It could be a ddos attack, or government meddling, or Natasha in IT spilling coffee on their servers, but the good folks at Sputnik News Agency are under attack.  Their website is currently down.

UPDATE II: The site is back up and running on all platforms.  No word on what caused the outage.

UPDATE: the loading errors continue when attempting to access sputniknews.com via mobile device, but the desktop site is now working.

The Sputnik servers went down Monday just hours after the U.K. froze all bank accounts associated with rt.com.

Mother Russia and their brand of propaganda are under attack in the western world.

As a western citizen, you are only to consume your news from domestic agencies who can properly filter and censor what you see.

Carry on.

The operative word here is start.

Obama and his neocon foreign policy advisers are going to meet tomorrow to discuss whether or not they should begin targeting Syrian forces. They will promote this as a cause to end the carnage in Aleppo, which we started and caused by permitting weapons to be moved from Libya to Syria — not to mention the power vacuum caused by a premature exit from Iraq.

Unlike Russia, we’re technically and fundamentally invaders in Syria. Demonizing Assad is pointless, when in fact the alternative is far worse.

Some top officials argue the United States must act more forcefully in Syria or risk losing what influence it still has over moderate rebels and its Arab, Kurdish and Turkish allies in the fight against Islamic State, the officials told Reuters.

One set of options includes direct U.S. military action such as air strikes on Syrian military bases, munitions depots or radar and anti-aircraft bases, said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

This official said one danger of such action is that Russian and Syrian forces are often co-mingled, raising the possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia that Obama has been at pains to avoid. U.S. officials said they consider it unlikely that Obama will order U.S. air strikes on Syrian government targets, and they stressed that he may not make any decisions at the planned meeting of his National Security Council.

One alternative, U.S. officials said, is allowing allies to provide U.S.-vetted rebels with more sophisticated weapons, although not shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, which Washington fears could be used against Western airliners.

Sure, this makes plenty of sense. Give these fuckers sophisticated weaponry so that they could wreak havoc with it and install Islamic theocracies. How is this not evident to the pseudo journalists in the media? The rebels are terrorists, plain and simple, allied with Al-nusra aka Al Qaeda.

But Russia hacked John Podesta’s idiotic email box, so that means it’s okay to endanger 7 billion people, including 350m Americans.

Look at this doozie of a leaked email; Qatar giving old Slick Willy a MILLION DOLLARS for his birthday:

You may be asking yourself, “Who is ‘WJC’?”  Well, according to Bloomberg, it’s Bill Clinton’s little pass-through corporation.  For tax purposes, ya feel?

We could all use some friends like Qatar, ammirite?

PAY TO PLAY POLITICS

Carry on mates, carry on

Citizen investigators are combing through over 9000 of John Podesta’s emails.  WikiLeaks is releasing the content in a slow drip campaign to combat against the countermeasures being used by our Orwellian leadership to deflect the general population’s attention away from the hair-raising dealings of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

One email exchange is particularly unnerving–it mentions ‘wet works’ which is a Russian euphemism for murder or assassination, alluding to spilling blood.  The email happened on February 9th, just three days before Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia died in his sleep.

The conversation is between Podesta and Steve Elmendorf.  Elmendorf runs Subject Matter, “a go-to Democratic lobbying firm for corporate interests, raking more than $10 million in fees last year.” Its clients include Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Verizon, and Monsanto.

Scalia died in his sleep at age 79 on the night of February 12 or the morning of February 13, 2016, following an afternoon of quail hunting and dining at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in Shafter, Texas.  Scalia was pronounced dead of apparent natural causes.  His physician, Rear Admiral Brian P. Monahan, said that Scalia had a history of heart trouble, including high blood pressure, and had recently been deemed too weak to undergo surgery for a torn rotator cuff.

A citizen investigator on Reddit translated the emails into layman terms:

The timing of this exchange and Justice Scalia’s death has people attempting to connect the dots and assuage guilt onto Podesta and his cronies.  It’s flimsy, but eerie nonetheless.  Also, the irony of Podesta using a KGB term for assassination, ‘wet work’, is so tasty.

RIP SCALIA, RIP HARAMBE

On Wednesday, the twitter account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta was hacked, undoubtedly by the Russians, Russians who seek to manipulate the USA election because Donald is Putin’s little baby and he loves him.

The Russian version of Podesta fired off the following tweet:

Twitter took the tweet down and restored access to the 82k follower account back to it’s rightful owner–a Mr. John Jacob Podesta–who is championing a Cold War 2.0 movement since Russia is exposing his unscrupulous political dealings.

Remember, nobody can ‘prove’ the Russians are behind the twitter hack, but we all know it’s true because Donald is Putin’s prized little baby boy.

Leaked emails show John Harwood fulfilling his journalistic fantasy by sweet talking his way into the grace of Hillary Clinton.

Harwood is a long-time liberal.  His Democratic bias was explored by the Federalist one year ago when CNBC chose the 59 year old anchor to moderate a Republican primary debate.

In the latest batch of leaked emails [courtesy of WikiLeaks] CNBC’s ambitious, second-generation journalist kept a running email relationship with the Clinton campaign—specifically John Podesta—who heads the Democratic campaign.

First Harwood made sure Podesta saw the good job he did on Twitter, defending Hillary.  The email subject is ‘FYI’ and he copy/pasted his tweet and sent it to old man Podesta since he probably doesn’t know how to use The Twitter:

Here is the original tweet:

set aside process – if there's any specific/plausible suggestion of nefarious email @HillaryClinton was trying to hide, I haven't heard it.

— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) July 24, 2015

Back when Hillary’s other email scandal was going on, her Communications Director went off on The New York Times in a long blog post, written like a letter, over on HillaryClinton.com.  The blog post moved Mr. Harwood, he had to tell the writer, Jennifer Palmieri, great job!

Sometimes Harwood just needed to acknowledge all of Hillary’s improvement, so he would email Podesta:

When Bernie Sanders started kicking Hillary’s ass, John and John emailed each other to make sure everything was okay and comfort one another.

Harwood puts in legwork next, inviting Podesta to do lunch in the city.  Talk shop, etc:

Finally Harwood goes for the kill.  He wants his interview with Hillary.  He knows it will get good ratings and make him look connected and special.  Harwood ensures the campaign that his version of talking economy will be just the way she wants it.

It becomes difficult to doubt whether CNBC worked closely with Hillary Clinton.  The ‘Podesta Emails’ allow everyone to see the media bias in place, clear as day.  We criticize the state-run news put out by so many other countries while we run our own deceptive form of propaganda.  What compels mainstream media, multi-national corporations, and billionaires to do everything in their power to ensure a Clinton victory in November?  Usually an exploration of the money trail leads to answers.

The reality is, most don’t care to look into the facts of a corrupt state.  Instead it is left up to journalists to investigate and present in a manner that rattles the general population out of their numb, compliant state.

It is unlikely the Podesta emails will do pervert Trump a favor come voting time.  Still, one must bear witness to the underlying actions of ‘objective’ news sources like CNBC are wonder why they so desperately want to keep the status quo in charge.

John Harwood has been fully exposed closely working with the Clinton camp while reporting for CNBC.  Henceforth any communications from him deserve to be scrutinized for underlying agenda and not taken seriously.

Leaked email shows that the Clinton Foundation was in contact with comedian John Oliver

The email in question was located by the group known as DC Leaks and suggests the Clintons are in cahoots with the British television host:

The email is sent to Capricia Marshall, who worked under Hillary Clinton at the State Department.

John Oliver is the lead news anchor for HBO’s hit show Last Week Tonight.  The comedians popularity went global when he revealed that the Trump family changed their last name from “Drumpf” to a word that means the strongest playing card in euchre.

Infowars has the gritty details:

The email was sent on February 19, 2015 by Greg Propper, an advisor to The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Its recipients included Sarah Henning, Director of Programs at the Clinton Foundation, and Capricia Marshal, who served as served as chief of protocol from 2009 to 2013 under Secretary Clinton at the State Department.

The email, which was sent to Henning’s ‘clintonfoundation.com’ address, is entitled, “We’ve made contact with John Oliver” and the body of the email reads, “And his team is working on it. Hope to have an answer tomorrow.”

It begs the question, are the staffers contracting the world’s best comedians to develop content for the debates?  Several polls agree madam Clinton won the first debate.

Her most effective weapon during the debate were zingers with comedic value.  There was speculation Hillary would signal debate moderator Lester Holt when she was ready to deliver one of her hot lines.

Running for president has become the ultimate bout of wit and social media popularity, and comedy is often interpreted as meaning someone is trustworthy.  It makes sense for a candidate to enlist the world’s best comedy writers, especially if your entire platform is built on a drone-like regurgitation of lines.

The leaked email shows John Oliver has made contact with the Clinton Foundation since February 2015.  Whether the comedic team behind Last Week Tonight is actively writing content for Hillary to deliver during the debates is only speculation.

But look for more wit, winks, and cues from Hillary this Sunday when she teams up with Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz to take on the Donald.

On Tuesday afternoon, Romanian hacker Guccifer 2.0 claimed to have successfully hacked inside into the Clinton Foundation database.

One of the most damning revelations thus far comes from a snapshot allegedly taken of the root directory which shows a folder titled “Pay to Play” a term often used to described the crony-type behavior of the State Department under the Hillary Clinton regime.

The audacity of the folder’s name is leading some to question the legitimacy of the hack.  Others are befuddled at the lack of fucks given at the Clinton Foundation, if in fact they were this blatant when naming their files.

There is much to comb through from this latest hack/leak of documents. The timing of this hack is interesting.  Early this morning WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange lead many to believe he would deliver the “October Surprise” which would be information damning enough to cause Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race.

The Guccifer 2.0 will be scrutinized by an army of eager investigators.  Expect more information to come.

According to the hacker’s website, he was able to gain entry into the Clinton Foundation server and download “hundreds of thousands of docs and donors’ databases,” while inside.

Despite vehemently denying any association with Russia, mainstream media has done well to paint Guccifer 2.0 and others of his ilk as Russians.

The truth of it, as best we know, is these hackers are truth-seekers who go out of their way to provide transparency on important global matters.

Picking the USA President is viewed by many as important.  Terms like ‘leader of the free world’ and ‘holding the keys to the nukes’ are often used, despite the post becoming more ceremonial than anything.

Nevertheless, hackers are hard at work uncovering the special interests behind Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  Donor lists show big banks and corporations agreed to donate a certain percentage of the allocated TARP funds to the Democrats.

It is unlikely these docuemnts will sway the vote of most.  However, the good work of hackers like Guccifer 2.0 continues to raise curiousity about the financial interestes of the Democratic party, Wall Street’s party, the large global corporation’s party.

Carry on…
