Re the elective war over Ukraine, there is an incredible book out: The War Against Putin: What the Government-Media Complex Isn't Telling You About Russia, which I nominate as the book of the century (yes!) in so far as it has the power to wake up the masses and thus prevent any attempt by the Internationalist Cabal to facilitate world war III.

Samsung's warning: Our Smart TVs record your living room chatter
Technically Incorrect: Samsung's small print says that its Smart TV's voice recognition system will not only capture your private conversations, but also pass them onto third parties.
The wording, first spotted by the Daily Beast, first informs you that the company may “capture voice commands and associated texts so that we can provide you with Voice Recognition features and evaluate and improve the features.” The following words border are numbing: “Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition.” We are NOT having your mother here this weekend, next weekend or ANY weekend! I'm pregnant and it's not yours.

Tom Brannon: The Arrival of Network Armies
Advanced Cyber/IO, IO Deeds of WarThe Arrival of the Network Armies
The Effect on Public Policy And Marketing
Industry and government in the United States are addressing the task of dealing with ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) and its primary attribute, the Internet. The power of the Internet as a communications and marketing tool has become recognized as mission critical and is causing upheavals and reengineering throughout most industrial sectors and government agencies. This document presents a look at the decentralized phenomena known as Network Armies and proposes that a focus from the perspective of various user groups, along with the use of methodologies such as Cybernetics, will yield new and unimagined benefits in marketing and communications, new potential for private ownership of data, and a new paradigm of individual control in communications and marketing. Implementation of the ideas posited will result in substantive public policy considerations and will create a new sector on the Internet (C2B), with related political and monetary issues.

This systempunkt would enable a prepared individual the unique ability to shut down a large part of the US without shedding a drop of blood. For example, this attack has the ability to:
