John McAfee Talks About ‘Russian Hack’
One of the most brilliant cyber-security experts has come forward to give his thoughts on the supposed Russian hack of the U.S. election.
I will be on @RT_America today at 8pm ET. I’ll drop a bombshell on today’s US intelligence claims. @realDonaldTrump I hope you’re listening.
— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) January 5, 2017
From RT:
The sloppiness of the alleged DNC hack by itself proves it was not organized by a nation state, and the “utter nonsense” presented as proof of Moscow’s involvement is rather evidence of intelligence agencies being “ignorant and naïve,” John McAfee told RT.
The so-called evidence of the Russian involvement in the hacks not only looks like “the most deceptive propaganda was perpetrated on the American public” but actually proves quite the opposite, McAfee believes…
Thus, McAfee believes, the whole “Russian hacking” narrative is either “propaganda intended to incite the American people, to anger toward Russia for some reason, or our intelligence community is so ignorant and naïve that they should all be replaced.”
Cybersecurity specialist believes that based on the presented evidence the hack “cannot possibly be an organized nation-state.”
***“The hack on the DNC used a piece of malware a year and a half old and there have been many updates since then, McAfee said. “This was done by an independent one person kid that downloaded the software. Please, this is not an organized hack and certainly not a nation-state that did this.”***
The funny thing is, nobody cares about the Russians. This was not a good narrative to invent in the first place.
Liberals have always been friendly to Russia. And conservatives have forgotten about Russia ever since Reagan’s Berlin Wall victory.
And this has nothing to do with or comparable with Clinton. Adding him to the mix discredits anything against Clinton, the so-called Russian hack, etc. Bad as quoting Lyn' Ted for something requiring the truth or respect of the US constitution or honesty to his constituents or the American people. Losing argument that discredits everyone.
You sound eager to convince us he’s guilty.
My only question is whether he understands cybersecurity.
He does.
Even a crazy master sharpshooter is still a master sharpshooter.
The same can be said of a number of government employees, especially former ones, including one who recently ran for president.
Of course most of the “legend” of McAfee is that he’s insane. Him saying the Russians didn’t do it actually make me think for the first time they did.
Here’s what I’ve just read from Pundit site:
***...(attack on) a legendary computer security innovator is shameful. If you know how corrupt the Belize government is, as I have been exposed to, then you would know the story where the Belize government attempted to extort money from McAfee. He refused to play along so they charged him with a bogus crime. United States has reciprocity for criminal extradition with Belize. The Belizean charges against McAfee were so flimsy and unsubstantial that it fell far short the standard for criminal extradition from the U.S.
John McAfee is a true patriot and believes in privacy rights on the Internet. As a result, the Globalists, who advocate a Chinese style system for America and the rest of the world, do not like McAfee. He is a thorn in their side because he fights for Internet freedom.***
Even if that puts you with the entire leftist media, including McCain, plus Scarborough?
You damn well know Obummer knows they are not responsible as well, but he is keeping up this ruse to F up Trump and the country as much as he possibly can before he leaves office being the petulant little brat he is.
So you want very badly for everyone to believe this about McAfee?
100% agreement with you, Yoda.
Even broken clocks are right twice a day. And like I said, this would be the FIRST time I think they actually did it, largely because I don’t trust McAfee. I didn’t trust him BEFORE he went to Belize, anti-virus software was built on a series of lies and imagined threats, plus McAfee’s software was a giant pile of crap. Then came the trip to Belize. If McAfee told me the sun rises in the east I’d set my alarm and bring a compass, don’t trust him, ever, about anything.
I object to the use of the media-created propaganda term “Russian Hack of the Election.”
The incessant repeating of the term is designed to condition acceptance of the premise through repetition. Goebbel would be proud; Alinsky would be prouder.
McAfee believes, the whole “Russian hacking” narrative is either “propaganda intended to incite the American people, to anger toward Russia for some reason, or our intelligence community is so ignorant and naïve that they should all be replaced.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And, I’d add, classic misdirection to have our eyes and attention averted from wikileaks info.
Would you trust the guy who’s organization revealed the truth in the form of thousands of emails and helped expose the D.C. crowns of corruption for what they are?
Did ya trust Director Comey when he publicly stated Clinton was guilty as hell but opted not the pursue charges anyway?
Would anyone like to guess the number of people the Clinton’s have thrown under the bus in the past 40 years, who would have ample motivation to blow the whistle on these criminals?
For those capable of critical thought, this entire, “The Russians did it” is 100% bull shit.
bkmk
Who says that they are not. Just because you are a paranoid does not mean that they are not out to get you.
I agree with you, but we are required to use the exact title found on the website we’re posting the article from.
You don’t get any smarter than Gen McInerney. He was one of my commanders when I was in the USAF.
Read up on the guy, particularly more recent interviews as well as his own writings. Then, get back to me. He’s certifiable but too arrogant to believe that he’s even capable of losing it.
