Iowahawk explains the Russian “hack”
This guy, Iowahawk, has kept me in stitches since the first day I clicked a link on the internet. Last night he explained the Russian “Hacking” of the DNC’s emails for those of us who just didn’t get it;

5/ At the time of their release (Oct) they were hardly covered by any media, and largely dismissed as a big fat nothingburger.
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) December 30, 2016
7/ Fast forward to December. The October nothingburger has now magically transformed into "vote hacking" and "election hacking."
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) December 30, 2016
4/ The emails were mildly embarrassing, revealing frequent circle jerking between the DNC and journalists. Mostly embarrassing to media.

There, I hope that helps.
Category: Who knows
That kind of thing usually goes into my junk mail section.
Should I open those ‘Fed Ex waiting for you’ messages now? I mean, those Nigerians sure do have a lot of money to give away. And the Gmail messages! And I don’t even have a Gmail account. What DO I do?
Apparently the GOP had an adequate spam filter, but the “smartest party evah” couldn’t manage that level of technological sophistication.
“Don’t click the link.”
“Don’t click the attachment.”
“If you don’t know the sender, delete it.”
“If you do know the sender, but you didn’t ask for them to send it, ask them via another channel (phone, text) if they sent it.”
How freaking hard is that for the World’s Smartest Party? My sisiter’s 10 year old kid can handle those rules.
.
The idiots who blew the election are still looking for the “They cheated!” escape route. Nope. You clowns lost it all on your own.
And concoct a more secure password for your “secure Gmail account” than p@ssw0rd . Yes, that was really John Podesta’s email password for the Gmail account he used to access Hillary’s “secure server”. But it’s all the Russians’ and the RNC’s and Trump’s fault that his emails were leaked.
Gee, that sounds like what is covered in Tge DoD Cyber Challenge training slides. Queen Hillary was too damn important to complete any required training.
BTW, my clearance level was upgraded a few months back. Investigators now ask if you have ever violated any classified material procedures for the sake of convenience.
Heck, your sister’s 10 y.o. probably WROTE the rules!
We just found Russians in our power grid interweb up north. Perhaps they were looking for Bernie’s Myspace page.
Or they had some honeymoon photos that were just laying around that they wanted to get to the comrade.
I just can’t make the leap from a simple phishing scam to a full blown computer system hack that threatened our democratic process.
Putin’s non-response to Barry’s over-reaction is perfect; his petulance and inadequacy is there for all to see. This is what happens when a Community Organizer goes head to head with a KGB Colonel.
Regarding your first paragraph, by my count there are three here at TAH who have made that leap. The rest of us? We ain’t jumping.
But those three also should be taking a leap at a rolling donut.
Means, opportunity, motive: the “leaks” came fromwithin the Jackass party, probably on order of BHO, or one of his most senior minions.
Keep in mind that the most damaging stuff was the supposedly deleted public records ordered released by the courts. Yeah, those embarrassing “nothing exists” “oh -those-…” felony-to-delete emails. The russians had nothing to do with HRC using an illegal bootleg email server to dodge federal records law, and to handle classified stuff in flagrant violation of law. Nor were they the ones who wiped the thing, in flagrant violation of law and subpoena.
She did that epic-stupid all on her gangster-self law-is-for-little-people own.
‘…probably on order of BHO, or one of his most senior minions.’
Okay, I understand your point of view, 11B, but mine is that they really are so stupid, they don’t know how to do anything without their hands being held, including this phishing e-mail stuff. I know that bodaprez is a spoiled, snotty, petulant twit, but we all know that. That was a given a long time ago. But this ‘last minute’ in-your-face thing coming from him? I really don’t think he’s remotely clever enough to come up with that kind of idea himself.
Getting some kind of petty revenge on shrillary is something that IS his style, but blaming it on the Russians – no, it appears to me that he’s trying to cover his own carelessness with lame-ass excuses, and not much more.
I’m sure the real story will show up soon. The Dumas Nitwit Clowns who fell for a phishing scam that no one else would even respond to will NEVER accept responsibility for their own stupidity and carelessness.
BO may or may not be clever enough, Ex-PH2, but his handlers certainly are. Stick it to Hillary, the RNC, Trump, the Russians, and the U.S., all in one fell swoop.
“Organizing” all this drama and intrigue is exactly why Obama keeps Ben Rhodes around.
It’s like the story of the boggie man he’s under every bed you just have to be dumb enough to believe it’s true
It’s true! I had the top bunk in Basic – you should’ve seen the boogie man under MY bed….
I once saw a shrink about the monsters hiding under my bed. She told me to cut off the legs of the bed. Ain’t nobody hiding under there now.
I had comic books under my bed. And then, my mother found them and threw them away. Do you guys know what a SGT Rock comic from 1959 is worth today? Never mind Green Lantern, or Greeny Arrow and Speedy!
What comes out after 20JAN?
We can guess that either the Russians, DJT, Wikileaks or the FBI is holding on some good stuff.
Stuff to destroy Hillary or Bill after she won the election. But she didn’t.
So nothing will get released until after 20JAN so obama can’t pardon her.
Does anyone beside me remember the inadvertent open microphone incident in Seoul between Obama and the Russian PM/FM where he told him to have patience because he’s have more flexibility after the 2012 election.
The hypocrisy of claiming DJT is in bed with the Russians after that is amazing
That doesn’t count because any action taken by a Democrat (and especially “the one”) is motivated only by an ethos that is as pure as the driven snow.
Whereas any even borderline nefarious act that can be linked in even the most tenuous way to a Republican (or someone who once heard of Republicans) is malicious and treasonous.
Please teach me how to type while simultaneously holding your nose and throwing up. You must have been doing both when you wrote that sentence. (smile)
The Donkey Party has been in bed with the Russians since at least the 1920s, so long the Donks assumed it was a marriage/exclusive arrangements. Now that they think Russia has “strayed”, they are shrieking venom like any other case of “the woman scorned”.
If the Russians -did- prefer Trump, it was survival mode. Having that shrieking vindictive harpy one tantrum away from ‘the button” was probably too much of a risk to “the Motherland’. Besides, she had already proven she wont stay bought.
Not that Russia mattered. She screwed that election up all on her arrogant own. Well, maybe with a lot of help from the kneepad-equipped presstitutes of the mainstream media.
Example: encourage your youthful-rapscalian party wing to cross party lines in primaries and vote Trump. This both queued up the Elephant candidate they thought wanted to fight, and took out a big chunk of Bernie voters from the Donkey primary.
Does she really believe they didn’t figure out who screwed whom with this ploy? Might that have cut down youthful-rapscallion Bern-out turnout? Nahhhhhhh.. Russians! Cheating!!!!!
Bernie versus any “electable/establishment” Elephant in 2016 = probable white house painted Revolutionary Red, and Che on the dollar.
Stop blaming the Russians you despicable stupid twits! You did this to yourselves.
So Podesta or his staff fell for a phishing email. duh.
This is a hoot:
“There’s no evidence Russia influenced Clinton campaign operatives to steer SEIU members on the ground away from Michigan. As of yet, there is no proof it was Russia who directed Lena Dunham to campaign in North Carolina, or the aged cast of the West Wing to stump in Ohio. There is no evidence that rural voters in Pennsylvania, whom Mrs. Clinton ignored in the final weeks of the campaign, are actually Russian spies. It is still not known whether Katy Perry is in fact a Russian agent.
If any actual electoral fraud was engineered by Putin and Russia, giving Hillary Clinton almost 3,000,000 more votes than Donald Trump is an amazing cover.”
http://heatst.com/politics/media-election-hacked/
Or the fact that those 3 million extra votes were no doubt the sum of illegals voting in one stinking county in the US, in, where else, calimorons…
Think it didn’t happen, I watched the 2012 election get thrown in Milwaukee as busloads of FIB’s were unloaded and given an electric bill to use for voter registration to a place that they had never even seen…
I’ll betcha Trump got 60% of the true, legal vote.
The depth of stupid among the American electorate knows no bottom. And these are the ones who actually vote and, presumably, give a shit.
For proof of this, please see what is, at least for the moment, the next comment below. It’s from a middle-aged male who pestered people by phone to support that Old Commie and Free Cheeser poster boy, Bernie “Never-Held-A-Job” Sanders.
People who believe the 3 million illegals voted nonsense are some of the biggest morons on the internet.
Prove it wrong Zika-Commie.
The precinct I voted at turned away 8 apparent illegal voters. Voter ID works. When the Sheriffs Deputies arrived, they all had drivers licenses with the same address over 30 miles away and multiple voter registration cards.
Think it doesn’t happen?
You must be the moron.
As one of my law professors stated,”you can’t reason with a zealot, they believe what they believe, despite contrary evidence.” Poodledick lives in a parallel universe where everything is the way he believes it is. Once a proglodyte always a proglodyte. He is still feeling the Bern.
Oh, come on, you guys! The Piuperdink is delusional. He tells himself stories, so they must all be true.
He forgets about that pot->kettle thing all the time.
Ever heard of Bob Dornan? Do a little research and prepare to be fucking amazed.
B-1 Bob Dorman got a little lazy and with the help of illegals for the Dem he lost. Now the seat he occupied is lost forever.
Dammit it’s Dornan.
The fact is, they showed (proved!!) that several THOUSAND illegal ballots were cast in just one Congressional district, mostly in Santa Ana.
Extrapolate that to REALLY liberal areas of CA, and the prospect of several hundred thousand, if not up to a couple of million illegals voting in CA is not beyond the realm of possibility.
Hmm. 50 CA districts times 5,000 = 250,000. Not a million, but a substantial chunk of same. And I’d also guess 5,000 would be low for some barrio LA districts.
And that doesn’t count other unlawful votes – e.g., unregistered persons, persons not meeting residency requirements, and those who’ve lost the right to vote due to criminal conviction. Add those, and yeah – 1,000,000+ illegal votes in a CA election becomes eminently plausible.
Addendum: that million+ plausible total is only CA. Add other states with large urban areas like NY (NYC), IL (Chicago, where the phrase “vote early/vote often” was likely authored), PA (Philly), MI (Detroit), and others, and a total of 3+ million unlawful votes cast in a national election becomes eminently plausible for a nationwide total.
Let’s not forget that CA Governor Moonbat signed a bill into law allowing illegal aliens to vote. Can you say UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
And the 60,000 felons whose “voting rights” were restored by the Virginia governor at the last minute. . .
You have less common sense than a pile of goose shit, Zika-Poodle. Speaking of which, YOU were harping about it like that shit was gonna end civilization in six months, NOW WHAT? That was just the mess media’s crisis dujour and you said “*BA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!*” while going with the rest of the herd of SHEEPLE, of which you are one. Hitlery’s popular vote lead came exclusively from CA and NY, two places where arrogant putzes like you think no life exists outside of.
You lose yet again, Zika-Poodle.
Zampolit, you have done everything in your power to make yourself a laughingstock here. Why should I take what you say seriously? LC does rhetoric better, and W2 does snark better.
People suspect that illegals voted. The number is certainly greater than “zero”, but probably les than 5 million. Personally, I doubt the total illegal vote gave the ~3 million edge to HRC. The Dems have never needed Illegals to manufacture bogus votes in the past (say 1960 Chicago giving Kennedy the win). The Detroit fiasco, where 47% of precincts reported vote totals exceeded signed-in voters by large numbers, in some cases one or two -orders of magnitude-.
-That- is from where the Donkey/HRC numbers tend to come. The vote of the Chicago Dead is also legendarily loyal to Donkeys.
Your preferred party supported -slavery-, previously chattel slavery, now the soft-slavery of Socialism and one-party rule.
But you seem to enjoy being the scratching post for the site. As the joke goes,
The Bear said to the Hunter: “Admit it. You’re not here for the hunting.”
Maybe Zika-Poodle shows our responses to his bullshit to his perfessers in an attempt to brown-nose them?
Around 30 years ago there was a story of France committing espionage against American companies. My brother started to complain that our ally would do such a thing. I told him I’m sure we do the same thing to them.
Everybody spies and tries to hack everyone else. The Chinese and Russians are trying to hack our electrical grid for soft spots. One day when they try to make a move somewhere in the world they will disable the grid to prevent any move by us.
As far as the election goes, Americans don’t need hacking to make the bad selections especially when 47% stay home.
What does the NSA and CIA do? Spying is what they do for a living. I remember being taught years and years ago that much intel is gathered by foreign spies by their merely attending open hearings in Congress and sitting in Georgetown bars and eateries. In the case of this DNC idiocy, I would not be surprised to learn that the super cyber sleuths who tricked Podesta, et al, into giving up their Gmail passwords are actually two 15-year-old kids in Ukraine.
Ain’t it grand !!!
And I’ll bet among those Russians expelled there were some valuable intel sources that we no longer have.
I look at Putin’s non-response in that light.
You have to wonder how many of them will get secret trials and a bullet in the brainpan after they are home for a while. There is a lovely depiction of how the Soviets did capital punishment for spying in one episode of “The Americans.”
As I’ve told family and friends: “We have linguists for any language you can name and experts on any country you can think of. And I guarantee that every single one of those countries has at least one person over here.”
“If this story gets out, we are screwed.” If you are unfamiliar with that quote, google it and read up. And then come back and tell me that the Russians interfered with democratic process, as the Loser Bitch of Benghazi and her blind minions maintain.
When Iowahawk was running his blog, you saw a lot of stuff like this on it. He did a series about Zarqawi:

Shit is insane funny… don’t be eating or drinking anything when you go read them.
Really? Why, I’d have never guessed!

Spies R Us!
In 1960, Gary Powers was flying his U2 spyplane over Soviet airspace and was shot down by a Soviet fighter pilot. After his ‘trial’ in the USSR, he was exchanged in a spy swap for Soviet KGB Colonel Vilyam Fisher (aka Rudolf Ivanovich Abel) at the now famous Glienicke Bridge. American student Frederic Pryor was also released at the same time at Checkpoint Charlie. Abel was an English-born KGB man who had been caught spying in New York in 1957.
Abel was, in fact, a notoriously good spy for the Soviets. The CIA cooked up a cover story for Powers’ intrusion into Soviet airspace. The incident created a problem for Nikita Krushchev at a 4-powers conference in Paris before the spies were traded.
See, this is why I understand Putin. I don’t like him, but he is ruthless in his job – no surprise there – and he is about 100 miles ahead of that moron in the White House in smarts. I can admire Vlad for his smarts. I don’t have to like him.
I like him. I don’t trust him, but I like him. In the case of oBaMa, I don’t like him and I certainly don’t trust him, either.
There. That should send two of our foil-hat wearers off the deep end.
I think they were already there.
I mean, it’s clear as day, the ONLY way Hillarious COULD have lost the election was becuz Teh Ruskies hacked everyone.
And agree, Iowahawk has kept me in stitches long before he became a Twitter God, his “CHUTCH!” story on his old site he used to maintain regularly was practically Pulitzer worthy. (Or at very least better than most stories we read nowadays)
Good ol’ Chutch (Ward Churchill). He was a valor thief in addition to his many other lies. He claimed to have been airborne and served in a LRRP/Ranger Co. in RVN, but his only special training was in the operation of a mimeograph machine and a movie projector. Just another of the many thousands of lying REMFs with RVN service.
The fucking Russians hacked my F5 key this week on the WOT.
Cocksuckers.
ex-OS2. This is funny as shit. Google “cocksucker in russian.” What should come up is a box with that word in it twice, once in English and the other in Russian. Click the little speaker above each. Laughed my ass off. And now I have to go have it reattached.
That was hilarious, I can’t stop laughing!
It made my day 2/17 Air Cav, thank you!
That’s actually Tajik. Xуесос: funnier than a box of bent screws.
Those bastards!
Seems even funnier because Wordfence says it wasn’t Russians. All us WordPress users got this info if we are sensible enough to use Wordfence. Looks like it could be out of date Ukrainian code,and random hackers using Tor. For sure Russia is capapable of being more professional.Oops how embarrassing! https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/12/russia-malware-ip-hack/?utm_source=list&utm_campaign=123016&utm_medium=email
I expect to learn that a major US newspaper will soon be publishing the admission of a Russian agent that he was employed by the Russian gov’t to hack the DNC by whatever means necessary and that he was paid well and told that the goal was to ensure Clinton’s loss. I also hear that the agent’s wish to remain anonymous, for fear of reprisal, of course, will be honored by the newspaper.
True, but his name will later be ‘found out’ and released through sneaky channels, and it will be – wait for it – Rudol Abel.
You just wait and see. It’s coming… in the mail.
