SCARY But Ignored: Terrorist Spies Successfully Infiltrated Top Classified US Cyber-Files

For years after 9/11, the U.S. did little to fight cyber-attacks by Islamic terrorists and others. For eight years, George “Faux-Counterterrorism” Bush and for nearly two years of Obama, we went through useless, incompetent cyber-terrorism officials who did nothing. For most of the last nine years after the attacks, the FBI didn’t even have e-mail, despite a bloated budget for computers and other cyber-activity. And, as I told you in March, a TSA employee was allowed to remain at his computer–and inserted a virus–after he knew his TSA employment was terminated. We simply do not take cyber-security seriously.

Last week, the story of a successful Middle Eastern invasion at the heart of our most vital online secrets came out but was largely ignored in favor of less important symbolism like the two-blocks-from-Ground-Zero mosque. I wonder–and doubt–if a single person was fired over this cyber-screw-up, which jeopardized who knows how many lives of American spies, soldiers, and other operatives. And, remember, this took place under the “counterterrorism” Prez in 2008, the same guy who did nothing but welcome Muslims to our shores for eight years and pander to them like the current guy. The attack was so serious that President Bush was briefed on it, but did little other than briefly ban the use of portable flash drives. Yeah, I’ll bet that worked (so easy to enforce, right?). But, no worries, Bush–and for a time, Obama–continued to use the same failed cybersecurity pointchick and adviser, Melissa Hathaway.

Trashing George Bush is really good work. ***eyes roll***

George “Faux-Counterterrorism” Bush

Gee whiz Debbie....remember the trouble GWB had getting the Patriot Act into law? How long did it take to tear down the wall between the FBI and CIA?

How many wannabe Euro terrorists are rotting in graves all over Iraq?

Stupid b*****.

Good work? FBI doesn't have email? All cyber security was ignored?

Ms Schlussel has been drinking the bong water again.

The Continued damaging of the USA, has been an Agenda.
Since Obama was an Illinois Senator!
Mr. Obama was the only member of the state Senate to vote against a bill to prohibit the early release of convicted criminal sexual abusers; was among only four who voted against bills to toughen criminal sentences and to increase penalties for “gangbangers” and dealers of Ecstasy; and voted “present” on a bill making it harder for abusive parents to regain custody of their children, a Washington Times review of Illinois legislative records shows.” Click here for full story: http://vitalsignsblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/barack-obamas-illinois-record.html#Highlights

Yeah, that's where I stopped. I've had email since the mid-90’s when I was stationed on an aircraft carrier! To believe that the FBI has had no email for most of the last 9 years, would, in the words of Capt Barbosa “strain credulity!”

"USB Stick May Have Contributed to Deadly Plane Crash
A corrupted USB stick contributed to Spain's worst air disaster on record,
according to a 12,000-page report cited by the Spanish newspaper El Pais and USA Today.
It was initially believed that the crash of Flight 5022 that killed 154 people in 2008
was the result of pilot error, but investigators have now concluded that
a computer infection spread through an infected USB stick may have contributed to the crash."
