Ukraine-Trump-Putin

THIS IS MY BELIEF

Twitler wants us to concentrate on the Biden story, when the real story is that the call was really about getting Ukraine to withdraw their military fron Donbas, an area of which Putin wants control.   I am sure that this discussion was set up in previous contacts between the two sides.

I am sure he would love something on Biden, but he knows that it was already investigated and timelines didn't match up nor did anything else.  The prosecutor and Biden is code for withdrawing, the same as adoption was a code word for dropping sanctions.

The Biden conspiracy was brought to us by Robert Mercer backed Peter Schweitzer, the man behind the thoroughly debunked Clinton Cash.   Schweitzer admitted the book Clinton Cash was nothing but unsubstantiated conspiracy theories put together with no evidence for any of it to take Clinton down.   These conspiracy theories also had time lines  that didn't match up.   Mercer was the money behind Ted Cruz, when he dropped out Mercer backed Twitler.  Fox News makes sure time lines are skewed in their reports so their audience has no clue that they don't jive, worse, they don't care.  Fox News said it was so and they believe everything Fox New propaganda that is fed to them.  It is a great  example of brainwashing and Fox News is a cult,  Jim Jones, L. Ron Hubbard and more recently Warren Jeffs and Keith Rainere would all be proud of their abilities in this area. 


A reminder,since they are putting the same spin on this, the Steele Dossier, was comissioned by The Washington Free Beacon, a right wing newspaper that was attempting to keep Twitler from being the confirmed GOP Nominee.  They offered to the Clinton Campaign after Twitler was the official nominee, hoping he would not be President.  The GOP fairytale that Clinton commissioned Steele, a foreign citizen, to dig up dirt on Twitler is propaganda.  The Washington Free Beacon commissioned an American company to do the work, they hired Steele, a former MI6 agent, because Steele had many top rated Russian connections to get information from.  These Russians were arrested after Twitler gave Putin their names, probably during the Oval Office meeting with representatives of Putin, the same time he gave them Israei Intel that was entrusted to the USA.  It was right after this meeting that the multiple arrests began.

Twitler owes the Russian Oligarchs hundreds of millions of dollars. Possibly billions and they control Trump,'s every move.  Everything should be viewed through a lens of how will this benefit Putin or an Oligarch.

McConnell was paid by Deripaska, for the GOP voting to drop the sanctions against him.  His reward. A large brand new aluminum plant for Deripaska's Aluminum Company with jobs in a depressed area.

The rich get what they want from almost every country if you contact the right people.

China, Russia and the GOP Long Game

China and Russia, like the GOP, has been playing the long game.

China gained it's new start when Great Britain returned Hong Kong, a major international port and business center back to China. Even though they were to be autonomous for a long period, Hong Kong was a good place to start.

Then the US companies, who were making millions, moved their manufacturing to China to feed their and their stockholders greedy pockets. This infused China with a lot of money. It also gave China the chance to steal our intellectual property, then turn around and make knock offs to sell and make billions. China sends their kids to college in the US and they get jobs in our tech companies. India does this too. Then they move back home taking their education, training and knowledge from their jobs to China to use to advance themselves.

Meanwhile China is building military and satellite bases around the world, surrounding us and at vital places. They are building a military base at one end of the Panama Canal, where they can spy on and possibly disrupt and control traffic going through the canal. The are building islands and bases in the South China Sea to do the same thing. They are filling the void we used to fill in propping up poor countries, while the GOP has been catering to the ultra rich, not to those who need it the most.

While all of this is going on, China also holds the majority of our country's debt, which they can demand repayment of at any time.

Meanwhile Moscow Mitch and his wife and her connections have their fingers in our government. Then add in the GOP being owned by the companies doing business in China, making them all richer while citizens here and in China are all just something to be used to make them all richer.

Then you have Russia destroying Democracy around the world. This all adds up to basically the mobs of the world joining together to run a world wide criminal enterprise including human trafficking and drugs.

China is flooding our country with fentanyl to reek havoc on our population, deaths are a bonus for them. Smaller population, easier to control.

If they get what they all want, the only thing left is the fight between Russia and China for total control, unless China jumps on them first. Right now they have been working together manipulating Twitler and influencing our interactions with North Korea etc., but that won't last when it comes to the final power grab.

I told people what Twitler was all about and what he would do working for Putin back in 2015. Sadly it has played out so far just as I said it would, though I was hoping that some of the GOP would have a backbone and stand up to him.  I wish I had posted all of my predictions here the instead of just social media and comments on articles.  Here it would all be laid out in one place.


Twitler is trying to escalate his part as he now sees even with the help of Russia and the GOP, he will likely lose in 2020, so he needs to finish his part before then. When he first became our unelected President, he tried to push quickly, but the pushback was so great that he had to slow it down. Remember he said on inauguration day that Breitbart was going to be the only media outlet that he would deal with. That blew up in his face along with him saying he had the largest crowd etc. If you out go back and look at what he and his people said and did right away was total authoritarian moves which they got clobbered over. They decided that by going slowly their base and many other Americans would start to normalize what they are doing, they were right to an extent. Many of us saw right through his BS and many of his first picks for vital positions pushed back. Now he has found the right sycophants to surround himself with and there is nobody willing to stop him anymore.

If we don't do something soon, it will be too late. Many have been too distracted by BS, social media and YouTube videos for them to see what is really going on around them, or even care until it is way too late.

This is a article from an online Russian media site that was started while the founder was a student at in the USA. This is an article about The Russians that were all at once arrested last year after the Dossier by Christopher Steel was found and after the USA found out about Russia hacking our election. This is from December 2017.

 
The detainee in the case of state treason, the FSB colonel, Sergei Mikhailov
and three of his comrades are involved in the leakage of information about attacks on the
servers of the United States Democratic Party - at least, according to sources familiar
with the arrested The Bell. With these hacker attacks, the loudest scandal about Russia's
interference in US elections began.

What are the suspects involved in the case of the government

Colonel of the FSB Sergey Mikhailov was arrested exactly one year ago
- December 5, 2016. Employees of the FSB Investigation Department detained
Mikhailov in his own office and withdrew from there with a bag on his head.
He has a black belt in karate, and his colleagues feared that he would resist,
explains one of the Colonel's acquaintances.

 Prior to the arrest, Mikhailov was the head of the 2nd Directorate of the Information Security Center (FSB) of the FSBand was considered one of the key experts in cybercrime in the Russian special services. Now he is accused of state treason.

Together with Mikhailov this year in Lefortovo prison, in nine-meter cells without hot water, three of his acquaintances and defendants of the same case conducted. With two of them, Mikhailov was familiar for at least ten years, and worked with the third one: he was a former employee of Kaspersky Lab Ruslan Stoyanov, a little-known Internet entrepreneur Georgy Fomchenkov and FSB major Dmitry Dokuchaev. 

The testimony of detainees is not available to the public due to the
fact that their case is classified as a state secret. "Four men were hidden from
everyone so that they could not say anything more," says attorney Ivan Pavlov, who
represents the interests of one of the defendants in the criminal case. 

The Bell correspondent managed to communicate with three people who were personally
acquainted with the defendants in the case of the state treason, and to find out
what, in their opinion, was the real reason for their persecution. 

Two of the interlocutors of The Bell in Russia say that they helped the US intelligence
services get evidence of Russian hackers' involvement in last year's attacks in
the United States.  Another person familiar with the course of the investigation confirmed that the arrest of Mikhailov and his comrades is connected with the elections in the United States. 

The prosecution of Mikhailov and other defendants was the Russian military intelligence service - the GRU (now called the General Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation),say the two. American intelligence agencies believe that it was the GRU last year that oversaw the attack on the servers of the National Committee of the Democratic Party. The administration of Barack Obama extended personal sanctions to the leaders of the GRU. 

According to one of the interlocutors of The Bell, the accused disclosed to the Americans the hackers who participated in the hacking. 

Confirm information that Mikhailov and other accused participated in the transfer of data on the attack on DNC from the American side, The Bell failed. But that the arrest could be related to these events, in January, wrote The New York Times. Information
about what they did, the newspaper was not. But two American officials, former and current,
told the publication that the United States had sources in Russia and that they played a
"key role" in that the US intelligence services were able to prove who was behind these
attacks. Who were these sources, the interlocutors of NYT did not disclose. 

"I have never seen any direct evidence of Russia's interference in the US
presidential election. We talked about this with former President Obama, we talked with
some other officials - no one showed me any direct evidence " 

Vladimir Putin 
NBC. June, 2017

The lawyers of the defendants do not comment on the circumstances of the case, but they
deny that their clients committed the state treason.

What is known about attacks

The fact that behind the hacking of the servers of the National Committee of the
Democratic Party (DNC) is exactly the GRU, was officially announced in January 2017 -
in a report under which, in fact, the entire US intelligence community signed. But the US
intelligence services published only part of this secret document, and there was no direct
evidence of Russia's involvement in the attack. At the request of The Bell, the Office of
the Director of National Intelligence of the United States did not respond.

Because of hacking in the open access were tens of thousands of documents and letters from the functionaries of the Democratic Party and supporters of Hillary Clinton. Clinton himself in public statements repeatedly claimed that if it were not for "Russian hackers", the
victory in the elections would remain for her. The confidence of the representatives of the
emocratic Party, backed up by the report of the special services, gave the start to the
most powerful anti-Russian sentiments in the United States since the fall of the Soviet Union. The Russian authorities have consistently denied interference. 

The existence of state-sponsored cyber groups is no secret, they are in many countries,
says Kaspersky Lab's antivirus expert Denis Legezo. Russia is no exception: there are
scattered, point groups of hackers in the arsenal of its special services, there are a lot
of them and they are scattered around the world, a source close to the Russian authorities
and familiar with the device of this system tells. The main role in this direction,
according to him, in recent years began to win over the GRU.

 But it is impossible to understand who organized the last year's attack on DNC, by technical signs alone, four cybersecurity experts with whom we communicated. To establish that the attack was directly GRU, the Americans needed sources, and preferably - with access to state secrets, says one of them. 

Colonel FSB Mikhailov had such access, and he was well-informed about the activities of the GRU, one of his acquaintances states. At the same time, the relationsbetween the special services on the cyberfront were tense. The FSB and the GRU compete for the budget, says the source of The Bell, and confirms the former officer of the bodies.
Hackers were in charge of both special services, but Mikhailov believed that the FSB is
doing it more professionally. He said that "the GRU breaks the servers brazenly, clumsily
and rudely, it interfered with the work of its department," the Colonel's friend tells.
"Traces of attacks by the GRU have always been visible."

The confrontation between the GRU and the FSB is also mentioned in the report of American company Crowdstrike - it was she who last year ordered DNC to investigate attacks on its servers. On the outcome of its work Crowdstrike announced in June 2016 (the US intelligence services for the first time confirmed the company's findings that Russia was allegedly involved in the attacks, only in October).

The main sensation of the investigation of Crowdstrike was that the DNC servers,
as it turned out, were cracked not one but twice. For the first time this happened in the
summer of 2015, when a successful attack on DNC was conducted by a group of hackers, which Crowdstrike associated with the FSB. But this operation was carried out so neatly, that almost a year DNC employees did not even know about it. The next attack, according to
Crowdstrike, was conducted in the spring of 2016 and was allegedly carried out by order of
the GRU. It was noticed by the American special services and warned by DNC.


"We know that Russian intelligence has cracked the DNC, we know that they organized the
publication of a huge number of letters, and we know that Donald Trump expressed a very
disturbing readiness to support Putin"

Hillary Clinton Reuters.
July, 2016 

Crowdstrike also came to the conclusion that both attacks were carried out independently of
each other, which means that Russian special services, in fact, competed with each other.
We tried to find out from the founder of Crowdstrike Dmitry Alperovich how his company was able to distinguish FSB hackers from the GRU hackers, but he did not answer the questions of The Bell. 

It is unclear whether Mikhailov could have been the source of Alperovich. Interlocutor The Bell, who is familiar with one of the defendants, claims that Mikhailov
through intermediaries transmitted some information about hacker attacks namely Crowdstrike.  But we could not confirm this.

At the same time, it is known that in the past, Mikhailov had contacted directly with the employees of foreign special services. Unlike many siloviki,
he could freely travel abroad to participate in conferences and events on cybersecurity,
two of his acquaintances tell. 

Mikhailov shared with colleagues abroad data on Russian hackers involved in financial
crimes, recognize the two acquaintances of the accused. In total, he transmitted this
information up to ten times, one of them asserts. The mediator in a number of cases was his
longtime friend Ruslan Stoyanov. But they did not give away any state secrets, both of them
insist. Many Russian hackers have an unspoken attitude not to engage in crime at home
- "not to work in Russia." And on request foreign countries even the biggest burglars
Russian authorities rarely give out. Mikhailov and Stoyanov, according to the interlocutors
of The Bell, secretly assisted foreign intelligence agencies in such cases. 

Mention of joint investigations by the FSB FSB, where Mikhailov served, and the FBI is even
found in open sources - for example, in court documents on the case of Roman Seleznev's son Roman, who was sentenced to 27 years in the United States for hacking bank accounts this year. At the interrogation, Seleznev also talked about his "roof in the FSB FSB". The
Dozhd television channel claimed that it was the group of Mikhailov who had transferred
information about the location of Seleznev to Western intelligence agencies. In addition,
in 2014-2017, at least two Russian programmers, Petr Levashov and Stanislav Lisov, as well as Russian citizens Mark Vartanyan and Yevgeny Nikulin, were detained on charges of crimes in the US. 

A former US government official who has repeatedly met with Mikhailov and
exchanged information with him, which was of mutual interest to the authorities of Russia
and the United States, describes him as "aggressive, young, smart but illegible in choosing
the means" of a person. He also claims that Mikhailov, in his opinion, was involved in\
cases that clearly went beyond his powers in the service, but what he is talking about -
he does not specify. 

Behind Mikhailov and other persons involved in the case, the Russian
special services watched roughly from April 2016, says one of the interlocutors of The Bell.
The fact that "from the Russian side" they were being watched, another source close to
high-ranking US intelligence personnel knows. 

The attack on DNC, as claimed by Crowdstrike, occurred in March. Eight months later,
Mikhailov and his comrades were detained, and a couple of weeks after that, just before
New Year's Eve, the outgoing administration of Barack Obama introduced new anti-Russian
sanctions, this time - not related to Ukraine.

How the Russian hackers attacked the United States

In early January, 2017, US intelligence agencies published a joint report on the results
of the investigation of hacker attacks during the presidential campaign. They came to the
following conclusions:

Attacks

US intelligence officials said that, in their view, hacker attacks on the US were
sanctioned personally.

Vladimir Putin

Executor: FSB

Date of the attack: 

July 2015 

The hacker group Cozy Bear, allegedly linked to the FSB, successfully attacked the servers
of the National Committee of the Democratic Party (DNC). The attack passed without a
trace - throughout the year no one even suspected about it.

Executor: 

GRU 

Date of the attack: 

March 2016 

The Fancy Bear hacker group, highly likely to be linked to the GRU, repeatedly attacked the
DNC servers.

The attack had great consequences because of the "drain" of stolen documents and
correspondence.

Draining

DCLeaks.com 

This site appeared in June 2016. At the same time, documents stolen from DNC began to
appear openly and they were also distributed through WikiLeaks and the media.

Guccifer 2.0

A portion of documents DNC published and broadcast in the media person under the nickname Guccifer 2.0, who self-proclaimed himself Romanian hacker responsible for hacking. US intelligence agencies believe that Giccifer 2.0 acted in the interests of the GRU.

Outcomes 

- December 2016 year. Barack Obama in connection with the hacker attacks imposed new sanctions against Russia and sent 35 Russian diplomats. 

- Under the sanctions were: FSB, GRU (four of its leaders), as well as two hackers Alexei
Belan and Yevgeny Bogachev.

 - From published materials DNC followed that the committee, contrary to the rules,
supported Hillary Clinton to the detriment of another candidate - Bernie Sanders. 

- After the publication of this information, the head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigned, and many supporters of the party got involved in Clinton.

 - A few weeks before the election, WikiLeaks began publishing the stolen by hackers
correspondence head of Clinton's staff John Podesta.

 - In total, about 60 thousand of his letters appeared in the open access, which gave a good
idea of how the internal kitchen of the Democratic Party's presidential campaign is
arranged. 

- After losing in the election, Hillary Clinton repeatedly stated that "Russian hackers"
and numerous "plums" deprived her of victory. 

Under the sanctions for interference in the American elections, both the FSB and the GRU
fell, but personal sanctions were imposed only against the intelligence leadership: GRU
chief Igor Korobov and his three deputies. At the same time, two hackers - Alexey Belan
and Yevgeny Bogachev, long sought by the FBI - got into the sanctions lists. On the
question of The Bell about whether they were related to DNC hacking, a representative of
the US Treasury (this agency is responsible for sanctions) did not respond.

How to start the business of state change Formally, the charge against Mikhailov and the rest is in no way connected with the possible leakage of data about hackers or about last year's attacks, three of The Bell's interlocutors, close to the investigation, say. 

"In my opinion, this is ridiculous. I do not believe this. They do not know for sure
whether it was done by Russia, or China, or else by someone sitting in their own bed "

Donald Trump Fox News. 

December, 2016 

 According to their data, the defendants of the case are charged with the fact that at least
since 2007, for money, they provided US intelligence services with operational and search
documents related to the activities of the businessman, owner of Chronopay payment service Pavel Vrublevsky. To accomplish this task, Mikhailov, Dokuchaev and Stoyanov were allegedly involved in the fourth defendant in the case of the state treason, namely Georgi Fomchenkov, the Bell's interlocutors state. Reuters agency in February wrote that
Fomchenkov earlier also worked in the FSB, but almost nothing is known about the details
of his biography. According to the prosecution, on instructions Mikhailova, his subordinate
Dmitry Dokuchaev provided operative-search materials to US intelligence services, the
transfer was through Stoyanov.

Mikhailov and Vrublevsky can be called enemies. In 2011, Vrublevsky was imprisoned for
three years on charges of hacking a competing payment system, through which Aeroflot
flights were booked (Vrublevsky denies all accusations in his address). The main witness of
the charge against him was Mikhailov. But even before getting to prison, Vrublevsky
instructed his subordinates, including the former employee of the Foreign Intelligence
Service (DF), Dmitry Burykh, to collect dirt on Mikhailov. Brown, who now works at the
Russian Institute for Strategic Initiatives under the former director of the SVR, Mikhail
Fradkov, confirmed this information to The Bell. 

The accusation against Mikhailov and the rest of the defendants about the state treason was partly based on this compromising evidence almost ten years ago, the two sources say. 

Burykh says that in 2010 he "managed to find out that Mikhailov closely cooperated with
Western special services." In a note written for Vrublevsky, it is said that Mikhailov
allegedly "transmitted information about Russian cybercriminals who refused to cooperate
with him, <...> a US citizen." In particular, Mikhailov allegedly gave her information
about hacker attacks in Estonia and Georgia in 2007-2008. Burykh claims that he collected
information from open sources and through acquaintances, and said that he personally
drafted a scheme according to which information as of 2010 went to the United States.

From this scheme it follows that Mikhailov passed on information to his friend Ruslan
Stoyanov, then through an intermediary, the data went to the employee of the American
company iDefense Intelligence Kimberly Zenz, and then to the head of this organization and
to the US Department of Defense. 

Details in the materials described only the figure of Zenz, an American expert on
cybersecurity. It followed that in the career of Zentz was built around investigations
related to Russia. According to Burykh, in the early 2000s Zenz lived in Russia for several
years, she is fluent in Russian, and also in German and Persian languages.

We tried to contact the persons indicated in the scheme. William Lynn, who until 2011
worked as US Deputy Secretary of State for Security, and Rick Howard, who until 2012 headed IDefense, did not answer our questions. Zentz refused to communicate, but in February, in an interview with Reuters, she denied everything that was described by Vrublevsky. "I do not work for the CIA, I never gave them information and was not a government agent of any state," said Zenz RBC. 

In 2010, Vrublevsky transferred the collected materials to the FSB, but then his report
about Mikhailov impressed nobody, recalls Dmitry Artimovich, co-owner of Chronopay.
Compromising for a long time no one was interested, but a year ago Vrublevsky suddenly
became a witness of the accusation in the case of Mikhailov. In fact, there is information
that in 2010 and 2012 in Canada and the US Stoyanov, at the request of his friend
Mikhailov, allegedly handed over to American intelligence services information from the
hacked Vrublevsky servers, three sources say The Bell. In fact, it was the usual exchange
of operational development data, and now it is presented as the disclosure of state secrets,
Mikhailov's friend is indignant. Vrublevsky comments for this article did not provide. 

"The article on state change is rubber enough, the disposition of this article is so broad
that it can include any consulting and other assistance to a foreign party that can be
regarded by the investigation as a threat to Russia's security," says attorney Sergei
Badamshin. 

To expect the appearance in the indictment of information that Mikhailov and other persons
involved in the case might have known something about the hacker attack in the United States is definitely not worth it, because indirectly this would confirm Russia's participation
in this attack, says Andrei Soldatov, co-author of the book "The Battle for Runet ".
Mikhailov and other defendants in the case on state treason, due to their competence,
knew too much about the not always unequivocal relations between special services and
cybercriminals, and at the same time they had extensive contacts with Western cyber
experts, he argues. Regardless of whether they actually gave state secrets or not, this
turns them into "people who are best kept locked up" - at least while the investigation of
Russia's interference in the American elections is underway, he concludes. 

What was the motive?

An unequivocal answer to the question of why Mikhailov and the other accused so closely cooperated with Western special services, we do not. LifeNews wrote that $ 12 million was allegedly found in Mikhailov's country house, but Mikhailov's lawyer Ruslan Golenkov and the wife of the accused Anna Mogilina called this information slander. "Are they from him doing Colonel Zakharchenko?" - Mogilina is indignant and threatens to publish by court. 

One of the interlocutors of The Bell says that Stoianov received as a mediator for the transfer of information a very small reward - a few thousand dollars maximum, more Mikhailov. But we could not confirm these data in other sources. The defendants' lawyersdeny that they sold information. According to Mogilina, nothing but a joint modest apartment in Lublino and an unfinished house in the Klin district of the Moscow region,her family does not. The former spouse of Colonel Natalia Mikhailova goes to the Moscow Regional Court together with Mogilina, to communicate with her The Bell failed. According
to the EGRP, in joint ownership with Mikhailov she had three apartments in Mytishchi.
Mikhailov himself owned the apartment on Profsoyuznaya Street until last year. 

Did Mikhailov have third-party sources of income? According to Golenkov, his client has
been connected with the authorities for 25 years - since the moment he entered the Academy of the Federal Security Service. But, as explained by The Bell, in the past, Mikhailov could have additional income. At least since 1999, he was listed as an employee of RBC's media holding. About this story, with varying degrees of detail, we were told at once by five sources familiar with Mikhailov and close to the former owners of the media holding. From their words it follows that in RBC Mikhailov arranged for acquaintance, through the subordinated siloviki Semenikhin Institute (part of his building rents a media holding). One of the interlocutors heard that Mikhailov worked in RBC approximately until 2009, and that this was a kind of increase in his salary in the FSB (it is interesting that in the
same company for some time he was listed and collected compromising evidence on Mikhailov Dmitry Burykh).

The main motive that forced Mikhailov to share information about hackers
with Western intelligence agencies was the fight against crime, the Colonel's friend
insists. One of Kaspersky Lab's employees characterizes Stoyanov as a "romantic idealist":
"He just saw that bad things were happening and tried to fight them." The acquaintance of
Stoyanov says that he had known Mikhailov for a long time and helped him in friendship. 

What links Mikhailov and other defendants in the case

Ruslan Stoyanov was born in 1975 in Taganrog. Like Mikhailov, he was detained on
December 5. On this day, he was going to go on a business trip to China and even managed to send his wife an SMS that "zachechinilsya" for the flight, but could not fly. In
Kaspersky Lab, where Stoyanov at that time worked, he was not immediately informed about his arrest. It's just that "a person has disappeared, there is no one," Eugene Kasperskyrecalled in an interview with Kommersant. After the detention, a representative of
Kaspersky Lab told the media that "this case has nothing to do with the company's
activities." 

"You know, it's like in American cinema - there are bad cops, there are good ones," says
Anton Shingaryov, vice-president of Kaspersky Lab. - Ruslan produced the impression of a
fairly correct character. He was a professional employee, he had no complaints against him." Stoyanov's lawyer, Alexander Gusak, calls his client "a real patriot." "A true patriot"
calls Sergey Mikhailov and his lawyer

Golenkov. Stoyanov, who graduated from the Pedagogical Institute in the mid-1990s, was supposed to teach geography and ecology. He writes about this himself in letters from the cell to Lefortovo, the content of which was available to the correspondent of The Bell. In the
Department of Environmental Militia of Moscow, he settled in 1998. After a couple of years
it was disbanded, Stoyanov moved to the city's Office for Combating High-Tech Crime. There he started intersect with Kaspersky's employees, and then - went to work for them as head of the investigation department of computer incidents. "Ruslan was a man who played an important role in the cooperation of Kaspersky Lab and law enforcement agencies. To avoid misunderstandings - it is about the bodies of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are engaged in the investigation of cybercrime, "- said the representative of the company. 

Stoyanov met Mikhailov during his service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Judging by
the data collected by the Browns at the request of Pavel Vrublevsky, this occurred at least
ten years ago. Mikhailov's wife confirmed The Bell that they were good friends with
Stoyanov.

Name: 
Georgy Fomchenkov

Age: 
about 40 years "

He supposedly served in the FSB."

- Was related to the creation of payment service whitebill.com, popular among webmasters
of sites with pornography and spammers.

 - According to sources, he supplied security services with hackers to carry out their
tasks. 


Dmitry Dokuchaev

Age: 34 years 

- Former employee of the Center for Information Security (CIB) of the FSB, major.

- Until the end of the 2000s he was engaged in breaking of bank cards, nickname - Forb. I got caught hacking, agreed to cooperate with the authorities and started working for the FSB. 

 - In the US, it is accused that in 2014 participated in hacking at least 500 million
accounts of Yahoo !, in search of Interpol. 
The third defendant is a subordinate of Mikhailov, a major of the TsIB FSB  
Dmitry Dokuchaev. Unlike Mikhailov and Stoyanov, he does not have a career in the authorities behind his back. Dokuchaev is only 34 years old, and a few years ago he himself was a hacker, a burglar of bank cards. 

Dokuchaev got to work at the FSB FSB after he was caught hacking and persistently offeredcooperation with the authorities, his friend says: "He agreed, but remained a hacker,
albeit in uniform. Could, while sitting in the car, in a traffic jam some site hack - just
so that the hands remembered. " The dokochka's the truth is not lost. In February, the
Northern District Court of California accused him of participating in one of the largest
hacker attacks in world history. It's about hacking in 2014 at least 500 million Yahoo
accounts. Dokuchaev's collaborators called Dokuchaev's accomplices the FSB major Igor
Sushchin and the hackers Aleksei Belan (the same one who fell under American sanctions
after breaking into DNC) and Karim Baratov. While the only detainee in this case is the
21-year-old Canadian citizen Baratov, who in November confessed to working for the FSB and said that he had transferred Dokuchaev for the money he had hacked. Now Dokuchaev, if he is in the US, faces a huge prison sentence. 

 Dokuchaev was entrusted with important matters in the FSB, in spite of all these exploits.
For example, he was part of the operational and investigative group for the development of
the leader of the group "Humpty Dumpty" Vladimir Anikeev, told The Bell lawyer Anikeeva
Ruslan Koblev. These hackers became famous for hacking e-mails of high-ranking Russian
officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, Press Secretary of the Prime
Minister Natalia Timakov and many other. Dokuchaev, the interlocutor of The Bell, who is
familiar with the details of the investigation, says, took part in the development of the
scheme for capturing Anikeev, who had to be lured from abroad for arrest. Both eventually
took about the same time - from the Lefortovo detention center, Dokuchaev was taken to a
closed trial in the Anikeev case as a prosecution witness. Andrei Chegodaykin, a lawyer of
Dmitry Dokuchaev, refused to answer the questions of The Bell. 

The last detainee in the case of the state treason - Fomchenkov. Confirm that he really
served in the FSB, we did not succeed. The newspaper Kommersant, referring to its sources,
wrote that Fomchenkov used to do business on the Internet, for example-related to the
creation of a payment service called whitebill.com, a popular webmaster of sites with
pornography, spammers and owners of resources for the sale of pharmaceuticals. Sources The Bell, familiar with other defendants, argue that he was associated with the FSB
professional interests: according to them, Fomchenkov reduced employees of the special
services with hackers, when they needed it. One of them calls Fomchenkov a "crook", and
another says that he "worked for Western special services for a long time and was the
organizer of the whole group". Lawyer Ivan Pavlov, who, according to The Bell, represents
the interests of Georgy Fomchenkov (this information the attorney himself does not confirm
or deny), refused to answer questions about Fomchenko. 

Dmitry Dokuchaev is the only member of the group who is more or less satisfied with the current state of affairs, a source familiar with the accused says: "He would certainly prefer to be released, but if they did,it would be better to spend ten years in Mordovia , than 60 - in the USA ". 

Representatives of the GRU and the FSB did not respond to inquiries from The Bell. A
spokesman for Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, said that the presidential administration does
not have information on this matter, and his investigation is not part of the prerogative
of the head of state.

I started writing this in February and forgot to finish it so here it is now.

How sad it is that we live in a world where profits trump saving the Earth for future generations.  I know many of these people have children and grandchildren, yet they don't seem to care what kind of suffering that their actions will inflect on them or those who follow them, they have no compassion. Why is it that you think it is OK to rake in billions of dollars, yet refuse to spend a few million to keep your business from killing everything that we need to survive.  I don't think they realize that all the money in the world will not save you if you kill the planet you live on, unfortunately  I don't think they will really get it until their multi-million dollar beach homes are sitting under several feet of water, then it is too late.

It amazes me how many ways people can delude themselves, like climate changes is a myth or that Earth goes through these changes all of the time.  The changes Earth goes through are usually gradual, over thousands or millions of years, not such a dramatic change over 20 years or so.

I was born and raised in the Tri-Cities in SE Washington State, which is highland desert (believe it or not, only the Western halves of Washington and Oregon are green and wet, the East sides are mostly high-land desert) and  can remember 20-30 years ago that the sky was blue and clear of pollution.  When you drove to Portland along the Columbia River it was beautiful, then as you neared Mt. Hood, you could see in the distance the haze that set in over the city.  It was like a curtain that you could see ahead of you then all at once you were in it.  You could still see the sky but it wasn't as vibrant as back home.  Over the years you noticed that the curtain was closer and closer to Mt. Hood, then it was East of The Cascade Mountains, until it covered the area where I grew up.  It isn't as bad on the East side but it is there and getting worse.  I was just there a couple of months ago and went to Prosser, about 30 miles East of Richland and there is a hill top viewpoint.  It was a beautiful day in May and you could hardly see the other side of town, a small town of 5700.


I now live in the Portland Metro area and have a view of the West hills.  It was a beautiful day when I first started this post, above average temperature for early February at 60 degrees, except as i look toward the hills,  the haze is so thick that all detail is lost, it is between 5 and 10 miles as the crow flies.  The haze is even noticeable just looking at the bottom of the hill I live on, the mini marts on the corner about 6 blocks away are even behind some haze.  I know it is worse in other places than it is here, but we don't have the industrial factories that some of them have.  I am sure that much of it is from the traffic that has become as bad or worse than the LA traffic I remember from visiting a cousin in LA in the early 90s.  Today July 30, 2016 it is 80 degrees and clear skies with winds at 14mph from WNW and still there is a low haze between our house and the West Hills.

The population of the Portland Metro Area which includes Multnomah, Washington, Yamhill and Clackamas Counties in Oregon and Clark and Skamania Counties in Washington was 1,523,741 in 1990, in 2014 it was  2,348247.  Many of these people live 10-30 miles or more from where they work.  I used to drive from Vancouver to Hillsboro Oregon, which is 35 miles from my home and the last major town along HWY 26 before you hit the Coast Range.  When working graveyard it took me 35-45 minutes to get there, during evening rush about an hour to 90 minutes, this was in 2006.  Now during rush hour which starts about 3pm, it takes between 1 1/2 and 3 hours to make that drive, just the 10 miles from downtown Portland to Vancouver takes 30-60 minutes depending on if there are accidents, and if they block the road it takes much longer.

Portland has excellent public transportation, including Max Trains that run from North Portland to Hillsboro to Clackamas County and to Gresham and everywhere between, with bus service that goes everywhere else.  Many people use the system, many more should.

The population explosion is mainly due to the tech boom, Intel and other tech companies have moved in along with many supporting companies.  The problem is they keep drawing in more and more business which brings in more and more people, yet they give these businesses tax breaks to come here, no property taxes, income taxes etc. so that they drain resources from the government entities, while raking in the money while not contributing by paying taxes.   Yes it provides jobs, but most of the people in those jobs were brought in too.  We are running out of space to put these people.  In the 1980s once you got to the top of the West hills there was nothing along HWY 26 until you got to the beach, now it is solid cities until the base of the mountains, same going South, it won't be long before Portland Metro and Salem become one big city.  The same is happening on the Vancouver side, when I move here in 1996, there were empty miles between Vancouver, Washougal and Camas, now they butt up to each other.  If we don't stop bringing in people, we will destroy the reason that people loved the area in the first place.

Greedy people and corporations are destroying this country and the planet, while whining that they can't afford to do things that reduces pollution while raking in billions every year, while trying to convince people that climate change is a liberal fallacy. All the money in the world won't help them when there is no water or food and no chance there will be for centuries.

Corporate Advertising Is Out Of Hand

 The last straw is when a show does a commercial for a product as part of the show. People from Storage Wars stopping for sandwiches at Subway and then talking about how you can get it anyway you want it etc.  I was watching Hot in Cleveland and Valerie Bertinelli's character feeds the dog, saying that the dog loves a particular flavor of Cesar's dog food.

Now they put in outtakes or a tidbit of information in the middle of the show so they can add more commercials.  They run 4-5 minutes worth of commercials then the tidbit, about 15-30 seconds, then another 4-5 minutes of commercials, during 1 hour shows they do it twice, so you have a 8-10 minute block of commercials divided by a 15-30 second cut-in.

In the 1960's a one hour show had 9 minutes worth of commercials, now it is 19-21 minutes minimum.  On top of that, they are adding a minute or two of run time to shows so that they run past the hour or 1/2 hour, interfering with shows you are trying to record on other networks.  This means I have to manually program the DVR to cut off the extra time, sometimes missing the important ending.  I have stopped watching a lot of shows that do this on a regular basis.

When will companies learn that when you piss off the customer, they will stop watching the shows, thus losing opportunities to advertise their product.  It is the same as corporations need to realize that if America loses the middle class, who is going to be able to buy what they have to sell?  One percent of the population isn't enough buying power to support all of the corporations in this country.

You can't go anywhere without some companies name on the stadiums etc.  I get so frustrated watching sports on TV and everything has a sponsor ie. "The play of the day is sponsored by" or the kickoff, halftime, pretty soon it will be this commercial is brought to you by some other companies product.  This Pepsi commercial break is sponsored by Mazda.

Let's go back to a time when the people ran this country and the corporations were happy for us to see a commercial for their product, not the shows being taken over by them.

Wasteful America

I like to watch HGTV, DIY and other home channels and shows, but it shows how wasteful people are in this country.



The shows have influenced people who used to be happy to have a working kitchen, bathroom etc, into thinking that they need to remodel them so they look the way they want it to look. I see people on the house buyer shows on these networks, looking at brand new remodels I would die for, then say "This is a total gut job".



One realtor impressed me on one of the shows. The house was Victorian, I believe, and it had a huge bathroom, as big as my whole house. It was original to the home and was beautiful old tile etc. They had an open house and some of the people were saying that this bathroom needed to be gutted right away. The realtor and owner refused to sell it to anyone who they thought would tear out the bathroom or other original details that were in beautiful shape.



If you don't like the place keep looking, unless it is damaged or void of anything special, like my house, move on and find one you like as it is. I live in a 1940s small ranch with nothing special. My kitchen is tiny, about 10'x4', and has the original non-descript cabinets that are falling apart. We inherited the house from my husband's grandfather 12 years ago. It has a beautiful view which is value of the place. The only item I liked was the bathroom which had a built-in vanity, but my mother-in-law was living here taking care of her father and she had it torn out along with the wall that enclosed the toilet which I am glad is gone, it was way too small.  My bathroom is actually larger than the kitchen.



My kitchen really needs a remodel, which we can’t afford now.  It was fine with me until it stated falling apart.  We have a plumbing leak somewhere that is swelling the floors, but we don’t have the money to even have that fixed.  This is a reason to put in a new kitchen, not because you don’t like the style even if it is up-to-date.  Ten years from now styles will change and people will be again tearing out perfectly good rooms.



The improvement shows think it is great TV to go in and destroy the whole room and throw it all in a dumpster to be hauled to the dump.  They should be taking cabinets, sinks etc. out carefully so they can be taken to a salvage place, or ask someone to come in and do so before they start.  The latest trick is to put a large mirror I the dumpster then throw a perfectly fine sink, tub or toilet into the mirror to break both, I saw it on at least 2 shows this week.  What a waste of resources besides the fact we don’t have room to be putting this crap into landfills.  I find it ironic that HGTV has a contest every year to give away a “green” built house, while the rest of the time they don’t follow that line of thought.



I think contractors should, by law¸ have to remove and recycle anything that can be reused by anyone.  Contractors should either remove it themselves or contract with someone who will do so before they start the remodel. 



The show Rehab Addict is a great example for others to follow.   Nicole buys old homes and restores them to be authentic of their era, then sells them to people who appreciate the beauty of the original look.  She shops in home restoration shops, buying things like old cabinets rather than putting in new ones.  She reuses everything she can and finds or makes what she needs to rehab the home.  If she tears out a 70s kitchen from a arts and craft home, she saves it or takes it to a rehab shop so that it can be used in a 70s era home by someone else and gets something that will look good in and Arts and Crafts home.



I know that sometimes old tiles often have to be broken to get them up, if it is necessary, there are many crafters etc that would love to have these broken tile and mirror pieces, especially if they are free.  They buy pieces or whole tiles in stores, and then break the whole tiles for their purposes.  Put them in a bucket and put them at the roadside and someone will take them.  I have put out things like new berry shoots that were overtaking my garden and I didn’t need since I had plenty and a old damaged small pickup canopy and each time they were gone by the next day.



Old lumber can also be reused, instead they cut a new piece of lumber the same size to use and throw the other in the dumpster.  They should be pulling the walls apart so as to re-use the lumber, instead of cutting down our forests.  It takes more time, but it would save the cost of new lumber.  If it can’t be used on the project, then give or sell it to a home salvage business.  There are people who try to find out when buildings are going to be torn down or changed.  They contact the owner, requesting to salvage anything that is going to be torn out.  They save mantles, corbels, doors, cabinets and any other item that can be used again.  They do what they can to save historical pieces from being destroyed.



There needs to be an incentive to recycle construction material and to charge companies who don’t do it.

Why do networks block their shows with graphics?

I've had enough of networks covering half of my TV screen with their logo and now ads for upcoming shows, right in the middle of the picture.

I am watching Body of Evidence on HLN in the lower right hand corner is their logo which is now a 3.5" x 4.5" on my 42" TV screen.  This logo is manila files with HLN in the middle of it.  This logo isn't the usual transparent one but solid so it hides anything of importance that might be on the show.

HLN is hosting the Daytime Emmys this weekend so they have placed a 12.5" x 3.5" advertising the Emmys, 4" off of the left side and about half way up the screen, this is also opaque.  They are covering up about 1/4 of the TV with this crap, while blocking important parts of the show.

Networks wonder why viewers are leaving in droves, this is the reason.  I can watch shows online, which may have 30 to 60 seconds of commercials every 10-15 minutes, less than if it is viewed on TV, and not have the program blocked with this crap.

If I am going to take the time to watch your show, don't make it impossible for me to do so.
