The Agenda with Steve Paikin: Zbigniew Brzezinski: The New Rules of Cyber-War
The Agenda, TVO (TV Ontario) | April 9, 2013

Zbigniew Brzezinski (http://ww3.tvo.org/search/apachesolr_search/brzezinski) (http://ww3.tvo.org/search/apachesolr_search/brzezinski)

… co-chairs the Center for Strategic and International Studies Advisory Board and was National Security Adviser to former President Jimmy Carter.

Brzezinski is hyping all this fear about catastrophic hacking – cyber attacks – via the Internet.

He implies that infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber attacks, but this would depend on these installations being attached directly to the Internet, which I doubt.

He doesn’t deny the allegation (?) mentioned by the host about the U.S. government hacking the Iranian nuclear program.

By the way, that doesn’t add credibility to the U.S. government’s policies on the Internet and its desire to prevent cyber attacks.

Brzezinski describes how private technocrats run government:

“There are lots of other agendas I’m prepared to discuss with foreign policy makers.”

The main point about cyber attacks: he wants to

…find ways to very promptly identify the source of the attack …

… have to improve our ability to determine almost instantly who is the source of the attack …

Even though Brzezinski doesn’t say it explicitly, I think his fear and hype is meant to justify very tight biometric identification controls on everyone’s access to the Internet.
