State Dept: Clinton email storage safe not secure for some messages



If the State Department was a safe it would look something like this. 


Their annual budget, of which Kerry is now Secretary, is a whopping $56 billion! All you have to do is read the first paragraph in the article below to realize the ineptness of the State Department. They can't be responsible enough to give Killary's lawyer an adequate safe? 

So in the scheme of things if Kerry's State Department can't provide something as minuscule as a secure safe how in the world can you possibly convince me they have all the bases covered in something much more complex...the Iranian deal! This is the same Kerry right? I'm not comparing the Clinton's to Iran. But they do share a commonality. Both are known liars which the State Department should have anticipated.


Oh...and it states in this article Killary "apologized". 


Actually she said, "I'm sorry for the confusion". Which in essence means...I'm totally legit.. you're just to stupid to understand.

------------------------------------


WASHINGTON – The State Department has told Senate investigators that it didn't provide Hillary Rodham Clinton's lawyer with a secure-enough safe to read now-highly classified material from her homebrew email server because it didn't anticipate that the messages would be deemed so secret.

In July, State Department officials installed a safe at the office of attorney David Kendall after the government determined some of Clinton's emails may have contained classified information. But it said last week the safe wasn't suitable for so-called top secret, sensitive compartmented information, known as TS/SCI, which the government has said was found in some messages.

Assistant Secretary of State Julia Frifield wrote to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley on Sept. 22 that "while the safe was suitable for up to (top secret) information, it was not approved for TS/SCI material" because the material wasn't held in a facility set up for discussing highly secret information, known as a SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility.

Those questions were not an issue at the time the safe was installed because "there was no indication that the emails might contain TS or TS/SCI material," Frifield wrote in the letter obtained by The Associated Press. Kendall has a top secret security clearance.

The State Department's letter underscores how even the nation's diplomatic apparatus didn't anticipate Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, would have sent or received such highly sensitive information on her private email server while secretary of state. Questions about her use of such a server have at times dominated her White House run.

Kendall and a Clinton spokesman did not immediately return messages seeking comment Monday.

"It shows how badly the wires were crossed" between the State Department, which didn't anticipate any of the emails would be top secret, and the intelligence community, which decided they were classified, said Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert at the Federation of American Scientists.

The State Department also said it was unaware of whether anyone's security clearances were suspended pending an investigation into possible improper handling of classified information, one of several questions posed by Grassley, R-Iowa. Such an action is not uncommon amid such classification reviews, said Bradley Moss, a Washington lawyer who deals regularly with security clearance matters.

The AP in March first discovered that Clinton ran her server off an Internet connection traced to her Chappaqua, New York, home. Clinton later confirmed she operated the server for convenience but did not provide details on how well the basement server was backed up or how adequately it was protected from hackers.

Since then, the State Department has indicated through Freedom of Information Act releases of Clinton's emails that dozens of messages that passed through her private server were later deemed classified. Most messages released so far have been marked "confidential," the lowest level of U.S. government classification.

But two emails, although not marked classified at the time they were sent, have since been slapped with a "TK" marking, for the "talent keyhole" compartment, suggesting material obtained by spy satellites, according to the inspector general for the intelligence community. They also were marked "NOFORN," meaning information that can only be shared with Americans with security clearances.

One email included a discussion of a U.S. drone strike, part of a covert program that is nevertheless widely known. A second conversation could have improperly referred to highly classified material, but it also could have reflected information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence told the AP.

Clinton has since apologized for using a private server and said she's provided copies of all the messages she was required to turn over. She reiterated in a recent interview that she didn't "send or receive any material marked 'classified.' We dealt with classified material on a totally different system. I dealt with it in person."

Since earlier this year, government investigators — and her political adversaries in particular — have focused on Clinton's email practices that effectively bypassed government-run systems. Also potentially at issue is whether Clinton withheld any work-related emails from the roughly 30,000 messages she provided to the State Department.

The AP is one of several organizations that have sued the State Department for records during her tenure, including emails to and from Clinton and her former top aides.

Barry puts the "Cuban Missile Crisis" in Netanyahu's lap





The Cuban Missile Crisis took place in October 1962. JFK (rightfully so) refused to allow Russian missiles armed with nuclear warheads only 90 miles of the coast of southern Florida. Now fast forward to 2015.  To put things in perspective just suppose for a moment Cuba is Iran. With those demographics and even though we have a plethora of assholes in Congress both Republican and Democrat, stupidity running rampant, it would seem unconscionable this deal with Iran would have ever seen the light of day.

Now put yourself in Netanyahu's shoes. 



Tehran, Iran to Tel Aviv, Israel

 

988 miles 

Barry has deliberately boxed him into a corner as this map would indicate. 



This graph shows approximately how far along Iran is in their ballistic missile program. Once they develop a nuclear warhead (if they haven't done so already) Iran could hit Israel just by moving the missile sites closer to the Iranian border or locating them in Iraq, Syria, or deploying them to Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon!




Clinton almost word-for-word...the same shit Barry touted about the Iranian deal.

How does that saying go again...those who do not learn from history..







From the horse's mouth.



I don't see any other choice but for Israel to attack Iran and destroy their nuclear weapon sites. Next question. 


Whose side will Barry be on?

Bill Clinton says Republicans, media at fault for wife’s email woes





Yeah... and it was Orrin Hatch's semen on Monica's dress!

John McCain set up Killary's email account.
Chuck Grassley the server.
And Boehner sent here an iPhone.

So how come we're not investigating Republicans?

Can we expect any less from the spouse of the woman who argued what “is” is? Columnist Charles Krauthammer said it best when he noted last week, “Nothing Hillary says ever is true three weeks later.”

--------------------------






WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton blamed Republicans and the media for the controversy surrounding his wife’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, arguing that GOP rivals want to focus on political hype to undercut her presidential campaign.

“I have never seen so much expended on so little,” Clinton said in an interview to be aired Sunday, describing the email furor as resulting largely from the GOP’s “full-scale frontal assault” on Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. Excerpts of the interview on “CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS” were released on Saturday.

“The other party doesn’t want to run against her. And if they do, they’d like her as mangled up as possible,” Clinton said.

Republicans have raised questions about thousands of emails that she has deleted on grounds that they were private in nature, as well as other messages that have surfaced independently of Hillary Clinton and the State Department.

Bill Clinton likened the email controversy to questions over the Whitewater land deal that he faced during his 1992 presidential campaign. Saying the furor was more politics than substance, Clinton argued that his wife has been open in answering questions and will bounce back from a decline in the polls.

“She said she was sorry that her personal email caused all this confusion. And she’d like to give the election back to the American people. And I trust the people. I think it will be all right,” he said.

Clinton added that the news media also played an inappropriate role in his wife’s troubles.

“You know, at the beginning of the year, she was the most admired person in public life,” he said. “What happened? The presidential campaign happened. And the nature of the coverage shifted from issue-based to political.”

Clinton taped the interview on Thursday. On Friday, the Obama administration discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of her work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials told The Associated Press. Their existence challenges her claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account.

They won't get it until the Statue of Liberty is replaced by a mosque






Ben Carson's warning: Radical ideology out to destroy us

By Cal Thomas

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15-16)



Major newspaper editorials and some columnists have their knickers in a twist over remarks by Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson.

Appearing last Sunday on “Meet the Press,” Carson was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he believes Islam is consistent with the Constitution.

“No, I don’t,” he said. “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” Asked whether he could vote for a Muslim for Congress, Carson said Congress is a different story, but that it “depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are.”

Carson critics are quick to mention Article VI of the Constitution, which prohibits a “religious test” for office, but that means no one can be barred from office because of their faith; it does not and could not prevent citizens from voting for or against someone for religious reasons.

Two years ago, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom reported 10 of the 15 “worst violators of religious freedom” in the world are nations in which Islam is the dominant religion.

If you prefer the thoughts of a cultural icon, consider what singer Art Garfunkel said. As reported on DailyMail.com, Garfunkel noted that Muslims are transforming Europe. He referenced “Reflections of the Revolution in Europe,” a 2009 book by Christopher Caldwell, which argues “mass immigration by Muslims is altering the culture of Europe because of their reluctance to join the culture of their new homelands.” The book claims Muslims do not so much enhance European culture as supplant it, and are “patiently conquering Europe’s cities, street by street.”

Is that bigotry or reality? Is it bigotry to quote what various Islamic leaders say are their intentions when it comes to establishing a worldwide caliphate and replacing the U.S. Constitution with Sharia Law, or is it a warning we should take seriously and respond to as we would react to any other invasion?

“Mina” (not her real name to protect her family) is a U.S. citizen and longtime friend who was born in Tehran and still has family there. She wrote me about the intentions of the mullahs and their nuclear deal with the U.S. and five other nations: “The mullahs are buying time ... (to) finish their nuclear program. Americans underestimate these people. It will be Hezbollah, ISIS, or al-Qaida doing their dirty work. They will give them the nuclear bomb. They are very shrewd. They’ll sit back and watch.”



More proof

Barry puts his foot down on Chinese hacking













Jinping was so terrified of Barry the minute he returned to China he put an immediate ban on all U.S. hacking!



Seriously, do you think Barry, in-between the egg rolls and Wonton soup, had the balls to even bring up…"hacking". I doubt it. How do you sit down to eat with someone who you know unequivocally is sabotaging the country? I see Barry as just another head of cattle taken to the slaughterhouse. Jinping's got to be thinking...WOW..they even entertain us while we're fucking them. 

Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall if it were Trump?


--------------------------------------



Meanwhile away from the Pomp and Circumstance of Stupidity... at least someone is trying to put a stop to it.


A pair of cyber security sleuths discovered the identity of a Chinese military hacker.



Attribution is difficult in cyberspace. But it's not impossible.

A report this week from the threat intelligence company ThreatConnect and research firm Defense Group, Inc., shows just how effective good old-fashioned detective work can be. The two paired up, issuing a convincing report that allegedly identifies a Chinese military hacker by face and name: one Mr. Ge Xing, a Thai politics expert and member of Unit 78020 of the People's Liberation Army of China, a reconnaissance division.

Fortune spoke to Wade Baker, VP of strategy and analytics at ThreatConnect who worked on the report, a couple of days ago. Initially, his team was tipped off to Ge's alleged illicit activities when they discovered a connection between his social media user names and a malicious domain linked to a hacking campaign targeting China's neighbors in the South China Sea. Each operated under the same alias: "greensky27."

Following that lead, Baker's team continued to dig, looking for more clues, more evidence that might implicate the possible, albeit unassuming, hacker. Eventually, they struck upon a damning correlation: Whenever Ge absconded on vacation, the hacking campaign's infrastructure went dark. "That's what sealed the deal," Baker says. (You can read about that bit in chapter four of the report.)

Ge is, of course, a person. He is, as the Wall Street Journal describes him, "a new father and avid bicyclist who drives a white Volkswagen Golf sedan and occasionally criticizes the government." There are pictures of him online. He has a family, a job, hobbies. He is not just another faceless cyberthief.

"What I find extremely interesting is that you have this man and machine blend that shows you both sides of the adversary," Baker said of the report. "A lot of people forget that there's a person writing that malware, a person controlling that command and control infrastructure."

We should not forget this point. The so-called cyber world does not exist in a vacuum. It has very real, human operatives. Someone pulls the strings.
