Fusion Collusion: They All Come Tumbling Down
Lee Smith is getting sick and tired of always being right.
The question of why everyone got the same big scoop on the same day--only to find that the story was totally wrong--is a thread that leads to some very interesting places. So let's follow it. CNN claimed that an email sent to Donald Trump and his campaign officials that linked to WikiLeaks documents was dated Sept. 4, 2016--therefore showing that WikiLeaks, and by implication the Kremlin, had offered the Trump campaign an exclusive preview of damaging Democratic National Committee emails. But in fact, the email was dated Sept. 14--10 days later--and linked to a trove of documents that WikiLeaks had publicly released a day earlier, meaning the big scoop proving Trump’s Russia ties was, in fact, a story about spam. "Surely anyone who has any minimal concerns about journalistic accuracy," [Glenn] Greenwald continued, "which would presumably include all the people who have spent the last year lamenting Fake News, propaganda, Twitter bots and the like--would demand an accounting as to how a major U.S. media outlet ended up filling so many people's brains with totally false news." .... This startling unconcern goes back at least as far as that big Washington Post "exclusive" in January about Russia hacking an electrical dam in Vermont--a story that was entirely false. Since then, it's all been downhill. How many times has the media since promised the smoking gun that will finally and incontrovertibly prove that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to swing the Presidency away from Hillary Clinton? Boom! And then nothing. Poof. When you repeatedly publish "news" that isn’t true, you’re no longer in the news business. Call it what you like—infotainment, media theater, crowd-sourced onanism, a human be-in—but it’s not "news," because it isn't true.Read the whole thing. Lee Smith floats the possibility that someone investigating leaks on the House Intelligence Committee themselves put the emails into a suspected leaker's hands -- with an erroneous date -- to flush the leaker out (a scenario I read about in a Tom Clancy book, probably Red Storm Rising -- put some catnip out that a leaker can't help but leak and then you catch your leaker). I've heard that and thought about it and talked about it with people. The problem, I think, is that an agency providing these emails to Congress cannot alter the date to flush out the leaker, who I'm not saying is Adam Schiff or anything, without being himself guilty of the crime of submitting deliberately false documents to Congress. Unless there's some special legal exception for this kind of smoke-out-the-leaker operation, which I seriously doubt, because who in Congress would ever vote to approve that? Nevertheless, the whole piece is worth a read, linking the whole garbage media to FusionGPS and the real shadow government that runs everything.

Basically
it boiled down to forcing all content providers to pay the same hourly
rate for transmitting their content regardless of how much bandwidth
they used.
Look at this way, should your neighbor who uses 10,000 gal
of water a month pay the same water bill as you who only used 2,000
gal?
What the government got out of it beside bribes from big
content providers was a foot in the door for control of internet
content. The last place conservatives can get real news.

As I've been saying, there are now over 27 active leak investigations being run by what is likely a joint DOJ/DNI task force that dates back to a summer time announcement by Sessions and Coats that almost nobody paid attention to at the time.
When they made the announcement they specifically talked about Congress as a target of potential leaks.
Here is the press conference where they announced the investigation.

If "Net Neutrality" stuck around, my theory is that internet access would soon become a regulated utility. Soon to be a required utility like telephone service -possibly with it's own agency collecting more fees to provide internet access to the remotest parts of the USA (or to line pockets).

That is exactly what happened. Since the legislation could not pass Congress, Obama directed the FCC to change its categorization of ISPs to telecom instead of information services.
Changing them to be telecom companies put them under the purview of the FCC and it included "common carrier" provisions.
The decision by the FCC today reversed that.

The Conservative Treehouse points to a statement by Sessions about a new counterintelligence unit within the FBI to deal with leaks.
However, few people were paying attention four months ago when Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coates told us they were going to do exactly that:
04:30 "The FBI has created a new counterintelligence unit to manage these [leak] cases"
08:17 "these National Security breaches do not just originate from within the Intelligence Community. They come from a wide range of sources within the government, including the Congress."
https://youtu.be/Da-TtLgXU40
Two days later, Sunday August 6th, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reiterated he was going to follow through on the investigative demand of AG Sessions and DNI Coates and again referenced a "new counterintelligence division within the FBI".

Then, Steele colluded with Ohr's wife (who was employed by Fusion at the time) to get this dossier into the American political race, with the sensitive details discussed over the unmonitored Ham Radio connection she had set up. She gave the Dossier to her husband Bruce Ohr in the DOJ, and he gave it both to his superiors and to Strzok and McCabe in the FBI. (and it's likely that Comey was in on this, too) Strzok was then the pointman who took the Dossier to the FISA court, presenting it as "trusted", and using it as an avenue to open a covert investigation into everyone who was part of the Trump Campaign, the hope being that this surveillance would turn up something truly indictable.
And this covert operation, backed by Comey, McCabe, and the Obama DOJ, is now what has become the Mueller investigation.

Not at all. There's still a ton of major damage left from his illegitimate tenure - much of which will never go away. Just the SCOTASS BarkyCare decision established the anti-American nature of the feral judiciary and birthed the insane notion of being "taxed" for non-action, even when Congress stressed that the penalties were not taxes. And we have yet to see the actual cost of his (and the GOP Congress') insane spending and gargantuan debt. The piper must eventually be paid ... and that is going to be really, really ugly.
No ... sadly, Barky's legacy will endure for some time. A very long time.

October 2010. The Urainum One deal is done. This kind of deal is one to the things that this "Expert Working Group" was supposed to be concerned with in a panel facilitated by future Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Fusion GPS was founded in 2011.

How are international criminal organizations attempting to co-opt the state to suit its interests? How are states attempting to use international criminal organizations to advance their interests? How does international organized crime present itself as a national security threat to different types of countries? How do links to other malevolent actors, like terrorist or insurgent groups, manifest themselves and factor into the previous questions?
Facilitators:
Phil Williams, University of Pittsburgh
Vanda Felbab-Brown, The Brookings Institution
Bruce Ohr, U.S. Department of Justice
Penetration of Economic Sectors and Critical Infrastructures
Are international criminal organizations purchasing business ventures and penetrating financial markets? What investments are international criminal organizations making in critical infrastructures (e.g., rail, pipeline) or strategic materials (e.g., oil, metals)? Can we quantify the harm international organized crime inflicts on these economic sectors? How can we better prevent, deter or detect such interplay between underworld and upperworld?
Facilitators:

Possibly. My timeline is reality not blog time.
Pretending something this big, something that had to be brought to light from within where there are still lots of people who are committed to keeping it hidden as it has been for years and years, was going to magically all come to light when Trump was elected was silly.
Watergate, which was comparatively simple, took years to unravel. By comparison, this is happening at lightening speed.

Yes and no. Ryan described an older technique where they would do just that, shifting the locations of commas and semicolons and such. When the document was leaked, the news at the time (and I remember seeing this via Rather back in the day) would show a photograph of the hard copy of the leaked document and the placement of the punctuation would help them identify which copy was leaked.
At the party, Ryan mentioned that the news media had caught on to this technique and they had to up their game. The new technique was to insert a deliberately inflammatory statement into the summary that the news would likely quote verbatim. The slight changes in wording would identify which copy had been leaked to the press.
I met Clancy a couple times back in high school. He invited a lot of high ranking & interesting people over to his house for lunch and picked their brains for interesting facts about the military, the intelligence community, politics and the defense industry. A lot of these lunchtime conversations ended up in his books. I remember a long discussion with an Admiral about Navy drones one weekend. Fun times.

What innovation is that? Packet switching has changed little in the past 40 years, only processing speeds. The explosion in internet popularity and the services available are fairly recent developments (10-15 years) and never underestimate shareholders demands for ever increasing profits (especially when they are in a monopoly situation).

Good analogy. Why? Because there IS a place where you DO have to pay to watch TV -- Great Britain. Where to watch TV you must buy a "Television License" from the government. How did that come about? Well golly gee, they have a law that is the TV equivalent of Net Neutrality, in which the government controls all air broadcasts, just as in a socialist state.

ISP's will certainly attempt to restructure their offerings in the
absence of NN. That's a good competitive business practice. They are not
public utilities. They deserve the chance to die by the sword just like
every other business. They will certainly step on their dicks multiple

For those who forget ... many industries that were stagnated and almost killed under the guise of "government regulation for necessary utilities" only came back to life (and prices plummeted) after they were deregulated in the 80s. Barky and his junta did a good job of reversing that process and helped to make electricity prices actually rise along with making the grid brittle and bordering on unreliable.

Then, when there's a Republican president, he can outlaw and shut down all liberal sites. Everyone will become so outraged and vote him out of office. Then the next president, a Democrat, will reverse the order and outlaw and banish all conservative sites. And once again everyone will become outraged and vote him out of office.

I first ran into this sort of insane notion when I lived in Israel. There, you have a TV tax. You have to pay a tax for every TV you own - and it wasn't cheap. I had never even imagined such a thing.
That tax helped pay for the 2 channels they had, which pretty much sucked. 2 channels.
Meanwhile, people had jerry-rigged all sorts of ersatz cable systems (running wires out in the street from house to house with some guy running a "channel" by putting tapes in his VCR.
That was a little while ago and when cable finally came to Israel a lot of things changed. I don't know if they still have the TV tax.

Good analogy. Why? Because there IS a place where you DO have to pay to
watch TV -- Great Britain. Where to watch TV you must buy a "Television
License" from the government. How did that come about? Well golly gee,
they have a law that is the TV equivalent of Net Neutrality, in which
the government controls all air broadcasts, just as in a socialist
state.
THAT is what happens when the government controls something. It become more expensive and shittier.

Then, when there's a Republican president, he can outlaw and shut down all liberal sites. Everyone will become so outraged and vote him out of office. Then the next president, a Democrat, will reverse the order and outlaw and banish all conservative sites. And once again everyone will become outraged and vote him out of office. Back and forth, like a pendulum. So entertaining!

we do because the ground based access in our neighborhood, here in the middle of the big shitty, was whittled down to two (2) providers.
Rectum Cable and ATnT, who strangled our DSL connection twice over the course of a few years, to force us onto a more expensive product in their line up.
what's almost funny is that they don't actually offer that service in our area, but they said it was our only choice.
we went with Dish Internet, which is now HughesNet.

I have one choice of ISP because there is only one provider who has a line running to my apartment complex. We're not allowed to have satellite dishes so that's right out.
And I support the repeal of Net Neutrality. I'm not even remotely up to date on the tech and I wouldn't understand the tech aspects even when the puppets are used, but I am given to understand that 5G wireless is getting close to being able to be implemented broad scale and that needs towers, not cables.
(I could also not be understanding that at all so, you know, there's that.)
Also, and I may be misremembering, but doesn't Netflix use Amazon Web Services for at least some of its bandwidth thingywhatsits?

That's a rather shallow, simplistic way of approaching it. The news presents a true philosophy, it presents a system of ethical attitudes that are, in the main, true. And in order to make this compelling and create lasting impressions on our viewers, we must sometimes use details that may not have occurred in this or that instance. I like to think of it as enhanced truth.

I'm disturbed, and aroused.
I find that the idea is more interesting than the execution. Time for a mini rant.
Growing up in the 80s and sneaking bits of my father's pr0n stash from the 70s into the VCR when nobody was home, I noticed that there was this trope about "the mythical sex secrets of the Kama Sutra and Tantric Practices". Okay, I'm good with that. What little video evidence of this was available, I now know to actually have been conceived by sweaty white guys, performed by Americans of Japanese ancestry, and shot on location in Van Nuys, California. And it was fine. It was exotic.
Now with the death of Net Neutrality, I have discovered actual videos of Asians, shot in Asia, with Asian performers. The "ancient mythical sex secrets, born from the Kama Sutra and Tantric Practices" appears to be 1) not shaving your bush, 2) laying flat on your back, 3) placing both hands up near your ears, 4) turning your head to the right, 5) occasionally making a high pitched whine.
Not impressed.

Um... OK.
So you really want those Uranium One Hearings?
And details about visits to Pedo Island?
And the details of Lord Obama's Iran Cash Deal?
And the server scandal?
And the FISA warrants?
And DWS and and Awans?
And Seth Rich?
And Wikileaks?
You want all of that to come out?
Well, OK then.

I really don't think decisions such as these should be left to women.
============
I totally agree.
I helped out the wife. Did some "research" and by changing bras she can go from cute to super cute to WOW.
She didn't appreciate that was possible. She had to try a lot of different ones which she didn't have the patience to do on her own. I, on the other hand, had a remarkable amount of patience with that project.
its a ying yang thing I guess.

you might want to check the relevant Federal law on that, because, IIRC, it is illegal to prohibit satellite dishes in apartments and condos... i know HOA's are forbidden to do so.

Asians, shot in Asia, with Asian performers. The "ancient mythical sex
secrets, born from the Kama Sutra and Tantric Practices" appears to be
1) not shaving your bush, 2) laying flat on your back, 3) placing both
hands up near your ears, 4) turning your head to the right, 5)
occasionally making a high pitched whine.

I attended a talk by the CTO of Netflix just before Hurricane Sandy hit. At the time, Netflix uses AWS for the recommendation engine, billing, network health detection and a few other tasks. At any one time, 2/3 of their AWS footprint is running the recommendation engine and the other 1/3 is used for development. Each night, they turn that over to just 1/3 to the RE and the developers get to test their latest code on the massive amounts of data they collect.
The streaming servers themselves are co-located at the ISP.

And if you truly are remote enough to have no
ISP or no "ISP competition" (e.g., high priced, high speed, or only low
speed), then THAT is also your choice.
Posted by: flounder, rebel, vulgarian, deplorable, winner at December 14, 2017 02:30 PM (Dp6qK)
There is no place in the continental US where there is no ISP availability. There is always a choice of satellite channels even if you are in a remote cabin with your own generators and no external wired electricity or phones.

Prices kept going up on my ISP, no new competitors showed up to offer me alternate deals, I didn't get less throttling from Comcast, they didn't give me the real download speeds that they promised.
All net neutrality did was put he camel's nose under the door to control the internet more and more.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 14, 2017 02:46 PM (39g3+)
Right, there are always alternatives, even if they really suck. I could get internet over the phone lines here, its just crappy. I could get satellite, its just expensive and unreliable. There are options.
I'd just like to see more direct competition, so I can get high speed cable internet from someone other than Comcast, or at least the option to consider it.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 14, 2017 02:49 PM (39g3+)
I gotta Comcast wire in my garage and a fancy Verizon box. I can switch over between them in less than a day. If there was a third option I might consider that, though wireless looks like it wants into the game. Could be something pretty quickly.
Yeah, I think the government should decide for me.

Remember, this whole hail mary Russia thing was really brought to the forefront by Hillary's team the morning after the election according to the book "Shattered" (I think that was the name).
The "insurance policy" texted previously between Sztork his lover, was not so much an insurance policy to defeat Trump - i.e., Hillary win - though it partially was. It was an insurance policy to make sure Trump wasn't elected to uncover this stuff. I.e., the term insurance policy refers them them and not Hillary. They always believed that Hillary would win. But couldn't take any chances. These folks are bureaucrats. There there no matter who wins and if you've been working your whole life for the "state" why would you risk it all for Hillary? Lean back for 8 years at worst, let a new D come in and you're back in style.
There is a proverbial "deep throat" available. They just need to be found and flipped.

That's what I remember it being from too: the Canary Trap. Each classified document copy is numbered, the person with access signs it out, with that number recorded, and must sign it back in at the end of the day. The report has an abstract with well-written punchy soundbytes, whose adjectives are randomly generated, unique to each numbered report. The catnip was for any press given access, who wouldn't be able to resist cribbing directly, and the unique text thus published revealed which numbered copy--thus which supposedly securely cleared person with sanctioned access--had leaked.
