    Default US ramps up cyberattacks on RUSSIAN GRID--Trump NOT informed--he's not TRUSTED...

    FIRST OFF, outstanding. Maybe we do have members of DEEP STATE with common sense (you know, real patriots) that will pull a plug or put in a plug as necessary and will act!! I'll do what TRUMP and MC CONNELL won't do. Now depending on the detail, cyber-command apparently has the AUTHORITY to conduct these attacks on their own. Maybe TRUMP nor MC CONNELL read their own bill. (Read the last 2 paragraphs)

    This is the best thing I've read in weeks!



    New York Times: US ramping up cyber attacks on Russia


    By Kate Sullivan, CNN
    Updated 11:26 AM ET, Sun June 16, 2019

    NYT: Officials wary of telling Trump about Russia strategy



    Washington (CNN)The US is escalating cyber attacks on Russia's electric power grid and has placed potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system, The New York Times reportedSaturday.

    The placement of the malware that deep within the Russian grid had never previously been attempted, the Times reports, and is intended partly as a warning and also to put the US in a position to conduct cyber attacks should a significant conflict arise with Russia.

    Two administration officials told the Times they believed President Donald Trump had not been briefed in any detail about the US computer code being implanted inside the Russian grid.

    Pentagon and intelligence officials describe to the Times "broad hesitation" to tell Trump about the
    details of the operations against Russia. They tell the Times there was concern over how Trump would react,
    and the possibility that Trump might reverse the operations or discuss it with foreign officials.



    Trump said in a string of tweets Saturday evening that the Times report was "NOT TRUE," calling the Times' reporting "a virtual act of Treason".

    "Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country....."

    The Times responded to Trump's tweet, pointing out its note in the story that they had about their reporting.
    In 2017, Trump shared highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador to the US in a White House meeting, The Washington Post first reported and CNN later confirmed.

    In interviews with current and former government officials over the past three months with the Times, officials describe the deployment of US computer code into Russia's grid and other targets as part of a shift to a more offensive strategy.

    The incursion into the Russian electric power grid seems to have been conducted under new legal authorities in the military authorization bill passed by Congress last year, the Times reports. Under the law, the defense secretary can authorize, without special presidential approval, routine "clandestine military activity" in cyberspace, according to the Times.

    Trump issued new authorities last summer to the United States Cyber Command, which is part of the Pentagon and runs the US military's defensive and offensive online operations, the Times reports. The classified document gives the commander of Cyber Command, Gen. Paul Nakasone, the power to conduct offensive online operations without needing presidential approval....

    Actually, if you KNEW anything about what the hell you were talking about OR understood high level reportage, I'm going with at least 3 HIGH LEVEL ANONYMOUS source, maybe even the guy who planted the 'bugs'. Which means they would only really need one more to VERIFY that he did it.

    PS You do understand that ANONYMOUS sources are only anonymous to us?

    Good. This administration is a joke. Fuck them. Ignore and disregard them. Disobey them.
    Trump is not president.

    You do understand that the NEW YORK SLIMES has been CAUGHT MAKING UP BULLLSHIT DOZENS OF TIMES.

    If you knew anything about what the fuck you are blathering about, you wouldn't post UNSOURCED ARTICLES.


    I'm sure White House insiders are "sneaking around to talk to the NY Slimes".


    GULLIBLE MUCH?

    Don't be such a public ass. They get things wrong!! NEVER ON PURPOSE. Do you understand the difference? Even with the TOTALLY made up story by the kid who got the Pulitzer for lying. They have to trust their reporters. They went through a RIGOROUS dress down, firings, public apology to US and the Pulitzer people and I'm sure many we don't know about.

    As for DOZENS of times? Who's lying? OR how far back are you going? The paper is about 130 years old now.


    PS How long did Woodward and Bernstein keep DEEP THROAT'S anonymity? Hell they could have sold more books just NAMING HIM. Nixon was long gone, 4 or 5 more presidents came and went. Woodward wouldn't even tell his wife, though she figured it--back then. The old guy was still alive and decided to 'come out' before his death. Then WOOD-STEIN published the book.

    Hellooooo, anyone home in there? You really didn't typ that out loud? How many times has TRUMP tweeted and screamed about LEAKERS in the government and his WHITE HOUSE? How many leakers did he say he was going to sue?

    Clue--if you are working at the WH and pissed or scared shitless about something Trump has done, WHO WOULD YOU CALL FIRST? FOX?
    I can tell you and this board with absolute certainty that MANY current and former WH employees have NYT reporters #'s on their speed dial. Their PERSONAL, non-WH issued phones.

    Just plug this into google and see what pops up!

    This is a little disturbing when the Military is out doing one thing and Trump is ... playing golf, oblivious to what is going on around him.

    From the NYT article:

    "But now the American strategy has shifted more toward offense, officials say, with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before. It is intended partly as a warning, and partly to be poised to conduct cyberstrikes if a major conflict broke out between Washington and Moscow."

    I'm not sure why our Reichwing "patriots" think this is a lie. As for me, I'm 100% in favor of this tactical cyberwarfare. It's about time. It sends the message to our enemies: "Fuck with us and you'll get it twice as hard in return." I have no doubt that the release of this information was done deliberately, to let not only Putin's gang know the score -- but to inform the citizens of both Russia and the U.S. that we're not messing around.

    It probably happened because there are far more stable geniuses in our Defense Dept. than there are in the WH. Plus someone shoved some paper under his pen when he was jonesing to go back to the couch and watch the idiot box, and he signed it.
