This post assumes you don't believe the official story of 9/11. If you do, you might as well switch over to Fox.com instead.
The USA had been running exercises to test our preparedness for a 9/11-like attack. It became obvious to many that wasn't much of a coincidence. Years later, things stand out as perhaps preparing for the next "terrorist" attack.
(Unfortunately, this blog started in 2004, so I don't have any of my notes from before that)
In 2006, I noted that the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK were preparing for a cyber-attack.
In 2009, I noted that the NSA was teaching our own troops to take down the USA network.
Today, I note that all 22 European states, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland did a similar exercise.
Any bets on which country is going to start the claim of global cyber terroist attack against them? How about bets on which laws go into place afterwords to "protect" us?
Here's the report from that exercise.
ReplyDeleteSince the RIAA now runs the DOJ... how about Protect IP? Anyone want the music industry to make non-censorship a felony?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... from Wikipedia:
ReplyDeleteThe Twenty-fourth Air Force, with the cyber operations mission, was activated under AFSPC in August 2009, at Lackland Air Force Base.
And how about the FBI telling Congress that terroist cyber-attacks are an imminent threat?
ReplyDeleteThink the Gas lines will be involved? They will if DHS has anything to say about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the winner is... The USA!
ReplyDelete"White House sources partly confirmed that U.S. government computers — reportedly including systems used by the military for nuclear commands — were breached by Chinese hackers."
And it continues to escalate:
ReplyDelete"U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta has warned that the country is 'facing the possibility of a "cyber-Pearl Harbor" and [is] increasingly vulnerable to foreign computer hackers who could dismantle the nation's power grid, transportation system, financial networks and government.'...
actually, wouldn't dismantling the nation's power grid effectively do the rest?

ReplyDeleteOh my, who to believe? How about both and neither?
