Naar aanleiding van de publicatie door Wikileaks van een aantal manieren waarop de CIA kan inbreken op telefoons, computers en zelfs tv’s*, bracht Anti-Media afgelopen woensdag een artikel waarin wordt betoogd, dat de CIA in staat is geweest Rusland te criminaliseren.
Middels software heeft de CIA zaken kunnen laten lekken, of berichten laten publiceren, die niet terug te voeren zijn op de CIA, of zelfs de VS, maar bijvoorbeeld Rusland aanwijzen als dader. Dit noemt men ‘false flag’ operaties, of zoals u al verwachtte ‘valse vlag operaties’.
Die aanwijzingen waren er al lang voordat Wikileaks deze week e.e.a. naar buiten bracht. Eén ding was zeker: Rusland zat niet achter het lekken van Clinton-mails en Rusland heeft de verkiezingen in de VS niet gesaboteerd, zaken die tot op de dag van vandaag worden volgehouden door westerse politici en hun hielenlikkers van de reguliere (afhankelijke) media……. Deze zaken waren terug te voeren naar de VS en nu heeft Wikileaks ook geopenbaard op welke manier dit kon gebeuren………
Zoals gewoonlijk: de VS was en is uiterst misdadig bezig, maar na enige opschudding in de westerse media en politiek, is de boel alweer overgewaaid…….. Als Rusland in deze zaak de schuldige was geweest, had men in de VS en de NAVO al gesproken over een gepaste reactie, waar men eerder een militaire vergelding niet uitsloot……… De reguliere, afhankelijke media in Nederland, hadden ondanks de komende verkiezingen, dit onderwerp nog minstens 1,5 maand uitgemolken………
Hier het artikel van Anti-Media, waar men nog enigszins voorzichtig is, terwijl de schuld voor smerige manipulaties door de CIA (plus NSA en FBI) er dik bovenop ligt:
CIA
Capable of Cyber ‘False Flag’ to Blame Russia
(MPN) Washington,
D.C. – Earlier
today, Wikileaks once again made headlines following its
release of
the “largest
ever publication of U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
documents.” The
massive release – just the first batch in a trove of documents
code-named “Vault 7” by Wikileaks – details the CIA’s global
covert hacking program and its arsenal of weaponized exploits.
While
most coverage thus far has focused on the CIA’s ability to
infiltrate and hack smartphones, smart TVs and several encrypted
messaging applications, another crucial aspect of this latest leak
has been skimmed over – one with potentially far-reaching
geopolitical implications.
According
to a
Wikileaks press release,
the 8,761 newly published files came from the CIA’s Center for
Cyber Intelligence (CCI) in Langley, Virginia. The release says that
the UMBRAGE
group,
a subdivision of the center’s Remote
Development Branch (RDB),
has been collecting and maintaining a “substantial
library of
attack techniques ‘stolen’ from malware produced in other states,
including the Russian Federation.”
As
Wikileaks notes, the UMBRAGE group and its related projects allow the
CIA to misdirect the attribution of cyber attacks by “leaving
behind the ‘fingerprints’ of the very groups that the attack
techniques were stolen from.”
In
other words, the CIA’s sophisticated hacking tools all have a
“signature” marking them as originating from the agency. In order
to avoid arousing suspicion as to the true extent of its covert cyber
operations, the CIA has employed UMBRAGE’s techniques in order to
create signatures that allow multiple attacks to be attributed to
various entities – instead of the real point of origin at the CIA –
while also increasing its total number of attack types.
Other
parts of the release similarly focus on avoiding the attribution of
cyberattacks or malware infestations to the CIA during forensic
reviews of such attacks. In a document titled “Development
Tradecraft DOs and DON’Ts,”
hackers and code writers are warned “DO
NOT leave data in a binary file that demonstrates CIA, U.S.
[government] or its witting partner companies’ involvement in the
creation or use of the binary/tool.” It
then states that “attribution
of binary/tool/etc. by an adversary can cause irreversible impacts to
past, present and future U.S. [government] operations and equities.”
While
a major motivating factor in the CIA’s use of UMBRAGE is to cover
it tracks, events over the past few months suggest that UMBRAGE may
have been used for other, more nefarious purposes. After the outcome
of the 2016 U.S. presidential election shocked many within the U.S.
political establishment and corporate-owned media, the
CIA emerged claiming
that Russia mounted a “covert intelligence operation” to help
Donald Trump edge out his rival Hillary Clinton.
Prior
to the election, Clinton’s campaign had
also accused Russia of
being behind the leak of John Podesta’s emails, as well as the
emails of employees of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Last
December, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper – a man
known for lying
under oath about
NSA surveillance – briefed
senators in a closed-door meeting where
he described findings on Russian government “hacks and other
interference” in the election.
Following
the meeting, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a ranking member of the House
Intelligence Committee, remarked: “After
many briefings by our intelligence community, it is clear to me that
the Russians hacked our democratic institutions and sought to
interfere in our elections and sow discord.”
Incidentally,
the U.S. intelligence community’s assertions that Russia used
cyber-attacks to interfere with the election overshadowed reports
that the U.S. government had actually been responsible for several
hacking attempts that targeted state election systems. For
instance, the
state of Georgia reported numerous
hacking attempts on its election agencies’ networks, nearly all of
which were traced back to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Now
that the CIA has been shown to not only have the capability but also
the express intention of replacing the “fingerprint” of
cyber-attacks it conducts with those of another state actor, the
CIA’s alleged evidence that Russia hacked the U.S. election – or
anything else for that matter – is immediately suspect. There is no
longer any way to determine if the CIA’s proof of Russian hacks on
U.S. infrastructure is legitimate, as it could very
well be a “false flag” attack.
Given
that accusations of Russian government cyber-attacks also coincide
with a
historic low in
diplomatic relations between Russia and the U.S., the CIA’s long
history of using covert means to justify hostile actions against
foreign powers – typically in the name of national security –
once again seems to be in play.
