There are four pillars to the cyber war realm: intelligence, technology, logistics, and command. By understanding these factors IT security practitioners can gauge the threat to their own organization from cyber war and perhaps take steps to prepare for either direct attacks or the fallout from an outbreak of cyber hostilities between nations.

A Rhode Island Hospital was fined $150,000 after a surgeon operated on the wrong finger of a patient, and now the hospital must install video cameras in all of its operating rooms. Of course video surveillance will not PREVENT such incidents from happening, but knowing such recordings are being made will likely make surgeons much more careful…

With the threat of aftershocks in the US Stock market, continued bank closings and takeovers by the FDIC, serious consideration needs to be given to changing the current reporting, auditing and oversight regulations, and the public needs to pressure elected officials into action before our entire country is taken off financial life support.

Regardless of what you feel should or should not be private, we all have a right to set expectations that we trust will be met. And as technologists, we have the capability to improve the state of privacy in the face of technological advances that might otherwise undermine it. Privacy is not an Illusion, it is a challenge.

This is the first cogent look at the efficacy of waging strategic cyber war and I hope will serve to slow the rhetoric coming from the US Defense community about acquiring cyber offensive capability: “Can cyberattacks disarm cyberattackers? In a world of cheap computing, ubiquitous networking, and hackers who could be anywhere, the answer is no.”

Forget about vampires, ghouls and zombies. You were much more likely to receive a fright this year from something lurking in your e-mail. There were the usual crop of Trojan horses and phishing expeditions, and as the surprising list points out, some of the scares go all the way up to White House and the FBI.

I recently saw an article entitled Compliance is the New Security Standard. The basic thesis of the blog post was that since companies have to spend money on compliance, they might as well spend the money once and rename the effort “security”. This is an interesting notion – although perhaps “placebo security” might be a cheaper approach. Compliance is not equivalent to security for several fundamental reasons…

Oops, I just argued from scenario. Pundits often extrapolate from the current state of vulnerability of systems to predictions of massive power outages, financial collapse, and loss of command and control are falling into the scenario syllogism trap. Posing scenarios to support your anti-cyber war position can be just as dangerous…

President Obama justified the national emergency proclamation with the following words:
By rapidly identifying the virus, implementing public health measures, providing guidance for health professionals and the general public, and developing an effective vaccine, we have taken proactive steps to reduce the impact of the pandemic and protect the health of our citizens. As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic.
Nevertheless, the 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities.
Thus, in recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation, we are taking additional steps to facilitate our response.President Obama justified the national emergency proclamation with the following... more

There is still a lot of scareware out there, and many people still falling for it. Forty-three million in the last year according to Symantec.

"The Obama Deception Full Length" = EXTREME RIGHT-WING PROPAGANDA VIDEO
WARNING!!!!! The last 15 Minutes is EXTREME RIGHT WING And Could be offensive to most people.
It is Very Shocking to believe that the group that made this video, openly compare President Obama to Adolf Hitler and Stalin... and show President Kennedy getting his head blown off. This is not with good intentions! The people that made this movie are sick and twisted and want to excite violence... With a desire that one of their "nut case brethren will step up to the task"
I feel that this video's true intent not to educate. But, is clearly to incite violence against President Obama, and that is Criminal !
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS VIDEO?
.
My Review:
First:
The premiss is very Interesting. The History about Wall Street and our Government that is very informative. I liked when they talked about this part... But that's, unfortunately where it ends. It is soon followed by right-wing chest pounding self-serving extreme Right Wing Agenda.
Second:
The Washington DC Hotel location where the Bilderberg Commission meeting was held started interestingly but, soon fell apart also. The footage was way over dramatized with the smell of reality-show with Ballon-Boy type stupidity. Only a Right-Wing believer would drink that Koolade... For those with deductive reasoning they would see as amateur over-done and stupid.
From: 1/4- 3/4 into the Video:
It was difficult to get beyond the over-use of the word "REPUBLIC" used 96 times.
"Still, there is some very interesting subject matter here about "Wall Street" International banking and how this content fits together with all players involved in this bailout meltdown mess. "
I WANTED TO KNOW MORE, But the message was clouded by their right-wing agenda. As photos of the bombed Federal Building in Oklahoma City played in a NRA response to any loss of their much loved weapons... As if is a threat or in planting a seed before the Obama Administration take all their guns away! These are super paranoid Right-Wing Delusions, from a group of people blinded by their very own mono thinking.
My Conclusion: Very Interesting history lesson intended to covert the non Right-Wing. But, was spoiled by their own Flawed Message and over-all Paranoid Right-Wing Political Militant Thinking!
THEY NEED TO REMEMBER, THAT EVERYTHING IN OTHER PEOPLES EYES IS NOT ONLY ABOUT... BEING A "REPUBLIC".
> AFTER LOSING THE ELECTION: IT IS NOW ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY!
WARNING!!! THE LAST 15 MINUTES OF THIS VIDEO IS TOTAL "SICK" RIGHT-WING FANTASY & PROPAGANDA.
I FIND THEIR CONCLUTION & SOLUTION, SHOCKING:
This video is NOT Free Speech. This fringe group that made this video are comparing "President Obama" to Adolf Hitler and Stalin and then... show President Kennedy getting his head blown off? This was produced with very bad intentions in mind!!!= Showing this movie to any other twisted nut-case: Timothy McVeigh want-a-be... could have VERY VERY UGLY RESULTS!!! But this is the message here... AS I also assume that it is intention of the authors and makers of this Video!!!
BECAUSE OF THAT MESSAGE, THIS IS A DANGEROUS VIDEO !!!! Which is now being sent everywhere.
WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE... WHAT THESE RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS ARE UP TOO... AND MORE IMPORTANTLY... OPEN OUR EYES TO WATCH THEM ALL VERY CLOSELY!
Because, this video is a call to excite VIOLENCE and, more!! In my opinion they have crossed the legal and moral line! I am all for free speech, but, this isn't free speech anymore!!! This is much more than yelling fire in a crowded movie theatre! This video is asking for some NUT CASE out there to commit Violence ! "That is Criminal ".
WATCH IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF AND SEE HOW CRAZY THESE "WELL ARMED"... PEOPLE REALLY ARE.
OPEN YOUR EYES...TO SEE HOW FAR THEY WILL GO, TO STEAL... OUR DEMOCRACY
SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE... THEIR REPUBLIC.
