This bill CANNOT be allowed to pass. The first real (non-header) text is, "America’s failure to protect cyberspace..." That should tell you just about everything you need, but if not, read the whole thing yourself: http://cdt.org/security/CYBERSEC4.pdfThe next section talks about how we need to protect private interests from corporate espionage. The next section says "...our information infrastructure, including the Internet..." Further down, it abuses a Booz Allen Hamilton study which recommended to ‘‘establish a single voice for cybersecurity within government’’. I don't think they understand what "within government" means. "...implement a system to provide dynamic, comprehensive, real-time cybersecurity status and vulnerability information of all Federal government information systems and networks..." What's that I hear? Another "scare the masses into submission" terrorism color wheel? The Centers shall "make loans, on a selective, short-term basis, of items of advanced cybersecurity countermeasures to small businesses with less than 100 employees." Huh? Vague much? If you're not federall-certified, you can't do security work: MANDATORY LICENSING.—Beginning 3 years 2 after the date of enactment of this Act, it shall be unlawful 3 for any individual to engage in business in the United 4 States, or to be employed in the United States, as a pro- 5 vider of cybersecurity services to any Federal agency or 6 an information system or network designated by the Presi- 7 dent, or the President’s designee, as a critical infrastruc- 8 ture information system or network, who is not licensed 9 and certified under the program. First, this is stupid because it limits the pool of talent. Second, it's fucking fascism-exemplified. SEC. 9. SECURE DOMAIN NAME ADDRESSING SYSTEM. --> They don't say WTF that means. I skipped a whole bunch of wasted paper with lots of dollar signs to get down to this: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvv The President... 5 (2) may declare a cybersecurity emergency and 6 order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic 7 to and from any compromised Federal government 8 or United States critical infrastructure information 9 system or network; 1 (6) may order the disconnection of any Federal 2 government or United States critical infrastructure 3 information systems or networks in the interest of 4 national security; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ I've said it before, so why not say it again: If it's too sensitive to be on the Internet, take it off the goddam Internet! You are, of course, encouraged to voice your opinion to your "representatives": http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfmhttps://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtmlhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/Thanks, Chaz

http://newsblaze.com/story/2009032717041 3zzzz.nb/topstory.html According to http://www.un.org/Overview/uninbrief/, "the UN and its family of organizations work to promote respect for human rights", but it's OK to say that people shouldn't be able to criticize "religions", even if (especially if?) that religion espouses "death to infidels". http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/2396 Islam, that condones sex with pre-pubescents (and I'm being very kind there): http://www.islam-watch.org/Larry/Muhamma d-in-Islamic-writings-sex-life-sexual-ab use-pedophilia.htm Watch/listen to this; it's some crazy shit: http://www.truthtube.tv/play.php?vid=753 So when does the UN pass a resolution that member countries should execute non-muslims because believing in another God is an "incitement to religious hatred in general and against Islam in particular" or causes "social disharmony"? Lou Dobbs gets righter and righter. Thanks, Chaz

Here's the link to the whole thing. http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_123 7930080517.shtm Let me just call out some parts (verbatim) that produce a theme: - we are doubling the number of law enforcement personnel that are working in border-enforcement teams
- We are also strengthening Operation Armas Cruzadas.
- We are tripling the number of Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Analysts located on the Southwest border.
- We are increasing the ICE -- that's Immigration and Custom Enforcement -- Attaché personnel in Mexico by 50 percent. These will primarily be located in Mexico City, working alongside the Attorney General of Mexico.
- We will be increasing our efforts on what's called Operation Firewall
- We are doubling the number of agents in our violent crime alien sections along the border.
- We're quadrupling the number of border liaison officers.
- We are bolstering technology and resources with a significant increase in our biometric identification deployment.
- We are moving today 100 more CBP personnel to the border to do outbound inspections.
- We are moving 12 teams of cross-trained dogs.
- We are moving three mobile response teams of Border Patrol agents to deploy to the border.
- And we're increasing the number of license plate readers on
- Our goal is twofold. One is to provide assistance to the government of Mexico, to break up these huge cartels which . . . are conducting this war of violence within Mexico that has resulted in over 6,000 homicides, over 550 of which were assassinations of law enforcement and public official personnel.
Does this doubling/tripling/quadrupling shit not bother the rest of the country? Although I'm linking this article for some of the DHS statistics it includes (number of employees: 150,000!!), the utter management FAIL can't be ignored. http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?ar ticleid=39821&ref=rellink Oh, and, it's the [shiver] Department of HOMELAND Security. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MEXICO! We don't have to worry about Spanish being recognized as a national language, because we'll all be speaking German soon. Thanks, Chaz
