Panetta: The next great battle America faces is likely to involve cyberwarfare

By Anna Mulrine, Staff writer / June 9, 2011 Washington

The next great battle America faces is likely to involve cyberwarfare, Leon Panetta, the Central Intelligence Agency director, warned senators Thursday, predicting that “the next Pearl Harbor that we confront could very well be a cyberattack that cripples" America’s electrical grid and its security and financial systems.

“It’s going to take both defensive measures as well as aggressive measures to deal with that,” said Mr. Panetta, who was appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee in a confirmation hearing for the post of secretary of defense.

Panetta, a consummate Washington insider, is expected to be confirmed easily as the successor to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but that did not stop him from receiving a tough – if cordial – grilling from lawmakers Thursday

I am more afraid of the Government than any Terrorist... or cyber terrorist... actually, after seen how much freedom we been losing during the last 10 years.... and learning about Bohemian Grove...Skull and Bones and all this secret societies that the members of our Government and the USA Elite get in to...I am starting to believe that the real Terrorist are those in our government....10 years of wars and you hardly see any news about the war in our newspapers...or the TV news...Most first page on all US Newspapers have silly news or sport celebrities on it ...but hardly the face of our soldiers or the innocent victims of this horrible war....the big news are usually hiding in an small article or you don't see them at all....it look like they do really want to hide the truth from everyone...it does really look like they control the mainstream media on tv so the press...10 years ladies and gentelman...10 years of media lies and censure....if is not for places as 12160 or Alex Jones and other alternative media places as this one, we would be blind to everything been going on....this is all so sad to see ...so sad to be a witness to the end of our freedom in America...Just so sad ! ...it feel like a nightmare !

What I get out of this article is that our beloved govt is hell bent on gaining greater controls over the internet. This whole cyber attack business is another fear tactic that they are trying to use to get us to relinquish our freedom of speech, privacy and peace of mind online. It's for our own protection from the big bad boogymen in the machine right? The Govt is here to protect us. Yeah, that has worked out for us well.

Cyber warfare has been around for a while. How about the nuclear attack from within the US borders? No protection from the southern border,arresting border guards? How about the phoney attack on the Bin Ladin compound,that alone is enough reason for the US Gov to light off a nuclear device and blame it on the arabs. No better way to set off a revolution and Obama clam martial law. Is the US really that much asleep,stupid,blind. Most I speak to just don't give a shit what happens. Looks to me like the Bilderburgs have won.
