Isn't this an attack?
Posted by mspalding 3 years, 10 months ago to Government
The Russians used 1,000 engineers to create the Solarwinds hack. They got into many government agencies including Homeland Security and they took down many private companies. Doesn't this count as a military attack? What is the proper response?
Do you "trust" Microsoft? I don't. They have proven repeatedly to be less than truthful. Lately they have proven to be an agent of the state.
The state wants a war with Russia? War is the power of the state.
I can speculate, too. I speculate that it was just one brilliant guy and his name was John Galt.
Many of them correctly blame the deep state corporations for destroying any chance for Russia to recover as a country of free people and free markets after the collapse of the Kremlin. Russians were economically raped with the deep state taking unearned profits galore. Since then the deep state has been economically raping Americans at every opportunity. We share a common enemy.
This has been going on for many years. All of these countries are looking for vulnerabilities and ways to do damage.
Personally, I'd rather have it this way than have things escalate to violence.
Can't expert hackers make it look like someone else came a-hacking?
Russia would make a great fall-guy, especial after all that phony Russia! Russia! Russia! collusion the Dems and Fake News barked about throughout Trump's presidency.
Pay close attention. What he is doing is NOT HARMING Russia, and he is NOT INVADING Countries.
Although, as Putin said, despite this, WE and NATO have POINTED MORE MISSILES than ever at Russia.
The Globalists want him out. He kicked out some of them from his banking system, to get out of debt.
They won against Trump, because in Russia, Putin is WILLING TO KILL his crooked opponents. (Wrong by our standards, but honeslty,
if it meant we had trump back in office, and exposed the issues with the election, I would prefer Putins way, and quite a few bodies stacking up.
Instead of the DEEP STATE being afraid, they are GENERATING FEAR and GAINING OBEDIENCE. And, FWIW, ask HANEY if they kill people.
Just one more unsolved (SETH RICH) murder when you cross the Deep State!)
Finally, we KNOW about leaving FAKE Fingerprints. Our own NSA Developed it with the CIA, and they "validated" the hacks for the FBI and others by saying "Yep, those are Russian Fingerprints". DO YOU REALLY TRUST ANY OF THE 3LAs (3 Letter Acronyms)? I don't. I think Vince Foster is a prime example. FIRST TIME an FBI Photographer EVER double exposed BOTH cameras films (Yes, they use 2 cameras, to be certain). And both sets of film were ruined. Despite this, within 6 months, I believe they were promoted, and then promoted again... Strange... Like the Chief of police over Seth Rich case getting a 6+ figure job with the NFL after losing the OFFICE GoPro videos.
We are being LIED to and LED to our conclusions. I refuse to participate!
1) wait for a weather pattern where Iran will be down wind from Russia for at least a few weeks
2) BOOM, Iran will suffer a horrific nuclear "accident" wiping out all the bomb making capabilities
3) Conversation between White House and Kremlin:
WH: Vlad, what the hell was that!???
Putin: Fagetaboudit, you don wanna know. Click.
Our Response: LABEL their puppet a dictator, and pick a fight, while we TRAIN the insurgents.
Ukraine? That is ALL ON US. We stole their GOLD, indebted them to us, staged the coup and TRIED to pick a fight with Russia.
Russias Response? Taking Crimea? (No. They had it in their constitution that if things with Ukraine Fell Apart, the Crimeans could VOTE to secede. And they did. REALIZING it is a HUGE Russian Naval Base. They would have went to war with Ukraine, but there was no need!)
Is Putin Perfect? NOPE. Nobody is. Has he let his team "push" on borders around Ukraine/Crimea? Sure...
Did he RIG the Crimean Vote? (He's been accused of it, but I think the fact that EVERY NAVY person and MILITARY person voted won the day, but he COULD HAVE shipped a bunch more military in there to run up the vote. I have seen no real evidence of this)
Would I take him for the President of the USA over Biden? Certainly. Would I give Biden to the Russians? NEVER, I like the Russian People MUCH TOO MUCH to do that! That would be CRIMINAL, like it feels for us, to have a Biden Presidency.
Meanwhile... We are going to need an ALLY to stand up to China... China cannot take us both on, but EITHER ONE with the other keeping their nose out of it, is dangerous. Because China is killing us with Fentanyl, destroying our education, bribing our elected officials... I think Trump was right, again... China is the problem we need to worry about!
no pipelines in Europe to compete with Russian gas.
Recall, Joe has canceled the Keystone pipeline, but the US is 'believed' to be brokering a pipeline running across Afghanistan. Three possible reasons-
1. Being nice to the ruling Taliban. But there are easier ways if this what you want.
2. Bringing more natural gas to the global energy market. But no benefit to the US as still close to energy independent thanks to Trump.
3. Competition for Russian gas. I think that would be it, ok relations are not good US/Russia but no need to make them worse, there is a bigger problem.
If you look into our pipeline, Obummer and his crew wanted a hefty LIFE LONG percentage from these people, and anything less was the deal killer.
We are using TRAINS which have a far worse ECO track record. But wait, BUFFET profits and shares that. He bought into CSX as they were bleeding,
and before the Pipeline was announced to be stopped. Then bammo. He gets in, and they announce it.
Even with the ME pushing pipelines through syria. Look at Ted Cruz talk about the pipeline he shut down, that Russia was working on to Germany.
This is ALL GRAFT and CONTROL before politics, THEN it's politics... The worse kind, used as a weapon to bankrupt.
Pay the ukrainian oligarchs, get your family in on the good deals and you will use your government position to defend them.
The middle east is no different. And the media is COMPLETELY IN ON IT. Where is the coverage of what happened to SADDAMS Gold or Ghaddafi's gold?
We are talking HUNDREDS of tons of gold. Did those bankers just get to keep it? Yep, as long as the greased the right wheels.
And the OIL contracts changed hands, and now HRC and her people are getting a percentage of the oil flowing out of their KNOCKED over countries.
When THEY hate us for the oil. It's the US Military USED to help Drug Lords in Afghanistan (Read about Pat Tillman), and our COMPANIES leveraging our sword, in their names to go after the profits from the oil... But NOT the USA itself. This is simple funding for the Deep State. Play along, be rich and well paid. Don't, be killed, silenced, attacked.
== Funny thing about pipelines. With some effort, and available supply. You can shut off the Ukraine end, and feed from another end. But just getting the oil cheaply into the country, delivery will show up. And Russia will lose it's ability to price on need (raising it a LOT during the cold winters).
I think that one of the best things we could do is to educate our own people about just how much IP theft happens via these breaches every year and that it does constitute theft and violation of our sovereignty on a grand scale. We shouldn't put up with it and we should at a bare minimum retaliate with tarriffs and boycotts on products from the nations involved. (If we did that with China alone we could put them into a recession.)
Because WE KNOW what back doors we have into everyones stuff.
The real issue is that THESE things are allowed to be in place. And even Berners Lee is now regretting his VERSION 1 (WWW)
I think the Version 2 (everything is private, no identifiable information, everyone comes through a random black box, and they use micro-services and pay as you go... Shareware style internet. The introduction version is free).
NOTHING should be on the internet that represents infrastructure or Government... Why does my local water facility need to have an internet connection INTO their facility. An OUTBOUND spot to drop off numbers for reporting (like tracking), sure. Through a low bandwidth, highly encrypted, monitored, controlled line. Low speed!
But NOPE. Lets plug the internet 1 stop from Critical Government Databases... And see what happens!
If the power company wants to monitor my meter, let them run a parallel line next to the power. And pay for it. Closed network. Same thing with the water company. Close the circuit to the meters. Yeah, it's a pain to run the wiring. But if you want security, you can't skimp and bail out.
3 times a day, someone pedals their bike over to those boxes, plugs in a USB card, copies the data.
Plugs it into the other side and uploads it. 10,000 Meter readers replaced by a couple of computer operators.
Yep, there is a DELAY. No longer real time.
You want to know your balance, etc. Request it. During upload a text message will be sent to your phone. [Read Only and Write Only, GAPPED].
But in general, I agree. One Network to "Expose them All" was a bad idea. The clear-text original designs. OMG...
The key point is. THE INTERIOR network should NOT be network enabled to the internet. I've worked in a HUGE company in Norway. They were so paranoid that they had firewalls preventing anything but internet access from inside the conference rooms! I agreed with that.
