China Calls US Culprit In Global 'Internet War'
On Wednesday we discussed news of Google's accusation that sources originating in China were interfering with Gmail using malware and phishing techniques, targeting Chinese political activists, US government officials, military personnel, and others. In response to the accusations, a Chinese official denied government involvement in the attacks, while the US government indicated they would investigate the matter. The attacks were more sophisticated than a typical phishing attempt, they involved Yahoo and Hotmail as well, and they have likely been going on for months. Now, according to a CBS report, "The Chinese military accused the US on Friday of launching a global 'Internet war' to bring down Arab and other governments, redirecting the spotlight away from allegations of major online attacks on Western targets originating in China."
Looking at the Chinese is like looking at the Scientologists. This could also be applied to the Iranians, or to many other dictatorial regimes composed of blowhards, up to and including the modern US Republicans/TeePartiers.
Whenever they start accusing someone else of something, assume either (a) they're doing it themselves or (b) they're doing something far worse and trying to draw attention away from it.
You may also safely assume (c), if they're not doing it themselves they wish they were.
The moral pygmy pissants running China now know that if enough people get upset, they're history, and nothing under heaven and earth will save them. I bet they see their property bubble bursting, and I bet (and hope) they're shit scared. This stupid propaganda just shows they see the handwriting on the wall.
