Here's a nice refresher on who Hillary is... | ||
| Sifo |
Are we really here again? I guess when you get away with it once, it's worth repeating. How many times have emails gone missing from this administration again? I've honestly lost track! Emails From Hillary Clinton’s IT Director at State Department Appear to Be Missing | ||

Tom, Until the DOJ (Obama) objects, there is no issue. Congress remains feckless. Their all in it together save the Tea Party folks. | ||

Tom, I think the bigger question is: Why in the heck are they using PSTs? That's the stupidest thing you can do with mail. That puts it all on the local hard drive (unless they were doing folder redirection to a network drive...in which case they would have backups of it). Competent IT departments forbid, by group policy, the creation of PSTs. You want all of the mail to stay on the server so it can be archived and produced at will if any are subject to legal discovery (you won't know which ones will be needed until you're asked for them...so you save them all until they're past the record retention period). Lawyers are expensive, and the last thing you want to do is pay them to spend days pouring through other people's email looking for the mail from someone else. That the government apparently is OK with PSTs, and is happy to pay a shade of lawyers (with my money) to look for email is sickening. | ||

Jeff, I really have no idea what is "allowed" in our government. As you suggest, it's hard to imagine that they would ever want the emails kept on the personal machines. Is it possible that our government is that incompetent? I would suggest it's a real possibility. Another real possibility is that the state department went rogue under Hillary, planning for the time when this information needed to be hidden from the public. Personally, I can't imagine that it would be allowable to do this in any area of government where you could be dealing with classified information. Lose a lap top, and you lose an entire database of classified info. I really want to believe that our government is smarter than that. One thing I learned during the IRS scandal is that this administration can fail to find emails when it's obvious where to look for them. It's obvious corruption. | ||

I wonder which ISP is complicit in this matter? Aren't emails stored in at least 3 places? It has been my understanding that there is a server farm in Oak Ridge Tennessee storing every piece of data that passes through the internet, redundant with two other locations in the country. Every text message, snap chat, Failbook post, email, etc. All there. Am I wrong? I know we must have a resident expert on this subject. What I can say is that my company has delivered over 100 trailers full of server racks to Oak Ridge. And even though we no longer do it, other trucking companies ARE. Day in, day out. High security loads with two drivers at all times, constant GPS tracking, chase cars with 2 driver each, the works. The place keeps growing. Right here... they call it a laboratory, but...  | ||

I doubt they're saving everything. I do not doubt that they're intercepting everything and sending select bits there for storage and/or analysis. | ||

How much traffic the NSA got is unknown, mainly because there is one big question we don't know the answer too, and that is if they can crack HTTPS (TLS) encrypted traffic in general, or if they have to crack the endpoints (either sender or receiver). Math and physics wise, the algorithms are nearly impossible to crack in any kind of sane timeframe. So the obvious answer would be "no, they can't". But there are five ways they could still do it. 1) Steal the keys 2) Compromise the endpoints 3) Save the data and wait for the future (later vulnerability discovery or decrypting breakthrough) 4) Plant a hole in the algorithims 5) Have a practical quantum computer infrastructure nobody knows about. None are easy, there is evidence all five have been done regularly. How much though? I can go into technical details about each if anyone cares, but it gets hairy fast.

Before you assume what capability NSA has, read a bit. https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/haldermanhening er/how-is-nsa-breaking-so-much-crypto/ | ||

Cool article. Though I might argue it falls in category 4 above.  (OK, maybe it should read "plant or hide a hole in the algorithims, and throw a crapton of money at the problem) | ||

"throw a crapton of money at the problem" That's number 5 | ||

Pro-Hillary PAC Spending $1 Million to Hire Online Trolls I've wondered about a few around here in the past. | ||
| Aesquire |
Wondered? I've asked them how much it pays because I wanted to get a new job. However, being leftists ( for hire or by brain damage ) they never responded to the question. I wish that was funny and not accurate.  | ||

Examine known facts. Private server. Illegal, but as Sec State Hillary could have authorized it. No evidence she did so in any legal way but..... Clinton's aren't subject to your peasant laws. Classified mail on unsecured private server. Hillary denies, FBI says thousands. .... how would she know? She's just a silly girrrrl. Prison time? Clinton's aren't subject to your peasant laws. Messy trial needed and not likely. Destruction of government documents. Bragged about. Felony. 31,000 plus admitted counts. Every other word on this admitted felony has been kabuki theater. "Wiped like with a rag?" Just a silly girrrrl incompetent to deal with geek stuff. Clinton's aren't subject to your peasant laws. You can't have leftist without lies. It's entirely up to Barry to indict. Lost emails are his administration legacy. IRS, EPA, Justice, State, etc. | ||

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435392/cultu ral-revolution-china-campus Mao set about destroying some of those would-be Khrushchevs with whispering campaigns, while simultaneously spreading paranoia directly to the people, particularly to that most easily duped segment of society, high-school and college kids. Responding to Mao’s warnings, adolescent “Red Guards” sprang up all over the country — “Chairman Mao has defined our future as an armed revolutionary youth organization,” one Red Guard explained, “So if Chairman Mao is our Red commander-in-chief and we are his Red soldiers, who can stop us? First we will make China Red from inside out, and then we will help the working people of other countries make the world Red. . . . And then the whole universe.” These kids were told to stop trusting their parents and teachers, and to seek out secret capitalists everywhere. “To rebel is justified” became a popular Red Guard slogan, as did “Those who are against Chairman Mao will have their dog skulls smashed into pieces,” and “Long live the Red Terror!” These freshly minted 18-year-old psychopaths — and everyone else sucked into Mao’s personality cult — were informed by China’s national chief of police, Xie Fuzhi, that he had no objection to their murdering “bad people.” Meanwhile, Mao’s right-hand man, Lin Biao, addressed Red Guard rallies and called for loyal socialists to destroy the “Four Olds” — pre-revolution culture, customs, habits, and ideas. Confucius’s grave was looted and desecrated, as were temples, churches, mosques, and monasteries all over the country. In the best National Socialist tradition, clergymen were forced at gunpoint to desecrate and destroy their houses of worship. Libraries of ancient texts were burned. An enormous proportion of all the ancient buildings, statues, and paintings everywhere in China were destroyed (many of the best examples that survive either were already in Taiwan or were smuggled to safety abroad; fortunately, the Terracotta Army had not yet been discovered). Ideologically suspect writers and artists were arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. A pamphlet called “Four hundred films to be criticized” was issued, and China’s film industry was shut down. Popular music was banned. The Communist Party’s Central Committee, under Mao’s direction, described this “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution” as “a deeper and more extensive stage in the development of the Socialist Revolution.”...... As you watch the Occupy kids burn and a Senator give speeches calling for all who Deny Climate Change be prosecuted, the President call for punishing his enemies, and the chosen D party candidate promise her followers that she will erase civil rights...... just tell yourself it can't happen here. Go ahead. Lie. It's much more comfortable. | ||

That's not right. It's a security review. Pretty sad that FBI doesn't even know what that is. Amateurs. | ||
