Intelligence Analysts Say Russia Didn’t Hack U.S. Election; It Was an Inside Job
Watch Lee Camp use humor and some precious video clips to drive home the points that VIPS has been making.
August 26, 2017 (16 minutes)
Last year Wikileaks showed Clinton’s campaign to be laughably corrupt. Our media promptly began equating Wikileaks with “Russian hackers,” instead of analyzing the proven corruption of the DNC and its implications. VIPS, founded in 2003 to question the WMD narrative from which our consent was manufactured to attack Iraq, has re-emerged to question the Russian hacking narrative that politicians and media pundits have hammered into our brains since the election. Hard science from these forensic investigators and intelligence analysts now demonstrates the Podesta emails came from a leak, not a hack.
Corporate media, unsurprisingly, won’t touch this story, as it would indict them to a devastating degree. The most nefarious things about endless media repetition of this Russian hacking narrative are that it’s been sold to us as an “attack” and an “an act of war,” and that Democratic politicians don’t have to reflect on the neo liberal economic policies that caused so many to vote for Trump in the (false) hope that he represented a change. In sum, the military industrial complex wins, and the Democratic establishment successfully avoids all scrutiny of neglecting the people it claims to represent.
Former NSA Technical Director Bill Binney and Ray took part Saturday in a Webinar on “Was the ‘Russian Hack’ an Inside Job?” – the subject of the open MEMORANDUM Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity sent to President Donald Trump on July 24. Bill and Ray welcomed having enough time (it turned out to be an hour and 40 minutes) to walk the audience step by step through a controversial issue requiring detailed technical explanation.

Conducted from New York, August 19, 2017
The Binney/McGovern part starts at minute 24:20 and goes directly into the Q & A segment (which begins at 1:08:30). The Q&A is interrupted from 1:42:46 to 1:50:10, but then continues to the end at minute 2:11:00.
A smart Irishman, Mark F. McCarty has taken the time to put “Russia-gate” in perspective.
July 19, 2017
WARNING: Consumers of the Kool-Aid handed out over the past year will need to undergo the equivalent of a full stem-cell replacement, in order to read though McCarty’s wrap-up without getting very disturbed. Totally understandable. You may not wish to read it. But if you do try, you may want to avoid, in particular, the embedded links – like the two-minute video of James Comey. For those with more inquisitiveness than conditioning, think about sharing McCarty’s wrap-up with the researchers who have led Amy Goodman – and even Bill Moyers – down the garden path on “Russian hacking.”
Truth and Lives vs. Career and Fame
By Ray McGovern, August 20, 2017
As the President considers sending more troops to Afghanistan, it’s worth recalling the modern U.S. dynamic of politicians and generals making misguided judgments about war – and the need to blow the whistle on consequential lies, no matter who tells them.
Russia-gate’s Evidentiary Void
By Robert Parry, August 18, 2017
A cyber-warfare expert sees no technical evidence linking Russia to the Democratic email releases, but The New York Times presses ahead with a new hope that Ukraine can fill the void.
Ray has enough time on Dan Yaseen’s KFCF (California) Free Speech Radio program “Speaking Truth to Empire” to take an unhurried step-by-step rendering of what VIPS and now The Nation have published asking: “Was the ‘Russian Hack’ an Inside Job?”

Russia-gate’s Fatally Flawed Logic
By Robert Parry, August 12, 2017
By pushing the Russia-gate “scandal” and neutering President Trump’s ability to conduct diplomacy, Democrats and Congress have encouraged his war-making side on North Korea.
