“UPDATE 1:
Joe Lauria @UNjoe went to NZ “a few months ago” (before the Mueller report came out) and recorded a 4 hour interview with @KimDotcom. Three segments can now be heard on Consortium News here at 46 mins, 1:14 mins and 1:39 mins.
I transcribed below the main bits from the first part, and pretty much everything in parts two and three. It’s brave of Kim to speak out while he is still under threat of extradition to the USA.
KIM: They lost because they cheated with Bernie Sanders. That is why these leaks took place... It was actually a DNC insider, a Bernie supporter, who saw the manipulation that took place and said “I can’t accept this.” And that is how the information ultimately ended up with WikiLeaks. It wasn’t a Russian hack.
KIM: I formed a political party in NZ called the Internet Party and... announced that we will have an Internet Party in the USA... I was approached by a young gentleman over Twitter with the Twitter handle Panda-something and he told me that he’s working with the Democrat Party and he was fed up with what was happening in the US and he would be interested to talk with me. And then I took that straight into an encrypted channel whwere we chatted about what’s going on and we had a few back and forth and he told me that he had information that would be quite shocking if it was made public. He believed that there was massive corruption going on within the DNC. He was very concerned about voter fraud... So I said look, this was all very interesting, but I was in the middle of my case and I was involved in this massive fight against the US so I did not want to be the recipient of any of that information. So I put him in touch with someone that I know in the data security space that is very knowledgeable and has worked with WikiLeaks in the past and I simply established the contact between that person and this person. And everything that happened after that is what we know know as the DNC leaks / hack.”
Kim then talks about the DNCleaks data being uploaded on a data stick, not via a download, as Binney and others have proven.
KIM: I do believe that there was an intrusion component. Intrusion meaning that someone has opened the door to DNC servers. Because if you can plug in a USB device and download all these files, then obviously you can upload something onto the server that will open a door for more analysis, for more data to be retrieved. I would think that is the logical thing of what happened.
Kim explains how the person who used a thumb drive to download files could also have given someone else access to the server so they could install a backdoor, which could then have been used to access files.
Kim: “What I do know for sure is that it was a DNC insider who opened that door.”
Joe: “The same one you had the encrypted conversation with?”
Kim: “Yes.”
Joe: “Did he say that he did that?”
Kim: “No he never said and I never asked.”
Kim notes that Podesta used Gmail, so his emails were not stored on the DNC server, but he explains how getting access to the server could provide someone with access to his Gmail (in any case, Podesta’s email password was “Password”). A file could be modified, provided as an attachment to a familiar-looking email, and easily trick the user.
Joe: “Do you have any ideas about HOW the files were transferred to WikiLeaks?”
Kim: “It is apparent from analysis of the metadata that it was copied onto a memory stick.”
Joe: “And then? Would that memory stick be humanly passed over, perhaps?”
Kim: “Perhaps. But I wouldn’t know the answer because I wasn’t involved in that.” “
Re: ICE raid at Koch Foods Inc. in Mississippi
A casual observer might believe Koch Foods is associated with Koch Industries and the billionaire Koch brothers, but it is actually an unrelated and unaffiliated company.
Nonetheless, the poultry processor today brings in $3 billion in revenue and was ranked No. 163 on Forbes’ list of most valuable private companies as of October 2014. The company was founded in 1973 by Fred Koch (no relation to the famous family) and later sold to Joseph Grendys.
