SolarWinds as a Constitutive Moment: A New Agenda for the International Law of Intelligence

https://www.justsecurity.org/73989/solarwinds-as-a-constitutive-moment-a-new-agenda-for-the-international-law-of-intelligence/

Fitting, perhaps that I would revisit the recent SolarWinds hacking expose, on the same day that we were treated to this LIVE demonstration of an expert quickly and easily hacking into the ongoing election, in Georgia, in real time:

Expert Witness Says His Team Has Hacked into the Georgia Senate Runoff Elections — “We are in.” Witness Says Voting System Is Connected to Internet https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3920108/posts

Of course, the importance of the SolarWinds hack is not yet being fully grasped by the public... not in relation to the election, and only less beyond that. However, the public seems to better understand the importance of our elections being that easily hacked... even in spite of the left wing media's efforts to keep them unaware ?

It seems impossible to deny that elections are capable of being manipulated, by hacking, when you see it being done, live, right there in front of you ? But, the election machines we have been sold, and lied to about, by everyone involved, are laughably insecure. That insecurity was known, and sold to the public officials buying them as a FEATURE... the design intended to easily enable fraud, was the selling point. That's now been fully exposed... not only by proofs of the machines being easily hacked, as they are counting votes in an ongoing election, but by proofs showing that's how the machines were being marketed... and by statements from those who built them, addressing how they knew they would be used.

And, yet, not many in public life, and no one in the media, and certainly not any in of the tech related industries, are overly exercised about that blatant fraud being practiced on the public by the purveyors of tech products ? They're clearly not surprised ? And, they also don't really care ? Why might that be ?

The SolarWinds hack, on the other hand (while just as relevant in the elections as in other things) is being treated as a MASSIVELY important(hugh and series) attack on the foundation of the Empire. And, THAT attack is one they DO care about... even while willingly ignoring the brazen multi-threaded election frauds, the elimination of free speech rights, and political litmus tests being imposed to deny access to the economy. Given all the emergent threats to the survival of the nation that do exist, it appears the only one they do care about... is the one that has surprised some of them, being the ONE of which they weren't aware, and are not fully in control ?

Why is it that the other, far more serious threats to our survival as a nation... don't stir them at all ?

Might it be... because those threats are not ones they perceive as threats to themselves, or to the nation, but only to a portion of the nation... one that they've been taught they don't have to care about ? Republicans being denied free speech, doesn't bother them. People they disagree with being denied a livelihood because of their political beliefs, or their religious preferences, or because they stood up for their rights, doesn't bother them. Frauds being practiced, to alter the political balance in control of the government, doesn't bother them. The rule of law being subverted, and the Constitution being destroyed, doesn't bother them. Because, the tech world has become a cesspool of irrational left wing hate and advocacy for violence against those they dislike ?

The SolarWinds attack... was perceives as an attack ON THEM, along with the rest of us... and all the other issues with attacks on free speech, manipulation of elections, and hacking the voting machines, are perceived by them, as an attack BY them, on the rest of us ?

Clearly, they appear roundly unconcerned that there might be consequences that attend to their decision to try to shut down free speech, subvert the operation of the Constitution, undermine the rule of law, and facilitate election frauds... to ensure their guy wins, with ZERO concern for how the majority voted ?

The don't care about legitimacy.

We're told being a Democrat, now... means agreeing to engage in a suicidal civil war intent on destroying liberal democracy... along with all of western civilization and culture... and all of those who champion them ?

So, given the history of the last four years of FAKE outrage claiming "Russia" hacked our 2016 elections to elect Donald Trump... and Donald Trump was in on it... even when they knew that was a lie ?

Perhaps you'll pardon me for not immediately accepting the finger pointing here...

Who is most likely responsible ?

The most clearly obvious thing I see... is that the PROVEN motive in all those other parallel attacks on the country... it is the left wing and the tech industry in particular, in lock step with them, that are doing the most harm to the nation.

The SolarWinds hack, too, clearly WAS enlisted in attacking the 2020 elections, by seeking to suppress the expression of opinion of ONE segment of the electorate, only... that element represented here on FR... and it continued being used for that, from February, right up until early December.

So, I think the most probable culprit in the SolarWinds hack... is not Russia, but an inside job enabled by the "tech connected" wing of the Deep State...

In the next couple posts... I'll consider that in context of the articles linked above... and what they suggest in their own analysis focused on "what we should do about it"...

You cant make this stuff up:

<><> Repub Gov Kemp as Sec. of State, did the shady deal to get Dominion Systems’ rigged voting hardware and software,
<><> current Repub SoS Raffensperger, also enabled the massive fraud that took place Nov 3.
<><> Raffensperger helped Stacey Abrams and her fellow Dems pull off the scam,
<><> R’sperger refused to allow double-verification for signatures on absentee and mail-in ballots; Georgia state law requires two,”
<><> R’sperger refused to invalidate ballots that were not signed on the outside outer envelope,
<><> R’sperger refused to invalidate ballots where the outer envelopes were destroyed (w/ no idea who voted).
<><> R’sperger refused to give Repubs, as law requires, list of voters to see who died and who moved away, so as to challenge the results.
<><> R’sperger OK’ed election inspectors and watchers to throw out Repubs during the balloting process,
<><> he disallowed Repubs to even be in the room’s perimeter where paper ballots or verifications could be seen.
<><> R’sperger Sent Armed Secy of State Agents with Handcuffs to County That Complained about Inaccurate Dominion Machines.

AND THIS
<><>Stacey Abrams is running around GA w/ millions of phony absentee ballots stuffed in used pizza boxes for delivery runoff day;
<><> Stacey has a sister who’s a judge;
<><> Stacey’s sister rigged the runoff; she stopped the purging out-of-state voters from the voter rolls.

On the hacking... of the election, and “SolarWinds”
https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3908039/posts?q=1&;page=53#53

Another follow up, two parts, on the “Russian” hacking... some perhaps useful to the tech gurus out there, some of it for the gumshoes. Please forward, at will, to your tech security buds.

I. This was commented on 16 November coincident with my first indications of errors...

A. First hit was on a now safely pickled linux (Ubuntu) machine:

Error in usr/share/doc-base/netfilter-hacking
Error in usr/share/doc-base/netfilter-extensions

line 9: all “Format” sections are invalid

install-docs —verbose —check file_name
may be used to give more details re file errors

B. The log indications are time coincident with my postings on an election hacking thread that was focused on Scytl and, on 16 Nov, was addressing links to the Russian company, Paragon, and its subsidiary Service Point Solutions... the Russian companies that bought Scytl... the Spanish elections services company with known linkages to Soros’s operations and the source of the mysterious “Frankfurt Server” issue.

The shell game in corporate ownership apparent here parallels other instances (Dominion, Hart, Smartmatic) in the elections hack, and is a key part of the dodge in security plans... so, this hack includes elements in social hacking, where trusted sources are sold, and new owners insert code, co-mingle access with subsidiaries, re-route traffic... defeating the trust that has been established.

It is wrongly assumed new owners financial interest will be enough to ensure preserving a legacy of trust. In this instance, neither CFIUS nor CISA noticed a Russian company had taken control of Scytl prior to the election. But, the Russians might have been duped ? The New York VC company likely holds the key... and, then, poking at it, I got hacked...

But, the capacity exploited already existed... was created BEFORE Russia bought it ? Look backwards, at dispositions of existing capabilities that are functionally preserved, as well as forward to those acquired. Scytl was probably running the comms organizing and controlling the BLM riots... and that’s why it went broke... enabling it to be bought out of BK by the Russians. Very convenient.

So, Russians ? Or, Deep State ?

Scytl’s origins: VC roots tied to Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft, etc., by the responsible VC parents. But, the same day as the “Russian” hack, I had ALSO addressed other Deep State RELATED subjects that also might have set someone off, eventually leading to the exposure of the “SolarWinds” hacking adventure:

II. Here are the postings that appear likely to have tweaked someone to hack at me. They are those I posted on Nov 16th, in which I addressed those TWO subjects with that sort of potential:

A. The first, at 10:03:48 AM was addressing oddities, including spooky Russian ghost links, in a smaller New York VC firm:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#89

If its the Russians, it was that post that had them decide Cozy Bear should target me to shut down my comms.

B. The second, was a series of posts addressing the issue of DOJ corruption and its ongoing involvement with protection of the Deep State by enabling election frauds, likely including the murder of US Attorney Tom Wales in Seattle, addressed in this series of posts:

DOJ Perp’s Ridiculous Rant: “There Is No Fraud, So We Demand You Not Allow Us to Investigate It”.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#86

The Murder of Tom Wales in Seattle:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#91

The Deep State Issue in that context, not new:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#92

The Specifics in the Origin of the Seattle Issues:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#93

That bit involves DOJ running interference for Obama’s ACORN operations in Seattle... issuing credible death threats to candidates in Washington State elections by e-mail from the Acorn offices... was also posted proximal to the bit on the Seattle law firm Kirkland Ellis, again involving threats, now targeting Trump’s attorneys in Michigan:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903686/posts?q=1&;page=51#95

Both the Deep State and the Russians have the ability to conduct the hack... and make it look like the Russians.

As far as I’m aware, the Russians have never found it useful either to directly threaten me, or try to kill me...

Can’t say the same about the Deep State, though...

So, it’s a “who done it” ?
