THE COLA WARS HEAT UP -- COKE CANS 6,000

The article made the point that Coca Cola was part of Faction 1, the New World Order. The article listed a few companies that were part of either Faction 1 or Faction 2. Toward the bottom of the article, the following comments were made:

"IBM is in the New World Order camp

"Apple Computer was seen as a threat to IBM. The NWO sent in saboteurs to financially destroy Apple. From behind the scenes, Faction Two stepped in to help Apple.

"Rumors in the Intelligence World have said that IBM based computers and Apple computers have been programmed to wage war on each other. I know this sounds like Sci-Fi — but when it was explained in detail, it made perfect sense. Hopefully an RMNews Agent with more knowledge of this will explain it more fully.

"As I understood it, Apple computers have a line of programming that can be remotely activated. This program will send continuous email to a targeted facility. The constant stream of email — coming from all Apple computers that happen to be online at the time – will shut down the targeted facility. This has taken product sabotage of competitors to the new arena of cyber sabotage."

RMNews predicts that what we have seen with the attacks on Yahoo, Ebay, CNN and others, is just round one in a cyber war.

The media is labeling the attacks as "hacking". I believe this is not an accurate description. The computers are not being hacked, they are being "bombarded" with emails... just as was described in the article which was posted on the RMNews Forum on January 26, 2000.

In light of the ongoing cyber attacks, RMNews predicts that the old Mafia game of "protection" has been taken into a new arena. We suspect that behind the scenes and away from the media, letters of demand have already been received by major companies around the world.

If a new group of "Cyber Mafiosos", like the one from Russia who threatened several companies last year, has come on the scene, I expect these attacks are being carried out as a "shake down".... for money.

But if this is a cyber war between the two Factions, we can expect to see the stock market begin to crumble. It has already made the 10% correction from is 11700 high. How much more will it "correct" in light of the new threats from cyber attackers?

But what if this is far more sinister? What if these attacks on businesses are merely to show the United States government what can happen to all of it government institutions?

How would this type of cyper attack cripple the communications ability of our military?
