The Ghost in the Machine

The Stuxnet virus, which plagued Iranian nuclear centrifuges and set the program back by at least months, if not a year has been found to have been created and released by the US and Israel. 

(Jumping up and shouting)

I had a feeling when it happened that it was not a bunch of "Gen Z" hackers in California playing around.  Now it seems confirmed that this was a highly organized and carefully planned attack against the Shia regime in Iran exclusively.  Not to say that the virus could not be used at other facilities, or modified slightly to infect other similar types of operations, but the main target was Iran.

The ability of US intelligence groups, working together with Israel and the Moussad to pre-emptively strike our enemies and take away their ability to wage war in the name of Allah is a very good thing.  We need to support these covert operations and tell our administration to keep the pressure on.

I believe, despite our best efforts, that with the multi-kulti groupthink permeating our socxiety and culture, we are doomed to having to deal with a nuclear Iran and the Shia theology which demands the next apocalypse, in order to bring about the 12th mahdi, or leader of Islam and Muslims and the next Islamic caliphate.  A nuclear detonation over Tel-Aviv would certainly do the trick, dragging the world into a conflagration of Biblical proportions.

The Stuxnet virus may have been found and rendered inactive before it could do any major damage, but the ability of our intelligence community to work jointly with Israel, Britain or any other Western power in taking down one of the worst oppressors of human rights is heartening and welcome in the fight against Islamists and jihadists.

Stuxnet: Cyber attack on Iran 'was carried out by Western powers and Israel'

The Stuxnet computer virus, created to sabotage Iran's nuclear programme, was the result of collaboration between at least one Western power and the Israeli secret service, a British cyber security expert has found.

Tom Parker, a US-based security researcher who specialises in tracing cyber attacks, has spent months analysing the Stuxnet code and has found evidence that the virus was created by two separate organisations. The hard forensic evidence supports the reported claims of intelligence sources that it was a joint, two step operation.

"It was most likely developed by a Western power, and they most likely provided it to a secondary power which completed the effort," he told The Daily Telegraph.

The malicious software, first detected in June last year, was almost certainly designed to make damaging, surreptitious adjustments to the centrifuges used at Natanz, Iran's uranium enrichment site. While he downplayed its impact, the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has confirmed Stuxnet set back his nuclear ambitions.

Separate investigations by US nuclear experts have discovered that Stuxnet worked by increasing the speed of uranium centrifuges to (the)breaking point for short periods. At the same time it shut off safety monitoring systems, hoodwinking operators that all was normal.

This sounds like we are practicing Muhammads advice that "War is deceit"
