Re: <nettime> Stuxnet malware is 'weapon' out to destroy ... Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant? The Christian Science Monitor |
A thrilling story, a perfect storm for the cyber war storm chasers and funders. Odd that Russia is not named, along with the other usual suspects, the US and Israel, as a likely producer of the weapon of industrial destruction. Suspected distributor, yes, but not the maker. Somewhere a genius reverse engineer is working on a classified at birth answer to this titillating threat. Meanwhile we get the unclassified versions along with dramatic ruminations, lab rats phantasms. No way to know if any of this true as befitting the most powerful threats delivered by weapons of media consumption. Not a single proof offered for the direity. A perfect metaphysical argument for whatever stimulates fear and trembling and their hideously expensive soporifics. Now, a really horrific industrial meltdown, WMD laboratory blow-up, urban incineration, might validate the admittedly hyperbole of potential deviousness by wee thumbdrives of sneakernet -- which will have to be confiscated at choke- and checkpoints growing innumerably. Inventions for body cavity probes pouring out of garages, hot damn, to wind farm the hurricane of mandatory raping and buggery. Imagine a series of skirts for assay of privates arrayed at check-in of every public facility, penetrations by the dozen every day, a perfect Genet dreamworld. Sorry, this meanders, but you see: alarms arouse the snoring pineal gland into revenge for being disturbed. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
