Plea to international community to stop US stampede to WWIII. RussiaGate now at frenzied peak as it combines with US political class and media obsession to nullify Trump election based on non-existent or so-called 'confidential' evidence-Adam Carter, Phase 5

"Even after a year of inquiries, (Russia Foreign Minister) Mr. Lavrov said, “we did not see a single fact.” Mr. Lavrov said he had asked his American counterpart, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, for evidence of Russian meddling in the election and was told it was confidential. Mr. Lavrov dismissed that contention as well. “You know I cannot believe that,” he said. “Information is leaking all the time.”" 9/22/2017, "Russia Says ‘Small-Hearted’ Obama Administration Spoiled Ties," NY Times, Somini Sengupta, United Nations

"Ambassadors and diplomatic staff of many embassies located in London (covering 150 nations) were sent the following communication:

Dear Honourable Ambassador, 

I am writing to you as part of my effort to reach out to all governments around the world regarding what I fear is a genuine threat to world peace. It is a threat stemming from what, I regret to say, appears to be a partisan political deception campaign by a political party within the United States of America. This is a very serious issue and an issue that every country deserves to be properly informed about. 

INTRODUCTION 
 
I'm a private citizen of the United Kingdom. I have no affinity with any political party and no investment or stake in geopolitical outcomes beyond that of being a British citizen who opposes needless conflict, especially if it is instigated by deceit. 

At the end of December 2016, I started to investigate an online persona that identified itself as "Guccifer 2.0", an identity many believed – and many in America still do believe – to be a Russian hacker allied to the Russian security services, the GRU and/or the FSB. The Guccifer 2.0 online persona made unverified claims of being a source for the “DNCLeaks” – the leaked emails of seven Democratic National Committee officials that WikiLeaks published on 22 July 2016 – and deliberately left various ‘clues’ pointing to an apparent Russian identity. 

These ‘clues’ have been cynically exploited by vested political interests in the US to claim the Russian government used Guccifer 2.0 as a conduit to WikiLeaks of ‘hacked’ DNC materials in order to “subvert our democracy” in last year’s US election. 

There has been a great deal of misreporting, under-reporting and false assumptions made about Guccifer 2.0, and what makes this a serious issue is that these earlier press errors have gone uncorrected. Instead, most of the mainstream press has studiously ignored new evidence that contradicts the false narrative it has promoted over the past 15 months and instead continues to generate xenophobic hysteria over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US Presidential election. 

In light of this refusal to report the new evidence, it appears the US mainstream press is manufacturing consent for war once again. 

RESEARCH, DISCOVERIES and MAINSTREAM PRESS SILENCE
 
In February 2017, a discovery was made that discredited the ‘Russian hacker’ theory. This discovery of independently verifiable evidence was made by carrying out a more thorough analysis of the metadata of digital files published on Guccifer 2.0’s own Wordpress website than anyone appears to have done in 2016. 

The mainstream press stayed silent; it took around 200 days before the first brief mention of this new evidence in the press. Since then, the ‘Russian hacker’ theory has been further invalidated by other ‘digital forensics’ evidence from various independent researchers and analysts. Again, instead of dealing with these new discoveries legitimately, most in the mainstream press have chosen to ‘cherry-pick’ a single aspect, distort that, and argue against it ‘strawman’-style, as a means to disregard 90%-95% of the research.

THE THREAT TO GLOBAL STABILITY and HUMANITY
 
Since October 2016, the United States Intelligence Community (USIC), with assistance from mainstream media propaganda channels, has used warmongering rhetoric, alleged Russian government interference in the US election, and called that alleged interference an "act of war".

Anonymous officials in the USIC, cited by US mainstream press, have also made claims that strong evidence exists and have even stated they have intelligence showing that Russian President Vladimir Putin called for hacking the DNC. 

Nothing has ever been made public that supports such allegations. Indeed, the closest any USIC agencies have come to this is making assessments, none have produced hard evidence. Those assessments, at least as they relate to the Guccifer 2.0 persona, have been discredited by the newly discovered information. This, however, does not seem to have stopped the push for sanctions or for escalating military tensions, both of which continue within the US government.

Those entrusted to investigate the alleged Russian interference also appear to be completely ignoring the new evidence – evidence that does a lot to vindicate Russia. Ignoring evidence that suggests there may have been a domestic political scheme to frame Russia should be a concern to those who desire a peaceful and stable world for all. 

This could easily be an attempt to sustain a false pretext for war, a war between nuclear-armed nations that risks expanding into global war. 

QUESTIONABLE SOURCES 
 
Even more questionable, the assessments provided by various US intelligence agencies have, in part, been based on the reporting of private sector entities, one of which is CrowdStrike, the only entity the Democratic Party allowed to have access to its computer servers – effectively the ‘crime scene’ of the alleged cyber intrusion of which DNC claims it is the victim. 

CrowdStrike has multiple conflicts of interest here: its own contract with the Democratic Party; its affiliation with the Atlantic Council (which in turn has ties with NATO and anti-Russian individuals such as Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk); and some of its executives have made specious claims over the past year that now clearly need investigating, especially with regards to the relative timing of CrowdStrike’s public statements and the appearance of the Guccifer 2.0 persona. 

WHY EVIDENCE MAY BE GETTING IGNORED 
 
The person investigating these matters is Robert Swan Mueller III, someone whose history includes attempts to frame WikiLeaks and who is friends with one of the CrowdStrike executives who made specious claims about the DNC being hacked. I am concerned that he may not investigate this matter thoroughly and may ignore evidence that has recently been reported to him. 

WHO HAS THIS BEEN REPORTED TO? 
 
A report outlining various pieces of evidence and raising concerns over the assessments given by several US intelligence agencies was sent to Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III as well as to the US House and Senate Intelligence Committees, the US House and Senate Judiciary Committees and the US Deputy Attorney General, Rod Jay Rosenstein. 

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN INFORMED OF AND BY WHOM?

A copy of the report ("Non-Existent Foundation for Russian Hacking Charge") is available at: http://nef4rhc.wordpress.com
While the report does cite research that I have been involved with (and that I report on at: http://g-2.space), it was actually produced and sent by Skip Folden, a US citizen, former IBM Program Manager for Information Technology for the US, and someone who worked at IBM for at least 25 years. 

Folden also co-authored an earlier report on this same subject with members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), a group of highly experienced veteran intelligence officials and whistleblowers that opposes conflict justified by flawed intelligence. VIPS is most famous for its 2003 memorandum blowing the whistle on the false assessment that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that led America into an illegal invasion of Iraq.

SUMMARY 
 
I don't want to see global chaos and conflict caused by deception. I want to make sure investigation of the “DNCLeaks” is not obstructed or conducted in bad faith. I feel there is a serious and credible threat to global stability that may arise if this matter is not investigated properly. 

My reason for writing to you is to request that you or your technical/technology advisers read the report linked to above and consider all the new evidence that has been discovered in 2017. If its implications cause you concern, I hope you will feel you now have sufficient facts to take the matter forward in your official capacity, in whatever way you judge to be most appropriate. 

If you wish to clarify any of the points made in this letter or the report, technical or otherwise, I will be happy to do so to the best of my ability.

Thank you. 

Yours sincerely, 

Adam Carter"

Added: See, Comey's "folks" told him that relying on DNC employee CrowdStrike was an "appropriate substitute" for failing to examine DNC servers themselves:

"Mr. Comey provided his most detailed explanation of the DNC lockout in March when he appeared before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and was questioned by Rep. Will Hurd, Texas Republican.

Mr. Hurd: So, Director, FBI notified the DNC early, before any information was put on WikiLeaks....You have...never been given access to any of the technical or the physical machines that were, that were hacked by the Russians? [sic]

Mr. Comey: That’s correct, although we got the forensics from the pros [CrowdStrike] that they hired, which — again, best practice is always to get access to the machines themselves, but this--my folks tell me was an appropriate substitute.”

Why the FBI did not request a search warrant was not asked."...

Added: Excerpts from two Alastair Crooke articles: 

8/26/17, "How the Deep State Ties Down Trump," Alastair Crooke, Consortium News

"President Trump has had his foreign policy hands and feet tied by the Russia (and Iran) Sanctions Act. He now has been rendered “helpless”: in respect to détente with Russia — gulliverized, spitefully, by his own party, working with the Democrats, to empty Trump's constitutional prerogatives in policy--and to seize them for Congress....

It seems that the American deep state is so frenzied in this way that its inhabitants can no longer see straight: they are ready to risk despoiling not just the "recalcitrant" abroad but America herself. And the way they are going about trying to “have her,” may well ruin the deep state too, as collateral damage."....

-------------------

Second article:

"America’s ability to pursue or even to have a foreign policy is non-existent in the face of its internal civil war."..."Executive powers have been transferred to Congress:" 

8/6/17, "Playing Politics with the World’s Future," Alastair Crooke, Consortium News

"Finally...the U.S. Congress has produced a piece of legislation. And it passed with quasi-unanimous, bi-partisan support. Only its substance is not so much a deep reflection on the foreign policy interests of America, but rather, the desire to hurt, and incapacitate the U.S. President in any future dealings with Russia. (And never mind the worrying impulse towards conflict with Russia this entails, or its collateral damage on others).

The aim has been to see President Trump hog-tied, and “tarred and feathered” for his “risky behavior” on Russia. This aim simply has overpowered any other considerations--such as likelihood that the outside world will conclude that America’s ability to pursue or even to have a foreign policy is non-existent in the face of its internal civil war.  It is a key juncture. For an overwhelming majority of Democratic and Republican Senators and Congressmen, bringing down “The Donald” is all--and the devil take the consequences for America, in the world....

The U.S. President had little option but to sign the legislation, but that does not mean that diplomacy is completely blocked. As expected, he issued a Signing Statement (see here), in which, while accepting the mandate of Congress, Trump took issue with the new Congressional encroachments into his prerogatives (Article Two of the Constitution) in terms of foreign policy, and he reserved the right to decide on how the Congressional mandate might be implemented (i.e. in respect to the quadrilateral negotiations over Ukraine)....

As indicated earlier, Trump’s Republican base (unlike support from the Republican establishment) is not eroding, but rather is becoming angered and resentful. The more the MSM and the East Coast élites attack the deplorables’ “alt” news and websites – the greater the pushback, it seems....  

The point here is that the Republican [voters'] support for Trump’s desire for détente with Russia has not eroded one jot, whereas the “concern” of the Independents and even among Democrats is eroding somewhat."...

Comment: As explained in above two excerpts, the entire US political class, ie both US political parties, is thrilled with the RussiaGate issue, has already used it to nullify Trump's election and the votes of 63 million Americans, and to gin up WWIII with Russia. Both House and Senate voted nearly unanimously in August on a bill stating Putin/Russia interfered in the 2016 election and must be severely punished. They also voted to remove Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy with Russia, effectively removing a Constitutionally provided Executive branch duty and transferring it to Congress. They did this without benefit of an amendment to the Constitution. In addition to humiliating the US president, they wanted to let US voters know that under no circumstances are us hicks allowed to decide who becomes president. They proved this by nullifying the election. Trump had campaigned on detente with Russia, that among other things, with the global terrorism problem, we needed more countries to work with us. Trump voters agreed, won the election, then had it taken away from them by the non-gridlocked political class. Shutting us up is the #1 obsession of these people. They're so frustrated with us now that World War III looks like an improvement. Of course, we're forced to pay all the bills for their wars.

9/6/2012, "UPDATE 1-Russia's Putin defiant on Syria, says Romney "mistaken"," Reuters, Moscow

"Putin held out hope for an end to a dispute with Washington on missile defence if President Barack Obama were re-elected in November, telling Russia’s RT television he was “an honest person who really wants to change much for the better”. 

Putin took aim at Obama’s Republican rival Mitt Romney, calling his criticism of Russia “mistaken” campaign rhetoric and suggesting a Romney presidency would widen the rift over the anti-missile shield the United States is deploying in Europe."...
