Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed (Wikileaks unveils the CIA)
Wikileaks ^ | 3/7/2017 | Wikileaks

Posted on 03/07/2017 6:12:05 AM PST by Ultra Sonic 007

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.

The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.

Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.

"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency's...

"LIBERALS REGARD HIM AS A HERO FOR HELPING EDWARD SNOWDEN EXPOSE GOVERNMENT SURVELLANCE [sp]."

I'm no fan of Putin's and certainly do not consider him to be a hero, but Edward Snowden, on the other hand, is a true American patriot and hero. He will long be remembered as the man that brought the unconstitutional actions of the NSA to the eye of the American public and identified them as one of the greatest threats our Republic has ever faced.

Did Hillary "create" the Russian/Trump scenerio and have Bill deliver it to the tarmac....the "evidence" for the FISA request they prepared for Lynch's signature.

I certainly hope so....b/c all the known evidence points to the FISA request being falsified.

Via Breitbart, JOHN HAYWARD observed that the FISA court may have approved a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.”

Ergo the most serious legal jeopardy facing them would be (a) perjury for lying to the FISA court, and, (b) the dissemination of collected intelligence that should have been kept tightly classified.

===========================================

It is entirely possible that these people perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance.

FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS would fall under the Crimes Act of 1958. Also, when official government documents or govt authorities are involved, the legal penalties are more severe.

Keep in mind, falsifying official documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.

I don’t have time to go through all 175 posts, gotta work. So I’ll just post what Rush came up with:

Limbaugh: WikiLeaks Revelation That CIA Mimics Russian Hackers Changes Narrative
“Folks, we are in the midst of dangerous times...”

Packed away in the thousands of documents released by WikiLeaks Tuesday was one that fascinated talk show host Rush Limbaugh because it links to the narrative of alleged connections between Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign.

“Folks, we are in the midst of dangerous times like you cannot believe, and Donald J. Trump is the target,” he said.

Limbaugh noted that in the documents showing how the CIA hacks a vast array of electronic devices was evidence that the CIA often mimics Russian hackers.

“By the way, in the WikiLeaks dump today of thousands and thousands of documents from the CIA, do you know what is included? A little program called UMBRAGE. What this program is, apparently the CIA has the ability to mimic Russian hackers. In other words, the CIA has the ability to hack anybody they want and make it look like the Russians are doing it,” he said.

“Isn’t that interesting, given everything we’ve been told about the election? ‘The Russians hacked the election, that the Russians did this, the Russians did that.’ So far we don’t have any evidence the Russians did anything! But we have all kinds of supposition that the American deep state is deeply involved in whatever sabotage is being conducted on the Trump administration,” Limbaugh said.

“The evidence the Russians were involved? Nobody’s got it. Everybody runs around and talks about it as though it’s a fait accompli, but there isn’t any evidence,” Limbaugh noted.

Limbaugh said liberals and the media sought to manufacture a way to attack Trump.

” … (S)o I think because of everything that we’re learning here, the danger that Donald Trump has faced ever since he won the election is greater than we’ve ever known,” he said. “The establishment of this country — whatever you want to call it, the ruling class — is desperate. We’re living in times they never thought possible or didn’t consider likely, and that is somebody from outside their group being president, being vice president, being secretary of state, being secretary of commerce, being attorney general. This kind of thing, this is such an assault, and it’s got them in a state of panic.”

Limbaugh said that the claims of Russian connections to the Trump campaign were “a pretext to have a never-ending investigation of Trump.”

Limbaugh suggested that a Trump supporter is behind the dump of CIA secrets.

That’s what I thought when i first read it. Doesn’t prove that the cia did it but sure does indicate they had the potential.
Our,the country’s, problem is all the agencies are loaded with clintonistas and obamaites they are paid operatives and will screw over anyone they don’t care. We need to get rid of that cancer once and for all.

Talk about a different point of view! Will read this as balance to both right and left narratives.

I’m on first cup of coffee, so can’t figure out if RT is Wikileaks, has a backdoor into Wikileaks, or Assange is a Soviet agent. He is a socialist. What thinks you?
