Get Ready for Digital False Flag Attacks
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Get-Ready-for-Digital-Fals-by-Rob-Kall-110531-128.html

The US has a history of false flag attacks being used as excuses to start wars. The problem is, to be effective, false flag attacks require bombs, blood, death...

Now, the Wall Street Journal reports in a top headline, front page article, Cyber Combat: Act of War, that the US is working on developing a policy that defines cyber attacks-- hacks, computer sabotage-- which cause damage or death, including damage to our economy, as acts of war.

One idea gaining momentum at the Pentagon is the notion of "equivalence." If a cyber attack produces the death, damage, destruction or high-level disruption that a traditional military attack would cause, then it would be a candidate for a "use of force" consideration, which could merit retaliation.


The article reports that the military will consider such acts to be cause to retaliate with military, hard weapon attacks.

1. At least they are trying to build a case.

And think it through.

Does that also apply to uses of technology, or technology filters by various state and private sectors that create situations that are harder for many people, either by bad education, like defense of sadism, or by lack of information by censorship of any idea that conflicted with far right capitalism or plutocracy.

Side note, I am still due beer and travel money, and many experiences.


And if a company does more harm, then help. If they create more hardship for more people then they benefit. Are they protecting the system or causing the problems.

And if the ownership paradigm, and consolidations are protected based on claimed ownership that can not be defended, then which side would those laws protect, the people or the money.
