The Americans have been very successful in controlling and ruling the world with its anti terrorism strategy to gain acceptance and compliance. The idea is nothing ingenious or clever, very basic, and is successful for many reasons. Applying threat and coercion, bribing of corrupt national leaders and also the complicity of pro western elites that believe everything white is good. They happily embraced all the American lies as truth.
The American propaganda machine simply broadcasts daily about threats from this country or that country by slanders, defamation and lies. When there are willing listeners and brain dead pro western elites, there is no need for proof or evidence. What the American media said is good enough proof. And when evidence is lacking, the American terrorists simply supply the terrorists to do the damage. Out of the blue, a strange new terrorist group will be created and commit some terrorist crimes. The American media or so called intelligence sources would immediately come up with a new name for the group. QED. And the suckers would simply go along without wanting to know who is behind the terrorists.
In a way, the old method of killing the messenger is a good way to stop such fabricated terrorism. The messenger is sent by the terrorists and often is a member of the terrorist organisation to deceive the intended victim.
The same methodology is applied in cyber warfare, or cyber terrorism. Like the seller of antivirus products, the terrorists would create the virus, spread the virus, then show them to the users, see, this is the virus, and they have the antidote, the antivirus software, to kill the virus. Deal done, money in the pocket.
Cyber terrorism is not far from this. The cyber terrorists would do the attacks or set up terrorist cells to do the attack. Then they will use the attack as evidence to show the targeted parties that they have been attacked with their fabricated proof. It sure looks very genuine. And like all things in cyberspace, who is able to track down the source of the attack? The Americans or any country can launch an attack and leave traces pointing to China. The gullible or willing accomplice will then tell the world it is China. The attackers or terrorists could be the one standing right in front of the listener, and offering to provide the assistance needed, at a price of course. Any unwary or unsuspecting targeted client, especially those that are not well versed in cyber warfare or IT would easily be convinced and fell prey to such scams.
For corporate clients that ended up being suckers to such cyber scams and pay the scammers for their aid packages, like buying antivirus solutions from the people creating the virus, the loss could be just monetary. For a nation state, falling into such silly traps, without killing the messengers, would compromise the security of the nation by inviting the terrorists into their ministries and opening the doors for them to access their security networks. Such cheap tricks would work on simple minds and willing minds that are already sold before even the terrorists come a calling.
When the American terrorists come calling and claimed that there is such a threat, be very sure that they are behind it. This is their SOP. Just like the Americans accusing China of fake genocide in Xinjiang when the Americans are committing genocide daily in Gaza. No one would condemn the daily genocide but would condemn minor attacks by the freedom fighters.
Beware, do not be duped by snake oil salesmen.
