Everyone's All in a Tizzy about the Wikileaks CIA Dump

[MineralMan]

It's the hot story of the day. Interestingly enough, it comes exactly at the time needed to divert from Donald Trump's discontent with the "tapping" of his New York home base.

Lots of documents appear to be available from this dump, and we can expect to see everyone and his brother to begin posting "analysis" posts about them. Most of those will be written by people with some ax or another to grind, and grind those axes they will.

Still, the coincidence of the timing is very interesting, as is the source of these "leaked" documents. I do have to wonder how many amateur "analysts" will actually delve deeply into what is in this "Vault 7" dump. Not many, I'm betting. Instead the blogosphere will be full of people who haven't looked at them at all waxing all eloquent about what it all means.

Meantime, Julian Assange is ordering hats in a larger size from Amazon to fit his swollen head today. How proud he must be this morning, from his self-imposed prison cell in an Ecuadorian Embassy.

Stay tuned for a barrage of misinformation brought to you by anonymous bloggers all across the Internet. Me? I'm going to skip the "Vault 7" show. I'm pretty sure it's a rerun. Still, as a distraction from the disaster that is Donald Trump, it will probably be somewhat effective.

1. Same would have been true

2 months ago and likely to be true 2 months from now.

[MineralMan]

2. Yes. Probably.

Thanks to Assange, we're always distracted, it seems. How convenient, eh?

3. I don't think it diverts - I think it's Act II of a coordinated effort.

Trump warmed up the audience, giving us two days to contemplate the insanity of BHO actually ordering a tap on anything, let alone Trump Tower.

And we spent a day with Trump standing strong against all evidence that it happened because "he knows what he knows".

Today, we get the story that the CIA is out of control.

Tonight, just in time for the news cycle, we'll get Trump's "see...I told you so...if it wasn't BHO it was his rogue CIA. Sad." tweet.

The only think I know bout all all coincidences is that there is no such thing as coincidence. lol

6. I'm quite certain that you are correct.

No doubt, the Trump folks will tell you how to interpret all of this soon. They've called in the official Trmp Whirling Dervishes to spin things up a notch or two.

10. Guess what. Steve King (Whacko-Iowa) said "rogue intel operation" just last night

"That doesn't necessarily prove that there wasn't a rogue intel operation going on that wasn't encumbered by, or just decided not to be encumbered by, the legalities," King said in an interview with Iowa's Sioux City Journal.

There's a DU thread in it but I can't find it now

4. Not sure how this helps Trump

Given that he and his agitprop artists have been screaming for a month that all leaks are bad and he's surrounded by traitors...

Besides, Assange only has credibility with the most extreme Trumpers/Emoprog dudebros these days... Yeah some useful Kremlinist idiots in the media (Tucker Carlson) and online punditsphere (Intercept, TYT) will make a big deal for a day or so, and then this story will die a quick death.

5. Oh, he'll let you know what to think about this shortly.

These are "good" leaks, see. That nice Julian Assange only does "good" leaks.

7. Assange, Putin and Fuckface had a 3 way on Sunday night,

and decided the best way to de-legitimize the CIA (who is about to out trump treason) is to release these documents which will make everybody doubt the credibility of the CIA.

Well, not everybody but the media, the brain-dead trump supporters and lots of folks in the middle who dont pay attention normally.

Oh, that 3 way included hot oils and lube.

8. I've said for a while Assange wants asylum in Russia

Will this be enough?

I think Putin is using him.

9. Agree.

This has that special Teapot Onion Dome smell all over it.

11. MineralMan, IMHO it's all chess moves at this point and the moves are coming fast

Over 8k in documents have been dumped. Why is it the ones that were the first to bubble up had to do with us stealing Russian malware with the end goal to attribute false fingerprints?

Wiki dropped Pondesta's emails and then we had reports of people scaling the embassy over there in England. I think it's going to amp up a bit in the very near future.

I'm with you on staying away from "vault 7". If you think this is a diversion just wait for the South China Sea shoe to drop. I'm seeing a lot of smoke on that front.
