Uncle CyberSam Prepares To Defend Your Internet For You
There was a time when the NSA would not know the content of this sentence minutes (or depending on the speed of typing, hours) ahead of our general readership. Those days are now gone, primarily thanks to the Patriot Act, which however merely accelerated the inevitable Orwellian destination to which American society was otherwise headed and which made constant "supervision" and "vigilance" of every US citizen a necessity (for some eyewatering details read “We Are This Far From A Turnkey Totalitarian State" - Big Brother Goes Live September 2013). There was, however, one aspect of society over which the US government did not have Chinese-type "firewall" supreme authority: the Internet. Now, as a result of an Executive Order being quietly drafted, the president of this once great country, together with the Department of Homeland Security formed in response to the events of September 11, is about to grasp supreme control over this last bastion of New Normal expression and content dissemination, naturally under the guise of protecting the people. Because as Bloomberg reports, President Obama’s administration is drafting an executive order that would create a program protecting vital computer networks from cyber attacks.
The premise: the US government needs to defend the feeble and defenseless private sector from all enemies, foreign and domestic, because, it would appear, the private sector is incapable of defending itself. And Uncle Sam is more than happy to supervise and take charge of said "defense." “An executive order is one of a number of measures we’re considering as we look to implement the president’s direction to do absolutely everything we can to better protect our nation against today’s cyberthreats,” White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in an e-mailed statement today. “We are not going to comment on ongoing internal deliberations.” Also, did we mention that the US president's decision for the greater private good would be unilaterally imposed, without the benefit of a democratic vote: after all executive orders, of the type Obama has issued 134 so far, do just that: circumvent the popular vote. We did? Good.
From Bloomberg:
The draft, which remains under review and could change, seeks to implement a key provision in a cybersecurity bill that failed to advance in the Senate last month, the officials said. The administration is contemplating using an executive order because it isn’t clear Congress would pass a cybersecurity bill.
The draft calls for the Department of Homeland Security to create a council that would work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish the cybersecurity standards, the officials said.
While the program contemplated in the draft order would be voluntary, the Homeland Security Department would require companies participating in it to submit reports describing how they are protecting their networks, the official said.
The lack of incentives and the requirement for reports could undermine the willingness of companies to participate in the program, the official added.
John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, said on Aug. 8 the administration would consider taking executive action to protect computer networks.
“If the Congress is not going to act on something like this, then the president wants to make sure that we’re doing everything possible,” Brennan said.
The pretext: Weapons of Mass Cyberdestruction. And only Obama, in conjunction with the US government, but absent a democratic vote, can prevent an all out onslaught:
Senate Republicans and business groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce blocked the cybersecurity bill. They said the voluntary standards would be a back door to government regulation of companies. The bill was sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, and Susan Collins, a Maine Republican.
Brennan said opponents misrepresented the bill, which he said called for minimum performance standards.
“Believe me, the critical infrastructure of this country is under threat,” Brennan said, adding that foreign states and hackers “are developing advanced technologies, and we have to improve our defenses on this issue.”
Obama could accomplish many objectives of the Lieberman- Collins bill with an executive order or other directive, Stewart Baker, a former assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security, said in an interview last month.
The real purpose:
Matthew Eggers, senior director of national security at the Chamber of Commerce, has said an executive order would be counterproductive and would show the administration wants to regulate cybersecurity.
The Obama administration is already circulating a draft presidential directive dealing with a related issue: collecting and disseminating information about cybersecurity threats. That reflects “early” discussions about how to update a 2003 directive for protecting the most critical U.S. assets and “is not close to being done,” Hayden said on Aug. 29.
In other words, it will be up to the government to intermediate in isolating and determining threats: for example... anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. And it will be up to the government to deal with said threat cleanly, quietly and efficiently.
Sadly George Orwell is long dead. But if he wasn't, we have some ideas what the sequel to 1984 would be titled.
In the meantime, we, together with various government bureaucrats, are already wondering what the first false cyberflag attack on US soil will be.

U.S. government keen on tracking citizens FBI installing $1 billion face-recognition system across U.S.Published: 12 hours ago
(PCWORLD) Evidence continues to mount that the U.S. government is keen on tracking its citizens.
The FBI has started rolling out its $1 billion biometric Next Generation Identification (NGI) system, a nationwide database of mug shots, iris scans, DNA samples, voice recordings, palm prints, and other biometrics collected from more than 100 million Americans and intended to help identify and catch criminals.
The FBI has been piloting the program with several states and by the time it’s fully deployed in 2014 will have at its fingertips a facial recognition database that includes at least 12 million photos of people’s faces.

This system, when it is fully implemented, will track the movement of everyone while looking for aberrations in your daily routine that may be "dangerous" or of a "criminal" nature. It is more like a super "Big Brother" from the book "1984", only far more powerful and dangerous since you can now be arrested and detained forever without being charged, told the charges against you, or even being able to seek legal representation.
Prepare for the day when you will read the following in the morning paper.
"A suspected shoplifter was killed today by a local police drone"
"a suspected tax evader was killed by an IRS operated drone yesterday on the Santa Monica Freeway".
"a local man was was killed when a police drone destroyed his home friday, the man was suspected of posting subversive and treasonous comments on a well known financial and political web site where posters write pseudonymoulsy"
I suspect the Key word here is Suspected!
He was beaten (he knew that); but he was not broken. He saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. He had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. That club was a revelation. It was his introduction to the reign of primitive law, and he met the introduction halfway. The facts of life took on a fiercer aspect; and while he faced that aspect uncowed, he faced it with all the latent cunning of his nature aroused.

Everything will be passed anyway, CISCO has already routers to monitor all trafic that goes trough their routers and hubs and switches. even if you are on the TOR network they know exactly where you come from!!! This because lamost all routers and switches in the world ARE from CSCO. This way they can regulate how much porn you watch online, and see every data you send over the net. Oh and https sites doesn't make any difference, just an SSLStrip on it and all encrypted data is visible. Good luck everybody around the globe. I guess watching porn movies will be buying DVD's again to maintain privacy :-) CSCO OWNS THE FUCKING NET!
Not really,a lot but far from all.
No one cares if you watch online porn. It's the internet version of "Dancing with the Stars".
PapaSmurf - vice is often used to entrap les moles. See Woodrow Wilson and his under age picadillos. Also, knowing the vice-tastes of the target can yield results. See Mordecai Vinunu, led astray from his purpose in going to London by what was for him the perfect chica ... and into an Israeli prison cell via an almost fling in Roma.

Not true. Telco spreads that $ around to many vendors. Take a gander @ the ALU 7750. Worked on the stuff b4 joining the KMA club.

This is of no great moment. When the grid goes, the 'net goes with it. Then we will re-discover exactly where power - and "rights" - come from: raw, organized violence...and the currency will be life itself.

There are a lot of smart people who see the Internet as the last battleground for freedom. I doubt Uncle Scam can control it completely. However, I do see them spending billions upon billions of paper fiat, on project after project, each one one falling short of its promised goals.
You grossly underestimate your enemy.
I'm more worried about the hordes of mindless zombies when the food runs out.
Just bath salt 'em.
There will be a new agency, a new budget, new employees etc etc. The task will never be accomplished due to the same lame old excuses from the likes of the SEC. We don't have enough man power, not enough dollars to spend...and on and on.
It's just like the war on terror....no clear enemy and never ending.
Glen, that's bad logic dude. The SEC chooses not to enforce laws against the bankers, This is directed at us, a little different.
Don't worry, if spam still pops up in your inbox, all is fine.

The U.S. government and the bankers that control it are the enemy. It's that simple.

I said to myself.....listening to the complete bullshit coming out of the supreme court dog and pony show debating the "tax, 'well it's not really tax', it's all in how you look It, you could call it a fine".....When I go vote this November, I'm checking Republican down the entire ballot, and also just wait untill broke citizens see their tax returns garnishes due to the Obama-care tax or fine what ever the fuck-America will have never seen so many mass shooting taking place.
I looks to me like it is getting ahead of itself and nobama-care has not even went info effect.
Just wait and see what happens if they turn our Internet into some public broadcasting station.

And just why would you think that voting will change things? Tap, tap, tap....time to wake up. Shake that dream from your mind. Here's some coffee......now are you snapping to it?
None of it matters. None of it.
Two parties - ONE AGENDA.
The banker's agenda. NOT THE PEOPLE'S.
Yeah, I get the feeling I'm loaning a hangman my rope, but anybody ( Larry, Curly, and Moe) will be better than nobama.
were you around for the "anyone but Bush" party?
dude, as the post above by Ima A.S. has eloquently pointed out - one party, you're not invited.
prezzdents are figureheads only, and as you may have noticed, they read the scripts they're handed - voting for any of 'em is totally unnecessary, as they're installed by those who run the show, globally.
no really, you've been here a while? keep reading. . . between the lines if you can.
I don't mean to pick on you, because you are probably well-intentioned, but your falsely confident attitude is just so representative of the zeitgeist here at ZH among what I must call sheeple. You write as if you are "in the know", but to those who really are in the know you appear somewhere between woefully naive and just plain silly. I'm just a guy on the internet and may well be simply blowing smoke out my ass, but having been in the inner circle of several administrations, your claim of "handed scripts" is just laughable.
Yes, there is pressure from special interests, but at the highest level of public officialdom there are no puppets. They live or die according to their own wishes and goals. What you believe---and I cannot blame you because you are more heavily influenced by Hollywood, pulp fiction, and the clowns who preach on the internet, than reality---is just stupifyingly wrong.
Dislike "the man" for who he is, because what he does is what he thinks should be done, not what some smokey, unseen power orders him to do. That belief is just so horribly childish.
the post you replied to was flippant, but your claim that I'm
just gets a /shrug from me.
your claim to having access to "inner circles of several administrations" means little to me - there are soo many circles, that an "inner" governmental one couldn't possibly yield all that much info.
being privy to an "inner circle" may even blind you to the outer ones that truly run the show - and if you honestly believe that figureheads like Obama and Dubya are making decisions from their own minds, with no strings apparent - "horribly childish" doesn't begin to describe willful disregard of the proof otherwise.
Double post.
You think so? <shakes head> You've swallowed the propaganda hook, line and sinker. G'luck w/that.
Same as it ever was, read some Chris Hedges.
I would say you are one weird bastard anal dude, and no one will take you serious if you continue to stuff gerbils up your arse!
Wow......I'm am stunned. Completely stunned by your absolute, all encompassing statement there.
Well..... golly gee wilikers, I'm so set back I, I , I just don't know what to say?????????
Hit me with some more of your wit. Please!!!!
Ima, Zh'ers are certainly better informed than the sheeple, but still, it's clear not every one of them gets it.
You sir, certainly do.
haha epic words put together :-)

Basically it's authoritarianism.
Who gave us Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the bureaucratic nation?
Partisanship is ruining us.
Fuck why the 21st century rename? American Gestapo has a nicer ring to it and it might make someone remember history. Sounds like a show on PBS. Protecting the people from anyone who would interfere with their government ruling them. Security for the owners.
I think it is a mistake to think in terms of Democrats and Republicans anymore. While both main parties would like to call themselves the party of Jefferson in that they took their names from his party, the truth is both parties are the left and right wings of the Federalist Party. Both clamor for government control and both have grown the size of government under their tenure. The Republicans have grown the government waving the flag of security and the Democrats have grown the government waving the flag of social justice. The bottom line is that now, the Government of the United States is the biggest and most powerful going concern in the U.S. and possibly the entire world. Nothing can compete with it.
The Federalist Party was a party of plutocrats. When they drew up the Constitution, they were confident that their wealth and power would enable them and their class to control the new government. That is why they saw no need for a bill of rights. Their class did not need these protections because their class controlled the government. It was the other less well franchised that feared the growth of the federal government and the centralization of power in the hands of the plutocrats. They were the ones that clamored for a check on the reach and power of this new government.
After the Constitutional Convention, the Constitution was published in its entirety in the nation’s newspapers. It was cussed and discussed in the boardrooms and bedrooms, tea houses and pubs of the nation. Two sides formed up. Those that favored the new system and those that were against it. Letters to the editors of those papers have been collected up and are called the Federalist and Antifederalist Papers. They are worth a read to get to the original thoughts of the founders.
The Federalists came to realize that they were never going to get the requisite nine states to ratify the Constitution unless they could gain the support of some of the Antifederalists. To do that, they reached a gentlemen’s agreement that if the Constitution was ratified, one of the first orders of the new congress would be to draft a bill of rights and amend the Constitution.
The Bill of Rights was the consideration given by the Federalists to the Antifederalists to get them to agree to our current government. Everyone who voted for NDAA violated his or her oath to protect the Constitution. The Constitution that was agreed upon that established this current government no longer exists.
The Federalists in their incessant efforts to increase their power created a myth early on that the Constitution was a living document that could be folded, spindled, wrapped and mutilated to support their ongoing agenda of centralized control. With the NDAA, the Federalists in both parties have successfully written the Bill of Rights out of the Constitution.
Consider this: When you have Alex Jones and the ACLU saying the same thing, it is probably true.
The nullification of the NDAA by eleven counties is very similar to Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions that were sponsored by Jefferson and Madison. Many would argue that these resolutions were the first steps toward civil war.
The irony of all of this is that if there is ever going to be a civil war in this country it will not be over food or taxes or gasoline. People riot over food, taxes and gasoline. They wage wars over freedom. Ninety nine point nine percent of this country believes what they were taught in school. They believe they are protected under the Bill of Rights. We know that they are living under and illusion. When that illusion is shattered, there will be hell to pay. Obama signed into law a bill that gives some guy he does not know, some guy that he has never met, some guy who has not even been elected yet, the legal authority to disappear him and his family. While he was doing that, he did that for all of us. He did that for you Big Sis and all the uniformed minions that would seek to protect us. Administrations come and go. Today’s winners will be shown the door tomorrow. Under the NDAA, the incoming party’s revenge can be fast and furious on past administrations. Now under these enabling acts we can all be disappeared and if you hand them the internet, no one will even know we are gone.
nice post, but yr history on the drafting of the Bill of Rights is not correct. it was drafted by the New York ratification delegation. by the time the NY delegation sat down to meet, the Constitution had already been "legally" ratified by 9 out of the 13 states. however, since NwYrk was at that time the seat of the US Capital, it held a psychological trump card and used it wisely.
can't remember if the Bill of Rights was attached as a conditional clause or not (and too lazy to look it up this morning) to the NwYrk ratification, but i do remember that there is a little known clause that allows NwYrk to "legally" secede from the Union (1 of 3 states that had that clause written into their ratification).
and yes, to allude to your explanation, Article V was deliberately vague in its verbiage (thanks to AHamilton and his Boys), so that it would favor a top-down oligarchical interpretation approach vs. open, transparent rewrites/revisions from the bottom-up.
As early as April 28, 1788, Federalists like George Washington were finding it necessary to make assurances that Federalists would have no objection to a bill of rights if the Constitution was ratified.
George Washington letter
to the Marquis de Lafayette
Mount Vernon, April 28, 1788.
“The Conventions of Six States only have as yet accepted the new Constitution. No one has rejected it. It is believed that the Convention of Maryland, which is now in session; and that of South Carolina, which is to assemble on the 12th of May, will certainly adopt it. … Now, although it is not to be expected that every individual, in Society, will or can ever be brought to agree upon what is, exactly, the best form of government; yet, there are many things in the Constitution which only need to be explained, in order to prove equally satisfactory to all parties. For example: there was not a member of the convention, I believe, who had the least objection to what is contended for by the Advocates for a Bill of Rights and Tryal by Jury.”
This letter to Lafayette is a clear example of the leading Federalist giving assurances to the doubters, i.e. the Antifederalist that there would be no objection to a bill of rights on the part of the Federalists. It must be assumed that a letter like this from George Washington went a long way in calming the opposition. This letter proves that assurances were being given by the Federalists to the Antifederalists to secure their support of the Constitution. Included in those assurances was a promise not to object to a bill of rights. On its face, I would consider this a gentlemen’s agreement between the parties.
Cloud, cool SN. And I love this quote--wisdom, yo: "Consider this: When you have Alex Jones and the ACLU saying the same thing, it is probably true."
I admire the succinct irrefutability of that one.
Thanks Clash. The thing I can't fathom is why any of this is necessary.
Constant war is necessary for the luciferian elite.
They want total control of the whole world.
They're kind of in your face. Necessary? To us or them? To them, it all seems very necessary. Luciferian NWO on the rise--nothing more or less.
Bravo
is it change we can believe in?
...ever notice how the best way to establish serious wealth in a corrupt government body or religious order is the same? All yuh gotta do is get some shitheads to agree and make your product sealed by law. Take for instance the Burka. You know those dumb pathetic weak bastards can't resist making money off of human weakness and fear of being killed for showing female face. LMAO.

Stop! Orwe(llian) will suffocate ourselves...idiot droids.
it took a few decades to wipe out the bottom 40% of the middle class, with the help of the top 60%, which now realizes that it is hollowed out as well, and capital is going to drpp the guillotine on another 20% in the new year, but don't panic...W E Coyote
Bill Clinton,go to guy...crack me up. what exactly have the teachers been teaching, by example? Didn't they get the equal opportunity memo first, running all the aggressive males out of the profession for their passive aggressive, socialist male bosses, and since when is a family defined as a single female head of household?
Don't look at the facts, whatever you do...
Make sure you put a foot on the neck of every newborn male; they are potential revolutionaries after all.
f-ing socialist revolutionary robots. keep selling oil and don't refine it yourselves...
well this is what happens to a democracy... 51% vote away the rights of the 49%. After 7 rounds of voting 1% controls everything.
This is why we were founded as a constitutional republic, to prevent tyranny of the majority on the minority, too bad the average american wants 'USA USA USA democracy'.
In fact this was even a legal concept in the founding of a company 'fraud of the minority', was a legal term to protect the minorities from the majority stealing the company's assets.
too bad we're already at the 50th+ round of 'democratic' voting
Whats funny is the gov does not check USP mail, unless there is a specific need,

Ahh just another inevitable step of an empire in accelerated decline. When a country debases its currency 99% needs to arm itself in various ways against its owns citizenary, when it serves only the interest of elite powers....the inevitable step of accelerating and extreme civil uprisings is not too far away.
Now the bankster class don't give a shit if the US is going down the toilet, so longs as they can steal every centr from it they can before it disappears around the S-bend. The bankster class are not citizens of any country, they are ticks sucking the blood of nations.
It is also inevitable at some future time that cracks do appear, tides do turn and when they do it is often with frightening speed and ferocity. Rospiere on steroids with the full backing of the people in a time of civil madness......maybe not now, mayb 5, 10 of 40 years...kings and queens and the bankster class lose their heads in blood letting at the end of empire.
And we can merrily trot down the path they have so thoughfuly dropped the bread crumbs on. They want us to revolt. They NEED us to revolt! If we don't pull the trigger for them, they have no amunition. WE are their amunition. Imagine you are a captive bear. You're just kinda laying around, not doing much. Your captor wants to kill you, but hey, you're not attacking anybody! If he killed you, he'd be a BAD CAPTOR. He's got to stir you up, work you into a mouth foaming frenzy. He sends in dogs to bedevil you. Now when he shoots you, everybody says, "Good job! That bear was crazy"! I don't see the math and financial aspect of what's going down, but this stuff is almost painfully obvious to me. It's what they're waiting for. I'm not going to load their gun for them. I will defend myself, just not from words.

DARK Internet Can Exist
One of the original intentions of wireless was to create a network that didn't rely on a hard backbone. DNS made it too easy to rely on wires. Now there are alternatives to DNS through filesharing bittorrent distributions of lists. This may not be optimal and the most efficient, but combined with wireless it could easily leak out of the control of a leviathan. Roaming proxy servers can offer connection to the underlying, but the free sharing of information can still happen.

If yu think the verbiage that I made up offa the top of my head up above is far-fetched, unlikely or overblown, then yu don't know Lieberman or the other dual citiizened kosher killer klowns or anything else of importance in staying safe n alive in this final kountdown to the the big bloodbath to kome...and might as when stay home counting down the days to yur tumbril excursion, whilst katchin up on the the latest GW piece describing how the karpet-tops did the Towers...this horror flic is all over xcept for the screaming.
The truth is they don't have to "take down" or close down Zero Hedge, all they have to do is buy it from the Tyler Durdens. It would be chump change for the oligarchy. Then slowly, very slowly turn it into the Internet version of CNBC.
The Gubmint already shadow owns it
Take a look at the bottom of the page. I know what Zero Hedge.com means, but I'm not sure what /ABC media implies. Based on the content of the site I have a hard time believing any MSM would give this site more than a cursory glance. The material is far too complex for knuckledraggers to comprehend.
(tin foil hat removed)
another effort to ruin small business with regulation. this bill is a ruse. the gubbermint sucks at security. some dude from china walked out of los alamitos with blueprints for the bomb back in the 90s. half the usa's weapons electronics come from abroad. microsoft and uncle sam are the two biggest threats to the internet. nothing a reboot to better software/gubbermint can't fix.
What does need protection from cyber attacks is for example the power grid, nuclear power plants and the like.
Nearly a miracle that there has not been a major issues yet in those areas.
It's remarkable that these assets are connected to the interweb. It was negligent design.
Most systems critical functions are not connected to the interwebs.
This is the dicktaster's propagada to scare USA people into accepting a Diktat when he could not get a constitutional act passed by both houses.
If the dicktaster were to ever be prosecuted, his abuse of power (EOs) alone should land him in prison. Forever.
hahahaha!

Gee. I am starting to think Da Gubmint may not be my friend. I hire it. I am the boss, right? They work for me, no?
Read it several times and do not see the conclusion or implication reached by Tyler. "Aimed at minimum standards" regarding a level of cybersecurity sounds far more like regulation than spying or controlling. It is more akin to emissions standards on cars than it is Hoover-esque.
Whether private business wants more regulation is a legitimate issue, and for the government---which gets hacked plenty itself---to dictate requirements seems odd, but private companies do get hacked regularly, though now it is geared more toward theft and assessing vulnerabilities than bringing down any particular system or grid.
Is the private sector capable of policing itself? China and Russia hope they think they are already doing all that needs to be done. What about municipalities that are responsible for utilities? And what about immunizing as much as possible against EMPs and solar flares, since concern is for the infrastructure?
If the US has Stuxnet and Flame, and Iran got code from China to take control of the drone earlier this year, it is rather clear that anybody's system is vulnerable. Indeed, China has cut R&D budgets because it is so much cheaper and easier to steal whatever they cannot develop from US, German, etc. companies that already have done the heavy lifting.

-and-
(2) citizen of the United States = federal citizen = citizen of the federal government, with legal domicile in D.C.

I can only imagine the percentage of Americans who have figured out that governments, all types,but lately ours ARE NOT here to help the citizenry. That may occur as a consequence of a certain policy implimentation but frame 99% of what is done by the federal goverment today with the Constitution and the government comes off for what it is, circa 2012 .... a black hole where the Bill of Rights loses it's light and the citizens lose their rights.
Our goverment has become a leviathan of repression and coercion, especially since the Patriot Act was passed and NDAA et.al.
This administration no longer deigns to even present and get passed a budget ... four years now and counting. The choose to work in the shadows with only the power elite and other totalitarian minded entities..... eg. asking Putin to "ease off" so obama can be reelected and all pretense of following the Constitution is replaced with a dictatorship.
They do not deign to hold press conferences, instead their edicts fly on the ether through emails..
"Caitlin Hayden said in an e-mailed statement today. “We are not going to comment on ongoing internal deliberations.” In other words we will not be held accountable to anyone ..we're the sole power.
John Adams was unsuccessful in keeping constitutional the Alien and Sedition Acts ( thank you) ..... if reelcted this administration will never consult our Congress but simply rule by decree. We are in financial trouble. We are in political trouble. One can not name an area where severe challenges to our freedoms are not instituted daily. The most horrifying aspect however is that obama has the backing of half the electorate, or at minimum a very large base of clueless, dependent chattle citizens who know nothing about what is at risk ...they just want the government teat and are willing to do anything to subvert this country for it.
Shut the fuck up... you keep on piling your red/blue bullshit higher and higher..its going to collapse
When I entered the CIA back at the dawn of the 1970's one of the hush hush TS programs was RHYOLYE/AQUACADE.
I am barred to this day in talking about it given that I might confirm some aspect still classifed.
What I can say is that over time (it didn't take long) I began asking myself why certain operations and programs were classsified at all.
Just take my word for it. It's simply, "I've got a secret,territorial thing" and in a vast number of situations that's all it is.
Tyler's lead is about the NSA sweeping everything now. Take a peek at Rhyolite/Aquacade of 35 years ago and simply extrapolate on what may be in place today to use as a surpression tool. Forget the protecting the citizenry, that's a load of dung. And during your extrapolation keep in mind that back in the day there weren't even computers in business. It was still the typewrire era.
Now the government in league with certain private internet companies that offer social networking are building their daata base on EVERY citizen. They are overflying our towns and cities with drones. The police are all SWAT mentality even for a routine traffic stop. Soon the government will go active with a face recognition system for ALL of us and somehow I do not see that as a benevolent move.

Most Americans are all for blanket cyber-protection, so long as it is done by US companies - or in Canada, Canadian companies - not companies like AmDocs, which is a de facto branch of the Israeli government.
This is not an "anti-Israel" statement. It merely states the obvious: That a foreign power, whether Israel, Japan, the UK, or anybody else, should not play a major part - let alone a dominant part - in security that is aimed at the US and US citizens.
I'm totally clueless as to what most Americans are all for. I'd guess that maybe,just maybe .000000001% of the Am. population thinks about cyber security. i've made the point here many times that the average Am IQ is 97-98. If most of them ever encounter the word cyber it's going to be attached to some video game.
Our government is getting away with all kinds of highly questionable, if not outright illegal activities because the average American has become a joke ....
I do agree that it is far better to have an American company handle these things but they too are easily co-opted or coerced by our government, and our governments motives grow increasingly suspect vis a vis the US Citizens interests and the US Constitution .... anybody here think obama gives a flip about what the US Constitution says? He's a trained Marxist who hates this country.
Habu?
yeah?
you're rambling.
ah, ok.....
What a totally Elitist and ridiculous comment!
No country, no region, no religion, no ethnic group has a monopoly on bright people, sophisticated people, or well-educated people.
Surely, those of us who participate regularly in world markets should know that.
There are bright and sophisticated and talented people in every group - as well as those who are less bright, less sophisticated, and less talented.
In fact, one of main pitfalls of an Elitist or Exclusive mindset is that one is prone to underestimate "The Other," whoever "The Other" is presumed to be.
Of course,what was I thinking?
I did mention this country, check
I didn't get more granular,say to the regions though,check
No mention at all of any religious or ethnic group,check
No mention of monopoly,check,pass go collect $$.check
Now I must just be stupid, since I just never would have thought.......
"There are bright and sophisticated and talented people in every group - as well as those who are less bright, less sophisticated, and less talented." Thanks for pointing that out. I must have missed that in my travels on EVERY continent on this globe over a thirty year period. Say how are things in Moose Jaw?
Heck you mean I can't just throw everybody into the same mold? Gee, I am stupid. However the average IQ of the American population is 97-98......
Golly, I'll just have to be double dog vigilant about those pitfalls. I just really dislike turning people dyspeptic.
Thank you ever so much for pointing out, "What a totally Elitist and ridiculous comment" I made.
Can you tell me what I should do with the 55 points above the average IQ I have, since I must have an excess? I'll let the government tax me more heavily ...yeah, a brain tax ....
Well at least you're safe.
Glomar says, "Can you tell me what I should do with the 55 points above the average IQ I have, since I must have an excess?"
A: Apply it to an examination of Izrahole's crimes so that you can stop being a cheerleader for them?
Or was it just a rhetorical question?
I didn't mention Israel at all in my posts or reponses although I have in the past I've decided that here on ZH it's a subject that is highly volitile and wastes time.
As for understanding the Jewish ,Palestinian,Arab situation I assure you I am well versed, not propagandized.
If we weren't talking about Jews but some other people who were surrounded geographically buy hostiles who have made no pretense of their desire toward Jewish genocide or the XYZ peoples genocide I can assure you I wouldn't be in favor of genocide. There are many here who apparently do not care if genocide is the "remedy" for their angst.
For those who embrace the total annihilation of a group, any group, then all I can say is, May God have mercy on their souls. It is doubt from understanding most all religions except Islam that genocde is not a method God graces or embeaces. But then it is your soul, not mine.
Recognizing Izrahole's crimes is neither anti-Jewish nor support for genocide: It is merely recognizing Izrahole's crimes.
People of all faiths were living peacefully together in the Holy Land (comparatively, anyway) before Izrahole was created by the satanic Rothschilds. Christians in the ME have suffered tremendously since then.
Try this Jewish run website for starters. Jews like this get called "self-hating Jews" by Izrahole supporters.
The other thing most Americans - or Canadians - would object to, if they actually understood it, is the way that cyber-security designs since the emergence of Cloud Computing have been integrated with Internet advertising.
Pretty much ALL cyber-security programs have to be embedded in visual, not print, elements.
So security companies have been permitted to take the easy way out and embed a lot of them in advertsiements, especially those of dominant advertisers, likes the banks and brokers.
But in turn, every sort of malevolent hacker in the world - including rogue nations and Organized Crime - have piggybacked on this sort of advertising -based Cloud security for their own purposes, including quite a lot of market front-running.
I am not saying anything new or shocking to readers of Zero Hedge, of course.
But we are in the tiny minority.
I don't think most Americans, most Canadians, or most world citizens have the slightest inkling that this sort of advertising-based "cyber-security" takes place.
If they did, they would be enraged.
Your opening sentence,in part:
"The other thing most Americans - or Canadians - would object to, if they actually understood it'
IF THEY ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD IT.......WOW
"The other thing".....care to dilate on your entire list of other things in your world we're not aware of? Please before it's too late tell us all of our failings oh wise one. You arrogant twit.
And you later in this tread tasked me on being elitist ..... your arrogance born no doubt of sexual frustration, is simply a compensatory facsade for being really lame in life.
But,but..I fully understand that some people are pre-born lame, that others are sophistacated lame,while yet another group is zombie lame ..etc,etc..
Goooooood Morning FEMA Camp One!
If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it. And yet --!I

"The draft create(s) a council that would work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish the cybersecurity standards, the officials said"
I see, it's actually a backdoor jobs program, to create more government sinecures for clueless, slack-jawed yokels who can't spell, much less type. "Hows you'uns reckon we turn dis heah thang awn?!"
All such articles remind me of basic rhetoical questions:
How far down the rabbit hole does Alice go?
& How far up the tornado does Dorothy go?
Both those stories were metaphors for how we are living inside of a Bizarro Mirror World, where everything is proportionately BACKWARDS.
The deeper history of success in war being based on the history of triumphant deceits has driven everything through the Looking Glass, where "national security" has become totally psychotic, and the greatest threat to itself one can possibly imagine!
This article identifies the essentail problem by "already wondering what the first false cyberflag attack on US soil will be" ...
There is no greater threat to the health and safety of the American people than the Federal government of the USA. The government is the most insane runaway gang of criminals, run by layer after layer of people who are extremley good at being dishonest, and backing that up with violence, which thereby have become totally delusional in the degree to which they appear to believe in their own deceits, and even more dulusional in the degree to which they appear to believe they can back up their huge lies with ever more and more violence.
I have become so 100% pessimistic, that I will be delightfully surprised to still be alive in 2016! Of course, I presume that by then the freedom on the Internet will be compromised down to nothing. However, I expect the bigger picture to become so, so much worse that that issue will no longer be of any importance.
Fundamentally, we have the US military backing up the US money, which amounts to atomic bombs backing up the bansters frauds. That is the biggest man-made problem that I perceive. All of that potential violence has the impossible job of defending an empire of huge lies, in the form or runaway financial frauds. Our weapons are NOT protecting freedom and democracy, nor anything else remotely like those ideals. We are NOT doing anything that makes any rational sense, when we back up electronic fiat money frauds with the threat of using atomic bombs to totally destroy civilization!
However, that IS what is happening. Currently, the INTERNET is the only place where a glimmer of light is disseminated regarding the insanity of backing up fraudulent money with omnicidal threats. Therefore, I can easily imagine that INTERNET FREEDOM being considered a threat to the established systems of financial frauds.
Therefore, everything that we hear about the Federal Government of the USA protecting us is actually all about protecting its own established systems of huge lies, backed up with lots of violence. The inherent problem with that task is that no amount of violence can every make those lies become true. The frauds are always still frauds, and backing them up with more and more threats from worse and worse weapons only enables everything to get more insane.
Every since 1947, the National Security laws have been getting more and more psychotically insane. In a perfectly perverse way, more radical truth is the worst enemy of the insane empire built on huge lies, and runaway frauds. Therefore, I expect that Internet Freedom will be destroyed, and some false flag attack will likely be the excuse to do so.
However, I would be happy if that was all that happened, since I believe that this runaway brinksmanship of backing up astronomically sized financial frauds, with the threat of using weapons of mass destruction, will eventually dance itself off its own cliff, in one way or another, whereupon, we will not have to worry about any of our FREEDOMS, since we will be dead.
