Britain’s Channel 4 News (which is run by Economist and Lord: Terrence Burns, and partly funded by the government), came out with a headline TV report this week warning the public about the threat of cyber-terrorism.

In a recap on the Channel 4 website they sensationally report:
A security expert tells Channel 4 News cyber-attacks are hard to quantify and the Iran Stuxnet was a wake-up call, as the National Security Strategy names cyber-warfare a major security threat.

It appears we should no longer be worried about sending our troops in to armed conflicts with other countries, conflicts of the electronic kind are on the agenda. Now, substantial profits for the military industrial complex won’t just be coming from arms deals or invasions of the middle-east, but sophisticated computer security systems to protect us from worms and hackers.

In fact a leaked national security draft ranks cyber attacks ahead of traditional military conflict. The Channel 4 report continues:
…military conflict with another state will come only fourth in a list of potential threats to the UK. Ahead of that come international terrorism, cyber attacks and natural disasters…Last week GCHQ’s Iain Lobban warned of the very real danger of cyber terrorism which could target Britain’s critical computer infrastructure.

In an almost laughable contradiction Dave Clemente of Chatham House (otherwise known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, or the Anglo version of the Council on Foreign Relations) informs us that:

Until a cyber attack happens it’s difficult to quantify’

BUT

Cyber terrorism is as big as international terrorism.

So it’s as big as international terrorism but we don’t really know because it hasn’t happened to us yet?

The joker continues:
It’s not a bomb going off in the street or tube, it’s much more behind the scenes. You don’t know who’s attacking you…

Unfortunately we do know who’s doing the attacks, it’s our allies.

The most commonly cited cyber-terrorist attack by the mainstream media in the UK and US, which is being pointed to as a reason for needing a boost in cyber-security is the Stuxnet attack against Iran.

Iran of course is the nation that Europe, America and Israel have been aggressively targeting with sanctions and propaganda over a nonexistent nuclear weapons program.

Logic alone tells us that if Iran was attacked it was probably by the Euro-American-Israeli establishment. And this logic has proven true.

Although Israel haven’t admitted it, just like the use of British passports in a mossad hit, there is a strong finger pointing at them.

As reported by Reuters:
Cyber warfare has quietly grown into a central pillar of Israel’s strategic planning, with a new military intelligence unit set up to incorporate high-tech hacking tactics, Israeli security sources said on Tuesday.

Israel’s pursuit of options for sabotaging the core computers of foes like Iran, along with mechanisms to protect its own sensitive systems, were unveiled last year by the military intelligence chief, Major-General Amos Yadlin.

The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since set cyber warfare as a national priority, “up there with missile shields and preparing the homefront to withstand a future missile war”, a senior source said on condition of anonymity.

In a paper presented at a Vancouver, British Columbia security conference, a trio of Symantec researchers noted that Stuxnet includes references in its code to the 1979 execution of prominent Jewish businessman Habib Elghanian by firing squad in Tehran, hinting that Israel were behind the code.

Richard Falkenrath, former counter-terrorism official in the Bush administration and member of the Chertoff Group (Michael Chertoff is of course the dual Israeli/US honcho behind the naked body scanners) said Israel was a likely culprit during a Bloomberg interview:

Even if the US were in joint operation with Israel (he was quick to shift blame from the US), that makes the point far more bold.

Sky News also pointed at the Euro-American-Israeli establishment:
The finger of suspicion has pointed first at Israel. This is logical as Israel is in the first tier of both the technical and espionage leagues. Israel is undoubtedly trying to sabotage Iran’s nuclear facilities in a variety of ways. But that doesn’t mean Israel is responsible, just that it is among the main suspects.

The others include the Americans, British, Germans, Chinese, and Indians who all have the capability. Of these the first three have the most motive.

So lets take an informed approach to this. It’s well established that Iran is NOT a nuclear threat and therefore the offensive against them is unjust and part of the wider agenda in the middle-east to extend the empire.

So we can also observe that any cyber-attack against their civilian nuclear facilities by the Euro-American-Israeli establishment is also unjust and an act of war.

So why is the UK hyping up cyberterrorism and using the Iran attack as evidence of such, when our allies are the culprits of the attack?

That’s like Hitler telling the German people “We must protect ourselves from racial genocide led by dictators”; it’s an oxymoron, Hitler was the dictator leading racial genocide. And in this case Israel and the West are the cyber-terrorists.

As reported by NewsWeek:
On the basis of the report, the U.K.’s spooks have been promised an extra $760 million to beef up cyberspace operations…Prime Minister David Cameron assured Parliament that the extra cash “will significantly enhance our ability to detect and defend against cyberattacks and fix shortfalls in the critical cyber-infrastructure on which the whole country now depends.”

One problem coming out of this recent hype is that the term cyberwarfare has not really been defined. Google, a private company that has broken wiretapping laws and operates a worldwide surveillance operation cleverly called Google Maps, is apparently not cyber warfare.

So what is?

GCHQ boss Iain Lobban warned—last week—that 1,000 cyberattacks are being detected each month on U.K. government networks, sent by anyone from malicious cranks to possible terrorists.

We all get spam email. There’s a difference between a bog-standard virus, fishing email asking for your password or “buy my Viagra” message, and a full blown sci-fi style computer attack meltdown.

We haven’t had a real attack yet!

This new influx of taxpayer’s money is relying on the possibility of an attack in the future; which looks extremely thin when our enemies are living in the impoverished countryside of Afghanistan, or like Iran are on the receiving end of the attacks.

Cyber-terrorism is essentially a myth, another way to keep us in fear and to funnel our money where it is not needed.
