The First Cyber War Has Begun...

Well, we know that all this fallout from the cablegate scandal and the Wikileaks site releasing over 250,000 diplomatic documents to the public was going to be bad to some extent, but I don't think we thought it would come down to this... Cyber War.

As you can see from recent headlines such as "WikiLeaks backlash: The first global cyber war has begun, claim hackers" you can see the pattern that is happening over time.

This will be a perfect opportunity for the Government's of the world to assert more regulation and control of the internet, which will ultimately regulate and control the freedom of information and communication between free peoples. This is a very real danger to our humanity overall, as the Internet and technology in general have helped us in too many ways to count.

Do you really think there is a cyber war going on? Should you worry you may be a helpless victim or bystander of this virtual war going on behind your computer screen? I personally don't think so, because all this have the signs of pure propaganda by our government into easing us into the idea that Internet regulation and censorship is necessary for public safety and national security, which is bogus.

Freedom of Information is the only way we can have a truly transparent and moral government, and this type of moral checking method works well with the private sector as well.

Wikileaks is running out of options and time...

Since the start of the cablegate scandal we all have seen how the world governments reacted towards Mr. Assange and became soley focused on bringing the website down at any costs. Not only this, but there was also an interpol arrest warrant issued for Mr. Assange for rape allegations, although the swiss government who has jurisdiction over the matter say this is not political in any way.

If you haven't noticed by now, the Wikileaks website is barely accessible if not at all. Most hosts have dropped their site from being hosted on their servers and now Wikileaks is depending on the Swiss Pirate Party and supporters mirror sites to get the leaks across at this point.

Either way, I think they will get Mr. Assange, even though he is only the messenger.

Wikileaks and the Banks

So now it seems that Wikileaks is going after at least one major US bank. Question is which bank? It looks as if Bank of America is the target, and Wikileaks is going to uncover the dirt and says the information is damaging enough to collapse the bank itself...

This would be huge, if true.

But, the negative news is already having an impact on the bank's shares.

Wikileaks, Cablegate, and the fallout that ensues...

Now this is quite shocking. The government is getting a bit frightened as a result of the classified document drop on the wikileaks website. They are already calling this cablegate and if you didn't know already, this is going to have major implications on how the US can conduct future foreign policy.

While there are so many things that these classified and unclassified documents contain, certain things seem quite compelling...

WikiLeaks: Arab Leaders Urged US To Attack Iran

Now with all the escalation on the Korean peninsula, who knows whats going to happen as a result of this release of diplomatic cables. But one thing is for certain, we don't want world war 3 on our hands.
