Moon of Alabama — The Undeniable Pattern Of Russian Hacking

A wide review of news sources finds an undeniable patter of international "Russian hacking" claims:
  • Many, if not all such accusation, are based on say-so by some anonymous "official" or self-promoting "expert".
  • Many, if not all such accusation, are rebutted within a few days or weeks.
  • News about any alleged "Russian hacking" is widely distributed and easy to find.
  • News of the debunking of such claims is reported only sparsely (if at all) and more difficult to retrieve.

In other words, it's just like McCarthyism.

I actually wrote off the editor of the Guardian about this. I pointed out that we have to take the word of a private company called Crowdstrike which has made serous errors in the past and is owned by a billionaire Russian hating Ukrainian. I said don't you think it is strange that with something as important as national security the FBI has not been allowed to look at Hilary Clinton's computer? Surely all this is worthy news, I sad? I pointed out a few more derails that I don't need to go into here as we all know them. I mentioned about the risk of WW3.

I don't know what's in the heads of these journalists and editors? Do they want to die agonising deaths along with two three billion people, or maybe more, maybe even everyone.

Just think of it as various Mafia dons battling for control of turf and take.
