Very interesting connection ianchattan joined and made his first post to this thread on 3/1/2011.
TinfoilTP (swich the P with the T and you might have Protoplasmic Traveler) also joiined and made his first post to this thread on 3/1/2011!
ianchattan has only made posts to this thread.
TinfoilTP has primarily only posted to this thread except for a couple of Libyan and Iranian threads.
Judging by the quality of ianchattan's post, and the frustration in TinfoilTP's posts I would say TinfoilTP is not happy with the overall quality of the HB Gary software.
We certainly do seem to have the sockpuppet (ianchattan) and the meat puppet TinfoilTP, in what is very likely an effort to see if even the discerning minds on this thread can be fooled by the use of this software.
I believe we are getting a little mini-demonstration of how this software works.
I think they want us to piece that together, and to conclude that the software does not work very well and we should not be alarmed or concerned about it.
Whoever sits at the other end you can quote me "I am flattered really I am, but I absolutely am going to expose you all, and stop the Shadow Government's plans".
Pass that up the line please!
Thanks!edit on 4/3/11 by ProtoplasmicTraveler because: (no reason given)
Are we seeing the kind of typical long range planning that the Powers that Be use, by educating a special class of individuals to perform as international cyber warriors?
Turning any dissenters here in this thread into cyber zombies was desperate but expected.

Yes I think you are correct. Usually TPTB puppets are well educated and very well trained in debate and the delphi technique.
These two get an F minus
Obama just appointed three men to oversee our "Economic Recovery" These are the SAME THREE who were instrumental in wiping out 20% of US manufacturing in 14 years! This is the trio who under Clinton gave us WTO, NAFTA, repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act and China’s entry into the WTO.
I get it now, any poster who is not on board and sheeple'n along nicely, must be a bot. This app is brilliant after all!!! You don't have to buy it, borrow it, or pirate it, it's just always there to invoke wherever dissenting opinion appears. I got a thought.....if this app is so great and top shelf warrior material for cyber warfare, why let the top guy go to get snatched up by the enemy so he can be employed making it for them? This defies logic, I mean people disapear for inventing free energy but they let this guy go???
The only thing I believe this program could be directly responsible for is the Justin Beiber craze. Really. If the man put together a team to build it once, he can do it again, also just because his justifications for making the program were leaked, does not mean it amounts to a hill of beans in the real world. Snakeoil was said to do wonderful things also. Why go through the bother of this, we know there are plenty of armchair revolutionaries out there itching to really organize protests, you are stealing their thunder by saying cyber zombies matter more than they do.
Go in front of Congress and say "but there are 10,000 people at my internet forum who say this" and get laughed out of town. If you choose to be gullible and believe an internet forum to sway your vote, well then you are no different than the guy who relies on a TV commercial. Last time I checked, TV commercials are everywhere. This brings us to this: Well...TV commercials are regulated, you cannot incite violence on them. Which leads to this.... The Internet needs regulation. So there you go, if you believe this program is going to influence Democracy, then you are also for Internet regulation.
All I see evidence of is they are using it to sit in on groups so they can SPY on them and know stuff that spies are always interested in. Who are they, their intentions, and so forth. This just proves that the stuff is garbage and does not work because the protests came as a suprise to everybody. If this app worked they would have known ahead of time who was organizing and tipped off Mubarak and he'd still be there. There is no evidence this app is worth the money spent on it. More of our taxdollars down the drain is what it looks like.
I think it's pretty evident through your membership date, posting pattern, and agenda, in addition to now your own admission that you have some strategy in mind.....
You sure do post a lot of anti Clinton anti Obama propaganda.
Whose side are you on?
BEIJING – Google-backed Chinese video and music file-sharing firm Xunlei, once sued by six Hollywood studios for film piracy, hopes to raise $200 million in a U.S. initial public offering, hiring JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank to get ready.
The company, whose name is pronounced “shoon-lay,” will follow Chinese video-sharing firm Youku and e-commerce site Dangdang into the U.S. market, Bloomberg News said on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the IPO plans of the Shenzhen-based outfit.
The middle class in the U.S. and the reputation of the U.S. all around fared far better under Clinton than it did under Reagan and either Bush.
If PNTR for China is approved by Congress, a projection of trade trends over the next decade shows that the trade deficit will expand, resulting in sizeable job losses in every state and in virtually every sector of the economy. The absolute level of the U.S. trade deficit with China will increase by at least 80% between 1999 and 2010, eliminating a total 872,091 jobs.
n the figure below, state-level, industry-specific employment is used to estimate the job gains or losses of the China-WTO deal in each of the 50 states. Every state in the United States will suffer significant job losses from the China-WTO deal over the next decade. Major losses will be experienced over the next decade in California (84,294 jobs lost), Texas (50,409 lost), and Pennsylvania (45,824 lost). Eleven states will lose more than 28,500 jobs in this period. Other states that will experience significant job losses include New York (58,699 jobs lost), North Carolina (47,151 lost), Tennessee (38,098 lost), Ohio (34,687 lost), and Massachusetts (28,501 lost). A number of farm states will also be hard hit, including Illinois (38,082 jobs lost), Indiana (30,324 lost), Minnesota (17,833 lost), and Kansas (2,573 lost).

Over 3 million U.S. manufacturing jobs – 1 in out of every 6 manufacturing jobs – lost. By the end of 2005, the U.S had only 14,232,000 million manufacturing jobs left – down from nearly 17 million (16,774,000)1 before NAFTA and WTO went into effect in the early 1990s....
• The U.S. job export crisis is expanding from manufacturing to high-tech and services.
* Studies commissioned and then buried by the U.S. government show that as many as 48,417 U.S. jobs – including many in high-tech – were off-shored in the first three months of 2004 alone.5
* Economy.com estimates that nearly 1 million U.S. jobs have been lost to off-shoring since early 2001, with 1 in 6 of those in IT, financial services and other business services.6
* Goldman Sachs estimates that about half a million U.S. service jobs were off-shored from 2002 to 2005. The firm reports that 15,000 to 30,000 jobs monthly (manufacturing-services combined) are subject to off-shoring going forward.7
Projections of how many U.S. service sector jobs will be off-shored are chilling
* McKinsey said that 11 percent of U.S. jobs (14 million) could be off-shored in the medium-term.8
*The Progressive Policy Institute, a think-tank associated with the pro-WTO/pro-NAFTA faction of the Democratic Party, found that 12 million information-based U.S. jobs – 54 percent paying better than the median wage – are highly susceptible to off-shoring in the foreseeable future.9
*A widely-cited 2003 University of California-Berkeley study concluded that 14 million jobs with an average annual salary of almost $40,000 are vulnerable to being sent overseas.10...
Independent academic studies put the number of jobs susceptible to off-shoring much higher.
Alan S. Blinder, a former Federal Reserve vice-chairman and Princeton economics professor, says that 28 to 42 million service sector jobs (or about 2 to 3 times the total number of current U.S. manufacturing jobs) could be off-shored in the foreseeable future.16.....
Real wages for U.S. workers are flat or declining;
* U.S. real median income has actually fallen between 2000 and 200421 – roughly the period following China’s accession to the WTO.....

An interesting post an I agree on many thing of what you say, but a couple I have to add somethings.
Originally posted by galadofwarthethird
Honor is a way a life, so only when war is a way of life, is war useful and has any sort of purpose, but honor requires a strict code, and most importantly that you follow that code even if you die by that code even by your own hand. So when honor is out of the picture, and war is for profit only, it wont lead you anywhere you would want to go. So like you say when it became controlled by a uncaring and dislocated third party, it becomes insanity, and a path to hell.

Ah but power and profitability, is really the same things in many cases, so its saying the same thing to different people. After all no one go's to war if they thing that they will lose, or its not personally profitable to them, has not happened in the history of the world, except for those deceived into thinking that it would be in there interest and profitable for them, when in fact they were just being used for others profit. And profit can mean many thing, not necessarily just money.

Sheeple creation, its still about consumerism, but the system they set is one were they can always come out on top and control the consumers, the game is rigged.

It's nothing new, all powers that be were at one time or other a form of organized gang, or pirates. There are a couple of royal lines and elites who's decedent's were pirates, or drug runners, or slave runners. So really it's like pirates stealing from pirates, a banker is just a new form of piracy, so I guess that would make them royalty in the making.

I guess the Russians and there allies learned, that old line saying of "when two fight, it's usually the third that wins" It worked for many not only america, but many. It sure worked like magic for the roman generals and legions thats for sure. So much so that they eventually never went to war first unless there enemies were fighting among themselves first, both actual bloody fighting with army's among themselves, and intellectually, and causing strife within the population, I do believe they call it divide and conquer. But yes your right, whats happening today to the american infrastructure, it does bear a striking resemblance to what happened to the old USSR in the cold war.

Ya thats one of my points, this is nothing new that was invented in the last couple of years. It's been going on for a long time, the actual bloody fighting in the streets didn't just happen one day, lots of it is intentional, and planed ahead. Financial pressure is a sure fire way to get the people and governments moving to your tune.

They are not running wars, they are profiting from wars the most, and hence they want wars, and lead the sheeple to wars that are profitable to them, there is a difference, and a little difference is all it takes. You should never underestimate your enemy, but sometimes you shouldn't overestimate there actual powers, because you then underestimate your powers, thereby giving them more power and credit then they actually deserve, you are empowering them in a way. There is a actual quote about doing exactly that, by some roman general I think, but I cant think of it right now.
And also I didn't read any of those books you put up, ill keep some of them in mind next I want to read a book.
They fight piracy but then let China start there file sharing company in the US. And have the backing of JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank?
Honor is a dying art that too few know to this day.
You've never heard of me, but there's a good chance that you've read some of my work. I'm a hired gun, a doctor of everything, an academic mercenary. My customers are your students. I promise you that. Somebody in your classroom uses a service that you can't detect, that you can't defend against, that you may not even know exists.
I work at an online company that generates tens of thousands of dollars a month by creating original essays based on specific instructions provided by cheating students. I've worked there full time since 2004. On any day of the academic year, I am working on upward of 20 assignments.
In the midst of this great recession, business is booming. At busy times, during midterms and finals, my company's staff of roughly 50 writers is not large enough to satisfy the demands of students who will pay for our work and claim it as their own.
You would be amazed by the incompetence of your students' writing. I have seen the word "desperate" misspelled every way you can imagine. And these students truly are desperate. They couldn't write a convincing grocery list, yet they are in graduate school. They really need help. They need help learning and, separately, they need help passing their courses. But they aren't getting it....
