Commies IX: Insight, Disney, Hackers and Sattelite War
Chinese Paranoia alert:
Over the past 60 days I've collected a few more insights into our future aggressors China.
Insight into the Chinese Government thinking
Essentially the Chinese government wants to determine what the people should and should not know in the news. "Healthy" is an indicitive choice of words in that it represents a view of what "unhealthy" is to the Chinese government: an informed populace. Scary, no? Those of you who think our news is "in bed with" or "drinking the kool-aid" of the adminstration should see what the Chinese do with the internet and news.
Disney China opened.
There is something distinctly wrong with this that I can't quite put my finger on. At the same time, it would be hard to disguise the fact that Disney world is a concept born of a capatilistic country with lots of free time, surplus income, and creativity. I am not entirely sure why the Chinese would allow this into their country?
Titan Rain hackers
Organized Chinese hackers are caught red-handed (love that pun!) attacking US computers with top-secret information. Don't think for one moment that is the act of a country that is not hostile to our interests. Here is more information fromtechtv
Sattelite Warfare:
We have been seeing reports buried between hurricanes about anti-satellite weapons and the Bush administration's withdrawal from the treaty thatprohibited space-based weapons. What you might not have heard is that one company has lost two satellites within 2 months of each other at the beginning of the year. The exact same "total electrical failure" happened on both satellites.
The scary thing is that these units while operated byIntelsat
were built by two different companies: Lockheed built one and Loral built the other. Because of the nature of the similarities in the failures combined with the fact that the two satellites were not of a common build, a logical conclusion could be they were attacked by the same unknown phenomenon (ahem, "weapon").
If you mix in some paranoia and read between the lines, it looks like we as a country KNOW that someone is field-testing some anti-satellite weapon. Admittedly, I have very few facts to stand on here, but the news is at best interesting, at worst a foreboding.
