Hello to the Cyber Czar that is watching this right now. Please give a message to the African Colonial masquerading as a President that is destroying the country: Go F-yourself you tyrant.

Well, hard to say what’s true, but I was under the impression that the NSA was spying on internet users back in the clinton years. All that business about key words, like “Mena airport.”

It seems to me that this is kind of a meaningless gesture, intended to show that Obama is cyber-savvy, unlike what they like to think of as his chimp-neanderthal predecessor.

That has to be one bitter job for a liberal hack, sorting through the posts on the likes of Free Republic and Townhall.

militarization of the Internet.

The internet was invented by or for the military. It was originally known as ARPA-net and then DARPA-net. (Defense) Advanced Research Projects Agency. It was designed to survive a nuclear attack.

It'll survive a lot longer than the Mad Mullahs, Angry Ayatollahs, and Little Kim.

It really won’t take a hell of a lot of nuclear bombs to do sever damage to the United States.

See the article at:
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~valeri/EMP.html

Partial conclusion below:
“Electro-magnetic bombs are Weapons of Electronical Mass Destruction with applications across a broad spectrum of targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical. As such their use offers a very high payoff in attacking the fundamental information processing and communication facilities of a target system. The massed application of these weapons will produce substantial paralysis in any target system, thus providing a decisive advantage in the conduct of Electronic Combat, Offensive Counter Air and Strategic Air Attack.

Because E-bombs can cause hard electrical kills over larger areas than conventional explosive weapons of similar mass, they offer substantial economies in force size for a given level of inflicted damage, and are thus a potent force multiplier for appropriate target sets.

The non-lethal nature of electro-magnetic weapons makes their use far less politically damaging than that of conventional munitions, and therefore broadens the range of military options available.”

You can kiss the internet and your computer goodbye.

Funny how it is that when they're out of power, the left screams about privacy and Constitutional violations, even when it means destroying ongoing national security operations (re: NY Times). But once they're in power, it's time to start doing away with privacy and Constitutional safeguards...

People are leery about NSA having any sort of larger role and people are leery about this question of the militarization of the Internet. And even with DOD's statements, which I think are accurate, we're still going to have those concerns," Lewis says.

They made a great tag team.

That's a really good point. I remember the outcry when the DHS was started, and I remember thinking that they were making a mountain out of a molehill. After a while, I started thinking about what might happen if that capability were to fall in the wrong hands. Until 2006, I never thought that there were enough really stupid Americans to allow that to happen. But there were...
