COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

US sends special forces to RUSSIAN BORDER as Nato is poised to strike back against Vladimir Putin’s ‘aggression’

PRESIDENT Obama has deployed US special forces troops along Lithuania’s border with “aggressive” Russia.

Tensions between Washington and the Kremlin have reached Cold War levels amid reports Vladimir Putin is deploying nuke-ready missiles in the Russian province of Kaliningrad – which borders Poland, Belarus and Lithuania.

And Lithuanian Defence Ministry spokeswoman Asta Galdikaite confirmed America has offered additional military support following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
She said: “The United States was the first to offer additional safety assurance measures to the Baltic countries following the deterioration of the security situation in the region after the annexation of the Crimea.”
She added: “US Special Operations Forces presence in Lithuania is one of the deterrents” against military threats by Putin’s aggressive regime, reports the Express.


US military chief General Raymond T Thomas told the New York Times that America has a “persistent” presence in the Baltic states bordering Russia.
He added that many former Eastern Bloc countries are “scared to death” of Russia and the vulnerable states are “desperate” for America’s leadership.

The US and its Nato allies will send battalions of up to 1,200 to each of the three Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – and Poland by spring this year, reports the New York Times.

Lithuania’s foreign minister Linas Linkevicius confirmed Russia’s military activity in Kaliningrad is terrifying the region.

He said: “Iskander missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads have been deployed. There are S-400 missiles and modernised jets.”

Outrage as land-grabbing Putin's says 'Russia's borders don't end anywhere'
Linkevicius branded Russian behaviour in the region “military hooliganism” and called on Nato to take action and offer more support to beleaguered Ukraine.
He said: “Russia likes to create problems, conflict and then suggest some ideas how to mitigate, how to mediate - and some of our colleagues say ‘look they are cooperating’.”

In November, Putin’s naval forces unveiled their latest super-stealth submarine which has been deployed in the Black Sea as a shocking new report revealed Russia is "taking over" the region.

Kremlin bosses promised Russia would never allow the sea to become a “Nato lake” and they firmly believe the military alliance would crumble if, as feared, the Americans pull out.

Relations between the outgoing Obama administration and Russia have souredfollowing allegations that Putin ordered the email hack which helped scupper Hillary Clinton's presidential bid.

  1. JEREMY CLARKSON: Help fight the Government’s plan to silence the free Press – and save your own freedom

    When you see harrowing footage on YouTube or Twitter of some dead bodies in Syria, you are told by the voiceover that they were killed by the president’s army.

    But were they?

    Who is doing the voiceover?

    Who took the pictures?

    Who uploaded them?

    You don’t know.

    You don’t even know the people covered in blood are really dead.

    I learned the other day that the RAF has dropped four times more bombs on Syria and Iraq in recent months than it did in the whole of the ten-year Afghanistan campaign.

    And how many journalists are out there, checking up on what these bombs are being dropped on?

    No, you’re wrong.

    The correct answer is none.

    That almost certainly suits the Government very well.

    The last thing it needs in a confusing campaign is some pesky hack in a trilby poking around in the armaments store, asking awkward questions.

    The Push to Militarization and War Continues in D.C.

    Editorial note: No bureaucracy, especially the MIC and their enablers in Congress, will pass on any opportunity to expand and grow in power.

    If you want something to spoil your appetite (lunch for most people, probably breakfast for this crowd) listen to the hearings in D.C. being held to address the 'Russian hacking problem'. The committee is chaired by John McCain and Lindsay Graham is the prosecuting attorney. They are being enabled by the witnesses they have called so far, the heads of the intelligence agencies (Clapper and Rogers) that declared the Russians did it the day after the DNC e-mail hacks were published. From that point on, they have been repeating the same story. Not likely to be anything new coming from that quarter other than the appeal for even bigger budgets in the future.

    All these guys are talking about (and have been for years) has been increasing offensive cybersecurity capability. Remember, the US with Israel, were the first to weaponize cybersecurity when they attacked Iran with the Stuxnet malware. Yet, they complain when others do far less to us. If they are so concerned about hacking, they should be shifting funds from offensive capabilities where most of our cybersecurity monies go over to the defensive side. But don't count on that.

    The committee also took every opportunity to attack Trump and his position on the matter. Graham went out of his way to criticize Trump and lecture him on what he must do. I would say the man has brass balls but there is some question as to whether he has any balls at all.

    As an aside, Graham who rarely surprises came up with a deeper insight into his own character. In arguing that the 'hacking' is unacceptable regardless of which party is hit, he offered this gem.
    'Parties are the basis of democracy.' It shows why Graham goes way beyond the dick category and has joined the constellation of super-duper dicks. It's unfortunate this guy will likely be with us in Congress whining.

      Today's hearing was merely a giant pep rally in support of the intelligence committee and attack on Trump for questioning their past performance and capabilities. This is a community that's failures are painfully obvious to everyone but which claims numerous major victories, victories they would like to tell us about but can't because that would endanger resources and methods.

      Today, Obama gets their report he requested on the cyber attacks.

      Tomorrow, Trump gets debriefed on the report. It should be interesting. Clapper will be presenting the report. Sitting in the room will be Trump's National Security Advisor, Admiral Flynn, a man who was fired by Clapper.

  14. Report cites outdated PHP malware as part of "evidence" of Russian involvement.

    “The Wordfence team analyzed the PHP malware the DHS and FBI included in their report, and we analyzed the IP addresses. Looking at the PHP malware, they provided a sample, so we used the sample to find the original PHP malware which is actually in some of the attacks we’ve seen on our customer’s websites and that we’ve blocked. And that malware is encrypted, so we had to find some way to decrypt it.
    “Once we decrypted it, it showed us the name of the malware and some other information, like the version of the malware. We used that to do a few searches, and we actually found what looks like the source of the malware which is a hacking group that claimed they were based in Ukraine, and they’re distributing versions of that malware which are slightly newer,” he said.
    Maunder said the malware isn’t so much tool for breaking into systems, as one used to control those already compromised.

    “The malware is something the attacker would use if they’ve just hacked into a website and they want to have the ability to control that website. In other words, view files, or maybe copy files back and forth and install additional tools – they would use this malware to do that. So, it’s not malware that’s used to infect workstations. It’s sort of used as a step in the process a hacker would use to put something on a website that would then infect workstations,” the security expert explained.

    ‘Not the Russians’: John McAfee talks hacking allegations, cybersecurity with Larry King (VIDEO)
    However, the fact that this software was used in no way indicates that Russia interfered, officially or otherwise, in the American presidential elections.
    “It’s unfortunate that the report was released on the same day that the White House took action and expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the United States. That, and some of the language in the report, seems to suggest that it is proof that Russia interfered in the 2016 US election.
    “What’s actually in the report doesn’t actually include enough data, in our opinion, to show that there’s a clear link that Russia interfered in the US election. What’s actually in the report is indicators of compromise that any systems administrator could use to figure out they’ve been hacked.

    1. ‘Not the Russians’: John McAfee talks hacking allegations, cybersecurity with Larry King

      Based on all of his experience, McAfee does not believe that Russians were behind the hacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), John Podesta’s emails, and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. As he told RT, “if it looks like the Russians did it, then I can guarantee you it was not the Russians.”

      The Joint Analysis Report from the FBI contains an appendix that lists hundreds of IP addresses that were supposedly “used by Russian civilian and military intelligence services.” While some of those IP addresses are from Russia, the majority are from all over the world, which means that the hackers constantly faked their location.

      McAfee argues that the report is a “fallacy,” explaining that hackers can fake their location, their language, and any markers that could lead back to them. Any hacker who had the skills to hack into the DNC would also be able to hide their tracks, he said

      “If I was the Chinese and I wanted to make it look like the Russians did it, I would use Russian language within the code, I would use Russian techniques of breaking into the organization,” McAfee said, adding that, in the end, “there simply is no way to assign a source for any attack.”

    4. Conclusion regarding IP address data

      What we’re seeing in this IP data is a wide range of countries and hosting providers. 15% of the IP addresses are Tor exit nodes. These exit nodes are used by anyone who wants to be anonymous online, including malicious actors.

      Overall Conclusion

      The IP addresses that DHS provided may have been used for an attack by a state actor like Russia. But they don’t appear to provide any association with Russia. They are probably used by a wide range of other malicious actors, especially the 15% of IP addresses that are Tor exit nodes.

      The malware sample is old, widely used and appears to be Ukrainian. It has no apparent relationship with Russian intelligence and it would be an indicator of compromise for any website.

    5. Wordfence FAQ:


      Why did Wordfence use the title “US Govt Data Shows Russia Used Outdated Ukrainian PHP Malware” when publishing this research?

      ===

      Perhaps a better title would have been: US Government report does not contain data attributing 2016 election hacks to Russia. The report includes outdated PHP malware that is publicly available and appears to originate from a Ukrainian hacker group. It also includes IP addresses with no clear link to Russia.

      That would have been too long, but I think it accurately captures what we were trying to convey.

      I chose to not change the headline to protect the credibility of our community. When we publish a blog post, many of you share that post on Twitter, Facebook and in other social media. Your share includes the post title. If I change the title later on, it makes it look like you edited the title yourself when sharing our post. You may be accused of exaggerating or changing our words. So once we pull the trigger on a post, the title is never edited.

    Here's the latest on 'My Pillow' -

    The list of problems keeps growing for My Pillow, the popular Minnesota-based pillow maker known for its late-night TV informercials and celebrity endorsements.

    Just months after settling a of class action lawsuit alleging false and deceptive advertising, My Pillow has taken a hit over a different set of consumer complaints.

    On Tuesday, the Better Business Bureau announced that it had revoked My Pillow’s accreditation and lowered its rating from an A-plus to an F
    , saying the company’s longstanding “buy one, get one free” offer was unfair and confusing to customers.

    The BBB said the offer violated the organization’s code of advertising by marketing pillows in a two-for-one “deal” that was in fact the regular price.

    Russia meddled in U.S. election, Clapper says, rejecting Trump’s view

    Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper testified in a Senate hearing that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election consisted of hacking and the spreading of traditional propaganda and “fake news.” The testimony comes as President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced skepticism that Russia interfered in the election.

    The DNC hack. The Podesta e-mail hacks. All the 'fake news' out there. The Russians did it to influence the US election and to help Trump. This all according to soon to depart James Clapper. Next, Clapper will be blaming Russia for the 'My Pillow' scam.

    Before lending credence to James Clapper's comments it would be wise to remember that while Clapper denied lying to Congress on numerous occasions he eventually had to admit to it. Even then, he offered changing excuses as to why he did it. The man's profession for the past 30 years as involved lying. It comes to him naturally.

  24. Chicago police demonstrate why Chicago has serious problems:

    "Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said earlier Thursday that while the suspects,

    all of whom are black, made “terrible racist statements”

    against white people during the on-camera torture session,

    it does not appear to be racially motivated."

    Guglielmi said the unidentified 18-year-old victim — who is from Chicago's Crystal Lake suburb and attended school with at least one of the suspects — was targeted because he has mental disabilities. He did not provide further details about the teen’s special needs.

    It's possible the suspects were trying to extort something from the victim's family, Guglielmi said.
