It's true. It's the Macedonians.

Up to 18 or so reasons why Shillary lost by her own words.

There is this though:

Who told them? Who were they coordinating with, or colluding with? Because the Russians historically in the last couple of decades and then increasingly, you know, are launching cyber attacks, and they are stealing vasts amounts of information, and a lot of the information they’ve stolen they’ve used for internal purposes, to affect markets, to affect the intelligence services, etc. So this is different because they went public, and they were conveying this weaponized information and the content of it, and they were running ... You know, there’s all these stories of guys over in Macedonia who are running these fake news sites and I’ve seen them now and you sit there and it looks like a sort of low-level CNN operation ...

https://www.recode.net/2017/5/31/15722218/hillary-clinton-code-conferenc...

Weaponized Information.

How cool is that?

What the hell have we ever done to f'g Macedonia?

You did notice that while the complaining about hacks and phishing no democrat has ever denied that the content of those correspondence was not true. Yeah, the DNC f'd Bernie. Yes, DWS slaved at the feet of HRC. Yes, Podesta rigged the media to the point that they checked their stories with him before they were published. Crap. All of it. Yet Russia. Do not pay attention that Russian and others were invited to the DNC Convention and given the Red Carpet treatment.... Move along. Nothing to see here.

All those in WI, PA, MI, were keyed in to Macedonia, which of course is why she lost.

Sheesh.

Funny how the wording more than a little implies that CNN is a high-level, professional fake-news operation, not low-level amateurs like those Macedonian guys.

Or is she paying them for “prime-time whine time” now? So confusing.

She was asked by Mossberg why she took money from Goldman Sachs, and hit back by asking why the bank was at the Recode conference.

“They pay us,” the host said.

“They paid me,” Clinton replied.

I just can't handle the sheer amount of crap that these people think we will believe.

Wait. I can't handle it but the PTB know full well that there decades long mission to completely fool the American people has worked. So the crap will just keep on coming; because the people will just keep on believin'.

Okay folks, we can forget it. The internet will soon be full of fast and slow lanes and all of us trying to wake people up will be relegated to those new slow lanes.

@Dark UltraValia It's worked on 37% of the population. According to numbers put out by Pew, an establishment institution, so if anything, it would be skewed up.

It's usually about 1/3 of the American population that's willing to buy total shit. Maybe a little higher; some of the Repubs who don't believe the Russia shit are not disbelieving because they are being rational, but because they are being loyal to a Republican administration. But probably less than 45% of the country buys the shit. The numbers keep breaking down in similar ways; for instance, 58% of the country despised Donald Trump on Election Day, and 60% of the country despised Hillary. You can generally rely (these days) on around 55-60% of the public being rational. It's not like after 9/11, nor even during the Reagan years, when those numbers were much worse.

Which, given that this is saturation-level propaganda, hammering on all levels, only lacking a Kim Jong il-style loudspeaker blaring it at all hours, kinda says something.

As for slow lanes, we need to have backup, or at least additional, systems of communication. We've known this was coming for years.

@WaterLily @WaterLily That's kind of the point Henry Wallace has been making about the "Russia hack" all along. The crime here is hard to define--or perhaps, mainstream definitions of it are skewed. There was a technical crime, in that someone hacked into someone else's private information. But that invasion of privacy--or theft, if you like--has been presented, repeatedly, as the crime of election-rigging, which it is not--unless revealing accurate information about candidates to the public is now going to be considered election-rigging.

It was a diatribe. How low can She go? Now it's not only Russia that did Her in, it was also because the DNC did "nothing" to help Her get elected. Will this eventually end up in a cat fight between Her and DWS? If so, I'm buying tickets for the wet seats.

What a blatant liar - "17 agencies gave high confidence" the Russians worked against her. The truth is that only 4 agencies were involved of which 3 gave "high confidence". The fourth, the NSA, gave "moderate confidence" and this is the very agency which would have had the 'smoking gun'.

To date there has been no definitive proof the Russians were involved in the US elections. This also comes from the people who have been given special briefings of info that was "too secret" to give out in public.

@Azazello is, to me, a prime example, both visually and verbally, of everything that is wrong with this country in so many ways. The scenery behind her, the fake eyelashes, the absolute look of entitlement, sickening. I don't know if she's from Cally or wherever, but she reminds me of why I hated growing up in Orange County, CA in so many ways. "They want the money" not even bright enough to acknowledge that both India and China are newer to the pollution than the good old USA. And jobs, as the excuse. How cynical does one have to be? End rant.

Not sure why Macedonia is always mentioned by the democrats as the center of the Russian fake news center as that was debunked. It was bunches of younger people including teenagers working the internet to get clicks and income. The city where the fake stories was coming out has been doing crap like this for a sometime, and saw some opportunities during the American elections.

I don't have the link, but I remember one article said the teenagers found that faking out Bernie Sander sites didn't do that well, as nobody was clicking on Bernie fake stories. I guess his supporters knew bullshit when they saw it.

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/the-surge-of-pro-trump-fake-...

Before this election, people in Veles were already making money through making Facebook content that would be be popular with Americans. Under the Facebook business model, publishers get a tiny proportion of the tiny amount of money that an advertiser pays for each click. Advertisers pay more per click in America than they do in Europe, because the average revenue per user is much higher (about $12.43 per user to $3.98).

The city getting rich from fake news

Many of the fake news websites that sprang up during the US election campaign have been traced to a small city in Macedonia, where teenagers are pumping out sensationalist stories to earn cash from advertising.

@MrWebster in Wired magazine where one of the teenage Macedonian masterminds said Bernie supporters didn't bite at the fake news.

(For a week in July, he experimented with fake news extolling Bernie Sanders. “Bernie Sanders supporters are among the smartest people I’ve seen,” he says. “They don’t believe anything. The post must have proof for them to believe it.”)

INSIDE THE MACEDONIAN FAKE-NEWS COMPLEX

This is a very good article, especially for people like me who have been blocking out this story and don't know the background of this Macedonia hysteria. And even more so for those who actually believe these kids were an organized effort to affect the election, or that they actually tipped the election. Ridiculous.

The so-called news he and his colleagues were filching was already on American websites, heating up the American bloodstream. How could their duplications of these articles, on their rinky-dink websites, upset the election of such a powerful country? “If Americans wanted Hillary Clinton to win, Hillary Clinton would have won. They voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump won.”

Honestly, I didn't think my opinion of Hillary Clinton could get any worse, but I was wrong. Every time she emerges now to spew more bullshit excuses and blame and ridiculous lies, I find that my disgust and hatred of her are not yet at full capacity. Much as I despise Trump, which is a lot, I'm still glad she lost.
