“We can beat ‘it’ as a virus.
We must spread not via any sort of frontal assault, but quietly. We need to continue gaining hearts and minds by unmasking the deceptions upon which the existing order depends.” ….. Posted by Robert on 12/5/2010 2:11:13 PM
Robert,
What do you know of the likes of Conficker and Stuxnet and how they do what they are suspected of doing, although that which they are thought of doing is pure speculation really.
In the world of such virtual exotics, the reality of them being able to do anything that is suspected of them, and in the background totally undetected by the System and any intelligence or algorithm used by present, prevailing systems’ programmers and metadatabase analysts/semantic reverse engineers, makes them an overwhelmingly powerful tool in the hands/hearts and minds of an Invisible and Intangible Being/Team/Meme/Gene.
It will certainly take a lot more than is offered here daily on the Daily Bell to make any difference in a change of direction with better and more equitable leadership, for talking the talk without walking the walk can easily be used and abused by failed systems to seek out their most able and most dangerous of competitors/opponents/contemporaries as they explore in their fancy prose and rhetoric the infinite possibilities for Change available to Man with Imagination and Passion and Compassion, as opposed to the dogged and destructive adherence to a Failed Program just because a few goons/toons sat right at the top think they control everything with Money Supply, whether that be merely a pretty paper given a magic number … €5/€10/€50/€100/€500/€1000 ….. or even simpler than that, with the instant credit and debit of electronic transfer.
You buy my business for, oh let us say for the sake of a good argument, the bargain price of an nine figured nine figure sum, which would be just £1 short of a sweet billion, and nothing will be moved or changed other than figures which are transferred to another active account/live server, but one person will be richer by a billion pounds and no one will poorer, for all parties involved will be significantly smarter.
However, the fact that those who are significantly smarter and richer are still just a very few at the top of their field hasn’t changed, and hardly ever will ……… until and unless of course, a new field arrives which creates both better and beta opportunities.
And the Internet is a new field, but do not make the simple mistake of thinking it Elemental and Elementary, for just as the term “military” conjures up myriad forces and supporting services, with some of them black and unknown and “Need to Know” and deniable, with active assets expendable/subject to sacrifice and program burn, so too does CyberSpace have its CyberIntelAIgent Security Services and Stealthy Special Forces. Indeed, Uncle Sam has stood up a whole new Command to try and gain Virtual Control of what is in both Reality and Virtual Reality, the Information and Intelligence Space.
And as Outrageous Success and Massive Good Fortune will only come to those with the right Intelligence, let us wish them well in the venture which has cloning mirrors in every Switched on and Plugged into the Net Nation with some administrations really getting into a pickle and creating conflicts for themselves within the field by fragmenting effort into multiple petty empire building executive bodies. As evidence of that I would just introduce you to some of the UK’s official fledglings, … Office of Cyber Security & Information Assurance (OCSIA)/Cyber Security Operations Centre/UK Defence Cyber Operations Group, to name but three …… which would all be vying to do exactly the same thing for so many different interests/clients/masters/pimps ….. ergo will they all falter and fail in their every subjective objective.
Resolution of the present Money Control problem will not be delivered by Incumbents who have spectacularly demonstrated that a change of their leadership is of no interest to them, for a brace of years on into the crisis, and nothing has changed at the top with no one made accountable for catastrophic failure, and thus will the program continue on its rapid descent into total collapse? And shared as a question because the truth of matter causes the fool to rise and deny that anything is wrong, whenever so much is not right and in doing so, confirm and exercise a stupidity rather than share any useful and valuable intelligence.

“Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government” …..
Hmmm …. State Dept Office of Career Services might like to consider that smarter students, now mindful of the inability of the State Dept to deal with and hide from view their dirty laundry and dodgy tricks, will be tempted elsewhere and maybe even into the extremely lucrative fields which can make full and novel and disruptive use of the vulnerabilities and opportunities which cooked diplomatic channels and some right dodgy cabling, offers for free.
Thanks for that Uncle Sam. It is an interesting New Deal Start Methodology to out the Parasites that Suck the Vitality out of your Being for their own Selfish Satisfaction, or whatever it is that drivers them.

Some say it is to take over and control the drugs market, because Uncle Sam is hopelessly addicted, and Wall Street and Main Street cannot function with its cokeheads.
Then again, if you rely on a Military Industrial complex to provide labourious employment and distractions from the Petty Mind Games which are being played, do you need serial wars, for Peace is an expensive liability, requiring a Whole New and NeuReal SurReal MindSet ….. and Creative Intelligence Agencies.

Here is an imaginative and plausible perspective on the Wikileaks meme, Doc ….. http://www.rebelnews.org/opinion/war/539130-wikileaks–more-israeli-game-theory-warfare
Now quite whether it is any named Virtual
Terrain Team at Play with Games Theories, or any number of them, is neither here nor there really, for all that matters is how well they Play to remain Invisible and Invincible as they change the Future secure in the delusion which fosters a gang wearing the colours in the hood of “The Chosen People” . But hell, you can be sure that whenever the prizes are so tempting, do all manner of fools rush in to chance their luck.
Methinks the embarrassment being felt is due to the lack of new Intelligence being shared/revealed, with everything in the present media storms being just as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. And that shows nations in Intellectual Property Deficit and therefore wholly reliant on that which is supplied or stolen/phished/plagiarised from others, and that is no way to run an Empire, is it.

And the above final paragraph …. “Methinks the embarrassment being felt is due to the lack of new Intelligence being shared/revealed, with everything in the present media storms being just as information for rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. And that shows nations in Intellectual Property Deficit and therefore wholly reliant on that which is supplied or stolen/phished/plagiarised from others, and that is no way to run an Empire, is it.” …. would appear to supported by Uncle Sam, for is not the following an admission of the same.
““The Saudi interior ministry co-operated when terrorist funding was brought to its attention, but remained “almost completely dependent on the CIA to provide analytic support and direction for its counterterrorism operations”, said a cable from the US embassy in Riyadh. “As such, our success against terrorist financing in the kingdom remains directly tied to our ability to provide actionable intelligence to our Saudi counterparts.”” …. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8182847/Wikileaks-Saudis-chief-funders-of-al-Qaeda.html

“such as this recent one (excerpted below) from the Wall Street Journal:
Julian Assange, Information Anarchist … WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hopes to hobble the U.S. government. Whatever else WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has accomplished, he’s ended the era of innocent optimism about the Web. As wiki innovator Larry Sanger put it in a message to WikiLeaks, “Speaking as Wikipedia’s co-founder, I consider you enemies of the U.S.”not just the government, but the people.” The irony is that WikiLeaks’ use of technology to post confidential U.S. government documents will certainly result in a less free flow of information“
Well, one would hardly have expected anything different from the Wall Street Journal, Daily Bell.
Personally speaking, I would fundamentally disagree with the ridiculous view/notion/opinion that the era of innocent optimism about the Web is ended, and would rather more posit that it is only just starting, as more and more little programmed units start to find out more behind the scenes information and dodgy intelligence dossiers and files/cables and reports, and consider thinking for themselves.
And how very sad and bad that it is not any leader in the traditional sense doing the leading, which identifies all those phoneys as frauds robbing the public purse, day after day after day, in order to deliver you continuing chaos rather than growing order.

Well, does anyone reading and posting on El Reg imagine that the insult will energise the Register to lead in the IT Field rather than just report on developments?
IT isn’t difficult to do if you know the secret/knack.
Or will the East lead the way with that particular and peculiar skill, with El Reg picking up crumbs, rather than feasting on success, whilst reporting on IT?

Crikey, George Sign, [Posted on 12/6/2010 3:25:49 AM] if that be the case, then has it been another unmitigated disaster, which is busily confirming at a prodigious rate in a smart and highly virtually active force, that the Establishment is not Fit for Future Purpose and never will be with the lame brains which are thinking they run it with Media, rather than with Command and Control of IT and Computers and Communications, for the ploy has failed miserably.
It was though a view which I hadn’t heard before, and I thank you for that.

“Regarding these leaks, I too have noticed that they really don’t hurt the US position, but rather in some cases seem to give it added leverage. In the case of The House of Saud, it is now undeniable that their very survival depends on the US, and that they have zero consent of the governed.” ….. Posted by ScipioNasica on 12/6/2010 8:43:50 AM
Scipionasica, to show everyone that you are two faced, unbelievable, self centred excuse for a human being is a hurt which you do not recover from. And I have to have a wry smile whenever I read the likes of “In the case of The House of Saud, it is now undeniable that their very survival depends on the US, and that they have zero consent of the governed.” for the way things have been going for a long while now, it would appear that the House of Saud is not the one trying to keep a Ponzi economy going.
Oh, and it is what “competition” can read between the lines in sensitive information leaked that is the really enlightening stuff, for it directs smart attention to Achilles Heel weaknesses, which have no defenses.
Softly softly, Crash the System for it would appear that it is not for changing with the present power elite mindset incapable of thinking of something different and better.
And it would appear that Wikileaks is phorming an Invisible and Intangible Global Army, and that’s going to be a Novelty to combat …… http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/06/anonymous_launches_pro_wikileaks_campaign/
