, to any laymen, as if Russia is the culprit just for plausible deniability. If there is any truth in the report re: the code and IP’s, I tend to lean towards an inside actor (US based) or a pretty creative hacking group that is doing this all the time to sell info on the deep web black market. There is also the very real possibility that this is a completely made up report designed by CIA/NSA black hats as a psyop to feed into the already established narrative that was seeded well before the election.

Glad someone commented about Ralph Peters non-commentary hatred spew against Putin on television. Lou Dobbs needs to find a new talking head as Peters offers no insight on the politicization of intelligence. The current scam is one of the most transparently propagandistic journolist projects of the Obama 8 years. Don’t expect that stuff to end on Jan. 20. But fortunately for us to the extent he can Trump will use the bully pulpit to educate. 14 days to go.

Found some updated info re: Mother Russia hacks –
First this article from Breitbart which reports that most of the information assumed to be provided in the DHS/DNI/FBI report about the hack is supplied by a cyber-security contracting firm, CrowdStrike, which has direct ties to Google.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/06/dnc-russian-hacking-conclusion-comes-google-linked-firm/
This Breitbart article also takes quotes from an Esquire interview with CrowdStrike company co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch a Russian ex-pat where he explains how it was discovered:
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a49902/the-russian-emigre-leading-the-fight-to-protect-america/
Back to Breitbart article:
There is also a blog post that Alperovitch wrote going into a little detail on how the hack was accomplished:
https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/
He has an update at the top that references Guccifer 2.0’s WordPress site where they claim responsibility for the hack and published some of the documents obtained from the DNC – Alperovitch said they were looking into the claims.
https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bear-hunting-tracking-cozybear-backdoors/
No where in the blog post does CrowdStrike provide proof of the intrusion being the work of Cozy Bear and/or Fancy Bear – the code words for the FSB and GRU units. They provide IOC’s (Indicators of Compromise), but do not show how it attributes these indicators directly to these 2 units.
This is apparently what the FBI sourced for it’s claim that the Russian’s did it in it’s report cited in the DHS/DNI report….
