To control information is the best way of getting
a society uniformed. Uniformation is the beginning of the end of life. It just
destroys diversity, which is the basis of unity and vice versa. The "bad"
is the regulating reflection and force of what is not good enough on
the other end. It has no substance. With formation of a big TM group of
10,000 people, organized from the basis of all meditators without seeing
a necessity for authorisation through MMy or his "ministers" and with
least ideology, could lead to a liberating situation, where such
"illuminative" forces would not have a real chance. This is my deepest
conviction.
It is fascinating to see how organized this new
wave of fascism is trying to get hold of the world.

> Dear friends,
>
> The highly informative BBC article below describes disturbing plans by
> the U.S. military to control the Internet. A U.S. military document
> recently uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act reveals an
> "Information Operations Roadmap" in which plans are being made based on
> the premise that the military will view the Internet "as it would an
> enemy weapons system." The document is signed by U.S. Secretary of
> Defense Donald Rumsfeld. If you care about freedom of information on
> the Internet, this is a vitally important article.
>
> A Google News search on the military's "Information Operations Roadmap"
> reveals that, of major media in the US, only the Los Angeles Times,
> Newsday, and ABC even mention the recently released "Information
> Operations Roadmap," and none of these give much detail. Why is the
> U.S. media so reluctant to report on these matters which are vital to
> the preservation of freedom of speech guaranteed in the first amendment
> of the U.S. constitution? If you care about preserving the free flow of
> information over the Internet, please spread the news about this most
> important BBC article. Together, we can and will build a brighter

> US plans to 'fight the net' revealed
>
> By Adam Brookes
> BBC Pentagon correspondent
>
> A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US
> military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological
> operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.
>
> Bloggers beware.
>
> As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military
> opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the
> modern media offer.
>
> From influencing public opinion through new media to designing
> "computer network attack" weapons, the US military is learning to fight
> an electronic war.
>
> The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap".
> It was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington
> University using the Freedom of Information Act.
>
> Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense,
> Donald Rumsfeld, signed it.
>
> The "roadmap" calls for a far-reaching overhaul of the military's
> ability to conduct information operations and electronic warfare. And,
> in some detail, it makes recommendations for how the US armed forces
> should think about this new, virtual warfare.
>
> The document says that information is "critical to military success".
> Computer and telecommunications networks are of vital operational
> importance.
>
> Propaganda
>
> The operations described in the document include a surprising range of
> military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists,
> psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and
> beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to
> destroy enemy networks.
>
> All these are engaged in information operations.
>
> Perhaps the most startling aspect of the roadmap is its acknowledgement
> that information put out as part of the military's psychological
> operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and
> television screens of ordinary Americans.
>
> "Information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy
> and Psyops, is increasingly consumed by our domestic audience," it
> reads.
>
> "Psyops messages will often be replayed by the news media for much
> larger audiences, including the American public," it goes on.
>
> The document's authors acknowledge that American news media should not
> unwittingly broadcast military propaganda. "Specific boundaries should
> be established," they write. But they don't seem to explain how.
>
> "In this day and age it is impossible to prevent stories that are fed
> abroad as part of psychological operations propaganda from blowing back
> into the United States - even though they were directed abroad," says
> Kristin Adair of the National Security Archive.
>
> Credibility problem
>
> Public awareness of the US military's information operations is low,
> but it's growing - thanks to some operational clumsiness.
>
> Late last year, it emerged that the Pentagon had paid a private
> company, the Lincoln Group, to plant hundreds of stories in Iraqi
> newspapers. The stories - all supportive of US policy - were written by
> military personnel and then placed in Iraqi publications.
>
> And websites that appeared to be information sites on the politics of
> Africa and the Balkans were found to be run by the Pentagon.
>
> But the true extent of the Pentagon's information operations, how they
> work, who they're aimed at, and at what point they turn from informing
> the public to influencing populations, is far from clear.
>
> The roadmap, however, gives a flavour of what the US military is up to
> - and the grand scale on which it's thinking.
>
> It reveals that Psyops personnel "support" the American government's
> international broadcasting. It singles out TV Marti - a station which
> broadcasts to Cuba - as receiving such support.
>
> It recommends that a global website be established that supports
> America's strategic objectives. But no American diplomats here, thank
> you. The website would use content from "third parties with greater
> credibility to foreign audiences than US officials".
>
> It also recommends that Psyops personnel should consider a range of
> technologies to disseminate propaganda in enemy territory: unmanned
> aerial vehicles, "miniaturized, scatterable public address systems",
> wireless devices, cellular phones and the internet.
>
> 'Fight the net'
>
> When it describes plans for electronic warfare, or EW, the document
> takes on an extraordinary tone.
>
> It seems to see the internet as being equivalent to an enemy weapons
> system.
>
> "Strategy should be based on the premise that the Department [of
> Defense] will 'fight the net' as it would an enemy weapons system," it
> reads.
>
> The slogan "fight the net" appears several times throughout the roadmap.
>
> The authors warn that US networks are very vulnerable to attack by
> hackers, enemies seeking to disable them, or spies looking for
> intelligence.
>
> "Networks are growing faster than we can defend them... Attack
> sophistication is increasing... Number of events is increasing."
>
> US digital ambition
>
> And, in a grand finale, the document recommends that the United States
> should seek the ability to "provide maximum control of the entire
> electromagnetic spectrum".
>
> US forces should be able to "disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of
> globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems
> dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum".
>
> Consider that for a moment.
>
> The US military seeks the capability to knock out every telephone,
> every networked computer, every radar system on the planet.
>
> Are these plans the pipe dreams of self-aggrandising bureaucrats? Or
> are they real?
>
> The fact that the "Information Operations Roadmap" is approved by the
> Secretary of Defense suggests that these plans are taken very seriously
> indeed in the Pentagon.
>
> And that the scale and grandeur of the digital revolution is matched
> only by the US military's ambitions for it.
