prev next Home | Policy | Cybersecurity WikiLeaks puts Clinton adviser Benenson on notice

By Joe Uchill - 10/23/16 10:19 AM EDT

WikiLeaks implied Sunday that it will leak information on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist, Joel Benenson.

"@benensonj We have a surprise for you #JBSurprise," said the tweet to Benenson, using the same "surprise" language WikiLeaks used last week when it put Democratic National Committee interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine on notice last week.

ADVERTISEMENT WikiLeaks also repeated a threat in a tweet at Kaine and NBC's "Meet the Press," saying, "@MeetThePress @timkaine We have a surprise for @TimKaine #TKSurprise."

On "Meet the Press," Kaine addressed an email purportedly from the John Podesta breach that said Kaine was notified of his vice presidential nomination in 2015.

“The one that referred to me is flat-out incorrect," said Kaine.

I bet the NSA is on high alert and scouring every potential source it can to shut the leaks down. Even with all their technology and algorithms they know it can be like trying to find a meerkat’s hiding spot in a maze of undergound tunnels, especially if you have several meerkats loaded with the same info in multiple tunnels.

This is crazy, but I have a vague feeling this might have something to do with a huge UFO hoax, maybe.

Doesn’t matter to liberals. If catching their actual candidate selling out the country, misplacing money, Leaving our soldiers to die alone isn’t enough, what would make them reconsider their vote?

There is a 7 page document floating around out there purportedly from Benensons think tank in DC, proposing a laser driven atmospheric UFO hoax to occur in Battleground States on Election night in order to keep hardcore Trump voters home.

nobody knows that if the document is real or not.

it is pretty detailed.

Traditionally, Republican voters are said to crawl over broken glass to vote if necessary whereas Democrats easily stay home. That would not deter Trump support in my opinion.

From what I saw, the UFO thing started as poll question, one of a list of choices for the only thing that would keep Trump voters from the polls. ET attack drew the most votes. How that was morphed into plans for staging one I do not know.

Sad and true.

I believe that the LIV crowd has WikiFatigue...with a likely response of, "...oh they took care of that already..." Since the LIV's rely on the Mendacious Media plus absurd sources such as Vox, Yahoo and fb for their "news" they have no interest in reality nor truth.

TRUMP/PENCE Landslide Victory 2016!

Supposedly the 7 page document shows that benenson people sampled huge numbers of Hardcore Trump voters to see if they could be deterred from voting by earthquakes or disease outbreak or black lives matter riots, and it turned out that 38% of Hardcore Trump voters responded that if there were perceptions of extraterrestrial Invasion then they would consider staying home.

now I think that that survey responses so funny and mysterious that a lot of people would check that box simply for fun, I know I would be tempted, so I don’t know how serious the responses were and I don’t even know if the document is genuine, but I did see it and if it’s a hoax it’s a very good hoax.

“Doesn’t matter to liberals.”

What’s your point? Preaching doom and despair is right at the top of the Hillary campaign internet manual:

Just saying.

NSA may be on some higher status and trying to “help”. But I also think that some people within NSA might have tired of the games played, and probably offered their expertise to the WikiLeaks crowd.

But I don’t think it matters. The national media refuses to pick up a single WikiLeaks note, and the amount of betrayal here is obvious. I think the only thing that the rest of us can do, after election day....is to simply turn the national news off and stick with just regional/state news. No one should be watching CNN anymore.

Benenson has been all over the place trying to discredit the Wikileaks. He is in full damage control acting like he knows that there are damaging e-mails involving him out there.

Rubio is doing the same thing.

For Hillary supporters, the ends justify the means. And the more corrupt Hillary and her henchmen are the more likely they are to achieve the ends. Unfortunately I think a lot of independents feel the same even though the means disgust them. As long as she’s getting “good things” done she can sell the rest of the government and profit all she can. And she SHOULD rig/steal the election if that’s what it takes.

The thing that will turn them off is not more corruption but more evidence that Hillary is lying about what she wants to accomplish. The difference in public/private goals. If she’s talking socialism but selling the country to capitalists for personal profit they’ll be pissed. If she’s talking peace but making money personally off war they’ll dump her.

But they REALLY don’t want to see the evidence and will ignore as much as possible. If she just gives them the slightest bit of explanation they can cling to they will grab it. So evidence will need to be so clear that Comey could find it.

This explains why so many corporate and media interests and industry groups support Hillary Clinton. She has spent 30 years demonstrating that she will sell out to any and all of them.

That's how all of these @ssholes do business -- even the hard-core Democratic organizations. Did you ever think you'd see the day when the AFL-CIO and every major labor union endorsed a candidate who served on the Wal-Mart board of directors for six years? LMAO.

“The one that referred to me is flat-out incorrect,” said Kaine.”

I wonder if he’d be willing to take a lie-detector about that?

Why would they think that only Trump supporters would stay home because of a UFO? That doesn’t make any sense.
