hiya, been running around like a chook with it's head cut off so only
had time to send the URL. You should check out the articles around the
Al Qaeda article on cyber-terrorism.
It was sent to me by a friend who shares my sick sense of humor after I
sent a quote from Hegel on the human being becoming incorporeal subject.
(We both find Hegel's Phenomenology funny. I did say we have a sick
sense of humor.)
>From above URL; article 4478:
The communiqué read: "let the criminal Bush and his gang know that the
punishment is the result of the action, the soldiers of God cut the
power on these cities, they darkened the lives of the Americans as these
criminals blackened the lives of the Muslim people
And then from an earlier article 4475 which is worth checking out:
Unsettling signs of al Qaeda's aims and skills in cyberspace have led
some government experts to conclude that terrorists are at the threshold
of using the Internet as a direct instrument of bloodshed. The new
threat bears little resemblance to familiar financial disruptions by
hackers responsible for viruses and worms. It comes instead at the
meeting points of computers and the physical structures they control.
The 4475 article from the Washington Post (so it must be true) presents
a popular version of phenomenological theories of the internet which
read just like backward Hegel, only funnier still. Cyberspace as
incorporeal spirit world as a conduit of attacks on the physical world.
Gods and demons fighting it out in cyberspace and human beings suffer
for this. William Gibson and Tad Williams... laugh your hearts out!
I call this scenario, The New Human Gods, which is the title of my next
novel I am starting work on. When Brennus, the Celtic warrior, enters
Delphi and sees the new human gods, he laughs. (Fabulations.)
best wishes
Chris Jones.
