The news keeps getting worse. Alarming evidence of how deep the Kremlins got its tentacles in Washington mounts by the day. Large-scale hacking by Russian cyber-warriors didnt just hit the Democratic National Committee, it stole emails from a wide array of top power-players, including the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, NATOs military boss.
Systematic Russian cyber-attacks on the DNC and related political targets in Washington were detected over a year ago by the National Security Agency, which monitors foreign cyber shenanigans, but the highly classified nature of this intelligence made it difficult to alert Congress about Kremlin espionage.
That the Russians stood behind this operation, using well-known hacking cut-outs, was established early by NSA. It was the Kremlin, we had them cold, explained an NSA official with direct knowledge of the case: Moscow didnt care we knew, they were unusually brazen.

While reading this you may die laughing.
The tentacles America needs to be concerned with are home-grown.
This is pretty damned funny, desperation can be. Must say to the Observer that I’d rather have Putin win our election than Hillary!
I bet now the gub’mint will take cyber attacks seriously, instead of global warming.....
They didn’t give a crap when it was against us our our businesses, but watch... someone attacked THEIR phone numbers and its priority number one.
In any event, the article is a joke.
Espionage has been going on by foreign powers for millennia. Cyber espionage is just the newest form. Of course our systems need to be protected just like the clandestine and covert operatives of years ago. But we must blame someone or somebody for the problem. There is no personal responsibility anymore. Its the Russians fault not the fools in government that put classified information on unsecured servers.
A thought experiment.
You are a top adviser to Putin, your recommendation to support would be Mr Trump or Mrs Clinton?
What do you see as best for Mother Russia?
“someone attacked THEIR phone numbers”
This is great PAYBACK, since its these same rule makers that have declared war on our phones. Current laws allow political calls of every flavor to invade your privacy. THEY have the right to have their cronies call you and survey you constantly.
PAYBACK is such a b!tch
A thought experiment:
Are you trolling for Soros and the DNC?
What do you see as best for Mother Clinton?
This guy is real clever. You get halfway through the article before he noticeably loses his grip on his liberal convictions.
Who knew the lefties were such great Cold Warriors protecting us from the evil Soviets I mean Russians. Werent the Clintons the ones who let the Chinese have our military technology? I guess DNC secrets are far more important.
Republicans get hacked and it's boring - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3459319/posts.
Democrats get hacked and all their criminal antics are revealed:
Putin is pragmatic as opposed to PB bull. He also has his nations interests in mind (2nd to his own interests of course).
Everyone’s favorite boogeyman.
Speaking of dying LOL...
Watch this interview (it’s only five minutes long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCMyHJJrdDw
In it a ‘famous’ lefty foreign affairs scholar (Stephen Cohen) calmly eviscerates the current lefty meme that Trump is a puppet of the Kremlin. Watch the Pavlovian response of the interviewer - he is given all the clues and yet comes to the (predictably) wrong conclusion.
God help us that the left continues to indulge in their myopic “analysis” through the rest of this contest!
So the NSA won’t keep us safe butt hey will spy on us
Guess the liars in the press only care if the “PUBLIC’ knows things that might hurt Republicans. When it comes to the democrat war room “boys who feed them stories (from their opposition research teams’) well THOSE FOLKS GET A PASS FROM THE PRESS.
"How dare anyone spill the beans (THE TRUTH) about democrats..." the press can't take that... Bob Woodward and the Washington Post have changed their tune - - the public doesn' have a right to know Bill and Hillary and their effing ‘Foundation’ sold out our country like a cheap whore... NO, “the press” wants to protect Hillary and Bill. The Public does NOT have the right to know... if it hurts their side.
We, 'the public' will not forget how 'the press' sold us out... Good luck getting your credibility back Washington Post and New York Times...
I’ll play.
“What do you see as best for Mother Russia?”
The answer is obvious - Hillary-Dillary. She is utterly predictable and consequently completely maneuverable. She is crooked as a dog’s hind leg and will ALWAYS respond to the siren call of money. Her corruption makes her uniquely vulnerable. Who wouldn’t want her across the table from you - especially with no-limit stake?
Trump OTOH isn’t steeped in political nuance. Consequently he is unpredictable. His perceived overtures to Russia and being universally misunderstood (I believe deliberately) and that leaves him free to design and implement an America-first foreign policy.
Contemptibly Corrupt Clinton is the clear choice.
You are a top adviser to Putin, your recommendation to support would be Mr Trump or Mrs Clinton?
What do you see as best for Mother Russia?
A very interesting and challenging question for analysis, let's have a go at it.
First, you stipulate that I am the advisor to Putin and what would I advise?
I would unequivocally advise Putin to take the steps necessary to get Donald Trump elected President of the United States, and keep those actions secret, if necessary.
The reason is simple, Clinton (along with most DemoRats) is perfectly willing to unnecessarily provoke a major war involving the United States and Russia, in order to acquire and remain in power, and that war would be bad for Russia. My advice hinges on the assumption that Putin is motivated by the best interests of White Russian and Slavic peoples, and his desire to increase his personal wealth is secondary to that primary goal, and the belief that Putin could gain advancement for the standard and quality of living for White Slavs AND increase his personal wealth with Trump as President considerably more than Clinton as President without the risk of unnecessary warfare. Remember this is argued toward Putin's point of view, and I do not know if Putin's concern for Russians and Slavs is genuine.
At this point, I would point out that if Putin's only wish is wealth and power, he could get rich like Soros by getting on the Clinton gravy train and collecting US funds by selling out his own people to progressive leftist Homo Politically Correct policy.
Now let's refine the question a bit, and eliminate the advisor to Putin, as the advisor would not make the final decision on policy, that would be Putin, so let's examine the policy maker himself rather than an advisor.
What do you think Putin wants for Russians and Slavs? I do not believe that Putin cares much for Americans or Western Europeans, but that is not his job, nor does he propose that he is other than an advocate for Russians and Slavs.
Yep, and the author is a particularly vile and incompetent NSA a$$hole.
The `rats deep umbrage at getting caught and blaming the Rus (now a meme) for their discommode has a strong “snitches get stitches” aroma.
John R. Schindler is a real piece of crap, he can go on and on about Soviet Communist infiltration in the 40's, without mentioning that is was into the Roosevelt American DemoRat Left, and that it is still there today despite the American Patriot McCarthy House Unamerican Activities Commission & Republican Right.
Then he falls in with the American IslamoCommie Left's the Rooskis did it!!
