Cyber
Warfare - A technology Trillion Dollar Shot in the Arm
By
Bill
Glynn
Big
business is at war with a new cyber army. It has deployed its troops into the
new world, a new frontier, and even nation states have joined in with massive
efforts to hobble global commerce, specifically in the West. Sony, Target and
even the Defense Department, among many others, are under siege. It has only
just begun. The culprits are North Korea, China, Russia, Iran and now even
ISIS. The fact is there are land laws, maritime laws, air and space laws, but
the new frontier, cyber, is yet to be governed by similar standards and
government rules of engagement around the world. The U.S. has extremely robust
capabilities, both offensive and defensive, but critical infrastructure, power
grids, nuclear, transportation and a multi-trillion dollar electronic business
- from online business to banks and Wall Street - are woefully underprepared. 9/11,
as terrible as that was, may pale in comparison to the global economic
disruption that is coming to our shores anywhere and everywhere on the planet.

It’s
Time for the Oil Industry to Plan its Exit Strategy
After
steadily increasing to recent highs, the price of oil has been dropping
dramatically in the past six to eight months as worldwide oil production
reaches its own highs. Americans refuse to cut back on production because they
are supporting job creation, which is a good enough reason for most. Saudis are
not cutting production because they could care less what happens to America or
the rest of the world. This phenomenon, in part, leads to a surplus in the
American market which is contributing to the creation of a massive ripple
effect on the underlying oil commodity market. Part of the money making ability
of companies in the oil and gas Industry is directly correlated with the price
of their particular type of oil. [more...]
Media's
Confusing Messages
By Bill Tatro
"U.S.
Retail Drops the Most Since 2012" ... "Holiday Sales Rise the Most
Since 2011" ... huh? A bit
confusing wouldn’t you say? But those were the headlines that greeted me with
my morning coffee. I assumed that the decline imbedded in the first headline
was due to a decrease in gasoline sales. While sales volume is probably the
same, it was just the price that dropped by 40%. I was correct, but I was
also a bit surprised to learn that miscellaneous store retailers, electronics,
appliances, clothing, sporting goods, books, music and department stores all
went negative. [more...]
Bush was 100% Right After 9/11
Fourteen
years after 9/11, it is tragically clear that President Bush was right about
the threat we faced and Democrats are suicidally wrong. The 9/11 attacks were
indeed a salvo in the war Islamists have declared on us but even now, all these
years later, Democrats still want to regard such attacks as acts of individual
criminality, and deal with them through the legal justice system, affording
American rights to those who want to destroy American rights. Why, you
may ask yourself, is the Boston Marathon bomber going to be tried in a criminal
court of law, where he will be able to make propaganda for his cause
underwritten by his victims? Because Democrats want it that way. It shows
we're superior to everybody else. [more...]
