COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MARY DEJEVSKY IN THE
GUARDIAN
"Russia may well
be meddling in the US election. Why wouldn't it?'
Just completely transparent propaganda, Mary Dejevsky.
In effect, you are supporting the crooked behaviors of
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (by the way, who was just hired by Hillary’s campaign
after resigning in disgrace as DNC Chairperson) and Hillary Clinton, the most
corrupt candidate in memory, by switching subjects, and indeed supporting the
very line of attack Hillary’s people now have taken.
A little concern over this troubling anti-democratic
behavior might better be in order.
First, Putin is too wise a man to get himself in the mess of
American politics.
As an old senior intelligence officer, he is well aware how
easily such a thing could go wrong, creating what intelligence services call
"blowback.”
There was plenty of motive here for others to act, and there
are a lot of skillful hackers on the planet, or didn't you know? Gluccifer from
Romania gave us Clinton's State Department stuff she so carelessly left
available, having broken half a dozen laws in the process.
By all accounts, Russia had that information, too, but
declined to use it and get involved. An unknown named Gluccifer 2 is
responsible for the DNC hack. And by the way, the DNC was hacked many times. It
even complained about it publicly at one point.
Second, a very clever man with computers, Edward Snowden,
has just said, and he should know, that it's entirely possible to find out
easily who hacked the DNC. He names a special facility which he used once to
confirm a Chinese hack.
I haven't heard any claims or evidence from the FBI or NSA
along those lines, have you?
But, no, we journalists just go ahead, making new, unproved
charges and innuendos, don’t we?
Charges which just happen to cast a shadow of foreign
conspiracy on Trump, which is a cheap and unethical trick in my view and which
effectively support Hillary, the direct beneficiary of all this terrible
behavior in the first place.
Of course, Putin would have a preferred candidate, as he is
entitled to have, but that is a zero argument for Russia's involvement.
