FBI discovers that Russian hackers are behind every bad thing that has ever happened

Post by Laurence Drake »

US intelligence officials believe Russian hackers planted a false news story that prompted Saudi Arabia and several allies to sever relations with Qatar, according to CNN.

FBI experts visited Qatar in late May to analyse an alleged cyber breach that saw the hackers place the fake story with Qatarā€™s state news agency, the US broadcaster said.

Saudi Arabia then cited the false report as part of its reason for instituting a diplomatic and economic blockade of Qatar, the report said. The blockade was joined by several other Gulf states and has spiralled into the worst diplomatic crisis for the region in decades.

It's a football rivalry, Russia just wants to host the best Mundial ever and is afraid Qatar can dethrone them 4 years later! :maniac:

By 2022 they'll have collected enough bones from the bodies of dead labourers to build the stadiums out of them.

@Jam
How social media can bring down the idiot rich criminals so easily. I see the media is really trying to make a link of hackers to Russia. Is there any evidence these crimes were sanctioned by the Russian government?

"Russian Hackers" wasn't even a thing until Trump won the election. Does anyone really think Russia is really trying to influence elections? If so how would it benefit them? Leaders change but the core polices never change.

"Russian Hackers" has been a "thing" since the very beginning. Russia has hackers, China has hackers, USA has hackers. Everyone has hackers vying for power, influence, intelligence etc. Russia DID influence the US election. Russia HAS compromised our electoral process. Leaders have profound impact on every fucking aspect of how a country is run. Core policies do change. I can't take you seriously at all.

I didn't mean to say it didn't exist at all. What I meant to say is that wasn't such a controversy and talked about in the media every single day since Trump won the election. It appears that the democrats and Hillary are all pointing fingers and blaming everyone else but themselves for the loss. There is a reason hillary lost and it wasn't because of the Russian hacker... how can you take that seriously?

I disagree that presidents have that much influence. Remember when Obama promised to shut down Guantanamo Bay? It never happened during his 8 years and that's one of his initial promises to give people a fair trial on US soil.

The (former) head of one of the world's greatest intelligence agencies seems to think so.

Just don't take what the media says at face value even if it's convenient for your political agenda. How about giving the other side of the coin a chance?

Levin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie-Mellon University, found that the U.S. attempted to influence the elections of foreign countries as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000.

Ex FBI director Comey also said in his statement, that it did not manipulate any votes, - How does this come even anynear close to USA meddling all over the world.????
Im stunned by the double morality of USA.

Btw, there are lots and lots of sources on this - just go for a quick search online. Its no secret I guess, except for the USA ppl

I'm not surprised that everyone everywhere is trying to influence elections. I merely said that there is evidence Russia attempted to do so in 2016. I was replying to the one bit of wolfAOE's post and really didn't say or imply anything else.

What is really scary with this hacking story, is that its almost all corporate media are covering in USA right now. Meanwhile Trump administrations are fast tracking disastrous health care deal. There are literary no media cover on the budget they are trying to push trough, giving astronomical tax breaks to the wealthy, on the backs of poor ppl.
This is the real scandal here, if you ask me!

Big media is pretty toxic. You gotta ignore the propaganda and manipulation tactics and focus on the issues. You may become nauseous when Russian Hackers is mentioned in the news, because it brings with it connotations of Rep VS Dem, and all the bullshit arguments the media has been spilling. Ignore the clickbait and BS vitriol the media is spewing and focus on the issue. The US Intelligence Committee has unanimously agreed that Russia DID in fact interfere with the election. Russia hacking has ALWAYS been a thing, but in recent years they have significantly stepped up their game to undermine our democracy, and quite frankly, force us into the position we are currently in. This is not Rep vs Dem BS. This is fact. This happened. If you can't trust our entire IC, give up now and tune out from all politics until the revolution because otherwise we are all fucked from here.

Hillary lost for many reasons. Dumbing it down is pointless. I'm certainly not arguing that Hillary lost because of Russia. Maybe that's an argument being made by the media you're following. Doesn't change the fact that Russia played a part.

Presidents are the most influential people in US. Really not worth arguing. It's fact. Their power isn't absolute, but they have the most clout. Just because they aren't able to always get their way, doesn't change that.
