If you think there is no difference between a RINO and a hardcore Stalinist commie, you are foolishly mistaken. I don’t like RINOs any more than any other conservative, but we have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what the Stalinists who ran the WH from 92 to 2000 gave to our enemies. Gertz has done a good job of exposing the Clintons, who were guilty of ‘sins of commission.’ Bush has been weak, too, but his wrongs fall more into the category of ‘sins of omission.’ Not excusable, but hardly on a par with taken campaign contributions from known ChiComs and rewarding them with missile-guidance technology. And the Clintons are still at it. Let’s not forget their recent campaign scandals involving the ChiComs.

Yup. Try colleges and universities. We teach them how to do what they do, and we pay them to do it while they’re here.

I assume in any hot confrontation with china, the US military and government would see exactly what they can do to US networks. Trash-talk and one-liners aside, I assume this would not be pretty.

[WoofDog123]

Where would I find a list of the IP ranges used by China and Russia? simply banning both makes too much sense to not do it.

Let them in and let them conviently find the plans for a nuclear retaliation if they mess with Taiwan.

You could also provide credible plans for overthrowing their government.

Please Jack, Freepmail everyone per Satindoll:

With all this penetration, is it possible that China is planning an attack on the US by using a DDOS attack? Maybe, and I’m just guessing here, but from what I have seen before on other networks, is it perhaps that they aren’t looking just for information. I’m not 100% sure on this, but it fits a scenario that I’ve seen elsewhere on a much smaller scale.

"'This kind of an effort requires a massive amount of money and resources,' Paller told SCMagazineUS.com."

Why would he tell such a lie, especially while our business and government leadership is funding China's military buildup?

"Paller said that monitoring all internet traffic – including email – to government and private-sector networks is necessary...In November, President Bush requested $154 million in funding for what is expected to be a seven-year, multibillion-dollar program to track cyberthreats on government and private networks."

Oh, I see... so their MS-using, degreed retards can help to railroad and imprison more victims whose computers have been cracked and controlled by their US-educated, offshore PLA employees.

They are waging war on us and we can’t even get them adjust their currency. Something’s not right here.

The truth of the matter is that China has been adjusting its currency. But that raises the prices of Chinese exports to here (the USA). Our import business and government leadership don’t want the dollar to go down with respect to foreign currencies, and they don’t want freight fuel to go up. After about 40 years, our bosses’ (both political parties and most of the biggest businesses) game is about to end. They’re freaking out, and they’re lying to us.

I say let ‘er rip. May oil go to $200 per barrel and the dollar to equal the yuan. We’re spoiled rotten. We need to learn some lessons and get right with G-d, family and country (in that order—not the other way around).

Maybe the gov't should switch to Macs.
I keep reading on FR that they are hacker-proof :)

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Does this make it clear that we cannot again have a Clinton in the White House.

Consider the possibility McCain is a tool of the Chinese communists... they had him as a captive for quite a while...

[iopscusa]

Yep, McCain is a tool, just not sure whose tool he is but I too would bet on the Chinese communists... they had him as a captive for quite a while, 5+years is long enough!

We recently banned all Chinese IP addrs at the firewall. We get less than 0.1% sales from China and most of those are stolen credit cards anyway. (We banned Russia years ago for the same reason.) .

That must be a massive database, though. I already hit the size limit for my .htaccess for my site denials..there are so many IP adresses. You must have to work on it constantly.

Any tips will be appreciated!
