Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War
The IEEE spectrum site has up an article written by the author Robert N. Charette describing the 'empowerment of the individual to conduct war' through technology. In the piece, entitled Open-Source Warfare, Charette describes the cheap, inexpensive, but clever ways that militants are adapting to modern warfare. "As events are making painfully clear, [counterterrorism expert John Robb] says, warfare is being transformed from a closed, state-sponsored affair to one where the means and the know-how to do battle are readily found on the Internet and at your local RadioShack. This open global access to increasingly powerful technological tools, he says, is in effect allowing 'small groups to...declare war on nations.' Need a missile-guidance system? Buy yourself a Sony PlayStation 2. Need more capability? Just upgrade to a PS3."
...were open source.
People do things for reasons.
bear with me, I'll make the point clear.
9/11 was a response to the Trillion Dollar bet
It was no coincidence our defense system was in such a state as to not really respond.
Nor was it coincidence that building 7 was intentionally taken down though it contained documents regarding matters of the
trillion dollar bet that were under investigation by the SEC. Enron, Worldcom were a couple of the losers in the bet.
The dot com boom was a result of some winners needing to put their money somewhere.
And there is a lot more to this that is and has been "open source" publicly available.
However, the Anthrax threat against the News Media by our own government and the set up of the "Clear Channel" news network resulted in hiding the truth.
Social Security ain't gonna be there for me, as I get annual reports as to what decreasing percentage of what is to be own me, will be paid me. Why is it decreasing? Because the US government keeps taking our money away from us to use it on so called wars to protect our freedom. I'm going to be real free when I don't have a place to live because the government stole from me.
I suspect the idea is that in time people will forget the wrongs done them, as they die off.
But check this out: What the World Wants
It exposes the lies of teh self supported dependencies of war mongers and warfare.
The point is:
Its not religion, thats just philosophy that is wrapped around the real, and the real is all about money and trade value.
We the world have such a massive amount of money, we have the manpower and the knowledge, far more than we need to fix real world problems. And doing so would also remove real and many imaginary reasons supported by the real for warfare/terrorism, that warfare/terrorism would be clearly shown for what it really is. A self destructive, value draining illusion that we the world can do better by leaps and bound far beyond the constraints if this war illusion that not anyone having to do with commanding war is going to look good when this is put into practice.
Open Source, information made available, is what is exposing the fraud of war mongers and warfare.
And that is a SERIOUS Threat, a TERRORISM against the war mongers.
I read somewhere that education has a left wing bias, and from my personal experience (which is quite limited) I can verify it at least to some extent.
