The upshot is that there was no super Russian "tradecraft" involved. Podesta himself was not "hacked". Nor was Google "hacked" in any real sense. It was a pedestrian login and email sync. It could have most easily been done from Western European or American or Canadian IP address spaces.
Thus you correctly identified the main way our regime will combat it. They will lie about "Russians", they will throw up chaff like leaking obviously incorrect material to discredit the real material. Wikileaks however is not stupid enough to fall for any fake material. Also Wikileaks knows most of their sources although some sources might send material via an anonymizer to avoid being ID'd if Assange gets captured or hacked.
Bless you for your vigilance and time.
Frankly, I’m more concerned about damage to US communications, but don’t want to be a nag.

PING!
you omit the crucial fact from your analysis
the current American Cyber Attack on Russia is operating covertly at full strength. It can not be strengthened within the limits of current technology
Another thread posted in chat asked what will we do if Hillary wins. I am not a pessimist but I am a realist and the media is going to do their best to make sure she wins. One question is if she wins and further turns over the internet to the globalists and the corporations, what are we going to do about it? I think there’s a lot we can do, but we have to think about how to be most effective under the new regime.
‘Another thread posted in chat asked what will we do if Hillary wins.’
Having swapped posts with you, I have concluded that you and other ‘tech’ guys are uniquely qualified to tackle any tyrannical threat in unexpected ways.
If Hillary wins, I anticipate the need to get foreign speaking people informed. It would profit us and help get others informed if we learn Spanish. Not joking.
But that’s just for starters.
I myself will try to teach others through fiction. When I was a young man I had assumed that was the only way to reach others, and the internet changed my life strategy. But that is one of my skills.
Your talents probably lie on the tech side. But also consider ‘old school’ communication contingencies. Printers with cheap ink, or maybe instructions for how to make ham radios at home for example. Things like that.
Anticipate the worst case scenario, keep your head down, and let others rush out in the open to see what happens. Plenty cannot resist to charge out and confront enemies head-on.
Be smart. They are volunteering to brave the danger and God bless them. They might not have good plans anyway, so you can evaluate how their actions turn out.
If Hillary wins some people should join or remain in the military. We would need patriots there.
During Obama our veterans deserved a break. But break time would be over if she wins.
Agreed. This is all a plot of the Obama/Clinton administration to divert the attention and to discredit the leaks. We need a common enemy but the real enemy are Clinton’s corruption and Obama’s executive orders!
