There's a massive fucking psyop going on at the moment to discredit independent analysis of the Russian evidence.
Most of you will be familiar with the g-2.space work on the G2 Word documents. This analysis is solid and, to my knowledge, hasn't been debunked.
Recently, out of nowhere, a "Forensicator" analysis started getting some interest in the press, and now, all of a sudden, we have half the retired IC vouching for these TWO analyses as a bundle. Yeah, right.
I've been paying close attention to shill comments across the Net, here and elsewhere, and I see what's going on. They've set up an easily debunked second analysis to take down the first.
Notice: NOBODY at all is claiming that DNC files were transferred between the DNC and Russia on July 5, so "proving" transfer speeds to be "too fast" for such a remote transfer is a complete fucking red herring. You know why nobody at all is claiming such a transfer took place? Because if anybody did claim that, they'd be contradicting the official story (see WaPo, CrowdStrike) that has the hackers gone by early June. This is the key point: If anybody WERE claiming such a remote transfer took place, you could screw them over by mentioning the conflicting dates and wouldn't need to analyze transfer speeds at all.
I suspect there are some serious flaws lurking in this second analysis. You'll notice it lacks the clarity of the g-2.space analysis and seems to contain many convolutions and avenues for attack.
They're starting to do what they did with the pedo story: flood it with low-hanging fruit that the press can easily debunk, thereby letting them pretend the entire story is bunk.
Here's the indication to look out for: Watch for a sudden flurry of debunkings in the press that focus on the "Forensicator" work and ignore the g-2.space work. And watch as it's concluded that all independent efforts to undermine the Russian evidence have failed wholesale.
John Stewart
Yeah, but debunking something meant to be debunked is literally fake news. The democrats are taking down the mainstream media along with them?
Dylan Rodriguez
They're aware of the weakness in their narrative: Only CrowdStrike saw the servers. What they fear is the CrowdStrike analysis becoming just an opinion belonging to one asshole in an entire marketplace of opinions.
We've been pushing the g-2.space analysis for a long time, finding all manner of obstacles. Just as it's finally started to break through, up pops some ridiculous "Forensicator" blog that becomes an overnight sensation and motivates all these IC stooges to start firing off letters, even though not a single person has claimed (or would claim) what the blog is "disproving."

12.07.2017 Ukraine sponsored Hillary Clinton using IMF loans
The Ukrainian investigation case connected to commercial banks that laundered IMF's money from the National Bank of Ukraine is still going on. According to the investigation, such banks as Tavrika, Pivdenkom Bank, Avtokraz Bank, CityCommerce Bank, Finrost Bank, Terra Bank, Kyivska Rus Bank, Vernum Bank, Credit Dnepr Bank, Delta Bank were involved in the criminal scheme. Funds were transferred through Austrian Meinl Bank AG.
David Smith
We, CyberBerkut, decided to contribute to the investigation.
Having examined the materials published on the Internet we focused on two financial organizations named Credit Dnepr Bank and Delta Bank. In comparison with other banks these two financial organizations offshored much more money. These banks are closely related to Victor Pinchuk – one of the richest Ukrainian bankers. He is also a son-in-law of former Ukraine's President Leonid Kuchma. As it turns out, the offshore organizations that received IMF's money such as Melfa Group LTD (Belize), Tandice Limited (Cyprus), Tosalan Traiding Limited (Cyprus), Agalusko Investment Limited (Cyprus), Winten Trading LTD (Cyprus), Silisten Trading Limited, Nasterno Commercial Limited, are also connected to this gentleman. Moreover, most of money went to the account of his main money-laundering machine – the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
So, we decided to track down the stolen funds.
We've hacked Thomas Weihe's email. This man is the Head of the Board of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation. As you can see from his correspondence the oligarch's foundation is closely cooperating with the Clinton Foundation. And it is worth to mention that Pinchuk and his wife often meet with former American president's family members. Mr. Weihe regularly communicates with the Clinton Foundation representatives and constantly arranges meetings between the Pinchuks and the Clintons. Here are some Mr Weihe's emails.
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton. By KENNETH P. VOGEL and DAVID STERN 01/11/2017 05:05 AM EST
A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.
Revelations about Ukraine’s anti-Trump efforts could further set back those efforts.
“Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Ukraine,” said David A. Merkel, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who helped oversee U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine while working in George W. Bush’s State Department and National Security Council.
Merkel, who has served as an election observer in Ukrainian presidential elections dating back to 1993, noted there’s some irony in Ukraine and Russia taking opposite sides in the 2016 presidential race, given that past Ukrainian elections were widely viewed in Washington’s foreign policy community as proxy wars between the U.S. and Russia.
“Now, it seems that a U.S. election may have been seen as a surrogate battle by those in Kiev and Moscow,” Merkel said.
•••
The Ukrainian antipathy for Trump’s team — and alignment with Clinton’s — can be traced back to late 2013. That’s when the country’s president, Viktor Yanukovych, whom Manafort had been advising, abruptly backed out of a European Union pact linked to anti-corruption reforms. Instead, Yanukovych entered into a multibillion-dollar bailout agreement with Russia, sparking protests across Ukraine and prompting Yanukovych to flee the country to Russia under Putin’s protection.

Josiah Wood
Washington is a nest of lobbyists. ... Even Russian billionaire Oleg deripaska was paying big money to lobby to be allowed to travel to the US... But this election was a slithering incest of Clintons, DNC, McCain and others trying to solidify their positions after the 2014 Ukrainian coup, when the US overthrew the Ukrainian govt. This is not conspiracy theory... It is openly acknowledged as "the most blatant coup in history". The coup cost $5billion to fund. The US thought it would get the Russian warm sea port at Sevastopol by taking over Ukraine... But Crimea is Russian. Russia has fought wars since the 1700s to gain Crimea. Russia will never relinquish a piece of Russian territory. Sevastopol has been a Russian naval base for 200 years. And the yanks thought they'd just take it with a coup. Nice try. Nyet said Putin.
Aaron Sanchez

Nathaniel Gomez
Yeah it is more complicated than that but I agree mostly. Ive been to east Ukraine and Crimea for work and almost all and I mean almost ALL were pro Russia and even identified as Russian and fucking hated the west Ukrainians. Putin only really needed to just supply the arms and a bit of agitiprop and the whole thing woulda been easy.
In assessing the Obama administration’s role in the Ukraine crisis, perhaps it might be worth asking a number of questions along similar lines.
Was it worth it?
It would be difficult to answer in the affirmative. While the goals of the protesters in Kiev were indeed met, the aftermath suggests that an alternative solution similar to the one Vladimir Putin suggested to the German chancellor in the lead-up to the Vilnius summit could have and should have been pursued. On the one hand, Kiev got its Association Agreement. On the other hand, the costs of the ensuring crisis are staggeringly high: roughly 4,100 war dead, thousands more wounded, nearly 1 million people displaced, the loss of Crimea and the de facto partition of Ukraine. Further, a new Cold War between the U.S. and Russia is now well underway while intra-European comity is beginning to fray over whether or not to continue the sanctions regime against Russia.
Who in the Obama administration has been held to account?
For helping to engineer the worst foreign policy debacle since the second Iraq war, and possibly—though it is still too early to say—since Vietnam, not one of the President’s men or women have been called to account. As of this writing key members of the national security team and the principal architects of our Russia/Ukraine policy, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, UN Ambassador Samantha Power, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, and CIA Director John Brennan, remain firmly ensconced in their posts. And for his part, Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken was just promoted to Deputy Secretary of State.
Adam Sanders
Source: "Forbes" The European Union Isn't Going To Bail Out Ukraine
The United States and its European allies share most of the responsibility for the crisis. The taproot of the trouble is NATO enlargement, the central element of a larger strategy to move Ukraine out of Russia’s orbit and integrate it into the West. At the same time, the EU’s expansion eastward and the West’s backing of the pro-democracy movement in Ukraine -- beginning with the Orange Revolution in 2004 -- were critical elements, too. Since the mid-1990s, Russian leaders have adamantly opposed NATO enlargement, and in recent years, they have made it clear that they would not stand by while their strategically important neighbor turned into a Western bastion. For Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected and pro-Russian president -- which he rightly labeled a “coup” -- was the final straw. He responded by taking Crimea, a peninsula he feared would host a NATO naval base, and working to destabilize Ukraine until it abandoned its efforts to join the West.
Putin’s pushback should have come as no surprise. After all, the West had been moving into Russia’s backyard and threatening its core strategic interests, a point Putin made emphatically and repeatedly. Elites in the United States and Europe have been blindsided by events only because they subscribe to a flawed view of international politics.
But this grand scheme went awry in Ukraine. The crisis there shows that realpolitik remains relevant -- and states that ignore it do so at their own peril. U.S. and European leaders blundered in attempting to turn Ukraine into a Western stronghold on Russia’s border. Now that the consequences have been laid bare, it would be an even greater mistake to continue this misbegotten policy.

Ukraine - paying three times more for American coal - EIA
The US has almost tripled the price for coal shipped to Ukraine in the first quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2016, according to a report by the US Energy Information Administration.
Kiev has been buying US coal at $206 per short ton since January through March, which is almost triple the $71 the US billed last year.
At the same time, sales of American coal to Ukraine have more than doubled. The US shipped 865,000 tons of coal to Ukraine in the first quarter of the year against 355,100 tons bought during the first quarter of 2016.
At the same time, the price for US coal to Norway dropped around 10 percent from $140 to $125 per short ton.
Ukraine faced massive disruption at plants using anthracite coal after the railways leading to the breakaway Donbass region were blocked by Kiev-backed militant groups. 1/2

Ukraine - paying three times more for American coal - EIA
The price hike will lead to a decline in Ukraine’s revenue with massive layoffs in the steelmaking sector that directly depends on coal supplies, according to Vyacheslav Holodkov from the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies.
“As Ukraine stopped purchasing coal from the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, most of the anthracite coal is imported. Metal works need more. The extra cost coal will increase the price of the steelmakers’ product, making it less competitive. One way or another it will hit Ukraine’s economy,” the expert said.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the country was due to buy two millions tons of coal from the US state of Pennsylvania.
Ukraine reportedly rejected South African coal as it turned out to be too expensive, while Russia was rejected for political reasons.

US state department spokestwat, Jen Psaki, was known for her strange statements. Some of her most famous incidents are to do with Russia. Psaki called it a "provocation" that the Russian military, were carrying out exercises in the Astrakhan region.

Similarly, she vowed to bring the US Navy to "patrol the shores of Belarus" (Belarus is of course landlocked.)
Huffington Post | POLITICS 12/15/2013 07:25 pm ET | Updated Feb 14, 2014 John McCain Visits Ukraine, Meets With Daughter Of Imprisoned Opposition Leader | Agence France Presse “This morning the daughter of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, Yevgenia... held a meeting with US Senator John McCain,” Tymoshenko’s Batkyvschina party said in a statement on its website on Sunday.
McCain raised “the possibility of bringing in personal sanctions against senior officials in (President Viktor) Yanukovych’s regime, including those implicated in the politically motivated persecution and jailing of Yulia Tymoshenko,” the party said.
He also viewed Kiev’s central Independence Square occupied by thousands of protesters after arriving with Democratic Senator Chris Murphy.
Tymoshenko’s party said that “American senators” were expected to attend a mass rally gathered by opposition leaders on Sunday.
Tymoshenko, the charismatic leader of the 2004 Orange Revolution, is serving a prison sentence for abuse of power after a trial internationally condemned as an act of political revenge by Yanukovych against his arch-foe.
McCain also backed personal sanctions against those involved in violent police crackdowns on opposition protesters in Kiev, the statement in Ukrainian said.

Ukraine: Over half a million Ukrainians looking forward to Russian citizenship
Thursday, July 13, 2017
About 600,000 Ukrainians are waiting for the decision on granting them Russian citizenship, First Deputy Interior Minister of the Russian Federation, Alexander Gorovoi, said on Wednesday.
Russian legislation suggests a simplified procedure for the entry into the citizenship of the Russian Federation of foreign citizens who are native speakers of the Russian language.
But, in order to exercise this right, they must obtain the consent of a foreign state to withdraw from their citizenship and submit an appropriate document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
"Today, according to our estimates, our agenda comprises about 600 thousand Ukrainians who have come to the territory of the Russian Federation and are expecting this issue to be solved.
They have already integrated themselves, brought children and are managing everyday life, and we need to take this decision promptly," Gorovoi said at the plenary meeting of the State Duma when discussing amendments simplifying the process of obtaining Russian citizenship by the Ukrainians.
"The Government of Ukraine deliberately does not respond and does not accept requests (on withdrawal from citizenship) and documents that citizens of Ukraine send to the competent authorities," he stressed.
On Wednesday, the State Duma adopted amendments that simplify the process of obtaining citizenship and residence permits in the Russian Federation for Ukrainians.
From now on it will be sufficient for them to sign an application for the renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship, a corresponding certificate from the authorized bodies of Ukraine will not be required.

Guccifer - the original sentenced to 52 months in prison for exposing Hillary Clinton’s private email server
Guccifer exposed Hillary Clinton's private email domain when she was U.S. Secretary of State.
Romanian hacker best known as “Guccifer” has been sentenced to to 52 months in prison by a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
Not to be confused with Guccifer 2, the original Guccifer is a Romanian hacker named Marcel Lazar.
Guccifer exposed Hillary Clinton’s private email domain when she was U.S. Secretary of State. The hack set off a constant flow of Hillary email hacks and leaks that to this day continue to plague the Clinton campaign, and show no sign of ever letting up.
In an NBC interview in May, Guccifer claimed that he also gained access to the former Secretary of State’s “completely unsecured” server. “It was like an open orchid on the Internet,” Lazar told NBC News. “There were hundreds of folders.” What is curious is that according to Reuters, law enforcement and national security officials said that claim is meritless.
Of course, the question arises: just how diligently did national security officials probe Guccifer’s claim: the reason to be skeptical is that if this allegation was confirmed, then the FBI’s entire case against Clinton would collapse, as it would be proven that her server was indeed hacked, something the FBI said there was no evidence ever happened, and lead to renewed questioning about the impartiality of the FBI’s probe......
>As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
>And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock
Michael Caputo was sent to Russia in 1994 by Bill Clinton. His job was to make sure Yeltsin won elections.

In addition, Renaissance Capital turned up that same year as a major donor, along with Mr. Giustra and several companies linked to Uranium One or UrAsia, to a small medical charity in Colorado run by a friend of Mr. Giustra’s. In a newsletter to supporters, the friend credited Mr. Giustra with helping get donations from “businesses around the world.” (nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html)

From: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] CC: [email protected] Date: 2012-04-16 18:56 Subject: Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, Rwanda Last Thursday, April 12, I met individually with the Ambassadors from Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, and Rwanda, in Washington, DC. Below is a summary of key points from each meeting, and we are following-up on each point. I’d welcome your feedback.
Sincerely, Ami
QATAR – Would like to see WJC “for five minutes” in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC’s birthday in 2011. – Qatar would welcome our suggestions for investments in Haiti – particularly on education and health. They have allocated most of their $20 million but are happy to consider projects we suggest. I’m collecting input from CF Haiti team.
Wyatt Carter
WikiLeaks published documents which disclosed the emir of Qatar presented Bill Clinton with a $1 million check for the Clinton Foundation as a gift for his 65th birthday. During Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, Qatar reportedly contributed some $6m. to the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton, for her part, was deeply supportive of the regime and of Al Jazeera. For instance, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2011, Clinton praised Al Jazeera for its leading role in fomenting and expanding the protests in Egypt that brought down Mubarak.
Clinton wasn’t the only one that Qatar singled out for generosity. Since the 1990s, Qatar has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in US universities. Six major US universities have campuses in Doha.
Then there is the Brookings Institution. The premier US think tank had a revolving door relationship with the Obama and Clinton administrations.
In 2014, The New York Times reported that Brookings, which opened a branch in Doha in 2002, had received millions of dollars in contributions from Qatar. In 2013 alone, the Qatari regime contributed $14.8 million to Brookings.Not surprisingly, Brookings’ scholars supported the overthrow of Mubarak, and supported the Muslim Brotherhood regime during its year in power. Brookings scholars urged the Obama administration to cut off military assistance to Egypt after the military overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013.
Brookings scholars have similarly written sympathetically of Qatar and its ally Turkey. As the Investigative Project on Terrorism revealed in a four-part series on Brookings’ relations with Qatar in 2014, Brookings’ scholars ignored human rights abuses by Qatar and praised Turkey’s Erdogan regime as behaving like the US in enabling religion to have a role in public life. Given that Trump is not aligned with Brookings, the Clinton Foundation or US academia, it could be argued that he is not beholden to Qatari money in any way.
