Last week there was story after story about how the Russians had hacked into a Vermont utility company and possibly could have shut down the entire US electric grid. This just proved the point that the lame duck “president” was making about how Russia was attacking the US and, more specifically, had engineered a Donald Trump victory over the “president’s” fellow communist and legacy preserver, Hillary Clinton. Trouble is, the accusers and inventors of “fake news” were at it again. The utility in question could not have been hacked because it was offline. And the head purveyor of “fake news” who broke the story, the venerable Washington Post, had to print a retraction.
The Post wrote on January 2: “As federal officials investigate suspicious Internet activity found last week on a Vermont utility computer, they are finding evidence that the incident is not linked to any Russian government effort to target or hack the utility…An employee at Burlington Electric Department was checking his Yahoo email account Friday and triggered an alert indicating that his computer had connected to a suspicious IP address associated by authorities with the Russian hacking operation that infiltrated the Democratic Party…Indeed, officials say it is possible that the traffic is benign, since this particular IP address is not always connected to malicious activity…The Post initially reported incorrectly that the country’s electric grid had been penetrated through a Vermont utility.”
So this story went from the Washington Post reporting that the entire country’s electric grid was hacked by the Russians to issuing a retraction that there was no such incident at all. This is very similar to reporting throughout the election cycle that Clinton is up by several points and will win, despite knowing that the polling samples are skewed by 12 points in her favor. Then the Post and the “president” decry “fake news” as influencing the election. Also notice how the Post tied its “fake news” to the same hackers that “infiltrated the Democratic Party”-stating as fact something that is still unproven. This is the same tactic employed to establish global warming while the researchers all along were admittedly manipulating the data.
WikiLeaks obtained the DNC and Clinton information and released it. WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange was asked directly by Fox News’ Sean Hannity: “Can you say to the American people, unequivocally, that you did not get this information about the DNC, John Podesta’s emails, can you tell the American people 1,000 percent that you did not get it from Russia or anybody associated with Russia?” Assange answered: “Yes. We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party.” So when you are checking under your bed at night for the Russian boogeyman, don’t be surprised if you find the lame duck US “president.” Ephesians 5:6 says, “Let no man deceive you with vain words.” Neither the “president” nor The Washington Post, for sure.
