I am now chairing the first meeting of the Committee to Investigate the Committee to Investigate Russia.
The name Committee to Investigate Russia sounds very similar to the Investigative Committee of Russia, which has been around since January 2011 as the main federal investigative authority of Russia.

Not a good start.
According to the 'About Us' page, they refer to the Russian interference of the 2016 United States Presidential election as the Russian Active Measures campaign.

It describes itself as a non-profit, non-partisan resource to understand Russia's actions.

The current Advisory Board includes:

* Max Boot
* James Clapper
* Evelyn Farkas
* General Michael Hayden
* Jeh Johnson
* Michael Morell
* Norman Ornstein
* Leon Panetta
* Rob Reiner
* Charles Sykes
* Clint Watts

The Committee to Investigate Russia acts as if 2016 was the first time Russia had ever done any cyberattacks towards the United States.

investigaterussia.org/advisory-board
Here is Rob Reiner having a conversation with James Clapper and John Brennan about the situation.

Brennan's voice doesn't actually suit him.

According to Malcolm Nance, the Committee to Investigate Russia is THE resource to get to the bottom of this, as he explained on The Stephanie Miller Show.

As a reminder, Malcolm Nance has direct ties to Jason Felch, a partner at Fusion GPS.

The Committee to Investigate Russia was spearheaded by both Rob Reiner and David Frum.

The OG board members were Max Boot, Norm Ornstein and James Clapper.

Everybody else joined afterwards.

WE ARE AT WAR

Oh, Charles Sykes was also an OG board member.

foxnews.com/entertainment/…
The Committee to Investigate Russia was launched on September 19, 2017.

"So I started reaching out to people who are patriots and not necessarily my political stripe to say we're all together in this. Our country is attacked. Democracy is on the brink." -- Rob Reiner

edition.cnn.com/2017/09/19/pol…
David Frum was already acting as the True Conservative that he was back in 2011.

"But as I contemplate my party and my movement in 2011, I see things I simply cannot support".

nymag.com/news/politics/…
David Frum, November 20, 2011.

"Yet it's telling that that movement has failed time and again to produce even a remotely credible candidate for president. Sarah Palin, DONALD TRUMP, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich".

WRONG AGAIN

nymag.com/news/politics/…
On July 29, 2017, Rob Reiner and David Frum participated in a discussion about Russia and American Democracy at Politicon 2017.

I guess this would have been the genesis for the Committee.

Oh.

Thanks, James Clapper.

"Clapper: Russians hack U.S. 'all the time'."

September 7, 2016.

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

This deserves much more attention. #Russia’s attempted 2016 coup in #Montenegro was far more serious & sophisticated than previously understood. @CrisLeeMaza summarizes here the key findings of new report by @ReufBajrovic, @VeskoGarcevic & Richard Kraemer. newsweek.com/exclusive-russ…
Reason why this is such a major story is bc @ReufBajrovic & @suljagicemir1, in this report from March, warn of *upcoming* Russian inference in the Bosnian elxns. BiH is far more vulnerable & volatile than Montenegro was in 2016. Are EU, US, NATO prepared? fpri.org/article/2018/0…
Some of us have been warning about Russia’s very serious meddling in Bosnia for yrs now. I warned explicitly *last Sept* that we were headed for Kremlin-backed trouble in Oct of this yr. Too little has been done by the international community to prepare. foreignaffairs.com/articles/bosni…

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?
