"NSA Recruits Hackers" "FBI Enlists Hackers help�� ۳ in digital sting", etc...etc...And if you've happen to notice, this type�� ۳ of activity and newsprint is becoming much more common place today. �� ۳ Could this be because the NSA & FBI (Along with several other agencies) �� ۳ doesn't have the technical skillz necessary to combat Cyber-Crime, and/ �� ۳ or Cyber-Terrorism? Even with all there vast funding and expertise, do �� ۳ they really need the help of hackers? HARDLY! These agencies recruit �� ۳ degreed Computer Professionals from within corporate private sectors �� ۳ and Universities, not some high school midnight Hackers! It's not the �� ۳ Technical aspect of the Feds troubles that is the problem there facing. �� ۳ There Problems are in the sheer numbers of net citizens and Hackers that�� ۳ are not willing to submit to there control and intrusions. You see, it's�� ۳ not about recruiting hackers to aid the battle on cyber-crime. It's all �� ۳ about control. Hackers are being used by government agencies all right, �� ۳ but is it for the purpose that is being claimed? Or is it possible that �� ۳ this is only the beginning of a governmental plan that runs much deeper �� ۳ then what is only visible at the surface level. And the Hackers that are�� ۳ involved - "all pawns in the game". The game of "Divide & Conquer"... �� ۳ �� ۳ This article "Divide & Conquer" is written exclusively for the TEOAS �� ۳ publication by "�ilentwing�" BS in psychology, statistician and Cultural�� ۳ researcher with many years experience in the above & related fields.

As technological advances �� ۳ are becoming more prevalent at an alarmingly fast pace, many of us fall �� ۳ by the wayside trying to understand and keep up with those advances. �� ۳ Those with a natural aptitude are far fewer than those of us who have to�� ۳ struggle through the implications of the technology which has become a �� ۳ part of the lives of so many. A new world order is evolving right before�� ۳ us and many panic from the implications of that, especially governments �� ۳ who see their lack of control over this new order as a threat to their �� ۳ own powers. �� ۳ �� ۳ One way governments can try to maintain control is to gain the knowledge�� ۳ for themselves and compete for supremacy. One way to gain such knowledge�� ۳ is to recruit from among the very people they villify as dissidents, �� ۳ namely script kiddies and hackers. Those who can be bought are bought �� ۳ while the rest are labeled as anti-government and criminals. Okay, so a �� ۳ hacker can find security holes in Os's and applications that most of us �� ۳ use on a daily basis. So what... If their purpose was to snoop into �� ۳ systems why tell about the security breaches that are found? Would you �� ۳ rather not know who's snooping or could be snooping around in your �� ۳ system? Invasion of privacy? What privacy? There is none and never has �� ۳ been. That's an illusion that most of us prefer to live with. Your next �� ۳ door neighbor probably knows as much about you as you do yourself. And I�� ۳ bet he didn't have to find a security hole in your applications to know �� ۳ it, either. People tend to forget that if you don't want something to be�� ۳ known about yourself, then the subject matter is best left unsaid to �� ۳ begin with... because regardless of the medium used to say it, someone �� ۳ will always know. �� ۳ �� ۳ Humans are social animals and cannot survive well in isolation. The �� ۳ script kiddies of today are no different from the young adolescents who �� ۳ used to peep into girls' windows in the middle of the night, or write �� ۳ graffitti on walls making a statement of their own, usually to bring �� ۳ notice to themselves in a world that doesn't spend much time thinking of�� ۳ kids as people, too. "All the world's a stage".. William Shakespeare. In�� ۳ truth today, all the world is a stage as technology has delivered it �� ۳ into the hands of the masses. �� ۳ �� ۳ So, why the governmental interference and the ongoing fight for free �� ۳ speech and the advancement of knowledge? Because the government wants �� ۳ and must maintain control in order to survive itself. Freedom of speech �� ۳ itself is an illusion that most journalists have been trying to make a �� ۳ reality for centuries. As an example, Kennedy vs. Clinton. What's the �� ۳ difference? (okay, so Monica Lewinski isn't a Marilyn Monroe). The point�� ۳ is one made media headlines while the other did very little except raise�� ۳ a few eyebrows from time to time, neither of which incident would have �� ۳ any bearing on whether either was capable of leading a nation, but in �� ۳ the most recent case it did accomplish something: a division within the �� ۳ ranks of a political party. The story was 'allowed' to become public �� ۳ knowledge and fanned flames of outrage throughout the nation within some�� ۳ parts of society, while other parts did little more than raise an �� ۳ eyebrow from time to time. But the division gave another political �� ۳ faction more power. �� ۳ �� ۳ The word hacker according to the dictionary basically means a tinkerer �� ۳ or someone who tinkers. The dictionary doesn't specify a certain thing �� ۳ a hacker tinkers with. By that definition, many of us in the general �� ۳ population could be called hackers. The word has become a negative label�� ۳ for a group of tinkerers who happen to be very good at tinkering with �� ۳ something the general population has little or no knowledge about... �� ۳ : computers. The word hacker engenders in most people's minds with the �� ۳ picture of someone sitting in a darkened room nosying around on the net,�� ۳ writing out code to breach the security of countless computers for �� ۳ nefarious purposes, be it corporate espionage, snooping in someone's �� ۳ email or whatever. Granted, hackers can do that and more.... but as in �� ۳ one of my opening statements, so what? Just because you can do something�� ۳ doesn't mean you will or should. It's a matter of choice. Hackers are as�� ۳ much a part of society as any other culture. They have the knowledge �� ۳ that government wants, to preserve a way of life that is dying. The �� ۳ governments want control and have none. The media has become little more�� ۳ than a governmental ragbag to cut off the very people who could advance �� ۳ that knowledge. Very seldom do you see an article about what the culture�� ۳ has done that has advanced knowledge and when there is such an article �� ۳ it is placed in such a way that it receives very little notice from the �� ۳ general population. �� ۳ �� ۳ Such is the way of politics.... divide and conquer. The divisions within�� ۳ the culture itself are a threat as differences in philosophies among the�� ۳ leaders create gaps in the sharing of knowledge while garnering power to�� ۳ each faction for an intercultural war. The only thing left for the �� ۳ governments to do will be to monitor the war from the outside and woo �� ۳ contenders with promises of wealth and power, while those who don't �� ۳ "sell out" are labeled dissidents and criminals. The dissidents and �� ۳ criminals (usually the notorious script kiddies) are used to fan public �� ۳ outrage and fear. As public outrage and fear escalates, lines are drawn �� ۳ in the proverbial sand as factions form to compete with each other for �� ۳ supremacy. �� ۳ �� ۳ Remember your history lessons... Lincoln once stated that a divided �� ۳ nation cannot stand. How so can anything stand divided against itself? �� ۳ A culture divided becomes a dead culture. There will always be hackers �� ۳ in one form or another, hiding out in the darkened rooms for fear of �� ۳ discovery, but will the culture itself survive? If so, how will it �� ۳ survive? �� ۳ �� ۳ This author writes from a personal perspective based on conclusions �� ۳ drawn from psychological, sociological, scientific, and historical �� ۳ research. None of the views contained within the article can be �� ۳ attributed to any one piece of research but are a composite of the �� ۳ writer's own worldview. �� ۳ �� ۳ �ilentwing� �� ۳ �� ��������������������������������������������������������������������������Ĵ� %%T%%%H%%%E%%%%%%%%E%%%Y%%%E%%%%%%%%O%%%F%%%%%%%%A%%%%%%%%S%%%T%%%O%%%R%%%M%% ۳������������������������������������������������������������������������۳� ۳ �� ۳ SO WHO DO YOU WANT TO ROOT TODAY?
