US anti-hack attack war game
p2p news / p2pnet: The Cheney / Bush administration has just finished running a mock cyber attack to test America’s ability to withstand an assault by hackers —- and bloggers.
"The war game drew in 115 agencies from the FBI and CIA to the Red Cross, the Department of Homeland Security said," according to the BBC.
IT companies and state and foreign governments were also involved, it says.
Not only but also, "Cyber Storm reportedly not only tested against attacks by hackers, but also by bloggers – who deliberately spread misinformation in the exercise," says the Beeb.
The test was carried out on secure computers in the basement of the Secret Service in Washington DC and, "There was no effect on the internet".

I agree. I’m starting believe that even China has more free speech than America. I can’t wait until that dictator, Bush, gets thrown out.

What the USA has is a corrupt government illegitimately run by fascist cronies who stole two elections.
The people of the USA are cowardly. How can you have your tax money stolen and the “government/corporations (one and the same)” send all your jobs to Asia, start phony wars in your name, – and you people blame the poor and social programs for your ills.
Wake up you lazy bunch of war mongering bastards!
The USA stands for United Suckers Afraid. Wake the fuck up while you still have some rights left and before you go bankrupt!

My current theory is the movie “They Live” is a documentary.
Sleep. This is Your God. Marry and Reproduce. Consume. Obey Authority.

There is such a dizzying amount of lies from the Whitehouse that wrapping your head around it is like imagining infinity.
