I totally agree with you. I feel the same about Dotcom. It all could be a hoax designed to jerk us around. But the CIA is so bogus, so legendarily consistent in jerking us around, and SO much rides on this, seriously, nuclear war and a trillion dollars in private contracting to modernize our nukes, that the Russia thing has dollars and death written all over it. People like me are going to stay tuned and look at what surfaces and think about it. It's an irresistible force.

Think of it as a survival instinct. Think of it as parent mammals and birds fighting to protect their young and the future of their species. This is important to us. Your skepticism is part of that strength, not to be fooled AGAIN. I respect what you're saying. But this response says it better than I can:

… I am in no position to solve either the DNC lawsuit or the Seth Rich homicide, but it doesn’t take a lawyer or a forensic scientist to sense when the media is trying to cover something up or outright ignore it. The same outlets which publish false stories themselves and then fail to apologize for doing so are waging a war on alternative media by labeling it as “fake news” and calling everyone who doesn’t follow their narrative a “right wing conspirator” who is akin to Alex Jones. This is simply not true as there have been countless individuals on both the left and the right who are demanding answers to these questions and actual investigations rather than just establishment cover-ups. This isn’t about partisanship or political gain, this is about taking down the deep state and attempting to restore a sense of democracy in a country that has devolved into a full-blown corporate oligarchy. Critical thinking is an enemy of those who peddle propaganda, and by continuing to attack the establishment narrative on Russia, the DNC lawsuit, and Seth Rich, we are putting their very grip on power at risk; it is time to give it all we’ve got.

who displays medical knowledge and uses medical shorthand is credible?

I find Anonymous to be credible because of the display of medical knowledge and use of medical shorthand terminology.

There are hundreds of thousands who fall under this criteria. I'm very sure that not all of them are credible.

@Pricknick

Got to agree with you - they could merely have cribbed, or even picked it up from soap operas, lol.

But the official reaction to this whole affair, the attempt to quash discussion of it, indicates that there is something they'd rather not have people looking at and discussing - meaning that we'd better. What they've been caught trying to hide/misrepresent so far amounts to a global corporate hostile take-over and so far, they've been able to get away with murder 'collateral damage' because they never see consequences over anything they do, no matter how cruel and unjust or how many lives are lost.

Enough should have been enough a very, very long time ago. They've long since put us under the microscope to spy upon every moment and aspect of our lives - now the worms are peering back at them. What can be done to some, can be done to all - and money isn't the only thing that can 'torrent up'.

He was, after all, a leading expert on voter behavior. That data would hit him like a heat-seeking missile. Considering his job, there was nothing he could do about it. One can only wonder, which campaign was he working for when he first noticed?

if even a few of these things are verifiably true.

Naturally, he would see if there were abrupt flips in designated party affiliation in particular counties.

Hi Mark. I said that Seth was active in the Bernie campaign right up until the end. Not the girlfriend.

There's not too much on her, but when she is quoted, she is a lot more anti-authoritian than the parents. She's somewhat radical. She and Seth were speaking on the cell when he was killed. He was conscious and talking at the hospital, I've read. It doesn't mean he won't die, but he wasn't dead yet. I saw the physician's supposed statement, but I am wary of it and do not factor that in.

I started checking the dates when I ran into Seth Rich's commentary at Reddit (which stopped abruptly after the shooting). I saw a symbol that indicated some of his comments had been very recently edited. Not all of them, but some. I started checking elsewhere in ways I know. If I had access to server logs it would be a snap, but I don't. Interestingly, the first time I ever noticed newspapers changing before my eyes was connected to the Benghazi affair, and connected to the very beginnings of the of reporting on Hillary's server investigation, before the FBI got involved. Since then, I realized that the digital mainstream is constantly fluid and transforming. History is in constant rewrite.

So, what I did was look at smaller news sites that picked up the story. They are reporters of the event who used phrases from the majors in concocting their stories. I wanted to see the right dates on the headers, because I am looking for a cached copy of what was on their servers when it was first published. Then, I check the source code to see if the date is automatically generated from a script, or typed in. Not a bit of this is fool proof and it's very inefficient, but I only took a quick look. I did not investigate this in a serious way. My little facts were gathered on the fly. I am a mild skeptic when it comes to locking-in a connection between Seth's murder and him being the "disgruntled insider" who passed emails to Wikileaks. Personally, I lean toward Guccifer2 because I saw that come down in real time. I also saw British newspapers erase major parts of that story over the course of a year. (US papers did not have to erase anything because they don't publish such news in the first place. That was when the handwritten Blumenthal letter was released.)

I'm still deciding if it's worth the potential tsuris to publish links. That info is out there and pretty innocent. It just happens to be inconvenient.

he was murdered. And good point (and reminder) that some of thee may have been re-redited (what a fucked-up, truly Orwellian world we do live in now). On that account, how does one even tell they've been re-edited (I don't doubt that they are, and especially when there's a cover-up involved, which it seems pretty clear this is)?

Myself, I've been thinking about his girlfriend and family quite a bit in this. You say she worked for the Bernie campaign and seemed more Left than most. Would you link some of those stories? Has she made any statements about the murder? Certainly she would have went to the hospital right away to see him. Christine.MI's comment above, included an alleged report from a surgeon who worked on him who anonymously said that he was stable and didn't have fatal wounds. He also said, eight hours later law enforcement came in and shut down his room to everyone but the attending physicians and a couple of nurses, with no visiting hours. No code alert or call for cardio resuscitation team at time of his death.

Also, a very important nugget here, to me: he was going to testify in a case against Edison Media Research? Weren't they the exclusive monopoly company who did all of the exit polling during 2016, and were told by the DNC to stop doing so (I think before the CA primary)? Of all the evidence that the DNC cheated, the exit polling seems to be perhaps the biggest verifier. There are reams of testimony and reports of folks who are statisticians/mathematicians who claim there was blatant fraud in the results that contradict the exit polls. Some of that I included in an essay about this.

As you say and we now know, Seth Rich was an instrumental computer programmer/voter specialist who was highly regarded by the DNC (even Debbie Wasserman Shultz made a statement on his death, though that too could be part of an attempt to minimize the potential damage. Everything that DNC insiders cabal does is suspect to me).

Seems the more one pries the fishier it gets. Everything is pointing to a cover up.

@lotlizard

I answered some of this in a comment right below/above:

And good point (and reminder) that some of thee may have been re-redited (what a fucked-up, truly Orwellian world we do live in now). On that account, how does one even tell...?

But even stories that are revised can tell you what they said. Here's a tip: If the site has an engaged community of commenters, you'll learn a lot. I always read all the comments carefully. They can take you places you might never never find on your own.
