Of course we here at ZH expected something like this, but can you believe her audacity? After everything under the bridge, she's going with the "I'm on your side, corporations and Wall Street must pay!" meme. It's a testament to O-fuckwads successfull deception on every one of his campaign lies. Wow, their disdain for our intelligence is growing exponentially. Maybe with good reason. Wake up people.

Most people don't get it because they assume the chain is not cut but is implied to be extended much like ... is for text. Same with the economy they assume is extended in some sorts of finacial gimmicks instead is cut loose.

If we aren't living through the fall of the Roman Empire II, I'll eat my hat.

Every institution rotten to the core, external appearances notwithstanding.  Everything a desperate distraction from the obvious corruption and blinding incompetence that pervades every part of our society.  An entire nation in full flight from ugly reality.

Hilldebeast would be the president we deserve and will probably get next.

I'd say the wealthy are doing this for a very specific reason, but I'll leave that to your imagination...

(The wealthy people of the world are afraid, they know the clock is ticking on them as the #411 is being spread online)

Moreover, you should be wise to see these assholes want to drive the whole world to madness I warn you, and it's coming trust me...

Hey, Obozo has got better things to worry about, such as...

His chilluns being stopped by cops in cities like Baltimore...

Sucking up all your everyday private phone messages...

How many days till his next expensive vacation...

And... will the Wookie spy him trying to sneak his next secret cigarette.

Sorry Federal employees, your private personal info didn't make the cut.

See, ya know whats gonna happen donthca?

A Blue Ribbon Panel will be formed to "review" cyber security on .gov networks (which is what was hacked), cost = 200 million dollars + waitress tips and 6 months.

Next, a report to a committee of congress will be put together by pimply underage staffers whose knowledge of the real world can be measured by their time on FarceBook, cost = 150 million and two months.

The committee will then review the final product and send out feelers to the assorted chip manufacturers as to who will give the highest bribe...errr, "contribution" to the services being sought (paying special consideration to the Dutch firm currently under contract providing data chips for everything from laptops to cellphones) to make them less "hackable" yet still NSA worthy, cost = unknown.

Then (after all offers are considered and the highest "bidder" chosen) the committee recommends a Cyber Security Czar be formalized as a part of the bureaucracy at the Cabinet level with a "starting budget" of TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS.

So you see, no bribe, no cost is too high to protect your .gov employees freedom ;-)

You're spot on.  This is exactly what is happening right now, under the new "CDM" program.  $6 Billion has already been allocated:

DHS Rolls Out Cyber Security Program for Federal Agencies 

May 2015 

Phase one of the Department of Homeland Security’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program will be completed by the end of summer, said an executive at Dell Inc., a technology supplier to the competing contractors.


DHS is allocating $6 billion in funding for the initiative, which will provide enhanced cyber security to civilian federal agencies. In August 2013, DHS chose the 17 companies that can compete for the pot of money.

http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2015/May/Pages/DHSRollsOu...

Previously, each government agency was responsible for implementing their own security that met the gov requirements.  Now, DHS will mandate specific products that DHS will manage and  monitor within all agencies.

All the cartoons by this guy and that other Obama-monkey-ear artist that show up on ZH masquerade as critique yet the message behind them is always the same: "Government should do more". That's why I don't like any of them. It's political agenda marketed as satire.

So, what are you looking at, indeed? A suggestion to give up more freedom for the illusion of safety. None of these comics encourage you to do anything. They're always about what "they" (the government) should do because apparently the massive wiretapping program, the Patriot Act, The Freedom Act and all 4-letter acronym acts still amount to only a door chain.

Cyber-Attack Protection doesn't mean defense from a foreign threat. The threat is you, and you're supposed to look the sketch and laugh about it while they ram another blunt instrument up your ass.

Bill and Hillary were driving one night in Arkansas and Bill ran over a family of skunks.
Bill slammed on the brakes and Hillary got out and ran back to where the skunks were.
"Bill. You've killed the mother and all but one of the babies!"
"So what? They don't have cash or knee pads."
"One of the babies is still breathing. Do you think we can get a good photo-op?
"Bill thought and said, "Well, yes. There's always some moron from MacPaper who'll buy crap like that. Bring it in the car."
Hillary brought the baby skunk into the car and put it between her legs to keep it warm.
"Bill," she asked, "What about the smell?"
"Put a cloth over its nose and it'll be fine."

There is only one reason for a US cyber-attack: the government made it possible. All critical systems are off the net unless open to the public and anyone that knows the tcp/ip protocols and other protocols knows this. It is not something that is unknown and it is not something not implemented by such agencies as the FBI and CIA. It's not expensive or difficult to keep shit off the public networks. This cyber attack mumbo jumbo is propaganda that is being used by those in control of the US Government to wage war against the general population.

Precisely. And one of the most interesting things is that the government knows of exploits and don't inform the software companies that make the software. They leave open holes so that they can exploit them. Then they claim that they need to be more involved in private security. This, aside from the fundamental holes they poke in hardware for the same reasons.

When the Roman Empire was falling headlong into oblivion, was its government as totally screwed-up as this one is?

 

Someone here said "Your vote counts", as if to say we should vote all these tax-teat-sucking buffons out and bring in a fresh crop - but a fresh crop of what?

 

Just more bribe-taking, tax-sucking parasites who cynically manipulate the masses via left or right ideology, but who themselves subscribe to only one ideology - enrich and empower self.

Speaking of the fallacious claim that one's vote counts, consider that fewer than 5% of the public (my own guesstimation) has half a clue as to what is really taking place or even gives a shit, this means that the other 95% is what we are up against. No, time spent at the polls is time spent away from practicing ones shooting skills or tending to the garden or training the dog to know the difference between unwelcome visitors and friends, allies.

US confident there was no cyber-spying breach in Iran talks

The US State Department — on the front lines of the sensitive Iran nuclear negotiations — said Thursday it was confident there had been no security breach, after Swiss and Austrian investigators launched probes into alleged cyber-spying.

 

Najafi: Israel's Spying on Nuclear Talks Expected

Iran's top envoy to the UN nuclear watchdog agency said Israel's spying on the nuclear talks was nothing unexpected to Tehran.

"The nuclear negotiations has enemies, especially the Zionist regime that does not want the talks to succeed. Owing to the same fact, they would spare no efforts and their spying was and is not an unexpected issue," Reza Najafi said on Friday.

Yet, the IAEA envoy stressed that the negotiators have always adopted the necessary precautions.

A cybersecurity firm has identified breaches in its software at three luxury Swiss hotels from a virus considered a hallmark of Israeli intelligence operations. The three hotels hosted the Iran nuclear talks.

I must be missing somethig. Though it kind of reminds me of one those weird pictures you got to stare at for a couple of minutes before you actually see the picture. Trouble is I've been staring for 5 minutes and still...don't see the point nor do I get it. I think the author should clear up our confusion and stick to writing his thoughts in words instead of drawing pictures of door customization hardware and trying to tie that to some kind of unknown political point. What IS he point?

This is no big deal.

Ya know the Chinese have already broken into the DoD and a couple ‘a defense contractor networks and stolen all of our nuke warhead weapon designs, a complete set of F-35 production shop drawings and the software code to fly that winged joke, AF practice launch codes, military logistical relationships and timetables and allegedly SEAPAC systems (submarine) design details.

So what does this new security breach mean to CHICOM MIC?

It means they will have the top brass and engineers personal phone numbers in case they want to call them at home to clarify some obscure design details that were poorly speced out in the original docs, that’s all.
