Kremlin Responds to Washpo Russian Hacking Charge: ‘This is Amusing Rubbish’

If, in fact, it bears truth that the diabolical, all powerful, Vlad Putin was responsible for redpilling the American people via Podesta’s email box, then I’ll report on it. But, thus far, zero American intelligence agencies have made that claim. The only proof that Russia was the source that leaked to Wikileaks is some shrill writers at the Washington Post.

The Kremlin responded to the absurd claim leveled by a Washpo blogger, writing for NBC last night, who said Putin was personally involved in the hacking, calling it ‘amusing rubbish.’

Source: Bloomberg

“This is amusing rubbish that has no basis in fact,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday on a conference call with reporters, while accompanying the Russian president on a trip to Japan. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also told reporters in Japan that he was “stunned” by the NBC News report, which cited two unidentified U.S. officials with direct access to the information.

“I think it’s clear that it’s stupid and absolutely pointless to try to convince anyone of this,” Lavrov said of the allegation, which NBC said came from diplomatic sources and spies working for U.S. allies.

What’s amazing to me are the amount of people who accept being lied to in such an incredulous, sophomoric, manner and never call bullshit on it. The state run media outlets are brazenly making stuff up and then calling out those who tell that truth as ‘fake news.’

      The CIA does not work for the American people but for the elite and shadow government. These are the evillest people on Earth and only deserve to be hanged high and short for crimes committed against humanity.

          Get with the program, riotact. Everyone now totally trusts the Kremlin, and disbelieves everything the U.S. government says. Until Trump takes office, at which time people will trust both the Kremlin and the U.S. government– because they will be saying exactly the same things then.

          Welcome to the “new normal.”

        “The CIA does not work for the American people but for the elite and shadow government. These are the evillest people on Earth”

        Or so the fake news told you, huh, John Galt?

        John Galt, a character from the Capitalist Manifesto, also known as Atlas Shrugged– the most boring attempt at literature of all time, and equally as rigid in ideology as Communism.

        Rand grew up in the USSR, and she just took Communist propaganda methods, and applied them to capitalism– and threw in some sex and some delusions of grandeur for her characters, to hook in the physical and emotional adolescents who are the readers of her books. The book contains the longest dullest speeches ever to be put into a work of supposed fiction.

        On the positive side, as an early work of American capitalist propaganda, it prepared people like John Galt to fit in well into today’s post-truth world.

      Probucks, I might ask you the same about buying in, and consuming fake news unwittingly. What makes you so sure that Fox, Breitbart, and all your other your fake news conspiracy theory web sites are true? And that the government is always lying–except when it is run by a Republican who lied more than 70% of the time in his comments that were checked by politifact.com, setting a record for a major party presidential candidate in lying.

      And you are calling other people unwitting?

      You get the irony prize of the day.

    Will the government start publishing fake news manufacturing stats? I believe they make up a significant portion of the economy.

      You mean Trump’s government, after Jan 21st? Well, 71% of Trump’s statements that were checked by politifact.com turned out to be false, so that my be an indication.
