Social psychologists have long talked about how emotional manipulation can work effectively
to snooker a large percentage of the population, to get them, at least temporarily, to believe
 the exact opposite of the facts. These techniques are known in the intelligence community as
 “perception management,” and have been refined since the 1980s “to keep the American people
 compliant and confused,” as the late Robert Parry has reported. We saw this in action last
decade, when after months of disinformation, about 70% of Americans came to falsely
believe that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 when the truth was the opposite – Saddam was
 actually an enemy of the Al Qaeda perpetrators.

Zero evidence of any Russian meddling. Still waiting after more than year for the Russia indictments. Not the money laundering or some other tangential bs.

Its a narrative. Its political smear tactics. It is 100% the wmd's of this generation.

It is the 'were being attacked' which leads to sacrifice of civil liberties it will lead to censorship of progressive voices, it will lead to secrecy in election processes. It is a tragic mistake for progressive liberals and the country as a whole. It is anti democracy.

Election hacking debunked by CIA agent.

[“So, I would not be surprised if Bob Mueller concludes that the Trump campaign did not violate the law with regard to its interactions with the Russians. I’m really open to that possibility. Why? Because, as you know, The New York Times, The Washington Post, every media outlet that is worth its salt has reporters digging into this, and they haven’t found anything.” “And I think that, had there been something there, they would have found something. And I think Bob Mueller would have found it already and it would have leaked.”](https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/12/11/the-full-transcript-michael-morell-216061)

On those already arrested: “But that’s different than a conspiracy by the campaign, right?”
Progressives don't buy 1950's Mccarthyism in 2017.

"all 17 US intelligence agencies agreed" that Putin had directed the theft and public  dissemination of DNC e-mails in order to benefit Trump. But in recent weeks the former  heads of the CIA and Office of National Intelligence have themselves stated publicly that that foundational allegation is untrue: Only three agencies (the CIA, FBI, and NSA)
 prepared the report, and not even those agencies themselves but "hand-picked analysts."  Still more, the former director of the FBI, James Comey, has admitted that the FBI
itself never examined the DNC computers in question.

The intelligence community has backed off election hacking is now broadly claiming `collusion' but they don't say in what respect. Collusion to buy ice cream?

They *will* find evidence of many business people doing business with Russia.

As long as its newsworthy. A former candidate who is found to be more and more corrupt is newsworthy. I mean my guide how often did we hear about Weiners weiner.

Plus shes planning on running again and shes still pulling strings behind the scenes. There is a whole rabid base who are blinded to her flaws.

[She is 100% behind the Russians hacked the election narrative.](http://yournewswire.com/hillary-clinton-blame-russia-story/)

Personally I disagree with this timeline. She hatched this plan after the second to last debate where Trump basically said he has no problem with Putin. After that the bs claims began.

[DNI report on Russian hacking](https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf)

Did you read that? What a farce.

First the NSA finds 'moderate confidence' in the conclusions.

Second The DNS?? Same people who brought you wmds and Iraq war. [The same former director who was busted lying though his teeth.](http://www.salon.com/2013/07/01/this_man_is_still_lying_to_america/) But for a massive leak (Snowden) he wouldve got away with his massive and disgusting lie.

Third: "? An assessment of attribution usually is not a simple statement of who conducted an operation, but
rather a series of judgments that describe whether it was an isolated incident, who was the likely perpetrator, that perpetrator's possible motivations, and whether a foreign government had a role in ordering or leading the operation."

- Can their assessments be anymore vague?

Fourth - Wikileaks refutes this idea  as does a UK ambassador who both say it was a leak and not a hack.

FIFTH - WTFUCK This 'intelligence' report is referring to Guccifer 2.0 as the Romanian hacker. Either they are incredibly stupid or they are misleading on purpose and confusing [Guccifer](http://abcnews.go.com/US/romanian-hacker-guccifer-expected-plead-guilty-federal-court/story?id=39351270) with Guccifer 2.0. AND Guccifer 2.0 denied being connected to Russia. OMg that is the most pathetic report.

Sixth - They take issue with publication of anti Hillary facts without doubting the facts themselves. RT or any other outlet is to be assumed meddling where they are reporting *TRUE* facts?? Good god thats the heart of the First Amendment. Here cares where it comes from if its true. And it was all true, it was HER emails.

Im sure there are more points but I couldnt read anymore without feeling like its a complete waste of time. The CIA is a lying machine. They paid 600 million to the WaPo and you can see the results.


Shouldnt congress finish the investigation? This bs dossier by bs lie factories isnt worth picking up dogshit from the sidewalk.  - I wrote this over a month ago - since then we find out that the Dossier was funded by Clinton for Fusion to pay Russia millions to create this Dossier. - Told ya so?

The whole of the intelligence community is not just involved in intelligence but counter intelligence and disinformation.

By and large its a good thing as they are a formidable opponent in the world arena.

Sadly, these skills are being turned inward to American citizens...

So no the history of the office is not one of credibility.

Shall we discuss wmd and the intelligence community? Nah another day.



1. Clinton Founation was paid $2.3 million from the Russian company Rusnano. One of the founders of Rusnano is Vladimir Putin.
2. Bill Clinton was paid a $500,000 ~~speaking fee~~ bribe from the Russian company Renaissance Capital.
3. Clinton sold 1/5 of all U.S. uranium rights to Russia.
4. The company that bought the uranium rights subsequently donated $145,000,000 to Clinton's charity.
5. Powerful Russian officials such as the Mayor of Moscow, business tycoon, and various government officials donated millions of dollars to Clinton's charity.

Nothing has changed except the Hillary democrats and her media machine (WaPo, CNN, Msnbc)  are using Romney/Republican strategies. Its not surprising as Hillary was a Republican, a `Goldie girl' for Goldwater - the anti-civil rights, commie chasing, McCarthyism spreading loser.
