Released Hillary Clinton Emails Reveal... She Was Reading A Book On How To Delete Emails
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
As I’ve said many times before, the best part about Hillary Clinton running for President, is that she’s so unbelievably corrupt and shady, not a week goes by without a new scandal or embarrassment. It makes the insulting charade of U.S. elections at least somewhat comical.
In the latest gaffe, we learn (through her own emails), that she asked to borrow a book titled, Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better.” Chapter Six of this book is titled, “The Email That Can Land You In Jail,” which includes a section titled: “How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
From ABC News:
The last batch of Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department included one from Clinton asking to borrow a book called “Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better,” by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe.
Clinton has not said why she requested the book, but it includes some advice that is particularly interesting in light of the controversy over her unconventional email arrangement at the State Department and her decision to delete tens of thousands of emails she deemed to be purely personal.
Take, for example, Chapter Six: “The Email That Can Land You In Jail.” The chapter includes a section entitled “How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted.”
The chapter advised that to truly delete emails may require a special rewriting program “to make sure that it’s not just elsewhere on the drive but has in fact been written over sixteen or twenty times and rendered undefinable.”
But Shipley and Schwalbe warn that deleting emails could lead to future legal troubles.
Here’s a screenshot of the email from ABC:

She had an email "server" which does store the emails. Thats her excuse for security.
And Warren Harding was drummed out of office for just having friends that were doing shady things and Hillary is trying to get into office by deleting emails that prove she's the shady one
Do you think Obama pardons her??? I say no.
Karma works in mysterious ways.
If you haven't noticed, Hillary's surrogates (and their lawyers) are beginning to be treated like mere mortals by Obama's Justice Department.
I get the sense that Obama realizes this shitstorm could reach his shore. Obama would never protect Hillary at the most remote expense to himself or his "legacy".
Don't see much of Obama on the campaign trail for his old secstate, do we.
Curious.
How is it that we don't know the technical specifications of Hillary's email server?
Brand, model, operating system, application software, HDDs, size, configuration, RAID, etc, etc.
I've been hearing a number of geeks opining on whether or not Hillariy's emails can be recovered from a wiped server.
Well, it seems to me the answer is: it depends.
What KIND of an email server? How were the emails wiped? Were the HDDs physically destroyed? Etc. Etc.
If anyone knows, talk! But don't make things up.
Platte River Networks could answer those questions if allowed. HRC outsourced her server to them starting in 2013.

In other words, WE don't know.
hey!
direct this comment at newsoutlet, if you please
What are the odds it will end up like Lois Lerner's and erased with a baseball bat in an alley?
She would have hired a pro to do it because she is too god damn stupid to figure it out anyway. This may be a feeble attempt to throw folks off the trail. Whoever else might have had access to the system to do the delete, would be in serious trouble and might testify against her or give evidence. Be looking for some techie who died/disappeared or is about to.
See my comment above.
Meaning someone else had access to the server. She still probably hired someone else to come in and do the delete.
She better hope whoever did the deletions knows all about server logs.
Deleting Classified Emails for Dummies
The Clintons are just like the "floaties" in a cesspool--just the tip of the shit pool.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
As a died in the wool progressive in the Old Milwaukee school, I'm no Hillary supporter myself..... but a book that happens to include something in it is hardly news or a smoking gun. I want to learn how to write emails better too. If she would have said, "Bring in that book that tells us how to delete emails..." I would be a bit more convinced.
You have to admit, given the info already available, that this little trip-up doesn't help her "I'm innocent" plea. She is a Clinton, so there will be no full admission of anything.
Do you really think that after posting tens of thousands of emails, she really needs to suddenly learn how to write better emails?
We should be striving to get better till the day we die.
Or in Biden's case till we go into assisted living at the nursing home.
This story is misdirection. She already admitted she had a pro set it up and presumably she had a pro to delete it. The story leads us to think she is a real doer and that she would ever attempt to delete the drives herself is total bullshit. No way!
The book's title?...
"How to Remove A Mail Account for Dummies
And
surreptitiously obtain root access to the mail service in order to do it
Or
using death threats to subordinate DoS tech workers who won't do it on your behalf
(when you can't do it yourself)"...
Its like that comment she made early on where she claimed to need two devices to have two email accounts so she did what anyone would do, get twio devices and have her own server cuz we all know you can't have two email accounts on a modern smart phone.
Bullshit!
Fucking cunt. DIE bitch.....just fucking....DIE...anD take that asshole "husband" - AND your "daughter" (you know, Webb Hubbells runt) with you...
DIE FUCKERS!
Nothing good to say about Hillary?
Not even her Thanksgiving sweet potato and marshmallow casserole?
How's this for a scenario regarding the 2016 presidential election:
HRC gets bested by Bernie Sanders, who is nominated at the convention, only to die between then and the general election. The GOP nominates (insert whack-job here) instead of Donald Trump, who either lost the primary battle or failed to win at the convention in spite of supposedly winning enough delegates in the primaries.
The Democrats are left without a nominee, the Republicans are split between their coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs nominee and Mr. Silver Spoon, who himself launches a promised third-party candidacy for the White House. Nobody gets the required 280 electoral votes, and the House can't decide upon a president no matter how many times it tries.
I think something like that is very likely for next year. Such scenarios have been swimming around in my head for a while now. I wouldn't in the least be shocked. Nothing much shocks or surprises me anymore.
As long as The Donald's bombastic rants continue, party on, dude!
President Trump today ordered the arrest of Hitlery. "She looks good in Orange," siad the Trump.
Rough day for the Tsar. Not enough sleep as a cat of ours had gone missing for a day. It's 270, not 280 EVs.
Hope you find your fur baby.
Mine's been missing since last Saturday, Tsar. Been a tough week to say the least. Sure hope yours comes home; it's a horrible feeling.
Hilary is not a contender; it is Biden that will be the nominee and if allowed, then Obama will be on the Vice-Presidential ticket. Then Biden has a mysterious illness (in addition to the one he already has) and Obama then becomes President. OR we do not make it till the 2016 election and Obama is enthroned as King. No matter what, we will have another President or King selected for us as we have since I've been alive. We won't care because we will be too busy trying to survive or have our faces plastered to the TV, Video Games or SMART phone.
You gots too many uncertainities
Occam's Geezerella
Bernie has a serious 'accident'.

He's busy starring in a remake of'some like it hot'.
Would not shit on her if she was on fire
I wouldn't, either. But if she wasn't on fire, I'd save my massive morning dump with the Sports page for that pig.
wouldn't piss on her if she was drowning
Cunt is not an ugly enough word to describe this woman.
The actual adjective has not been invented yet.
Judging by all the negative comments about this indescribably ugly and revolting bitch Hillary, I'd say that she is not well liked here at ZH.
Two purposes in posting this. Look at the strike out, then read this NSA bombshell. Who cames to mind in finding loopholes?

Actually she is correct. What difference does it make when you have a get out of jail free card called a presidential pardon available on demand.
She's definitely on the Obummers short list.
Sec. of State: January 21, 2009 – February 1, 2013
This email is dated Dec. 2009.
She knew there was a problem but she had it all figure out,right? Narcissist fool.
they will let the goy fry in her own cunt juice to save the status quo.
That dried up fucking bitch...sickening.
I'd venture to call her a meat raisin, but those cankles will take decades to dry up.
I would bet every one of those maligned women Hillary shit on has a smile today.
Hillary, FYI it is called,"I'll show me".
I'm sure DOJ will vet the situation.
Along with the Planned Parenthood evidence.
Remember, she has to be convicted of a felony b4 Obozo can pardon her.
Sorry, no get out of jail free cards once Trump is President.
Smartest -Woman-In-The-World...lol.
I'm thinking cover story. She's throwing out the idea that she's deleting emails, but what she was really doing was killing people and microwaving babies.
And telling dead baby jokes.
Bill, I have some tasty fetus for tonight.
No, Thanks, Babe, Ah'm eating a 16 year-old. Sorry, gotta catch a plane ride.
No, you just can't make this $#!+ up. But, with incompetent criminals like Hitlery Rotten, you don't need to...
Cuntus Maximus. Wait, that's for Obama. I can't even think of a moniker for that utter scummy scoundrel Hillary Clinton (or "Mrs." Obama, either, come to think of it).
That is Mr. & Mr. Obama, Barry & Mike sitting in house...blah blah blah.
Mike: That cunt has to be prevented from obtaining office.
Bath House: I agree, honey.
Anyone ever ask themselves why people 69 (Trump and Hillary) or 73 (Bernie) would take on the jobe of Pres?
You would think with age comes wisdom. The demands of the job are great. It isn't easy playing golf in the heat, then travelling to make a speach begging for coin as one party or another deperatly needs it. Then there are those pesky decisions, signing laws submitted and not having enough daylight hours to even read them.
Travelling the world with the various time zones can be exhausting. Deciding who should get slaughtered on the kill list every Friday afternoon, who has to be threatened domestically or internationally to get what the bribe money wanted. Then having to do a radio show and meet the press every weekend to tell them how great he or she is and that the USA is lucky to have him or her.
That is a job for a younger person, hopefully someone whose timeline doesn't expire during his or her four year term.
You forgot the televised speeches in front of Imperial gold curtains. Reading from the TOTUS can be exhausting yo...
maybe she is hoping to pardon herself once elected?
I'm guessing Rand and Orwell never found a home in her library.
Rand? Ohhhh, you mean Alisa Rosenbaum.
Why is it only now that the "server" is being taken? That tells us all we really need to know. Raise you hand if you are tired of the Bush and Clinton gangsters? Really; are we going to have to choose between those two or perhaps Bush and a Biden; it makes no difference since the nations real problem is a moral one and everyone believes their morality is the right one. It is further downhill and the next generations to follow will be even worse except for a very few whose moral compass is fixed, as in it was predefined and does not ever change.
They had plenty of time to 'sterilize' that server.
If they didn't clean up the damning info by now and insure it can no longer be recovered, that is due to their ignorance. FBI should have just taken that server as soon as it was discovered she was using a third party for State Department communication.
There is still the counter party e-mails. Maybe if the reward is big enough or somebody pissed enough that their emails may come to light.
Agree with "sterilization" comment. They surely left 4 or so "oops" so that it wouldn't be so obvious, no doubt.
Everything that was on her server including emails should be on someone else's, as well, right? It should not take a forensic expert long to begin uncovering original documents. However, every day gives more time to cover the trail.
Personally, I say the shortcut is to simply write to the Chinese and ole Vlad in Russia. I am willing to bet they have everything that was on there.
The American people are being played like a skin flute. All part of the game.
I've been trying to tell people - since what seems like time immemorial - that this is quite possibly the dumbest broad on the planet. They aint laughing now.
Don't underestimate your enemy
No....she's plenty dumb. She's just very well connected.
Pelosi, Maxine Watters, Barbara Boxer. I would rank them (emphasis on rank) slightly ahead in the limited brain capacity arena.
They all remind me of a little baby sparrow. All mouth and all ass.
You forgot Sheila Jackson Lee.
...have a tech guy get a giant magnet from a furuno radar and pass it over all your discs. Soften him up by pretending you like men. Have a younger assistant help you play with him.
Just curious, what would be a clear indicator the bitch has entered panic mode?
Anyone, anyone?
"another" stroke?
LMFAO!!!
This bitch is going to explode.
Best case scenario will be for this bitch to resign her run. She does belong in jail (on a number of likely convictions), but she'll walk.
Hilary will be out of the race by Christmas - due process and then the exit.
97 used copies from $0.01 on Amazon, and the lady has to borrow one.
That would have left a serious paper trail.
Hitlery - the bitch that gives cunts a bad name.
Looking at the recent track record of the electorate over the past 20 years, I predict that the most slimy, greedy, incompetent, lying skank-of-a-bitch will win the presidency in 2016.....
Need I name names?
Ms. Cuntface too dumb to even just go buy the book with cash. Cheap ass cuntface borrows it from a staffer. Dumbass. Hope she gets cancer and dies painfully
Evil, like matter, cannot be destroyed. It simply changes its form.

This fucking whore thinks she's above the law and she can do what she wants. Maybe she's right, in this fucked up criminal regime in the WH and government.
The WH is behind putting her in jail.
treason, death penalty. how did she become worth $100M in 15 years without selling our state secrets?
Sheeple will still vote for her. Never underestimate the stupidity of the sheeple.
Hillary will rally, there'll be a touching story about her beating pussy cancer or some such thing, hot on the heels of the media shit avalanche that will attempt to paint everyone who hates her horrible ass as a sexist.
This "scandal" is being professionally managed and is being aired out now so that stupid people that watch Rachel Maddow and think law and Order is real forget by next summer and accept further enslavement.
Based on the number of people that watch Rachael Maddow, that's a guaranteed what, 10 or 15 votes?
This has to be satire!! You can't be serious. Hillary to make the US a more fair and diverse place? If she does make the US any more diverse we will be at each other's throats like the Balkin countries. Teddy Roosevelt warned against our country becoming "diverse." That is why e pluribus unum is our national moto - not blacks over here pointing their guns at Hispanics - whites over there pointing their guns at Hispanics. In fact, the rest of the world thinks our idea of diverse cultures joining together to form a universal culture is a crackpot idea the West is trying to foist on the rest of the world. And they want no part of it. Grow up! Try reality on for size.

OT but I just came across this Huxley quote:
"There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."

on the other hand we have been treated to many IT gaffes by this crew - the main one that comes to mind was the PDF birth certificate gaffe - so if someone says the server was wiped clean don't take it on faith!
The server is empty, just reported on Yahoo http://finance.yahoo.com/video/hillary-clinton-email-server-reportedly-110153505.html
.gov best quit trying to use NSA surveillance on the peons and give Snowden and all the whistle blowers who were defending the constitution immunity from prosecution.
This is the worst or best example of two laws, one for the rich and connected and one for the poor.

ZWO above the law swine.
Was this before or after she figured out how to use a fax machine?
Inquiring minds want to know
More Clintoris Chronicles bullshit.
So, you have a few crap emails written at the dictate of a crap CFR while fronting for a crap President. Working girls have to make a living.
Thirty thousand or thirty million. what difference does it make?
When she's POTUS there'll be no more emails, it will all be word of mouth, significant looks, icy stares and pursed lips with the letter-opener driven hard into the top of the mahogany table when it's termination time
Absence of POTUS emails will free up NSA for more snooping on 'everyday Americans'.
Is HRC’s behavior any different than the rest of the presidential aspirants (possible exception Bernie)? Let’s not forget Bush II’s invasion of Iraq- the taxpayer funded multi-trillion $ military/financial disaster (based on lies and fabrications) that provided an added bonus of leading to the creation of ISIS/ISIL/Daesh; a subject that Bush II’s brother, Jeb continues to bring up at the wrong time. While I am not a fan of Hillary, I suspect her email “transgressions” are likely SOP for many in Washington. This is a red herring.
Scariest thing is Hillary to THIS DAY still has that same clearance two years after leaving office.
Dear Congress - go get the emails off the servers of the people that Hillary would likely be sending or receiving emails with. Once you find a couple work related emails that Hillary deleted - then she goes to jail!
Why not ask the State Department for all emails sent to or received from Hillary's private email?
Hitlery would have to give herself a pardon as her first act as president.......................
"Pardon me..."
She will get a free pass, unless OUR MASTERS decide otherwise.
I would be feeling much better right know if I had some Chronic. I prefer ediible oils, just saying...

She ended the interview when questioned further, declining to say whether the data still exists on that other server and who has possession of it."

This is how Russian Internet censorship works A journey into the belly of the beast that is the Kremlin’s media watchdog
Earlier this week, for a whirlwind 24 hours, a page on one of the most popular websites in the world, Reddit, was technically banned in Russia. While it was only a part of the website, roughly a third of Russian Internet providers lack the tools necessary to block specific content within a site built on the https protocol, meaning Reddit would become inaccessible to several million Internet users. Authorities from Roskomnadzor, the Kremlin's media watchdog agency, removed the Reddit link from its Internet blacklist a day after adding it, saying the site's administrators finally agreed to block the banned content from readers in Russia. What does it mean that Russia is willing to ban one of the Internet's most popular destinations? Will Moscow try it again? Meduza Special CorrespondentDaniil Turovsky examines how Russia’s biggest censorship agency works.
The court
In February 2015, a Moscow court reviewed a case called “Navalny versus Roskomnadzor.” On January 13, Navalny's blog was blocked for three days. In court, he faced officials from Roskomnadzor, Russia’s Federal Supervision Agency for Information Technologies and Communications (responsible for overseeing online and media content). Its representatives stated that his blog was blocked due to the Attorney General’s order to close down all websites calling for an unsanctioned protest to take place on January 15, when Russia’s opposition had planned to take to the streets in protest against a trial involving Alexey Navalny, his brother Oleg, and the French cosmetics company Yves Rocher. But the court commenced two weeks ahead of time, on December 30, 2014, and announced a 3.5-year suspended sentence for Alexey Navalny and a 3.5-year prison sentence for his brother. That evening, an ad hoc protest rally took place in central Moscow, immediately after the sentence was announced, and the January rally was cancelled.
The Navalny blog post with which Roskomnadzor took issue had called for a cancellation of the January rally and for “preparations for a larger event” later. Roskomnadzor officials said the Attorney General’s office had ruled to block any websites pertaining to unsanctioned rallies.
At the court hearing on February 12, Navalny stated that “Roskomnadzor is a dubious and useless organization that aims to instate political censorship. Why did they block the post if it referred to an entirely different event?” (this quote is reconstructed from live tweets by Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, who was present at the hearing).
“The words ‘protest rally’ were in the post,” said a Roskomnadzor official.
“And what if I say ‘protest rally on the moon?’ Are the words ‘protest rally’ banned?” asked Navalny.
“‘Protest rally’ has something negative about it, probably in the word ‘protest.’ We have acted on behalf of orders from the Attorney General’s Office. If we do not respond [to the blog post], this can have negative consequences for us, we could get a warning. Roskomnadzor isn’t some kind of empire of evil,” said the official.
On February 18, the court rendered its decision: it sided with Roskomnadzor and determined that Navalny’s blog could be blocked.
That day, senior Roskomnadzor official Evgeny Zaitsev was present in the courtroom for the hearing. He had been the one to put Navalny’s blog on Russia’s Internet blacklist. But the judge never questioned him.
Zaitsev had blocked Navalny’s blog before. The opposition activist’s LiveJournal page is not accessible from Russia since March 2014. Access to the blog was closed down due to Navalny’s calls for rallies in support of defendants in the Bolotnaya Square case, a probe into violent rioting that allegedly took place on May 6, 2012, at an opposition protest in Moscow. Leaks revealed by the hacker collective “Anonymous International” (readMeduza's special report on this group) indicate that Zaitsev, before answering Navalny's lawyers in court, consulted with Timur Prokopenko, an official in the Kremlin.
After the court proceedings, I found Zaitsev smoking outside. “I’m a state employee, we don’t talk, we’re not allowed,” he said when I tried to ask him questions.
The registryRoskomnadzor occupies the top four floors of a grey eight-story building surrounded by blue spruce trees, located in Moscow’s central Kitay Gorod neighborhood. Below them are the Ministry of Culture offices. The Presidential Administration is a five-minute walk away.
Before 2012, few people were interested in the activities of this state agency. Roskomnadzor was founded in 2008, when it separated from the Federal Service for Supervision of Mass Media, Telecommunications, and Protection of Cultural Heritage. It took over the oversight of all media and communications, including the allocation of radio waves, the construction of communication links, and the issuing of warnings to media sources that violate laws (three warnings can result in closure).

From its very beginnings, Roskomnadzor would occasionally come out with statements that have now become an unfortunate routine: in 2009, they notified a history channel that the facts of World War II were distorted in one of their programs, and in 2011 they announced that a bot would carry out the task of identifying extremist statements online.
Roskomnadzor first came under the media spotlight in 2009, when the head of the agency warned media sources that they were responsible for what is posted by readers in the “comments” or “forum” sections of their websites. The official stated, “if the editorial board doesn’t want any trouble with the regulatory authorities, they have to moderate their forums.” If “extremist” comments posted by any reader are found on a media website, this could result in a warning from Roskomnadzor. Some websites closed their forums, while others hired special moderators to monitor their “comments” sections. This situation revealed some of what was to come in Russian Internet regulation. But it was only the beginning.
“Until 2012, no one needed this agency, which was mostly responsible for small stuff like radio waves,” claims David Homak, who established a popular satirical encyclopedia called Lurkmore, which had 34 of its pages blocked in 2013 alone. (He has since "frozen" the website.) “They were simple guys who weren’t ruined by money. Just sad dumbf**ks in grey suits who would come to work to put their signatures on some papers. Like the guys over at the state sewage treatment plant. Then they suddenly got famous. They became stars. Before, they’d barely get a glimpse at someone like [Echo of Moscow radio station chief Alexey] Venediktov, and now they can kick in [his] door.”
Real fame came to Roskomnadzor officials in 2012, when amendments to the law on “protecting minors from information that may harm their heath and development” were passed. The amendments are also known as “the blacklist law” or “the law on Internet censorship.” The main change the amendments brought was the introduction of a list of websites featuring “forbidden information.” The category “forbidden information” is defined by groups of experts from regulatory authorities such the Federal Drug Control Service or the State Agency for Health and Consumer Rights, and includes child pornography, information on illicit drugs, and instructions on how to commit suicide. The list was created for communications providers, who are supposed to block their clients from accessing blacklisted web pages. One of the people behind the amendments was parliament member Elena Mizulina, who is also known for her laws against “gay propaganda.”
It was expected that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would oversee the list, but Internal Affairs officials did not want to “do such dirty work,” says Artem Kozlyuk, an activist of the website Rublacklist.net, which monitors Roskomnadzor’s activities and propagates freedom of speech and information. Vadim Ampelonskiy, an aide to the head of Roskomnadzor, explained that “it was necessary to appoint a center that would simultaneously work with Internet companies and communications operators. Roskomnadzor was chosen as the agency to carry out these tasks.”
In the summer of 2012, a few days before the Russian parliament was due to vote on the blacklist amendments, Wikipedia, LiveJournal, social network VKontakte, and Russian search engine Yandex participated in the biggest strike in the history of the Russian Internet. Wikipedia placed a banner on its website saying, “Imagine a world without free knowledge. Today the Russian parliament is discussing a law that could lead to the creation of extrajudicial censorship of the Internet”; LiveJournal posted an editorial note in support of “the freedom of information”; Vkontakte, which is the top social network in Russian-speaking countries, displayed a link to the Wikipedia banner; and Yandex, Russia’s main search engine, joined the protest by crossing out the word “everything” from its slogan (“You can find everything").
Despite the protest from Internet giants, the amendments were approved by the parliament, then the President, and put into action later that year.
Crowdsourcing censorshipThe first version of “the blacklist law” was put together by the Internet Safety League, an organization established in 2011 by businessman Konstantin Malofeev, who was at the time the biggest minority shareholder of Rostelekom, Russia’s major national telecommunications company (he held 10 percent of the company). Malofeev said that “a very famous Orthodox Christian figure” inspired him to start thinking about “regulating the Internet.” Malofeev said “he just came to me and presented me with this problem.”
The biggest telecommunications companies in Russia joined the Internet Safety League, including Rostelekom, MTS, Beeline, and Megafon. Igor Shchegolev, then head of the Ministry of Telecommunications, became the head of the League’s advisory board. Activists who participated in the activities of the League would track down banned information online, focusing most of their efforts on child pornography. The volunteers would either independently contact Internet service providers and ask them to take down the content, or they would notify police about the content. The Internet Safety League also created “a child pornography database,” which eventually made it into the “Deep Web,” where one could buy it for 20 Bitcoins (about $5,000 today). The League continued to focus on child pornography from 2013 to 2015, finding 37,000 websites to ban.

Today, the biggest number of complaints filed with the government comes from activists in an organization called Media Guard (Mediagvardiya), a pro-Kremlin youth group.
In this scheme of “crowdsourced censorship,” the activists publish motivational pictures and reports on their activities in an official group on VKontakte. The page features many homophobic statements and caricatures of Austrian pop singer Conchita Wurst, who won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest dressed in drag, as a female character with a beard.
The activists of Media Guard have been working hard to close the Vkontakte group “Children-404,” an online support group for homosexual teenagers where they share their experiences and get help from volunteer psychologists.

The “Media guards” do not focus exclusively on homosexuals. They also search of any online mentions of the Right Sector, a Ukrainian right-wing organization which is banned in Russia. They also try to find “extremist signals” in opposition groups. They also monitor information pertaining to drugs and suicide. And in mid-February 2015, one of the leading activists suggested to ban websites which permit Russians to buy “sanctioned products” which are no longer available in Russia following a deterioration of relations with the US and the EU.
The Media Guard also holds contests among volunteers. For example, those who gather the largest number of links to websites mentioning the Right Sector can win a work of art from the patriotic political caricature exhibition “No Filter” (http://echo.msk.ru/blog/anzhelika_mel/1429000-echo/). Artem Kozlyuk from Rublacklist.net says that the “Media guards” compete with each other for the number of websites they report, filing thousands of complaints with the government agency. Their website (http://mediagvardia.ru/) boasts 18,787 web pages found, 2475 web pages closed. The website also features a hall of fame of the top-10 activists, ranked by the number of pages they managed to close.
The leader of the group Media Guard declined to comment. The press office of the organization said of the activists that “they do not want to speak with you, and they won’t.”

NED boyz left with too much time on their hands obviously now that Russia kicked you bum$ out.
Criminal putin regime hate propaganda 24/7 on regime controlled media has created hate society in Russia:
Russian model Natalia Vodianova rebukes cafe for forcing out autistic sister
A criminal investigation began on Thursday after the Russian-born supermodel Natalia Vodianova described how a cafe “kicked out her sister because of her disability”.
Vodianova, who has been the face of Calvin Klein campaigns and has modelled for Givenchy and Stella McCartney, grew up in poverty in the industrial city of Nizhny Novgorod, where her sister and mother still live.
She wrote an indignant Facebook post after her 27-year-old sister Oksana, who has cerebral palsy and autism, was ordered to leave a cafe with her carer on Tuesday, with the owner allegedly claiming she was frightening other customers.
Hours after Vodianova’s post, Russia’s investigative committee opened a criminal case into violation of human dignity with the threat of violence, which carries a maximum jail term of five years. It called the cafe’s alleged actions “an outrageous incident”.
The case has garnered extensive media coverage in a country where the rights of people with disabilities to equal treatment and access are still far from fully recognised.
Vodianova wrote on her Facebook page: “The owner of the cafe suddenly came up to them and said, ‘get out of here, you are scaring all our customers, go get treated and treat your child, then you can go out in the public’.”

When the women refused to leave, a security guard threatened to commit them to a psychiatric institution, she said. Police were later called to the scene and told the women that they were being detained for “minor hooliganism”.
The cafe owner’s son told Russian state television that Oksana was frightening customers by “banging her head against the wall”.
Vodianova is a long-time advocate for the rights of disabled people and launched the Naked Heart Foundation in 2004 to support special needs and underprivileged children in Russia. The 33-year-old model also served as an ambassador for last year’s winter Paralympic Games in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.

“What happened to my sister Oksana ... is not an isolated case. This is unfortunately the reality all families raising children with special needs experience,” Vodianova wrote. “It’s difficult for me to talk about this, but I understand that this is an alarm bell for society that must be heard.”
Russia has made attempts to improve the treatment of people with disabilities, especially ahead of the 2014 Olympics and Paralympics in Sochi. The country is home to an estimated 13 million people with disabilities, about 9% of the population, according to Human Rights Watch.
Trash her like you want but Hillbillie Klingon is still the decrepit, frumpy shrew whose mug I want in the "White" house when the undead storm and burn the brothel to the ground.
Onward to the collap$€!
Do we really want a president who not just doesn't know how to delete emails, but one who doesn't know how to commit serious felonies and get away with it? After the crimes Bush got away with, the bar has been set pretty high, but at least make an attempt to top him.
So, I guess Putler is doing nothing of this sort. Nor he has the whole Russia Gov in his pocket, together with his crony mafia friends. He doesn't give orders to hide the true number of Russian soldiers killed in the war he started in the brotherly country of Ukraine. And no, he is not shutting down any newspaper that is not sucking his very small dick, he is not responsible for the assassination of hundreds, if not thousands of journalists or political opponents. And he did not invaded others peoples countries, killing tens of thousands in the process, displacing millions and destroying the lives of tens of millions. Sure, it is imoral to do whatever the corrupt Hitlery does, but it is completely legitimate to commit the crimes Putler commits.
But hey, it's a known fact that if you show all the time the Western decadence and corruption you are not accountable for the disaster you brew in your own country. In Russia you show how exceptional your gov is, while you show how corrupt the West is, not the other way around. And you don't report the cancer of corruption and the disaster you created in Russia because that will be unpatriotic, and any such people should be shot to death. Or you can show some well targeted problems and blame the West for them. Talking about manhood, taking responsibility for your own actions, being responsible, sane, patriotic and not a coward hiding in the bushes.
This Devil wears Prada... :)

How about this? Plausible? I wouldn't be surprized...
Madam President, we suggest you cease playing with the briefcase we gave you that we call the football. Let us explain again its purpose and how it operates.
I don't give a shit about her summer reading.
Arrest the bitch.
