I know this is kind of a dead horse but his comments on NSA's capabilities, and political motivation, are interesting.
....“If [the CIA] are going to allege something like that they should show the trace route, and the path it went and how, and through which path those packets went from the DNC to the Russians to WikiLeaks. They failed to do that,” Binney added.
He said it also wouldn’t be the CIA illustrating the trace route, it would be the NSA as it owns the network and citied a previous occasion when the NSA showed the trace route of a hack from China back to a specific building in China.
“If you did it then, why are not going to do it now when this is a very serious allegation?” Binney said.
“When you send something across the network you are sending it into NSA land, and they own everything,” Binney said. “They have tens of thousands of embedded implants in terms of hardware and software around switches of the world, and they got trace route programs by the hundreds all around the switches, and they are collecting at different points throughout the network in the entire world, redundant collection. So, there is no excuse for them not to have both the content and the trace route, anything going across the network.”
Binney said he thinks the accusation is political motivated. One argument has been a neo-con drive towards sustaining military budgets as the country moves from a “war on terror” toward a “new Cold War.”

I work in computer security and can assure you Russia didn't hack jack in regards to the election. In fact, the only entity that did hack was our very own DHS! Don't believe me look it up.

wasn't there some allegations that DHS hacked into Georgia's voting machines?
whitehand ago
They weren't allegations. It definitely happened and the security company working for the state have the logs to prove it.

Is it going to be hauled out as grounds to de-legitimatize the election? I don't remember did Georgia go for Trump? Was any reason given for this hack? Did votes get switched. WTF? shouldn't Georgia voters be upset?

Georgia voted Trump. Nothing has been released yet that shows votes were switched; however, it is important to note that all of Jill Stein's recount efforts netted Trump more votes than what he originally had. This may be indicative of vote fraud. This is also why the msm quit covering the recounts.

What an f'ing mess. Sorry about all my questions, but you've got me dumbfounded. Okay, so is the implication that the DHS hack switched the votes or that the voting machines were tampered with unrelated to the hack, what is the point of hacking a voting machine if not to switch votes? So basically DHS tampered with the Georgia votes? I wonder what other states? And how does the recount show a difference? Was there a paper ballot initially? DHS could be which agency specifically?

What it was, is the state noticed a port scan, (hacker gathering information) coming from dhs. The Secretary of State messaged the director of homeland security and asked why. Dhs responded that actually they're not sure why but it came from the customs and border patrol section of dhs network and that they cannot explain it because customs and border do not do that sort of testing. This was a scan and since Georgia has very good security there was no breach of the voter rolls contained within. Still not sure who was responsible.

The recounts gained Trump more popular votes by several hundred thousand. https://www.cyberscoop.com/georgia-hack-dhs-brian-kemp-jeh-johnson/ Right before the election this happened: http://www.thehill.com/policy/technology/293522-two-swing-states-decline-dhs-security-for-voting-machines Coincidence? I think not. That pre-election "scan" probably included some root kit or malware for switching votes. Do some research on "fraction magic voting fraud" and spread the word.

thanks for all of this.

You have just been red pilled my friend. Spread the word. Like I said below I see stuff like this on a regular basis. I have even caught a foreign government trying to access my phone while it was on our corporate network. They got stopped by a hardware firewall just like DHS. It is crazy what actually goes on.

I have corruption in my personal life so, yes, yes, and yes, but what was shocking to me was that Georgia was hacked. Like why Georgia? its not that swing, but you commented about that above so, damn I guess that some "people" must think we stupid voters are just ignorant fuckers who aren't going to figure it out. But thanks, because Georgia would not ever have been on my mind, for this.

When they said Texas and AZ were swing states I knew something was up and started investigating. In fact AZ had an interesting little glitch that caused ballot counting to cease the night of the election. I also don't believe Hillary won Virginia but atm I don't have physical evidence to prove otherwise.

I think some experts were saying it could simply be the DHS probing them for whatever reasons. I don't think it's going to turn into anything. I don't think any votes were affected, someone can correct me if wrong.
whitehand ago
I witness our government agencies hack legitimate companies on a regular basis. Welcome to my world! They are probing alright, probing for open ports to spy on everyone just like the NSA.

Thanks for the tip (no surprise). I used to work in marketing and advertising, they probably make heavy use of it. This is crappy stuff.
