DERANGED STALINIST/KIMIST REGIME CRACKS DOWN
COMMENT: The articles referenced above confirm what China Confidential has been saying for five years--namely, that North Korea has no intention of scrapping its nuclear program. Nor does the totalitarian regime intend to stop starving, murdering, torturing, jailing, and oppressing its people. On the contrary, the coming transition period will be especially dangerous. Another nuclear test is probably in the works.
U.S. nuclear power plants ... vulnerable to attack, infiltration, sabotage ... nine years after 9/11.
The origins of the Internet date to the 1960s and the Cold War--specifically, to pioneering research sponsored by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA (later renamed ARPA when "Defense" was dropped from the organization's name).
The Internet was in part created in order to provide a communications network that would operate even if some of its sites were destroyed in a nuclear war. The idea was that if the most direct route was not available, routers would direct information traffic around the network via alternate routes.
Nowadays, ironically, the cyber-terrorism made possible by the Internet's spectacular success is viewed as such a threat that at least one national security and defense expert asserts that the President of the United States should have the authority to shut down the Internet in the event of an attack.
In a recent interview with Reuters, former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who is also a retired Air Force general, said that "it is probably wise to legislate some authority to the President, to take emergency measures for limited periods of time, with clear reporting to Congress, when he feels as if he has to take these measures."
