secret information regarding second internet

the government are building a second internet incase this one goes down.

not only is the second internet being built incase the first one gets attaced, infact the government plan to eventually switch everyone over to the second internet because its being built with security in mind.

the problem with the first internet is, its not very secure and from the governments point of view not very well designed for counter-terrorism eaves dropping.

new protocols and processes are being developed on the new internet which will be exclusively used by the u.s government until the roll out in 20 to 30 years time, although the u.s government will cut that public release timeline if a major breakdown of the internet occurs through cyberattacks.

in high level meetings with corporate america officials, technical details of how to let corporate security experts switch over to the highly classified second internet project in time of national emergency was disclosed.

all parties involved in talks have signed documents to stop them talking about it in pub;lic, although details of the second internet have been obtained by international hackers, who have become firmilar with the project.

documents containing the plans for the second internet were downloaded off government computer networks by underground hackers, and therefore the information regarding the second internet project have been leaked.

it is unclear how far on in development the project is, due to the papers obtained by illegal authorised entry into u.s government networks was not marked as the same time period as when the papers of the plans were obtained by the illegal means of international hackers.

in private the government are trying not to talk about cyber attacks too much so not to over talk the risk to national government and e-commerce interests, but in truth they are only too aware of the threat to their own communications and anti missle systems, therefore a second highly classified internet was advised by top level whitehosue advisors who have consulted with cyber security experts in classified meetings with government officals.

the saftey net known as the second internet may save america from certain national economic disaster and attacks to u.s army defense systems in a time of real world war when nuclear and cyber attacks are likely to happen.

Second interweb

will the second interweb also be stronger? I like how ALL of corporate America showed up for this unveiling but they signed a paper and this is what will keep them quiet... Also I like how everyone will just be "switched" over to this new set of tubes... Just send me the interweb on a 5 1/4 disk so I can keep a backup here please!

Big Brother Net

Where corporations are given full access to gouge and rape consumers and the government can easily bypass all constitutional rights to eavesdrop on citizens. All in the name of protecting us from teh evil "terrorist"

Sounds great if you are a total idiot! When will people learn that the only terrorist to worry about are politicians and CEO's.

cyberwar

Open, positive, pro-active behaviour was consistently scorned and punished by soviet era centralized government, well known for silencing opposition. On the other hand, bad news, or disinformation is abundant for the huge, "minority" language group in the baltics. Anybody wishing to learn Russian can forget about finding a pronouncing dictionary with a roman alphabet.
