This is a new thread for July 2017 onwards.

The previous thread covering January-June 2017 had 2,127 posts and 89k posts. It has now been closed:The Trump impact on US policy (http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/The%20Trump%20impact%20on%20US%20policy) (ends).

For those that took the time to read thoroughly through and between the lines of the Washington Post article on the Obama response to the Russian hacking and the Russian hacking itself you will notice a referral to the fact that Putin was on tape ordering the hacking and a subtle reference to someone else being on tape....

APPEARS to be that Wapo has one tape and this journalist has heard and been privy to a second tape BOTH confirm and expand on each other...


Paul Ryan Taped With Russian Ambassador On GOP Money#Laundering
https://patribotics.blog/2017/06/09/paul-ryan-taped-with-russian-ambassador-on-gop-money-laundering/


Exclusive: Sources with links to the intelligence community now confirm that a tape exists of Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, discussing how Russian money could be funneled without detection to target GOP campaigns, including Ryan’s.
These sources report that Mr. Ryan is also on tape discussing how he can best use and disseminate Wikileaks material that was hacked from the DNC by Russia in order to win both his own election and election for Trump.
Further, sources say, the tape of Mr. Ryan discussing his knowledge of Russia funding the GOP that has previously been published in the Washington Post is in fact a small fragment of a much more damaging tape.
Patribotics exclusively broke the news of that tape #one week before it was released in the mainstream media. In this story of May 11th I reported:
On Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, normally third in the line of succession, I can report as fact that sources say that Ryan has been legally intercepted, and is on tape, admitting that he knew Russian money was being laundered into the Republican party. Without co-operation pending resignation Ryan may find himself swept up into a RICO prosecution involving the apparatus of the Republican party who accepted laundered Russian money.
A week later Adam Entous at the Washington Post printed his exclusive report on the partial content of that tape.
My sources had clarified, at the time, that this tape was not the same as I had heard previously, namely, that Paul Ryan was directly on tape at the GOP convention discussing money laundering with the Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. Reince Priebus was on tape doing so, these sources said.

Senate GOP is attempting to either impede the Russian investigation and or smear the acting FBI Director McCabe...

Acting FBI boss McCabe referred to Justice watchdog for new investigation over potential conflicts in Russia case.

https://www.circa.com/story/2017/06/30/sen-grassley-is-asking-the-doj-inspector-general-to-investigate-numerous-federal-probes-into-acting-fbi-director-mccabes-alleged-political-conflicts-of-interest-in-russia-probe


The Chairman is also asking the Inspector General to investigate the ongoing sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by former FBI Special Agent Robyn Gritz, which named McCabe and other FBI officials, who she accused of impeding her work within the bureau.
Gritz's complaint was supported by then former Defense Intelligence Agency director Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Flynn, who went on to become President Trump's National Security Advisor, was subsequently fired after highly classified information regarding a conversation he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was leaked to the media.
Flynn's name was captured by federal law enforcement during his phone conversations with Kislyac, but those conversations are considered classified as part of the then ongoing Russia investigation.
Grassley said he was concerned that McCabe would preside over an investigation about Flynn when Flynn was a potentially hostile witnesses against McCabe and the FBI in an unrelated case.

US Intelligence Fear Trump’s First Meeting With Putin

http://thebea.st/2s7xJdM?source=twitter&via=desktop#


Moscow believes its leader, ex-spy master Vladimir Putin, can extract major concessions from President Donald Trump when the two meet for the first time next week, European officials tell The Daily Beast.
The officials say their intelligence indicates Putin thinks he can outmaneuver Trump at the G-20 summit, playing on promises of cooperation on areas like counterterrorism to win concessions like a reduction in the raft of sanctions against Russia.
“When you meet Russia, don’t give anything away for free,” one Western official warned, echoing the fears of many European diplomats ahead of next week’s Trump-Putin meeting on the fringes of the G-20 in Germany.

Conway: Media coverage of Trump ‘neither productive nor patriotic’
http://politi.co/2sr7mUw



“I like the fact that the president uses social media platforms to connect directly with Americans and in this case, what [White House spokeswoman] Sarah Sanders said yesterday is true, that the president normally does not draw first blood. He is a counterpuncher as he said on the campaign trail,” Conway said. “There are personal attacks about his physicalities, about his fitness for office. He’s called a goon, thug, mentally ill, talking about dementia, armchair psychologists all over television every day.
“It doesn’t help the American people to have a president covered in this light,” she continued. “I’m sorry. It’s neither productive nor patriotic. The toxicity is over the top.”

Trump Twitter Wars Continue: New Attack on MSNBC for Firing Greta Van Susteren



President Donald Trump has again lashed out at NBC, this time accusing the network of firing a conservative television personality he felt was more sympathetic to his views.

For the third day in a row, the president launched Twitter attacks Saturday against liberal news station MSNBC, calling out its parent companies NBC and Comcast for letting go former Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren after less than six months on air.Trump claimed he had heard reports that Susteren was fired for refusing what he believes is a concerted effort by the network to smear his image and discredit his presidency.REMEMBER Trump really only listens to FOX News, Infowars, Breitbart.com and Drudge Reports..by his own statements....

Russian propaganda uses the concept of setting a "narrative" in this case FAKE NEWS MSM and FRAUD NEWS MSM.....

It is commonly known that if the "narrative" is repeated often enough then even well educated individuals will start to actually "believe" that it is the "truth"......

WATCH Trump use his latest rallies...he is speaking to his base...NOT the entire US for which he is the President of in theory.....

It is that base he so urgently needs to hold together as the results of the coming Russian investigation and or collusion, obstruction, money laundering and cover up might in fact be actually all confirmed and for him to then fight those charges he needs his base voters to believe "his truth"....

WATCH the Trump use of the key words...FRAUD...FAKE....FAKE and FRAUDULENT...not Presidential.....ALL designed to condition his voters to merge their beliefs to those that he Trump is pushing....Trump is basically creating in his voters minds that ALL MSM lies and is FAKE news...

In understanding Trump's addiction to social media especially Twitter and the need to hold his base of 30% supporters together....they basically really are a unified group of "junkies" if you read slowly this article by National Review a right wing media outlet which I rarely pay much attention to....

BUT with this article which surprises me greatly I totally support the NR on..

ACTUALLY I am rather amazed with the bluntness of the article and for calling a "spade a spade".....

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/449145/donald-trump-media-mika-brzezinski-tweet

Junkie Running Dry


Of course Trump needs the media. Some people simply cannot handle the fact that Donald Trump was elected president.

One of those people is Donald Trump. Trump has shown himself intellectually and emotionally incapable of making the transition from minor entertainment figure to major political figure. He is in the strange position of being a B-list celebrity who is also the most famous man in the world.

His recent Twitter attack on Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe exemplifies that as much as it does the president’s other by-now-familiar pathologies, notably his strange psychological need to verbally abuse women in physical terms.

Trump may have his problems with women, but it is his unrequited love of the media that is undoing him. “I always tell the president, ‘You don’t need them,’” says Sean Hannity, the self-abasing monkey-butler of the Trump regime. The president, Hannity says, can reach more Americans via Twitter than he could through the conventional media. That isn’t true, of course: Only about one in five Americans uses Twitter. Hannity might be forgiven for not knowing this, a consequence of his much more general habit of not knowing things. But he actually does know the president.

How could he possibly believe that this man — this man — does not need them?

He needs them the way a junkie needs his junk.
NOTE......just a side comment...actually NR was sounding the alarm over the possible election of Trump OVER a year ago and warned what might happen if he was in fact elected for the GOP and the right wing in general as they felt that if Trump was elected and did poorly the GOP and right would take the hit for decades after Trump...

HAS the President of the Us finally and completely reverted to a true THREE year old...???

President Trump shared a video Sunday on Twitter of himself slamming WWE President Vince McMahon to the ground and punching him with the CNN logo superimposed over McMahon’s head, escalating his recent attacks aimed at the news media.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-tweets-video-slamming-punching-cnn-145733032.html


The footage, taken from “WrestleMania 23” in 2007, shows Trump approaching McMahon outside of the ring, using a clothesline move to knock him down, and punching him in the head before turning to walk away. The altered clip mocking CNN recently appeared on a Reddit.com message board.
The president’s tweet included a pair of disparaging hashtags: “#FraudNewsCNN” and “#FNN.”“It is a sad day when the president of the United States encourages violence against reporters,” the network said in a statement. “Clearly, [White House press secretary] Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the president had never done so.

The network added: “Instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, ‎dealing with North Korea and working on his health care bill, he is involved in juvenile behavior far below the dignity of his office. We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his.”

On Sunday morning, the Reddit user celebrated that Trump had tweeted out his meme: "Wow!! I never expected my meme to be retweeted by the God Emporer himself!!!"

Many in the subreddit, which has over 441,000 members, took it as validation that the president reads the pro-Trump community that has long promoted alt-right views attacking Islam, minorities, and immigrants. HanA--holeSolo is a frequent participant of such conversations.
In the past, r/The_Donald's have aggressively gamed Reddit's algorithms to see pro-Trump content rise to the top of the site, and have sometimes engaged in abusive behavior against the volunteer moderators and members of other communities on the site — causing significant disruption. In December, Reddit promised reforms to crack down on its most abusive members in the wake of attacks on its CEO.Reminder: 28 people were injured in a shooting at an Arkansas club.

It seems that some at SWJ feel that the use by Russian info warfare is one discussion item BUT the use by the US President of the same tactics as the Russians and the intertwining of US al right ie white nationalist bots, and bot nets is not a discussion basis.....

The accusations of Russian collusion whole still being investigated and not commented on by FBI SC Mueller although there are now 140 FBI investigators and 16 top flight Federal prosecutors should say a lot more than it seems to say to many Americans.

BUT the threat and use of info warfare by Trump and his alt right supporters is just as dangerous as the use of Russian info warfare directed at the US.....

In order to fully understand Russian non linear warfare which actually supports Russian political warfare in this case fully directed at the US you must understand the eight phases of Russian non linear warfare....

BUT the two key elements that support the eight phases we are seeing right now in the US.....and in Europe

1. cyber warfare
2. information warfare .....information warfare also has two parts
a. weaponizing information in general meaning...completely distorting the term "Truth".....to actually mean to people FAKE.....or "alternative truth"
b. weaponizing social media ie FB, Instrgram, Reddit, Twitter etc.


The Russian non linear warfare has eight distinct phases. The first and second phases consist of non-military asymmetric warfare. They include information warfare, psychological, ideological, diplomatic, and economic measures, but also special operations conducted to mislead political and military leaders. Coordinated measures are carried out by diplomatic channels, media, top government and military agencies; they include leaking false data, orders, directives, and instructions. The third phase’s objective is to consolidate the first two, by intimidating, deceiving, or bribing government and military officers, with the objective of making them abandon their duties. The fourth phase is the one including the “polite green men”. It encompasses destabilizing propaganda to increase discontent among the population, boosted by the arrival of bands of militants to escalate subversion. Only with the fifth phase military action per se begins, although still in an indirect way. It consists of establishing no-fly zones over the country to be attacked, imposing blockades, and extensively using private military companies in close cooperation with armed opposition units. This is as far as events have progressed in Ukraine at this moment.

The sixth phase is the beginning of employing direct military measures, with large-scale reconnaissance and subversive missions, including but not limited to special operations forces. The seventh phase is a combination of targeted information campaign, electronic warfare, and aerospace operations, combined with the use of high-precision weapons (long-range artillery, possibly weapons based on new physical principles, including microwaves, radiation/radiology, non-lethal biological weapons). The eighth phase’s aims are to roll over the remaining points of resistance and destroy surviving enemy units.

Only when one fully understands the above and is fully able to process that say the President of the US has roughly 18M non human "Followers"...then you understand Russian non linear warfare.....

If you fully understand and can actually see Trump and proTrump voters conducting info war even in the US against all those that do not support Trump......THEN you fully understand Russian non linear warfare.....THIs though requires one to jump over a shadow...the shadow that yes even Americans can be and are willingly controlled by Russian propaganda and misinformation....no questions asked.

And that is inherently dangerous for US democracy.......and the core question is how is that possible.....

To Make Your Conspiracy Theory Legit, Just Find an 'Expert'

https://www.wired.com/2017/05/conspiracy-theory-experts/


In some neighborhoods of the internet, all it takes to start a conspiracy theory is Photoshop, a webcam, and confidence. Susli—aka PartisanGirl—has thrived in that environment, parlaying a college chemistry degree and a series of conspiracy-minded YouTube videos into a new kind of internet authority. But when conspiratorial musings bubble up into the mainstream web or cable news, it’s not because Don Lemon or Ashleigh Banfield took PartisanGirl seriously. To make it in the major leagues, a conspiracy theory—or any other kind of hoax—has to find a voice with a mainstream claim to credibility. A voice like Postol's.

The data program was especially helpful in October, when the party noticed that Trump had lost ground in Wisconsin compared to the previous month#— and specifically targeted voters who had drifted away in an effort to bring them back, Parnitzke said.
That wouldn't have been possible without a "voter scores" data operation that has been built, expanded and refined over the course of each election since it was launched after Democratic President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012.

This GOP data concept involved the targeted use of specific social media narratives much in the Russian vain of using trolls and automated bots to push a propaganda narrative.....

Trump takes down CNN in mock fight video


Han***holeSolo, the Reddit user behind the now-famous video showing Trump body-slamming the CNN logo, apologized#Tuesday in a post on the website.

In a lengthy post on the popular social media site, Solo apologized for past anti-Semitic posts, and to CNN for the video.

"I would like to apologize to the members of the Reddit community for getting this site and this sub embroiled in a controversy that should never have happened," Solo wrote.
"I would also like to apologize for the posts made that were racist, bigoted, and anti-semitic. I am in no way this kind of person, I love and accept people of all walks of life and have done so for my entire life."

So exactly what affected this end user to go "alt right" in order to impress and join a so called like minded group.......

What were the series of bot tweets and or narratives that "spoke to him" to push him into this area that he claims he never was in????

That is why the Russian and now Trump influence operations are so effective....

NOW couple that with "big data" and the concept of "voting social engineering" and information operations that push such social media messaging and narratives....targeting end users such as above....

AND further.....


"The meme was created purely as#satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation," they wrote.#"I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President's Twitter feed."
Solo went on, calling trolling an "addiction" and urging other Redditors to reject bullying.

The Reddit user also wrote that despite the meme's content, they have respect for the First Amendment and reporters.
"Our first amendment protects the press from things like violence, and we as American citizens should respect that even if the opinions of the press are not in line with our own," Solo wrote.
"I have the highest respect for the journalist community and they put their lives on the line every day with the jobs that they do in reporting the news."

Gas prices are the lowest in the U.S. in over ten years! I would like to see them go even lower.

What is the "narrative" that he is trying to create..."see I as President have been in a short period able to lower your personal gase price to level never seen in the last ten years"....REMEMBER he keeps repeating over and over "I have achieved far more in a short period than any other President"...meant here is Obama....THUS Trump tweets like this are designed to re-enforce that "narrative".....

When "fake" is being used...the user attempts to use a tad bit of "truth"..in this case current gas prices to establish the tweet as "valid truth"...

The target audience then picks it up and uses it to justify their own world views as it "fits nicely" into that world view...

WHAT is though not told the target audience is actually the missing piece of information that would indicate what they are reading is in fact "fake and or a blatant lie"....

The user of this type of propaganda whether Russian and or Trump counts on the fact that the reader and or target audience will never see the counter balancing "truth"....

THUS we see an "alternative truth" being created and used in the place of straight simple facts that anyone can check and use....

Auschwitz Memorial condemns Rep. Clay Higgins for filming homeland security video inside gas chamber at death camp: "It's not a stage"

http://abcn.ws/2unZY9M


Just in time for Independence Day, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Port Barre, has a video message for America. But instead of visiting constituent cookouts, shooting off fireworks and waving the United States flag, Higgins delivers a stark dispatch from the Nazis' Auschwitz concentration camp at Oswiecim, Poland.
"A great sense of dread comes over you in this place," Higgins says, leading the viewer on a five-minute, nine-second tour of the site, with a dirge-like solo violin playing in the background. "Man's inhumanity to man can be quite shocking."
The Auschwitz Memorial's official Twitter account said there should be "mournful silence" inside the gas chamber, where Higgins recorded part of his five-minute video.
"This is why homeland security must be squared away, why our military must be invincible," says Higgins, a former law enforcement officer#who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. "The world's a smaller place now than it was in World War II. The United States is more accessible to terror like this, horror like this.
"It's hard to walk away from the gas chambers and ovens without a very sober feeling of commitment -- unwavering commitment -- to make damn sure that the United States of America is protected from the evils of the world."

Investigators explore if Russia colluded with pro-Trump sites during US election
Questions raised as to whether Trump supports coordinated with Moscow to spread bogus stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/05/donald-trump-russia-investigation-fake-news-hillary-clinton


The spread of Russian-made fake news stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton on social media is emerging as an important line of inquiry in multiple investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
Investigators are looking into whether Trump supporters and far-right websites coordinated with Moscow over the release of fake news, including stories implicating Clinton in murder or paedophilia, or paid to boost those stories on Facebook.
The head of the Trump digital camp, Brad Parscale, has reportedly been summoned to appear before the House intelligence committee looking into Moscow’s interference in the 2016 US election. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee carrying out a parallel inquiry, has said that at least 1,000 “paid internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia” were pumping anti-Clinton fake news into social media sites during the campaign.


In a 30-day period, dozens of full-blown sites appeared overnight, running full level productions posts. It screamed out to me that something strange was going on,” Mattes said. Much of the material was untraceable, but he tracked 40% of the new postings back to eastern Europe.

Four of the Facebook members posting virulent and false stories about Clinton (suggesting, for example, that she had profited personally by arming Islamic State extremists) had the same name, Oliver Mitov. They all had a very small number of Facebook friends, including one which all four had in common. When Mattes tried to friend them and contact them there was no reply.

Here are the top contributors under the #CNNBlackmail hashtag. Mostly the same crew involved in other bot-pushed pro-Trump hashtags.

These accounts often interact with tweets pushed onto Twitter from Russian bots...carrying most of the time the same exact wording .....and or use the Russian tweets to create a "large retwitter storm" to drive a particular hashtag....

NOTE:
The twitter account ELEVEN_GOP is a Russian controlled English language bot that was up to a few days ago titled TEN_GOP and was deeply involved in supporting Le Pen twitter accounts in pushing leaked Marcon hacked emails into France from the US...just before the French election.

APPEARS Twitter suspended TEN_GOP with no warning..... looks like @Support discovered it was a Russian controlled account appearing to be a US account....

BTW..the chart below is a good indicator of the "human2 driving a lot of the proTrump alt right ie white nationalist messaging and proTrump hashtags and in this case...driving the hashtag CNNBlackmail.....

Overnight, the r/The_Donald board that once hosted the user’s apology and plea for peace was filled up with even more anti-CNN memes, and posts calling for a full-on war against the network. The Trump-supporting Redditors picked up an idea from 4chan’s /pol/ board, organizing mass calls and tweet-storms to a long list of companies, demanding they stop advertising on CNN. The story soon spread to Trump-friendly publications like Gateway Pundit and Infowars.


The reference to the Redditor’s age comes from#a tantalizing but extremely unconfirmed detail that began to attach itself to the meme as it spread. Was the user#a 15-year-old kid, as many posts on the #CNNBlackmail hashtag repeat as fact? Even though CNN, and screenshots of the user’s own Reddit history seem to contradict this, indicating that the user is significantly older, the notion that CNN had just threatened to doxx a minor was extremely shareable among Trump supporters, including one of the president’s own sons:

Donald Trump Jr.

"As a site for reflection, one that often evokes deep personal pain for survivors and their families, Auschwitz should never be politicized or used as a platform for giving personal views," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement to NBC News.

"The museum at Auschwitz-Birkenau lies on sacred ground. It is a burial site and a memorial to the estimated 1.1 million prisoners who were exterminated or tortured inside the camp's walls. It is a permanent testament to the brutality of the Nazi regime, and a reminder of why the world should never turn away when forces of hatred and prejudice lead to genocide," Greenblatt added.

Fiona Hill is not "Kremlin Critic." She is the president's senior advisor on Russia. She must attend Putin mtg.
http://thebea.st/2sHPk02?source=twitter&via=desktop#

Watch to see if Trump allows her to be there...which BTW there should never be a discussion on...IF he allows her then one MIGHT have the view he is not connected to Russians....IF though she does not attend those meetings because Trump does not want her there as he did with the Russian FM meeting...THEN you have your evidence of Russian collusion.....


The White House’s best-known Russia hawk is already in Germany, in advance of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the G-20 summit. But whether Fiona Hill will be allowed in the room when the two presidents get together is still very much an open question.
According to two White House aides, senior Trump administration officials have pressed for Hill—the National Security Council’s senior director for Europe and Russia and the author of critical psychological biography of Putin—to be in the room during the president’s highly anticipated meeting with Putin.
If Hill is there, these officials believe, it will help the White House avoid the perception that the president is too eager to cozy up to the Kremlin. The hope is to avoid a repeat of Trump’s last meeting with top Russian officials, during which he disclosed classified intelligence to two of the country’s top diplomats—and was pictured by Russian state media looking particularly friendly with them.

Limbaugh: ‘It Is the End of CNN’

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/07/05/limbaugh-end-cnn/



Partial transcript as follows (courtesy of RushLimbaugh.com):
Hey, let me ask you a question, folks. How many people over the course of your life, over the course of the recent past, months, years, how many people do you know that constantly complain about the media? Everybody, right? Everybody’s always complaining about the media. So over this past weekend I had somebody say, “Do you believe what Trump is doing to CNN?”
I said, “What do you mean what Trump is doing to CNN? It’s not what Trump is doing to CNN. It’s what CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post are doing to Trump!”
So many people have complained to me about the media for all of my life, the entire portion of my life that I’ve been doing this program. “Something’s got to be done. We’ve got to do something. Why doesn’t somebody do something about the media?” And here comes Donald Trump doing something about the media and people are getting nervous. Not everybody. Some people are obviously very supportive and happy about this.

US President Donald Trump is to argue that the future of Western civilisation is at stake in a keynote speech in the Polish capital Warsaw.

Holding up Poland as an example of a country ready to defend civilisation, he will warn against the threats of "terrorism and extremism".
Poland's conservative government shares Mr Trump's hostile view of immigration and strong sense of sovereignty.
Mr Trump is in Poland ahead of a G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

"Because as the Polish experience reminds us - the defence of the West ultimately rests not only on means but also on the will of its people to prevail," Mr Trump will say, according to excerpts released from the speech.


"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive."

The "fundmental question" that Trump has yet to answer...in his drive to appease and accommodate Putin......"does he fully and completely understand the inherent Russian infowar and cyber war threat directed at and which still continues against the US"??

THAT he Trump has yet to accept nor release his US cyber defense plan he promised within 90 days.....

One day before his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that no one knows for sure whether Moscow intervened in the 2016 U.S. election but that he suspected Russian involvement.

Speaking to reporters in Poland, Trump played down the assessment of his own intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the election by hacking Democrats' emails and distributing online propaganda.

“I think it was Russia, but I think it was probably other people and/or countries, and I see nothing wrong with that statement. Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows for sure,” Trump told a news conference.

The Khrapunovs have spent heavily across the US, including, records indicate, buying apartments in Trump Soho.

From the article....

Trump is going to speak at a public rally near the 1944 Warsaw Uprising monument. Right-wing groups are organising buses to transport people from all over Poland in order to provide a big crowd for the event. Apparently it is the first US President in many years whose visit to Poland does not include a tribute to the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial that is a short walking distance from the other monument at a time when antisemitism has been reportedly on the rise in both USA and Poland



Chodakiewicz himself appeared in the report and commented on the speech’s contents. It has also been reported Chodakiewicz is to be a member of the presidential delegation flying to Warsaw.
The report raised eyebrows because of Chodakiewicz’s long record of far right links. He is mostly known as a denier of Polish responsibility for acts of antisemitism, including the infamous Jedwabne pogrom of 1941.
He has repeatedly claimed Jews themselves were chiefly responsible for the hostility of their Polish neighbours. Accusations of Jewish involvement with Communism have been present in many of Chodakiewicz’s writings.
A frequent contributor to Polish right-wing media, he has recently referred to Bernie Sanders as “a Jewish bolshevik”.

Hacker Who Aided #Russian Intelligence Sentenced to 2 Years
https://nyti.ms/2tQhjKz


Like other cybercriminals-turned-government hackers, Shaltai Boltai’s members are believed to have collaborated with Russian intelligence personnel, namely, those from the Federal Security Service.

That led to the arrest of Sergei Mikhailov, the deputy director of the service’s cybersecurity organ, and one of several individuals arrested around the same time as the members of Shaltai Boltai and charged with treason, though the authorities never publicly linked the two cases.

Mr. Mikhailov’s possible ties to Shaltai Boltai emerged in Russian news reports. Other Russian news outlets reported a competing theory for the intelligence officer’s arrest: that he had passed to the F.B.I. secrets about Russia’s government-backed hacking programs, helping in the investigation of Russian meddling in the presidential election.

Let us see exactly what is currently known about Russian influence and hacking operations within the US currently and during the 2016 election and the European elections of Netherlands, France and now coming in Germany....

In order to look intensively at the thread one would in theory thoroughly need to understand the Russian non linear warfare doctrine released by the Russians shortly after their military annexation of Crimea...with the two key cornerstones...

1. cyber warfare
2. information warfare and a new one
3. softpower through the use on money...lots of money

But postings on this have been deleted....so I am assuming all fully understand non linear warfare....

1. there is an ongoing active social media war afoot in the US driven by an alliance between the ultra right in Russia and Russian trolls and bots supporting a similar ultra right and right wing US social media botnets and blogsites..it has now reached the level of actual death threats against accounts known to be releasing accurate reporting on the Trump collusion and against anyone supporting them as well as mobbing and stalking...

2. they share the same conspiracy theories and fake news and they push all Wikileaks hacked emails of western leaders and or Clinton

3. the FBI is now expanding their Russian connections to Trump into this area was well especially between alt right ie white nationalist blogsites such as Infowars and Breitbart.com

4. Fox News has taken on the leading voice for this movement much in the same way Russia Today does for the Russian government....

5. an approved Congressional 200M USDs to be used in fighting back against this info war has been largely not used by the Trump WH nor has it queried Congress on how to use that money

6. we have seen a tight group of 30 proTrump alt right social media accounts push a massive disinformation attack against CNN built around FAKE information in order to discredit CNN and silence a MSM outlet

7. we have seen the complete personal voting records and other personal data on 200M US voters complied by a GOP contractor SCL placed onto an unsecured Amazon cloud server which after 21 days was "stolen"..by whom is not known....AND yet the Trump WH says not a single word about this massive data theft of US voter information

8. the Trump created "Fraud voting commission2 has basically requested the same exact information and that information will not be secured by US government facilities and internet security ..rather it will be stored somewhere in the WH and is to be used by WH...

9. we have seen Russian APT 28 a state sponsored hacking group hack the email accounts of the now French President and then released them in the same fashion as with the Clinton and Podesta emails

10. we have seen and confirmed an ongoing Russian disinformation and influence operation ongoing in Germany due to the coming election

11. we have seen a deliberate cyber war unleashed as a practice session on the entire Ukraine economy and it bled over to other major businesses resulting in economic losses exceeding 1B USDs

12. we now see in a Trump interview he still does not accept the proven fact that Russia both hacked and meddled and meddled is a mild word in the 2016 election

13. we know that a total of 21 State voting databases were in fact hacked and in six cases voter data was exfiled out of those data bases

14. we now that two "big data" companies SCL and Cambridge Analytica used an "voting social engineering concept" to drive a digital media messaging directly into the US against potential Trump voters and in an attempt to suppress Democratic voting.....ARE now under FBI investigation for exactly this "social engineering"....

15. we know that these tow companies where initially owned by Bannon current special advisor to Trump who sold them shortly before the election and who still sits on their boards...

16. we know that now the FBI Russian Trump investigation has expanded from initially 15 field agents to now a rumoured 170

17. we know the number of top flight success proven Federal prosecutors has now climbed to 16 working with SC Mueller in the areas of organized crime, money laundering, Russian collusion and obstruction/cover up

18. so 170 plus 15 does not seem to indicate as Trump constantly states.....everything is a "FAKE"......

19. we now see a very active attempt to shut down the 1st Amendment of free speech and free press with open and massive attacks on virtually the entire MSM AND an attempt to shut down all live cameras in the daily WH press conferences

19. we see an active and open Trump and Trump supporter attacks on US Federal judiciary decision and judges

20. Trump has to yet released his much promised US cyber defense plan and probably never will as he rejects the idea that Russia hacked the US

So to argue that we can simply move on and ignore it is like walking into a dark tunnel with no light facing an oncoming freight train with no lights and saying to ourselves everything is going to be fine....

If one has been tracking the increase in Trump twitter "Followers" you might have noticed that it has climbed 1.4M in less than 3.5 weeks...

Research conducted on samples of those 1.4M "Followers" is indicating they are all automated and foreign controlled "bots".......not human "Followers".Secondly, we have shut down yesterday a 120,000 automated botnet controlled by Russian control servers which were tied into pushing automated hashtags being also used by the proTrump alt right ie white nationalists twitter accounts which I had posted here but were deleted as well.....WE have solid evidence connecting this shut down Russian botnet tied to specific US proTrump alt right ie white nationalist twitter accounts.

German security contacts are indicating that there is an extremely close tie in between Russian controlled bot nets and US ultra right and alt right social media accounts...and they are taking this into account in the coming German election as they have seen a marked increase in tweets from this group aiming into German twitter conversations from right and ultra right German groups similar to what occurred in the French election when US peoTrump accounts supported Le Pen and her Front National.

BTW we were also able to identify a very sophisticated automated use of these bots and their automated responses to Ukrainian social media accounts...meaning they were keying automatic responses to key twitter words being used by Ukrainian accounts...response language used was Russian...meaning if the twitter account was using English key words the automated bots would respond in Russian....the Russian controlled bot net was making this their first trial run of this feature...

This was the first recorded use of automatic twitter responses against other twitter accounts controlled from Russia.....WITH this automated feature one can literally spam any twitter account of your choice into submission forcing them to withdraw from twitter due to this heavy and continued interesting form of twitter spamming....

We are watching to see if they take the next step...automated responding to English language tweets in English...

So again there is no tie in between internal US activities around US proTrump social media accounts and Russian propaganda and disinformation AND the same US proTrump alt right accounts being seen "meddling" in EU elections..... ??

Crimintern: How the Kremlin uses Russia’s criminal networks in Europe

By Mark Galeotti
18th April, 2017
http://www.ecfr.eu/publications/summary/crimintern_how_the_kremlin_uses_russias_criminal_n etworks_in_europe

In five recent US MSM articles there is finally the growing realization that Russia actively uses Russian overseas criminal gangs as hacking cut outs giving the Russian government a high degree of denialability when accused of being actively involved in hacking operations such as the election of 2016.

Currently under FBI arrest warrants in Prague and Barcelona are two of the top most Russian hackers that while charged under hacking and money laundering are being actively viewed as having been behind the DNC and Podesta hacks....both in paying for them and for running them....

The Russian hacker detained currently in Barcelona is being charged for running a major spam botnet behind the US influence operations.....

The Russian arrested under FBI warrant in Barcelona hacker was behind the Kelihos botnet alleged to have actually been the transfer system for the hacked DNC and Podesta email accounts...

FBI immediately took the entire botnet off line....

How the FBI Took Down Russia's Spam King—And His Massive Botnet



One of the world’s most notorious spammers appears to have been tripped up by a basic cybersecurity no-no, according to the FBI: He used the same log-in credentials to both run his criminal enterprise and also log into sites like iTunes.
The Justice Department announced Monday that it had successfully targeted a man prosecutors called “one of the world’s most notorious criminal spammers,” a Russian hacker known as Peter Yuryevich Levashov, also known as Peter Severa, or “Peter of the North.” Levashov had long run the Kelihos botnet, a global network of infected computers that collectively flooded email inboxes worldwide with spam, stole banking credentials from infected users, and spread malware across the internet.
Spanish authorities arrested Levashov, who normally resides in St. Petersburg, Russia, while he was on vacation with his family. Rumors had swirled over the weekend, sourced only to a vague report on the Russian propaganda network RT, that he’d been involved in that country’s meddling with the 2016 US presidential election, but there was no hint of that in Monday’s Justice Department complaint, which focused instead on Levashov’s role in developing and running one of the internet’s most pernicious and longest-running botnets. Levashov's operation had infected as many as 100,000 computers worldwide, roughly five to ten percent of which were inside the United States.


So to argue that Russia criminal gangs are not tied into Russian propaganda, disinformation and especially state sponsored Russia hacking is in fact rather strange...

It is again like standing in that dark tunnel waiting the train to hit you arguing all the while everything is going to be fine...it is not .....

For those that truly do not believe it....there is a true Russian cyber war....we have long ago left the realm of cyber attacks...ongoing in Europe and US and it came out of hiding shortly in the recent Ukraine cyber invasion as a warning to the West from Russia with love......

REMEMBER Putin's own words during his recent national press conference...quote "the US election attack could have been carried out by Russians who were dissatisfied by the way the West is treating Russia" end of quote.....

The Racial and Religious Paranoia of Trump's Warsaw Speech

When the president says being Western is the essence of America’s identity, he’s in part defining America in opposition to some of its own people.



In his speech in Poland on Thursday, Donald Trump referred 10 times to “the West” and five times to “our civilization.” His white nationalist supporters will understand exactly what he means. It’s important that other Americans do, too.
The West is not a geographic term. Poland is further east than Morocco. France is further east than Haiti. Australia is further east than Egypt. Yet Poland, France, and Australia are all considered part of “The West.” Morocco, Haiti, and Egypt are not.
The West is not an ideological or economic term either. India is the world’s largest democracy. Japan is among its most economically advanced nations. No one considers them part of the West.
The West is a racial and religious term. To be considered Western, a country must be largely Christian (preferably Protestant or Catholic) and largely white. Where there is ambiguity about a country’s “Westernness,” it’s because there is ambiguity about, or tension between, these two characteristics. Is Latin America Western? Maybe. Most of its people are Christian, but by U.S. standards, they’re not clearly white. Are Albania and Bosnia Western? Maybe. By American standards, their people are white. But they are also mostly Muslim. #
Steve Bannon, who along with Stephen Miller has shaped much of Trump’s civilizational thinking, has been explicit about this. In a 2014 speech, he celebrated “the long history of the Judeo-Christian West struggle against Islam” and “our forefathers” who “bequeathed to use the great institution that is the church of the West.”

BLUF.....
The proTrump alt right ie white nationalists on social media immediately ran with their comments praising Trump's speech as they fully understood what he was saying....it is what is between the lines that is important or what some call "meta-messaging".....

So is there any difference between Russian disinformation, propaganda and fake news beig pushed by trolls and bots and the proTrump alt right social media trolls and bots.....

Well worth reading as it is important to understand just how these two proTrump social media support systems are being pushed and played by Russian info warfare using Russian trolls and bots...on a daily basis...


The phrase “alternative right” has been critiqued on several grounds: that it’s too vague; that it obscures the extent to which the movement is coterminous with the rest of the Republican base; that it’s a euphemism for white supremacy. The definition has shifted over time, both inside and outside the movement, such that, for a while, it was impossible to tell whether any two people who referred to the alt-right were referring to the same thing. During the Presidential campaign, the term came to denote several intersecting phenomena: anti-feminism, opposition to political correctness, online abuse, belligerent nihilism, conspiracy theories, inflammatory Internet memes. Some pro-Trump activists adopted this big-tent definition, allowing any youthful, “edgy” critique of establishment conservatism to be considered alt-right. But a core within the movement always insisted on a narrower conception of the alt-right, one that was inextricably linked with white separatism, and with Spencer specifically.
Now the boundaries are set. Spencer and his allies have won the branding war. They own the alt-right label; their right-wing opponents are aligning themselves against it, working to establish a parallel brand. It has become increasingly clear that this is not a mere rhetorical ploy but a distinction with a difference.

It is now a battle between the white nationalists behind Mike Cernovich and white supremacist Spencer who is married to a Russian with former ties to Russian Today in Russia

Cernovich was behind the twitter campaigns using the hashtags CNNBlcakmail, Syrianhoax and Marconleaks...which got picked up by the US Nazi Party and Russian trolls and bots...

Trump’s leaks crackdown sends chills through national security world

Agency officials say measures have been taken to isolate leakers, creating a culture of fear.

National security officials across the federal government say they are seeing new restrictions on who can access sensitive information, fueling fears in the intelligence and security community that the Trump administration has stepped up a stealthy operation to smoke out leakers.
Officials at various national security agencies also say they are becoming more concerned that the administration is carefully tracking what they’re doing and who they’re talking to — then plotting to use them as a scapegoat or accuse them of leaks.

One U.S. official voiced concern over even talking to their superiors about a benign call from a reporter. The agency this official works for had started limiting staff’s access to information, they said, and it would make it far easier to figure out who was talking to people in the media.
There was suspicion, the official said, that the agency was even tracking what they printed, to keep tabs on what information they were accessing.

BLUF....

Last time posting to anything on SWJ...not wanting to say I told you so I am...sad that many are not smelling the coffee right about now on the complete sell out of the US and it's democracy....

Lavrov: "Trump mentioned that in US certain circles still inflate subject of Russian meddling in elections, even though they have no proof."

RIA-Novosti: Putin told by @POTUS "some circles in the US are exaggerating the topic of Russian cyber meddling."

Tillerson says Russian approach to Syria - mass civilian casualties, displacement, total destruction - may be "more right" than US approach

Tillerson: "We want to build on commonality... maybe they've got the right approach and we've got the wrong approach." Jesus, Mary & Joseph

So Tillerson will accept Crimea, Donbass, Russian carpet bombing Syria, and undermining elections across the West. Let's move forward

Here we go. Munich conference all over again. Ukraine gets thrown under the bus without a seat at the meeting table.

The fox literally stealing the chickens instead of a Trump guarding the chicken coop....instead he steals them with assistance of the US President...

No wonder Putin wants to see proof of RU hacking. Wants to find how our IC knows & shut the source...so in fact Trump "trusts FSB, SVR and GRU over his own USG ICs??

Probably one the best articles concerning the US President Trump siding with Putin against US interests and democracy.


Trump Handed Putin a Stunning Victory
From his speech in Poland to his two-hour summit in Hamburg, the president seemed determined to promote Russia’s dark and illiberal view of the world.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/07/07/trump-handed-putin-a-stunning-victory-215353


Former director of national intelligence James Clapper put the matter well this week: Russia is prepping the battlefield in the United States for what comes next. It is clear the president does not believe this—and it is increasingly clear that his definition of who and what we are as a nation is problematic and dark. If we choose to ignore these warnings—as a government and as a society—we all bear responsibility, and we will all pay the price.

Senior admin official tells me POTUS did not accept Putin claim of non-interference in last year's election.

So does this "senior admin official have name????..

REMEMBER Trump bashed the FAKE news media for reporting without using a name and yet they do it all the time....with such comments.

So using the Trump definition of what is not FAKE news this Trump WH comment is in fact FAKE news....

Lavrov: Trump said he heard Putin's statements that Russia didn't hack election and accepts them.

Lavrov: "Trump mentioned that in US certain circles still inflate subject of Russian meddling in elections, even though they have no proof."

Doesn't explain how, and Mnuchin wasn't in the meeting.

Reporters asked Trump aides 3x to clear up difference between Russia & U.S. account of Trump-Putin meeting. They didn't answer the ?s.


"The President will be happy to make statements himself," Mnuchin says, after Trump skipped town without holding a G-20 press conference.

AND for those SWC readers and commenters that failed to notice this....REMEMBER Trump's number of public statements...he has had no Russian connections......

As US MSM investigative journalism is finally getting untracked we see suddenly this meeting that never was revealed by the Trump WH...why is that...BTW...this meeting has long been alluded to on social media reporting....four months ago.

And this is not a "back channel".....??


Two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination last year, his eldest son arranged a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin, according to confidential government records described to The New York Times.
The previously undisclosed meeting was also attended by Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, as well as the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to interviews and the documents, which were outlined by people familiar with them.
While President Trump has been dogged by revelations of undisclosed meetings between his associates and Russians, this episode at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, is the first confirmed private meeting between a Russian national and members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle during the campaign. It is also the first time that his son Donald J. Trump Jr. is known to have been involved in such a meeting.

For those interested SWC readers...that unnamed in this article Russian lawyer "WAS a straight to Putin back channel" side stepping USG IC and DoS channels......

For those interested in Russian HoIS operations straight out of page 68 of their recruitment manual...."for clandestine off the books meetings".....

NOTICE Trump WH only admits to the meeting after being confronted by the report....

AND for those that do not understand US IC counterintelligence operations.......

This means the following....
"according to confidential government records"

USG IC CI viewed this Russian lawyer to be a member of HoIS and thus was under surveillance by USG CI......

So Trump....Russian hacking of US...Ukraine...Crimea and Syria are not part and parcel of an ongoing Russian political war against the West in general but specifically the US using Russian non linear warfare as the supporting mechanism??

Based on an ongoing SWC posting dispute...no SWC does not think that.

BUT WAIT......Even SWC posted a VOA article on apparent Russian hacking of US nuclear power plants......

BTW...this was actually proven by European Security Services.....they outright named APT 28.

The core problem is that SWC stove pipes threads and does not focus on those threads that are in fact intertwined with a certain shall we say "degree of complexity"....

Great for pushing a potential if it ever occurs "discussion" bad though for not being able to thoroughly understand the actual events as they unfold...

Russian non linear warfare is 24 X 7 X 365 with no breaks and or time outs taken....but apparently this is in the eyes of SWC..."soap box" posting...

SAD.....as I started in 2005 to read SWC because it was then far more open on comments...focused on the comments and loaded with a ton of tips....and a lot of commenters...now it is simply an echo chamber nothing more nothing less....

NOTICE this comment got flagged for evidently not being in synch with the thread...

But is it not interesting that Russian confirmed hacking of the US election with USG IC holding evidence of Putin involvement....and the still ongoing hacking and influence operation is "supposedly discussed by Trump" for over 40 minutes......WITH as Putin publicly stating "Trump accepted Putin's statement "it ain't us"....

If there is in the world of international relations two different versions of a single meeting then in the past one side or the other releases a certified copy of the actual discussion for all the world to see...BUT here silence on both parties....

AND then we have two ...two separate interpretations of what was actually said and we have two known and verified liars as nation state leaders that no one can really say for sure which one is not lying???

At least the attempted hacking of US nuclear power plants should have motivated Trump to discuss the issue for more than 40 minutes.../

BTW confirmed by European Security Services...as Russian APT 28.

And also confirmed by my research here in Belin.....

My last posting for SWC as I as have other commenters are finding that there is a certain level of censorship in order to avoid "written conflict" or as SWC calls it "soap box"...

It is time to walk away as SWC is no longer even capable of seeing an ongoing actual Russian political war aimed directly at the US every single day using the President of the US as an entry point to destroy US democracy.....and that this particular political war involves, black money, corruption, Russian OC groups, Russian state sponsored hacking, RIS ongoing spy operations and Russian propaganda (info warfare) aimed straight at the proTrump alt right supporters who do not realize they are wrapped up in it against their own democracy...

But as former DNI stated yesterday in an interview....."USG IS always speaks truth to power"......and will continue "to speak truth to power whether that power wants to hear it or not"....

BUT sometimes when one cannot speak truth to power in a public domain...then it is time to leave that public domain...

Myself and few other former commenters will be launching in the coming month a blog site that tracks actual Russian hacking, disinformation and propaganda and the use of massive amounts of black money in their political war with the US......taken from multiple media sites and forums to show how this is being conducted and what success it is having...all with links, and full article postings making it simply easier to read instead of chasing links.

AND it will link straight back into the ongoing proTrump alt right ie white nationalist social media used in pushing Russian narratives both in the US and in Europe and pointing out along the way the massive Russian bot nets supporting this effort.

It will be initially focused on Europe but will expand to include everything ongoing in the US and both "Russian political war fronts" are heavily intertwined.....

Remember Putin has three geo political end states he wants to achieve against the US...in his political war.

1. damage and discredit NATO
2. damage and discredit EU
3. completely and totally disconnect US from Europe and ME, BUT especially from Germany....a 70 year old goal BTW....

Then ask yourself has Trump provided any support to Putin achieving these three geo political goals?....as some are now saying in Europe...Trump is actively supporting Putin....

Might be hard for Americans to accept this, but easy for Europeans as they match Trump's own words, tweets, public statements at rallies straight to actual on the ground actions...

We seem to forget that the WH has gone on the record as stating all Trump tweets are "official WH statements"....

Trump's son-in-law Kushner mentioned in this meeting with a USG IC thought to be potential HoIS DID NOT include this meeting on his SF 86...

"Completely forgot about it" JUST as he did two other Russian meetings...THIS is the third time he has under pressure been forced to potentially update his incorrectly filled out SF86....SEEMS he just does not understand the question....."Have you ever meet with and or had meetings with and or have any ongoing contacts or business dealings with any foreigner---if YES please list all details, names and addresses on a separate sheet if necessary"?

In the "normal world" this individual would have been fired, his clearance revoked and potentially sentenced to jail time and or a fine for lying outright to USG clearance investigators....MULTIPLE times....just once as a "simple mistake"....

BUT he seemingly gets a "pass".....why is that?

BTW....this is the Russian lawyer contact and meeting he failed to enter in his SF86....kind of an important item to simply "forget"...
