For years privacy advocates have been pushing against the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which eliminates all privacy protections on the sharing of private information so long as it is done for “cybersecurity purposes.”
CISPA has failed in the past, but is back again, with Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D – MD), it’s longtime advocate, reintroducing it and citing the hack of Sony Pictures, putatively by North Korea, as justification for new powers.
The NSA is understandably all over this as well, since it will give the companies it works with carte blanche to share data with them without legal ramifications so long as they can play the cybersecurity card.
It is the eagerness for government agencies to get these new powers and access to information that is likely informing their decision to blame North Korea for the Sony hack, as a foreign attack would be a far better sell for granting them new powers than the likely facts, that Sony was attacked by a disgruntled former employee and a handful of other hackers.
So, is this scenario a false flag attack? The NSA knows that the cyberattack on Sony was initiated by disgruntled employees. The NSA provided support, assistance and cover for the attack and observed and recorded it from beginning to end. The NSA ignoring its constitutional function allowed the attack to proceed. The NSA by virtue of its ubiquitous spying is in a position to exonerate the government of Korea which has been accused, is being held responsible and is being punished for the cyberattack. And, as it turns out the cyberattack that it allowed to occur is being used by the NSA to justify legalization and massive expansion of formerly illegal domestic spying so that personal information and business traffic in data and ideas can be shared and exploited by US spying allies Israel, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ. So, at least it’s not the Russians getting to exploit all the US personal and business information cause the UK, Canada, Israel, Australia and NZ are more trustworthy than all the honest US agencies!

In this world, false flag attacks are no longer even needed. You just scan the newspapers, then attack your agenda to some random and slightly remarkable event with the most discombobulated logic possible. Journalists and congresscretins line up in an abject show of lack of brains. Money flows from the future taxpayer into your personal empire. Rinse, repeat.
THUMBS UP

False flags are always used as justification for war and more power. That's why governments have been doing this since the begin of human civilization.
So now we know why the FBI was blaming the Sony incident on North Korea even while being told by security experts across the nation that it wasn’t. It was all so they could push this bill and Congress would have an excuse to pass it
The corporate rich created Empire USA to be a rich man’s paradise and have always given their beloved government every mater, fact and thing that they knew about the general public. For corporations fear above all things that the terrorist threat will enlighten society that the blowback against corporate greed is the root cause of all such violence.
So, comes now this grand illusion that government is demanding more information, when in fact it has for over 50 years had the information. All to keep the public terrified and in fearful submission to authority.
“German Muslims Denounce Paris Attack as Abuse of the Religion of Peace”
Now I ‘m a pacifist who finds most criminal and immoral such violence, but, pure Western propaganda is the above news headline as it tries to put the blame on the moral character of those who commit such vengeance driven violence, in effect claiming that the root cause of such terrorism is not the brutal imperialism of Western wars of aggression.
So, as an experiment let us remove all Western troops from the Middle-East and stop supporting any dictator striving to enslave people in the Middle-East — and then see what happens.
so what is "cyber security" purposes ?
Apparently , by NSA's past history of creative interpertation, cybersecurity is anything they dang well feel like calling cyber security.
Rendering this bill a "gimma all you're data and I'll do whatever the heck i feel like with it". bill.
Do you really want do do that ? hmmm….
