RUSSIAN HACKING HYSTERIA
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/13/16 | Matthew Vadum

The Left can't stop blaming the vast Russian conspiracy

All this talk of a vast Russian conspiracy to hack U.S. computer networks to put Donald Trump in the White House is difficult to believe.

It may turn out to be true that somebody either hacked the Democratic National Committee or leaked emails from inside the DNC to expose Democrats’ dirty tricks against the Trump campaign. Among those illicit operations were the effort to foment violence at Trump campaign rallies, rigging the Democrat primaries against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and the leaking of debate questions by then-CNN pundit and now acting DNC chairman Donna Brazile.

I saw an e-mail headline saying that the Russkis had hacked the RNC servers too. Clickbait, though, so I didn’t open it.

The Russians have completely denied hacking the DNC.

Wikileaks, including Assange, have clearly stated that they did not get their information from the Russians.

And yet the democrats keep trying the accusation, much like they tried for some time to hang on to the accusation that a film on the internet was responsible for Bengahzi.

Headline of the Day Poll

Why are Democrats saying Russia interferred with the presidential election?

They are concerned with the integrity of the system

They are trying to delegitimize Trump’s presidency

Not at all. Quite the opposite.

Putin must be laughing his ass off for all the credit he is being given.

The whole narrative that information somehow influences elections in improper ways is a dangerous and inflammatory statement regarding the rights of people in a free society. The leaked information is a totally separate issue than how the information may have been obtained illegally. The court of pubic opinion is not a legal courtroom where evidence can be suppressed if the evidence even if true were obtained by illegal methods. The press and the democrats are treating the leak as if this were a court of law, and that somehow the information, that they do not deny as being true is an illegal influence to pubic opinion., which is a lie.. Instead it is the public duty to consider the truth when voting, it is not the governments job to censor or to tell the public what to use or not use when voting.

It is no coincidence that the left is also pushing the narrative that they hold the fact checking keys as to what is real news, and how inconvenient truths are not to be considered and in this case hinting as even illegal. Censorship along with their talking points the leaks were obtained illegally, and furthermore by an adversary ,( unproven ) the Russians, the public has no right to consider the information to make their minds up about who to support, and such an influence is illegal.. again,,, this is a lie , a totally false and dangerous precedent for a free society.

Consider the source of these accusations, the CIA headed by John Brennan; You think that wasn’t by intention? Listen to this: In his 1980 graduate thesis at the University of Texas at Austin, Brennan denied the existence of “absolute human rights” and argued in favor of censorship on the part of the Egyptian dictatorship. “Since the press can play such an influential role in determining the perceptions of the masses, I am in favor of some degree of government censorship. Inflammatory articles can provoke mass opposition and possible violence, especially in developing political systems.” ( from world net daily)

Therefore, patriots on the right, be it media or bloggers need to really understand what the charges is the left is seeking remedy for. They are accusing the people of not having the right to consider evidence, undeniably true information , yet illegally obtained in the court of public opinion. The goal they seek is censorship, and if their remedy for leaks if can get away with it, overturning the free and fair election of Donald Trump. However, in a free society , information is not a crime to consider as part of forming public opinion,,, this false narrative needs to be addressed and put it an end..

There are legitimate reasons to be careful, to be wary, where Putin and Russia are concerned; but now the Democrats have muddies those waters with fake news on Russian interference. By crying wolf, they weaken America’s standing on future real issues we might have with Russia. But then again they were willing to violate a no fly zone and get us into WWIII just to get Hillary elected, so nothing is beyond the pale for them.

This hysteria is not so much about this election
as future elections. It is to the left’s advantage
to create doubt about our system. Turmoil, strife,chaos,
and public discontent all are part of the lefts playbook.

Reince Priebus says the FBI investigated for a month and found no evidence that the RNC was hacked.

Uhn huh.

And China, and N. Korea, tin pot dictators everywhere.

I don’t believe all that information was one giant hack.

It was an inside job and they can’t admit it.

It was a leak and not a hack. The Russians were not the leakers.

So, now we trust the FBI, which couldn't find any charges against the Beast?
