White House Confirms Sony Hack Is "National Security" Matter, Merits "Approporiate Response"
Absent YouTube clips of young North Korean hackers actually attacking Sony, the Obama administration appears to have made up its unequivocal mind that they are responsible... (even as they say the Sony hack origin is still under investigation) and now...
- *SONY HACK BEING TREATED AS NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER: EARNEST
- *EARNEST SAYS SONY HACKING MERITS 'APPROPRIATE RESPONSE'
The White House spokesman added that daily meetings are being held on the attack. We wonder just how soon it will be before the Nobel Peace Prize winner decides it's time to take 'action'.
Additionally...
- *EARNEST DECLINES TO SAY IF N. KOREA RESPONSIBLE FOR SONY HACK
- *EARNEST DECLINES TO SAY IF OBAMA, ABE TALKED SONY HACK ON CALL
- *EARNEST SAYS U.S. SIDES WITH ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ON SPEECH
- *EARNEST: PULLING `THE INTERVIEW' A DECISION SONY SHOULD MAKE
Of course, there's another reason...
- *EARNEST REITERATES CONGRESS SHOULD PASS CYBERSECURITY BILL
The Obama administration is viewing the massive hack attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment as a “serious national security matter” and is considering a range of possible options as a response, Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday.
The Sony Pictures situation was the first question Earnest faced at Thursday’s midday press briefing. Earnest was careful not to say that the White House believes North Korea was behind the attack. He emphasized that the investigation into the attack is “progressing” at the FBI and Justice Department.
Earnest made it clear that the issue has engaged top administration officials who have held daily meetings on the matter in recent days. He said the administration is considering its options once the investigations are complete. He wouldn’t specify other than to say that a response would be “consistent with how will we protect against, monitor and respond to cyber-incidents. This is something that is being treated as a serious national security matter.”

Sounds more like National INsecurity.
This will be used to make the internet less free.
Obama Internet Protection Suite 1.0 in 3... 2... 1...
Also to be made by Quality Software Services Inc.
Quality you can retry on.
Incidentally, we wonder if thepiratebay.se takedown was related to the release of "We need to talk about Sandy Hook" documentary?
Apparently that's getting yanked all over the internet. I haven't followed the Sandy Hook stuff all that much, but it must have really hit on something.
Footy of 'dead' crisis actors waking up and saying "alright, let's get some beers!" would do it, I hope. But then again, if free-falling towers can be blamed on fence-cutting-amateur-flying terrizz, then people will believe anything.
So what jew is gonna be in line to get this CZAR title paycheck?
Sony is getting a lot of free advertising here.
Does Sony have the magic cufflinks as well?
I would say a movie calling for the murder of the leader of NK is a National Security matter for NK also.
Also don't fuck with Koreans, North or South. They are the nicest people but if you piss them off watch out.
Yes Mr. President, most Americans are stupid and unable to see through the bullshit.
Must... Lock... Down... Internet!
We blamed some folks
We Grubered some folks:

Don't care about this hack. Not a national security matter. It is a SONY matter. We have sufficient internet security now. Need to find the .gov security types that have this problem in their portfolio, expose them to public ridicule and then fire them.
Situation over.
If it is a National Security matter and we take out the midget, imagine what demolishing the Russian economy is? And what is the measured, proportional response is?

When the banks are "shut down" due to insolvency and they blame it on the hackers, you will then know why......
The fact that the United States government is completely corrupt and criminal on so many levels is more of a national security threat than some fucking hacked emails and movies from Sony.
You know your government is a complete joke when __________________.
Well, Rogans dance card just opened up.

It's probably one of the most important documentaries ever, would rate it up there with "The men who killed Kennedy". Here is the torrent:

Sandy hook documentary is very informative. I'll sum it up for you...
All the "victims" fall into 1 of 3 categories.
1) Dirty
2) Really Dirty
3) F'ing Filthy Dirty Traitors
Yeah, some of the victims parents acted in theater so obviously the shooting was staged. These guys (probably intelligence fuckers - because hell, how will they get increase budget unless there are a bunch of US wackos), who keep perpetuating this hoax shit, are sick.
Any place where I can still find it?
And why isn't my TOR showing any videos? Don't feel secure on Mozilla, where they do work. And why will my Tor browser no longer show me the formatting options for ZH postings?
We just gave you the link in we above post....
Don't you mean "I just gave you the link..." Asshole
And you can find it on youtube.. it's pretty hilariously stupid if you have any logic skills.
No. We can't say that because we managed by PAL.
Yes, thanks, but it's not working...
It claims to be "Downloading", but nothing happens.
"Your torrent file download will start in a few seconds...
You can use magnet link to download."
Yeah, right. Still nothing. If I click on the "torrent file", I get the option to download...

Is this it? Thanks.
And now they've got you.
Say what? Please elaborate. Thanks.
BTW, there are lots of Sandy Hook clips on YT. Which title?
This is the link that worked for we?
Yes, just tested again and it works but had to accept the SSL cert. If it's easier, there's still some of them up on Youtube.
Ah, I think I got it...
Had to download the Torent Viewer, and now it seems to be downloading the file via this Viewer.
we need to talk about Sandy Hook is still on youtube. http://youtu.be/_ABKrvYXRak
Here is a link to the torrent:

Never let a "crisis" go to waste.
Wonder what "freedoms" we'll lose next because of this.
We've lost the freedom to watch this shit film so there's at least one positive.
It'll air eventually. After all of this free advertising.
Not until Sony/Hollywood get some super special tax breaks to offset their "losses" to "terrorism."
THEN it will be released and will be an instant hit!
We are so gullible.
Well, you can't go to the movies on Christmas and see exploding heads with flying head chunks. So, there's that.
Crank up the tyranny & opperssion another notch, Eee-gore.

Did he mention how many jobs were created?
Sony's fault.
Sounds like they don't know how to secure their own network, essentially left themselves wide open. I've seen these bad practices before, like allowing employees to bring their own laptops and plug into their network. It sounds innocent to some, but some of these users have computers so badly infected with crap it amazes me just what is tolerated.
The best proxy for an attack it the email attachment. I worked for a company where I would go nuts because our highly intellegent CEO would call us because when he opens his 'attachment', nothing was happening.
Idiot.
Sony should know better since thier playstation network was hacked so badly a few years ago.
Riddle me this.
Target gets hacked 100 million people. Home depot gets hacked 100 million people. VA patients info get hacked. NO THREAT.
Sony gets hacked some Jews get into trouble and all of a sudden its a national security threat. What do you think Hollywood is hiding? It couldn't be that the Hollywood elite tribesmen got caught pedofiling the actors and actresses for the last 90 years could it.
That story came out just before the Cosby story and then somebody realized that the public didn't care about the Cos story. So they had to come up with a bigger cover story.
Wow, I can't imagine the size of your tin foil hat. I certainly hope this doesn't become another conspiracy fact down the road.
Not my conspiracy.
sober look at accusations that lend themselves to sensationalism, Amy Berg's An Open Secret looks at the sexual exploitation of teenage boys in the entertainment industry by the older men who can make or break their careers. Though its premiere comes at a time when some other long-ignored Hollywood sex-crime cases (like rape allegations against Bill Cosby) are drawing new attention, Berg's film is very tightly focused, examining just one arena of abuse and dutifully addressing only cases in which an accuser is willing to appear on camera. Observers here assure us that these stories are the tip of an iceberg, but Secret is wary of vague accusations and hearsay; it also, despite multiple references to Bryan Singer in its accounts of hedonistic parties, steers clear of airing the accusations that one of its interviewees made in a lawsuit filed earlier this year, then withdrawn after the accuser's prior inconsistent statements emerged. This praiseworthy caution will likely keep the doc from attracting as much attention as many seem to expect (despite a surprise or two involving non-celebrities late in the film); it will play best on cable, where with any luck it will encourage other victims to speak up, and enlighten the parents of showbiz aspirants about the industry's dangers.
It seems show biz of all sorts attracts attracts people like that.
Jimmy Saville in the UK does not appear to be an outlier at all.

I agree other than the "Jew" reference. It has nothing to do with race or religion. It has to do with elites protecting the elites. Politicians protecting their big money contributors. Criminals protecting fellow criminals.
I thought about the contributors also. But answer these questions. Hollywood is run by? And the big money contributors are? I'm not trying to throw any one group of people under the bus but the common denominator keeps coming up the same. This has all happened before maybe you can recall the 1920's - 1930's.

December 19, 2008 | JOEL STEIN | LA Times
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

So... "Eyes Wide Shut 2"?
You forgot JP Morgan being hacked...
Or, could it be that a lot of the green-screen productions Sony has in their hacked systems are what is presented to Joe Sixpack as reality, such as Sandy Hoax, chopping off of heads, etc.??
As anyone who has seen my posts on ZH over the years is well aware, I am far from the brightest bulb in the room. But when I first saw the trailer for this movie some time ago, I remember saying to myself "This is going to cause problems." I'm finding it hard to believe that no one way up the food chain from where I'm sitting saw this coming.
The "appropriate response" would be to release the movie and tell the short fuck in North Korea to get the fuck over himself.
But I digress, it all bullshit propaganda anyway.
The last we heard, at least a couple of months ago, he hadn't been seen for a couple of months.
Where is Kim Jong Un, and why hasn't he said anything?
apparently he's back now, something about a wooden leg and limping around. Put on a few pounds too while his minions are eating tree bark.
I see Kim jong-un is reading this.
This entire scenario is ridiculous. For a company, Sony, to intend to make money by being upset because they did a I'll-poke-you-in-the-eye-and-when-you-go-nuts-I'l-ask-my-government-to-pay-for-it, is the most ludicrous thing one can imagine. Lots of chat about "free speech" being thrown around. Free speech also means you can't say things like "fire" in a theater. Sony went to North Korea's "theater" and yelled fire and is now upset. How stupid can you be.
As to Seth Rogen, one of the Most Disgusting Men on The Entire Planet. If you watch The Green Hornet, there are numerous shots where they show you a non-disguised (less "pleasant" angle shot) of him and he looks like the fat, jowled pig he is. At 32, he looks 50.
Apparently Rogen complained about the rating of Zach and Miri Make A Porno, because after all, Rogen is Exactly the guy you want to see having sex? Or not. Not. Not.
Never believed in forced sterilization but to prevent Rogen from passing along his genes into the gene pool...
sony left pictures of their junk on the cloud? lulz
lol -- "national security" annoucement? They want to stir up some trouble, is my take on that headline. :-) War would be good for the bankers, one would think.
Why not take on China as well as Russia at the same time.
A two front war always ends well.Just ask Adolph, or Napoleon..
Oh wait....
And why don't we call it an act of terrorism while we're at it? After all, it did impact corporate income and that can't be tolerated.
Oh no, here comes another red line to be crossed without anything being done.
North Korea hacked Sony? Come on. They are still running computers with vaccuum tubes and large blinky lights. .gov wants us to believe that they have a sophisticated hackers at their disposal?
Anybody has sophisticated hackers available - if you are willing and able to pay their price.
Attack on North Korea was Direct Response to Video/Movie (hack)
Here's Susan Rice with the familiar fairy tale:

isn't Sony a japanese company?
Damn it you beat me to it
Certainly the US has vital interests with Sony.
Vital. Interest.
Yes Vital interest indeed. Who else will supply porn in bluray quality to the IRS?
Crony
Yes, they are. Which makes this much more intriguing. Apparently, Sony (a Japanese company) is sufficiently involved in manufacturing the propaganda used by the global power structure (HQ in US, but a globally dispersed group) that an attack on their infrastructure is viewed as a threat to the Ministry of Truth. We are way down the rabbit hole at this point.
Guess the Japanese are demanding action or they will stop printing in order to buy US debt.
A movie studio gets hacked and its time for war? Really? Obviously, Sony deserves to be made whole by US taxpayer for "The Interview".
The devil makes work for ronery hands.

Well, Russia's not biting on the bait. Maybe we can start a war with North Korea.
That would be China to you.
Who gives a shit about Sony pictures.
All the politicians on their payroll, that's who.
and that's why the taxpayers will foot the bill.
secondly, they can't risk jeopardizing the propaganda mouthpiece. ideology needs support.
It's obviously unprovoked aggression.
The US never hacks records of foreign corporations,
or attempts to harm their businesses,
much less intentionally do damage to the economies of other nations.
So, was it AlQaida in Korea? Or was it masterminded by Putin?
Was it a sneak attack by disgruntled Japs?
Anyhow, why would Kim be angered?
The US has never assassinated any foreign leaders, never even tried.
We will know as much as anybody after Kerry tells us they have the "hard evidence"
(which of course will be unavailable to the public for national security reasons).
And because the US never starts trouble, any response will be an "appropriate response".
(Maybe, but how likely is it that Obama and Bush will turn themselves over to the Hague?)

Memo to NK:
If you think it was easy to break into Sony, you should try the USA's SCADA software. Granted the latter could be considered an act of war, however, the "Concilliatory in Charge" is quite "flexible" on these matters.

Obama will bow down. No political gain as no African Americans were harmed.
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that Sony was a Japanese company? How the fuck is that a national security threat? Oh wait they pissed off all the tribe members at Sony pictures, got it.
Is there any truth to SONY being an acronym for Standard Oil of New York, which is, I'd gather, Rockefeller?
The regime to announce that it was really Russia behind the breach in 3..2..

I thought Global Warming caused Sony's internet problem ?
We need moar carbon taxes on everything.
Funny isn't it how the Norks bother to hack Sony but not our criminal government-their nemesis.
Or is Sony® the Nork's primary political opponent?
How damaging would it be to play audio of Boehner & Pelosi & Obama staffers & aids negotiating with donors or reveal some of their emails, or retrieve and post the entire unedited Lois Lerner email block-(that isn't even encripted and is duplicated in 2000 different locations).
....and the Norks bother with chicken racial jokes at Sony?
Riiiiiight!
This is all about Obama keeping the public busy and distracted and not focused on his multi-front across the board treason against America.
You have to admit it's a pretty good ploy.
Create so many acts of treason that trying to keep track of them all causes your brain to shut down from overload.
More treason? Oh well, so what's new?
I can only hope NK opens up in my lifetime while I’m still a Yute and [fairly] virulent … ‘cause many of those NK women are very hot [imho]. The mixture of all those Chinese tribes produced some sensational women.

So when is Sony coming out with a "Life of Brian" type parody of Mohammed?
"Camel jockey turns Prophet for profit."
Does this mean there is an 'Earnest Goes to Guantanamo' in production?
Geez, All over Sonys own "False Flag" Hack insurance scam for a bad movie that the Feds told them "Not to show" that was going to be a flop.
Surely the sheeple will be lead astray.
This is the only way they could get the total insurance payout on the movie and more due to "other" covered events.
So easy to se a dead man could.
the white house runs honkeywood.. the mulatto in chief reviewed and approved the fucking movie in the first place... you think the puddgy little psycho doesn't know this... he obviously has a mole in somy... so the hack is a big stick in obumbler's eye... and he reacts as usual... bends over spreads his cheeks and says ... be gentle .... and then opens the door to cuba.. another commie country.. this is what happens when you have a bath house towel boy running the show... and every tough guy dictator knows he is stupid and weak... and horse face is as stupid as he is ugly... their idea of negotiations is to concede everything and then beg... and then act surprised when they get kicked in the teeth...
North Korea threatens and the libtards in Hollywood shake in their shoes.
What a bunch of pussies.
Is there such a thing as Japanese Lightning?
Granted, Kim Jung Un or whatever the f his name is (the guy with the bad haircut and baby face who kills all his relatives) should be strung up by his nutsack and smashed with Louisvilles in the face until dead, BUT, on an official US level, we have a Constitution, and as far as I understand it, the Right to Freedom of Speech. And the courts have ruled, as far as I know, that freedom of speech is protected so long as you are not threatening harm to someone...
My point is, even though Kim Jong Un is a fktard, doesn't our Constitution prevent us in the US from making a movie which threatens to assassinate him, in no uncertain terms, complete with planning, state sponsorship, etc?
I hate to say it, but I'm siding with baby-fk-face on this one. And on top of that, we allegedly have a no-assassination policy for country leaders, right? So we are double fking this up.
And if not, and if we are going to ignore the US Constitution, and ignore our policy of no presidential assassinations, and furthermore allow the violation of the first amendment, would someone PLEASE, PLEASE, FKING PLEAAAAASE make a movie asap about assassinating Tyrant Pig Obama?
The Obola Administration is as certain of the Sony hack being carried out by that overweight guy in NK with the funny haircut as they are with who shot down MH-17.
With that level of certainty, facts simply get in the way.
Aaahhhhhh......NK must be sitting on some gold hoard that needs liberating!
Very unlikely a company doesn't invest in security products to protect their IP considering most of it is digitally saved.
There's no way a network monitoring device wouldn't have been able to pick up some computers sending to unknown IPs especially given the amount of data that was supposedly sent.
of course it's a national security matter.... the propaganda department has been hit.
