Iran und Russland mischen sich nach Angaben des amerikanischen Geheim\u00addienst\u00adkoordinators aktiv in die Pr\u00e4sidentenwahl ein. Sie verbreiteten Falsch\u00adinformationen und h\u00e4tten illegal pers\u00f6nliche Daten registrierter W\u00e4hler erbeutet, sagte John Ratcliffe am Mittwochabend bei einer kurzfristig einberufenen Pressekonferenz. Die Daten k\u00f6nnten missbraucht werden, um W\u00e4hler falsch zu informieren und Verwirrung zu stiften, sagte er weiter. Iranische Stellen h\u00e4tten bereits E-Mails verschickt mit dem Ziel, \u201eW\u00e4hler einzusch\u00fcchtern, sozialen Unfrieden zu sch\u00fcren und Pr\u00e4sident Trump zu schaden\u201c, sagte Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n

Wie er zu der Auffassung kam, dass diese E-Mails Trump schaden w\u00fcrden, erkl\u00e4rte Ratcliffe nicht.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I often will read something in German, read it again, and ask myself „Does this really say what I think it does?“ before searching a dictionary for a word or a phrase.<\/p>\n

\u03a9\u00a0\u03a9\u00a0\u03a9<\/p>\n

Come to think of it, I have this experience with news in English as well, in which case there is no dictionary search available for reassurance:<\/p>\n

USA Today<\/a>:<\/p>\n

„These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries,“ Ratcliffe said. „We will not tolerate foreign interference in our election.“<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

The late-evening announcement by Ratcliffe and Wray, who did not take questions, didn’t go much further than alerts\u00a0issued in August when intelligence officials warned about the activities of Russia, Iran and China.<\/p>\n

In that bulletin, the chief of the National Counter-Intelligence and Security Center said that Russia was actively working to „denigrate“ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, while China viewed\u00a0Trump as „unpredictable“ and preferred\u00a0that he not win re-election.<\/p>\n

The analysis also concluded that Iran was working to foment division and undermine Trump in advance of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grave takeaway here for American voters clearly is we\u2019re under attack, and we likely will be facing this challenge through November 3rd and beyond — so updates like these will be necessary as developments warrant,“ Sen. Angus King, I-Maine said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What dictionary can I consult to get a translation elucidating what is to be understood here of the proposition American voters are under attack \u2014 not by American oligarchs who actively use American politicians to disenfranchise voters and keep the spectrum of available public discourse punishingly narrow \u2014 but by desperate Russians, Iranians, and Chinese (does Ratcliffe believe employees of the foreign services of these countries are all equally desperate? How does he gauge the desperation of a political analyst in Tehran as opposed to an FSB employee in St. Petersburg<\/span>?)<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The officials did not lay out specific evidence for how they came to pinpoint Iran, but the activities attributed to Tehran would mark a significant escalation for a country some cybersecurity experts regard as a second-rate player in online espionage.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

A top cyberthreat analyst, John Hultquist of FireEye, said the striking development marked \u201ca fundamental shift in our understanding of Iran\u2019s willingness to interfere in the democratic process. While many of their operations have been focused on promoting propaganda in pursuit of Iran\u2019s interests, this incident is clearly aimed at undermining voter confidence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the Associated Press piece<\/a> published here by the Inquirer says „officials did not lay out specific evidence“ if you read carefully through the article you will find that in fact no sort of remotely general evidence is in any way at all even alluded to. Claims are made. End of argument. Wire pieces like this are picked up by papers across the country, and published as is, but it’s not a wire service issue, as both the New York Times and Washington Post \u2014 you know, the Free World™ newspapers of record \u2014 do the same thing. Government officials make completely unsubstantiated claims. New facts are now to be debated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
