Cyber Warfare, Where One Man Can Pull The Strings

"With cyber warfare a single man can prepare the largest stage for a World War. While the rulers of the world pass blame and accusation from one to another, a single individual could be sitting back and watching his handy work play out on the news. They could be smiling as they watch their plan unfold. The battlefield is one where an individual, (who has recognized the ignorance of the domesticated masses), could move his pieces into place like a game of chess. The player could remain unseen by those confused leaders who send in the pawns to fight and die."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A cyberattack caused computer networks at major South Korean banks and top TV broadcasters to crash simultaneously Wednesday, paralyzing bank machines across the country and prompting

speculation of North Korean involvement.

Police and South Korean officials couldn't immediately determine

responsibility and North Korea's state media made no immediate comments on the shutdown. But some experts suspected a cyberattack orchestrated by Pyongyang. The rivals have exchanged threats amid joint U.S.-South Korean military drills and in the wake of U.N. sanctions meant to punish North Korea over its nuclear test last month.

The network paralysis took place just days after North Korea accused South Korea and the U.S. of staging a cyberattack that shut down its websites for two days last week. Loxley Pacific, the Thailand-based Internet service provider, confirmed the North Korean outage but did not say what caused it.

"Throughout the world, states that create cyber warfare and engage in those types of activities are precisely the same countries that develop nuclear weapons," Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said.

"North Korea has strongly stepped up development of asymmetrical strategy with nuclear development and many types of ballistic missiles as well as a special forces of 200,000 strong."

America Waits To Be Struck First As She Always Does

"America has a pattern, which is becoming too obvious. Our nation waits to be hit first, even though the threat is known. The nation waits because the political leaders don't want the people revolting if America were ever to make a preemptive strike. You can't always give the spoiled children whatever they want, because much of the time the children don't know what's best for them. The political leaders wait because they see the pattern as well; the people shout out "no to war", but once the enemy strikes us the people shout out for justice. So, like Pearl Harbor, and like 911, if Korea is a real threat the American people will not know till after we've been struck."

                                                               ~N. Moore

"The North Koreans need to understand if they attack an American interest or an ally of this country, they're going to pay a heavy price," Graham said on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday. "I could see a major war happening if the North Koreans overplay their hand this time, because the public in South Korea, the United States, and I think the whole region, is fed up with this guy."

Only when they attack will they pay the price... but only once they have already killed some Americans or our ally.

"He's kind of reckless right now," Gen. James Thurman, the top U.S. military commander in South Korea, said on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos" on ABC. "If they decided to, you know, resume hostilities, I think we've got to be ready to go."

"The whole time we were there, all we saw was preparation for war," Van Susteren said. "If you go inside, they have been at war with us since the early 1950s. They think that every single one of us is spending every Saturday night sitting around planning how to get them while we're busy ordering pizzas and Chinese food carryout, they think that we're getting ready for war."
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren

Crazy people and nuclear weapons who proliferate those weapons throughout the world, who support terrorist organizations, are incredibly dangerous," Graham said. "That's why we need to stop Syria from getting chemical. Chemical weapons need to be controlled in Syria; the ayatollahs in Iran are just as crazy as this guy in North Korea." He added: "This could be a nightmare in the making with these chemical weapons falling into radical Islamists. The number of radical jihadists on the ground in Syria today is growing every day this war goes on."

"In a statement released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea said, "From this moment, the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army will be putting in combat duty posture No. 1 all field artillery units including long-range artillery strategic rocket units that will target all enemy objects in U.S. invasionary bases on its mainland, Hawaii and Guam."

"North Korea has made similar statements in the past but has not included the term "No.1" until now. South Korean military experts are analyzing what that might mean. "

"There are also reports of a divide between North Korea and its traditional ally, China. China provides critical food aid and other support to North Korea but recently voted in support of sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea....China urged restraint in response to North Korea's announcement today."

"But according to Rodong Sinmum, a mouthpiece for the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), at a rally on March 8 in Pyongyang, North Korean General Kang Pyo-yong announced the military is in position to launch a "war of reunification" if the order is given. He said North Korea has developed nuclear warheads that can fit on the end of a long-range missile and are capable of hitting the United States."

"The U.S. should not forget that the Anderson Air Force Base on Guam, where the [American] B-52 takes off, and naval bases in Japan and Okinawa, where nuclear-powered submarines are launched, are within striking range of the DPRK's (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) precision strike means. Now that the U.S. has started open nuclear blackmail and threats, the DPRK, too, will move to take corresponding military action."

Every day is just another bullet dodged, another day of grace for those American Soldiers' in south korea, as they wait with apprehension.

God Is (Start Of A Conversation)

Coming full circle, God is.

I ‘m sitting at a cubicle now, drinking coffee (black), I take a small drink and the coffee is warm, smelling strong. The weather outside is overcast and cold. The thick gray clouds block the sun. I am writing to you. I’m talking to you. I’m feeling melancholy, though I’m not sure why. I’m frustrated because of many changes on the horizon… You’re seeing where I’m at this moment, but at this moment you’re in a different time and place. You saw my desk, my cup of coffee; you can even hear my tone now in your mind as you read this. We’re communicating without saying a word out loud. Do you question the importance of the written word? I exist to you, even if only in your mind, we can be sure we both are able to question, visualize, and communicate; we exist. You can’t prove my existence by any scientific means. You can’t prove how you’re able to see me in this moment, and hear my tone, yet our existence is unquestionable. Even if nothing else you saw is real, you know the words in this paragraph are, for you see them. Knowing I am actually Consul Nicholas Moore, this would take faith, but knowing I (the writer of this) exists, this cannot be logically argued.

Who is God though? This should be the question involving faith, instead of asking if God is. I have never personally met the President, but I know who the President of the United States is, although I don’t really know him… My faith in your existence is just as easy as this, even though I have never met you in person.

Asking “if God exists why do bad/unjust things happen”; this is not a logical question to start an argument against the existence of an intelligent designer. For who are you to determine what is right and wrong? You open the door for another question, “Who is the moral law giver?”

We don’t need brains to exist on a world with oxygen and sustenance. How come we're able to think as we do?

The number 2 is an even number. How do we know? Because it’s not an odd number.

A triangle has three straight lines. How do we know? Because this is how we draw and see a triangle.

The basic building blocks of life are cells. How do we know? This has been observed in science.

You are. How do you know? Because you can think; you can ask why. (This is one thing you can be certain of; you are.)

God is. How do you know? Numbers exist and they are complex. Shapes exist.  Cells exist. You most certainly exist. Science does not use chance as a means of discovering answers, there are scientific laws which govern everything, these laws of science exist, and laws are created, so God is.

You know making sense is important if somebody wants to convince you of anything. Why?

You know when you want something, and what you’d have to do to acquire what you desire.

You know the sense of satisfaction you have when you overcome an obstacle in life, and gain success. Why do you feel so good when you win?

Why are you able to question?

“I think therefore I am.” Say this to yourself. "I think therefore I am!"

If everything is meaningless, as some may declare, how could their claim have meaning?

“I am always brought back to the fact that it is only what I clearly and distinctly perceive that completely convinces me. Some of the things I clearly and distinctly perceive are obvious to everyone, while others are discovered only by those who look more closely and investigate more carefully; but once they have been discovered, the latter are judged to be just as certain as the former. In the case of a right-angled triangle, for example, the fact that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the square on the other two sides is not so readily apparent as the fact that the hypotenuse subtends the largest angle; but once one has seen it, one believes it just as strongly.”

Descartes

“But if the mere fact that I can produce from my thought the idea of something entails that everything which I clearly and distinctly perceive to belong to that thing really does belong to it, is not this a possible basis for another argument to prove the existence of God? Certainly, the idea of God, or a supremely perfect being, is one that I find within me just as surely as the idea of any shape or number. And my understanding that it belongs to his nature that he always exists is no less clear and distinct than is the case when I prove of any shape or number that some property belongs to its nature (AT 7:65; CSM 2:45).”

IQ Tests Improve In America Yet Wisdom Decreases

IQ tests improve yet where intelligence has dropped in our nation is in the most important areas.

 “We've made no progress whatsoever in terms of our political sophistication, and indeed, young people today may be worse because, thanks to their visual environment, they've stopped reading history and they've stopped reading the world's great literature."

James Flynn, academic and author of Are We Getting Smarter, became famous for finding a massive increase in IQ test scores from one generation to the next. His research has come to be known as the “Flynn Effect.”

“If the lessons to be learned in history were heeded we would have never entered into the present mess we’re in with multiple nations in the Middle East. If our political leaders took the warnings from our founding fathers’ seriously then our nation would have never been in severe debt today. If the next generation is even more ignorant when it comes to the subjects of history and classic literature, common-sense and wisdom will continue to decrease. The only hope for our nation is if the next generation will change their mind and choose to not follow the blueprint which failed for their predecessors.”

Consul Nicholas Moore

"The new frontiers are going to be the burnt out urban centers, so it might be the Millennials who become the homesteaders, farmers, and gardeners of Detroit, or Camden," says Celente. "When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it. And you're going to start seeing a lot of young people losing it in a lot of different ways."

“Gerald Celente, Editor and Publisher of the Trends Journal, believes the depressed livelihoods of today's younger generation — "generation eff'ed" as he refers to it in a recent edition of his magazine — will lead to a revolution of sorts.”

History Channel; The Game Changer? The Bible Series And Vikings

History Channel TV Series

History Channel is doing something potentially so original and thought provoking that this may be too good to last.

Is this generation ready for quality T.V Series; something historical, controversial, with quality performances, great writers, and not reality T.V? Let’s hope so.

 

 

 

Is this generation ready..?

Time for the reality T.V craze to be killed.

Sequester: If we Can’t Fix Stupid We’re In Trouble

 “Being under the leadership of dangerously simplistic mindsets proves to be ever so evident still. The old dogs prove to be stuck in their ways and ever so blind to what the priorities should be. They punish those who reveal evidence of their stupidity, yet they share all kinds of vital and self destructive information for any enemy to use against our nation. Our brave leaders give our enemies a loaded gun and then (with that stupid politician smile), they lick their lips, and then lean forward and place their foreheads against the point of the weapon. No they’re not quite that bad, for at least they attempt to look out for their own best interest. They actually place the loaded gun in the enemies hand and then help lift their arm and direct them towards the American people.”

Consul Nicholas Moore

One reason for the inaction in Washington is that both parties still hope the other will either be blamed by voters for the cuts or cave in before the worst effects predicted by Democrats come into effect.
 

"Pizza is not a vegetable silly!" Says Nicky, (a 4 year old boy).

"And what's 2+2?"  Asks Consul Moore.

"Four!" Nicky says with pride as he holds up four fingers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

"The U.S. government is the nation's largest employer, with a workforce of roughly 2.7 million civilians spread across the country. If the cuts stay in place, more than 800,000 of those workers could see reduced work days and smaller paychecks between now and September.

Furlough notices warning employees and their unions started to go out earlier this week and the pace picked up on Friday after it became clear that talks at the White House between Obama and congressional leaders would be fruitless."

"The discussion about revenue, in my view, is over. It's about taking on the spending problem," Boehner said after the meeting.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday showed 28 percent of Americans blamed congressional Republicans for the sequestration mess, 18 percent thought Obama was responsible and 4 percent blamed congressional Democrats. Thirty-seven percent blamed them all, according the online poll.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicts 750,000 jobs could be lost in 2013, and federal employees throughout the country are looking to trim their own costs.

WHEN WILL THE WORST OF IT START?

Not until April -- but some of the cuts could be felt before then.

Most of the sequester apocalypse, of which Obama's Cabinet has warned, relates to government-worker furloughs: Airport-security lines will get longer because TSA agents will work one fewer day every two weeks, thinning out the workforce; fewer commercial planes will fly because of furloughs to air-traffic controllers; prisons will be locked down because Bureau of Prisons staff will be sent home; terrorists may go undetected because fewer FBI agents and counterterrorism analysts will be working.

Those furloughs won't begin until April, at the earliest. In most cases, government agencies must give workers 30 days' notice before furloughing them. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), for instance, expects some of its furloughs to begin April 7, but it's still haggling with unions over notification procedures.

But other bad things could happen before then. State programs that rely on federal money will have to begin accounting for lesser funds as soon as President Obama orders the sequester into effect on Friday. Government contractors, meanwhile, will feel the cuts immediately.  

From  http://news.yahoo.com/6-questions-answers-sequester-075134189.html

“I am not a dictator,” President Barack Obama urged Americans on Friday to help him pressure Republicans to help halt painful automatic government spending cuts.

"This is not going to be an apocalypse, I think, as people have said," the president underlined. "It's just dumb. And it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt individual people, and it's going to hurt the economy overall."

Apparently stung by criticisms that he has overhyped the possible damage from sequestration for political gain, Obama pointed to government workers—notably the janitors who mop the Capitol floors—who will get a pay cut, as well as small businesses that rely on dwindling government contracts, and warned of a "ripple effect" through the broader economy.

"I don’t anticipate a huge financial crisis, but people are going to be hurt," the president said. "We’re not making that up, that’s not a scare tactic."

Obama has accused Republicans of refusing to raise "a dime's worth" of new tax revenues by closing loopholes that chiefly benefit the wealthiest Americans and rich corporations in order to reduce the deficit. Republicans have countered that revenues raised that way should not go to pay for government spending but to lower tax rates, which they say will create jobs.

"I’d like to think that I’ve still got some persuasive power left " Obama said. But "I am not a dictator, I’m the president," he emphasized, saying it was beyond his power to "force Congress to do the right thing" unless the American people help squeeze congressional Republicans.
