This is all smoke and mirrors.

The DNC is claiming a Russian Hack with wonderful support from the media. Reuters, for instance, gave over $1m to the Clinton Foundation.

When the FBI accused the N. Koreans of the Sony hack, at least there was some credible evidence conjoured up. Obama used an executive order to apply more sanctions on NK even though there were voices saying it was still inconclusive.

But now we are expected to believe the DNC has been hacked by the Russians in partnership with Trump.

Seth Rich, supposed DNC leaker gets shot in the back.

And now this.

The DNC stabs Russia in the back - Bill was happy to accept $500,000 for a speech in Moscow and the Clinton Foundation $millions just before Hillary authorized a major Uranium deal.

I sound crazed writing this, like I'm something from InfoWars. This election cycle is standing the world on its head. Be very careful who you believe.



It is "smoke and mirrors", but in completely different sense, which is clear now:

Russians have been known for a long time (whole Cold War) for being able to sacrifice one, less important spy to distract enemy's attention from more valuable one.

Now think about Snowden in this context: few years ago NSA must had been sniffing around, looking for a leak. Suddenly, one of their employes takes few laptops with secret data and runs, ending up in Russia. NSA is furious, but on the other hand their alertness goes down. Few years later it turns out that there's still someone leaking their secrets.


Doesn't that completely ignore the fact that Snowden got caught in Russia in the first place because his passport got revoked?


OR MAYBE...

Seth Rich was shot by the FBI, in order to make it _look_ like the DNC shot him.

"supposed leaker" is really stretching it. there has been zero evidence to it other than wikileaks insinuating he was, which is a bit of a shitty thing for them to have done considering now everyone is focused on that aspect rather than about who actually murdered him.


That's my point. I'm not asserting anything except don't take any assertions at face value.


fair enough. the way you worded your post makes it hard to tell whether you're saying these conspiracies/theories are true.
