British Master Computer Responsible For Cyber Attacks on US and South Korea?


The cyberattack fear mongering seems to be dying down - at last. The earth is still here. The dams didn't crack. The polar bears are still swimming! And Megatron didn't fill thousands of energon cubes while using Soundwave to conduct a worldwide cyberattack.

In an interesting twist to my past cyberattack blog posts, it now appears that the North Korean cyberattacks may actually have been controlled somehow by a British master computer. I never believed North Korea conducted the cyberattacks -- it seemed like a way to hype up some public fear for Jay Rockefeller to get his Cybersecurity Act while the military industrial complex gets to continue fanning the war flames on the Korean peninsula.

The master computer which controlled last week’s massive cyber attack on websites in the US and South Korea is in Britain, Asian computer security investigators claim.

The attack, which paralysed the websites of South Korean and United States government agencies, banks and businesses over the course of a week, was first blamed on communist North Korea. But having traced the attack back via proxy computers used in the attack, a security company in Vietnam has identified a server belonging to Global Digital Broadcast, a Brighton-based internet television company as the source of the attacks.

Marine Corp. Times: U.S. Response to Cyberattacks is Limited!

I have no idea how our government with its advanced technology and gizmos cannot track the cyber attackers that have been hitting this country, South Korea and Australia over the last couple of weeks. It is not as if someone is doing the attacks from a basement studio apartment with drippy pipes! However, it appears nothing can be done about these attacks.

Defense and cyber analysts said Thursday that chances are high that very little eventually will be done to whoever orchestrated several days of attacks against Web sites including the White House and Pentagon as well as sites in South Korea. That’s largely because the investigation is unlikely to figure out who did it.

North Korea Reportedly Fires Scud Missiles on America's Independence Day!


We knew it was coming, but nevertheless, North Korea wishes the USA a Happy 4th of July by test firing some missiles in its arsenal. Hopefully, this test does not escalate the world's current political tension.

North Korea fired five short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

Why Hasn't Al Gore Saved His Employees Laura Ling and Euna Lee From the Clutches of Kim Jung-il?

Count me in as one of the people who was once suckered into believing the whole man-made global warming campaign. I realize now that it is merely a way for former Vice President Al Gore to fatten his pockets controlling the carbon cap exchange markets. If VP Gore was truly about protecting and improving the environment, he would speak out against GMO seeds, cloning, heavy metal dumping, depleted uranium, the Eastern Garbage Patch, water fluoridation, contaminated vaccines and electromagnetic poisoning. Instead, Mr. Gore spends his time promoting the idea that man is directly responsible for global warming (and all this time I thought the sun had much more of an effect on our planet than anything) and the only way to save everything is to pay additional taxes to some bank.

While the "cool" Prius crowd loves Gore thinking that he can do no wrong, I know he is not to be trusted and many of his employees likely agree with my opinion now. Laura Ling and Euna Lee report for Gore's Current TV, but you would not know that considering Current TV's silence about the arrest. In March, the reporters were arrested on the North Korea/China border for an "illegal entering" into North Korea. After a state trial, North Korea convicted the duo and sentenced them to twelve (12) years in a labor camp!

Throughout this entire process, where has Al Gore been? Why is he not saying anything about his employees and why isn't he trying to get them back to their families? Why isn't Gore willing to offer himself in exchange for these women?

If Mr. Gore approached freeing these women with the same passion as he does with man-made global warming and cap and trade exchanges, then Ling and Lee would have been reunited with their families months ago.

While The Goracle makes millions with his global warming hoax, he leaves his employees in the lurch. Wonder if the mainstream press will [have] the guts to make hay of this.
