This whole "Russia colluded with Trump to hack the election" meme has become utterly ridiculous on so many levels. The media is quick to report that Donald Jr. met with a lawyer who supposedly had dirt on Hillary and then wound up trying to influence U.S. policy (to no availe) and THAT, we are breathlessly told, is the smoking gun of collusion, as if any responsible campaigner wouldn't have done the same. It would be irresponsible to not hear this woman out.

What of Donald Jr. not going to the FBI? Why wouldl he? NOTHING HAPPENED AT THE MEETING. And he was under no obligation to inform anyone that it had happend. Why make an issue of it when the news media was already chewing on this thing? There is no point in handing a robber your gun so he can shoot you.

I knew the whole Crowdstrike story; when the DNC was hacked they went not to the FBI or NSA but to a private firm, one with close ties to Google (which had close ties to Obama and the Democrats). All of our information saying the "Russians hacked the election" are based on the report issued by Crowdstrike. But did you know the founder and grand poobah of Crowdstrike is an expatriated Russian? Dmitri Alperovitch was the child of a Soviet scientist named Mikhail, who taught him to code.

According to an article in Esquire:

"mitri Alperovitch knows a thing or two about what the Russians call "active measures," in which propaganda is used to undermine a target country's political systems. He was born in 1980 in Moscow, in an era when people were afraid to discuss politics even inside their homes. His father, Michael, was a nuclear physicist who barely escaped being sent to Chernobyl as part of a rescue mission in 1986. Many of Michael's close friends and colleagues died of radiation poisoning within months of flying to the burning power plant. The takeaway for Dmitri was that "life is cheap in the Soviet Union."

Michael also taught Dmitri to code. Without a computer at home, Dmitri practiced by writing down algorithms on paper. In 1990, his father was sent to Maryland as part of a nuclear-safety training program for scientists. Per Soviet custom, Dmitri stayed in the USSR to ensure that his parents didn't defect. He lived with his grandparents, and when his parents returned, after a year, they brought him his first computer, an IBM PC

In 1994, his father was granted a visa to Canada, and a year later the family moved to Chattanooga, where Michael took a job with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The work was not particularly challenging, so Michael began studying cryptography on the side. While Dmitri was still in high school, he and his father started an encryption-technology business. Dmitri says he loved the beauty of the math but also saw cryptography's fatal flaw: "If someone stole your keys to encrypt the data, it didn't matter how secure the algorithms were."

Alperovitch studied computer science at Georgia Tech and went on to work at an antispam software firm. There he met a striking dark-haired computer geek named Phyllis Schneck. As a teenager, Schneck once showed her father that she could hack into the company where he worked as an engineer. Appalled, Dr. Schneck made his daughter promise never to do something like that again."

End excerpt.

So the Soviets let Mikhail (not Michael, that is a Western name - the writers at Esquire didn't want to use the Russian so as not to make our man sound like a foreigner) come to America at the heighth of the Cold War. Interesting, no? And the old man began studying encryption "on the side", a rather strange pasttime.

Does this smell fishy to any of you? This looks rather like an embed, an old Soviet trick. Yet the media is largely silent on the fact that a Russian immigrant is the primary source for the "Russia hacked the election" meme.

There's more to this story:

"To better understand his adversaries, Alperovitch posed as a Russian gangster on spam discussion forums, an experience he wrote up in a series of reports. One day he returned from lunch to a voice mail telling him to call the FBI immediately. He was terrified. "I was not a citizen yet," he told me.

As it happened, the bureau was interested in his work. The government was slowly waking up to the realization that the Internet was ripe for criminal exploitation: "the great price of the digital age," in John Carlin's words. In 2004, the bureau was hacked by Joseph Colon, a disgruntled IT consultant who gained "god-level" access to FBI files. Colon was eventually indicted, but his attack showed the government how vulnerable it was to cybercrime.

In 2005, Alperovitch flew to Pittsburgh to meet an FBI agent named Keith Mularski, who had been asked to lead an undercover operation against a vast Russian credit-card-theft syndicate. Mularski had no prior experience with the Internet; he relied on Alperovitch, whom he calls "a good guy and a friend," to teach him how to get into the forum and speak the lingo. Mularski's sting operation took two years, but it ultimately brought about fifty-six arrests."

End excerpt.

So now this guy was "posing" as a Russian mafiosa and hacker and wound up being recruited by the FBI. And then there is this:

"his past March, Alperovitch hosted a cyber war game at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Four teams of ten people—representing the government, the private sector, European and Australian allies, and the hackers—met for two hours to play the game. Shawn Henry; John Carlin; Chris Painter, coordinator for cyber issues at the State Department; and Chris Inglis, the former deputy director of the NSA, were all part of the government team. Executives from JPMorgan Chase and Microsoft represented the private sector. A former member of GCHQ, the British intelligence organization, was on the international team. Frank Cilluffo played a hacker. Ash Carter, the defense secretary, arrived halfway through and asked to play, but the game was already under way, so he was politely turned down."

End excerpt.

At the Russia center, with MI5?! British Intel are the ones who gave us the fake "golden shower" dossier on Donald Trump, in which they falsely claimed Trump paid a hooker to urinate on a bed the Obamas slept on. It was ridiculous, and wound up being dismissed in the end, but it made great hay at the time. Curious.

Now, let us leave Alperovitch and Crowdstrike for a moment, but keep in mind that Crowdstrike was paid BY THE DNC and not by the government; he who pays the bills is the boss. And Alperovitch is a member of the strongly Democratic Atlantic Council along with Susan Rice, Mike Mullin, and Trump's biggest critic in the GOP (and the man who promulgated the "golden shower" fake memo - John McCain, as well as globalists like Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brezhinski - father of Trump's top media critic.) There are a couple of other fellows we should meet.

Congressional Democrats entrusted their as of then unhacked servers to a shadowy group of foreign contractors. According to Fox News:

"The investigation was announced last month by the U.S. Capitol Police and purportedly focuses on the contractors' access to House computers and whether they took hardware and made questionable IT-related purchases.

A police spokesman, while declining to go into detail, told Fox News this week that the case remains opens and focuses on "the actions of House IT support staff.”

But a high-level House staffer acknowledged Monday to Fox News that the probe has raised concerns about emails being hacked.

Official documents and multiple sources say at least five contractors -- including brothers Imran, Jamal and Abid Awan -- are the focus of the probe but that as many as six people could be involved.

The others purportedly involved are Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, and Rao Abbas, who is not part of the family.

They allegedly removed hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment from offices, including computers and servers, and ran a procurement scheme in which they bought equipment, then overcharged the House administrative office that assigns such contractors to members.

Sources also say the contractors, including one who worked for Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had "unauthorized access” to the House computer system.

The connection to the former Democratic National Committee boss has sparked questions about whether the contractors could have ties to the DNC hack last summer, which was seen to hurt Hillary Clinton’s ultimately failed White House bid -- or whether Russia or other outside operatives accessed emails that the contractors allegedly put on a cloud server."

End excerpt.

And despite the clear evidence that these Pakistani contractors were sloppy at a minimum with security many Democrats kept them employed as their IT men, giving rise to charges of blackmail. At least one of these men fled the country to escape the probe of his activiy.

Doesn't this smell fishy? But we know exactly who hacked this election; it was that SOB Donald Trump and his BFF, the former KGB guy Comrad Putin.Foun

I ask you, who is wagging the dog? Looks to me like the Democrats have been the ones involved in foreign entanglements.

Hillary had a most profitable relationship with the Russians. She wrangled a huge donation to the Clinton Foundation by smoothing the way for a Russian-owned Canadian company to buy 20% of American uranium. Bill got lavish speaking fees for that, too. And it was Hillary who pranced about with a cardboard "reset" button.

Bear in mind, too, that Hillary's e-mails were a violation of her security clearance and nobody says the Russians hacked those. Nor did the Russians hack John Podesta's e-mails; he fell for a phishing expedition, clicking on an ad and using the word password as his password. Sloppiness took these guys down, not the Russians.

And why would the Russians want Trump over Clinton? Trump wanted energy independence, something that would seriously damage Russian oil and gas interests. Trump wanted to deploy the U.S. missile defense system in eastern Europe (in fact, Mr. Trump just signed a memo to sell patriot missiles to Poland) something against Russian interests. Trump wants to pull back from putting out all of these brushfire wars - starting brushfire wars was the Soviet strategy to bankrupt the U.S. Trump's industrial policy is intended to restore American manufacturing, something that the Russians couldn't possible desire. Hillary, on the other hand, would continue the policies of the Obama Administration, ones that were promised to "Vlad" Putin when BHO was caught on a hot mic saying he'd have "more flexibility" in giving things to the Russians after he was re-elected.

Meanwhile, the woman who Donald Jr. met with had been given a visa waiver to come into the U.S. by the Obama Administration. More and more this looks like a black op, with Russian collusion with the Democrats and perhaps some of our own national security people who are loyal to the Obama regime and wanted it to continue under Hillary.

The smell of rotting fish is making me retch.
