An Unkillable Zombie Myth: "17 U.S. Intelligence Agencies Found That Russia Hacked the DNC Server!"

There are many Count Dracula-type myths in the U.S., Big Lies that no matter how definitely refuted, keep rising from the dead.
In the wake of the Democrats' blowing the 2016 presidential election, a new myth was created by that party and its allies, in this case the overwhelming bulk of the American propaganda system (aka "the media"). Namely, that "all 17 intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia hacked into the computer server of the Democratic National Committee and stole emails which they gave to WikiLeaks."

Joseph "Joe" Biden, the self-styled Everyman Politician (but he couldn't do it without the connivance of the corporate media propaganda system), just repeated this "17 intelligence agencies all say" falsehood. [1] Even though it was definitively REFUTED TWO YEARS AGO by no other than the Obama regime's Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. That position, on the government organizational chart, has jurisdiction over all Federal "intelligence" agencies (including the FBI, which is officially a "law enforcement" agency).

 Not even Clapper, the man who arranged for the false report "finding" that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee computer, could kill the media-Democratic Party myth that "all 17 Federal intelligence agencies found that Russia hacked the DNC server." 

In July of 2017, Clapper testified before the U.S. Senate about the report that he personally had commissioned and overseen, which claimed, without presenting evidence (since none exists) that Russia hacked into the DNC computer and downloaded documents from it. [2] Here's the key sentence from his opening statement:

"As you know, the IC was a coordinated product from three agencies: CIA, NSA, and the FBI, not all 17 components of the intelligence community. Those three."

Then we cut to then-Senator Al Franken of Minnesota completely ignoring Clapper's statement. Note that Clapper had said "as you know," indicating the Senators already were informed prior to this hearing that it wasn't "all 17 intelligence agencies" that "concluded" Russia Did It. [In fact it wasn't even three agencies, but rather 3 "analysts" hand-picked by Clapper to write the report he wanted.] But Franken tries to "correct" Clapper!

Al Franken: "The intelligence communities [sic] have concluded all seventeen of them, that, Russia interfered with this, an election. And we all know how- that's right." ["We all know," in other words, this is now official dogma that all must believe or pretend to believe.] 

Clapper has to awkwardly remind Franken that he just told him it was three agencies: "Uh Senator, as I pointed out in my statement, uh, Senator Franken, there were only three, agencies, that directly involved in this assessment plus my office."

But Franken stubbornly tries to preserve the Myth of Seventeen: "But all seventeen signed on to that."

Clapper then finds a tactful way to say No, that's not true, to save Franken's idiot face:  "Well, we didn't go through that process. This was a special situation because of the time limits, and, my, what I need to be who could really contribute to this and the sensitivity of the information, we decided it was a conscious judgment to restrict it to those three." [In other words: "I had to make sure to fix the result."]

1]  Biden apparently plans to lie his way into the White House.
   
The bourgeois media started excitedly promoting him as the "leading" candidate even before he was officially a candidate, and haven't stopped since. No surprise there, since the propaganda system of the corporate oligarchy that holds power in the U.S. always wants the most reactionary candidate they can successfully foist on the citizenry to win. That is why, for instance, Iowa and New Hampshire, two small, lily white, very reactionary states, are deemed the first "hurdles" to the presidency that a candidate must pass muster in. This immediately disadvantages anyone who is at all progressive, as the propaganda system then pastes the label "hopeless loser with no chance" on them.. 

2]  Not only has no actual evidence ever been presented that this alleged cyber-intrusion ever occurred, since the fake Clapper report was issued it has been proven by technical analysis that the data could not have been downloaded over the Internet because of the speed of the data transfer, but rather was copied onto a flash drive.
