I wrote an article not to long ago about the Chinese Philosphy of Warfare from which I drew upon information written by 2 Chinese military men in a book titled "Unlimited Warfare". I also took that lesson to discuss our Christian battle against the forces of darkness, and not flesh and blood. An article in Wired News dated 4/18/2005, revealed that the United States is starting to think in the same terms as it's "friend" China. They have incorporated an elite team of hackers not for defensive actions but offensive ones. They have formulated an elite formidable hacker posse. Described in this article as a multi million dollar weapons top secret program. They are ready to launch a bloodless war, of which I have described in another article wherein I wrote about future wars. This war they could engage at a moments notice could wipe out entire networks, electrical grids, telecommunications and the financial markets in one fell swoop.
I knew it wouldnt be long before the US thought on this level as I said before, we will look more and more like the enemy in order to become the sole power on the earth. The American hegonomy is the goal but it is a subtle goal of the New World Order as well which desires to combine us all into a one world government under the United Nations. Russia, China and the United States vying for the position to be the head of such a world ruling government just as Rome did, are beginning to look more alike everyday. They have taken the concept of Unlimited Warfare drawn it to it's ultimate conclusions and rather a war with one another the three great powers who could wipe each other out, will utilize their strengths to become world rulers eventually. Either all three will become an unholy union tri-lateral base of power or their will be a final great war, fought in the realm of future wars between all three to determine the winner. Out of this a New World Order will be born in which freedom of anything will be the last concern of any elitist, American, Russian or other because true power corrupts perfectly! The country that ends up with the biggest, baddest, and truly destrutive toys wins.
Onto the article I mentioned.
The group was revealed in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in March of 2005. Military leaders from the U.S. Strategic Command, STRATCOM, disclosed the unit.
The unit is known as the Joint Functional Component Command for Network Warfare, or JFCCNW.
This unit is charged with defending all Department of Defense networks. If people will but recall it was the DOD who designed and put forth the Internet in the first place, so in truth the entire American network is theirs anyway.
The unit is also responsible for the highly classified, eolving mission of Computer Network Attack, or as some military personnel refer to it, CNA.
As a joint command unit, it is most likely made up of personnel from the CIA, National Security Agency, FBI, the four military branches, a smattering of civilians and even military representatives from allied nations.
Some of the U.S. military's most significant unified commands, such as Stratcom, are undergoing a considerable reorganization. Stratcom, based at the massive Offutt Air Force base in eastern Nebraska and responsible for much of the nation's nuclear arsenal, has been ordered by the Defense Department to take over the JFCCNW.
If people recall this is to where the President was being flown to during the 911 incident.
"Wired News" sent questions to Stratcom and recieved a response from their spokesperson, "The DOD is capable of mounting offensive CNA. For security and classification reasons, we cannot discuss any specifics. However, given the increasing dependence on computer networks, any offensive or defensive computer capability is highly desirable."
The ground was prepared in the summer of 2002, when President Bush signed National Security Presidential Directive 16, which ordered the government to prepare national-level guidance on U.S. policies for launching cyber attacks against enemies.
Air Force Major General John Bradley was quoted at a meeting of the "Association of Old Crows, as saying in a speech he gave that "I've got to tell you we spend more time on the computer network attack business than we do on computer network defense because so many people at very high levels are interested."
The Berg execution available to be seen by the Internet sparked a huge debate, and this is sparked more interest in controlling content at times and just who and what can be provided on Networks across the world.
The government has been known to exercise their power over communications before going back to the war in Bosnia.
The scary thing about it all as some computer experts will agree on saying is: should we utilize cyber attacks, what may happen as a result of us using viruses, trojans, etc, to stop terrorist hackers, shut down their web sites, or more.
Dan Verton, a former U.S. Marine Intelligene Officer who wrote the book called
"Black Ice", stated that "The reality is, once you press that Enter button, you can't control it," he said. "If the government were to release a virus to take down an enemies' network, their radar, their electrical grid, you have no control what the virus might do after that."
So being on the offense can be as dangerous as the offense on a system network.
What this reveals is that at least our government is thinking in the same terms as those who might hate us or want to harm us, by utilizing a team that could hack the offenders, they could put a stop to their attack.
Thus, the Chess games go. The offender makes a move, and your move should not only be defensive but offensive. Unlimited Warfare. You fight fire with fire!
But, as we all know, and I know for sure as a former Firefighter, sometimes, the wind changes, sometimes the dew point shifts and bam the fire is in your face.
We must be careful that in action we take, we must always remember first and foremost, what freedom means.
Now if and how these actions are taken against, non-citizens and other countries, is not my concern. My concern is should these actions be used against Americans or America, then we must ask if they are justified and extremely dangerous to our own freedoms and society.
We were told that all this Surveillance that President Bush keeps asking for would be used only against suspected terrorist or foreigners, but now we find that isn't completely true. Actions that had been legalized such as the Patriot Act and Bush's cry for other means and ways to surveil, have often been used against U.S. citizens having nothing to do with security against outside offenders.
We must always, as I have said in the past, beware of those that offer security in exchange for our liberties. If we simply beome a closed society, everyone spying on one another, everyone being locked up for whatever reason can be conspired or created, if we have Police on every corner of our streets, our movements, our speech limited by approval of higher governing authority where shall we differ from them, and what freedom shall we offer. "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts".
A trojan horse gift can be masked in gold but inside is an insiduous evil just waiting to destroy a free society.
We must be vigilant in guarding all our rights of freedom of speech, gun ownership, freedom of religion, right to private property, right to our property being secure and on if we are truly to be able to offer to anyone something better than what they have.
We say we are bringing democracy to other nations. The question is, at what sarifice to our own do we do so? Secondly, we must not forgot, we have never been a democratic nation but a republic. To remain a republic our government must remain a government by the people and for the people, not a government of elitist for themselves.
I do not oppose what the U.S. is doing in this area, of hacking the hackers. I can't stand hackers, I have been hacked before, virused before and even had a trojan at a time and I wish they could stop them all, but the last thing I want is to be hacked by my own government who is suppose to be my protector not my enemy.
So, in summation it is fine that they are finally thinking in the terms of "unlimited warfare" as long as it is never turned within to this nation and it's people. The results would be devastating for us all if it ever got under the wrong hands, and some rogue official within our government, turned these weapons lose on us as a society. If you think the ideas that were going around about the Y2K thing in the coming of the year 2000, if all the computers went down was something to be concerned about, think again, if one rogue person was able to wield the absolute power of cyberwar on nations, this nation or any other nations. The results would be the end of civilization as we know it! We would return to the dark ages, literally, no lights or fuel or all the nice necessities of life we love so much. The worst would be the loss of all freedoms.
