    Iraq; Iran coincidence

    Iraq's problem suicide bombers and attacks news stories.




    Iran's Nuclear production News stories.
    Now you don't suppose Iran is expressing its anger
    over US pressure on their nuclear activity by 
    sending support and trainers into Iraq to do
    bombings? Sanctions equal bombings in Iraq?

    Boy those charts are interesting.
    Almost symmetrical.

    I hope the Iranian regime and IRCG
    don't experience bomb for bomb in Iraq,
    against the Regime.

    What a coincidence those charts are.

    Printer bomb dry run for Dirty bomb?

    Getting ahead of the Terrorist Paradigm.

    Its much easier said than done.
    But let us work up our own Paradigm on them.

    They have had several failures trying to
    strike at US in America.

    The FBI is doing a hell of a job,
    in-conjunction with NSA.

    Americans have lost all privacy in
    the effort.

    Al Qaeda had given up on using 
    human bombers this time with the
    printer.

    But they have run up against the 
    limits wall.

    They need about 3 snicker candy bars
    size of PETN and that won't fit into a cell
    phone. Even in powered form.

    They need a cell phone or guts of
    one to remote detonate it,  cell phones
    are their method of choice.

    Now I'm going to take this to the
    worst case scenario currently possible.

    PETN sealed in a working PC,
    by working I mean the screen lights
    up when its turned on.



    There is a new technology using 
    a UBS port to plug your cell phone
    into a PC, to make your PC do things by cell
    phone. A signal alarm when Wifi available,
    or ignite something.





    And its just become public today there is:
    Highly enriched uranium that could be used to make a nuclear bomb is on sale on the black market along the fringes of the former Soviet Union, according to evidence emerging from a secret trial in Georgia.



    Click to enlarge

    The uranium sample that Sumbat Tonoyan and Hrant Ohanyan were peddling is thought to have been stolen several years ago. US tests have confirmed it is 89.4% enriched, usable in a nuclear warhead. The Armenians only had 18 grams, but had been told by their supplier in Armenia that much more was available.

    It is the third time in seven years HEU has been intercepted in Georgia. 

    They thought they were selling their 18g sample to a representative of an Islamist group as a precursor to a bigger consignment. But the buyer was an undercover police officer.

    It is surprisingly easy and safe to handle. It is so mildly radioactive that small amounts can be held with bare hands or smuggled in an ordinary bag. A minimal amount of shielding, with lead for example, would stop it triggering a radiation sensor.

    In one case, a Russian naval officer walked through a hole in the fence at a military base, snapped the padlock on a shed, put several kilograms of HEU in his backpack, before walking out unchallenged. A military prosecutor concluded that "potatoes were guarded better".


    An shielded envelope of HEU with the PETN in the sealed PC, connected to a cell phone,
    makes a remotely detonated dirty bomb, some one could just leave it behind, or hide it some
    where on the plane. 
    A brings PC onboard.
    B bring on Cell phone on board
    They covertly connect them and leave behind.

    Which also begs the question was this a dry run for a Dirty bomb?

    But their effort failed with the printer bomb.
    In attempts to kill Americans in Afghan they will just strap on
    a vest and attack, or load a truck and try and smash into an 
    out post, very direct attacks, many out of frustration out of
    failures to strike back at Americans.

    If this type of attack was possible in the West they will try.
    They are evolving into new paradigms.

    And the risk just got bigger.
    I would expect cell phones to be banned on all
    commercial flights as carry on eventually.

    After the Butt bomber I'm just glad we don't
    have to bend over to fly.

    If they can get trained people into the USA,
    that Printer bomb could be mailed from any
    where in Conus, to any where in conus.

    As long as the 3 Credit agencys continue
    to ignore their power to end ID theft, Money
    Mule operations continue to be a major security threat.

    The 3 credit agencys currently charge $10 a month
    for life to notify you about any unusual credit card
    authorizations on your card. 

    If you don't pay to get the info on your own 
    account they just won't tell you. Which allows
    Money Mules and ID theft to thrive.

    The cost to the Credit agencys is an automated
    email to you, almost zero cost.
    But the Credit agencys see the money they
    can make off credit card theft.
    3 family members SS# at $10 a month each, times 3 agencys,
    $90 a month, Equals over $19,000 for 18 yrs. Just to send
    you an email about YOUR records, and unusual CC 
    entries, they make huge profits off ID theft and CC
    fraud.
    Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Credit Cards threat to ...

    Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Experian, aids and abets ID ...

    Only now they are endangering all Americans.

    The solutions are there we just have to be
    one step ahead of the Terrorist. Every
    time.

    Our BSU's continue to track 3 possible bombing 
    perps, 2 in Egypt and one in US.
    Just not enough definitive evidence yet.

    Bernanke first Econaught

    Bernanke Defends Bond Purchases.



    Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank must focus on the U.S. rather than overseas economies when trying to spur the recovery by purchasing an additional $600 billion in Treasuries.
    “It’s our problem as well if the U.S. is no longer certain that the old recipes don’t work anymore,” German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said yesterday in Berlin. The Fed’s injection of $600 billion was “clueless” and won’t revive growth, he said.
    Brazil’s central bank president, Henrique Meirelles, said “excess liquidity” in the U.S. economy is creating “risks for everyone.” In China, Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said “many countries are worried about the impact of the policy on their economies.” He also said the U.S. “owes us some explanation on their decision on quantitative easing.”


    Best Week
    Stocks capped their best week in two months, with the MSCI World Index and Standard & Poor’s 500 Index up more than 3.4 percent each, after the Fed pledged on Nov. 3 to buy as much as $600 billion of Treasuries through June to boost the economy.
    “We are showing insufficient stimulus,” Bernanke said yesterday in his remarks, mostly in response to questions. Asset purchases have “the goal of reducing interest rates, providing more stimulus to the economy and, we hope, creating a faster recovery and an inflation rate consistent with long-run stability,” Bernanke said to students.
    Referring to the policy of so-called quantitative easing, Bernanke said, “we will be reviewing that regularly to see if it is working, to see how the outlook is changing.”
    ‘Dangerous Signs’
    The Fed’s support for asset values isn’t helping the “real” economy, and is creating “dangerous signs of a potential free fall” in the dollar and will be unsustainable, Burry said in an interview.

    The Federal Reserve move is suspect, this has never been done
    in these quantities. $600 Billion, to compare, the health care plan
    is $700 billion over 10 yrs, and the Billionaires tax break is also
    $700 billion.

    But what is the Fed doing exactly?
    Well one arm of the Government, the Treasury is selling Treasury bills on the
    open market, and the other arm of the Government the Federal reserve is
    buying $600 Billion of those same treasurys through the Central Bank.

    The Right hand is selling and the left hand is buying,
    no real ownership change, they just took the $600B Treasurys 
    off the market. With smoke and mirrors.

    But this will reduce the pressure on the Dollar.
    This looks bad for the Dollar.
    And suggests problems with the open market
    sales of Treasurys. Which doesn't instill confidence.
    If this is a near one time event, the markets should
    be able to understand and ride it out.

    Bernanke is dancing in a mine field.
    I hope this works but its unknown territory.
    This gives us some idea how serious the
    high US debt is.

    The Republicans want to kill a few thousand
    poor to help balance the Debt, rather
    than inconvenience a few Billionaires.

    GOP are not heartless Greedy Old Bastards.

    I really don't like doing political commenting.
    But some of this is like someone shoving a stick
    in your eye, its really hard to ignore and it hurts.


    G.O.P. Plans to Use 

    Purse Strings to Fight 

    Health Law


    WASHINGTON — As they seek to make good on their campaign promise to roll back President Obama’s health care overhaul, the incoming Republican leaders in the House say they intend to use their new muscle to cut off money for the law, setting up a series of partisan clashes and testing Democratic commitment to the legislation.



    The House Republican whip, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, described the strategy this way: “If all of Obamacare cannot be immediately repealed, then it is my intention to begin repealing it piece by piece, blocking funding for its implementation and blocking the issuance of the regulations necessary to implement it.”
    “In short,” Mr. Cantor said, “it is my intention to use every tool at our disposal to achieve full repeal of Obamacare.”
    The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said he, too, wanted to shut off money for the new law.
    House Republicans could easily pass similar provisos stating that no federal money could be used to carry out specific sections of the new health care law.
    And that is where House Republicans see an opportunity to assert their influence, with a real possibility of a stalemate.
    The House Republicans’ campaign manifesto proposed “strict budget caps” that would cut spending for most domestic programs subject to annual appropriations.
    ( Killing the Health Care program will save $700 Billion over the next 10 yrs.
    Saving $700 billion is good. Isn't it? G )
    It seems the Republicans are determined to cut the deficit .
    The Government is spending entirely too much money.
    Fed.Reserve Central Bank buying $600 B t Bills. WTF?

    And the Republicans are determined to save the country.
    Or at least part of it.

    My paranoia is in full alert. Some how I question
    the Republican motives, I know I used to be Republican,

    If they truly want to cut the budget.
    If they want to cut $700 Billion from the Budget,
    why don't they repeal the Tax breaks for the Billionaires.
    That will save $700 Billion this year.

    And repealing the TAX break for Billionaires means
    NO Americans have to die. You know the Millionaires
    still get to keep their tax breaks.
    Just the $1,000,000,000.00s
    would loose tax breaks.

    Repealing the health care program means some
    poor will DIE.

    But is that so bad?
    The poor don't vote,
    they don't make political contributions.
    I mean what do they contribute?

    If it means the Billionaires get to keep
    the $700 billion, then that must be a good
    trade off, few thousand dead poor.
    I mean the Republicans are't
    heartless greedy Old Bastards, 
    they are the "Grand Old Party".
    And they need the money to keep
    the PARTY GOING.

    Trust in Government has evaporated,
    Washington has lost its bearings.

    The Republicans are making their
    HISTORICAL BED, I LEAVE
    THEM TO SLEEP IN IT.



    Note I have't mentioned the Republicans sleeping with the Wall ST Bankers.
    And that doesn't mean the Republicans are whores, either, of course it doesn't
    mean they aren't, depends on what their doin, doesn't it.

    EXCLUSIVE Printer Bomber FEDX

    Just in from our Intel Sources:



    From a source inside the Beltway we have found reliable before.G

    EXCLUSIVE: EXCLUSIVE:


    It seems that the UPS/FEDEX attack has historical roots and much more sinister tactics than have been disclosed.
    The address names on the UPS and FEDEX package were Pierre l'Ermite and Diego Gelmírez and the street address was that of only one synagogue in Chicago. ( ERROR IT WAS TWO,G ) Whom are they?
    Pierre l'Ermite, is AKA Peter the Hermit, 1050-1115, a French monk. In 1095 he instigated the First Crusade.  With help from the Byzantine emperor Alexius I he and his irregular band took Jerusalem.
    Diego Gelmírez of Santiago de Compostela conceived of a N African invasion route intending to unite the reconquest of Spain (from Muslims) with the Crusades to the Holy Land, forming a single Mediterranean-wide crusading theatre.  He was one of the most famous Spanish monk-warriors leading the expulsion of Muslims from Spain. 
    Why a package on two different carriers?   To increase the chance of success in case one was discovered, and, to double the potential effect of a tactic that would likely be closed off after the attack. 
    There were three layers of detonation. 
    SIM card Nokia phones were programmed to answer a call and detonate.  With both packages sent simultaneously by different carriers, they would arrive in the skies over Chicago on two different planes.  Knowing the packages "tracking number" and with online, easy access to arrival times, it would be easy for a caller to keep calling the detonator phone while the two planes flew into Chicago, hoping to down them over the city, causing great destruction below. 
    They knew approximately when the onboard package-carrying planes would be landing.  By simple calculation, the plotters walked that time backward to the final approach time over Chicago and programmed/wired the phones to detonate using the alarm clock feature. 
    Finally, if both of those methods failed, detonation would occur at the delivery site, a Jewish synagogue, as soon as the printer was plugged in. ( We reported this feature form our Paradign Intel, G )
    No way to stop the attack, no exposure to operatives, no hijackers needed, brilliant and efficient tactics, low cost with massive results.  The attack would be thought of as an accident until the second plane blew up, allowing operatives to escape.
    Obviously we have a highly capable, educated and thinking enemy.  The Jihadists are highly aware of their place in history and seek muslim hero status.  The current media portrayal of inept amateurs, driven by our government sources is, to say the least, highly underspoken.
    We fail to understand the historical context and haven't even developed a data base of historic enemies of Islam that could be cross checked against passenger lists and shippers.  How could we not have an overwatch that sounds alarms when anything is sent from Yemen to any synagogue in the US?
    Clearly the Jihadist are much more nimble and creative than we are.  We continue to be unable to put ourselves into the minds of Jihadists and we remain reactive rather than proactive.  This attack could have worked, attack by proxy.  We can't keep counting on luck or self-serving allies to save us

    ( Our Paradigm on their next Attack ,G )











    END OF FILE END OF FILE.


    CARTON CONTENTS INCLUDE:
    - personal clothing, ornaments, compact discs and papers.
    - one HP Laserjet printer containing an improvised explosive device.

    IF DETECTED, ASSUME THAT THE DEVICE IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND CAPABLE OF
    EXPLODING AT ANY TIME. CALL EOD.

    If detected, PETN and all other explosive material should be addressed by Explosive Ordnance Disposal
    (EOD). Pure PETN should be handled in accordance with an official Material Safety Data Sheet or Chemical
    Sampling Information (CSI) for PETN. An example can be found on:
    http://www.osha.gov/dts/chemicalsampling/data/CH_260110.html



    This threat is new, Using new paradigms,  its multiple phased and in-depth,
    and is backed by redundant systems.

    First Paradigm:
    NO suicide bomber to screw up this time,
    automated with redundant triggers.

    At least two bombs, same target,
    But multiple targets of opportunity,
    Phone call any time or where,
    Timed ignition,
    Plug in at destination, ignition.

    They went to great efforts and
    this is the first attack with this level
    of depth and redundancy.

    They wanted a "good" strike 
    against the US and this plan 
    assured them of success.
    Some place two bombs were
    going to go off, or so they 
    thought. With the expectation of
    a very high probability of success
    the package will be laden with
    finger prints and other forensic
    evidence.

    Somebody is very angry and 
    depressed. And their assurances
    for success are now a major 
    embarrassment.

    Just another Epic FAIL on a long
    line of attempted attacks.

    Second Paradigm:
    It still looks like they were using
    money mules to ship goods.
    And that maybe their weakness.

    RBN Russian Business Net, and
    the FSB are on them, and they
    don't adhere to the niceties the 
    US forces do.

    The Internet has turned out to be
    al qaedas Achilles heel.

    I still expect the bomber arrest 
    with in weeks.
    This is al Qaedas Stuxnet equivalent.
    The BEST they could do.
    It involved  the best minds
    al qaeda has, in terms of bombing
    technology and Internet savvy.
    Binny was assured of a success.
    And just got burned again.

    Given Bin Ladens personality disorders
    I expect the next attempt to be sooner 
    rather than later, and more straight forward,
    and simple, they are desperate for some 
    success. Binny's little cult has run up a 
    disappointing string of failures. Seems
    they can't do anything right.
    But then they are heavy on psychotics
    on the HR level.

    Run through the Jungle (Cyber )

    Run through the Cyber Jungle.


    Play this while reading:


    Our paradigm Intel for using cyber
    forces during an all out war.

    In some of the up coming war games
    the US will be involving a cyber component.

    The US plans for all contingency's, 
    One of the most interesting exercises
    is the Uran action, Uran being a mythical ME
    country.

    And the game goes something like this.
    A small nuclear devise has been smuggled
    into the USA and detonated on the Southern
    sea board.

    Small yield but very dirty, And the US is able
    to finger print the bombs production back
    to Uran.

    The Pentagon get the order from Obama
    to terminate the leadership of Uran as fast
    as possible and with extreme prejudice.

    NSA is first to strike, with cyber arms,
    shutting down the entire country,
    knocking Uran off the WWW, disabling
    phones, radios and TV and cable.
    Urans command and control is now limited
    to hand carried notes.

    NSA and satellites are tracking Uran's leaders.

    In the hour after the Uran nuke goes off in the
    US the US Navy launched submarine cruise 
    missiles at major cities, all with EMP warheads.
    No one killed from the EMPs.
    The following denotations brings all trucks cars,
    planes to a stop and burns out 90% of the computers
    and anything with PC chips in it.

    NSA re targets Urans weapons thru a cyber virus,
    hitting their own defense forces.

    Urans Military are grounded, blind, deaf and leaderless.
    The US Air force launches air strikes in the following days
    destroying all tanks and Armour in the country.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a00Spe8U6PM
    Because Uran has been supplying IEDs to terrorists.

    A week after the attack USA has CIA delta force teams
    ranging through the country backed by A1 M1s, and Black hawks
    killing Urans leaders on site and collecting DNA .


    20,000 targets in 24 hrs
    This time there is to be no nation building, they have taken out
    90% of the leadership and just pull out, using drones to hunt 
    the remaining 10%.

    There have been very few civilian deaths from the war,
    but many die from lack of services.

    A few of the autos from the 1950's still work , and the country
    has been removed back to the 1950's technology.
    And the banking system has been wiped out, all PC's
    toasted, and only a few land lines without chips working.
    US Forces estimate Uran will be functioning on a subsistence
    level for 5 years, and will take 10 to 15 years to build the country
    back to the 2010 levels.
    Total Cost about same as one month of Afghan ops.

    All nuclear buildings have been destroyed. Above and
    underground.

    And once Uran is down US turns to healing its wounds.
    Drones continue to fly over Uran hunting for leaders for
    the next 5 years.

    Thats how cyber forces integrate with conventional forces
    during war time.

    Live Fire cyber Shield, "HOT"

    DEFCON 18: Live Fire Exercise: Baltic Cyber Shield 


    Genius stuff. Very Impressive.

    "Hot Award" for Internet Power. G

    Well thought out, comprehensive, representative structure.
    Amazing results, concise lessons learned, there are white
    hats and WHITE HATS.

    A lot to chew on well worth the watch.

    Raised my morale significantly.
    Nude sessions would take some getting used to.
    LOL.

    Sandia has a forest of super PC's 
    HINT hint, infrastructure, almost unlimited.










    Two paradigm concerns.

    "Rampant destruction" should be kept in the Game.
    The White team represents the Gov. trying to
    track just whats going on, and gives them
    practice in functioning and managing in a
    reality situation.

    Second is the ability for the BT to
    counter attack, Jeeze this should be
    encouraged. As a policing action on real time
    attacks.Just sitting there and taking it,
    I hope isn't realistic.

    I was in awe these guys, the Blue Teams
    were dropped into an insecure environment,
    unknown to them, without complete documentation,
    And one team managed to lock it up WORKING PART
    TIME on the exercise.
    God Damn IMPRESSIVE.
