I can see the bad guys arranging for a devastating cyber-attack and then claiming someone else did it.

But their is no way to fake a natural disaster.

The writing suggests that the tone Napolitano is taking is on e of 'eventuality' and not 'imminence'. Sounds more like she is stating the obvious -- that a cyber attack will someday occur, and so will a large natural disaster.

My personal fear for the drop-dead-moment will be when America can no longer pay its bills. That day is likely before Obama's second term concludes.

Not to worry. Totalitarian Government will protect you. Just give up all control and do as you are told.

It doesn’t always happen that way.

Sometimes the plywood snaps...

It’s why the rush to smart grid. Makes it easier for the globalist thugs to take us down. And massively depopulate the US in one swoop.

Forget Kabuki theatre....this administration is turning into Firesign Theater...

"All of us want to know, just as much as I want to know, who's responsible!"

"And until we do, I must make my dirty... er... duty clean... clear. (Ahem). And announce the suspendering of the upcoming graduation exercises which cannot... and will... which aren't taking place"

"But don't worry, don't worry. Your food, housing, insecurity will be guaranteed by your Department of Redundancy Department and the Natural Guard"

"And remember — trusswrappers will be persecuted"

"So please, stay where you are"

"Don't panic"

"Don't take off your shoes"

"Jobs is on the way!"

>> A massive and “serious” cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming

You mean, like some scary government entity with a fat i-pipe and big honkin’ database reading all our email and credit card statements?

Please, Ms. Government, PROTECT us from this evil!

The outgoing Homeland Security Secretary has a warning for her successor: A massive and “serious” cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster — the likes of which the nation has never seen — is also likely on its way.

Ok, now I understand.

Our beautiful country was turned into a third world creepy police state because the witch was 'protecting' us from - ummm - a 'natural disaster'. Or... maybe a cyber attack? And Janet couldn't do that without peeking into our private lives and stock piling enough weapons and lies to kill us many times over...

Yep, I buy that justification../s

Maybe the creepy control freaks who like to snoop into people's bedrooms and check out ex-lovers at the NSA, FBI and IRS bought into this bullsh*t too.. It would explain a lot.

Yup.

It also really is what I think the government would do if such a thing really were on the near horizon. Heck, it’s what I would do if the decision was mine.

One of the most “interesting” aspects of a collapse of the grid and the computer networks is that we will lose almost all comms, so we won’t even know for sure if it was a cyber attack, a solar flare, or some cascading tech glitch. We might wake up in the dark, and never know what exactly caused it.
