RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE USING HACKED DATA TO IDENTIFY AND NEUTRALIZE U.S. AGENTS
Powerline ^ | August 31,2015 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 09/01/2015 8:38:36 AM PDT by Hojczyk

This is one of the great scandals of the Obama administration–really, of the post-war era. But our Democratic Party media, fearful of what may be coming in next year’s presidential election, have consistently downplayed it. The Los Angeles Times reports: “Foreign spies use hacked data to identify U.S. intelligence agents.”

Foreign spy services, especially in China and Russia, are aggressively aggregating and cross-indexing hacked U.S. computer databases — including security clearance applications, airline records and medical insurance forms — to identify U.S. intelligence officers and agents, U.S. officials said.

At least one clandestine network of U.S. engineers and scientists who provide technical assistance to U.S. undercover operatives and agents overseas has been compromised as a result, according to two U.S. officials.

And yet, as best we can tell, the Obama administration has done nothing to retaliate, even though our own technical capacities are, if we ever were to use them, far greater.

This is a very big problem. Is Barack Obama concerned about it? Or is his attention devoted entirely to fomenting race hatred in the United States? National security is, apparently, the least of his concerns.

Asked whether adversaries had used this information against U.S. operatives, [William Evanina, a top U.S. counterintelligence official] said, “absolutely.”

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, say China and Russia are collecting and scrutinizing sensitive U.S. computer files for counterintelligence purposes.

That's not the worst of it - they've got Hillary's emails... asking if bribes from the Republic of Congo are acceptable... Chinese and Russians are yucking it up over our stupidity... they fall on the floor laughing when they think of Hillary running for President...

I’d feel a lot safer if I believed this was simple incompetence. Unfortunately this administration’s track record would indicate otherwise.

It's not "incompetence"! Obama does what he does DELIBERATELY. He and Putin share the same "new world order" mission. His stated goal is the "fundamental transformation of the United States".

Obama has more flexibility now that he’s been re-elected.

Mar 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ...”

Obama: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” That statement tells us much about the president’s mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president’s comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase “on all these issues,” implying more is at stake than just missile defense.”

When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn’t be too flexible:

You have to admit, Caliph Baraq has made the term “lame duck” obsolete for Democrats.

From Investor’s Business Daily, 2012:

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff

Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.

It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.

He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 — linchpin of our missile defense — might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."

“In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as “non-binding” and that “my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president’s constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.”

Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.

Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we’ve deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.
mp3Subscribe to the IBD Editorials Podcast

Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy’s Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.

The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the “early intercept” phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3’s secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.

The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan’s dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.

Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

This is an act of War pure and simple the GOP-E Congress has there heads burried in the sand or is to busy thinking of ways to undermine our freedoms to care about this and as far as the American people are concern if it’s the least news coming out of Hollywood Tabloids or Sports news on ESPN they too do not care it seems we have learned nothing from 9/11 and I say it won’t long before Jeff’s book really starts to come alive if it hasn’t already.

To be sure, he'll try to do all that he could to see that America will be left in ruins before he leaves office, with the stupid f-ing snooze media cheering him on all along the way.

Gosh....matters of national security sure are important.

It’s like lives are at stake.

Treason isn’t just siding with the Moslems or communists.

Treason is also selling our national security for money.

Treason is covering-up for someone selling our national security.

Treason can get you hung.
