While Panetta and Clapper are a dim pair this article is worth reading as the threat is real. In Nov 2008 something happened and all the main DOD and Service Staff computer access at the Pentagon went down simultaneously for several hours. There never was an officail explanation. The time selected was perfect as i9t was right after the presidential election and one party was heading for the exits and the other hadn't taken over. No one wanted to bother with the really unpleasant imp-lications of this event. (No one political anyway. Gates knew enough to keep his mouth shut in public. I suppose there was a major uproar in the C3I community and in the upper reaches of Defense and the services. Not a word leaked out so it was a really big deal and very serious.)

I’ve come to the conclusion that all the internet and software gurus are all government agents. I don’t believe a Harvard drop out could come up with Facebook and get it to be as big and as powerful as it is without government assistance. The same goes for Microsoft.

I do know the military had the internet in the 1960s, or maybe earlier, so is my theory that far out there? Maybe the government came up with all this as a way to control us.

So, if there’s a “Pearl Harbor Cyber Attack”, caused by the government, we’d all fall in line for more “patriot act” crap.

This the same government that is working to give control of ICAN away to the UN?

I sure feel safe and secure with Peon Lanetta in charge.

I think the cyber Pearl Harbor occurred a couple of years ago. I believe we are now at the cyber Guadalcanal phase.

These bitches are going to take out the net, cell and all satellite service for a time. Probably on a global scale.

It will either be a hacker attack, or a frikin solar perfect storm. Awaiting the next possible scenario to manifest... Things have to occur in threes before they can become physical reality.

They are dropping these media turds about lately so those in the know remain unknown, and those in the dark will blame anyone but them with the capacity to coordinate and restore some order. If this can be pulled off, it will be the most fabulous thing in recorded history.

Panetta and Clapper are on the Boeing, Cisco and other corporatist lobbies to implement the same NARUS suite of software/hardware used to shut down the internet in Egypt.

NARUS, subsidiary of Boeing, based in Sunnyvale, CA. Your new Internet overlords.

I for one, welcome our new security industrial complex overlords.

I could care less if Facebook gets hammered or even some big retail sites. What worries me is another Stuxnet, only one that targets control systems on our electrical grid. Bring that down for even a few days and you’ve got instant multi-billion dollar chaos.

Its a little late for that news: horse out of barn. The anarchists/anonymous are already hacking the government target computers in the revolution zone.

http://anonnews.org/?p=press&a=item&i=483

The hackers are attacking the servers in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen. Saudi is next. These people are organized and thrive on chaos. http://www.facebook.com/opfreedom

Yemen http://www.facebook.com/opyemen
Libya http://www.facebook.com/oplibya
Bahrain http://www.facebook.com/opbahrain
Iran http://www.facebook.com/opiran

Example Quote:

Operation Iran
Okay, Congrats EVERYONE! Mohakemeh.com is suspended! We hit them a little hard it seems.

More than a little scaremongering. As a software professional I understand the vulnerabilities, but am keenly aware that humans have a tremendous ability to work around any breakdown.

Does he mean something like an unknown person/entity suddenly selling off billions of dollars of stocks in hours? If so so what? No one considered that worth investigating even though it nearly tanked the world’s economies in one shot.

This coming from the profound head of intelligence who didn’t see Egyptian unrest coming, or Ft. Hood killer, or underpants bomber, or Time Square bomber? Panetta may be asleep at the wheel, or like the rest of the Obama administration and czars - under the influence of the dark side.

pretty sure if china ever wants to, they will quite literally shut the lights off in the US, along with who knows what chaos in our financial, internet, and military traffic.
