Paradigm Intel NSA.
There was a quiet name change at NSA
to better define its mandate.
New name: Nationial Security Agency and Central Security Service.
NSA is the biggest intelligence agency in the Government.
And also the most secret.
We think they built Stuxnet.
In pegging NSA on the cyber meter is difficult.
We can see the bottom, us, and the hackers giving
us pain, but where do you put NSA on that line.
We are privy to info the public hasn't seen.
And paradigm intel reports based on it.
I would place us at about 3, the public us,
the hackers at 4 and 5.
Malware, rootkits, exploits etc.
But NSA has no upper side easily knowable.
But our best estimate puts them at 6 and 7.
And they have secure OS or have a crash
program to develop one.
We also think there are secret super, super
uber hackers maybe a 9 or 10.
To operate at that level there are certain prerequisites,
Money, intelligence, tech knowledge, social skills.
Statically speaking he or she is there.
The reason we feel enthusiastic about him,
is we have seen NO indication of him.
He knows if he shows his head 'they' will
be after him. If he steals, and we think he does,
it won't draw attention, and its not a lot.
He is systemic he's not a threat to the system.
He views him self more as a guarding angel.
He will not take his Raison d'ĂȘtre, reason for his existence
down.
He can't be caught but he also can't afford to
leave traces or tracks.
In his case its not only NOT getting caught
but also keeping the possibility of his existence
out of public consciousness.
If 'they' don't know he is there, 'they' won't hunt
him.
So that establishes an upper level.
Now NSA has demonstrated creative out of
the box thinking on Stuxnet, just carried old
paradigms to the extreme.
By playing the Stuxnet card they have exposed
at least this hand. And they didn't show anything
I would consider NEW. But it is the OLD brought
to the cutting edge.
And some "junk" code, I suspect NOT, the professionalism
of this OP precludes leaving "junk" code in the program.
Stuxnet while not new has opened the door for the next
dimension of warfare.
Civil war was manual.
WWII was the industrialization of warfare.
Japan was the nuclearization of war.
Iraq is the technicalization of war.
Afghan is almost the socialization of war.
Iran is the Cyberization of war.
And the US is proficient and experienced in them all.
The Iraq / Afghan war has been going on for twice
the length of WWII, and a fraction of the deaths.
US surgical strikes are acknowledged world wide.
And is part of the reason the globalization sees US
as warfare humane.
And employees the US as the worlds policeman,
which the US has been reluctant to accept except
in self interests, hence the experience of a few cases
of genocide while this cop was on patrol.
Jean Kambanda (Rwanda, 1994) | 800,000 |
Hassan Turabi (Sudan, 1989-1999) | 100,000 |
But it is this acceptance of a humanitarian warfare
that keeps the US in the lead as a world power,
and sells our Treasury Bonds which fund the Government
and economy.
And this power Iraq in 100 days, Afghan just a few days.
That power the world relies on when using the USD as
the world currency for world trade. Russia doesn't
buy oil with Ruples, but with US dollars.
The world ( my error I mean the Core here, G )
wants a strong Military power to back the worlds
currency. For stability, strength, security of the currency.
All uncertain, but higher probability with US Military power.
al Qaeda attacked and US has gone after them for 10 yrs.
al Qaeda attacked in Europe, England, Russia, Africa, China
India, and many other smaller countries.
US is the Cop going after the bad guys, with the gun
he bought and for Free. And using state of the art
technology he developed on his own dime.
The US needs to formalize this policy and method
of payment, right now the US is acting as cop, buying
his own gun and uniform pro-bona.
Not good business.
But does the purchase of safe good yield US Treasury
Bonds cover the cost. When these countries, Europe,
England, Russia, Africa, China, and India buy US Treasury
Bonds does that cover the costs?
Actually it might.
The question becomes how much of the costs of war do
the purchases equal?
The cash from the sale of these bonds is used to run
the US Government. They are a loan and earn good
interest with high security.
And the US has borrowed this money and has
to be paid back when the Bonds Mature.
Short term, these countries have paid for US
wars by investing in US Treasury Bonds.
But long term the grand kids will have to pay
this money back, the principle, while we have
been paying the interest.
But is it enough?
But this explains NSA's budget.
And how they provide world stability.
With out US Military it would be a much
more Evil world, more death and more wars.
Not saying there haven't been mistakes,
but the Natizs are not running the world
because of USA Malitary, Intelligence agencies and other
countries.
The alternate world with out US Military would be much
different, the Natizs or Imperial Japanese might be fighting the
Taliban now.
NSA type paradigm has tried to keep the
world safe. With some success.
They have taken out Iran's Nuclear bomb process,
without bombs, troops or bullets.
Stuxnet assumes the genius and tactical paradigm
and technology, it also assumes a technology a step
above Stuxnet.
The Recon for this OP, is mind boggling, these
bugging OPs worked, prior to the attack.
When Stuxnet came in it knew where it was and where
everything else was and how it all worked.
They took out items NOT connected to the Internet.
And have prevented its removal, or at least immediate
re-infection.
Iran is blocked from building a nuke, for now.
Iran is not the only one that can stall for time.
So we peg NSA's capability a couple notches
above any of the other individual or state hackers.
But the natural paradigm for the secret super, super
uber hackers limits them.
They are limited in manpower, the more that
know the higher the risk of exposure.
There is just so much he can look at in 24hrs.
And He will not take his Raison d'ĂȘtre, reason for his existence
down. Its his LOVE and life, but still a love /hate relationship.
The more professional he is the less likely a significant risk
he will be to the WWW. His highest priority will be
to remain invisible, which significantly limits his
Operations.
Statics aside if he isn't there then there is no risk.
His discovery will be a count down to a fight before
capture.
WWW Both a bane and boon to human existence.
NSA's intuition about the Cyber paradigm has
been right on, unavoidable shot gun approach,
but injures only the surgically targeted systems,
in the right countries. And very little blow back.
China and branches of the RBN have both shown
glimpses of this level of Operation, but not at NSA's
continued proficientancy.
Stuxnet has saved thousands of Iranian lives,
Cyber attack vs a kinetic attack to take out Iran's
nukes.

NSA will not provide the technology to secure
the WWW, for the public, asking them to do so,
violates their mandate.
NSA's idea of a secure WWW is not an OS that
prevents penetrations.
Congress has mis-interpreted NSA's function in asking
them to help protect the US infrastructure.
The primary method to secure the US infrastructure
is to protect the WWW with a secure OS, which NSA
will try and bust.
That Secret super super uber hacker could make
trillions though by putting one out, a secure OS.
Now to get that guy to read my blog? PLZ RT.
