FAKE NEWS ABOUT RUSSIA HAS LOST CREDIBILITY

In the last few weeks, we have heard so much news about alleged Russian hacks of DNC and Podesta emails that it isn’t even news anymore. The only reason it appears to be news is that it continues to have front-page position in the orthodox media even though the basic story is old and unchanged.

The story contains basically two elements: (1) security agencies of the US government say there is overwhelming evidence that emails were hacked by the Russian government to effect the presidential election, but (2) those agencies have failed to deliver that evidence. The only new elements that appear from day to day is the name of the person or agency that makes the claim and that fails to deliver. The featured stories from this week’s news are classic examples of that pattern.

The only reason we are bothering to report on this ongoing non-news phenomenon is that the major media outlets are counting on people to become so saturated by the claim that they fail to notice that the proof of the claim is still missing. We must not let them get away with that deception.

FEATURED STORIES

President elect Donald Trump is suspicious of the intelligence agencies he will oversee because they are stalling a briefing in which they promised to provide proof that Russian hacking of emails influenced US elections. The evidence that the Obama administration has released so far is far from credible. For example, a list of internet addresses that they released purportedly linking Russians to hacking turned out to be from the TOR internet service, from American universities, and from Yahoo. AP 2017 Jan 4 (Story)

James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Russians did not hack into the elections or change vote tallies. He stated, however, that the Russians influenced voter attitudes through RT (Russia Today news channel), social media, and fake news, in addition to hacking emails, all of which had an impact on the election. He failed to comment that these are precisely the activities pursued by the US in other countries or that the politically significant content of the emails were the responsibility of those who sent them, not those who revealed them. AFP 2017 Jan 5 (Story) RT 2017 Jan 4 (Story) (Cached)

Sean Hannity interviews Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Assange says that the Russians were not the source of his information about the DNC and Podesta emails. Because the Wikileaks revelations were not widely reported in the orthodox media, he concluded that the Leftists in politics and the media colluded together. Assange is worried that his enemies might take revenge on his children. Fox News 2017 Jan 3 (Story)

The story of Russia hacking the DNC emails is more fake news. David E. Spring, a retired college instructor, who specializes in website security and design, analyzed a 13-page report from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security that claims to prove that Russians hacked into the DNC emails. Spring found that, out of 885 ISP links offered as evidence of hacking, only two were in Russia. He concludes that it is far more likely that the attacks are coming from the NSA. Turning Point News 2016 Dec 30 (Story) (Cached)

More fake news from the Washington Post. The newspaper reported that the Russian government hacked the energy grid in Vermont, putting America at risk. Actually, the reporters didn’t even bother to contact the Burlington utility company that supposedly had been hacked. If they had done so, they would have known that the grid was not hacked by the Russians or anyone else. RPI 2017 Jan 3 (Story)

 

WEEK IN REVIEW
Florida: Esteban Santiago has been identified by his military ID as the shooter at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. He has been arrested for killing five people. The sheriff and the mayor say that he acted alone, which is a strange thing to say so quickly after the event with no investigation. ABC Local 2017 Jan 6 (Story) (Cached)
Mexico: Protests and looting fueled by anger over a 20% increase in gasoline prices have led to four deaths, the ransacking of at least 300 stores, and the arrests of more than 700 people. The rise in gas price was the result of the government’s deregulation of energy prices, which means they no longer will be subsidized by taxes. A gallon of gas now costs just under $4, which is approximately equal to the minimum wage for a day’s work. NY Post 2017 Jan 6 (Story) (Cached)
US: Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie introduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve. President-elect Trump has expressed support for the bill. Similar bills in the past have received endorsements for popular approval but few actual votes. Critics of the Fed are hopeful that it will be different this time. Townhall 2017 Jan 5 (Story) (Cached)
Bowie County, Texas: A 74-year-old grandmother had just sat down in her living room to watch the evening news when, suddenly, she was face-to-face with an intruder pointing a gun at her. Much to his surprise, she picked up a pistol of her own and pointed it straight at him. Result? The intruder fled. [Question: Does possession of a gun by peaceful citizens increase or decrease crime? Does it cause an increase or decrease in killing? Answer: The only thing more dangerous than having a gun is not having a gun.] ABC News 2017 Jan 4 (Story)

Chicago: A mentally challenged white man was kidnapped and tortured by four black youths who live-streamed their acts of violence over the Internet. When this story first aired, reporters refused to identify the race of the criminals. The four, who all are 18-years-old, made derogatory racial comments against white people and Donald Trump. Chicago police declined to identify this as a hate crime because of political correctness. Fox News 2017 Jan 4 (Story)
Chicago ended the year with 762 murders, the highest number since 1997. The cause of the increase is linked to a drop in Chicago policing activity due to an anti-police sentiment within the population. particularly in minority communities. Chicago police have cut back on the ‘stop and frisk’ policy by 80% because of threat of lawsuits by the ACLU. Independent Journal Review 2017 Jan 3 (Story) (Cached)
US: On the first order of business on the first day of the new GOP controlled Congress, the GOP revealed its ‘business-as-usual’ mindset by trying to gut the ethics committee that oversees their activities. Trump immediately called them on it with a tweet, which caused them to hold an emergency meeting and drop the proposal. Trump’s quick response is seen as a hopeful sign that he will oppose corruption, no matter which party is engaged in it. InfoWars 2017 Jan 3 (Story)

Hackers, identifying themselves as HackBack and Anonymous, broke into the website of the Bilderberg Club and replaced their front page with a warning to the elitists, telling them they have a year to work for the benefit of humanity, or their assets will be hacked next.

Sweden: Five Afghani refugees filmed themselves raping and beating an underage Swedish boy, yet they received light sentences because of their youth, based on their unsubstantiated claim to be minors.

President-elect Donald Trump has doubts about the safety of vaccines and has chosen Congressman Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon, to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Price is a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a group that rejects so-called “scientific consensus” on such topics as vaccines. Natural News 2017 Jan 2 (Story) (Cached)
Independent researcher, Nathan Stolpman, of Alt-News examines the stories surrounding the New Years attack in Istanbul. He uncovers numerous incongruities that include: cell-phone video without an identified source that is passed off as video from a surveillance camera, what are supposed to be bullet sparks that appear to be merely spark balls used in paintball games, video of the shooter dressed as Santa, which was provided by a loyal supporter of  Turkish President Erdogan, the curious coincidence of cell phones said to have blocked bullets and saved lives, and a second attack in Istanbul at a mosque on the same day that was said to be ‘non-political.’ The Turkish government now is accusing terrorist hackers for electrical outages that likely were caused by snow storms. Stolpman concludes that Erdogan is behind the attacks  and is using them as an excuse to crackdown on opposition from his own people. AltNews What It Is 2017 Jan 2 (Story)

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A TRICK
2016 Dec 31 from Gairn Mclennan
Hello Edward.
Global climate change was an very good trick – we were made to feel guilty of causing a temperature fluctuation which effected this solar system, not just earth. We have saved a lot of energy (partially causing the oil industry decline-over supply of the last 2 years) and developed electric transport in it’s stead- so it’s not all bad, but the money that was/is channeled into fraudulent carbon-tax schemes etc needs to stop as it’s corruption at it’s most covert level. Carbon dioxide is needed for trees to grow – plant more trees they bring rain and will stop desertification.

PRETTY WIERD
2016 Dec 31 from Bill Hogsten
Hey Mister Griffin,
Came across an odd bit of news. Wish I had saved the article, it may be on YouTube. It was in reference to something eating, as the author put it, a chemtrail. It was a short video from this past September. He claimed some object, possibly a UFO, was eating them. I watched the video, I am no expert by any means, but it did appear that something took out a large section of a chemtrail. Trick photography, wind shear, what have you, it may be something for your team to look into. Odd to say the least.

82 YEARS AND STILL KICKING
2016 Dec 31 from Regis Sauger
Mr.Griffin, I am “82” years old and still kicking. I have attached a work book that I wrote for some of the classes and workshops I used to teach. I commend you, not only for your analysis of the Federal Reserve but also the detail in which you explain the history of money and the corruption involved from the birth of the Rothschild influence. God Bless you and keep up the great work. Remember what my Mother said to us kids. “Your body follow your mind. So stay on top of things”
