I know I’m supposed to be on vacation but I had to call this to your attention.

You’ll continue to hear in the news about North Korea supposedly attacking US and South Korean websites and networks.

Isn’t it interesting that as one poster on Yahoo stated in their comments:

What bill is trying to become law in the United States? “Coincidentally”, the Cyber Security Act of 2009. This bill will give the President the power to declare a cybersecurity emergency and limit or shutdown network traffic to any network. (SEC 18, 2). The President will also have the power to order the disconnection of any network (SEC 18,6) A few more cyber security attacks and this baby will be in business!

Now think about this folks for just a second logically.

North Korea cannot even get a satellite launched into space. Do you honestly think they can launch the kind of cyber attack that our government and the news media is expecting us to believe?

Give me a few proxies and I can make you believe North Korea is doing the same thing!

Are we being manipulated – once again – to further the government’s agenda to control the Internet?

Wake up people!
