Great News: Russia Is Reportedly Set To Release Clinton's Intercepted Emails

[SpiderK]

Reliable intelligence sources in the West have indicated that warnings had been received that the Russian Government could in the near future release the text of email messages intercepted from U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server from the time she was U.S. Secretary of State. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open U.S. secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of U.S. law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services.

The reports indicated that the decision as to whether to reveal the intercepts would be made by Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and it was possible that the release would, if made, be through a third party, such as Wikileaks. The apparent message from Moscow, through the intelligence community, seemed to indicate frustration with the pace of the official U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the so-called server scandal, which seemed to offer prima facie evidence that U.S. law had been violated by Mrs Clinton’s decision to use a private server through which to conduct official and often highly-secret communications during her time as Secretary of State.

U.S. sources indicated that the extensive Department of Justice probe was more focused on the possibility that the private server was used to protect messaging in which Secretary Clinton allegedly discussed quid pro quo transactions with private donors to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for influence on U.S. policy.

The Russian possession of the intercepts, however, was designed also to show that, apart from violating U.S. law in the fundamental handling of classified documents (which Sec. Clinton had alleged was no worse than the mishandling of a few documents by CIA Director David Petraeus or Clinton’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger), the traffic included highly-classified materials which had their classification headers stripped. Russian (and other) sources had indicated frustration with the pace of the Justice Dept. probe, and its avoidance of the national security aspects of intelligence handling. This meant that the topic would be suppressed by the U.S. Barack Obama Administration so that it would not be a factor in the current U.S. Presidential election campaign, in which President Obama had endorsed Mrs Clinton.

Moscow’s discreet messaging about a possible leak of the traffic, in time to impact the U.S. elections, was designed to pressure faster U.S. legal action on the matter, but was largely due to Russian concerns about possible U.S. strategic policy in the event of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Apart from the breach of U.S. Federal law in the handling of classified material, the Clinton private server was, according to GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs analysts, always likely to have been a primary target for foreign cyber warfare interception operations, particularly those of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, and North Korea (DPRK), but probably also by others, including Iran.

and

The comments on that site are...interesting.

I'm no fan of the current administration but this crap does nothing but make non-liberals look like racist shitbags. If that's the message then holy cow, awesome job guys, keep it up.

Forbes.com contributor Tim Worstall does a good job of explaining why zerohedge is completely wrong, specifically with regards to Maersk profit reports.

First, from wiki:
The website was established in 2009.[3] According to the Boston Business Journal, the website "publishes financial news and opinion, aggregated and original" from a number of writers "who purportedly hail from within the financial industry."[3] Posts on the website are signed "Tyler Durden," a character in the Chuck Palahniuk book and movie Fight Club.[3][4]

In 2009, shortly after the blog was founded, news reports identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian-born former hedge-fund analyst who was barred from the industry for insider trading by FINRA in 2008, as the founder of the site, and reported that "Durden" was a pseudonym for Ivandjiiski

Next, on to Worstall re: Maersk

It has to be said that this is becoming ever so slightly tedious. The number of times that it is necessary to point out that global trade is not collapsing, it is the price of conducting global trade which is collapsing. And of course one of the prime sources of the hysteria over this issue is Zero Hedge. Who take the opportunity of Maersk’s results to make their same old claim. Even as the quotes they use in their own article shows that their concerns are unfounded. It’s actually Craig Pirrong, the Streetwise Professor, who muses that that site is simply a disinformation campaign and while I wouldn’t go that far they’re certainly not managing to add two and two correctly upon this issue.

Here’s their headline:

Profit At World’s Largest Shipping Company Plunges On Collapsing Global Trade, Sinking Crude Prices

Nope, there has been no collapse in global trade. And this is an important point. If global trade does collapse, then that’s not just a warning sign, it’s a huge wailing klaxon that something’s terribly wrong with the world economy. We’d not just want to take note of it we’d have to. But actually in the article they quote from Maersk’s results:

“Maersk Line expects an underlying result significantly below last year as a consequence of the significantly lower freight rates going into 2016 and the continued low growth with expected global demand for seaborne container transportation to increase by 1-3%,” the company said in its annual report out Wednesday.

The company is predicting growth in trade volumes there, not falls. What’s killing the profits there is that the supply of global shipping has increased more than demand for global shipping is increasing. This is about the price of shipping, not the volume of it. As they noted in their last set of results in fact:

Analysts estimate the industry suffers from up to 30% overcapacity on some of the busiest ocean trade routes. Container ships move more than 95% of the world’s manufactured goods. New ship deliveries will boost capacity by 1.7 million containers, or 8.2%, while demand should top out at 2% this year, the lowest since 2009, estimates Jonathan Roach, a container analyst at London-based Braemar ACM Shipbroking.


And as to the Baltic Dry which Zero Hedge keep on going on about, as I said yesterday, we need to understand what this is:

Actually, we need to take a further step back. The Baltic Dry Index is an index of the price of shipping (specifically, of large bulk dry cargoes like grain and iron ore, there are other similar measures for oil, containers and so on), not an indication of the volume of shipping or trade.

Are ship owners in a lot of pain? Yep, they sure are. But that’s because there’s a lot more ships out there than there used to be, built to–hopefully–take advantage of the increasing growth in trade. That increase isn’t as large as it was thought it was going to be, the price of shipping falls. But, do note, it’s the price of shipping that is falling, not the volume of it.

Global trade might fall at some point in the future and we won’t have a nice time of it if it does. But if we’re going to have even the possibility of a sensible debate upon economic and public policy we do have to understand what price changes are trying to tell us. Global trade is not shrinking at present, it’s still growing. It’s just growing more slowly than it used to do, whatever the gyrations of the Baltic Dry Index, that measure of the price, not the volume, of shipping.

Forbes: What Russia's DNC Hack Tells Us About Hillary Clinton's Private Email Server

http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulrod...y-clintons-private-email-server/#238ca4e73b2a

We know that Russian intelligence knew about Clinton’s private email account since mid-March 2013 (or well before if a planted leak is to be believed). The private Clinton email account came to light with the publication by a Kremlin-funded news service of emails sent to Clinton by her trusted advisor Sidney Blumenthal. Thereafter, the mainstream media lost interest in the story but was revived when Clinton’s private emails became the subject of congressional investigations.

The Post story is related to Clinton’s private server in three ways. First, it shows that even a major civilian organization can scarcely protect itself from a “skilled and determined state like Russia.” If the DNC’s cyber secrets are open to Russian intelligence hackers, the odds are overwhelming that they have Clinton’s private emails as well, especially given that Clinton’s private server was a target of the highest value.

Second, the Post identifies “spearphishing” as the method of penetration of the DNC data base. From a Breitbart account we know that Clinton, by her own admission, was a victim of a “spearphishing” email, which she thought was sent by someone in her inner circle. We still do not know if this breach was by Russian intelligence or a harmless source.

Third, the DNC hack shows that a professional cyber security firm can identify security breaches and their sources with great specificity. The DNC already knows that the Russian hackers are from military intelligence and the FSB. A professional cyber security firm could have done the same for Clinton’s private server, but it has been wiped clean. And while it has been turned over to the State Department, but Clinton’s lawyer confirmed “with IT staffers that no e-mail sent or received by Clinton’s account while she was secretary of state remained on the server or backup systems associated with the system.”

If Russian intelligence had hacked Clinton’s private server in early March of 2013 (or before), the Kremlin would have the trove of “private” emails Clinton destroyed and that U.S. officialdom and the public have never seen. So while Russia’s breach of the DNC is worrisome, Putin’s real treasure trove might just be Clinton’s private emails.

as the facts stated in forbes confirm the news from zero hedge. swimming in a sea of semantics indeed. you attack the site zero hedge discrediting said site so the news posted would seem less credible, using forbes as source material. then, when forbes backs up zero hedge, you infer the author is somehow not worthy....

you spelled opinion wrong, but I fixed it for you.

That tinfoil hat sure brings out your eyes.

The 'meat' of the issue is your loose definition of words like accuracy, facts, etc. Where you get your info says a lot about where you are coming from. I'm surprised you haven't played the low information voter card, but I have hope. Your failure to acknowledge or your purposeful ignorance of the stuff you post. I don't think the author isn't worthy, the guy is a criminal. Your choices you make are your own, you are welcome to your opinion but your reasoning is laughable. Trainwreck.

The emails people get from their grandparents about Obama being a Kenyan robot lizard man occasionally reference true facts. The way it gets spun and interpreted is a different matter. I believe the national enquirer does break a big story once a year or so, doesn't mean it is a legitimate valid source of info.

most older people still expect something to be displayed in the tv news for it to be true and disregard most of what happens in emails.

You mean Guccifer. Supposed to have sent them on to wikileaks. Claims to have hacked the DNC..if ya dig a little deeper in, you'll find a couple of docs from her private server when she served as SOS. Seems legit. The HRC foundation looks more like a donor money washing machine more and more. Will any info matter? We shall see.

its 1 vs 1 or 1 to 1 on the Internet which means there is a chance they could be wrong. odds of not voting go down as you get older fwiw. when they watch the news they go into audience mode which makes it 2vs1 and gives them a chance to be wrong and still not feel negative or responsible about it at the end of the day. if they use the emails they send for 2vs1 then nothing they do is wrong in email which makes it not possible for them to comprehend the severity of whats implied.

 

[xavier7995]

But senior citizens have the highest voter participation rates? The boomers are now moving into that group as well, the first generation of them being 70-ish at the moment, which is driving the size of that pool of people up as well.

I don't understand anything that you post, but yes, old people vote. They have nothing else to do until their shows come on. There are between 11k and 12k people aging into medicare every single day. Younger people are lazy fucks, and old people miss the good 'ol days. Ya know, when things was difernt.

So, the question was, "What do you mean by most older people?"
Your answer was, "its 1 vs 1 or 1 to 1 on the Internet which means there is a chance they could be wrong."

Just making sure we are on the same crazy train.
