In het
Radio1 nieuws van 9.30 u. afgelopen zondagmorgen het bericht van de
NOS nieuwsredactie dat de VS sinds 2012 al meer dan 70 cyberaanvallen
heeft uitgevoerd op het Russische elektriciteitsnet. Volgens de
nieuwslezer doet de VS dit om te laten zien dat het terug kan slaan
na een cyberaanval...... Kijk en daar ging de nieuwsredactie voor de
zoveelste keer plat op de bek, immers die zogenaamde cyberaanvallen
van de Russen, waar geen nanometer aan bewijs voor werd geleverd,
zijn van de laatste paar jaar en niet van 2012......
Kortom
de nieuwsredactie van de NOS denkt dat de VS in 2012 door een
boodschap uit de toekomst is overgegaan tot cyberaanvallen op het
elektriciteitsnet van Rusland.....
Wat betreft het voorgaande is wel duidelijk aan welke kant de zogenaamde onafhankelijke NOS staat...... (en dat is niet aan de Russische kant, zelfs een onafhankelijk standpunt gaat de NOS nieuwsredactie blijkbaar te ver)
Wat betreft het voorgaande is wel duidelijk aan welke kant de zogenaamde onafhankelijke NOS staat...... (en dat is niet aan de Russische kant, zelfs een onafhankelijk standpunt gaat de NOS nieuwsredactie blijkbaar te ver)
Wat het
bericht ten overvloede nog eens aantoont is dat het de VS is, voor wie
niets of niemand veilig is, zelfs de partners worden uit en te na
bespioneerd door de VS, zoals de Duitse premier Merkel, van wie zelfs
de telefoon werd afgeluisterd door de VS..... Bovendien zijn het niet
andere landen maar de VS zelf die als eerste cyberaanvallen uitvoert,
zoals die op het elektriciteitsnet in Iran en sinds een aantal weken af en aan in Venezuela.... (overigens e.e.a.
doet bijna vermoeden dat de VS cyberterroristen een fout hebben
gemaakt in Zuid-Amerika, waar zelfs een paar landen gistermorgen zonder
stroom kwamen te zitten.....)
We mogen
bij wijze van spreken god op onze blote knieën danken dat niet de
Russen aanvallen hebben uitgevoerd op het elektriciteitsnet van de
VS, daar we anders waarschijnlijk al in WOIII waren beland, immers de
Trump administratie heeft vorig jaar nog laten weten dat een
cyberaanval op het elektriciteitsnet van de VS, een reden zou zijn om
het verantwoordelijke land aan te vallen en dat zelfs met
kernwapens........ (zo de waard is vertrouwt deze de gasten; alleen
in dit geval is het juist de waard die uitermate misdadig bezig is en
dat waar de gasten bij zitten.....)
Het
volgende artikel is van Caitlin Johnstone en zij beziet de
zaak ook vanuit een ander standpunt, waarin ze ook professor Stephen F. Cohen noemt, een echte deskundige op het gebied van de (verstoorde) relatie tussen Rusland en de VS:
Russia Expert’s 2017 Prophecy About The Nuclear Threat Of Russiagate Is Coming True
The New York Times has published an anonymously sourced report titled "U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid" about the "placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before" which could potentially "plunge Russia into darkness or cripple its military," with one anonymous official reporting that "We are doing things at a scale that we never contemplated a few years ago.”
Obviously
this is yet another serious escalation in the continually
mounting series of stepsthat
have been taken into a new cold war between the planet's two nuclear
superpowers. Had a report been leaked to Russian media from anonymous
Kremlin officials that Moscow was escalating its cyber-aggressions
against America's energy grid, this would doubtless be labeled an act
of war by the political/media class of the US and its allies with
demands for immediate retaliation.
To
put this in perspective, The
New York Times reported
last year that
the Pentagon was pushing for the US Nuclear Posture Review to include
the strategy of retaliating against serious Russian cyberattacks on
American power grids with
nuclear weapons.
So that's scary enough. What's even scarier is the information that the Times buried way down in the 21st to 23rd paragraphs of its report:
"Two administration officials said they believed Mr. Trump had not been briefed in any detail about the steps to place 'implants' — software code that can be used for surveillance or attack — inside the Russian grid.
"Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation to go into detail with Mr. Trump about operations against Russia for concern over his reaction — and the possibility that he might countermand it or discuss it with foreign officials, as he did in 2017 when he mentioned a sensitive operation in Syria to the Russian foreign minister.
"Because the new law defines the actions in cyberspace as akin to traditional military activity on the ground, in the air or at sea, no such briefing would be necessary, they added."
In
an article titled "Pentagon
Keeps Trump in the Dark About its Cyber Attacks on Russia", Rolling
Stone's
Peter Wade described this jarring revelation as follows:
"New laws, enacted by Congress last year, allow such 'clandestine military activity' in cyberspace to go ahead without the president’s approval. So, in this case, those new laws are protecting American interests… by keeping the sitting president out of the loop. What a (scary) time to be alive."

So
Trump is in a bit of a bind now. The escalation has already been put
in place, which will likely see an equal response from Moscow if it
isn't scaled back. But scaling it back would mean a whole new wave of
shrieking alarmism from the political/media class about the
conspiracy theory that just won't die no matter how much evidence is
mounted against it: that Trump is a controlled puppet of the Kremlin.
All as he's working to build the case for re-election in 2020.
Stephen
F Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies at New York University
and Princeton University and one of America's leading experts on
US-Russia relations, has been warning for years that exactly this
would happen. In an April 2017 interview
on Democracy
Now,
Cohen warned that placing political pressure on a US president to
never step back from escalations during a showdown between nuclear
superpowers could have potentially world-ending consequences should
mounting tensions see a situation similar to the Cuban missile crisis
again.
"I
think this is the most dangerous moment in American-Russian
relations, at least since the Cuban missile crisis," Cohen said.
"And arguably, it’s more dangerous, because it’s more
complex. Therefore, we—and then, meanwhile, we have in Washington
these—and, in my judgment, factless accusations that Trump has
somehow been compromised by the Kremlin. So, at this worst moment in
American-Russian relations, we have an American president who’s
being politically crippled by the worst imaginable—it’s
unprecedented. Let’s stop and think. No American president has ever
been accused, essentially, of treason. This is what we’re talking
about here, or that his associates have committed treason."
"Imagine,
for example, John Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis,"
Cohen said. "Imagine if Kennedy had been accused of being a
secret Soviet Kremlin agent. He would have been crippled. And the
only way he could have proved he wasn’t was to have launched a war
against the Soviet Union. And at that time, the option was nuclear
war."
People
rarely take time to deeply reflect on the uniquely important fact
that our species came within a hair's breadth of total annihilation
during the Cuban missile crisis. We learned long after it was all
over that the only reason a nuclear-armed Soviet submarine didn't
discharge its payload on the US Navy and set off a full-scale nuclear
exchange between the US and the USSR was because one of the three men
in the sub needed to authorize the weapon's use stood against the
other two and refused. That man's name was Vasili
Arkhipov,
and he's responsible for the fact that you and everyone you love
exists today.
President
Kennedy was on the phone constantly with the Soviets during the Cuban
missile crisis, and any number of things could have gone
cataclysmically wrong during that exchange had Kennedy not made
certain concessions at certain times and known when to hold back
instead of pressing forward. He made a series of diplomatic
moves that would not be possible in this current paranoid, leak-prone
climate, including secretly
recalling the USA’s Jupiter missiles from
their position in Turkey at Khrushchev’s request.
For
all the outrage that liberals display whenever a high-profile
Republican utters the phrase "deep state", it sure is
interesting that the Commander-in-Chief has found himself in a
situation where he is at the whim of a collective of warmongers who
are advancing pre-existing agendas against a nation they perceive as
a geostrategic threat to US hegemony. It begs the question, who is
really in charge?
The
US war machine is the most powerful military force in the history of
civilization, and the alliance of nations that it upholds is
functionally the most powerful empire that the world has ever seen.
Because so much power depends on the behavior of this gargantuan war
engine, it is seen by those with real power as too important to be
left to the will of the electorate, and too important to be left to
the will of the elected Commander-in-Chief. This is why Americans are
the most propagandized people in the world, this is why Russia
hysteria has been blasted into their psyches for three years, and
this is why we are all at an ever-increasing risk of dying in a
nuclear holocaust.
UPDATE: Trump now
seems like he might be denying that
what The
New York Times’
sources said is happening is happening. It’s unlikely that
the Times would
fabricate a story whole cloth, so if Trump is in fact denying the
story then either the sources are lying about what they’re doing in
their own purported jobs, or Trump is still being kept in the dark,
or Trump is just lying.
“Do
you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating
that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on
Russia,” Trump tweeted. “This is a virtual act of Treason by a
once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for
our Country. ALSO, NOT TRUE! Anything goes with our Corrupt News
Media today. They will do, or say, whatever it takes, with not even
the slightest thought of consequence! These are true cowards and
without doubt, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”
Curiouser
and curiouser.
