If we don’t resist Russian political warfare, very soon, Putin will win
A challenging article by John Schindler, is President-elect Trump ready for this:Link:http://observer.com/2016/12/donald-t...an-stop-putin/It’s important to note that while 2016, the year ending today, has been a dreadful one for Westerners who treasure freedom, with Vladimir Putin’s minions clandestinely subverting our politics, even in the United States, we’ve been here before.

Meet the SednitGroup, aka "Russian hackers" THAT Trump evidently knows more about than even the CIA/NSA and FBI....

AND for those that do not want to really believe it...yes we are at war....
One of the best write ups on the core Russian state sponsored hacking group with ties to SVR/GRU...who was and still is behind major power grid attack and the DNC attack...
US expulsions put spotlight on Russia's GRU intelligence agency

Why exposing Putin's wealth would be Obama's best revenge, writes @SSestanovich

Trump didn't pay a penny in taxes, used his charity as a personal slush fund, and it didn't stick. Do you think the Russian SVR/GRU are idiots?
After French Front National, Czech Republic is second example of direct Russian money in top politics.
NYT story:

TO those Trump commenters that supported him because he "is smart and knows hacking"......
Wanna appear REALLY knowledgeable? Drop the R in GRU. These days, it's simply called the GU (Glavnoye Upravleniye)
http://structure.mil.ru/structure/mi...gOrganization#
So the Trump advisor saying that in tossing out 35 Russian GRU/SVR spies isEXAMPLE....real story that Trump and his advisor of his do not know about the GU....
In the late 70s and early 80s....in the International Herald Tribune the leading American English speaking European newspaper had a series of ads published on a reoccurring basis......for over a one year period
The ad was basic....stated they were looking for paid researchers for specific projects and one had to speak English.....
When one replied it was to a Post Box in Lichtenstein.....if one replied then ne would get a nice letter indicating their interest and what could you suggest for research topics...and they wanted more information on yourself...age....any military experience....education level and any other language abilities and where located in Europe...they were looking for individuals in W Berlin and other major German cities....located near US military bases.....
Then at some point you get a nice letter in the mail coupled with a nice used 50 USD bills usually no more than 3000 USDs and asking you will you are interested in working deeper...with a contact telephone number which if one looked it up was in E Berlin......
Some might say this was a GDR Stasi recruitment attempt..but behind the German voice on the phone was the nicest of Soviet GRU officers you will ever met.....
SO exactly how many young Americans in Europe answered that ad....and were studying aboard during that period AND never reported to US authorities when they returned to the US the recruitment attempts????
inappropriate ABSOLUTELY does not know what he is talking about and that includes Trump himself...

The era of neoliberalism is over. The era of neonationalism is beginning.

First Trump suddenly claims via a tweet that he was far smarter when it comes to hacking than say myself who is in this business and he was going to "reveal what others did not now on Tuesday and or Wednesday"......

Two contrasting viewpoints on Trump and intelligence
Two contrasting viewpoints on Trump and intelligence. First from Lawfare, so an American author and the Editor's note:Link:https://www.lawfareblog.com/donald-t...e-intelligenceEditor’s Note: The incoming administration's scorn for intelligence professionals is a matter of grave concern to many of us at Lawfare. I, for one, worry that the administration will conduct its foreign policy without understanding the dynamics of foreign governments, their attempts to mislead us, and emerging threats like cyber subversion. Joshua Rovner, a scholar of intelligence at Southern Methodist University, makes me even more concerned. He takes the long view, going beyond the potential for short-term policy catastrophe to explain the long tradition of policymaker suspicion of intelligence and the many potential negative consequences for the intelligence community.
I do rather like this passage:Next from India by a professional SME and a "taster":New leaders sometimes view intelligence agencies as bureaucratic obstacles—or worse. Intelligence agencies control secret information, and well-timed leaks can undermine policymakers’ plans or damage their political careers. The fear of intelligence subversion is not entirely unwarranted, given the history of intelligence in the United States and elsewhere. As a matter of self-preservation, presidents and their advisors may prefer to keep intelligence at arm’s length.Link:https://www.americanbazaaronline.com...endship-putin/Like Trump, Richard Nixon also came to be the president without reading any of CIA’s Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) during transition.
