Information Awareness and Electronic Civilization Grid Defense System
Most people do not want the government intruding in their lives. They do not wish to have the government listening to their phone calls, knowing their locations or watching their every move. Sure that makes sense but that is not actually how it works. No one has time to watch you pick-up your kid's from Karate Practice. Rather it is a safety system, a net if you will and if something goes down. If your child is abducted or Al Qaeda Terrorists try to pull some shenanigans then you will be very glad to see this is in place.
It is a lot like Zone Defense in basketball, law enforcement or outlining threat assessment in the modern net-centric battlespace. The question is; Do you want to Win or are you willing to accept a "Sneak Attack" because even if an attack only gets a few thousand people in the United States, if we attack back it saves the world millions of lives on a second reciprocal response. And it saves us on the political or mass media fall-out from a pre-emption. So with a system in place you can cut out the cancer, before it gets growing. You see?
Those who condemn such have other thoughts on grounds of liberty, constitutionality and such they need to recall some recent Supreme Court cases and the right to privacy again? The government won the last case, it is all legal and you are not granted the right to security of data from a third party.
You use an internet provider, ISP, company to rent a car, fly a plane, credit card, etc? That information is not guaranteed protected? You want to take a magazine or fill out a form? Once you do all bets are off says the Supreme Court. So, if someone really has a problem with that, they need to take it up there. A case like that would cost 500,000 K minimum to hear and you might not like the results you hear when you are through or someone once said.
I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple, to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Teens: Life v. Electronics
Teens today have so much more to distract them besides their homework, the opposite sex, friends, family members, and extracurricular activities. Besides learning how to drive, teenagers are occupied with playing with an assortment of electronic gizmos including cell phones, camera phones, personal computers, MP3 players, DVD players, ipods, xboxs, digital cameras, the list goes on. Wired? You betcha…and then some. Perhaps all of this electronic gadgetry has you concerned and you are wondering just how you can extract your teen and involve them in an outside activity where they can expand their minds and refresh their bodies. Are you out of ideas? Let’s look at some options that may appeal to them and remove the worry from you.
Work on the Car So, you think that a car isn’t a kid magnet as much as when you first learned how to drive? Think again. Today, kids are pimping their rides and expressing themselves through their cars. Custom paint, decals, blacked out windows, even faux aircraft wings are being attached to the outside of their cars. On the inside, it can be totally surreal: rear view mirrors wrapped with a studded belts, frilly seat cover trim, pushpin art attached to the headliner, decals everywhere, etc. Let them pimp your Camry or Explorer…that’ll keep them off the computer…and get you noticed too!
Volunteer Help your teen organize a group of his or her friends to clean up the neighborhood, paint an elderly neighbor’s house, teach younger kids how to ride bikes, or visit folks at the local nursing home. You remember when you were a teen and you heard the comments from your parent’s generation about kids not wanting to do anything or being “no good,” right? With a little direction, young people can do just about anything and are more than willing to help out if you believe in them. Rewards are nice too…be prepared to throw a pizza party after their time of service is over for the day.
Get a Job Kids who hold a job while going to school learn how to handle their money and budget their time. Limit work hours to fewer than 20 per week to ensure that their grades are not adversely affected. If your student is involved in extracurricular activities too, make sure that this time is included with the hours that they work. Maintaining good grades is essential, no job or outside activity is worth it if it takes away from their schooling.
In all cases, show your teen that you believe in him or her. As you know, parenting is much more than providing for their needs…you want to guide your child from youth toward adulthood by showing them that there is much more to life than all things electronic. So, gently disconnect your teen and get them involved with other pursuits.

US Military Electronic Attack Robust Systems for Warfare
When the United States Military plans an air-strike it plays tough and Electronic Attack is something that the United States is best at, as they come to win and set up the modern net-centric battle space. Anyone who is foolish enough to doubt the ominous ability of the greatest strategists in the world to get the job done, is so caught up in their own rhetoric that they will fall harder and have their optimistic exuberance crushed to the ground and thus their will to fight will turn to a short-term bewilderment until their last breath and the heat of a 1000 Suns during that split second of evaporation.
For over a week now I have been trying to re-write that sentence and I just can't, it must stand the way it is because that is the truth. Indeed that sentence is part of a book I am writing now? Maybe a few modifications, but essentially well, that's it really?
When people talk about the anti-aircraft weapons that Iran has, which they were sold by the Russians and Chinese, one must also consider that those are not of the same modern up to date generations of weapons technologies of the US Military. Actually they are not even close. As Iran continues to build nuclear weapons which will most likely end up in the hands of International Terrorists, the World must do something.
Even as the Iranian President threatens to blow Israel off the map, it is widely thought that Iran is un-defendable and currently surrounded. In fact its only main ally, Syria is a few minutes flight from Israel, ain't no one coming to their aid. We should be concerned with nuclear weapons in such nation-states and even more so in the hands of international terrorists too.
I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
