Dumbstruck: A Homefront Intelligence Report on How America Was Conned About the DNC Hack
Medium ^ | 8/30/2017 | Scott Ritter

Posted on 11/09/2017 10:44:10 AM PST by mojito

....On April 29, 2016, when the DNC became aware its servers had been penetrated, an emergency meeting was held between the Chairwoman of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, DNC’s Chief Executive, Amy Dacey, the DNC’s Technology Director, Andrew Brown, and Michael Sussman, a lawyer for Perkins Coie, a Washington, DC law firm that represented the DNC. Sussman took control of the meeting, setting out the DNC’s agenda when it came to dealing with the cyber attack on its server. The three most important questions, Sussman declared, were what data was accessed, how was it done, and how can it be stopped? The one question Sussman, a former federal prosecutor who focused on computer crimes, did not ask was, who did it?

It took the DNC four days to decide to bring in an outside vendor to investigate the breach of its servers. In the end, it was Sussman who made the call to...CrowdStrike. The call was made on May 4; by May 5 CrowdStrike had installed its FalconHost software that had triggered the Russian attribution.

[....]

For more than 30 days CrowdStrike had exclusive control over the DNC server. During this time, CrowdStrike made an attribution of Russian involvement that has been shown to be fundamentally flawed, and oversaw the transfer of politically sensitive documents, some of which may have been tainted by CrowdStrike’s own actions, to parties who subsequently leaked this material in a politically impactful manner....The data that would shed important light into the most significant claims of Russian involvement in the 2016 US Presidential election...remains out of the hands of those conducting the investigation.

It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that CrowdStrike, by irresponsibly and deliberately attributing the DNC cyber attack to Russia, is involved in deception on a scale that is hard to measure.

Perhaps this one fact is significant regarding Dmitri Alperovitch: he was born in 1980 in Moscow, U.S.S.R.

You’ve apparently never worked with 1950-1960’s-style typewriters if you would assert that vertical alignment is somehow dispositive of the forgery issue.

In typewriters of the time, the largest mass of the typewriter body, to which the character blades are attached, generally moves up and down from pressing on the SHIFT button (and/or holding it, or clicking the CAPS LOCK). Up-and-down motion is thus a normal function of such typewriters and could easily obscure vertical alignment variations as it might correlate to an issue of forgery (which to me seems specious to begin with, but that may be another matter) through less-than-completely-accurate typist technique. To the extent a typist might “ride” the SHIFT button, vertical alignment could vary without any nefarious or forgery intentions ever being involved.

On early typewriters, pressing the SHIFT button took a great deal of force, but over time, and by the 1960s, there were much lighter mechanisms that did not require nearly as much force to be applied to the SHIFT key. An increasingly-lighter main body would only exacerbate a potential vertical alignment problem among typists that were doing their typing with less than optimal technique.

from link:

As Disobedient Media and others have reported, Crowdstrike is a private firm, not an intelligence agency. Crowdstrike also has financial ties to the DNC. Despite all this, it is the only cited source of the Russian hacking claims. To date, the company has refused to provide evidence backing their theory and has refused to allow authorities access to the DNC servers in order to verify them...

In the past, the deep state at least pretended to show evidence of their claims. They showed real photos of Soviet missles in Cuba in 1962. They showed “evidence” of WMDs to convince us that we had to occupy Iraq. What is their evidence of DNC hacking? An “assessment” based on... what? Crowdstrike?

As a Jewess on the US, I can only point out that the number of women who allegedly DATED, but had no sex with, Roy Moore is EXACTLY the same number who accused President Clinton of FORCIBLE RAPE, a FAR more serious offense. Now we know why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST. Just sayin’!

I am 70 years old and most likely was typing when most FP's weren't out of kindergarten. I'm sorry, but you are confused about my explanation of what horizontal and vertical alignment means.

A typical typewriter from that era displays only "monospaced" characters. To appreciate what I am trying to explain, open up an MS Word document and type a long paragraph. Then compare the horizontal alignment of characters by changing the font assignment between "monospaced" (Courier, or Lucida) and a "proportional" font (Helvetica). When in "Courier", scan your finger down the page and see that the characters form a fixed column of characters. This is what typewriters do, and "Courier" was created to simulate monospaced typewriters.

As I said, paste the birth certificate into a Powerpoint or other drafting/drawing program. Select a line-tool and draw a long, perfectly vertical line on top of the BC, so that you can sweep that vertical line left/right across the document. Pick a character from one of the lines of text in the form, and adjust the vertical line you just drew to the edge (or center) of that character. Follow your eye down the vertical line. The characters from each line of the form's text should just touch (or be centered) on your drawn vertical line, by the same amount as the character you chose to calibrate on. Along your vertical line, a "column" of Characters perfectly touching your drawn vertical line "should" appear.

You will see that in many places on Obama's BC that they DON'T align to your vertical line. It means the text, or portions of text were pasted by someone who didn't know what they were doing.

Do I need to make myself any clearer? Let me know that you understand, because you are confusing the readership.

In the 'old days' the press wasn't made up of young pretty boys and bimbos... Liars had to convince the press - THEN the press convinced the rest of us. Took some effort.

Now the liars flash their "D" card (for Democrat) or their "E" card (for 'elite') and they get a pass. Young reporters mixed with corrupt and biased editors makes for a toxic waste... a threat to the very nature of truth in a free society.

In 1983 Reagan’s UN ambassidor Jeanne Kirkpatrick played audio tapes in the UN security council proving that the Russian interceptor had intentionally shot down a civilian 747 (carrying US passengers including a US congressman). Compare that to the current deep state issuing an “assessment” and providing no proof. The political snakes left in the deep state need to go. It is unclear whether Pompeo is one of them.

There is another...the DNC technical director under Wasserman ...who also happens to have been a top dog or the top dog of SEIU, and DCCC and whose name came up in today’s Sussmann trial. She
could have more knowledge of the breach than Wasserman

Amy Dacey ?

She went from the DNC tech director spot before Wasserman Schulz left to the spot as DNC CEO after DWS left.

Connection with SEIU = ruthless criminal.
Here’s a wild speculation (my chronology might be off on DWS departure; it’s been a while):

Amy Dacey, big wheel in SEIU, joins DCCC under Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS). Moves to DNC with DWS. Dacey “finds” a “hack” that ends up forcing DWS out of the DNC. Amy Dacey fills that void. SEIU now in charge of the Democrat Party, and perhaps vice vera.

Was the “hack” engineered by Amy Dacey to drive out DWS and take over the DNC, with the public part merely fallout from her cover story? The political exploitation phase of this might have ensued per a plan, or opportunistically. Would her takeover have been on her initiative or someone else’s?

Scott Ritter is also a convicted pedophile.

Just saying.
