CIA--WIKILEAKS--FALSE FLAG HACKING--RUSSIA?

WIKILEAKS DUMP EXPOSES EXCESSES OF CIA SPYING AND PRACTICE OF "FALSE FLAG" RUSSIAN "FINGERPRINTS"

CIA: SOURCE OF WORRISOME "RUSSIA HACKING"?

RUSSIA PARANOIA MAY BE MISPLACED

TRUMP BASHING ON RUSSIA SHOULD END
Yesterday (March 7, 2017) the NY Times reported on the trove of CIA documents released by Wikileaks.(See:"Wikileaks Releases Trove of Alleged CIA Hacking Documents" by Shane, Rosenberg and Lehrer.) The Times states that the nearly 8,000 pages of this "first tranch" of leaked CIA documents may be the largest in history. These thousands of pages describe in detail the sophisticated electronic tools and techniques the CIA has at its disposal to gather information from any individual's smart phone, computer, or even an internet-connected television set. We should be very proud and confident that we are protected by a sophisticated and highly trained security apparatus. The concern is only that it may be turned inward by some rouge actors. That would be very much our concern.

The document dump exposes the amazing sophistication of the CIA's tool box for spying. Included in this tranch of releases are which detail instructions for compromising almost all of the security apps and antivirus programs commonly used to protect one's digital documents from the prying eyes of a bloated government. It describes CIA protocols and practices for crashing a targeted computer, or stealing passwords to access private accounts, The documents reveal that the CIA has managed to compromise both the Apple and Android smartphone's encryption systems by developing a system that collects audio and digital traffic prior to encryption.

One of the most striking revelations--but widely ignored by the MSM--was the startling expose' that the CIA hackers who used these protocols to enter target accounts routinely and systematically leave cryptic evidences or "fingerprints" (digital signatures) behind, termed "false flag" signatures which tend to incriminate other parties, directing inquiry away from the CIA (as one would expect) and purposly directing attention to Russian, Chinese or Iranian hackers. These procedures make perfect sense when attempting to spy on foreign agents who wish us harm. But some suggest the same protocols may have been used during the past election on foreign and domestic targets.

So putting two and two together...one must wonder if all of the past assurances from our own security organizations regarding Russian hacking may be suspect. These experts loudly proclaimed "IT WAS THE RUSSIANS" who hacked into Hillary Clinton's server, the DNC, and John Podesta's emails. But this new information suggest that may have been just so much smoke and mirrors to hide the actual culprits. It is apparent that anyone in the so called "security" or "intelligence" community --all of those experts who assured us that it was the "Russians" who did it would have known at the time of the ability of the CIA to hack almost any system and its established protocol and firm intention to leave "false flag" signatures behind. Of course these high level security experts would not be able to reveal these capabilities for fear of compromising on-going foreign (or domestic) information gathering operations .

The present epidemic of political hysteria claiming that the "Russians did it" played well into a political scenario favored by the main-stream media, the losing Clinton team and the Democrats. It gave them a rallying point and an excuse for fielding a terrible candidate, and a misguided campaign. But with this new information from Wikileaks it seems more likely that what was attributed to "Russian hackers" may have actually been the work of others.

If the Russians didn't do it...all the hoopla concerning Russian "hacking" and "impacts on our elections are just so much nonsense. If the CIA was responsible, the focus of any Congressional investigations must be revised. We must formulate another opinion regarding the political assassination of General Flynn, the harassment of Senator and (later) AG Jeff Sessions, and the Obama Administrations' bumbling into possible felonious behavior as it listened in on conversations between Trump associates in Trump Tower and Russian bankers. Indeed, perhaps we can finally end the constant barrage of stories trying to connect President Trump to some nefarious behavior with the Russians as so much wasted time, battery power and printers ink.
