CLASSIFIED: TOP SECRET - NOT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE JANUARY 2021
SUBJECT: RUSSIAN RESPONSE TO SENATE DECISION
In the immediate aftermath of this Senate’s actions regarding A Bill to C.A.P.T.C.H.A. (Create a Procedure to Combat Hacker Attacks), the group of hackers responsible for the 2020 hackings have threatened to expose the classified secrets of the US Government, American businesses, and the financial and personal information of at least 100 million American citizens.
While the Russian government has denied any culpability for such threats, the threats have been credibly traced by the Central Intelligence Agency to “Fancy Bear” and “Cozy Bear,” the two hacking groups under the oversight of the GRU, Russia’s intelligence service. The hackers have made the following demands in exchange for not exposing the aforementioned information:
1. Nullify the results of the 2020 presidential election, and inaugurate President Trump for a second term in office;
2. Withdraw all American troops from Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East;
3. Remove all sanctions on Russia and Russian officials, and allow American businesses free rein to conduct business in Russia.
Simultaneously, multiple developments have occurred. The Pentagon has lost contact with American forces and command structures in Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
USCENTCOM and USEUCOM databases are offline, as is the White House-Kremlin hotline.
Panic has erupted across the nation as Americans grow increasingly frightened of their personal and financial information, including Social Security numbers and bank routing numbers being compromised. It is feared that the American people will begin to withdraw their money from the banks if this threat persists. A depression unprecedented in scale is possible: the Dow has dropped by 2400.18 points, and the Dollar has fallen 16.2% against the Euro, Yen, Pound Sterling, and Renminbi.
In response to the economic panic, the Federal Reserve has lowered
interest rates into negative territory, and the FDIC is preparing to seize local and regional banks to protect Americans’ deposits. Riots have broken out in several cities, with supporters of the President taking to the streets and people raiding groceries and wholesale stores, oftentimes violently. Governors of all 50 states have mobilized their National Guards.
In response to Russia’s demands, the Department of Defense has urged this Congress to pass legislation containing either offensive or defensive strategies. Senators will advocate for one of the two pieces of legislation introduced, keeping in mind the demands Russia has made to the United States. It is crucial Congress makes a calculated decision to protect the fate of this nation.
