CrowdStrike: Five Things Everyone Is Ignoring About The Russia-DNC Story
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/24/17 | Justin Caruso

Posted on 06/25/2017 8:03:32 AM PDT by ColdOne

The Democratic Party and mainstream media have become increasingly consumed with the narrative that Donald Trump’s election win is largely influenced by Russian hacking.

The narrative is centered around two hacks–the hack of a DNC server that led to the release of embarrassing emails during the Democratic National Convention, and the hack of John Podesta’s email which led to several embarrassing moments for the Clinton campaign in October 2016. Both are supposedly the result of the Russians.

The Russia story is back in the headlines once again after reports surrounding former President Barack Obama’s attempts to “punish” Russia for its interference.

However, there is still a cloud of doubt hanging over the DNC’s Russia narrative on the breach of the DNC servers.

The analysis that alleged that Russia was behind the DNC server breach was carried out not by the U.S. government, but by the private security group CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike is the sole source of this claim, with their June 2016 report, “Bears in the Midst: Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee” being the basis of the DNC’s Russian hacking allegations.

Here are five key points about CrowdStrike that the mainstream media is ignoring:

Putin and Trump are anti-globalist and anti-open borders.

The whole Russia/DNC/Trump lie is based on that - to bring down both.

Leftist thugs want a global totalitarian Marxist state. No countries, no freedoms. Brutal oppression and the violent destruction of Christianity and Western Culture.

If Hillary had won the election, they would be well on their way. THAT is why they are so angry.

First, CrowdStrike was started by McAffee scumbags in 2012. They are called scumbags because they wrote viruses for which they terrorized their customer base to buy anti-virus software to guard against the viruses they wrote.

Second, CrowdStrike was funded by Warburg-Pincus in September 2013. Warburg-Pincus is Rothschild.

Third, and most importantly, the DNC leaks were not ‘outside hacks’, they were inside leaks. The DNC leaks as inside leaks could not be Russian state actors because that would destroy the Trump-Russia collusion lie.

Seth Rich was one of the inside DNC leakers. He’s dead. There exists another leaker being held back under protection and kept anonymous by lawyers for the $300 million class action lawsuit of Bernie supporters against the DNC. There are many other dead bodies related to the investigation of the DNC.

There is a motion to dismiss filed by the DNC against the class action lawsuit. I will bet the judge in that case will be getting or has already received a ‘message’ about he or she needs to grant that motion.

I contend the email servers were rendered so insecure precisely to allow foreign agents easy access, in return for ridiculous payments for trivial speeches. Akin to putting a million dollars in a duffel bag, leaving it locked in a screened front porch, then feigning surprise when it’s stolen during a narrow timeframe.

The CrowdStrike report does not connect the dots, does not show that the virus infections are even capable of sending the e-mails.

The report relies on inference. Because there is a virus, the virus took the emails to Russia.

That the CIA, FBI and NSA accepted and amplified the leap to conclusion (source of Wikileaks DNC leak is "the Russians") is troublesome, too.

By now, the false conclusion is treated as an article of faith by the press and by Congressional investigators. Questioning an article of faith is dismissed as kookery and unfounded.

- (CNN) A laptop with highly sensitive information was stolen from a Secret Service agent’s car Thursday morning in Brooklyn and has not been found, according to two senior New York law enforcement officials.
- The officials said the laptop, which was highly encrypted and contained floor plans and evacuation protocol for Trump Tower, cannot be traced or erased by officials remotely, leaving the information at risk of being discovered.

Evelyn Farkas. Lets not forget Evelyn’s name. Live, to Mika on Morning Joe, she was the insane one, who let the cat out of the bag on the Obama intel “community” leaving a drag line behind to entrap Trump and sweep his administration into a false flag operation, called “collusion with Russia”.

Farm is needs to be hauled in as a witness, unless of course they have packed her in ice at the Obama Library.

Not quite.

Blackberry phones and Blackberry laptops (with Blackberry Entreprise Server Software) were used outside the NSA recommended secure phones. Wherever a Blackberry laptop server was, all Blackberry phones would ‘sync’ to it and the available phone conversations/transcriptions, messages, emails would be stored on the server laptop. This is how 650,000 emails and other communications ended up on the Huma/Weiner laptop, and it’s all Pay-For-Play so that it will never see the light of day as long as McCabe is acting FBI Director.

Here’s how it worked:

1. Donate minimum $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
2. Receive a passcode to accounts with forwarded recordings, transcriptions, messages, emails.
3. Listen to all communications each day that Secretary of State Clinton’s Blackberry sync’d over to the Blackberry laptop using her Blackberry phone.

Now Hillary ‘did not know’ people were listening and viewing all of her daily comms. Uh-Huh, sure.

Hillary would ‘broadcast’ all manner of secrets to Clinton Foundation mega-donors so they could buy/short stocks or see that retribution was meted out to their enemies.

I think I have mentioned about a dozen times, so if the Ruskies penetrated the Podesta data base and hacked the e mails, why is no one concerned about the incriminating info in the e mails?

This is like the security guard each day watching a guy leave the warehouse carrying a lunch box. He believe the guy is taking something from the building, pats him down, checks his lunch box and finds nothing. He does this for months and his suspicions are correct, he is just wrong in his believe the guy is secreting stuff on his person. He is stealing lunch boxes.

#6 - The FBI has never asked to interview anyone at "Crowdstrike" related to their "investigation" of the "hacking" of Clinton's ILLEGAL email server.

#7 - Anyone who's read the "Crowdstrike" report knows it was written by a low-level flunky who plagerized the language it contains straight from published Internet security reports and conclusions - none of which "Crowdstrike" produced.

#8 - The "Crowdstrike" report was a joke and even to a casual Internet Security person's trained eye was specifically tailored to make it look like "the Russians did it."

#9 - "Crowdstrike's" founder has refused ALL INTERVIEW requests post the release of their "report" and after that "report" was picked apart for the complete joke that it was.

#10 - The very day the "Crowdstrike" report was released, myself and several other knowledgeable Internet Security Professionals here on FR picked that "report" apart 500 ways from Sunday proving it was a complete f**king joke and had zero clue what it was talking about.

No wonder the "Crowdstrike" folks went into hiding after their "report" was released. It was quickly determined to be NON-CREDIBLE and the fact that the FBI hasn't interviewed a single person from "Crowdstrike" in all this time proves ONE THING: The fix was in FROM THE BEGINNING to make this appear like there was Russian and Trump Campaign collusion.

The entire "Russians did it" story falls apart very, VERY quickly when those knowledgeable in Internet Security and how hacking is actually performed look at it. That's the dirty little secret the lying liberal lamestream butt-hurt media refuses to talk about. They point to "Crowdstrike" as somehow being authoritative on this subject when the truth is these jackwagons can't find their own asses without someone helping them.

The report relies on inference. Because there is a virus, the virus took the emails to Russia.

Have you read the report? It doesn't even do that. It points to several different types of "viruses" (actually malware, but the report uses the word "virus") as potentially being present and then goes onto say "well, if the servers were patched properly this wouldn't have happened. Oh by the way, here's the list of patches to apply!"

The entire "report" is a fucking joke and was written by some half-assed dumb-ass intern working in a closet somewhere. To try and claim that report as "analysis" of a hacking incident strains all credulity!

I have read the report. My brief description was of the inference, not of the report.

The crowdstrike report was funded by the gubmint to say whatever they paid them to say. Dirty lawyers use this same tactic with fake expert testimonies to sway the juries. They call them barking seals. Bark bark bark...jts the russjans...bark bark bark!
