How Dumb is the CIA episode seven
The Washington DC End of the DNC Mails Story
or How Lies Meant to ‘backstop’ Lies Invites Fall-guys
“Crowdstrike, a firm that analyzes threats to network security, revealed that the DNC had called it in to inspect the party’s servers, where it found “two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network.” Crowdstrike released a comprehensive report of its findings on June 14, which accompanied a Washington Post article detailing the attacks. One of the hacking groups, Crowdstrike found, had access to the DNC servers for almost a year”
Now, recalling the preceding, look at this next, a case of ‘he said, she said’
“According to the [DNC] group, the FBI never asked to see their servers. But FBI Director James Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee back in January that the FBI did”
In any case, the FBI was more than willing (to the time things became ‘sticky’ and routine face-saving lies to Congress becomes necessary) to rely on ‘Crowdstrike’ instead of conducting their own analysis. But Crowdstrike is a true ‘Tar-Baby’ of Uncle Remus fame…
…pointing back to Clintonistas at the Obama era John Brennan’s CIA via Google’s 100 million investment in Crowdstrike. Google has been an agency project from its inception:
“It is not precisely clear when the company caught the attention of America’s intelligence agencies, but high-level whistleblowers suggest it was early on in the company’s history. In a 2006 interview, ex-CIA agent Robert David Steele suggested that it was from the very outset.
“I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up,” Steele said in the interview. “They’ve been together for quite a while”
“Steele also fingered the company’s point man in the CIA: Dr. Rick Steinheiser in the Office of Research and Development”
This earlier reporting, by Corbett Report, is reinforced with subsequent investigative reporting by Insurge Intelligence:
“Thuraisingham’s account … demonstrates that the CIA-NSA-MDDS program was not only partly funding Brin throughout his work with Larry Page developing Google, but that senior US intelligence representatives including a CIA official [Dr Rick Steinhieser] oversaw the evolution of Google in this pre-launch phase, all the way until the company was ready to be officially founded. Google, then, had been enabled with a “significant” amount of seed-funding and oversight from the Pentagon: namely, the CIA, NSA, and DARPA” [sic]
In the case of following CIA linked investments, Google doesn’t invest 100 million in anything that will not become agency invested-responsive. That’s Crowdstrike. But there’s more.
Next, we come to the problem with the so-called (British MI6 veteran spook Christopher Steele produced, not to be confused with former CIA officer Robert Steele) ‘Steele Dossier’ and the idea it isn’t so much what it does contain or does not contain, inasmuch as what it actually accomplishes, versus what it had been intended to accomplish.
It was in this phase, Guccifer 2.0 had dropped the now thoroughly debunked bomb…
“Big League Politics asked Carter about the identity of the original author of the Guccifer documents.
“For one thing, we know Flood was not the original author of the docs,” Carter told BLP. “So, it’s definitely odd to see that he’s shown as author of any of them initially.”
“Carter elaborated that “Flood (or someone using a computer that had MS-Word set up by Flood using his own details in the past) actually started out by creating a blank file with a Russian stylesheet entry in it.”
“This was then saved as 1.doc, 2.doc and 3.doc,” he said. “Then 30 minutes later, on another computer, with MS-Word registered to the Russian name (the Soviet secret police founder that has been dead for almost a century). Each of those files was opened, had content copied into it (assumably from the original documents) and was then saved (writing the Russian name into the metadata at that time)”
…at WordPress it was he responsible for hacking the DNC and his documents subsequently identified as Russia originated, a story immediately picked up and run with by reliable Central Intelligence Agency cover story laundering outlets Washington Post (here) and New York Times (here.) But Russian intelligence would never be so stupid and we know now the Guccifer documents had initially been copied into a computer registered to Warren Flood, a sometimes DNC operative and former computer tech for Joe Biden. Thank Crowdstrike for that, a choice made to throw the bloodhounds off, credit should always be given where credit is due. And then…
…the duped Clintonistas at the DNC immediately ran with this disinformation to the CIA connected Fusion GPS (the DoJ-CIA inter-agency/incest/compromised connections are there) which in turn handed it off (sub-contracted it) to Britain based Orbis Business Intelligence and ex-MI6 spook Christopher Steele who created (out of thin air) ‘evidence’ the Russians had colluded with Trump. This ‘evidence’ was, in turn, fed (by Steele) to the Clintonistas at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, entrapping the Department of Justice’s FBI (a case of poetic justice concerning the masters of entrapment) who were more than happy to take a ‘reputable’ spook’s report at face value. What the Clintonistas at the DoJ and FBI, in their ecstatic state at the ‘dossier’ content, failed to recall is, spooks are trained and paid perjurors, in the first degree:
“Professional standards require intelligence professionals to lie, hide information, or use covert tactics to protect their “cover,” access, sources, and responsibilities. The Central Intelligence Agency expects, teaches, encourages, and controls these tactics so that the lies are consistent and supported (“backstopped”). The CIA expects intelligence officers to teach others to lie, deceive, steal, launder money, and perform a variety of other activities that would certainly be illegal if practiced in the United States. They call these tactics “tradecraft,” and intelligence officers practice them in all the world’s intelligence services” -Hulnick & Mattausch, “Ethics and Morality in U.S. Secret Intelligence”
This small fact is an imperative part of spook job description. More than ‘coincidental’ to this, by the time John Brennan had met with James Comey at the end of 2016, and Comey came away ‘agreeing’ with the ‘intelligence’ promoted by the CIA … it was too late for the DoJ’s FBI to back out of what by then they had begun to realize was a bogus dossier, a ‘novel’ if you will. But now that it’s too late, with the FBI badly trapped in the CIA’s lies or ‘bought in’ to running with the story whether they like it or not; if/when the entire operation comes unglued, it is the Department of Justice will become the patsy (and deservedly so.)
Did the CIA deliberately entrap the FBI? At some point, certainly yes, knowing they would need their ‘Russians hacked the election’ information operation (PSYOP) ‘backstopped’ (spook lingo for a credible witness to back up the lie.) The DNC’s Crowdstrike hire is where the CIA’s operation had to have been initiated, Guccifer is certainly their asset, and it was the Orbis MI6 veteran spook, Christopher Steele, was tasked with entrapping the FBI, the real reason behind his having independently-incrementally fed the false ‘dossier’ information to the Clintonistas at FBI and DoJ (who lapped it up like shit-eating dogs.)
Clearly Google invested Crowdstrike profiles (strongly) as the CIA asset which had been tasked with manufacturing evidence, for the cover story Central Intelligence would create to exploit the DNC data loss, and the FBI was encouraged to rely on the Crowdstrike exam of the DNC servers to keep that agency from having investigators develop and be in possession of information at odds with the CIA’s story line.
This all having been clumsily engineered and destined to unravel comes as no surprise at all, the Central Intelligence Agency senior management of the present day is beyond stupid:
How Dumb is the CIA part one, part two, part three, part four, part five & part six … each of the preceding a fully stands alone, educational episode, if you enjoy dark humor; now we have concluded part seven.
Meanwhile, over at WikiLeaks, Julian Assange completely blew his so-called ‘whistle-blowing’ organization’s opportunity to set the record straight … and those of you who’d read Incompetent Espionage & WikiLeaks (III) know the rest of the story, republished here:
16 September 2017: Antiwar.com reports:
“Under this deal, which was reported by the Wall Street Journal, Assange would provide conclusive proof that Russia was not the source of hacked emails WikiLeaks published. In return, he would be offered a pardon, or some other assurance that he wouldn’t be prosecuted by the US for involvement in WikiLeaks.
“Rohrabacher brought this deal to the White House Wednesday [13 September 2017], but Chief of Staff John Kelly not only apparently didn’t like the offer, but didn’t tell President Trump that the offer had been made, instead telling Rohrabacher to take the proposal to the intelligence community.
“The intelligence community almost certainly wouldn’t be in a position to offer any sort of amnesty for Assange, which likely means the end of the proposal. Rohrabacher offered to set up a meeting between Assange and a Trump representative, but that too appears to have been dismissed by Kelly”
So, the generals keep Trump sequestered like the Vatican keeps a rampant pedophile priest under wraps; away from any real work and responsibilities (in this case, kept from knowledge of what’s actually going on in the world.) But now, with the Wall Street Journal blowing the whistle, Ivanka should soon be whispering in her daddy’s ear; and what will tell you everything is, what happens next. Suppose Trump keeps his mouth shut and says nothing? This will indicate the absolute completion of the Pence aligned generals capture of the Oval Office.
But the real news here is, Assange provides evidence of his belief that he is personally more important than any unconditional release of information which should stop the Pentagon and NATO’s pursuit of a war footing directed at Russia in its tracks.
Narcissism? Is there a stronger word? Julian Assange, who fancies himself ‘Jesus of the Digital Age’ would appear to be tired of bearing his cross. The Roman’s puppet, King Herod, hasn’t been authorized to provide the pardon and Pontius Pilate’s (read Mike Pompeo’s) people will deliver Jesus of the Digital Age to crucifixtion on behalf of the ‘duopoly’ mob, to satisfy their blood lust. Good luck with the world’s biggest ‘deal-maker’ (read loser) Wikileaks, because you blew it by waiting too long.
The entire sand-castle (a product of Obama CIA Director John Brennan’s imagination) the “Russians hacked the election” is finally washing away with an incoming tide. How this plays out is anyone’s guess.
The open question is, how the new information will be leveraged, if it were to actually break into the open widely, with the bad boy Trump essentially captured by the surreal evil that surrounds him. Other than pure evil (e.g. Pence), only a narcissist or a fool would ever desire to be president of this particular republic. In ‘The Donald’, we have both.
1 August 2017 an audio tape is leaked in which Seymour Hersh states the FBI knows it was Seth Rich leaked the DNC mails:
“What the [FBI] report says is that some time in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer. Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC” -Seymour Hersh
On 9 August 2017 The Nation magazine publishes a column on a group of independent experts…
“Forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, system designers, program architects, and computer scientists of long experience and strongly credentialed are now producing evidence disproving the official version of key events last year”
…demonstrating the DNC mails were leaked, not hacked.
On 18 August 2017 Antiwar.com reports Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has met with Assange concerning the DNC mails and [the article] further credibly suggests Assange is holding the DNC leak evidence hostage as a bargaining chip to possibly acquire a pardon for himself and leverage wikileaks into legitimacy with a President of the United States who at this point is owned by the USA’s intelligence agencies, a hare-brained scheme destined to fail. Assange & company waited too long.
But this would fit Julian Assange’s self-centered, persecuted-savior complex which never ceases to amaze, this guy (as well, Craig Murray) has allowed the idiots surrounding Trump to push us towards the brink with Russia, for months. All because Assange is tired of his embassy confinement in London, a circumstance that is entirely his own fault for the fact he didn’t have the self-discipline to keep his dick in his pants (whether Assange’s admitted intercourse was a case of rape or not.)
What’s more is, this blog pointed to strong circumstantial evidence it was Seth Rich leaked the DNC mails this past January, and recalling this, it still stretches the imagination a former UK ambassador would make an amateur espionage move worthy of a cub scout playing spy. But that’s what Craig Murray had done in the case of the DNC emails leaked to WikiLeaks.
Seymour Hersh states Seth Rich is the source of the DNC mails. Craig Murray states he had met with the source of the DNC mails. A + B = C:
Craig Murray met with Seth Rich
That Murray would be a high value target for American counter-intelligence to monitor for the reason of his high profile association with WikiLeaks is beyond obvious. For Murray then to state…
“I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things”
…goes to the practically bizarre when coming from a former United Kingdom ambassador to Uzbekistan. The UK is little different to the USA in the case of embassies providing cover for spies; in which case Murray should at least have some rudimentary espionage understanding such as YOU DO NOT MEET YOUR SOURCE DIRECTLY WHEN YOU ARE A HIGH PROFILE TARGET OF YOUR ADVERSARY’S COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE HUNTING YOUR (in this case, WikiLeaks) SOURCE(S)
Then, we had WikiLeak’s Assange giving what amounts to a ‘Glomar’ ‘I will neither confirm or deny’ response concerning the murder (assassination) of Seth Rich after appearing to suggest Rich was the source of the DNC emails leak:
Beyond this, WikiLeaks offering a $20,000 reward for the solving of the Seth Rich murder is laughable, that’s what an American west coast upscale community would offer for the arrest of a serial killer of the neighborhood’s cats. Two million dollars might get two seconds’ attention of a corruptible counter-intelligence agent with knowledge of a professional hit on Seth Rich, twenty million might even net an inside the agency sucker willing to take the exceedingly high risk to one’s life (almost certain death) that would attend selling out an agency hit man for substantial lucre. In truth, the WikiLeaks reward offer amounted to little more than a tabloid publicity stunt.
Narcissism is a blinding thing; and a self-righteous narcissism is no exception. Ambassador Murray could have every good intention but on the face of it, he had seriously screwed up. Murray and WikiLeaks should have immediately come clean, there was little to lose. Seth Rich was the source, Murray had met with him, and much could have been gained by stating so; there would be nothing given up any intelligence agency involved did not already know. It have been the right thing to do.
Craig Murray stating ‘I had a serious lapse of professional judgement and this resulted in the death of Seth Rich’ would be the most responsible and newsworthy move WikiLeaks could have taken; to counter the CIA’s ‘the Russians hacked the DNC’ propaganda lie, in which there is much invested by the agency; and the consequent damage to relations with Russia, and growing threat to what little world peace yet exists, is immense. WikiLeaks should have done the right thing a long time ago and they have not. Why not? Because Assange and WikiLeaks believes Assange’s comfort is more important than world peace. What fucks. This is beyond inexcusable, it’s criminal. But for Murray, there’s more at stake here than just a hit to ego & image.
Murray’s likely role in the DNC leaks case? A personal meeting with Rich to confirm for WikiLeaks Seth Rich was a bona fide insider with authentic material prior to a WikiLeaks cash payment to Rich and arrangements completed for the mails transfer.
Now, it is a question of ‘damned if you do and damned if you don’t’ release the evidence because WikiLeaks waited too long, and let the criminals surrounding Trump consolidate their power while investing deeply in the myth of the Russians hacked the election; a criminal cabal that will up the ante on the world stage to any level necessary to avoid accountability. WikiLeaks Idiots. WikiLeaks Morons.
Meanwhile, Murray subsequently barred from the United States (except that he applies for a visa, typically unnecessary for a British citizen) appears to have been, in a manner of speaking, a deep state message to Murray: ‘thank you very much for the lapse of judgement, we have taken full advantage with the assassination of Seth Rich and we won’t be requiring your services after this’ (he’d be smart to stay away.)
The really sticky problem for WikiLeaks in this scenario is, Seymour Hersh asserts in the recorded call WikiLeaks had paid Rich for the leaked documents, damaging or reducing to element of pretense WikiLeaks claims of journalism & providing rationale for deep state prosecutors & judges to find this had been straightforward espionage. But they won’t do it if the Rich-Murray meeting stays buried, a LOT is invested in ‘the Russians did it’ for the public consumption. If it DOES break open, Murray’s ‘goose is cooked.’ It’s now not only WikiLeaks problem in a larger sense, but Murray’s, whether he does or doesn’t admit the assassinated Seth Rich had been the DNC mails source.
Murray’s reputation? C’est la mort.
