Rumors of Cyber Wars

We've been aware for some time that there is a certain irritation that the controllers feel toward the onslaught of information freely passed around on the internet. A well educated populace, free to learn and share information is not easily kept within the confines of state approved societal structures. The internet, at some point, will come under direct assault by the state...and we've been hearing whispers of "cybersecurity" laws which will forever alter the freedom of speech and information on the web as we've known it.

Is Stuxnet the tool that's been built to usher in the new cyber-world order? If you haven't heard the name of the revolutionary malware worm until now...just pray it doesn't become a household name in the next few months. Stuxnet is a complex, Windows specific worm built to spy on and reprogram critical industrial computer systems. A first ever of it's type in that it has a PLC rootkit... it uses default passwords to control software.

This worm, far from being the work of a supernerd in his mother's basement...it has been estimated to have taken at least 6 months of work by a team of highly trained professionals to achieve. It required those who built it to have a working understanding of industrial computer processes and it upgrades itself even after the initial command and control server is disabled.

Stuxnet was first discovered in June by a security firm in Belarus...since then it has targeted Indonesia, India, Pakistan and most notably..Iran where it reportedly targeted their nuclear facility. Most recently it has hit in Beijing, China where it attempted to infiltrate China's key industries.

The worm was constructed for espionage and sabotage..it was clearly designed and released by a government. The question as to who is responsible has been narrowed down to two obvious choices...Israel and the United States. It has been widely claimed that it was targeting Iran specifically and that it was meant to disable their nuclear program and yet many other countries have been infiltrated by it as well. Simply collateral damage?

I don't believe so...i believe Stuxnet was created to run like a global cyber pandemic. A worm meant to hit at the most critical infrastructures of any or all nations....a very timely and convenient reason to play the "national security" card in dealing with an internet which has been, to the powers of governance, a thorn in their collective side. A perfect excuse to make it "necessary" for cybersecurity laws to be passed.

When a so-called "terrorist threat" is announced it is the historical pattern that those who pay for the threat are not those faceless foreign agents which the government names as the perpetrators..but the citizens. It will be the citizens who take the brunt of the blow if important infrastructure comes crashing down..and it will be the citizens who pay for the remedy..both literally and otherwise.

The big mouths on the internet are the problem as far as the controllers are concerned...but in reality they are also the solution to Their solution. It is with that in mind, that i run my big mouth about this issue...seeing it for what it could possibly become and hoping that enough voices have the volume, as they have in the past, to erode the confidence of those who want to silence them.

No one in this nation is not able to see the value of being able to freely state their own opinion, pass some useful information along or have confidence in the right to their own privacy. To believe that those things are not being actively demolished ,one small increment at a time, is flatly the result of willful ignorance that could cost every person who values those things for themselves..all of that and more.

We now have a "free country" with "free speech zones"...and requirements for permits in order to protest. Who can't see the irony there? Since freedom has already gone the way of the dodo on the street...the cyber frontier remains the only relatively free communication left. So far...

For the third time, a cybersecurity exercise conducted by homeland security is now underway in this country, going by the title "Cyber Storm III". If this basically constitutes battle preparations for cyberwarfare..make no mistake, we are the enemy they mean to engage.

Cyber Storm III: September 2010

Cyber Storm III builds upon the success of previous exercises; however, enhancements in the nation's cybersecurity capabilities, an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape and the increased emphasis and extent of public-private collaboration and cooperation, make Cyber Storm III unique.

* National Cyber Incident Response Plan
Cyber Storm III is the primary vehicle to exercise the newly-developed National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP)—a blueprint for cybersecurity incident response—to examine the roles, responsibilities, authorities, and other key elements of the nation's cyber incident response and management capabilities and use those findings to refine the plan.

* Increased Federal, State, International and Private Sector Participation
Administration-Wide—Seven Cabinet-level departments including Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Justice, Transportation and Treasury, in addition to the White House and representatives from the intelligence and law enforcement communities.

Eleven States—California, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, as well as the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC)—compared to nine states in Cyber Storm II.

12 International Partners—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom—compared to four international partners in Cyber Storm II.

50 Percent More Private Sector Partners—We will have 60 private sector companies playing in Cyber Storm III, up from 40 in Cyber Storm II; several will participate on-site with DHS for the first time. DHS worked with representatives from the Banking and Finance, Chemical, Communications, Dams, Defense Industrial Base, Information Technology, Nuclear, Transportation, and Water Sectors as well as the corresponding Sector Coordinating Councils and ISACs to identify private sector participants.

* National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center
Cyber Storm III will be the first opportunity to test the new National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC)—which serves as the hub of national cybersecurity coordination and was inaugurated in October of 2009.

DHS 09-28-10

"Washington, D.C. – U.S. Secret Service director Mark Sullivan addresses participants in Cyber Storm III—a three-day long, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sponsored exercise which brings together a diverse cross-section of the nation’s cyber incident responders to assess U.S. cyber response capabilities. The goal of the exercise is to examine and strengthen collective cyber preparedness and response capabilities, involving thousands of participants across government and industry."

"I find that saying something like this on a main stream news sites often falls on deaf ears. Even a friend who knew quite well of the NWO didn't believe me once I added the aliens/nephil spirits/demons and fallen watchers into the conversation. He just simply laughed and said I was crazy."

It is true that, for the most part, the world will reject what we tell them. it is yet the case that every person who now knows these things, once did not. at some time, each person who has and accepts information like this was unaware of it and did not accept it, but learned it somewhere. this being the case, it is never wholly without effect that we continue to speak so long as YHWH wills it. perhaps even if only one in many thousands will hear and consider what we have said, it is more than worth the effort.

it is the case, sometimes that one must choose carefully what information to give. not all are ready to hear all things. some have only recently come to know there is such a thing as NWO and for these, hearing information about nephilim can seem so beyond a place of their understanding that it makes them question all other things related. it is helpful to approach an individual with information which is at their specific level of being able to relate to and mentally process. it is likely,perhaps, that your friend is not an avid bible reader or has maybe never read it even once? if that is so, he has no background of understanding to begin processing information about nephilim and the place to begin is encouraging his understanding of scripture and the last days before any information of nephilim.

it is not easy to present these subjects to people, but maybe there are some helpful tactics to make it more likely to have an impact. we should not be discouraged though if some will not hear. His word has told us that His people would not be the most respected or believed in the world.

I assume that I simply tell them the truth and let YHWH do the rest. It’s just that I believe that we have now past the point of no return and everything could be completely different for atheists by this time tomorrow.

Do you have any advice?
I believe that you did indeed answer your own question: I assume that I simply tell them the truth and let YHWH do the rest.

Exactly: “And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.” John 4:37

True, a receiver of such information may not instantly understand all that they have heard, but the spoken words have been heard by the ear and are now planted in the brain, and the brain has now been prepared to receive new messages that will build on what is there.

We are charged to speak truth. How it is received is not our responsibility:

“In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

"Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: … I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:29-31, 33

If my understanding is correct this means we each have Truth within us; buried, for many of us, under years and layers of false teachings and doctrines, but there nonetheless. When more words of truth are received they will resonate with the existing Truth, sometimes instantly, other times not.

A person seeking Truth will usually readily recognize truth when it is presented; this could be true for even an unbeliever. And, an unbeliever may grasp it as truth faster than a believer, because often believers are convinced that they already know all the Truth and indeed have the correct version.

Either way, do not be discouraged. Consider the OT prophets and their struggles to obey God’s instructions which often made them appear to be buffoons, or worse, possessed.

Galatians 6 may offer some valuable insights.

hi Sam.. glad you brought up this subject.. spiritual battle - 'everyone's doing it' - right?.. whether they know it or not, and regardless of to which 'side' they're actually loyal.. sometimes i forget this fact.

it's a fact which is probably easy to remember during obvious spiritual battles, such as deliverance, where you are, without question, aware that you are actively participating in the removal of fallen spirits from a person.. but it's still a fact which also is prone to quickly slipping the mind during the seemingly more uneventful moments of every-day life.

out of 'sight' out of mind - but more and more lately i've been thinking about the fact that, even though it may not 'look like it', the truth is, during every waking moment we as believers, are involved in that spiritual battle.. not only internally, since the flesh and spirit will constantly be at odds until the flesh is without sin, but externally as well.. so i've been thinking lately about how the battlefield extends from within our own 'hearts' outward.

He commanded us to "be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" Matthew 10:6.. to "preach the Gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15.. to "love your enemies" Luke 6:27..

He tells us all this while we already have the knowledge that "the fool has said in his heart there is no God" Psalms 14:1, 53:1.. so all of this is expected of us where even atheists are concerned.

the atheist mind rejects logic, so 'reasoning' doesn't go anywhere good with one.. even if you can help them understand that we have all sinned, that every person has done at least themselves wrong at least once, and that there is no way they, on their own, can erase what they did - even then, an atheist will not accept that there is a Creator who is the Savior.

it's not only senseless to debate with an atheist.. "Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Isaiah 58: 4

it's also dangerous.. "Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers.." Romans 1:29

"abruptly or gently?".. i think, both.. perhaps tell the atheist the simple (amazing) Gospel, as soon as possible, and in love.. then let him know that you're not into debate but that if he ever wants to talk, you're available.. follow with prayer and demonstration.. pray for His intervention and live an example of Yahushua to show the atheist the fruit of those who believe on Him, who is Himself the Creator.

the atheist will probably ask some questions at some point.. "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:5,6 ".. [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15

but "..the fool hath said in his heart there is no God.."

Do Not Debate with an Atheist: "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him."
Instead Give a Solid Answer: "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit."
Proverbs 16:4,5

tell them the truth but don't try to convince them of it with words.. you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, as it's said.

and all of this going on within the realm of spiritual battle.. telling the gospel, giving answers, but not falling into vain debate.. being wise and harmless.. redeeming the time, making every moment count.. not playing ourselves or allowing ourselves to be played by the enemy, but resisting the enemy by keeping the commands of YHWH.. being sober-minded and being vigilant against our own sinful flesh.

the atheist is not the enemy.. "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood".. the fallen spirit influencing the person is the enemy "we wrestle.. against principalities.. powers.. rulers of the darkness of this world.. spiritual wickedness.." Ephesians 6:12

the only effective way to war against the enemy is to use all the weapons of spiritual battle..

Truth.. Yahushua is the Creator and the Savior and it is His Spirit who indwells the redeemed in Messiah. In Him we have forgiveness and redemption, eternal life.

Righteousness.. willing obedience to His commands, thereby demonstrating our love for Him which loved us first.

Gospel of Peace.. He laid down His life to take it again, so that we could have the choice to be redeemed in Him, because He loved us first.

Faith.. active trust in Yahushua, who will never leave nor forsake us, our deliverer and the author of our salvation.

Salvation.. the assurance of our redeemed state in Yahushua, with the forgiveness and eternal life He mercifully gives us.

Sword of the Spirit.. His Word.. not just in our hands or on our lips, but in our actions, demonstrating our love and fear of YHWH who demonstrated His love for us in Yahushua.

Prayer in the Spirit.. praying in His Holy Spirit and looking for the evidence of His answer.

{10} Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the power of His might.
{11} Put on the whole armor of Yahuwah that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
{12} For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the celestial realms.
{13} Therefore take up the whole armor of Yahuwah that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand.
{14} Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
{15} and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
{16} Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
{17} And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of Yahuwah,
{18} praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
Ephesians 6:10-18

maybe a conversation with an atheist doesn't strike most as earnest spiritual battle.. but it should.. everything we think do and feel should consciously be acknowledged as such, and given its proper treatment.. in the balance not only hangs our own place in His kingdom, but also the eternal life and death of those without Him.

one thing about the feelings.. scrutinize them as if they are domestic terrorists all your own.. the same attitude taken against the flesh (to bring it under subjugation to Messiah) should be that taken against Emotion.

"..the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.." Jeremiah 17:9

so, without deceptive emotion or vain debate, but with honest action and words of life, redeem every moment with an atheist, and pray for him also.. without trying to convince or persuade, try these things He said, then let me know how liberating it was for you.

operating within the perimeters of scriptural spiritual battle is not particularly easy, but it's worth it, and practice makes perfect.. the more, the better and easier it gets.. especially when we make our choices based upon the cause and effect of His rules of war (and peace) instead of our own understanding.

it's by this method that the enemy is weakened.. through believers' actions that glorify Yahuwah in Yahushua.. lately i've had these things on my mind.. knowing and accepting His rules, and acting rationally on them, knowing a weight is carried by each choice and action.. and knowing that emotions have no place in the decision-making.. makes it easier to carry out on a daily and even moment-to-moment basis. it's a huge freedom in this life.

you obviously share the Creator's love for His children, whether they love Him back or not, and He knows you do and what you've done to show it and He will give you strength to continue to do His will in your life and be that example to the lost and believer alike.

if it's a regular work or social thing.. talking and demonstrating the truth in love with other believers in the presence of an atheist can never hurt.. knocking off the dust after a couple warnings doesn't mean you can't be a daily living witness to the unsaved when they are already going to be around you after you've told them the gospel anyway.

listening goes a long way too.. a lovingly prepared word is easier to formulate when we've given an open ear to the real concerns of others.. easier for us to accept His word when our emotions or pride are not drowning out that 'still, small voice'

Watchers.. Nephilim.. etc.. i'd say that a little milk goes a long way in the tiny tummies of babes born new to the ideas.. the thing is, there is going to be so much deception by the enemy that "if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" Matthew 24:24 so you have to 'pick your battles'..

the first front being the Gospel witness.. a front which naturally carries more weight when grounded in strong Faith and knowledge of His Word.. and when the assault is "harmless" and fueled by real love instead of an emotional response.. break into the battle, with the weapons of spiritual warfare, sound the gospel.. and from then on engage the enemy by Yah's rules.. it is always effective, He delivers.

all of this is pretty off-topic, i know, but wanted to share stuff that has been on my mind lately, as this world continues to rush in where angels fear to tread.

"..even if only one in many thousands will hear and consider what we have said, it is more than worth the effort." Prodigal Son

[Cyprium]

Great job with this Bean..i think this pretty well sums up the way we should witness to the world.

"Watchers.. Nephilim.. etc.. i'd say that a little milk goes a long way in the tiny tummies of babes born new to the ideas.. the thing is, there is going to be so much deception by the enemy that "if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" Matthew 24:24 so you have to 'pick your battles'.."

This was a point i wanted to highlight....the Stuff That Matters..is salvation in the name of Yahushua. The most important message in the bible is also the simplest. Knowledge of nephilim and the Watchers will never save any souls..it's knowledge of Messiah that has that power and all we need to know about that are two simple things. We are sinners and He is the remedy which saves us from ourselves. It is usually a matter of rejecting accountability toward a Creator that leads an atheist to be an atheist....not a lack of rational evidence and so that is what we need to keep in mind when talking to one. Every saved individual had to, at some point, admit that they were a sinner that needed saved.
