POPSWe’d All Be Better Off, If The Internet Was Never Invented Cyberspace is the last bastion of free speech and source for non-corporate news and information we have. It's also a thorn in the eye of those who would like to control everything we read and everything we say. All under the guise of "national security". How much do you wanna bet, that these current so-called "cyber attacks" are false flag operations? I'll eat my hat, if they ain't. we’d all be better off if the internet was never invented We? Who we? I know who'd be better off and it sure ain't the little people. :mad:

POPSCyber-Security Bill Permits President to "Seize Temporary Control of Private Sector Networks During A So-Called... Emergency The bill would allow the president to unilaterally declare "a cybersecurity emergency" for non-governmental computer networks in order to respond to a threat. Other sections of the bill go even further: they proscribe government-controlled certification programs that license computer security professionals. And it goes on to demand that certain, privately-owned computer systems and networks be managed only by those professionals who have achieved the federal certification. In all seriousness: if you were elected President and wanted to transform the U.S. into a third-world banana republic like Venezuela, how would your policies differ from those of Obama?

POPSAnother Power Grab? "Clinton, of the Internet Security Alliance, praised President Obama's May science policy review, which he said would take cybersecurity in the right direction by promoting incentives to get the private industry to improve its own security measures. But he faulted the Senate bill, which he said would centralize regulations for an industry that is too varied to fall under the control of a single set of rules without endangering the economy and security. "We think a lot of things need to be done to enhance cybersecurity," he told FOXNews.com, but this bill is "not something that we could support." " Here's my simple thought: At what point do we say 'stop'? At what point is the government taking things a step too far? When will Americans wake up?

POPSBill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.) "The language has changed but it doesn't contain any real additional limits," EFF's (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Tien says. "It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There's no provision for any administrative process or review. That's where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it." Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, . . .

POPSDHS Chief says Cyber Security 3.0 Needed We need to move cyber-security from the 1.0 to the 3.0 quickly. We appointed a deputy undersecretary for cyber. The direction I gave him was: Hire the best and brightest to bolster the cyber-security center

POPSFederal Web sites knocked out by cyber attack The feds need to admit that this is a devastating problem for them and they do not have the internal skills, nor do the beltway bandits and most other contractors. They need to go out and get the true professional white hats and solid cyber security firms to help deal with this head-on. To compete with the people who have these skills the US Government needs to hire the best of the best (much like they have top gun schools). We have lots of military hardware and military might, but we severly lack the skills the enemy of the future - that of the cyber realm.

POPSMore Czars Than There are in the Russian Section of Hell The Obama Administration is not the first administration to appoint someone with broad powers to oversee a function. You know. A “czar.” So, why stop at 25-30 czars? Why not appoint a bunch more: * Gaffe Czar: Joe Biden. Sure, he’s vice-president, but he’s already doing the job of Gaffe Czar; why not make it official? * News Czar: Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf. You knew him as “Baghdad Bob.” He’d fit right in with this Administration. And it would give Robert Gibbs a break from having to make up explanations for things all by himself. * Anti-semitism Czar: Jeremiah Wright. He’s already promoting anti-semitism as much as anyone is this country. This would give him a larger platform. * Fashion Czar: Michelle Obama. Remember Jackie Kennedy? Michelle Obama is equally qualified. Except for having poor taste in clothes. And men. Previously, we’ve had Drug Czars, Energy Czars, and so on. But, Barack Obama has gone Czar crazy.

POPSShould President Have Wide Ranging Cyber-Security Powers? If it is deemed necessary to shutdown the internet then does it not follow that cell phone communications systems and land line systems will also need to be shutdown? If the goal is to prevent citizens from communicating with each other then what about the postal service? What about transportation systems? Financial systems? Once these networks are shutdown there will be no communication among the citizenry. What scenario are our leaders playing out that would require such drastic restrictions to us? Under the guise of encouraging private-sector solutions this bill represents a very disturbing trend. And with the ability for our government to access all information we voluntarily give through our cell phone applications and other databases, it is extremely detrimental to our personal freedoms. This bill in the hands of another George W Bush could devastate the American way of life.

POPS China's Cybertooth Espionage These reports come while the Obama administration is conducting an extensive review of the nation's cybersecurity situation. That report was due April 17 and expected to repeat the recommendations of a study done by the Center for Strategic and International Studies at the request of President Bush. A year ago, the computer network at India's Ministry of Internal Affairs was attacked by Chinese hackers as were the government of Belgium's computers a month later. A cyberattack in June 2007 crippled Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' computer system, leaving some 1,500 Pentagon computers offline for weeks. Among the military units that have been successfully "hacked" are the Army's 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and the 4th Infantry Division. The Canadian research group Information Warfare Monitor reports that a cyberespionage network based in China had infected 1,295 computers in 103 countries and penetrated systems containing systems containing . . . .

POPSFederal Authority Over the Internet? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 WHOOOA! This has to be protested big time. If this is permitted to happen we are all royally screwed, since the Internet is the Mass Communications structure of this era. The government used to be able to block radio &TV (probably still can and would) but right now it is not possible to close down the loop and voice of the Internet so easily. Unless this happens and we cannot let this happen. EFF is right, this is very dangerous. Hopefully people start organizing now and figuring ways to setup P2P and Mesh systems that can perhaps bypass the normal Internet and circumvent any blocks the government (any government) that is put into place.

POPS Extraordinary Powers What the Goracle Giveth the Messiah May Taketh Away It's worth noting that this kind of "safeguard" is exactly how Skynet got its foot in the door. When Mother Jones and Jules Crittenden agree, isn’t that a sign of the apocalypse? Both take a hard look at the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, S.773 sponsored by Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The bill addresses the need to protect vital networks from cyber attack, but it gives a lot of power to the executive branch — perhaps too much power. http://www.suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2009/04/what-the-goracle-giveth-the-messiah-may-taketh-away.html suitably flip.com

POPSThey have our jobs, we owe them money and now this! There have been many reports by the BBC and other notable news sources that China was threatening and waging a new war with us, even while we are borrowing money from them, to buy the crap they put on our shelves at Wal-mart and Target, having taken away our manufacturing jobs to sell the crap to us. They use the money to make nice roads and rail systems for themselves while we bicker about it, and then... and then? And then they spend our billions on spying on us and breaking into our own computer network. This is not scaremongering but fact. Wake up people!

POPSAP: Spies Compromised U.S. Power Grid WTF?! This is absurd. Our power grids are outdated and obviously vulnerable to state sponsored terrorism (call it what you want, thats what it is). What do we have to do to convince our "leaders" to ram legislation through Congress and mandate an overhaul of our national power system? Nails all of O's agenda too: economy, jobs, energy, education, and now, homeland security (I know, health care not part of it, but you get the point). C'mon you elected officials...can someone please take the ball on this and run already?

POPSElectricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies "These are pure speculations," said Yevgeniy Khorishko, a spokesman at the Russian Embassy. Wang Baodong, said the Chinese government "resolutely oppose any crime, including hacking, that destroys the Internet or computer network" and has laws barring the practice. Utilities are reluctant to speak about the dangers. "Much of what we've done, we can't talk about," said Ray Dotter, a spokesman at PJM Interconnection LLC, which coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in 13 states and the District of Columbia. He said the organization has beefed up its security, in conformance with federal standards. Specialists at the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, a nonprofit research institute, said attack programs search for openings in a network, much as a thief tests locks on doors. Once inside, these programs and their human controllers can acquire the same access and powers as a systems administrator.

POPSChief of Homeland Cybersecurity Resigns, NSA a Rogue Power You cannot get a more credible report on the dangerous system of "Homeland Security" being set up, which is channeling everything through the rogue NSA, which essentially this chief says is becoming a Homeland Tyranny. Rod Beckstrom here is playing the part of a true Patriot: "Even from a security standpoint," Rod Beckstrom, the head of the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Center, told United Press International, "it is unwise to hand over the security of all government networks to a single organization." Since he resigned, that is probably the most mildly he ever stated it. Americans should take note and act. Homeland Security Act should be rescinded, which essentially consolidates everything into one rogue power, a Leviathan devouring our Bill of Rights.
