On May 23, 2017, the House Intelligence Committee held another hearing concerning the alleged Russian hacking of our election system which really isn't about hacking, it's about Russian "active measures" which really means disinformation and influence operations. Of course as a citizen researcher/sort-of-journalist, my response is that the Russians don't need to engage in disinfo in the U.S., our own mainstream media does that job. If Russian media does counter messaging to our mainstream disinfo operations, then Russian information must be good. It would be nice if it was that simple but it isn't. The apparent objective of the Infowar is Infochaos.

The best question of the day during the hearing goes to Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA). She asked Brennan "Are Russian Oligarchs encouraged to invest in the United States"? Listen to what Brennan says – and watch his body language.
