Japan Will Stage Mock Cyberattacks

freaktheclown writes "Japan is set to start staging mock cyberattacks on various companies as precautionary exercises. According to the article: 'Japan will conduct nationwide exercises next year to prepare effectively for cyberattacks on computer networks. Mock cyberterrorists will simulate attacks on computer networks of businesses and government organizations to discover vulnerable areas, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported Wednesday. Participants in the exercises will include financial institutions, communications companies and Internet service providers, as well as the central government and local governments.'"

    There were even drills for the Oaklahoma City bombing.

    Read about it at www.infowars.net

    Oh, and BTW ... is it my imagination or did Bush promise the Palestinians a state? http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/sto ries/2005/10_october/06/bush.shtml

    Pretty crazy, no? Wondor how the Zionists feel about that one. (The fact that Bush said that in June of 2003 and we're just now learning about it is telling.)

    Guess that means tonight's nation-wide address should be pretty interesting, huh? Suppose we need a draft? (That'll get the slashdotters' attention.)

    Mock drills are a coming in droves, it would appear. And not just from Japan ... or Pakistan ... or Germany ... or England ... or ...

    (Yeah, you can learn about all their mock teror drills, too, at www.infowars.net, too)

      You must not have been paying attention. This has been going on for about a decade. Or did you completely miss the fact that Yasser Arafat was president of the Palesinian Authority for several years before his death. Then there were new elections in Palestine, and the Israelis withdrew from the Gaza strip.

      If you're suprised, I suggest you pay a little more attention to international news, rather than conspiracy theorist sites like infoshop.
