EMANY01:


There are two main weapon systems suits that (mostly western forces) try to never use unless its fir real war and against a peer state [read China,Russia]:

Cyber war tools (stuxnet,major bandwidth hacks,communication nodes and operating systems).

Electronic warfare tools (radar systems,sensor disruption,anti disruptive systems[resilient system ]anti-jamming technologies like frequency hopping and DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum).

Not a matter of movies, even when this systems are built they try to test them as far away from human/urban areas as much as possible.Places like china lake and far up the Arctic or Antarctica places it will be hard to have spy's come looking .

The U.S. Air Force, has taken the lead in developing electronic tools for attacking and defending satellite communications, he satellites themselves, and has been training people to use these techniques. This effort involves figuring out new, or improved, ways to jam satellites. Then you keep that stuff secret, in case potential enemies have not figured this out themselves. Next, you work on ways to defeat the weapons developed. Most of this is playing around with the signals themselves. You can un-jam a jamming signal with another signal. However, a lot of trial and error is required and you want to get that done way in advance of any actual war. When you do have to use this stuff for real, you have to expect that the enemy may well have come up with some angle you missed. Thus, there will be some rapid improvisation, and you will have more time and resources for this if you have worked out ahead of time the details of disasters you have already anticipated. No one is releasing much information about this, for obvious reasons. There won't be much discussion from any government, unless there is a terrorist attack using these techniques.

Re: USA Shuts Down North Korea's Internet After Sony Hack by brainpower(m): 9:35am On Dec 23, 2014
I saw a report where North Korea denied hacking sony. But the US should have been more patient cos I believe there's more to this hacking than meets the eye. Though the world knows them, whenever they dislike any country, they no longer listen to logic, they go all out to do what they want be it in the middle east or africa or asia.
Who is to say that they didn't do the hacking themselves after North Korea showed their displeasure about the movie? And why should they ridicule the head of another sovereign country? What happened to diplomacy?
I have stopped seeing anything the US does as black and white. There's always something hidden somewhere.

I fail to see what a movie making fun of a leader whose father was responsible for the death of millions of his countrymen would do to his country.

Anyway....US is not invading NK....China won't allow it(because they don't want the US on their borders, and because they do not want a unified Korea for various historical reasons)...and even if they did....South Korea cannot bear the cost of reunification with the North (estimated to be $17trillion).

P.S- The American movie industry is not necessarily pro-American government....one needs to watch the films of Oliver Stone for example

America just wants to push N.K small, so that any nonsense from the chubby presido will be met wit an offensive that will render N.K like the former USSR. Simple.

If you've been following the Sony, North Korea and
the US government saga then you should know what
this is about. But let me give a brief summary
because I'm about to board a flight.

Sony Pictures released a movie called The Interview,
a comedy about a fictional assassination of North
Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.. North Korean didn't
find it funny and hacked into Sony's computers,
rendering thousands of computers inoperable and
forced Sony to take its entire computer network
offline. That wasn't enough, they then threatened
terror attack on US citizens if Sony doesn't cancel
showing the movie, forcing Sony to pull the interview
from theaters and losing almost $200m. Then the US
government got involved and told Sony to go ahead and
release the movie, that they don't take lightly to
threats and promised to retaliate for the attack on
Sony. It looks like they've kept their to promise. North
Korea is currently offline. Lol

"Internet connectivity between North Korea and
the outside world is currently suffering one of
its worst outages in recent memory, suggesting
that the country may be enduring a mass cyber
attack a few days after President Obama warned
the US would launch a "proportional response" to
North Korea's hack against Sony
North Korea, which has four official networks
connecting the country to the Internet -- all of
which route through China -- began experiencing
intermittent problems yesterday and today went
completely black, according to Doug Madory,
director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in
Hanover, New Hampshire." Bloomberg reports.

I find this so hilarious! Moral of the story, don't mess with the USA.

The real ruler of the world is science and technology. Think of it this way:
Science is like the mind and technology the body. If you have no mind and body as a person you're dead!. Likewise, a country without scientific and technological innovation cannot develop.

America is only a world power because they're immersed in science. China have embraced science and is now a world power. The little power North Korea pulls is because they have a good grasp of science. Iran have a good grasp of science as well and is growing. Ever wondered why the west is in confrontation with both Iran and North Korea?. The real reason is because they're threatened these countries have a good grasp of science. They don't want them to be able to build for example; a BIG bomb (technology) to fight back should there be war against them. That's the truth.

Similarly, the west do not want Africa to have discovery of home grown science. The west prefers we remain dependent and blind and therefore depend on them for all our needs. But, until we embrace science, Africa is dead. Do you know if they want they will switch off our entire continent internet connection?. Some of us have been preaching science with any little opportunity and until this's done Africa cannot develop.

Sometimes I wonder how people reason.

Something of this nature happened earlier this year between U.S nd Russia
Lotta peeps said [b]Russia will crumble U.S economy
this nd that at the end Russia is paying the price.

Now NK nd u still see peeps talk trash.
Americans don't just act movies for acting sake they do based on intelligence gathered either from their own or from other country nd add a lil bit of entertainment.

Americans re d world power nd they act as such irrespective of d circumstances
Unlike our clueless fisherman.[/b]

Is the US economy healthy? Both Russia, Europe and America are losing billions of dollars daily due to the sanctions America placed on Russia of which obama himself admitted that the sanctions aint yielding desirable fruit.
