Russia used mainstream media to manipulate American voters

Russia’s disinformation campaign during the 2016 presidential election relied heavily on stories produced by major American news sources to shape the online political debate, according to a new analysis published Thursday.

The analysis by Columbia University social media researcher Jonathan Albright of more than 36,000 tweets sent by Russian accounts showed that obscure or foreign news sources played a comparatively minor role, suggesting that the discussion of “fake news” during the campaign has been somewhat miscast.

Albright’s research, which he said is the most extensive to date on the news links that Russians used to manipulate the American political conversation on Twitter, bolsters observations by other analysts. Clinton Watts, a former FBI agent and disinformation expert from the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, said that by linking to popular news sources, the Russians enhanced the credibility of their Twitter accounts, making it easier to manipulate audiences.

This Russian story was not about manipulating American voters or sabotaging elections. It was about stealing $billions by sabotaging equipment.

www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3026811/white-house-follows-uk-govs-
lead-and-blames-russia-for-reckless-notpetya-attack


THE WHITE HOUSE has followed the UK government in blaming Russia for last year's NotPetya attacks.

Just hours after the UK's Foreign Office Minister Lord Ahmad named and shamed the Russian military as perpetrators of the "devastating" NotPetya ransomware attack, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued the administration's formal statement.

She called the NotPetya attacks "reckless and indiscriminate" and warned that Russia will be met with "international consequences."

"In June 2017, the Russian military launched the most destructive and costly cyber-attack in history," the official statement reads.

"The attack, dubbed 'NotPetya,' quickly spread worldwide, causing billions of dollars in damage across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It was part of the Kremlin's ongoing effort to destabilize Ukraine and demonstrates ever more clearly Russia's involvement in the ongoing conflict.

"This was also a reckless and indiscriminate cyber-attack that will be met with international consequences."

Sanders didn't elaborate on what these "international consequences" would be, but a White House official told Reuters that the administration is already "reviewing a range of options."

Following the UK and US' accusations, Austrailia has also concluded that Russia was behind the NotPetya cyberattacks. Australia's Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security Angus Taylor said that the government "judged that Russian state-sponsored actors were responsible for the incident."

Unsurprisngly, Russia has denied any involvement in the NotPetya attack, which first struck Ukraine before heading to Europe, caused businesses to suffer "millions of pounds" worth of damage. Shipping firm Maesrk, which lost $300m as a result of the attack, admitted last week that it was forced to reinstall more than 45,000 PCs, 4,000 servers and 2,500 applications after being struck by the "malicious" ransomware.

In a statement given to Reuters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the allegations were groundless and part of a "Russophobic" campaign conducted in some Western countries.

Russia Attacks the World? Would that be good? There are so many targets for the Russians: misleading voters, disabling business computers, shutting down Ukraine's electric power, etc. www.wired.com/story/russian-hackers-attack-ukraine/

Russia's answer always is "You can't prove in an International Court of Law that we did anything. It could have been anybody with a computer, but most likely Obama and Hillary, trying to ruin our reputation. Besides, we won't show up for the trial. Ha ha ha!"

Russia is sponsoring cyberattacks in U.S. homes and businesses, U.S. and U.K. officials warn

The attacks have targeted millions of computer networks worldwide through equipment such as routers, switches and firewalls, according to the officials from the White House, Department of Homeland Security and FBI, and counterparts in Britain. The targets included government and private organizations, including internet service providers, officials said.

Can anyone say russian troll, propaganda and alternative facts? Will sig ever stop pushing Putins agenda. Yeah I know. Once a russian troll always a russian troll.

The obvious theme in these threads is that sig, jack, kiki and jsf, would have us believe America and it's allies, all our combined intelligence agencies, the FBI, our judicial system, the Justice Department, all our judges and DA's, the media in America and that of our allies are lying to us. That Alex Jones is right. That Qnon is right. That's just sick.

This thinking serves only those of us who deal with mental heath issues or see themselves as victims. Have you seen Trumps rallies? He plays the victim as he sells this shit. All the while telling his fellow victims, don't believe what you see and hear because it's all fake.

Let me say that again. Trump is telling his supports to ignore what they see and hear and only believe what he tells them. Him saying that is a provable fact. Sad, very sad.

By the way, JAYNEZTOWN shows up whenever comrade sig wants to go more negative and extreem. She doesn't want anyone to know it's her.

YEP! THEY ARE!
Quote:

CIA director John Brennan lied to you and to the Senate. Fire him
2014
As reports emerged Thursday that an internal investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency’s inspector general found that the CIA “improperly” spied on US Senate staffers when researching the CIA’s dark history of torture, it was hard to conclude anything but the obvious: John Brennan blatantly lied to the American public. Again.

“The facts will come out,” Brennan told NBC News in March after Senator Dianne Feinstein issued a blistering condemnation of the CIA on the Senate floor, accusing his agency of hacking into the computers used by her intelligence committee’s staffers. “Let me assure you the CIA was in no way spying on [the committee] or the Senate,” he said.

Well, yes. Unfortunately for Brennan, the facts DID come out. Brennan was lying.

Quote:

After the CIA inspector general’s report completely contradicted Brennan’s statements, it now appears Brennan was forced to privately apologize to intelligence committee chairs in a “tense” meeting earlier this week. Other Senators on Thursday pushed for Brennan to publicly apologize and called for an independent investigation. Sen. Ron Wyden said it well:

@CIA broke into Senate computer files. Then tried to have Senate staff prosecuted. Absolutely unacceptable in a democracy.


https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/31/cia-director-joh
n-brennan-lied-senate


So, when I call Brennan a LIAR, I don't mean that in generic terms. In this case, he lied and then tried to bludgeon the Senate Intelligence Committee ... yanno, the one that's supposed to provide civilian oversight over HIM. I know of several very specific lies that he told Congress and/or the American people. Lying?? Oh yeah!

or three, or four, or more ...

Yanno, son, if those were teeny-tiny lies that I was pointing to, then you could say that I'm making a "Federal case" out of nothing.

But one series of lies .... and it was a whole bunch of them, including
A forged contract between Nigeria and Iraq for "yellowcake",
"Evidence" about "terrorist training camps" provided by an unreliable informant codenamed "Curveball"
Grainy pictures of nondescript buildings in the desert
Hyperventilation about aluminum tubes
Constant White House propaganda about the Iraq's immediate WMD "threat"
... that got us into a war which cost a trillion dollars, thousands of American lives and hundreds of thousands of Iraq lives.

And then there was the one about the Sarin attack in Douma, which prompted a missile strike on Syria a few days later and ALMOST started a war with Russia

And then there was the one where Brennan attempted to overturn and disable the Senate Intelligence Committee's authority to look over what he's doing. Why should they? After all, they're only providing the money for his operations!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

I'll get to that later.


I've posted more than once that our "intelligence community" lies. Not teeny tiny little white lies (like maggots) but big fat juicy whoppers (like slime eels).

Let's be clear ... I'm not saying that they ALWAYS lie ... after all, they do manage to keep most of what they're doing a secret and so there's no reason to lie ... And I'm not saying that everyone else is always telling the truth. But surely, you MUST be aware by now that our "intelligence community" ... along with the WH and MSM ... do manage to propagate some Big Lies and deliberately stampede people in the desired direction. Which is why you must always be skeptical when you hear/read the Official Line.

What "truth" is that, of which you speak? That our President is a substitute daddy (or mommy) lying awake at night and worried about us, their children? That our unelected and secretive security state is always clean, virtuous, and honest and has nothing but The People's best interests at heart? That Congress is just a group of ordinary people who wrestle day and night with how to best govern our nation?

If that's not what you're trying to say, maybe you should clarify what YOU think is "the truth" right about now. After all, you keep hinting around, but you never actually come out and SAY what you're defending.

And I'll bet you never will, because even you don't know what you're talking about.

Albright’s research, which he said is the most extensive to date on the news links that Russians used to manipulate the American political conversation on Twitter, bolsters observations by other analysts. Clinton Watts, a former FBI agent and disinformation expert from the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, said that by linking to popular news sources, the Russians enhanced the credibility of their Twitter accounts, making it easier to manipulate audiences.
