    Appears the so called Astana peace talks have largely failed...a joint Russian..Turkish and Iranian statement but no Syria statement.....

    WHO did not see that coming a mile off....???? As Assad has continued to attack even though there is a so called Russian ceasefire in place....

    As with all Russian so called ceasefire talsk..it is all about PR for Russia and in this case Iran and Turkey as well...

    Unhappy Reuters: war erupts among rebels

    http://mobile.reuters.com/article/wo.../idUSKBN1580PW

    ...In northwest Syria, heavy fighting erupted between the jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and Free Syrian Army factions who were represented at the Astana talks.

    FSA groups are still reeling after being driven from Aleppo city last month by government forces and their allies. Any further loss of territory in their main northern stronghold - this time at the of jihadist insurgents - could leave them too weak to achieve any meaningful gains from peace negotiation...

    The Russian hacking and the Russian ties to Team Tramp are getting a tad harder and firmer in the last week....

    THIS is a serious warning to all users of Kaspersky Internet Security software...for the last several years Kaspersky was privy to a number of types of free in the wild malware that they had known about but had not informed the rest of the global internet security companies about allowing them to upgrade their own security tools...many accused Kaspersky of unfair competition....

    SOME of us have questioned who Kaspersky in the end answers to as they reside in Russia and their CEO is close personal friends to the FSB General...Kasperskly CEO fluffed off those worries stating his customer database is secure and protected and has no connections to the FSB.
    BUT with events in Russia over the last two years and the tightening of Russian FSB control since Ukraine...that fluff off excuse can no longer hold water..

    REMEMBER the ultra secret NSA internet company "The Equation Company" that worked for 15 or so years undetected on the internet was "discovered" by Kaspersky Labs...when even US companies had not discovered them.

    NOW through this arrest for treason being charged against a FSB Major...actually being publicly made is first of all amazing and secondly the assumption is it is tied to the Russian hacking and Russian influence operations during the Trump campaign....hence the massive overreaction of the FSB....

    It is interesting that via Russia news media it comes out that Kaspersky has a Major Crimes Lab run by a cyber expert who is a MAJ in the FSB when all along Kaspersky CEO has said they have no connections to the Russian FSB outside of his being friends with the FSB General...now we see FSB cyber personnel employed by Kaspersky...

    Kaspersky confirmed arrest of its cyber-crime chief on charges for treason, He access to state secret due to co's collaboration with FSB.

    Maj. Ruslan Stoyanov, Chief of Cyber Crime at Kaspersky, arrested along with FSB Cyber Security Deputy Chief Ser. MIhailov since December.
    There is possible tie in back to the top former FSB General who was found also in DEC dead (killed was the first report but a week later changed to heart attack) in the backseat of his car in Moscow.

    THIS story will keep getting deeper over the coming weeks as some are now tying this to the Russian hacking in the US...the Russian top hackers arrested in Prague and Spain and links now to certain Russian mafia types in the US who had ties to Trump.....

    HERE is what is known as of today....

    1. Sergey Mihailov was arguably the top internet authority at FSB, holding huge sway over the internet business in RU. It seems Mihailov

    2. is charged with treason for "passing information to foreign information for money brokered by top cyber security company officer (=Stoyanov)

    3. So the story is taking shape. Kaspersky's Stoyanov convinced (bribed) FSB top internet sec officer to share data on RU hacking. With whom?

    4. Clearly "Steele" is one poss. answer. But it might be directly to CIA. Remember what Clapper said on FoxNews last week?

    BTW....
    Reference a Fox News story from 2013 that is interesting now to the five US national security agency investigating Russian hacking and Russian ties to Team Trump.....

    The indicted gambling shark mentioned in this story - in hiding from US in Russia - was in the VIP section with @POTUS at Miss Universe 2013

    RAN his illegal gambling network out of Trump Tower....
