Sorry, Russia-gaters; WikiLeaks Got the DNC Emails From Insider, not Russia

VIPSers Binney & Johnson use the forensics that the FBI avoided doing.

Thinking back, President Barack Obama dropped a huge hint two days before he left office, using his last press conference to point out that the “conclusions of the intelligence community” regarding how WikiLeaks received the DNC emails were “inconclusive.”  The nerve!  Daring to say that just 13 days after the U.S. intelligence Gang of Four briefed Obama up and down on their evidence-free “assessment” that WikiLeaks got the DNC emails via a Russian hack.

This was one time Obama summoned the courage to face down James (the-Russians-are-almost-genetically-driven-to-deceive) Clapper and other intelligence chiefs.  After all, Obama is a lawyer.  He “does evidence.”  In contrast, ex-CIA Director John Brennan, told Congress that he does not “do evidence.”

Back in the day, the intelligence community “did evidence.”  As soon as the evidence-impoverished “Intelligence Community Assessment” was published on January 6, 2017, members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) smelled a rat.  That same day, former NSA Technical Director William Binney and Ray published “The Dubious Case on Russian Hacking,”
[ https://consortiumnews.com/2017/01/06/the-dubious-case-on-russian-hacking/  ].

Then came “The Gaping Holes of Russia-gate,”
[ https://consortiumnews.com/2017/05/20/the-gaping-holes-of-russia-gate/  ], and in July 2017 VIPS published their key forensic-based study “Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russian Hack’ Evidence,”
[ https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ ], followed by “More Holes in the Russia-gate Narrative.” 
[ https://consortiumnews.com/2017/09/20/more-holes-in-russia-gate-narrative/ ], by Binney and Ray.

Even Michael Cohen admitted yesterday that he had no “direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia.” But, he added, “I have my suspicions.”  We intelligence analysts, back in the day, did not “do suspicions.”

There are 1,001 other reasons to impeach President Donald Trump, if Nancy Pelosi had the courage.  But politics, not the Constitution, reigns supreme in the people’s House to which Founders bestowed an orderly political process to get rid of such a president.  Shame on them all.

Evidence Mounts: DNC Emails Got to WikiLeaks via a LEAK, Not a HACK **

By Bill Binney and Larry Johnson

A reasonably bright high schooler, after just one careful reading, will be able to understand this new-ground breaking article by VIPSers Binney and Johnson. But most sophisticates in Washington — including the many presstitutes pushing Russiagate — will pretend not to understand, or will simply ignore it.  Dumb Dem. partisans like Robert Reich are likely to again call Bill Binney a “conspiracy theorist.”  (Reich, of course, is not dumb; he is super smart on economics but, sadly, a slave to his party’s party line — and a bind follower of Adam Schiffwreck on Russia-gate.)

More important: why do you suppose Robert Mueller has refused to interview Binney and others in VIPS, who have been pointing out the technology fallacies of Russia-gate for more than two years.

And why did Mueller not interview WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange and former UK Ambassador Craig Murray.  Both have first-hand knowledge of these matters; both have offered to testify.  Will Mueller prefer to complete an incomplete investigation?  And why did President Barack Obama brand “inconclusive” what the Intel chiefs told him were conclusive judgments regarding how the DNC emails go to WikiLeaks? ***

Why is Pelosi’s Allergic to Impeachment?

“Watching the Hawks,” January 10, 2019, Part 2**
Ray’s segment runs from minute 14:35 to 24:56.

In this short clip, Ray recounts a personal experience with then House Judiciary chair John Conyers, as Conyers tried to explain why Nancy Pelosi took impeachment “off the table” 12 years ago.  An additional motive might be found in the modus operandi of the intelligence case officers who brief selected senior members of Congress on particularly sensitive operators — often of dubious legality.

Ray describes how Congresspersons get cajoled into complicity by “being briefed” on unconstitutional actions — like blanket surveillance and torture.  They almost never object, or even demur; consequently, they have to trim their sails afterwards because they have been compromised.  Moreover, often they are afraid to share “classified” information with colleagues in Congress.

J. Edgar Hoover would “salivate” over the kinds of intrusive surveillance enabled by today’s technology — all with the blessing of members of Congress too cowardly, or too compromised to honor the 4th amendment and exercise real “oversight.”

Asked why the legacy media are not doing their job, Ray recounts a revealing dialogue he had with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in Atlanta on May 4, 2006, after a public mini-debate Ray had earlier that day with then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. (See:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1FTmuhynaw. )

James Baldwin’s Letter to Angela Davis

An Open Letter to My Sister, Miss Angela Davis
November 19,1970

Dear Sister:

One might have hoped that, by this hour, the very sight of chains on black flesh … would be so intolerable a sight for the American people, and so unbearable a memory, that they would spontaneously rise up and strike off the manacles. But, now, more than ever, Americans appear to measure their safety in the chains and corpses of others. And so, Newsweek, can put you on its cover, chained.

You look exceedingly alone—as alone, say, as the Jewish housewife in the boxcar headed for Dachau, or as any one of our ancestors, chained together during the ocean passage. …

Well. Since we live in an age in which silence is not only criminal but suicidal, I have been making as much noise as I can, here in Europe, on radio and TV. In fact, I have just returned from a land, Germany, which was made notorious by a silent majority not so very long ago. …

Let me put it this way. As long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness … they will allow millions of other people to be slaughtered. … So long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between their own experience and the experience of others, they will never feel themselves sufficiently worthwhile to become responsible for themselves. As we once put it in our black church, they will perish in their sins—that is, in their delusions. … [Emphasis added]

Now we do feel ourselves sufficiently worthwhile to change our fate and the fate of our children! … We know that a person is not a thing and is not to be placed at the mercy of things. We know that air and water belong to all mankind and not merely to the wealthy. We know that a baby does not come into the world merely to be the instrument of someone else’s profit. ..

My dear sister Angela, some of us, white and black, know how great a price has already been paid to bring a new consciousness. If we know that, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own—which it is. We must render impassable with our own bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.

Therefore: peace.

Brother James
