Hacker Group Purportedly Leaks Enormous Cache of Kremlin Files
BOOM!


The international community understands quite well what a formidable force Russia can be in cyber space, but this week it looks as though the tables may have been turned just a bit.
The abject buffoonery of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been astounding. We once looked at the Kremlin with fear and angst, afraid that Putin may one day snap and take aim at someone, somewhere. We almost believed that he could unleash his full arsenal and accomplish just about anything.
As it turns out, Russia can’t even keep the Kremlin’s computers safe.
ANONYMOUS is claiming to have leaked a trove of Russian files after allegedly hacking government departments.
The vigilante hacker group has apparently made good on a vow to infiltrate and disrupt the Russian war effort.
The group got their grubby little paws on a treasure trove of information.
According to reports, Anonymous has breached Kremlin institutions and Russian companies in the cyber attack.
Their data dump includes over 200,000 emails from the Russian Ministry of Culture, which has oversight over censorship, archives and art.
They also hijacked emails and data from a state-backed oil and gas company called Aerogas.
Now the only question is what good will come of the leak?
The global community has been kept largely at bay in recent weeks, with Putin and his cronies continuously dishing out nuclear threats against anyone who dares to interfere in their plans for Ukraine.

NEW NATO NARRATIVE: Ukraine Can ‘Win’ War with Russia
Know one would have even considered the possibility 3 months ago.


Well that is one heck of a turnaround, eh?
We’ve gone from watching Russia amass an enormous fighting force on the borders of Ukraine, (all while telling the world that it was all routine and to butt out), to watching those same tanks and personnel roll into the sovereign neighboring nation, all the while worried that Russia would simply steamroll Kyiv and take the whole country for itself in a matter of days.
Nearly three months later, and that story is changing…and dramatically.
Ukrainian forces say they have pushed back the Russian military in the region around Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, and near the border with Russia, continuing a counteroffensive that has prompted Russian troops to withdraw from around Ukraine’s second-largest city.
Then came a surprising suggestion.
NATO’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Sunday that “Ukraine can win this war” following an informal meeting of the group. His comments came after Finland announced it would apply to join the military alliance in what marks a historic move for the traditionally neutral Nordic country.
Joining the military alliance will “maximize” Finland’s security after Russia’s unprecedented invasion of Ukraine in February, President Sauli Niinisto said.
Sweden is expected to follow suit with both applications likely to enflame tensions between NATO and Russia further. Moscow warned last week of “retaliatory steps” if Finland joined the alliance.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is drinking the proverbial Kool-Aid as well, having claimed that Eurovision will be able to hold its enormous, annual songwriting competition in Mariupol next year.

Look around your country. See the struggle in real time. Watch how hard it is for the rest of this nation to get to where they need to be, every day, and ask yourself “why does it need to be like this?”.
And then realize that all of this trouble is coming to America in what was supposed to be the launching months of a new “roaring twenties”; as COVID faded and the economy roared back to life, America was poised to be a global show for the ages.
Instead, the last year and a half have been filled to the brim with turmoil and strife and not much nice.
US President Joe Biden is taking his lumps on account of it.
An NBC News poll released Sunday shows Biden’s job approval rating has plunged to a fresh low, with just 39 percent of Americans approving of the job he’s doing and 56 percent disapproving.
This was a new milestone for the reluctant leader.
Those numbers represents the lowest mark of his presidency.
Inflation, the economy and border security are the three main areas where voters see Biden failing them. The overall cost of living is standing as the public’s top issue.
Biden’s approval rating has experienced a few brief reprieves over the course of his presidency, but has continued on a steady decline almost from the start.
