The CIA, FBI and DARPA funded Facebook... it -is- the tool. Anyone who does the Facebook thing is just building their own intelligence file. Of course a smart person can use it as a disinformation tool as well.

I have to agree. I work in the electric motor industry, we have plants in China so I have first hand experience with their engineering and manufacturing capabilities. They are copiers, not innovators and they are not very good at even copying. Stated simply, they build junk from junk materials. Low quality materials, non-existent quality controls and zero pride in their work. They do the absolute bare minimum to get a product to market and they don't care if it works the day after it is sold.

I am not saying they are not a threat but right now, if we had to fight a war with them, they are toast in a very short period of time. In a decade that might not be true but fortunately, their era of being manufacturing king of the hill is over. For various reasons, they are on the down slope from their peak and if we get on the ball and continue to upgrade our technology, they can not catch up.

Actually, I suspect it is well below the 1% margin, probably more like .01% or less. However, you are correct, I'm sure they are well prepared. Even so, I would not want to be in their shoes when the meltdown happens because their only chance of survival will be to remain hidden. If people know where they are at, there is no preparation or defense that will be adequate to protect them.

After they say this every other day for months, it becomes just background static. Nobody with any common sense needs the IMF to tell them our governments (and others) out of control spending is going to lead to a financial catastrophe.

There are three types of people... the parasite class who don't listen or care and won't until their gov checks stop coming in the mail. The producer class who are doing their part, working, paying their bills and taxes while holding their breath hoping we will some how squeak through in the end. Then you have another group of producers who realize we are not going to make it and do what they can to prepare for the coming collapse.

The third group will largely survive and even possibly grow stronger in the process, these are the people who will rebuild from the ashes. The second group just might squeak through if they are resourceful enough. The first group will be exterminated through natural selection and mother nature.

Which are you?

All lib cities, what a surprise. I can't wait for the coming collapse, finally the welfare parasite class will get what they deserve... starvation!

Then hang them! However, everyone knows they won't do a thing about it.

Don't fret Brits... we are going to correct the obama mistake in about 11 months.

There is no security that can absolutely protect industrial systems, zero. When you have such a large base with access, there are always going to be ways to get through *any* security implemented, period. These are not highly classified or secured facilities when in an industrial environment and that just makes it exponentially easier for a breech. The only realistic way to prevent a breech is to not have industrial infrastructure online to begin with. There is no great need for this that can't be addressed with other methods without putting critical infrastructure on the Internet, the whole concept is insane and just asking to be attacked. Sheer stupidity.

Every MSM story about this person or the event had the comments section disabled. There is a concerted effort to try to stop this story from getting out.

If Iran does get a nuke, they will use it. These zealots strap bombs to their wives and kids and send them onto a bus to kill civilians, it is obvious what they would do with a nuke. Unfortunately, obama is doing the best he can to allow his radical muslim buddies in Iran to get their nukes. One, because he hates Israel and two because he is a muslim or at the very least, a muslim sympathizer.

Personally, I think Iran is very close... like within weeks of having a completed nuke and a delivery system. I also think Israel knows this and intends a last ditch raid to prevent it. Time will tell but this talk of waiting until next spring is likely propaganda, if there is going to be a strike, it will be soon.

They won't tell the US because they know obama would warn his fellow muslims in Iran. On the other hand, now that they have the deep penetrating bunker buster bombs they needed, US participation would be welcome but not required. They must go it alone because they can't trust obama and I certainly don't blame them.

On the bright side, just about every other muslim country in the middle east will support them under the table. Publicly they will condemn Israel because they have to but in reality, they would offer Israel any help they needed to make this strike a success. Even the other muslims in the region know what that a nuke armed Iran is dangerous to the world.
