Pentagon declares the Internet a war domain
By John T. Bennett - 07/14/11 01:53 PM ET

The Pentagon released a long-promised cybersecurity plan Thursday that declares the Internet a domain of war.

The plan notably does not spell out how the U.S. military would use the Web for offensive strikes, however.

The Defense Department’s first-ever plan for cyberspace calls on the department to expand its ability to thwart attacks from other nations and groups, beef up its cyber-workforce and expand collaboration with the private sector.

Like major corporations and the rest of the federal government, the military “depends on cyberspace to function,” the DOD plan says. The U.S. military uses cyberspace for everything from carrying out military operations to sharing intelligence data internally to managing personnel.

2. I mean, I understand that the Internet as We Know It came from DARPA

However, what the internet is today and what it was then are two different entities. It is a commercial entity, a social entity, and therefore an entity of civil life.

What the Pentagon is doing amounts to a violation of Posse Comitatus, in my opinion.

4. And you or I saying what you just did,

That amounts to treason, in their view.

We must all swear allegiance to the Nation State of Terror Against the Other Terrorists. If your paycheck is not coming from Homeland Security, or The Pentagon, DoD, or Halliburton, you are already suspect.

The Age of Humanicide is upon us.

Not so much a terrorist threat. Sit on you ass for 40 minutes and do nothing. The Pentagon is worthless.
