In this video, Vin Armani covers the CIA’s anonymous claim that Russia interfered with the US presidential election. Meanwhile the FBI contradicts the CIA and says there is not enough evidence to make that claim in court. Anti-propaganda legislation passes while the agenda to discredit the election persists.

Why do we allow the media to lead the narrative like this? Let’s pretend for just a second that Russia DID hack our election. The propaganda engine (controlled by the Jay E. Doubleyews) would have us believe that the story is about Russia’s hack of our election. The story SHOULD be about how easily corruptible our election process is. There’s no mention about how the system is designed to have holes exploitable by those who would control the elections. To be angry that someone other than THEM took advantages of holes THEY engineered into the system is the utmost in hypocrisy.
And I won’t even mention the laundry list of elections the US Govt (or it’s controllers, more accurately) have themselves “meddled” (fixed) in. Talk about being angry when everyone else plays by the rules we created to our own benefit.
So lets say the Russians DID hack our election. I say BRAVO, SIRS! Excellent job!
And to the idiots that run our country from behind the scenes? Why not make a law stating that voting machine manufacturers must make their entire source code available PUBLICLY. Publicly, you say? YES, PUBLICLY. BY LAW. Mandated open source that will allow the general populace to vet the software and ensure holes are found and plugged (not that they should even exist in the first place). Don’t want to FIX the issue tho, just want to have it as an excuse for more war.
Sour grapes from the Hildebeest, Comey keeps this up and he might have to give back the millions he got for letting her go.
I agree letmepicyou.
I would like to see a system that has more checks and blances.
For instance :
Crate an actual 8 character login, obtain a receipt, verify the vote.
Then after the votes are counted all votes should be made public with the 8 characters login ID alongside the vote (that only you would know) and verify that the vote you cast has been counted the way you intended.
Or just go old school paper (best) and verifiers that never leave the room until the votes are counted.
“FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have both reportedly agreed with the CIA’s report that Russian agents hacked the November presidential election and did so to the benefit of the GOP candidate, Donald Trump, as well as to undermine public confidence in the US electoral system.
The Washington Post cites a message reportedly sent by CIA Director John O. Brennan to his staff that states, “Earlier this week, I met separately with (Director) FBI James Comey and DNI Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election.”
Is anyone else sick of activistpost being hijacked by fake journalists promoting lies and propaganda?
No I am sick of corporate BS. Our government lies continuously especially a CIA thug like Brennan.
The soluition is democracy, taking the government ouit of the hands of the corporations and creating a government of, for, and by the people. Then the poltiicans would be obliged to serve their constitutents, not their rich donors. A democratic government would end the monopoly control of the media by 5 corporations and help create the free and diverse media that is required for democracy to work. The alternative media is a tool that however is used for the most obscene fake news imaginable.
To end corporate control of the news requires ending corporate control of the government.
The alternative or independent news was created and flourishes today because of corporate Crony news that lied and continues to lie. By the way have you ever heard of operation mockingbird or are u a paid troll which I suspect from your nonsensical comments.
Operation Mockingbird was a CIA operation to control the media. The CIA is Wall St, through the revolving, door, since Dulles. See the Brothers by David Kinzer. Corporate fascism is how the corporations use the state to control affairs.
Your insult about my being a paid troll and my nonsensical comments only reflect on your ignorance and lack of intellectual subsance or moral integrity.
I urge you to give up the childish name calling and educate yourself. Crony capitalism is another name for corporate fascism, the control of the government by the corporations, Wall St, the energy cartels, Big Pharma, Big Defense, Big Ag, etc.
It started with the slave olgiarchs to wrote the Constitiuton and today includes the banks and major corporations and their paid shills.
When you resort to insults and libel, you lose. I win.
Yes nitwit I said Crony corporate media not fascism get it right which I agree with by the way they all tell the same corporate/government BS like the stuff you throw around. You have moral integrity..I do not see it. Your attitude seems if I do not know it ain’t worth knowing that’s moral arrogance…you have that in abundance. So answer me this you are saying what independent media is what? Trump wants the smartest capable people around him. He is a pragmatist not idealogue…let’s wait and see 6 months or so and then run your mouth. I will agree with you if you advocating getting rid of the fed however if Trump could do that he will have a statue in every town and rightly so agreed?
Oh forgot if you have time to respond to every post….you have too much time on your hands are you retired?
Do u back a candidate in this election? If so..who?
Well who did you vote for?
Whom did you vote for?
You can’t be that stupid!
When you insult, you lose.
Sorry did I hurt your feelings do u need a safe place to go to now with your play doh with other hillary backers.
Not at all steve. You lost when you went for the personal insult. Why would watching you defeat yourself hurt my feelings. You probably think you can beat me in a trash talk contest, but I refuse to lower myself like you. I win on facts, on watching liars explode into insults and curses. I despise Hillary Clinton as much as I despise Trump. You have a record of losing.
Still have not answered . You are a hillary shill you little devil you!
Demanding who someone voted for is pure fascism.
I am. Exposing lies is my hobby. You can read my articles at Quora and opednews.
I have studied poltical science for 55 years…..I devote my time to research and writing.
Like George Orwell, I write “to expose lies.”
Oh you sound like a MORAL CRUSADER…UUUUUUUOOOOOHHHHH!! so impressed.
I am on a crusade to expose lies and liars.
Thanks superman
How hard is it for you to avoid insults and have an intelligent conversation?
Ok I apologize
When you descend into the gutter, you lose. Mussolini defined fascism as the merging of the state and the corporations, which is another way of describing crony capitalism. I don’t throw BS; I report on facts present evidence, and keep my cool.
I have no moral arrogance for I bow before the facts and my efforts to correct disinformation is not an insult but a gift.
Trump is a tyrant, taking power without consent, which was the cause of the American Revolution. You, as a racist defending his fascist buddy Bannon, ask us to wait. How long would you have waited for HItler to show his true colors after pretending to be a populist? How did our last unelected President Bush work out?
Trump when asked what he meant by Make America Great Again, said: “It’s a fantasy. ” So you have been taken in by a slogan on a hat which Trump admits, in a public interview, is a fantasy.
I remind you, when you abandon civility and facts, you lose.
You keep referring to DJ Trump as a tyrant you are just make accusations not FACTS little dale. What are the facts that you bow to here you elitist puke that tells me he is tyrant? My prediction there are none.By the way tomorrow the EC will vote Trump as president a great day for America because America will be made great again with industrial jobs being brought back home. So try and be positive the future is bright especially if FEMA camps could open for people like George sore ass…..BLM…Muslim unvetted refugees….criminal illegal aliens and others.But that will come.
Trump takes power without consent; by definition, that is a tyrant.
Could you define without consent
It’s from the Declaration of Independence. Consent means all votes are counted equally and that the minority loser cannot claim consent, only the candidate getting the most votes. Read the D of I: the American Revolution (armed revolt) was justified by lack of equallity and consent.
Consent, as you well know, means permission: The minority can never confer consent on behalf of a majority who rejected the selected ruler.
Trump lost by 2.8 million; he has no permission of the majority, and 40% do not approve of him. He does not have permission to rule, just like Hitler, Mussolini, and Bush II…all led to disaster.
The operative words are consent of the governed: the minority, or the 538 in the Electoral College, are not the majority and so they cannot confer legitimate claim to power. Only the winner can win, in a democratic Republic. As you have favored fascism, I can why you favor ways to dishonor the democratic vote of the real people.
I urge you to read the Declaration of Independence, which is my source.
We are a republic not a pure democracy are you also advocating the revocation of 2 senators per state?
That is meaningless. A republic is a land with laws: Hitler never did anything illegal. He had the courts or Riechstag legalize his atrocities. The 3d Reich was a fascist Republic; Stalinist USSR was also a Republic.
Likewise the US is a Republic, with the rich elites making the laws: so it is a fascist Republic in which the corporations have taken over the govenrment (from the slave oligarchs, about 155 years ago. it started as an oligarchy, with the slave owners making the law including the Constitution.
Machiavelli’s wrote of Republics, addressed to a Prince (ie a dictator).
So a Republic can be fascist, oligarchic, and saying it is the rule of law is absurd if the 1% make the laws. See the Northwestern/Princeton study showing that 99% of all laws are based on the will of the oligarchs, never the people.
In the Declaration, we are promised a democratic Republic, based on equality and consent of the governed. The Constitution, written by a very different group, overturned the democratic principles on which the Revolution was based. We have been an oligarchy since.
I urge you to join us to overthrow the oligarchy and complete the American Revolution to create the only Republic worth honoring, one where rule is of, for, and by the people.
Do you support the Democratic Republic of North Korea?
I accept and appreciate the fact that we live in a constitutional republic where majority rule does not overwhelm. After all we are a federation of states not 1 giant nation. You skirt the 2 senator issue completely.
What is your fascination with Hitler and how does it relate to electoral college. If you are advocating eliminating the EC work to eliminate it. AlL I know is people like you and other hitlery sycophants would not be complaining about EC if she won. He has permission to rule because he is president elect you have no basis in law to support your view. No where is it written that a candidare must obtain 50 % or more to rule.the declaration of independence is just a broad declaration nothing more. There is no mention of 50 % needed in it…is there? By the way explain to me if you would why each state has 2 senators regardless of population
Also that 2.8 margin you tout cannot be verified as authentic because of vast voting fraud.
The electoral college says he has consent . He does have electoral college landslide majority.. so grow up accept and move on.The 2.8 mean nothing comes from one state….the freak state of california.By the way with the amount of illegal aliens….real voter fraud and dead people votes that 2.8 number cannot be considered true. It you are that upset move to Canada with Whoopi goldberg….Oh forgot she was just kidding.

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!
5:40 AM – 15 Nov 2016
Dale what do you think of the fed….would you like to see it ended. It has a stranglehold on economy…no?
The Federal Reserve is a cartel of private banks. I would like to dismantle it and return the Constitutoinal functions to the Federal Government.
Finally we agree on something ! good.
I am a Trumpster who seeks out crybaby hillary backers to break their chops. Because they are such losers.
Well golly…tell us something we do not already know!
So wait a minute here, please. For the last week I heard that the FBI did not concur with the CIA. Then as of yesterday, Friday 16 December, I heard on MSM and in a few “news”papers that the FBI did indeed concur with the CIA. Now today, Saturday 17 December, I read here in this article that the FBI does NOT concur with the CIA and says there are no facts or evidence to conclude that Russia hacked the election. What gives? I don’t know what to believe now when it comes to which agencies are promoting this nonsense. Regardless, I say “Kudos” to whoever hacked or leaked the info on Hillary and the DNC. We owe them a great deal of appreciation for revealing the nefarious activities of “Her,” the DNC and our own government since the MSM is not going to conduct any investigative journalism and only serves as the government propaganda department.

Not at all: why do you tell me what I believe. An intelligent persons asks rather than assumes. I notice you don’t mention the worst of the corporate media Fox. Is that where you learn your lies?
If the private insurers had allowed you to keep your old policy, as the ACA provided it could, you could have kept your doctor. But the President cannot tell a private insurer that they have to offer you the same plan, doctor, etc. The ACA allowed the old plans to grandfather in, the the private insurers played a dirty trick, and now useful idiots like blame Obama when the insurers screw you. The cost of healthcare has in fact stopped rising as quickly as under Bush, Clinton etc.
Politifact analyzed the data and found “Although the rate of growth has been at historic lows, the actual per-person cost of health care has increased steadily over the last half century. Only the rate of decline has slowed.”
I hate the ACA, which is the old right wing Heritage Foundation plan with a mandate to buy and subsidies for the poor, the same plan that Speaker Gingrich promoted in Congress in the 90’s as the alternative to Hillarycare.
When the Dems couldn’t find the voters for single payer of a public option, they adopted the Republican plan which the Repubs then turned against. That is why they don’t have a plan: the Dems stole it.
Most people want single payer, Medicare for All, which would save 700 billion a year (see my article at opednews), enough to cover everyone including dental and vision.
In May, 2016, a Gallup poll showed that a majority now favor a single payer plan.
“58% favor replacing the ACA with federally funded healthcare system.”
This is not socialized medicine, which is when the doctors and hospitals are government run, but rather government payment administration. Medicare has less than 2% overhead, while private insurers with salaries up to 106 million a year, have 10-15% overhead, hundreds of billions in wasted overhead. Socialized medicine is like the UK, or the VA.
Under Medicare for all, 98 cents of every dollar would go to private doctors and hospitals.
Under private insurers 85-90 cents goes to private medicine.
All other 34 advanced nations have some form of universal healthcare at half the cost. That is why Canadians, who make the sames wages as US citizens, are now richer: we spend 18% on healthcare, they spend 10%, leaving them….,richer.
If you have factual information which refutes any of these claims, which are documented in my opednews article on Medicare for All, please present it. If you do not, adjust your thinking to the facts.
You lie like rug if you like obama.. you like hillary ..and you have no reason to hate trump except you have hatred in your heart now go back to your playroom/safe place snowflake before you melt. There is going to be a long 8 years for you coming up….SO take it slow….take a deep breath….everything will be allright. Please don’t get down in weeds about obummer care you are boring us to tears All u need to know is that you are one of maybe 230 people in the country who find it acceptable.Fox especially lou dobbs is at the top of a very bad group… there is a reason they have 6% approval rating.
What lies be more precise.He hurt the feelings of mexican illegal aliens. Boo hoo hoo.grow up dale …..be a man.
