Ask HN: Who Does a Cyberwar Escalation/False-Flag-Op Benefit?
Possibly something much more frightening and heinous.
Rather, "follow the money", this new kind of war's required budgets, now even more centralized and higher-tech than Wall Street or Silicon Valley, more remote and alien `mathematical', `quant'; more pure-and-applied `mathematics-weaponized' focused, this new defense budget, will be handled and directed by these re-employed ex-NSA elite.
Who is going to fight a Cyberwar? Not the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force. It will be a relatively tiny nos of techs in these Maryland corridors of security/intel-tech corporate parks leading into Fort Meade, with ex-NSA civilians pulling down exec salararies wearing their valuable rare and tightly controlled security clearance badge necklaces.
If the above scenerio is true, this appears quite the nightmare. Prersident Bush was cognitively bovine though recognizably human. These state sanctioned and security cleared career criminals are way smarter, amoral, and frighteningly alien.
If you've the free time, see this (longish 1:27:34) Youtube video of William Binney, harassed and heroic NSA whistleblower, describing huge corporate-intelligence-complex expansion, internal Machivellian selfish intrique, and corrupt revolving door entanglement of NSA active careers into lucrative re-hired retirees.
