The Communist Party of China has been covertly sending arms to extremist Antifa militants in the United States in preparation for the civil war which is expected to take place after Joe Biden declares himself President for Life and institutes a Marxist dictatorship. The weapons shipments include rocket launchers, directed energy weapons, nunchucks and ninja throwing stars.
President Putin's Q&A was a return to form tour de force. 68 years old and he took on questions for 4hrs 38mins. One of the most important take aways came early in the proceedings that Russia's economy is now 70% diversified IE not oil & gas. In 20yrs from a 90% oil & gas economy to a 70% diversified economy. He said that it is his admin's policy to get Russia further "off the oil needle".
Citing John Corbett, a well-known & well-documented purveyor of conspiracy theories, as a source for war lies, does not imbue this article with the level of credibility you think it does.
It is far more probable that foreign governments attempt to hack US digital infrastructures than it is we have been visited by extra-terrestrials Caitlin, by several orders of magnitude, so the comparison isn't really apt. It's like comparing being struck by lightning with being struck by a car if you try to cross the street without looking. One is far more likely than the other.
I agree we have to be skeptical, & when American government agencies or representatives claim hacking, they need to provide some sort of evidence as to those events, but it does not behoove you to claim that just because they have lied in the past, they are lying now. Past behavior isn't really a solid predictor of present claims, each has to be taken on its own merits & evaluated individually.
What is the reason for pushing out this psyop now? Was Russiagate fading away? Cover up insider trading at SolarWind? Hiding the utter stupidity of making the default password of the update server "solarwinds123". Did the CIA or FBI get wind of some Biden admin policy like renegotiating nuke treaties? Microsoft trying to bully its way to the top of the cyber security market in the same way that CrowdStrike did? Build an excuse to attack Russians in Syria? Build support for an invasion of Crimea? I guess we will find out soon enough.
The Russian culpability was made up from the ravings of some buddies at Fireeye, who've been Russia Huntin' their own fantasy bad guy. They're just a couple of CrowdStrike wannabes with their Fancy Bear knockoff. The source of the Russia Hoax that CrowdStrike was forced forced to tell the Senate Investigation Committee that they just made it up. There was no Fancy Bear.
On the other hand, what's going on is really very big. Every part of the US government is is fully occupied and has been since March 2020. Everything on their servers has been read. There is no way to get rid of them because they've built an unlimited number of invisible entrances.
They've been embedded as network admin in the servers of 18,000 SolarWinds' customers. This includes 425 of the US Fortune 500 companies, and the top ten US telecom companies. Solarwinds Network Management software is used by some of the most important Federal entities and agencies , including the US Military, the Pentagon, the Department of Justice, the State Department, NASA, NSA, US Postal Service, NOAA, and the Office of the President of the United States, for starters.
At first, I was surprised to read that they were occupying servers at the US Treasury, but in subsequent days we've learned there are other affected agencies, including the US Department of State, US NTIA, US NIH, DHS-CISA, and the US Department of Homeland Security.
Now, five days later, we discover that the networks of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) may have been under surveillance since March 2020. The NNSA is government agency responsible for maintaining and securing the US nuclear weapons stockpile. Other targets of espionage operations include the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Office of Secure Transportation, the Richland Field Office of the DOE, and Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories.
We are occupied.
I see it as a real-time demonstration of US vulnerabilities at home, while the US is using weapons of war to terrorize the rest world into obedience to its Rule of Global Empire.
There appears to be little, if any, malicious activity. No leaks. No sabotage. No threats. No demands. Their intrusion into the Department of Energy makes it crystal clear that the hackers were able to access the networks belonging to the U.S. national security enterprise. A DOE spokesperson said that the perpetrators have not attempted to get into critical defense systems.
The Occupation is simply a new watchful "presence" in the black heart of capitalism. The Occupiers cannot be eradicated without rebuilding the entire digital infrastructure. It could even be one hacker, who has been inside the Machine, sorting through the data for the past nine months. A virtual standoff.
Many reports say that CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) originated the claim it was Russian hackers. This is a sub agency of DHS. DHS was one of the hacked agencies. The hack supposedly ran for months without detection across multiple agencies taking untold amounts of info.
So the analogy is Barney Fife, master of perception hires an assistant. After months of money disappearing nearly daily and undetected from the Fife controlled jail cash box, the assistant discovers the ongoing theft. Immediately this crack assistant, who has been at the jail the entire time, also missing the continual theft under his nose, becomes the expert smarter than the thief to know who did it. But instead of covertly setting a trap to trap the thief, the assistant tips off a journalist.
And the reports suggesting that bad actors have been stealing / attempting to steal vaccine research? OMG! They are going to create WMH (weapons of mass healing)! That research should have been open source from the beginning. I really don't believe the public is as stupid as "people familiar with the matter" assume.
Sending weapons to extremists is the Centrist pastime of the US imperial political and ruling class for generations. But even a fictional scenario of someone else doing it in the other direction is presented as proof of the virtue of the US imperial class and the evil of the other.

Who fell for this lie?

I want to know which heads are going to roll in our 17 different spy organizations. What are we paying them for?

Apologise for their conduct on Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Syria etc ? The media and showbiz class are too busy dancing with W and Obama.
