Here's another one. Hot Air reports that last week, Barack Obama announced the creation of a cyber security czar, giving his administration more czars than the Russian Empire, but that’s another issue altogether.  In order to convince Americans of the necessity of such a position, Obama gave us this dire scenario in his speech:

"In short, America’s economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity."

"And this is also a matter of public safety and national security. We count on computer networks to deliver our oil and gas, our power and our water.  We rely on them for public transportation and air traffic control.  Yet we know that cyber intruders have probed our electrical grid and that in other countries cyber attacks have plunged entire cities into darkness."

Rob Rosenberger at Vmyths, a site dedicated to debunking urban legends about cyberspace, said, that he, and other experts, bashed this urban legend more than a year ago.  Now, Obama is spouting it as if it’s a fact.

Rosenberger says Obama has basically told a boogeyman story:

This report is an urban legend because no one knows any details whatsoever.  To be specific:

•  Who plunged entire cities into darkness with the click of a mouse?  No one knows.
•  When did these cyber-terrorists plunge entire cities into darkness with the click of a mouse?  No one knows.
•  Where are these cities that plunged into darkness with the click of a mouse?  No one knows.
•  Why did the cyber-terrorists plunge these cities into darkness with the click of a mouse?  No one knows.
•  How widespread were these cyber-terror blackouts?  No one knows.
•  Whose power grid Internet connection did the cyber-terrorists exploit?  No one knows.
•  How many victims perished in these cyber-attacks?  No one knows.

As per their usual, democrats are whining about cyber attack and purposely burying the fact that EMP can do what this lie purports. In fact, the great blackout of the Northeast was the result of an EMP the sun accomplished. Ahh, but power and control over the sheeple is what the democrats are all about, not the truth, just the triggers.
