It would not shock me if it turned out that someone leaked the files to wikileaks out of disgust from working for Hillary and it's not a hack at all.

Two shots to the back after signs of a struggle, with nothing stolen afterwards?

Guys this sounds like a suicide. Stop being paranoid.

I remember hearing and seeing this on the local news when that guy was shot. Seemingly completely random and almost no news coverage afterward.

I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this yet.

If you Google "presidential candidates," this is what appears on your screen.

The bias has reached the level of the surreal.

As of now, the search results have been removed. Enough people noticed and called Google out on this scheming bullshit.

Some elements of the media are actually reporting this:

Quote:Quote:

COLUMBUS (WCMH) – Need to know who’s running for President of the United States? Don’t Google it.

Searching for ‘presidential candidates’ brings up a handy guide above all of the other search results with pictures of candidates with active campaigns. Clicking on a picture brings up searches for the candidates.

The only problem is that Republican candidate Donald Trump isn’t included. Neither is Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson.

Results are shown for Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

As of 9:15am Wednesday, the guide above the search results has been removed.

They would rather remove it all than adding Trump.

It reminds me of a story often told by mainstream history about Hitler: 'On the first day of the 1936 Olympics, just before Cornelius Johnson, an African-American athlete who won the first gold medal for the U.S. that day, was to receive his award, Hitler left the stadium early... Hitler had received a number of winners, but Olympic officials informed the German leader that in the future he must receive all of the winners or none at all. After the first day, he opted to acknowledge none.'

Conclusion:
-Orange is the new black.
-Google is Hitler. Fact!

It's odd that google would have removed Gary Johnson from the search list, he is hardly a threat to do anything, maybe someone at google had a personal gripe with him. I get that they are totally in the tank to try to stop Trump from getting elected, but Gary Johnson?

This stuff is getting worse and worse.

Meyer has even filed a complaint about the Obama Administration retaliating against whistleblowing. All he did was brief congress as required and they still went after him and exposed him for being gay.

WASHINGTON
The Obama administration’s top official overseeing how intelligence agencies handle whistleblower retaliation claims has lodged his own complaint, alleging he was punished for disclosing “public corruption.”

Daniel Meyer, who previously oversaw the Defense Department’s decisions on whistleblowing cases, also says he was targeted for being gay, according to records obtained by McClatchy.

Meyer made the allegations in a complaint before the Merit Systems Protection Board, an administrative panel that handles employment grievances from federal employees, after another agency rejected his claims.

Meyer’s claims add to a barrage of allegations that the federal government’s handling of defense and intelligence whistleblower cases is flawed.

In the complaint, Meyer, who once worked for the Pentagon’s inspector general’s office, accused his former Defense Department bosses of “manipulation of a final report to curry favor” with then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

The inspector general’s report concluded that Panetta had leaked classified information to the makers of the film “Zero Dark Thirty,” Meyer said. That conclusion was later removed after then-acting Inspector General Lynne Halbrooks met privately with Panetta, he said. Meyer does not accuse Panetta or Halbrooks of making the change.

Halbrooks, who is now practicing law at a private firm, said she’s certain Meyer’s complaint will be rejected. “During my time in the Office of Inspector General, I strongly supported the rights of whistleblowers throughout the Department of Defense,” she said in an email. “I am confident that any government agency’s review of Mr. Meyer’s allegations will find them to be without any merit.”

In April, the Office of Special Counsel, an agency that handles complaints of retaliation by whistleblowers rejected Meyer’s claims, citing a lack of evidence.

In support of his retaliation claims, Meyer filed a sworn affidavit by his former boss, John Crane, a onetime assistant Defense Department inspector general. Crane was fired in 2013 and now alleges he, too, was retaliated against because of his involvement in the “Zero Dark Thirty” case and other controversial whistleblower claims, including one filed by former high-ranking National Security Agency official Thomas Drake.

MEYER’S CLAIMS ADD TO A BARRAGE OF ALLEGATIONS THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S HANDLING OF DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE WHISTLEBLOWER CASES IS FLAWED.

“We could neither corroborate Mr. Crane’s statements with any documentary evidence nor conclude that his statements are more reliable than statements from others in your chain of command and with the evidentiary record as a whole,” Aaron Lloyd, a lawyer with the counsel’s office, wrote Meyer.

The counsel’s spokesman, Nick Schwellenbach, did not respond to questions. Meyer, who currently works for the intelligence community inspector general, said through a spokeswoman that he was “happy to be part of the intelligence community and looks forward to the (Merit Systems Protection Board) closing out any remaining issues” from his work at the Defense Department.

Panetta, who retired as defense secretary in 2013 after previously serving as CIA director, did not respond to requests for comment. Jeremy Bash, a spokesman for Panetta, told a reporter, “You (or your source) have some basic facts wrong,” but he declined to elaborate. Bash then referred questions to the Pentagon inspector general’s office.

Kathie R. Scarrah, a spokeswoman for that office, said she was “precluded from commenting on anyone’s potential (Merit Systems Protection Board) matter.” The current acting inspector general, Glenn Fine, took over after Meyer alleges he was retaliated against.

While at the Pentagon, Meyer was known for aggressively investigating whistleblowers’ allegations of retaliation. His current office reviews and investigates not only whistleblower retaliation claims but also high-profile security matters within the intelligence community. His office, for instance, notified the FBI that classified emails had been found on Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The referral led to an FBI investigation.

Meyer was not involved in the Clinton matter. However, he is supposed to have a key role in President Barack Obama’s initiative to improve the intelligence community’s response to whistleblower complaints. That initiative was announced after the leak by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Snowden, who leaked details on the agency’s then-classified mass collection of Americans’ email and phone records, has said he was prompted to disclose classified information to the media because his efforts to report what he felt was wrongdoing in the government’s eavesdropping program had failed.

The inspector general investigation singled out by Meyer examined allegations that classified and sensitive information was leaked to Kathryn Bigelow, the director of “Zero Dark Thirty,” and the film’s screenwriter, Mark Boal.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL INVESTIGATION SINGLED OUT BY MEYER EXAMINED ALLEGATIONS THAT CLASSIFIED AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION WAS LEAKED TO KATHRYN BIGELOW, THE DIRECTOR OF “ZERO DARK THIRTY,” AND ITS SCREENWRITER, MARK BOAL.

An initial version of the findings concluded that while serving as CIA director – the post he’d held before moving to the Pentagon – Panetta had disclosed classified information to Boal, the only person without top-secret clearance who’d attended a June 24, 2011, ceremony at CIA headquarters honoring the SEAL team that killed bin Laden.

In his speech to the gathering, Panetta cited classified NSA intelligence and top-secret military information, including the protected identity of the SEAL ground commander, according to the draft report, which was completed in late 2012 and leaked to the Project on Government Oversight, a nonprofit government watchdog organization, in June 2013.

When the controversy first erupted, Panetta spokesman Bash said Panetta had thought everyone in the audience had security clearances and was permitted to hear classified information.

In July 2013, Meyer became the executive director of whistleblowing for the intelligence community inspector general.

After he left the Pentagon, Meyer and other Pentagon inspector general employees were grilled about whether they’d leaked the draft of the “Zero Dark Thirty” report. The draft report was not classified, and Meyer denied being the leaker.

When the final report on the matter came out eight months after being leaked, the findings on Panetta had been removed.

Although the Pentagon inspector general’s office did not determine who’d leaked the draft report, Meyer volunteered to investigators that he’d sent the draft report to staffers on the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee as part of his duties to inform the panels that have oversight on such matters.

Meyer was found to have made an “unauthorized disclosure” to Congress, according to documents obtained by McClatchy.

Separately, Meyer was accused of making false statements, according to documents obtained by McClatchy, but those documents don’t specify the nature of the statements.

In the complaint to the Merit Systems Protection Board, Meyer also accused his former bosses of inappropriately interfering in an investigation of the Afghan National Military Hospital.

Army Col. Mark Fassl, then the inspector general for the training command, had alleged to the Pentagon inspector general’s office that his supervisors had tried to interfere during an investigation of corruption at the hospital. He presented evidence of the medical neglect of Afghan soldiers, including the starvation of one. The inspector general later substantiated his allegations, but Fassl was not treated as a whistleblower. He later told McClatchy he regarded himself as one.

Meyer said he and Crane complained to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in 2012 about their office’s inaction on the case, including not telling investigators in Afghanistan about the starving soldier.

As a result of his involvement in such cases, Meyer was passed over for promotions and raises and his career suffered other unfair setbacks, he says.

He charges that the alleged retaliation was compounded by discrimination due to his sexual orientation.

Meyer accused Henry Shelley, the general counsel of the inspector general’s office, of obstructing his investigations of whistleblower cases because of his “personal animus . . . that Mr. Meyer was openly homosexual” and therefore “had a bias that would support allegations of whistleblowers.” Meyer also cited Crane as a witness to the alleged discrimination.

Earlier this year, the counsel’s office asked the Justice Department’s inspector general to investigate Crane’s allegations that the Pentagon inspector general’s office may have improperly destroyed evidence during the high-profile leak prosecution of Drake. The former NSA official is also alleging that the Pentagon inspector general mishandled his whistleblower case.

There is nothing hidden about google's agenda. That's the thing though, if someone does a google search for one of Trump's books and Hitler's book shows up, that will probably not make them want to vote for Hillary, I think even the most casual voter sees right through that sort of manipulation. You would think that team Hillary is learning that calling Trump racist and comparing him to Hitler doesn't actually work, except on maybe the most die hard SJW who is already totally brainwashed.

No wonder the Democrats didn't follow the cyber security recommendations. Talk about a bunch of dumb broads running the DNC into the ground.

Democrats Ignored Cybersecurity Warnings Before Theft

Quote:Quote:

The Democratic National Committee was warned last fall that its computer network was susceptible to attacks but didn’t follow the security advice it was given, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The missed opportunity is another blow to party officials already embarrassed by the theft and public disclosure of e-mails that have disrupted their presidential nominating convention in Philadelphia and led their chairwoman to resign.

Computer security consultants hired by the DNC made dozens of recommendations after a two-month review, the people said. Following the advice, which would typically include having specialists hunt for intruders on the network, might have alerted party officials that hackers had been lurking in their network for weeks -- hackers who would stay for nearly a year.

Instead, officials didn’t discover the breach until April. The theft ultimately led to the release of almost 20,000 internal e-mails through WikiLeaks last week on the eve of the convention.

The e-mails have devastated party leaders. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman, has agreed to resign at the end of this week’s convention. She was booed off the stage on opening day after the leaked e-mails showed that party officials tried to undermine the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton, who was formally nominated on Tuesday evening. Party officials are supposed to remain neutral on presidential nominations.

Russia Suspected

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining the attack, which law enforcement officials and private security experts say may be linked to the Russian government. President Barack Obama suggested on Tuesday that Russia might be trying to interfere with the presidential race. Russian officials deny any involvement in the hacking and say they’re not trying to influence the election.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said Wednesday that he didn’t think Russia was behind the attack. But he also said he hoped the Russians would get their hands on e-mails that Clinton exchanged using a private server while she was secretary of state, to expose any e-mails she might have deleted.

The consultants briefed senior DNC leaders on the security problems they found, the people familiar with the matter said. It’s unclear whether Wasserman Schultz was present. Now, she is likely to face criticism over not only the content of the e-mails -- including one in which a party official proposes pushing stories in the news media questioning Sanders’s Jewish faith -- but also the failure to take steps to stop the theft in the first place.

“Shame on them. It looks like they just did the review to check a box but didn’t do anything with it,” said Ann Barron-DiCamillo, who was director of US-Cert, the primary agency protecting U.S. government networks, until last February. “If they had acted last fall, instead of those thousands of e-mails exposed it might have been much less.”

The assessment by Good Harbor Security Risk Management, headed by the former Clinton and Bush administration official Richard Clarke, occurred over two months beginning in September 2015, the people said. It included interviews with key staff members and a detailed review of the security measures in place on the organization’s network, they said.

Security Flaws

The review found problems ranging from an out-of-date firewall to a lack of advanced malware detection technology on individual computers, according to two of the people familiar with the matter. The firm recommended taking special precautions to protect any financial information related to donors and internal communications including e-mails, these people said.

The DNC paid $60,000 for the assessment, according to federal filings.

Mark Paustenbach, a spokesman for the DNC, declined to comment on the Good Harbor report. Emilian Papadopoulos, president of Washington-based Good Harbor, said he couldn’t comment on work done for a specific client.

Missed Warnings

The security review commissioned by the DNC was perhaps the most detailed of a series of missed warnings. Officials at both the Republican National Committee and the DNC received government briefings on espionage and hacking threats beginning last year, and then received a more specific briefing this spring, according to another person familiar with the matter.

Cyber-security assessments can be a mixed blessing. Legal experts say some general counsels advise organizations against doing such assessments if they don’t have the ability to quickly fix any problems the auditors find, because customers and shareholders could have cause to sue if an organization knowingly disregards such warnings.

Papadopoulos said a risk analysis by his firm is designed to “help an organization’s senior leadership answer the questions, ‘What are our unique and most significant cyber security risks, how are we doing managing them, and what should we improve?’ ”

The firm typically recommends that clients conduct a so-called breach assessment to determine whether hackers are already lurking in the network, Papadopoulos said. He wouldn’t confirm whether such a recommendation was among those delivered to the DNC.

“We give recommendations on governance, policies, technologies and crisis management,” he said. “For organizations that have not had a compromise assessment done, that is one of the things we often recommend.”

It isn’t certain a breach assessment would have spotted the hackers, according to Barron-DiCamillo, but it would have increased the chances. “Why spend the money to have Good Harbor come in and do the recommendations and then not act on them?,” she asked.
