"Grizzly Steppe" - FBI, DHS Release "Report" On Russian Hacking
ZeroHedge ^ | 12/29/16 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 12/29/2016 12:47:10 PM PST by ForYourChildren

As part of the "evidence" meant to substantiate the unprecedented act of expelling 35 Russian diplomats and locking down two Russian compounds without a major concurrent political or diplomatic incident, or an act of war, and which simply provides an outlets for the Democrats to justify the loss of their candidate in the US presidential election (sorry, Putin did not tell the rust belt how to vote), the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI released a 13-page "report" on the Russian action done "to compromise and exploit networks and endpoints associated with the U.S. election", i.e., hack it.

There is a very interesting article at The UNZ on the attempt of the coup to keep Trump out of office. the past few years Latin America has experienced several examples of the seizure of Presidential power by unconstitutional means, which may help illustrate some of the current moves underway in Washington. These are especially interesting since the Obama Administration served as the ‘midwife’ for these ‘regime changes’.

Brazil, Paraguay, Honduras and Haiti experienced coups, in which the elected Presidents were ousted through a series of political interventions orchestrated by economic elites and their political allies in Congress and the Judiciary.

President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton were deeply involved in these operations as part of their established foreign policy of ‘regime change’. Indeed, the ’success’ of the Latin American coups has encouraged sectors of the US elite to attempt to prevent President-elect Trump from taking office in January.

While similarities abound, the on-going coup against Trump in the United States occurs within a very different power configuration of proponents and antagonists.

Firstly, this coup is not against a standing President, but targets an elected president set to take office on January 20, 2017. Secondly, the attempted coup has polarized leading sectors of the political and economic elite. It even exposes a seamy rivalry within the intelligence-security apparatus, with the political appointees heading the CIA involved in the coup and the FBI supporting the incoming President Trump and the constitutional process. Thirdly, the evolving coup is a sequential process, which will build momentum and then escalate very rapidly.

Coup-makers depend on the ‘Big Lie’ as their point of departure – accusing President-Elect Trump of 1) being a Kremlin stooge, attributing his electoral victory to Russian intervention against his Democratic Party opponent, Hillary Clinton and 2) blatant voter fraud in which the Republican Party prevented minority voters from casting their ballot for Secretary Clinton.

The first operatives to emerge in the early stages of the coup included the marginal-left Green Party Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein, who won less than 1% of the vote, as well as the mass media.

In the wake of her resounding defeat, Candidate Stein usurped authority from the national Green Party and rapidly raked in $8 million dollars in donations from Democratic Party operatives and George Soros-linked NGO’s (many times the amount raised during her Presidential campaign). This dodgy money financed her demand for ballot recounts in selective states in order to challenge Trump’s victory. The recounts failed to change the outcome, but it was a ‘first shot across the bow’, to stop Trump. It became a propaganda focus for the neo-conservative mass media to mobilize several thousand Clintonite and liberal activists.

"Now we shall see what Putin does to Obama! It will be swift and mean."

Would be awesome if Putin released Benghazi emails between Hitlery and 0dunga, or maybe 0dunga's fraudulent birth certificate evidence.

Well, if the FBI said it, it must be BS.

This is the organization which brought us Ruby Ridge, Waco, Malheur, and the exoneration of Hillary Clinton.

The FBI deserves as much credence and respect the Tonton Macoute.

This got sent to me and I though it pretty good so I am posting it on their behalf.

--------------------------

Oh my, how history repeats itself.

In 1933, Russia also burned down the Reichstag (at least that was who Adolf Hitler blamed).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

“The responsibility for the Reichstag fire remains an ongoing topic of debate and research.[3][4] Historians disagree as to whether van der Lubbe acted alone, as he said, to protest the condition of the German working class. The Nazis accused the Comintern of the act. Some historians endorse the theory, proposed by the Communist Party, that the arson was planned and ordered by the Nazis as a false flag operation.[5]”

“Adolf Hitler, who had been sworn in as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January, urged President Paul von Hindenburg to pass an emergency decree to suspend civil liberties in order to counter the ruthless confrontation of the Communist Party of Germany.[2] After passing the decree, the government instituted mass arrests of communists, including all of the Communist Party parliamentary delegates. With their bitter rival communists gone and their seats empty, the Nazi Party went from being a plurality party to the majority, thus enabling Hitler to consolidate his power.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_federal_election,_March_1933

“The 1933 election followed the previous year’s two elections (July and November) and Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor. In the months before the 1933 election, brownshirts and SS displayed “terror, repression and propaganda [...] across the land”,[1]:339 and Nazi organizations “monitored” the vote process. In Prussia 50,000 members of the SS, SA and Stahlhelm were ordered to monitor the votes by acting Interior Minister Hermann Göring, as auxiliary police.[2]

“The Nazis registered a large increase in votes in 1933. Despite waging a campaign of terror against their opponents, the Nazis only tallied 43.9 percent of the vote, well short of a majority. They needed the votes of their coalition partner, the German National People’s Party (DNVP), for a bare working majority in the Reichstag.

“This would be the last contested election held in Germany before World War II. Two weeks after the election, Hitler was able to pass an Enabling Act on 23 March with the support of all non-socialist parties, which effectively gave Hitler dictatorial powers. Within months, the Nazis banned all other parties, dissolved the Reichstag and replaced it with a rubberstamp legislature comprising only Nazis and pro-Nazi “guests.”

“The resources of big business and the state were thrown behind the Nazis’ campaign to achieve saturation coverage all over Germany. Brownshirts and SS patrolled and marched menacingly through the streets of cities and towns. A “combination of terror, repression and propaganda was mobilized in every... community, large and small, across the land.”[1]:339 Irene von Goetz writes, “In a decree issued on 17 February 1933, Göring ordered the Prussian police force to make unrestrained use of firearms in operations against political opponents (the so-called Schießerlass,” or shooting decree).[2]”

And, just like Mao Zedong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotations_from_Chairman_Mao_Tse-tung

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_power_grows_out_of_the_barrel_of_a_gun

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” is one of the most famous slogans among the cadres who uphold the legacy of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. The quote came from Mao Zedong, as the final conclusive comments during the exigent meeting called by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China during August 1927, as a consequence of the collapse of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation.[1] By the means of the quote, Mao suggested to the cadres that in order to take the outright political control, the armed struggle is an absolute necessity.[1]

And, of course, Lenin and Trotsky:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution

And Stalin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak

Do not “misunderestimate” our opposition - they are more than just misguided lunatics - they are zealots committed to the destruction of the USA.

And they intend to win.

When our enemies telegraph their intentions - we should pay attention.

We are going to have to defeat them - decisively.

I’ve noticed that they are mad that Podesta was hacked, although nobody has denied that everything in the emails was true!

The "meat" of the report consists of a kind of flowchart, a list of terms or code words, and about a page or two of commentary. That wouldn't even pass muster for a high school term paper, much less as "proof" of a major hacking attack by a foreign power.

My impression of the report was of its utter laziness, as if anything they threw out there for the MSM would be accepted uncritically.

These globalist deceivers have no more proof of a Russian hack than they do that “China” hacked the OPM Fed employees PII and fingerprints.

Obama probably set up the OPM hack and sold the info for some vacation cash.

This is a 13 page document

Page 13 is how to contact the DHS and FBI, should you ever want to

Pages 6 - 12 is just a general vomitting of standard “how to secure you server” advice that has no relation to anything specific.

Page 5 - a 19 line PHP script (God help us) that you can run to see if your server has been infected by a specific root kit.

Page 4 - a list of hacker groups from Russia, supposedly. PinchedDuke, Tsar Team, and Energetic Bear to name a few. Must be Russian

Pages 2-3 - a meaningless graphic that says that “Advanced Persistent Threat 28 and 29” are Russians ‘because we said so’

Page 1 - Boilerplate Introduction

I have to say, there is no meat here. The only pages that even pretend to be meat are pages 2, 3, and 4. Those pages are actually completely devoid of actual facts. The other 10 pages don’t even pretend to have any actual evidence or facts.

“So Putin made me vote for Trump?
And all this time I thought it was Democrat Policies..................”

Putin also caused the Rats to lose 1030 legislative seats over the past 8 years, including the upcoming HOR, Senate and not including the open Supreme Court seat(s)! Nice work Vlad!

“Having read the report, it contains the bare assertion that the malicious actors (described as APT 28 and APT 29) are associated with Russian Intelligence Services. It provides zero evidence in support of that assertion.”

Agree - lame excuse for a “report.” They are taking anything they have and throwing it against the wall. This one didn’t stick - but the MSM will say it did.

This Fake Report, all by itself, is more than enough reason to disband DHS and the FBI.

Can you imagine someone bringing a “report” like this to Pres. Trump or Sec. Def. General Mattis USMC(ret) as part of a daily briefing?

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that room. With a flame-proof suit and hearing protection.
