CIA's Internet War Exercise Wraps Up Today

The CIA is conducting a secretive war game, dubbed "Silent Horizon," this week to practice defending against an electronic assault on the same scale as the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks.
The three-day exercise, ending Thursday, was meant to test the ability of government and industry to respond to escalating Internet disruptions over many months, according to participants. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the CIA asked them not to disclose details of the sensitive exercise taking place in Charlottesville, Va., about two hours southwest of Washington.
The simulated attacks were carried out five years in the future by a fictional alliance of anti-American organizations, including anti-globalization hackers. The most serious damage was expected to be inflicted in the war game's closing hours.

Wouldn't you rather the government be prepared for information warfare than not? This isn't anything more than it appears to be, the majority of U.S. Federal Agencies conduct exercises similar to this quite frequently, from CIA to ICE.
if they are only interested in protecting 'america', why are they specifically targetting 'anti-globalist hackers'?
i'll tell you why. because the secret police ALL work for the globalists.
this message will self-destruct in five seconds.
p.s. the government isn't 'preparing' for information warfare, friend. the war is FULL-ON and has been for centuries.
