CrowdStrike: a Conspiracy Wrapped in a Conspiracy Inside a Conspiracy
Frontpage Mag ^ | Nov 29, 2019 | Oleg Atbashian

In the last few days, media talking heads have been saying the word "CrowdStrike" a lot, defining it as a wild conspiracy theory originating in Moscow. They were joined by Chris Wallace at Fox News, who informed us that president Trump and his ill-informed fans believe in a crazy idea that the DNC wasn't hacked by the Russians but by some Ukrainian group named CrowdStrike that stole the DNC server and brought it to Ukraine , and that it was Ukraine that meddled in our 2016 election and not Russia.

A crazy idea indeed. Except that neither Trump nor his fans had ever heard of it until the Democrat-media complex condescendingly informed them that these are their beliefs.

Let's look at the facts:

Fact 1. In 2016 the DNC hired the Ukrainian-owned firm CrowdStrike to analyze their server and investigate a data breach.

Fact 2. CrowdStrike experts determined that the culprit was Russia.

Fact 3. The FBI never received access to the DNC server, so the Russian connection was never officially confirmed and continues to be an allegation coming from the DNC and its Ukrainian-owned contractor.

Fact 4. Absent the official verdict, other theories continue to circulate, including the possibility that the theft was an inside job by a DNC employee, who simply copied the files to a USB drive and sent it to WikiLeaks.

None of these facts was ever disputed by anyone. The media largely ignored them except for the part about the Russian hackers, which boosted their own, now debunked, wild conspiracy theory that Trump was a Russian agent.

Now that Trump had asked the newly elected Ukrainian president Zelensky to look into CrowdStrike during that fateful July phone call, the media all at once started telling us that "CrowdStrike" is a code word for a conspiracy theory so insane that only Trump could believe in it, which is just more proof of how insane he is.

Thanks for the link to the DNC complaint against Russia.

I had completely overlooked that and had no idea it was in the public domain.

Re: "No mention of decommissioning anything"

Thanks for the NPR link.

I ran into the word “decommissioned” twice while doing Cloudstrike research yesterday.

LOL - since Cloudstrike seems to be the official source for all things related to Cloudstrike, I assumed it came from them.

I went to Cloudstrike's website yesterday and clicked on every link they had to SEC filings.

I had to do the read through very quickly and came away with just the corporate names of a lot of investment bankers and start up firms.

I will do a deeper dive on Sunday and see if I can figure out where the original investments came from, who owns the voting stock, and how much of the stock is privately held.

Let's see. Seth Rich a DNC employee hired to find problems in the DNC computer system downloads files from the DNC.He hated them because he discovered Hillary who basically bought the broke dnc was systematically destroying Bernie's chances to become the dem nominee.The DNC hacked all his info, donors, supporters, all his info stole everything they could and counted his votes for Hillary.

Rich found out was pissed and decided to do a bit of sabotage on his own. He made three thumb drives from within the building housing the dnc and got them to wiki.

Shortly thereafter Rich walked home late at night from his favorite bar was shot twice with nothing taken from him ruling out a robbery after being grilled for an hour in a van with unknown (FBI agents ?).

After being shot he sat on the sidewalk talking to local police who had responded until the ambulance got there.Apparently not in serious pain from small caliber bullets.

He went to the hospital was treated by a surgical team that treats bullet wounds every night in dc and then told to rest. The remainder of his wounds would be treated later after he got some "down" time.

Surgical staff head Dr.Jack Sava(whose gal pal is a dnc donor) enters with all kinds of security,rough looking dudes. Rich is cordoned off no one from the hospital staff allowed near him and a few hours later he's pronounced dead.

The medical staff that treated him posted an email that stated he was in good shape and so no reason he would not recover from his wounds.

Is there a cover up of what Rich did? You bet your ass there is.

Another something many of us are missing from this while thing is the following:

The DOJ will NOT investigate/prosecute themselves. Horowitz report will NOT expose those that the top of political bias or corruption. To do so would cause too many issues and would allow criminals to have their cases retried and expose other corrupt deep state power brokers & politicians. So they are going to pin this on some low level people using the same techniques they used to get Flynn to plead guilty.

And here’s the kicker this is WHY Trump was pressing Ukraine to investigate Biden and Crowd Strike! He knows Barr isn’t going to do crap about this. He knows Barr is working on a strategy to help save the deep state top brass while also trying to show he did something to restore faith in gov’t. Well half-measures won’t work. And we need to start calling Bullcrap on this before the report is out. Let them know we won’t stand for it. They need to expose the top level corruption we know that is going on. We can’t allow two tiered justice to continue in the US.

You’re missing the point. Trump needs Ukraine to investigate because the DOJ won’t do their job and prosecute deep state top brass or democrat top officials. It’s that simple.

Why hasn’t Barr contacted the Ukraine for this information? Why was it Trump and his personal attorney? It’s because Barr won’t do his job.

He’s part of the cover up.

IMO your reply is so full of stupid that it's pointless to bother trying to address your points.

No offense intended. Have a nice day.

No forensic study was conducted by any division of the FBI.

Nonsense. The FBI got the images, did forensic analysis and said they agreed with CrowdStrike's analysis.

It's true they didn't get access to the physical servers, which they understandably wanted, but they ended up being satisfied with what they got.

I really don't know what your theory is here.

Care to share your thesis?

Or are you just throwing dust in the air?

So you’re saying Comey was lying and there was no agreement?

No, Comey said there was an agreement that CrowdStrike (the private company) would share what they saw (the server images and logs).

This isn't hard, but then you know that.
