I pray for our divided country. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prophetic book from a counter-intelligence expert in 2016 *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2018* Multiply-decorated US Naval officer Malcolm Nance’s period of active duty was between 1981 and 2001, during which time he worked as a cryptology specialist and took part in counter-terrorist combat operations in Iraq. Fluent in Russian and Arabic, he is the author of several books on Islamic terrorism including the NY Times bestseller ‘Defeating Isis.’In ‘The Plot to Hack America’ pub July 2016, Nance details how the DNC was hacked by two separate Russian-manufactured malware programs identified by cybersecurity professionals as ‘APT-28’ & ‘APT-29’. Starting in early 2016, thousands of emails plus cellphone, address and credit card details were stolen from everyone formally associated with the US Democrat Party. The book demonstrates why this hack was more complete & effective than the physical break-in to the Watergate offices on the orders of Richard Nixon in June 1972, which it resembled in all essential respects.The author lays out the history of Russia’s covert intelligence operations over the decades and demonstrates how we can be certain that the ‘Cyber Bears’ are the product of the FSB (ex-KGB), GRU (Russian Military intelligence) and Russian criminal cyberwarfare subcontractors. Common KGB/FSB MO is that when physically breaking into someone’s apartment, the intruders ensure the occupant returning home is greeted by “calling cards”- cigarette butts stamped into carpets, household contents thrown about and ‘something unpleasant’ left in the toilet bowl. True to form, the Russian hackers deliberately left metadata behind in the DNC servers to advertise their successful break-in and ensure any competent IT professional investigating the breach would quickly discover the hackers were state-sponsored actors operating out of Moscow. Moscow then weaponised the hacked data and timed its selective release through Wikileaks in order to cause maximum damage to the Clinton campaign and suppress the vote for Hillary Clinton on election day.These same hackers have been active in Lithuania, Georgia and other places, and in Estonia where they virtually shut down the country after successfully hacking and taking control of the power station network. They supported Marine le Pen in the French presidential election by attacking TV Monde in the “cyber-caliphate” false-flag operation. In France they failed despite their efforts, whereas in the USA they succeeded.According to Nance, the strategic objectives of this 7-stage Russian operation included:• To damage Hillary Clinton sufficiently for her to lose the US presidential election which she would otherwise win• To install the favoured Russian candidate, Donald Trump, in the White House• To damage/weaken NATO by getting the Russian-picked presidential candidate to publicly trash its reputation and proclaim NATO has "outlived its usefulness"• "Repatriate" marginal ethnic-Russian regions like Crimea and the eastern part of Ukraine with no effective opposition from the westAnd further:• Force the USA into isolationism and weaken/diminish it internationally• Bring about a new world order in which a renascent autocratic Russia would “call the shots” in the eastern hemisphere with an isolationist (obedient/compliant?) USA acquiescent/supportive of Russian actionsWikileaks has for years been credibly suspected by many to be a fully-owned arm of Russian military intelligence created to damage western democracies under the pretext of “government openness”. Nance doesn't go this far, but names Wikileaks “Russia’s laundromat” as they were an essential part of this cyberwarfare attack.The worrying questions are: to what degree was Trump aware of this Russian plot to hack his opponents when he made public statements on the campaign which demonstrated he knew about it in advance and publicly praised Wikileaks, and to what degree did he and his team actively assist the Russians? Is this treasonous, and can a sitting president be indicted while in office?TPTHA was published prior to the Russians’ widespread election-day hacking of the voter rolls in Democrat-voting districts in swing states designed to suppress the Democrat vote and deliver the election to Trump, so was highly prophetic at the time of its publication.The book is a fairly easy 153-page read, beefed out with 20 pages of appendices and 31 pages of endnotes. It's very thorough and professionally written. The sub-title of this July 2016-publication should be updated from “tried to steal” to “stole”. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Overview of a Troubling Time *by D***E on Reviewed in Canada on 11 February 2017* Read this book if you want to connect the dots as to what is going on in the States with this whole Trump thing....scary but true, backed by numerous sources and other things you can verify on your own with the abundance of info that's out there. Although understanding it all helps, it's too bad those Republicans that aren't speaking up or who still support the Trump agenda don't seem bothered by their candidate in the least. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105995729-the-plot-to-hack-america-how-putins-cyberspies-and-wikileaks](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105995729-the-plot-to-hack-america-how-putins-cyberspies-and-wikileaks) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
