Oh, JARED. Don't "friend" Russian operatives on Facebook, and don't help them buy targeted ads.



Maddow: Jared Kushner may have helped Russian operatives with targeted political ads on Facebook

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/maddow-jared-kushner-may-have-helped-russian-operatives-with-targeted-political-ads-on-facebook/

Maddow read a quote from McClatchy News reporting, “investigators at the House and Senate Intelligence committees and the Justice Department are examining whether the Trump campaign’s digital operation – overseen by Jared Kushner – helped guide Russia’s sophisticated voter targeting and fake news attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016.”

“They cite several people familiar with the parallel inquiries,” Maddow explained. “Peter Stone and Greg Gordon reporting for McClatchy investigators are focusing on whether Trump’s campaign pointed Russian cyber operatives to certain voting jurisdictions, in key states — areas where Trump’s digital team and operatives were spotting weakness in voter support for Hillary Clinton.”

“In that article, crucially, McClatchy spoke with a guy who had just left his post as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia at the Pentagon,” Maddow noted. “So he’s the senior Pentagon official responsible for Russia during the Russian attack on our election.”

“There appears to have been significant cooperation between Russia’s online propaganda machine and individuals in the United States who were knowledgeable about where to target the disinformation,” Maddow read.

They are a crime family an ongoing RICO criminal enterprise. They rig the system and spew bullshit about this being a meritocracy ha. They are living proof of de balzacs observation that behind every great fortune is a great crime.

in all this.

the kid ain't got a chance in hell of turning out any different but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at this point in his life.

Daddies possibly ultimately wearing an orange jump suit and if that happens it might wake him up

None of this is out of the realm of possibilities, ACTUALLY

From everything I have read, Jared is not too smart. Certainly not smart enough to do all this research into where democratic voters congregate. Just because Agent Orange calls him "a smart kid" consider the source. Anyone who can successfully speak a full sentence is "smart"" in tRump world.

Brad Parscale certainly has the digital expertise to take data from the RNC database, parse it into the voting bloc to be targeted, and then share the results either with Kushner or directly with the Russians. Parscale was getting rich from the Trump campaign, so he may have been willing to cooperate--or he may not have known how Kushner and crew were ultimately using the data. He agreed to be interviewed by the FBI and the House Intel Committee, but we don't know yet what he said. He has certainly dropped off the radar lately.

so the GRU could target susceptible facebook users. Probably helped determine which voter districts needed to be flipped and how far to go to be believable.

I think subtlety is how to make it work, too, so the results won't be questioned. It's one thing for a precinct to go red when there is an abundance of stupid trump signs in the yards. It's another when voters play it close to the vest, like oin my neighborhood. In 2012, there were lots of rmoney signs around. Not this time. I don't think I saw a single trump sign in my neighborhood this time.

I just couldn't take the stupidity anymore. When one of my oldest friends, someone I've known for almost 40 years proved to be a bigot and willing to spread pure fake news, and clearly had no regard for truth if it showed her Lord and Master Trump in a poor light, I had to leave. First I just unfriended her, both on Facebook and in life. But the fake news posts kept coming as did the comments applauding them. I had to get out of that nuthouse. I do not regret or miss it.

At first, data analysts were puzzled by what appeared to be random activity with no apparent pattern. Perhaps it was email activity? Maybe money transfers? But there were literally thousands of these IP “pings.”

Once the activity was charted, a pattern emerged. For example, a connection is made from Alfa Bank to Trump Tower, which may last anywhere from 1 minute to 15 minutes or more, followed by a longer “sleep” period. When averaged over months, these events charted an average time between connections to be 3660 seconds, or 1 hour and 1 minute. Whatever was running, it would hook up, transfer data for a few minutes, then go to sleep for an hour.

This was the clue that led Tea Pain to formulate a much clearer working model to explain what we were all seeing: SQL Server Database Replication between multiple sites.
