BBQ has an (shock) article by a named author on The Great Satan’s lust to be able to destroy everything:<\/p>\n
The declassified document is called “Information Operations Roadmap”. It was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington University using the Freedom of Information Act. <\/p>\n
Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, signed it.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
The operations described in the document include a surprising range of military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists, psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to destroy enemy networks.<\/p>\n
All these are engaged in information operations. […]<\/p>\n
Perhaps the most startling aspect of the roadmap is its acknowledgement that information put out as part of the military’s psychological operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and television screens of ordinary Americans.<\/p>\n
“Information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and Psyops, is increasingly consumed by our domestic audience,” it reads.<\/p>\n
“Psyops messages will often be replayed by the news media for much larger audiences, including the American public,” it goes on. […]<\/p>\n
“In this day and age it is impossible to prevent stories that are fed abroad as part of psychological operations propaganda from blowing back into the United States – even though they were directed abroad,” says Kristin Adair of the National Security Archive. […]<\/p>\n
Late last year, it emerged that the Pentagon had paid a private company, the Lincoln Group, to plant hundreds of stories in Iraqi newspapers. The stories – all supportive of US policy – were written by military personnel and then placed in Iraqi publications.<\/p>\n
And websites that appeared to be information sites on the politics of Africa and the Balkans were found to be run by the Pentagon. […]<\/p>\n
When it describes plans for electronic warfare, or EW, the document takes on an extraordinary tone.<\/p>\n
It seems to see the internet as being equivalent to an enemy weapons system.<\/p>\n
“Strategy should be based on the premise that the Department [of Defense] will ‘fight the net’ as it would an enemy weapons system,” it reads. <\/p>\n
The slogan “fight the net” appears several times throughout the roadmap. […]<\/p>\n
And, in a grand finale, the document recommends that the United States should seek the ability to “provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum”.<\/p>\n
US forces should be able to “disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum”.<\/p>\n
Consider that for a moment.<\/p>\n
The US military seeks the capability to knock out every telephone, every networked computer, every radar system on the planet.<\/p>\n
Are these plans the pipe dreams of self-aggrandising bureaucrats? Or are they real?<\/p>\n
The fact that the “Information Operations Roadmap” is approved by the Secretary of Defense suggests that these plans are taken very seriously indeed in the Pentagon.<\/p>\n
And that the scale and grandeur of the digital revolution is matched only by the US military’s ambitions for it.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
The article<\/a>. The paper<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now you know for sure that the worldwide ID \/ Biometric Net project is being cast in these terms by the Pentagon. Mark My Mords™ the documents exist.<\/p>\n
This document states clearly that everyone other than those at the Pentagon is the enemy. ‘The Mass’, in the Baudrillard sense, is the enemy. YOU are the enemy.<\/p>\n
