- Start date
Libs think President Trump is authoritarian and #vault7 is a democratic gov't and the rule of law in action.
Even after yesterday's revelations, not a single gov't official or main stream media type calling for investigations into the CIA.
But they do want an investigation alright.

They're all in to find this leaker. No word on attempting to find the leakers of voluminous leakers of Trump info, however.
I predict that after all this our gov't will determine that the CIA needs more money to do their job.

WIKILEAKS LATEST RELEASE GIVES WEIGHT TO MICHAEL HASTINGS ASSASSINATION THEORIES
Posted by Cassandra Fairbanks | Mar 7, 2017 |
The death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings has always been viewed with scrutiny — and fear that it was not a typical car accident that claimed his life in 2013. Now, the massive trove of secrets revealed by WikiLeaks may provide more weight to the skepticism.
Hastings, 33, was no stranger to controversial stories, with some of his most sensational work including bringing down US Army General Stanley McChrystal, commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force, in a profile that was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine — and the revelation that Bowe Bergdahl had abandoned his post in Afghanistan.
His work on the Bergdahl story was on the radar of the FBI, according to a heavily redacted 22-page document obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed on the day of Hastings’ death by journalists Jason Leopold and Ryan Shapiro.
It was later revealed by his widow Elise Jordan that he was working on a profile of CIA Director John Brennan at the time of his death.
The morning of his death, Hastings went to his neighbor Jordanna Thigpen and asked to borrow her car, in fear that his own had been tampered with, USA Today reported. She declined to let him borrow it, citing mechanical problems.
Hours later, Hastings’ car would burst into flames after ramming into a tree on a Los Angeles street — at 100 mph. His body was so badly burned that it was only identifiable by matching his fingerprints to what the FBI had on file.
Witnesses to the crash reported that they had seen the car’s engine fly 50 to 60 yards from the scene of the impact.It was also revealed that Hastings had emailed colleagues just prior to his death, saying that he was working on a “big story” and needed to “go off the radar.”
Hours before the crash, he also contacted a lawyer from WikiLeaks.

Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him.
On Tuesday, the Wikileaks revelations shined a light on the CIA looking into their abilities to “infect” vehicle control systems in cars and trucks in 2014, one year after Hasting’s death, though their reasoning for needing to do so is unspecified.
“The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations,” Zero Hedge notes.

Wikileaks hints CIA may have had a role in the death of Michael Hastings http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-07/wikileaks-hold-press-conference-vault-7-release-8am-eastern …

Former US National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard A. Clarke said at the time that what was made public about the crash was “consistent with a car cyber attack”.
“There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers — including the United States — know how to remotely seize control of a car. So if there were a cyber attack on [Hastings’] car — and I’m not saying there was, I think whoever did it would probably get away with it,” Clarke had stated.
In Hastings’ book “The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan,” he wrote about receiving death threats for his work. “We’ll hunt you down and kill you if we don’t like what you write,” a staffer for McChrystal had allegedly told him.
Hastings added, “I wasn’t disturbed by the claim. Whenever I’d been reporting around groups of dudes whose job it was to kill people, one of them would usually mention that they were going to kill me.”
Two days after the crash, the Los Angeles Police Department declared that there was no sign of foul play in his death. A sign asserting that “this was not an accident,” was left on the tree where he died.
While many friends of the journalist have raised questions, Hastings’ widow has long maintained that she does not believe that there was foul play involved in his death.

That's some epic releases. No wonder foreign countries intelligence services are working 24/7 to learn as much as they can about what the CIA has been up to.
One question: why are they releasing all of these ? who is behind these releases?
how comes the identities of CIA agents ( thus their families) are not put in there ? are the released "worked on" beforehand? if so, by whom?

White hats and black hats within us Intel community waging a bloodless civil war right now to destroy their opponents credibility via leaks. Black hats going nuts with the made up trump Russian connection. White hats counter with vault 7 showing massive CIA shenanigans and impropriety. Wikileaks is the conduit for white hats. The black hats usually just make shit up. As we've seen they have the ability to via vault 7 etc.
As someone who works in the Network Security industry let me say that this is not the normal definition of white hats and black hats. White hats are security experts who always obey the law and are hired by companies to perform penetration testing to ensure corporate or government networks are secure.
Black hats are people (from any political angle) who hack into corporate or government networks to steal information without the knowledge of the entity they are targeting. Usually their activities are considered illegal.
Normally the terms white hat and black hat only apply to people with a network security expertise who can hack in from the outside. Insiders (such as network administrators) who steal information (e.g. Edward Snowden) and stick it on a USB key are not black hats or white hats -- they are merely thieves performing criminal acts.
It is also likely that the release of many Democratic Party email records was not performed by Russian black hat hackers but by a Democratic insider. Please note my wording here - it is likely the Russians may have hacked into the Democratic Party servers and stole the emails but they did not release them publicly -- a Democratic insider with a USB key probably stole the Democratic Party emails that were released publicly (Note: the Podesta account situation is separate & different).
You should not be declaring people performing political hacking you support as "white hats", and political hacking you oppose as "black hats". --- All of these people are black hats performing illegal activities without support of the organizations which own the information.

Semantics bro. 'White hats' and 'black hats' is a universal term, used in many industries/contexts to describe good guys and bad guys. That's all. In this case, its meant to describe patriots versus traitors/globalists/corporate actors.
Interesting insider baseball, tho. Thanks.
Funny how the 'left' and 'progressive' media are more than happy to allow the government and state to trample all over our human rights... in fact they justify it!
