How China Will Use Cyber Warfare To Leapfrog Foes

The Walking Dude writes "A lengthy article published in Culture Mandala details how China is using cyber warfare (PDF) as an asymmetric means to obtain technology transfer and market dominance. Case studies of Estonia, Georgia, and Project Chanology point towards a new auxiliary arm of traditional warfare. Political hackers and common Web 2.0 users, referred to as useful idiots (PDF), are being manipulated through PSYOPS and propaganda to enhance government agendas."

    The problem is that the lemming general public is unaware of the information warfare that is going on, and will continue to be swayed by it.

    If you want to know who to elect, look at the people who are the diametrical opposite of everything you want the US to be, and see what they want:

    Venezuela
    Russia
    Most of Europe
    Iran
    North Korea

    These folks don't want someone who stands up for what's right because they want to do what's wrong and get away with it.

    That's why Obama's got sacks of cash from undisclosed overseas sources. That's why there are pro-Obama robocalls coming from Romania. That's why Acorn and the DNC are appealing to "idiots" and criminals in poor communities and prisons to "get the vote out." (By the way, "Educate the Idiots" was the Democratic slogan for a get-out-the-vote campaign aimed at low-income people and high-school dropouts.)

    Do you really want a president who's preferred by "idiots", criminals, and hostile foreign governments?
