What could turn this nation back into barbarism overnight? The loss of electricity. Think about the ramifications of having no working computers, no light, no heat, no air conditioning, no Wii or Playstations! A mad, mad, mad, mad world it would become.
Well, though I’m half-joking, the reality is grim. Just take a look:
0 CommentsWASHINGTON — Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials.
Atlas Shrugs brings to light this morning information that proves that you do not always need to know all the facts to know when you are being lied to. My suspicions from just the other day about the validity of the NIE reports are being proven correct. Honestly, should anyone be very surprised?
The evidence continues to mount that this NIE was a work of fiction. Critics from across the political spectrum have voiced skepticism about its conclusions and its methodology; European allies doubt its accuracy, the International Atomic Energy Agency (which normally “sides” with Iran) has raised serious objections. The only parties that seem to trumpet the NIE report are Iran, Russia, and China-our foes.
Removing John Bolton from the United Nations was one of the dumbest political decisions to come out of D.C. in recent memory. Just like removing the bulldog Bolton from a job that he was doing so well, the National Intelligence Estimate is yet more smoke and mirrors in the same effort to hide the grim reality that our enemies are closing in and we are doing too little to stop the worst of futures from one day slapping us across the face. At least when that slap finally lands, we won’t have any more excuses to not pay better attention.

Quite obviously the main focus of the Anvil is Islamic Terrorism and the greater threat of Islamism. This undoubtedly suits the old guard KGB that are hiding in the shadows and it helps the Chinese Communists sleep well at night, too. But I’m not unaware of the “big picture” and the other “bad guys” out there. I’m watching you, China.

Things don’t look too good for our hero in Pakistan, ladies and gentlemen. Do you think that the Bush Administration is prepared to do anything it can to keep Musharraf in power and protect the world from Islamist control of real caches of nuclear weapons? You’d better think twice. George W. keeps swinging at windmills or accepting money from Saudi Arabian lobbyists, depending on your perspective. In my case, I think old George is a clueless nitwit who walks the fine line of becoming a traitor out of criminal ignorance of Islamism. Someone should remind our President that he took an oath.

Filed under the “Trust no one” category and going right along with some of my thoughts from earlier this year and weapons caches found in the hands of our enemies, from the Pamela Hess via the AP:
2 CommentsChina and Russia are spying on the United States nearly as much as they did during the Cold War, according to the top U.S. intelligence official.
Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, says in testimony prepared for a Tuesday congressional hearing that a law passed last month expanding the U.S. government’s eavesdropping power is needed to protect not just against terrorists but also against more traditional potential adversaries, such as those two Cold War foes.
Most of us believe by now that Iran has been meddling to the point of warranting a Declaration of War from the U.S. Congress. This Iranian meddling has been proven by continued uncovering of evidence in Iraq, but did you know that Iran is also arming the Taliban in Afghanistan? Certainly we are in a state of war with Iran. American and Coalition soldiers are dead because of Iran. Many innocents as well. I put the blood of those recently murdered North Koreans squarely on the hands of Iran as much as the Taliban after seeing more and more reports such as this one:
