60 Minutes Disgraces Itself With BS Report on “Russian” Hacking of US Election Infrastructure

Originally published Apr 8, 2018

Here’s their BS:

And here’s the truth, from a true investigative reporter, Gareth Porter:

Gosh, what a surprise that 60 Minutes didn’t bother to cite the congressional testimony of Assistant DHS Secretary Ozment that the hackers were only cybercriminals stealing saleable personal info.

And what a surprise that the 60 Minutes report begins with the overt lie that “The U.S. intelligence community has concluded there is no doubt the Russians meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, leaking stolen e-mails and inflaming tensions on social media.” In fact, 2 dozen or so intelligence whores hand-picked by the Russophobic psychotics Brennan and Clapper had “assessed” (spyspeak for “guessed”) that the Russian govt was responsible for the WikiLeaks releases.

And, gosh, how is it is that 60 Minutes has never commented on the actual voter base hacking that influenced our election — the hacking of the Arizona voter roles that selectively changed the registrations of Bernie supporters so that they weren’t allowed to vote.

And check out this choice passage from the CBS report:

“Sandvoss says he suspected the hackers wanted to sow doubt about the integrity of the vote.”

So by stealing personal info on thousands of voters, without changing the data at all, the hackers were attempting to “sow doubt about the integrity of the vote”. Can anyone with an IQ above room temperature believe this?

This reminds me a great deal of the 60 Minutes episode about 15 years ago in which Dan Rather and the Palestinian turncoat Fuad Adjami watched Rather’s interview of Saddam and laughed their asses off about Saddam’s absurd denial that Iraq still had WMDs. All I could do at the time was scream impotently at my TV screen.

And congratulations to Kamala Harris for further burnishing her credentials as an ambitious hack lacking any intellectual integrity or moral compass whatever. (As to the Republican whats-his-name — well, what the hell do you expect from a goddamned Republican?! Bashing the Russkies has been their stock-in-trade from time immemorial. What is unbearably despicable is that so-called Democrats are now trying to steal their thunder.)

This profoundly saddens me because, by and large, I have truly respected and enjoyed 60 Minutes over the years.

Maybe about 5-7 weeks after Trump won, and after Obama declared the election results legit (people seemed to have forgotten that) deep state propagandists started up a meme that the Russians got into the actual election machinery changing the results. Of course no such thing happened, but I believe that the majority of democrats do believe the results were changed.

But over time the deep state propagandists dropped this accusation and instead shifted to the Russians creating strife and division. But looks like a new attempt to revive it. I fully expect once again shills in academy to once again with phony schemes how the hacking was done, etc.

I suspect the Russians are sowing division narrative has lost its appeal and so the propagandists are trying to revive the hacking theme as that is much more concrete and specific. My concern is that deep state actors may try to pull off a false flag where people get seriously hurt.
