Senate Intel panel finds Russian-affiliated hackers targeted at least 18 states' 2016 election systems By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News 5/8/2018 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...at-least-18-states-2016-election-systems.html Protecting your vote from foreign interference Russian assault on our election system prompts new measures to protect your vote in the mid-terms. Eric Shawn reports. The Senate Intel Committee released a report Tuesday saying Russian-affiliated actors did in fact conduct “coordinated” attacks against the U.S. during the 2016 elections, and that despite “successfully” penetrating voter databases, there was no evidence any election results were manipulated. In a preliminary summary of its investigation into Russian involvement during the 2016 election, the committee found that cyber actors, connected with the Russian government, targeted election systems of at least 18 states, and breached their infrastructures in some cases. “Russian actors scanned databases for vulnerabilities, attempted intrusions, and in a small number of cases successfully penetrated a voter registration database,” the memo read. “This activity was part of a larger campaign to prepare to undermine confidence in the voting process.” The investigation found that at least 18 states were targeted with the possibility of three other targets. There was evidence of other suspicious activity that that committee was unable to connect with those Russian actors. Of the states involved, six were exposed to “malicious access attempts on voting-related websites.” SENATE CRACKS DOWN ON ELECTION HACKING, PUSHES BILLS TO PROTECT THE VOTE Perhaps the most alarming finding was evidence pointing to the hackers' access to “restricted elements of election infrastructure.” According to the committee, such access put these hackers in a position to “alter or delete voter registration data.” Despite the breaches, there was no evidence to show that the actors changed any votes, proving that election results were accurate, lawmakers said. “While our investigation remains ongoing, one conclusion is clear: the Russians were relentless in attempting to meddle in the 2016 election, and they will continue their efforts,” committee member Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said. The summary also noted that while evidence showed these actors were in a positon to manipulate state election infrastructure, it was unclear whether they decided against acting or if they were gathering information. RUSSIAN ‘HACK’ OF 2016 VOTER ROLLS LEAVES GALESBURG, ILLINIS, REELING “The Committee does not know whether the Russian government-affiliated actors intended to exploit vulnerabilities during the 2016 elections and decided against taking action, or whether they were merely gathering information and testing capabilities for a future attack.” The committee's vice chairman, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., shared his concerns as voters prepare for upcoming midterm elections. “Elections at all levels are central to our democracy, to our institutions, and to our government's legitimacy, and I remain concerned that we as a country are still not fully prepared for the 2018 midterm elections.” To ensure that the upcoming elections are more secure from cyberattacks, committee members also released a list of preliminary recommendations including improving information sharing on possible threats, increased cybersecurity, replacing outdated and venerable voting systems and assistance from the federal government in the form of grants. The committee intends to release a more comprehensive report which will be submitted for declassification review and released to the public when approved. Fox Business’ Adam Shapiro contributed to this report.
Now, I wonder why the MSM would be pushing articles about the possibility of voting problems? Shifting the focus perhaps? RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA!!!! The reason I say this is because it is so incredibly simple for a group with even mid level understanding of IT infrastructure and routing tactics to spoof the origin of an attack on any website or database that saying you have proof is quite literally absurd. None of this is rocket science.
SYRIA ATTACKS ISRAEL Syria bombards Israel with rockets and artillery after Damascus air strikes The Israeli army claim '20 rockets' were fired by Iranian Quds Force at their defensive line in the Golan Heights near Syria's southern border IRANIAN forces in Syria have launched missiles at the Israeli military in the annexed Golan Heights region, Israel's army has claimed. An Israeli air defence (IDF) spokesman said “about 20 rockets” were fired by Iranian Quds Force at the Jewish state's defensive line in the area - which has been occupied by Israel since 1967. IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus later confirmed to reporters that no one has been injured and that defence systems intercepted some of the missiles. He said that Israeli forces had "responded", adding: “The IDF sees this Iranian attack on Israel with severity. This event is not over.” Fighter jets have also been seen flying over the area, which lies near the Syria’s southern border, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Shortly before the suspected strikes on the Golan Heights, reports within Syria claimed that Israel had attacked targets in the Quneitra province south of Damascus. This comes after missiles strikes last night were attributed to Israel following reports of “irregular activity” of Iranian forces in Syria. Campaigners said the strikes killed nine people and targeted depots and rocket launchers that likely belonged to Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards. The Israel Defence Forces has deployed Iron Dome missile defence systems in Golan Heights and in northern Israel in preparation for a retaliatory strike, reports Haaretz. Tuesday's strikes represent an immediate escalation in tensions in the region after US President Donald Trump walked away from the 2015 nuclear agreement Barack Obama struck with Iran. Following America's withdrawal from the deal, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said his country would develop nuclear weapons if Iran restarted its nuclear programme. Known officially as the JCPOA, the so-called Iran deal was designed to curb Iranian nuclear ambitions while in return easing the sanctions crippling its economy. Israel, which almost never confirms or denies airstrikes in Syria, did not comment on Tuesday's attack. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6249305/israel-air-raid-sirens-syria-golan-heights-strike-damascus/
Has anyone heard of Kevin Shipp? I was given a link by my sister yesterday for one of his talks earlier this year. It's a talk by Kevin Shipp, who is a former CIA agent. There are 3 parts and I've only watched the first part (it's over an hour). Everything he is talking about including the Shadow Government and Deep State. When watching this I could only think about Fatima, Fatima, Fatima! He states that our Constitution was hijacked in 1913. He goes on to explain the history of what has transpired and how his own life is constantly followed by the government (literally!) since speaking out. His talk also mirrors what Q has been suggesting, although Kevin Shipp has nothing to do with Q. I would appreciate any input y'all have! God Bless!
Yes, I have watched some of his presentations and what he says certainly lines up with much of what we are seeing these days coming out in the alt sphere of information. I take these things with a bit of a grain of suspicion however because his credentials seem to be very good if that makes sense. To his credit, he was giving these presentations for quite some time. The US but really the world at large has been the proverbial frog in the pot for many generations. Masonry, Marxism, along with many secret societies have infiltrated and corrupted many if not all of our institutions and governing bodies. At least people are finally seeming to wake up to this now. This in itself is not too surprising however because ultimately this is exactly what these hidden agendas planned all along. The great reveal. I suspect though that it was not intended to take place quite the way it is happening.
MORE GREAT NEWS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CALLING OUT SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER ONCE AGAIN & RIGHTFULLY SO!!! View attachment 7835
http://babylonbee.com/news/cnn-report-evil-trump-kidnaps-three-people-from-north-korean-paradise/ CNN Report: Evil Trump Kidnaps Three People From North Korean Paradise May 10, 2018 ATLANTA, GA—An exclusive new CNN report revealed Thursday that President Trump has kidnapped three people from the paradise of North Korea, forcing them to get on a plane and return to the United States against their wishes. A teary-eyed CNN anchor broke the story, visibly enraged at the egregious act of international terrorism. CNN reporters had discovered that the three visitors had been in North Korea enjoying a vacation for many months before Trump unilaterally decided to have them forcibly flown back to America, even aggressively accosting them when they landed. “This heartbreaking story shows just how low President Trump will go,” the anchor said, his voice quavering. “How much longer will this country allow this madman to go on trampling the name of the United States on the world stage? This is an unprecedented act, for a sitting president to personally kidnap perfectly happy visitors to the communist wonderland of North Korea.” “The time for impeachment is now!” he added, beginning to chant, “Impeach Trump! Impeach Trump!” At publishing time, sources at CNN had been able to confirm that Trump is planning on flying to a meeting with Kim Jong Un, where the two will discuss how to most efficiently destroy and enslave the world.
Beautiful! Here is the Note the Liberated North Korean Prisoners Gave Mike Pence When they Landed in US "On Thursday morning the three freed North Korean prisoners returned home to the United States. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump greeted the men when they arrived back on US soil. After the men departed the plane they waved to the cheering crowd. Then they came down the stairs and handed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and VP Mike Pence a note. Many Americans were wondering what the former prisoners gave to Mike Pompeo. Now we know. It was a note with Psalm 126: 1-3 "When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion… margaret brennanVerified account @margbrennan "We were like men who dreamed." Here's a copy of the handwritten psalm given to @VP Pence & signed by the 3 freed prisoners. They handed it to him after arrival at JBA. @FaceTheNation margaret brennanVerified account @margbrennan .@VP Pence showed me the psalm & personal thank you handwritten on a notecard by the 3 Americans freed from North Korea.

Raymond Arroyo interviewed Sebastian Gorka about this week's events in relation to the JCPOA, including the USA/President Trump, Iran, Israel and Syria, Edited to add: The following segment with Ralph Reed is also very good imo,
Are Bibi and Bolton in the Wheel House Now? By Patrick J. Buchanan Brushing aside the anguished pleas of our NATO allies, President Trump Tuesday contemptuously trashed the Iranian nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. Prime Minister Theresa May of Great Britain, President Emmanuel Macron of France and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were put on notice that their ties to Iran are to be severed, or secondary sanctions will be imposed on them. Driving the point home, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin ordered Airbus to cancel its $19 billion contract to sell 100 commercial planes to Iran. Who is cheering Trump’s trashing of the treaty? The neocons who sought his political extinction in 2016, the royals of the Gulf, Bibi Netanyahu, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC had warned Iranians that the Americans were duplicitous. When Trump finished speaking, Bibi launched strikes on Iranian bases in Syria, and flew to Moscow to persuade Vladimir Putin not to give the Iranians any air defense against Israeli attacks. Iranian forces responded with 20 missiles fired at the Golan, which ignited a massive Israeli counterstrike Thursday night, a 70-missile attack on Iranian bases in Syria. We appear to be at the beginning of a new war, and how it ends we know not. But for Bibi and National Security Adviser John Bolton, the end has always been clear — the smashing of Iran and regime change. Tuesday, Trump warned that Iran is on “a quest for nuclear weapons,” and “if we do nothing … in just a short period of time, the world’s worst sponsor of state terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapon.” And where is the evidence for this Bush-like assertion? If Iran is on a “quest” for nukes, why did 17 U.S. intel agencies, “with high confidence,” in 2007 and 2011, say Iran did not even have a nuclear weapons program? Saddam Hussein could not convince us he had no WMD, because the nonexistent WMD were the pretext, the casus belli, for doing what the War Party had already decided to do: invade Iraq. We were lied into that war. And how did it turn out? Why has the Foreign Relations committee not called in the heads of the U.S. intelligence agencies and asked them flat out: Does Iran have an active nuclear bomb program, or is this a pack of lies to stampede us into another war? If Iran is on a quest for nukes, let the intel agencies tell us where the work is being done, so we can send inspectors and show the world. Efforts to pull us back from being dragged into a new war have begun. The Europeans are begging Iran to abide by the terms of the nuclear deal, even if the Americans do not. But the regime of Hassan Rouhani, who twice defeated Ayatollah-backed candidates, is in trouble. The nuclear deal and opening to the West were the reasons the children of the Green Movement of 2009 voted for Rouhani. If his difficulties deepen because of reimposed U.S. and Western sanctions, his great achievement, the nuclear deal, will be seen by his people as the failed gamble of a fool who trusted the Americans. Should Rouhani’s regime fall, we may get a Revolutionary Guard regime rather less to the liking of everyone, except for the War Party, which could seize upon that as a pretext for war. What happens next is difficult to see. Iran does not want a war with Israel in Syria that it cannot win. Iran’s ally, Hezbollah, which just swept democratic elections in Lebanon, does not want a war with Israel that would bring devastation upon the nation it now leads. The Russians don’t want a war with Israel or the Americans. But as Putin came to the rescue of a Syria imperiled by ISIS and al-Qaida, to save his ally from a broad insurgency, he is not likely to sit impotently and watch endless air and missile strikes on Syria. Trump has said U.S. troops will be getting out of Syria. But Bolton and the generals appear to have walked him back. There are reports we are reinforcing the Kurds in Manbij on the west bank of the Euphrates, though President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded that the Kurds vacate all Syrian border towns with Turkey. Americans are also reportedly on the border of Yemen, assisting Saudi Arabia in locating the launch sites of the rockets being fired at Riyadh by Houthi rebels in retaliation for the three years of savage Saudi assault on their country. Meanwhile, the news out of Afghanistan, our point of entry into the Near East wars almost a generation ago, is almost all bad — most of it about terrorist bombings of Afghan troops and civilians. Is the foreign policy that America Firsters voted for being replaced by the Middle East agenda of Bibi and the neoconservatives? So it would appear. http://buchanan.org/blog/are-bibi-and-bolton-in-the-wheel-house-now-129294
Still some lights left to interfere with the EU monopoly stupidity: Victor Orban and Hungary Block EU Motion to Condemn Trump for Moving Embassy to Jerusalem Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania foiled an attempt by the EU to condemn President Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. The European leaders were hoping to send a strong message to Trump. Meanwhile, attacks on Jewish citizens continue to climb as the continent imports more and more third world migrants. Breitbart.com reported: Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, supported by the Czech Republic and Romania, blocked an EU motion condemning President Donald Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, according to Israeli news anchor Barak Ravid. Israeli officials and European diplomats told the Channel 10 News journalist that the three countries — part of the Visegrad group of conservative, pro-sovereignty countries within the European Union — blocked the joint statement led by Emmanuel Macron’s France, which was supposed to “embarrass and isolate” the Trump administration internationally. Rashid said the defeated statement outlined a common European Union position on Israel and Palestine containing the following three points, according to Axios: Jerusalem should be the capital of both states — Israel and the future state of Palestine. The final status of Jerusalem should be negotiated and only determined through negotiations between the parties. The member states of the EU will not follow the U.S. and will not move their embassies to Jerusalem. Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was said to have been embarrassed by the failure, with diplomats complaining to Rashid that the bloc’s leadership was finding it harder to direct member-states. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...ondemn-trump-for-moving-embassy-to-jerusalem/

There are those who can recognize when history is being made .... for the whole world .... and others who stubbornly protect the dangerous status quo that hasn't done anything for their own people but make their lives more miserable and less free: Four European Envoys Break with E.U. to Attend U.S. Embassy Celebration in Jerusalem Ambassadors from Austria, Czech Republic, Romania, and Hungary have snubbed an official E.U. diktat and chosen to attend a function in honor of Monday’s official inauguration of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Their decision to attend came after Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, supported by the Czech Republic and Romania, blocked a E.U. motion condemning President Donald Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the capital. http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/...-u-will-attend-u-s-embassy-opening-jerusalem/
Good for the Czechs, Romanians and Hungarians standing up to the big powers in the EU. My jury of one is out on the Austrians because they tend to be Germany's lapdog in the EU. That coin still gives me the creeps.
