Mike Whitney — The Russian Hacking Story Continues to Unravel

A new report by a retired IT executive at IBM, debunks the claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign by hacking Democratic computers and circulating damaging information about Hillary Clinton. The report, which is titled “The Non-Existent Foundation for Russian Hacking Charge“, provides a rigorous examination of the wobbly allegations upon which the hacking theory is based, as well as a point by point rejection of the primary claims which, in the final analysis, fail to pass the smell test. While the report is worth reading in full, our intention is to zero-in on the parts of the text that disprove the claims that Russia meddled in US elections or hacked the servers at the DNC....

Skip Folden's report is stupendous. Long, but thorough and NOT tedious.

The Guardian is having is conference soon entitled, Is Russia Hacking The World, at £30 a ticket. They had no comment section underneath the announcement otherwise I would have laid into them and they would have banned me. Anyway, we know the American government is spying on its citizens, and we know the CIA has always meddled in other countries elections.

The media can spin any story they want, so they could have chosen the story of how Clinton disposing of those emails in a private server was considered treason by some government agencies until they shut up. And they could have concentrated on the content of the emails but that didn't interest them either, no, they prefered to flood the whole media with stories that had no evidence substantiating them. A whole pack of lies but the media has run with it for over a year.

Many people and I have written into the Guardian readers section, CiF, showing the evidence that the Russian hack story was a fabrication. I have written to the Guardian editors with extracts and links to reports which shows that the Russian hack story is fake news, and I have written numerous times to George Monbiot about it saying, Hi George, I've got a great story for you, but no, complete silence. What sort of journalism is this, when lies are printed as fact and facts are ignored?

They could have pursued torture, war crimes and crimes against humanity, too. In stead they buried it.

Media = propaganda.

"Mainstream" (really corporate) media will ignore this and continue to trumpet non-existent causes for further global aggression.
