Former US President Barack Obama has been criticized by both Republicans and fellow Democrats for withholding information about Russia’s alleged interference in the US presidential election – criticism that has only intensified since President Donald Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November election.
Now, in yet another troubling sign that the Obama administration believed outside hacking groups posed a significant threat to the election, Time magazine reports that his administration had devised a detailed plan to fend off any cyberattacks that sought to falsify vote totals during the election. Obama has been criticized for not informing the American people about hacking attempts allegedly carried out by Russia-linked groups for fear of “rocking the boat” and damaging Clinton’s chances of victory.
Obama and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice
The 15-page plan, a copy of which was obtained by Time, stipulates that “in almost all potential cases of malicious cyber activity impacting election infrastructure, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments,” the governments would have primary jurisdiction to respond.
And if an attack were launched, the White House had several “enhanced procedures” it had prepared to fight back against the attackers.
The document “establishes the federal response plan for a cyber incident that is (or a group of related cyber incidents that together are) likely to result in demonstrable impact to election infrastructure during the 2016 United States presidential election. Furthermore, Obama’s plan appears to include contingencies for martial law…
“Though the plan emphasized the vital role that local authorities would play in combating the hackers, clarifying that they would have primary jurisdiction during an attack, it noted that for the deployment of “armed federal law enforcement agents” who would be deployed to polling places if hackers managed to halt voting.
It also foresaw the deployment of “Active and Reserve” military forces and members of the National Guard “upon a request from a federal agency and the direction of the Secretary of Defense or the President.”
The plan also authorized the creation of the federal “Cyber Response Group,’ which has the authority to form a Cyber Unified Coordination Group to coordinate these activities
The Department of Homeland Security established a committee to coordinate a response to any attempted election hacking. The group includes seven additional agencies on top of the FBI. They are:
Even though Obama had no intention of sharing this information with the public, the report ironically included a subsection outlining the administration’s policy for disclosing information about cyberattacks to the public. In anticipation of an attack, the group would develop integrated public relations guidance that seeks to maintain election infrastructure. The public relations guidance developed by those agencies will be fully coordinated before Nov. 1 2016, with the NSC to ensure that appropriate spokesperson re identified, remarks are fully consistent and joint messages are used in any potential cyber incident.”
On election day, the group set up a national monitoring center at FBI headquarters. The command center, which operated between 6 am and midnight, served as the launchpad for any counterattacks.
By Election Day, with widespread coverage of Russian hacking and then-candidate Donald Trump’s assertions that the vote would be rigged against him, Gallup found that only 30% of Americans had faith in the honesty of elections, while 69% did not.
Since news first broke that Russian-backed hackers had tried to infiltrate voting systems in 21 states, several notable Democrats – House intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff among them – have criticized Obama’s unwillingness to disclose the information to the public.
First it was Susan Rice illegally ‘unmasking” Trump associates to try and create some illusory heft behind the allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to tilt the election in Trump’s favor. Then the public was informed about former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s meeting with former President Bill Clinton and an investigation was launched. Today, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein suggested that former FBI Director James Comey’s decision to leak his memo about a meeting between himself and President Trump – the one in which the president appeared to lean on his top cop to drop the bureau’s investigation into former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn – was improper.
This, combined with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s announcement that he’s examining Trump’s finances as the next step in his investigation into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, begs the question: When will Congress and the FBI switch gears and investigate the DNC?

Obama did his best to destroy the US. Eric Holder, his US Atty., ordered states to lower all charges against black suspects. In many states, a violent felony is now considered a non-violent felony. And all non-violent felonies are required to be dropped down to misdemeanors, in those states. And in many states, misdemeanors do not require bond to be posted under the new laws. And now you know why the violent crime rates are soaring all over the country. Didn’t see that in the news, did you? Second city cop blog has the article.
Oboinga is an Amerikan disgrace.
We know for a proven fact that Obama’s DHS attempted to hack into several States Election Computer Systems, blame the Russians, as the DHS came right out and then tried to declare the State’s Election Process as Critical Infrastructure to declare Federal Jurisdiction over it. That was a clear attempt to Hijack the American Election process. This all failed of course. So why aren’t the Hackers from Obamas DHS sitting in prison? So do a search for DHS hacked into States Election Computers. The hackers IP address originated at the DHS. This is Fact. Where is that investigation?
Him, one good look at the DOJ and FBI statistics tells you who is responsible for the majority of crime in all US cities. The BLACK POTUS and BLACK AG basically told all state and local LE agencies to handle these black animals with kid gloves and it continued under the jezebel Loretta Lynch. It still remains to be seen how AG Sessions will handle it, although Trump promised to turn it around. It’s no wonder blacks get away with so much. All the damn black civil rights crap.
Trump should pull the plug on Mueller and stop the witch hunt. Putting the entire Trump family under a microscope and looking at ALL their business deals going back years is obscene, especially since there is no evidence of any law being broken. Even dems admit there may be no laws broken.
Let’s say the IRS does a routine audit on someone. They find nothing but want a complete list of all people, contacts, internet history, and phone records. Then the IRS summons every one on this list to testify under oath, in detail, of all interactions with the person being audited with the hope that something turns up. That’s not right.
Trump said if Mueller sticks to investigating all of his Russian business deals then that’s fine. But if the investigation is opened up to scrutinize all of Trump’s and his family’s business dealings then that will cross the line.
It’s amazing how the Clintons have escaped any MSM questions about their foundation. And Clinton screwing over Sanders, and 33k missing emails and on and on. Don Jr. shakes hands with a Russian or Trump sits down with Putin at the G20 and it’s the end of the republic.
Trump should shut down all investigations until there is reasonable evidence of an actual law being broken.
It’s like a cop showing up at my house and thinks I may have broken a law, he’s not sure what law, and will turn my life upside down until he finds something. I sympathize with Trump on this. Fire Mueller.
the FBI have been investigating the so called Russian election collusion for over a year now and nothing the special prosecutor wants to investigate Trumps business transactions now because the election collusion did not work for him this is all a waste of tax payers money and should be stopped
Now he wants to head the U.N.
Fight election fraud? Then he would have to arrest himself.
The reason they won’t investigate attempts to rig the election for Trump is because the efforts to rig it for Hillary were so much bigger. If they open up Pandoras box, they know it will blow up in their face.
Sorry, i no longer support this government, none of them are representive of the people and deserve nor will receive any respect or compliance, rather fucking die resisting
Nail,
I pretty much agree with you.
I suspect most people venting
on this site feel the same.
We are all failing in one regard.
In the game of chess, if you are
always defensive, you will almost
always lose. Life is generally
the same sort of game, although
failure is much tougher in life.
Somewhere, someway, someday,
I’ll figure out a
way to go on the offensive and
metaphorically, kill part of our
government.
That is on my bucket list.
Aloha
“… i no longer support this government,…”
May I ask a few questions to ascertain exactly what you mean when you are using the term “government”? Are you saying that you no longer support the US Constitution and each state’s Constitution (our legitimate governments) or are you saying that you no longer support the corrupt, domestic enemy/traitors that SERVE WITHIN our governments?
I stand for the US Constitution, but want to replace EVERY single person who currently serves in any position within our governments – ban them from every working in any type of governmental position at all, including for sub-contractors, etc. WE need to PROSECUTE all who committed crimes, including breaking the Oath (felony and Perjury).
Thanks, hope you answer and we are on the same page, if not, ah well…
Good ol’ leftist fascists. The script never changes, does it.
The “Fallen Angel Freak Show” of Police State hell on earth damned and doomed New Babylon America is already in Martial Law with NO Constitution, and under complete control of the United States Corporation Government….the most criminal treasonous government the world has ever known and from which all evil, vile, disgusting, murderous, genocidal governments past, present, and future will be judged and measured.
The election system had long-standing requirements that voters produce photo IDs. The people that called this racist and unconstitutional are the same people that complain about Russian interference. Allowing illegal immigrants to vote in the election (probably democratic) is also foreign interference. Not a word about this.
Well, IF, and that would be a really big IF, there was a major disruption of the voting—-
I don’t know how else authorities would contain and calm the situation w/o some kind of major intervention on the populace.
Actually, if you play it out in your head, it would be catastrophic. A real SHTF.
Might want some control of the angry peeps who couldn’t or didn’t get to vote their ballet.
Martial Law followed by Citizen Tribunals needs to be enacted by the sworn lower ranking members of the Armed Forces and Sworn Peace Officers of collapsing damned and doomed America, it is the ONLY way to stop these psychopaths from destroying our children’s health, freedoms, future, and taking us into WWIII to cover the crimes of the United States Corporation Government-THEIR CRIMES ARE LEGION.
The upper echelon puppet whores of the Military Industrial Complex in the psychopath controlled American Military need to be arrested by lower ranking members and Sworn Peace Officers for treason, sedition, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
All so-called “Intelligence Agencies” of the United States Corporation, and United States Corporation Alphabet Gangs, especially the DHS, need to be disarmed by the lower ranking members of the US Military and Sworn Peace Officers.
The entire United States Corporation Government needs to be arrested and held for Citizen Tribunals on the charges of treason, sedition, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
The genocidal murderous psychopaths who took over the American Food and Drug Supply for their “control the food, control the population” agenda, and for implementation of the American Holocaust and Chemical Culling need to be arrested on the charges of genocide, ecocide, treason, sedition, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the environment, and many conspiracy related charges.
The psychopaths who took over our media, entertainment, and “bread and circuses” sporting events to dumb down and distract the programmed indoctrinated masses, while psychopaths get complete control of their children and their doomed future, need to be arrested on the charges of treason, sedition, conspiracy to commit genocide, and many other charges.
That will be the first round of Citizen Tribunals. I could fill Probable Cause Arrest forms out right now on everyone of the psychopaths involved in the destruction of our children’s health, freedoms, and future, listing all the important elements of their high crimes, and their treasonous murderous sedition, in 15 minutes for each psychopath involved.
To all of the treasonous criminals, especially those who swore an Oath to protect the innocent unknowing victims of the psychopaths destruction to our health, freedoms, and future: If you are now assisting or planning on assisting the United States Corporation Government psychopaths in the complete destruction of America and our children’s health, freedoms,and future-you might want to put down the booze, porno, golf clubs, and remote control and take time to read who was in the second and third rounds of Nuremberg Trials after the last Holocaust and Chemical Culling.
“Martial Law followed by Citizen Tribunals needs to be enacted by the sworn lower ranking members of the Armed Forces and Sworn Peace Officers of collapsing damned and doomed America, it is the ONLY way to stop these psychopaths from destroying our children’s health, freedoms, future, and taking us into WWIII to cover the crimes of the United States Corporation Government-THEIR CRIMES ARE LEGION.”
Your terribly foolish if that is what you want. No, the ONLY LAWFUL way to stop them is for the PEOPLE to do their constitutional duty as the Militia (trained as the military is trained, and knowledgeable about the US Constitution and their own state’s Constitution). If the military was honest and loyal to this nations legitimate government they would NOT be doing what they are doing now in other nations. THEY would be the Militia.
Cal, What Militia Cal????? You truly are delusional and insane Cal. You mean the ALREADY CONQUERED dumbed down cowardly fat ass toxic dumps and drunken bums calling themselves “Militia” or “Oathkeepers”, who do not give two shits about their children’s future while they get drunker and drunker ever day…You know Cal, the Fake Oathkeepers and Militia, who spend more time at Awards Ceremonies and Strip Clubs getting drunk than planning Citizen Tribunals or even calling for the arrest of the criminal treasonous psychopaths, the ones who ALREADY CONQUERED New Babylon America, and are RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MINUTE CAL completely destroying our children’s health, freedom, and future.
THERE IS NO MILITIA AND NEVER WILL BE CAL…YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONQUERED CAL GET THAT THROUGH YOUR DUMBED DOWN DELUSIONAL HEAD PLEASE. IT IS THE ONLY WAY OUR CHILDREN HAVE A CHANCE CAL-YOU AND THE OTHER SO-CALLED OATHKEPER COWARDS NEED TO WAKE UP TO REALITY INSTEAD OF THE FANTASIES AND LIES YOU STILL LIVE IN.
Cal…Why don’t you actually take a look at the obese, alcoholic drunken bums, Big Pharma addicted, depressed, dumbed down toxic dumps calling themselves “Militias” or “Oathkeepers”….Please Cal actually take a good hard look at all them Please, and wake up to your ignorance and delusion.
By the way Cal, stop blocking my comments on your Fake Oathkeeper Page you COWARD!!!! You are no Oathkeeper that is for sure Cal.

The Federal government would be a good thing if we were still 90 to 95% white Europeans. Americans made an error in judgement by not refusing to allow slavery. Slavery was practiced in Africa long before white people got them. In the U.S. A free black man started slavery of blacks by going to Court and suing to make his black indentured servant his slave for life. One more gift from blacks.
Obama is not only a Communist Muslim, he is a traitor.
Freeing the slaves was the right thing to do, but they should have been returned to Africa. In Africa, someone like Obama, could lead his own people. He should not be leading white people. Nothing good has come about from integrating the races. Nothing !!!

B from CA, just as an FYI, the post office now makes a photo copy (both front and back) of EVERY piece of mail that passes through their hands, and stores those photos for ever. This photo copying of all mail was put into effect after 9-11-2001.
“Americans made an error in judgement by not refusing to allow slavery.”
You must have missed a day or more of history class, slaves of all colors, including black, were here BEFORE there was an America created. They were brought here by order of the King, to the British colony and owned by British who were here in the “new lands”.
Slavery was a done deal by the time the USA was created.
“Obama is not only a Communist Muslim, he is a traitor.”
He is a traitor, and more. Consider thought, that those who served within the legislative, judicial, and executive branches KNEW that Obama never met all three (yeah, just 3) requirements to be the US President so he could NEVER be one even if he had received 100% or more (as he did in some precincts) of the votes which makes them traitors also – and many still “serving”.
B, as long as Obama and his supporters are still alive, they pose a clear and present danger to us all.
They all deserve the Gas Chamber period!
Obama’s plan is exactly what I feared on election night. Luckily I was at the BOL at the time just in case. We all need to be grateful this plan was NOT carried out.
Obama came out before the election and stated there was no problems with cyber security(he assumed Hillary was going to win) and was remiss in doing anything about any Russian interference. When Trump won all of a sudden it was a problem and impeachment was on the table. No body ever mentions that he sent people over to Israel to interfere with their election and probably a few other countries also. It only counts when someone else does it.
It really makes me wonder if they called Martial Law,, if it would really go down like THEY think it would
Im thinking No ,, and No as in not good for them
Rebel Son, I agree. If anyone targets me, I know it won’t be good for them.
If they pulled that Martial Law mess, it would of been a true mess and they would of gotten very bloodied. . .game is not over yet – they are still alive unfortunately.
I would have taken martial law under Obama before I would have taken Hillary.
Yeah I hate her that much.
Guy, I won’t take martial law under ANYONE, don’t care who they are.
Barry Hussein is a No Good stinking, sneaky, Muslim plant.
That POS is to Chicken Poo to bring it! What a numb nutz it is and a freek’n kreep! Hildabeast is a rank POS and her DOA Hill Billy too! Their supposed daughter is still ugly as she was when we cringed the first time!!!
Hey Marxists, we are waiting! That would also include the complicit Trotskite RINO’s!! Keep it up you balless ninnies!
Go ahead put up or stfu! Just a reminder we do out number you. As you know the Polls you created are B.S.!
We are S I C K of YOU TRAITORS!!!!
And take that!!!! OBOZO!! We won at least 860 Times right here!!
It is our Dream that you are erased from the US history books just like that Egyptian King they kept calling you whats his name??? Like we cared to remember that either!

This piece of human excrement Obammy and most in his administration should be dragged out by their ears into the publics view and tried for treason to God almighty and the oath they took to him, the people and the Constitution. Immediately upon conviction they should be lined on a wall and shot with the so called guns they wish to take from us. This should only be the beginning of doing what is right, we should then go back to the house, the senate, the supreme court, and do the same for them, let’s not stop let us take every politician alive and retired drawing pensions and put them in line, then let’s find those dead and dig them up and throw them in a land fill. Short of a revolution, this type of scum will never be stopped.
Both parties freaking suck, Obama a CIA prop groomed for his treason and inserted to pacify blacks and keep the killing going. What he lied about doing before elected never happened, good enough though 12 days into office to be awarded the Nobel Peace fraud. Another Pentagon banker toadie. A carbon copy of both evil Clintons. George W. Bush, what a corrupt sack of shit, one of his famous quotes “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we, they never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we”, the slip up told the truth. Look at the Bush family back to Prescott, sorry traitorous bastards. 16 years of total scumbag liar treason just this century, all of it. Yet people keep voting as if it matters, somehow the needed disconnect falls flat.
aljamo…Well said!… What the majority of these posters do not understand is that the same CIA and friends who pick Bill Clinton as their Presidential candidate,(This after Clinton agreed to let the CIA secretly manufacture weapons in Arkansas for the Contras during the mid 80’s while Governor),also hand picked Bush Jr. and than Obama.
Obama was nothing more than a slightly more intelligent clone of Bush Jr. Obama was just as Wall St.and Bankster hugging enabler, a warring,empire building stooge,a CIA and NSA enabling spy on Americans friendly and stout supporter of every US Constitution eviscerating law that Bush Jr supported,ie,the Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act.
Obama was chosen to continue the Neo-Con’s NWO agenda while blinding Americans to this fact by placing a Manchurian candidate in our deceived laps.
The Kenyan, (barackhusseinobama) and his globalist nazis, wanted America to bow to their damnable one world order. Their diabolical plan was to reduce America to a third world nation. Oh excuse me, the Kenyan decreed that it was not pc to use the term “third world nation.” Therefore we will need to revert to their properly given name of “third world hell hole”.
The half white Kenyan illegally occupied The People’s WH for EIGHT HELLISH YEARS! He was planted there by the globalists with the number one priority of disarming the American people, which he swore to do before he left office, and bring America under total control, either via Martial Law or his own mzlm sharia law.
As all can see, he FAILED MISERABLY in that endeavor, although he did succeed in causing chaos and instigating violent unrest, for which he WILL pay dearly, either in this life or the next, and quite possibly BOTH!
The treasonous vice peddling pussy grabbing genocide supporting psychopath Orange Satan Trump was put into power by THE VERY SAME Globalist Luciferian filth, who placed every vile disgusting evil piece of human filth US President into power since they murdered JFK, our VERY LAST REAL PRESIDENT. The treasonous murderous genocide supporting criminal Orange Satan Trump was placed into power for one reason and one reason only-to enact the psychopaths FINAL SOLUTION and finish off the obese, dumbed down, disease ridden, depressed, addicted to everything, Big Pharma pill popping, drunken bum, toxic dump New Babylonian American COWARD PUSSIES, and completely enslave their now doomed children they whored out long ago to these evil monsters for booze and mindless entertainment.
If you truly feel & think that way,pack up your shit & get the hell out of my Country.
I’m proud to be an American like the song says.I believe that given all the obstructions that are being thrown at him Donald’s doing a hell of a job to make the USA the best nation on this planet once again, especially after all the destruction and corruption that the last 3 administrations have brought on us.
Since Obummer did not try to impose martial law on the US then must assume no election interference happened except the voting of 5,700,000 illegals and dead people for Hillary Recall Obummer saying in a speech if you vote no one will come looking for you to the illegals. He was telling them to vote illegally plain and simple
He is the anti-Christ! Wait until he is the head of the U.N. We haven’t seen anything!
I’m going to call bravo sierra on this “document.”
Having been party to assorted Gov documentation over the years, this one does not fit what is normally seen in Gov documentation. There are numerous inconsistencies in the grammar and punctuation that do not comport with the Government Printing Office Style Guide. The verbiage is also disjointed in various areas.
The classification markings at the top of the page are also non-compliant with how these should be used.
And, if this is indeed and official document, where is the letterhead or seal on the first page. Even a final draft would have that.
This document was not signed. If in ink, this could be seen as a normal signature. If signed digitally and then scanned, this also could be seen (however oddly these appear, they are considered a valid signature in Gov world because a person can only sign their own digital signature.
I looked at the Zero Hedge story and found the link to Time. I looked at Time’s site and it only ever linked to other links within Time and each story linked only ever said “Time obtained” as how this document was gotten. How was it obtained? From their normal “sources”? From a FOIA request? Supplied by the bum on the nearest street corner?
There is too much wrong with this document for me to believe it was ever put into action as a genuine plan.
I would believe this was made up and “leaked” to give more credence to the whole Russia story.
everybody settle down, just politics.
the real meddling comes at the local level, peace groups, sister city groups.
