via Press For Truth: The global war on terror has entered the digital age and it’s no longer a question of if there will be an attack on the world wide web but when! In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth speaks with James Corbett of The Corbett Report about what a possible cyber attack scenario might look like, who the perpetrators are likely to be, who the scapegoat will be to take the fall and most importantly what we all can do about it BEFORE it happens.

The Comparative Value of Corbett Report DVDs is extremely good. Like CorbettReport member Stephen pointed out… it saves me the process of ‘laboriously’ downloading and cataloging myself.
Besides spending lots of time, a downloader would need to also purchase storage capacity.
These DVDs are top of the line, not the ordinary type DVD which has half the storage capability.
The raw blank product is definitely not cheap in cost nor in quality… (And some CorbettReport years have 5 discs!)
Verbatim 8.5 gigabyte dvd+r dl
Also notice that Corbett has the discs themselves imprinted with a wonderful graphic label.
It really does take some time, effort and cost to burn, print, package and mail these.

I think it would be prudent to prepare for this eventual cyber attack, and ready the response, the protest against the “iPatriot Act”. I doubt they will succeed, but it needs to be attempted. Plus, such a protest may well serve to awaken those sleepers who are mesmerized by their screens, their phones and tablets. It could, and should be the acid test to prove to the 99% that their will, their voice either has an effect, or has no effect on the politicians in Corruption DC.
As always, I agree with James” critical assessment of the state of cyber warfare and Silicon Valley. There will be multiple new warfares as biological or say knocking out entire electrical grill systems and the like.
The issue is what to do about it. And here James and I disagree. Although agorism, admirable and worthy as á concept to achieve, it is not and will not help us in the fight against fascism, cyber or otherwise. It is too individualistic, offers only individual solutions, fails to take into account social class, race and the like.
Fascism will not be beaten by people who are in debt slavery, deracinated, have no jobs or chances for work and live under neo-feudalism, as capitalism continues to devour everything creating a rentier lifestyle where you basically rent everything and own nothing.
When the entire internet is controlled going to another ‘google’ alternative is not going to help; just like Tor did not and is not helping to encrypt.
No, it is only an organized mass of people with a class consciousness that can create the fundamental elements of change and mobilization, if change and mobilization for the better is even possible.
weilunion,
…it is only an organized mass of people with a class consciousness that can create the fundamental elements of change and mobilization, if change and mobilization for the better is even possible.
Your last paragraph sounds similar to this concept…
……a community based on cooperation, exchange and friendship… …Cooperation and exchange are the very basis of human civilization. Economy (as in government management) and central planning are their antitheses….
James Corbett spends about 10 minutes talking about some concepts and “What Are You Going To Be When You Grow Up?”. I enjoyed this video.
(He looks pretty sharp in that suit.)

What about a connection with the role/agenda of/behind the Joe Snowden case? Is that too evident or would such a play card be already taken/reserved towards the prognosticated “kill switch” event?
While I haven’t covered this whole discussion, I would like to point out the one thing I know about bitcoin. That is that the Russian government claims it is a product of the CIA. I don’t trust bitcoin myself, as I have had software and such disappear forever for many reasons, but that is a different story. However, even if they did; remember the internet came out of Darpa. I think we’ve done okay with it so far. Cheers, Jim
But, they can’t control barter or physical alternative currencies. Which I think are our best options. But, I am admittedly somewhat of a luddite. Not that I don’t like technology, but there is a big difference between it being a tool and a controlling device.
