Poorly done, Fatally flawed. That describes Obama’s entire run in the White House. Caught now with his pants down. What a legacy!

Within hours of the report being released (it would have been sooner but they surprise-released on me), I wrote:

---------------------------------------

Ok.

I’m a computer developer with security programming training, specifically, Federal training.

THIS IS INDEED A LAME GARBAGE REPORT.

There is ZERO offered evidence any of this was Russian in origin, and merely details pretty industry-standard best practices and talks about very common attacks.

One particular one popped out at me: XSS. Cross Site Scripting. GOOD GOD, YOU PEOPLE HAVEN’T HARDENED AGAINST SIMPLE SCRIPT-KIDDY ATTACKS??? This attack is the simplest to carry out, and the simplest to defend against.

This ‘report’ is a litany of incompetance and half of the space is taken up with the industry’s ‘best practices’ in defending against attacks.

And not ONE LICK of evidence Russia was involved.

Not ONE LICK.

They are frantic, petrified of what will be learned about their activities on January 20. Snowden’s stuff was just the beginning.

As do I.

Or no info at all.

Perhaps there’s millions of us. Or, perhaps the Bot dropped a bit somewhere and is always just a little off.

I always think of the Series Blacklist and the Cabal whenever the OBama administration is mentioned.

Joint Analysis Report Here.

There is nothing there - no data, nothing. The Russians are bad folks. Practice safe sex with your computer.

The report wasn’t by Obama—it was by the FBI and the Dept of Homeland Security—and don’t forget earlier versions of this same “Russian Hacked the Election” story came from the CIA—why has the name of that rogue agency mysteriously disappeared from the narrative? US government agencies are manufacturing lies for the puppet Obama to act upon. President Eisenhower’s “Military Industrial Complex” in action. It means big trouble for Americans and for President Trump after he is inaugurated. Can President Trump purge the traitors from the US Government before they can implement another JFK solution? I pray he can, but I feel frightened that the future is being planned in such a corrupt den of serpents as is Washington DC.
