US accuses China government and military of cyber-spying

China's government and military have targeted US government computers as part of a cyber espionage campaign, a US report on China says.

Intrusions were focused on collecting intelligence on US diplomatic, economic and defence sectors which could benefit China's own defence programme, it says.

This is the first time the Pentagon's annual report has directly linked such attacks to the Beijing government.

China called the report "groundless", saying it represented "US distrust".

A report from state news agency Xinhua cited Sr Col Wang Xinjun, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) researcher, describing the report as "irresponsible and harmful to the mutual trust between the two countries".

Both China and the US were victims of cybercrimes and should work together to tackle the problems, the agency quoted him as saying.

This is the most explicit US statement so far charging that it is the Chinese government and military that are behind at least some of the many intrusions into US government computer systems.

It marks a general toughening of the US position over the course of this year. President Barack Obama raised the cyber-security threat in a telephone call to Chinese President Xi Jinping in March. The issue figured prominently when US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew visited Beijing a few days later.

There have long been fears about China's ability to steal technical and industrial secrets But this latest Pentagon report warns that China's activities go well beyond this "building a picture of US defence networks, logistics and related military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis."

US experts believe that China's "area denial" strategy - its effort to push US naval forces well away from its shores - could have a significant cyber dimension.

Of course the United States is also rapidly developing capabilities to counter-cyber attacks and to go on the offensive itself. Indeed this is a field where the boundaries between offence and defence are blurred. US Cyber Command is expanding rapidly. The US and others are thought to be behind a number of computer virus attacks against elements of Iran's nuclear programme; a small glimpse of what the future of warfare may look like.

The Pentagon report also criticises a "lack of transparency" in China's military modernisation programme and defence spending.

Netanyahu Jews capable of self defense

SHANGHAI (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday visited a Shanghai neighborhood where European Jews found refuge during World War II, saying Israel’s strong military would ensure they would never again have to seek such protection from others.

Netanyahu’s visit to China’s eastern financial hub followed Israel’s weekend airstrike on a Syrian military complex near Damascus, which killed at least 42 Syrian soldiers and destroyed an Iranian shipment of guided missiles destined for Israel’s sworn foe Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The prime minister hasn’t directly commented on the raids during his China trip, which is largely focused on strengthening economic ties. On Tuesday, Netanyahu and his wife toured Shanghai’s Ohel Moshe synagogue in the Hongkou district that was home to many of the 18,000 Jews granted refuge in Shanghai from the horrors of Nazi persecution.

Netanyahu said that “while the fate of the Jewish people has changed significantly since then, when Jews could only plead to be rescued, today the Jewish people has a state and army of its own, and no longer needs to plead to be rescued,” according to a statement from his office.

Hongkou is also home to the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum and a considerable amount of prewar housing that has survived destruction during the city’s recent rise as a regional financial powerhouse.

Netanyahu is to arrive in Beijing on Wednesday for talks with Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping, just one day after the departure of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. China’s hosting of the two during the same week emphasizes its desire for a bigger role in the Middle East.

The Israeli attacks on Syria have underscored the difficulty of China’s quest to retain a balance in its relations with the regional players. For a second day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying expressed China’s opposition to such interventions, without mentioning Israel by name.

“We call on all sides of Syria to give top priority to the interest of the Syrian people, launch political dialogue and carry out the political transition as soon as possible,” Hua said, in answer to questions at a regularly scheduled news conference.

“China also calls on all sides concerned to earnestly respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, remain restrained and calm, avoid the use of military force and acts that might raise tension, and play a responsible and constructive role in politically resolving the Syrian issue,” she said.

While in Shanghai, Netanyahu also visited an industrial park and met with Mayor Yang Xiong, with whom he agreed to establish joint research agencies to develop technologies in water use, renewable energy, and public health.

The Pied Piper of the Godless Music Industry

Wherever one goes today, multitudes of teens and young children can be seen avidly imitating and idolizing the vast array of musicians and their decadent, chic culture and lifestyle. Television, satellite radio, iPods and the internet have revolutionized and intensified the accessibility to this hypnotic, godless spirit (2 Cor. 4:3-4;Eph. 2:1-2). America’s youth in particular are being intoxicated and brainwashed at anexponential rate with Lucifer’s subtle and godless message of “Do as Thou wilt.”

What is even more tragic is the majority of “out to lunch” parents who are totally oblivious and gullible about the damnable influence this culture and its demonic propaganda has over their children. These are messages of godlessness, anti-authority, licentiousness and promiscuity, immorality, vice, drug use, suicide, anarchy, violence, rape, “godless good,” delusional aspirations and fallen human hopes apart from the Creator in righteousness. These OTL parents are just as delusional and are products themselves of the same brainwashing and narcissistic tactics used by the Devil in the decadent and subjective 60’s music culture.
,

America’s youth in particular are being intoxicated and brainwashed at an exponential rate with Lucifer’s subtle and godless message of "Do as Thou wilt."

This narcissistic and emotionally driven mindset, feel-good philosophy, relativistic and non-judgmental ideology of modern American parenthood has spawned a far greater reprobate generation than themselves. The entire world is spiraling out of control, and we (America) are at the very vortex of the spiral. This is why we are now experiencing on a global scale an exponential increase in godlessness and lawlessness that brings with it horrendous consequences (Gal. 6:7-9).

From Rap to Heavy Metal, New Country to R&B, Pop to Grunge - even to the subtle teeny-bopper bubble gum music of today’s godless, pluralistic Disney channel – all genres have one common denominator. That denominator is to conform and fashion the youth of today’s America into godless reprobates wholly given over to their base desires and narcissistic ambitions. Lucifer, the ex-chief musician of Almighty God’s throne room (Ezek. 28:13-19), knows very well what music can do to the fallen nature of humanity left unchecked and unbalanced in light of natural law and the eternal righteous absolutes of Almighty God (Romans 1:18-32; 3:9-23). The hypnotizing lyrics mixed with various blends of percussion, guitar, piano and rhythm brings its listeners into an altered state of consciousness and prepares them to receive Lucifer’s subtle message of “Do as thou wilt.” 

Although music itself is amoral, i.e., there is nothing truly “wrong” with it in and by itself, when it comes to how one uses it, that is another story altogether.

The Copy Cats and Monkeys Seers

The youth of any particular generation love to imitate and follow these godless performers in their different eras; they are cleverly marketed and sold as good to the youth of this world. From Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra to Elvis and the Beatles, from Led Zeppelin to Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam to Marylyn Manson, etc., these have all been used to sell a bill of demonic goods for patterns to live out reprobate (ungodly) lives here in time. There is truly "nothing new under the sun" (i.e., in terms of human nature and imagination, not in a “technological” sense). Whatever your flavor, Lucifer has it for you. This tactic is as old as that used in the Garden of Eden, i.e., to challenge God's word and authority. Countless generations have followed after these damnable hypnotic trends, and the majority has allowed themselves to be led astray. There is something about music that temporarily satisfies the soul (like a drug). Humanity uses music to soothe and nourish their famished souls which were created for Almighty God and His ETERNAL Person. Those who reject their Creator’s mercy and saving grace (Romans 7:24-25) seek to fill this void with idolatry, material possessions, sex, drugs and, yes….Rock-n-roll music culture. It is a way to express themselves and to “lash out” at this fallen world which has them caught in their web.

The Game Plan - Lucifer's Successful War
.

The admiration and idolatrous worship of these demonic lyric masters (musicians) is all part and parcel of the Evil Master’s master plan, i.e., to deceive, mislead, derail and detour as many souls as possible from coming to a saving relationship of Almighty God in truth and righteousness (John 8:44; 2 Thess. 2:9-12). Because of his primeval rebellion against God, Lucifer hates Adam’s race created in the image of God. From Adam’s race came the woman from whom was born the Savior of the world (Gen. 3:14-15; Gal. 3:16; 4:4; Rev. 12:1-4), who is also the Divine Judge of Lucifer and his rebellious minions - both angelic and human (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10-15).
.

Lucifer’s rebellion is an insane and delusional attempt to overthrow Almighty God’s Eternal Sovereignty of righteousness for replacement with His own fallen rule and godless tyranny.

Does this revelation and evaluation seem far-fetched and “over the top”? Does this sound like “fringe religion” and the height of kookiness? Well then, my friend, you are blinded to the realities of the Great Spiritual War now raging for the heart, souls and minds of mankind (2 Cor. 4:3-4). This spiritual warfare is thousands of years old, though it will soon be coming to a climax at the Battle of Armageddon. Lucifer’s rebellion is an insane and delusional attempt to overthrow Almighty God’s Eternal Sovereignty of righteousness for replacement with His own fallen rule and godless tyranny (Isa. 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:13-19; Rev. 12; 20:7-10). He is a hater of all that is life and light (reality), and the lover of all that is death and darkness (John 8:43-44).

Lucifer knows that the vast spectrum of flavors in his hypnotic "goodie bag” crosses all languages, cultures, borders, creeds, and ethnicities. These sensual delights so offered are his attempt to overcome the hurdle put in place by Almighty God at the Tower of Babel to slow down man’s unholy unity AGAINST God and His Righteous absolutes. Music is the universal language of this world and Lucifer, the Supreme Angel of Music, is a master of this. (Note the ending lyrics of this very famous pop song sung by Barry Manilow, “I Write The Songs,” where the singer exclaims, “I AM MUSIC!”) This insane genius knows the game and how to best exploit the weaknesses of his victims (John 8:44).

The music industry has single-handedly ravished and re-formatted the condition of our culture and the substance of our society to a godless and decadent wasteland.

No single campaign strategy has been more successful in Satan’s war to corrupt mankind than that found in the music industry. Like no other entity, the music industry has single-handedly ravished and re-formatted the condition of our culture and the substance of our society to a godless and decadent wasteland.

Just take a long, hard look at the history of the music industry in America since the Roaring Twenties. Its progression has been exponential, so also has been its wake of devastation on the family, morals, society and our Judean/ Christian heritage.

Liberated By Christ

As one whom Almighty God has saved out of this insane, decadent culture and lifestyle, I (DJP I.F.) personally know all too well that it is a machine of godlessness, excess and ruin. Oh, how I now sing praise to Almighty God for His grace and mercy to this lost transgressor who was saved from the ETERNAL ruin of his delusion and hypnotic stupor! Praise be to His glorious name forever and ever. Amen.

As the days in which we live get more and more godless, decadent and vile, thank God that He has provided a solution - a Savior - for those who are walking the course of this world in darkness and unbelief (Eph. 2:1-12).

Oh, how I now sing praise to Almighty God for His grace and mercy to this lost transgressor who was saved from the ETERNAL ruin of his delusion and hypnotic stupor!

Dear Reader, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? In these days this is the ONE most pertinent and relevant question that one could ask and give answer to. One’s entire destiny and ETERNAL future depends on it. Things are only getting worse and more desperate, which is setting the stage for the Ultimate Lie and Delusion (Matt. 24:15; Rev. 13). May you place your faith in the God of REALITY and TRUTH so that you will not be part of this damnable illusion. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31), and you will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!

Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day.

Iran: West Providing Chemical Weapons to Syrian Rebels

TEHRAN, May 7 (RIA Novosti) – Iran accused Western powers on Tuesday of helping Syrian rebels gain access to chemical weapons.

“Women and children in Syria are dying from the use of different types of weapons, including chemical weapons, which fall into terrorist hands with the support of Western states,” an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

The Syrian government refers to rebels fighting forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad as “terrorists.”

Both sides in the more than two-year civil war in Syria have accused each other of using chemical weapons in recent months.

A White House spokesman said on Monday that the US did not believe that rebels had used chemical weapons.
“We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

The statement followed comments by Carla Del Ponte, a member of the UN commission to monitor and investigate reported human rights abuses in Syria, in which she said the commission had received testimony from victims and doctors about the alleged use of the deadly nerve gas sarin by rebel forces.

The United States has said the use of chemical weapons by forces loyal to Assad would cross a “red line.”

Bee-size drones revealed

Russia would not tolerate further Israeli attacks on Damascus and would respond.

Negative diplomatic ricochets are pursuing Israel in the aftermath of its air force attacks on Syria. In the first place, they are seen to have had no effect on Hizballah’s successful military intervention on the side of the Assad regime or the Syrian war at large. In the second, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, while in Shanghai, was given a sharp dressing-down by President Vladimir Putin Monday, May 6, a warning that Russia would not tolerate further Israeli attacks on Damascus and would respond.

Putin did not say how, but he did announce he had ordered the acceleration of highly advanced Russian weapons supplies to Syria.

DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that the Russian leader was referring to S-300 anti-air systems and the nuclear-capable 9K720 Iskander (NATO named SS-26 Stone) surface missiles, which are precise enough to hit a target within a 5-7 meter radius at a distance of 280 kilometers.

In his phone call to Netanyahu, the Russian leader made no bones about his determination not to permit the US, Israel or any other regional force (e.g. Turkey and Qatar) overthrow President Bashar Assad. He advised the prime minister to make sure to keep this in mind.

Our sources add: Since Syrian air defense teams have already trained in Russia on the handling of the S-300 interceptor batteries, they can go into service as soon as they are landed by one of Russia’s daily airlifts to Syria. Russian air defense officials will supervise their deployment and prepare them for operation.

Moscow is retaliating not just for Israel’s air operations against Syria but in anticipation of the Obama administration’s impending decision to send the first US arms shipments to the Syrian rebels.

Intelligence agencies in Moscow and the Middle East take it for granted that by the time Washington goes public on this decision, some of the Syrian rebel factions will already be armed with American weapons.

That the measure was in the works was signified by the introduction Monday by Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, of legislation allowing the US to provide arms and military training to the Syrian rebels,

US military instructors have been working with Syrian rebels at training camps in Jordan and Turkey for some months. So putting the arms in their hands only awaited a decision in Washington.

Putin’s message to Netanyahu was intended to reach a wider audience than Jerusalem, such as Barack Obama in Washington and President Xi Jinping in Beijing ahead of Netanyahu’s talks there Tuesday.

Therefore, when US Secretary of State John Kerry landed in Moscow that day, in an attempt “bridge the divide” between their governments on the Syria conflict, he was preceded by a barrage of Russian condemnation of the Israeli air strikes in Damascus “as a threat to regional stability,” a stiff warning from the Russian foreign ministry to the “West” to stop “politicizing the issue of chemical weapons in Syria,” and Moscow’s “concern that world public opinion was being prepared for possible foreign military intervention.”

In other words, the Russian leader rejected in advance and with both hands any attempt by the US to use the Israeli air strikes as leverage for a deal with Moscow for ending the Syrian war. US weapons supplies to the rebels would furthermore be matched by stepped-up arms supplies to the Assad regime, which Putin is totally committed to preserving.

Kerry planned back-to-back meetings Tuesday with Russian officials focusing mainly on Syria but also covering the Russian angle on the Boston bombings, and hoped-for cooperation on the Iranian and North Korean nuclear issues.
The Chinese government’s cold shoulder to Israel was exhibited less directly that Moscow’s but no less firmly. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas was invited to visit Beijing and meet President Xi two days before the prime arrived in the Chinese capital Tuesday to begin the official part of his visit. The Chinese president unveiled his peace plan before meeting the Israeli prime minister.

This plan emphasizes, as the key to a settlement, the Palestinian right to a state on the basis of 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital. It also adopts Abbas’s preconditions for talks, including a stop to settlement activities, an end of the Gaza blockade and “proper handling” of the Palestinian prisoners issue.
Clearly, Prime Minister Netanyahu would have been wiser to postpone his Chinese visit instead of taking off while Israeli air force blasts will still reverberating in Damascus. By staying at home, he would have displayed a firmer and steadier hand at the helm.
And after taking off, he would have done well not to linger for two days in Shanghai first. This gave the Russian leader the chance to catch him wrong-footed and administer a strong, publicized rebuke, so bearing down on the agenda of Netanyahu’s forthcoming talks with Chinese leaders.

The U.S. Government Is Monitoring All Phone Calls, All Emails And All Internet

Big Brother is watching everything that you do on the Internet and listening to everything that you say on your phone.  Every single day in America, the U.S. government intercepts and stores nearly 2 billion emails, phone calls and other forms of electronic communication.  

Former NSA employees have come forward and have described exactly what is taking place, and this surveillance activity has been reported on by prominent news organizations such as the Washington Post, Fox News and CNN, but nobody really seems to get too upset about it.  Either most Americans are not aware of what is really going on or they have just accepted it as part of modern life.  But where will this end? 

 Do we really want to live in a dystopian “Big Brother society” where the government literally reads every single thing that we write and listens to every single thing that we say?  Is that what the future of America is going to look like?  If so, what do you think our founding fathers would have said about that?

Many Americans may not realize this, but nothing that you do on your cell phone or on the Internet will ever be private again.  According to the Washington Post, the NSA intercepts and stores an astounding amount of information every single day…

Every day, collection systems at the National Security Agency intercept and store 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls and other types of communications. The NSA sorts a fraction of those into 70 separate databases.

But even the Washington Post may not have been aware of the full scope of the surveillance.  In fact, National Security Agency whistleblower William Binney claims that the NSA has collected “20 trillion transactions” involving U.S. citizens…

In fact, I would suggest that they’ve assembled on the order of 20 trillion transactions about U.S. citizens with other U.S. citizens.

And NSA whistleblowers have also told us that the agency “has the capability to do individualized searches, similar to Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email.”

So the NSA must have tremendous data storage needs.  That must be why they are building such a mammoth data storage center out in Utah.  According to Fox News, it will have the capability of storing 5 zettabytes of data…

The NSA says the Utah Data Center is a facility for the intelligence community that will have a major focus on cyber security. The agency will neither confirm nor deny specifics. Some published reports suggest it could hold 5 zettabytes of data. (Just one zettabyte is the equivalent of about 62 billion stacked iPhones 5′s– that stretches past the moon.

Are you outraged by all of this?

You should be.

The U.S. government is spying on the American people and yet they continue to publicly deny that they are actually doing it.

Last week, this government spying program was once again confirmed by another insider.  What former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente told Erin Burnett of CNN is absolutely astounding…

BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. It’s not a voice mail. It’s just a conversation. There’s no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them?

CLEMENTE: “No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It’s not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out.

BURNETT: “So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible.

CLEMENTE: “No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not.”

Yes, “all of that stuff” is most definitely being “captured” and it is time for the Obama administration to be honest with the American people about what is actually going on.

Meanwhile, the recent bombing in Boston has many of our politicians calling for even tighter surveillance.

For example, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently said that our interpretation of the U.S. Constitution will “have to change” to deal with the new threats that we are facing.  More “smart cameras” are going up in New York, and Bloomberg says that we are “never going to know where all of our cameras are”.  The following is from a recent RT article…

New York City police officials intend to expand the already extensive use of surveillance cameras throughout town. The plan, unveiled Thursday, comes as part of a drive for increased security around the US following the Boston Marathon attack.

New York City Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly announced the plan during a press conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in which the two announced that the suspected Boston Marathon bombers were planning to attack New York next. The pair said they hope to discourage criminals by using so-called “smart cameras” that will aggregate data from 911 alerts, arrest records, mapped crime patterns, surveillance cameras and radiation detectors, among other tools, according to The Verge.

“You’re never going to know where all of our cameras are,” Bloomberg told reporters gathered outside City Hall. “And that’s one of the ways you deter people; they just don’t know whether the person sitting next to you is somebody sitting there or a detective watching.”

Will you feel safer if the government is watching you 100% of the time?

Do you want them to see what you are doing 100% of the time?

You might want to think about that, because that is where all of this is headed.

In fact, the truth is that spy cameras are not just going up all over New York City.  Most Americans may not realize this, but a network of spy cameras is now going up all over the nation.  The following is an excerpt from one of my previous articles…

“You are being watched.  The government has a secret system – a machine – that spies on you every hour of every day.”  That is how each episode of “Person of Interest” on CBS begins.  Most Americans that have watched the show just assume that such a surveillance network is completely fictional and that the government would never watch us like that.  Sadly, most Americans are wrong.  Shocking new details have emerged this week which prove that a creepy nationwide network of spy cameras is being rolled out across the United States.  Reportedly, these new spy cameras are “more accurate than modern facial recognition technology”, and every few seconds they send back data from cities and major landmarks all over the United States to a centralized processing center where it is analyzed.  The authorities believe that the world has become such a dangerous place that the only way to keep us all safe is to watch what everyone does all the time.  But the truth is that instead of “saving America”, all of these repressive surveillance technologies are slowly killing our liberties and our freedoms.  America is being transformed into an Orwellian prison camp right in front of our eyes, and very few people are even objecting to it.

For many more examples of how the emerging Big Brother surveillance grid is tightening all around us, please see my previous article entitled “19 Signs That America Is Being Systematically Transformed Into A Giant Surveillance Grid“.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is telling us to reject those that are warning us about government tyranny.  The following is what he told the graduating class of The Ohio State University on May 5th, 2013…

Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.

So what do you think?

Should we just ignore all of the violations of our privacy that are happening?

Should we just ignore what the U.S. Constitution says about privacy and let the government monitor us however it wants to?
