SONY Hack: Sorry, but not buying the NORK angle
self | J. Johnson

Posted on 12/20/2014 11:43:10 AM PST by jimjohn

Okay, not wearing a conspiracy hat here. But I’m simply not buying that the North Koreans were behind the hack of the decade. And no, I’m not blaming the U.S. Government, either (accept maybe for their own incompetence). Everything I’m seeing points to this hack as an ‘inside job’.

I did not say that at all.
I’m putting my money on an insider (current or past) who’s pissed off at SONY. If not, the had to have help from the inside, but in fairness:

I should say that if some SONY system admin left their credentials lying around somewhere, then it could have been someone who’s NOT on the inside. Still, they would have needed a road map.

Personally it was a couple of 16 year olds in a garage that were pretty smart.

Oh yeah, and who are those REAL vengeful-types that hang around Hollywood these days?

Nah, those types wouldn’t do anything like that would they?

This was not the hack of the decade.

Combine this with the insider angle and I think we've got it. It was the teenage kids of some high up SONY execs and IT types.

Then why did the FBI issue a press release documenting the reasons that the hack points to North Korea?

I can show you many of times the FBI was complicit in extreme dirty events.
Framing a guy for murder for decades so an informant is covered.
Man you just shouldn’t trust any gub mint anything.

And I hear the Mossad actually helped the CIA, Skull & Bones, and Bilderbergers pull off 9/11 and frame Osama bin Laden.

From what I’ve seen, SONY should be asking themselves: “Who did we piss off in our company that had access to our systems?”

It seems to me that it was reported that Sony laid of 2,000 high level people last year, including people in their IT department. I cannot believe that North Korea took the pains to go through multiple foreign servers yet left URLs in the SOFTWARE that leads back to them! That's like the burglar leaving his wallet and driver's license at the scene of a burglary. Really stupid.

Some of the movies that were supposedly released from the hack actually apparently came from DVDs and Bluerays that were sent out as preview for the Motion Picture Academy Awards for the members' reviews and voting. There were imbedded codes in the digital meta data with indicators of which member it had been sent to as a control for Digital Rights Management so if it does get out, they would know who to prosecute.

Just more evidence that seems to show it isn't quite what is is purported to be.

i didn’t say that.
What I do say is do not trust this gub mint.
NOthing seems to be what they say about anything.
unemployment is 6 percent?
our borders are secure?
White cops are murdering black youth with impunity?
Cuba is our friend?
Homosexuality is a great thing?
Israel is bad?
I can on on for quite a while.
This federal gub mint under this jive ass marxist quota boy is a lying joke.

I wouldn`t put it past the NSA and this government. The big gov goons on BOTH sides of the uni-party are salivating over the possibility of ‘cyber security laws’ that would enable the gutting of the internet and destruction the last bastion of free speech.
