This is NO DRILL. THIS is NO DRILL.

Suggest sending this article's URL as well as the prior one on OpenDNS filtering (see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/07/opendns_conficker_protection/) to every goggy-eyed dumbshit desktop-operating "VIRUS ALERT" email-sender known to Man. Just did that for one such party found a-forwardin' such trashola here in-house. Mebbe with a leetle more thoughtful public cooperation we might lend a hand a-stompin' the thang dead, one supposes.

Not that I am opposed to non-arrest policies where non-violent non-victimhood involving harmless tho' State-disapproved botanical materials and the like is concerned, of course. Ditto for non-moving City tickets. But that Court System is only a small part of the social safety network that Conficker puts at direct knockout risk... Oi veh yi crikey GAH!

Gee. Cheney, Perle and their entire filthy double-minded NeoCon Fat Bastard Devil Chorus are all *still* out to "drown the baby [of decent non-profit Constitution-based American government] in the bathtub", thus making more room for many, many more of their own "principles-driven" lawless grab-the-money fsck-the-poor NuLaborite ilk. So one must ask from a Complex Social Systems Analysis POV: "Is that possible connection from known destructors to known destruction actually Just Too Much Tinfoil, even at all?"

Not necessarily, this one finds. You decide too.

Smells just like another semi-controlled and highly systematic criminal Meal of Demolition with Hegelian Dialectic overtones for a bitter dessert, yes it does from here. What with the USDoD since roughly halfway into Iraq officially treating the Internet and All of Us who USE IT as The Enemy of FREEDOM®, what more efficiently deniable manner of destruction might there ever be to US social safety-net systems than this very manner of deniable assault? Just to "pull the plug" on the Internet as we know it would not fly even half so well; we all know that.

Only thing missing is the "Acts of Ghawd and Terrorism" clause in the Internet's Non-Existent Insurance Policy. No "Lucky Larry" Silverstein to collect big buck-a-dingdongs on the Internet's ever being murdered - or IS there such an one with a pocket full o' Internet-hostile 'n' uber-toxic Collateralized Debt Obligation derivative paper lurking in our midst, Hell-bent on making money on the forced disaster, No Matter The Cost?

Two words: "Twelve Monkeys". Worth renting in this context. A Bad Man, a Big Plan, a wee cheap 'n' 'armless USB stick, a non-attended Federal Dilbert Cube... Plenty of all the above for all to combine at leisure. Just pick your department and here we go again!

Then hey presto oopsie oh well Just Get Over It goes the soft-shoe soft-soap greasy-heeled USDC Jurisdiction's PR shuffle. But there amid the media lies goes all our elder folks' Social Security off to Wall Street (If that) "at last!" per Karl Rove's public declaration, and we all have by then just been given one more bit of a drowned baby for the knacker's lot... Such a gift as this manner of giving always gives, we know from Recent History, oh yes we do!

Fact: The Mayan calendar's 2012 endpoint now seems more convincing every day. But The Boffin with a broad-based brief under his arm, it shall be today. I'd go with the Black Helicopter, but I for one am quite sure that there has been far too much of that precise sort of Disaster Capitalism-driven systems demolition as mentioned above done already of recent years for that one to fly much longer.
