Palin Strikes OUT
Just so we're clear, this is nowhere near as indeterminate as the author implies. THIS is why this email is so effed up: 'Remember though: "My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts"' SAID THE WOMAN WHO WAS SPEAKING ON GOD'S BEHALF. The total lack of self-awareness necessary to quote this passage in this context, the absolute, unqualified failure to listen to the words coming from her own mouth, it's absolutely stunning when you think about it. "I'm going to write a note where I tell people what god is thinking, and in it, I'll make sure to mention that the bible clearly states that you can't know what god is thinking." Poof. That was my brain. If this is an interpretive exercise, and you interpret this as anything other than completely INSANE, you need your logic circuits examined.
truth - like it or embolden the enemy.
Those who dislike truth and work to hide it are traitors to themselves giving aid and comfort to the enemy, emboldening them. Truth as it is needs to be established to provide credibility for future projects to build off of it.

China: U.S. 'Internet War Being Waged Against Multiple Nations'
China: U.S. 'Internet War Being Waged Against Multiple Nations'
06/ 3/11 12:01 PM ET
BEIJING — The Chinese military accused the U.S. on Friday of launching a global "Internet war" to bring down Arab and other governments, redirecting the spotlight away from allegations of major online attacks on Western targets originating in China.
The accusations Friday by Chinese military academy scholars, and their urging of tougher policing of the Internet, followed allegations this week that computer hackers in China had compromised the personal Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including government officials, military personnel and political activists.
Google traced the origin of the attacks to the city of Jinan that is home to a military vocational school whose computers were linked to a more sophisticated assault on Google's systems 17 months ago. China has denied responsibility for the two attacks.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the United States had raised its concerns with China over the latest allegations. He said the allegations were serious but made no comment on reports of China's involvement.
Writing in the Communist Party-controlled China Youth Daily newspaper, the scholars did not mention Google's claims, but said recent computer attacks and incidents employing the Internet to promote regime change in Arab nations appeared to have originated with the U.S. government.
"Of late, an Internet tornado has swept across the world ... massively impacting and shocking the globe. Behind all this lies the shadow of America," said the article, signed by Ye Zheng and Zhao Baoxian, identified as scholars with the Academy of Military Sciences.
"Faced with this warmup for an Internet war, every nation and military can't be passive but is making preparations to fight the Internet war," it said.
While nuclear war was a strategy of the industrial era, Internet war is a product of the information age, the article said. Such conflicts stand to be hugely destructive, threatening national security and the very existence of the state, it said.
China needs to "express to the world its principled stance of maintaining an 'Internet border' and protecting its 'Internet sovereignty,' unite all advanced forces to dive into the raging torrent of the age of peaceful use of the Internet, and return to the Internet world a healthy, orderly environment," the article said.

China already heavily filters content and blocks numerous foreign websites, a system known as the "Great Firewall of China." The police employ a large force of Internet monitors to scour the Web for content deemed illegal or subversive, and those users transmitting sensitive contact can be charged with sedition or other crimes.
A number of foreign governments say they've been targeted by hacking attacks from China, although Beijing routinely denies undertaking such operations and says it too is a victim of such activity.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters attacks such as the one alleged by Google were a primary reason why the State Department had for the first time created a cyber-security coordinator.
The FBI said it was investigating Google's allegations, but no official government email accounts have been compromised. Google said all the hacking victims have been notified and their accounts have been secured.

Too big to fail means too big to be prosecuted.
Too big to fail means too big to be prosecuted. that's how precious our economy is to the powers that are trying to maintain. Too big for judgement. huh. interesting. How much money was lost in the bailouts in the spirit of capitalism. probably inestimable. Trillions easily.
