Irish government collapses – calls for new election

The Irish Government collapsed yesterday, with multiple ministerial resignations propelling Prime Minister Brian Cowen into setting 11 March as the date for a general election.

His Fianna Fail party, which dominates the government has traditionally been the the largest political party in Ireland but has dropped to 13 percent approval rating. That is the same low that the US congress reached before the elections in November. Recently Ireland made the news for printing its own Euros.

The Independent describes the fall:

When he took over as Prime Minister in 2008 he had already built a reputation as a heavyweight bruiser who had mastered his previous brief as minister for finance. But as the months passed, the economic policies he had helped to formulate came to be seen as ruinous, and he looked incapable of dealing with problems which became mountainous.

Many Fianna Fail members of the Dail, the Irish parliament, have announced they are not standing again, because they are unlikely to be re-elected or because they realise they will face years in opposition.

The election was precipitated during a day of turmoil after the small Green party, which has kept Fianna Fail in power, called for a contest in March. Four Fianna Fail ministers, plus a long-time supporter, then announced their resignations.

Ireland is not the first European country to face financial crisis but the abrupt resignation of cabinet ministers may be a sign of the debt times.

Ireland was one of the 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) which have been in the news for most of 2010 with collapsing economies from mountains of debt due to over spending.

Sound familiar?

Dragon Week: Information Warfare in the Information Age

Writing in 1995, before anyone in the West thought all that much about war online, Major General Wang Pufeng (the former Director of the Strategy Department at the China's Academy of Military Sciences) observed, "Our sights must not be fixed on the firepower war of the industrial age. … Rather they must be trained on the information warfare of the information age."

"In the final analysis," General Pufeng added, "information warfare is conducted by people." And China has a lot of people. For over a decade, China has been building its cyber militia.

In 1990, China's domestic computer hardware industry was worth less than $1 billion. In 2000, it was worth almost $23 billion. This development reflected in part a government decision to become a global leader in the computer industry. In 1995, there were about 40,000 Internet users in China. By 2003, there were over 59 million. In 1995, there were about 170,000 miles of fiber-optic cable in China for telecommunications. In 2000, there were about three-quarters of a million miles of the stuff.

The growth of the Chinese private investment, infrastructure, and the nation's online presence was matched by the rapid expansion of university education, particularly in the computer sciences. Building a cyber-citizenry was perhaps the government's greatest achievement. From the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, computer science and engineering programs grew at a steady but modest pace. In 1999, the government established policies to ramp up university level degrees for "mass education" to feed the country's demand for a technically trained workforce. By 2006, 23 million students enrolled in higher education institutions, more students than any other country in the world. China was doing more than training high-tech workers, though. It was creating the makings of a cyber-militia.

In 2006, the government-sponsored Red Hacker Alliance appeared with over 300,000 members. This army is available for patriotic cyber-action as well as duties on the homeland. The Ministry of Public Safety and the State Secrecy Bureau have cyber-security units at all levels of government, totaling in the hundreds of thousands (including college students who perform online law enforcement part-time in exchange for computer and Internet access).

Beijing's cyber-service includes more than a just a citizen militia. The Chinese have undertaken a sustained effort to develop information warfare capabilities to achieve "electromagnetic dominance" over the United States and other cyber competitors. The signs that this is happening are numerous and troubling. Security experts believe that in 2005, the Chinese government orchestrated a sophisticated cyber-espionage effort known as Titan Rain, which downloaded information from hundreds of unclassified defense and civilian networks. China's cyber stealing dwarfs Wikileaks many times over.

U.S. government information systems are attacked every day. Some of these intrusions have been extremely serious, compromising security and costing many millions of dollars. A few years ago, penetration of computer networks at the U.S. National Defense University proved so pervasive that the university was forced to take the entire computer network offline and install new information system defenses.

Beijing has aggressively used its cyber forces to muscle its way around the Internet at home as well as abroad. China bans many popular Western Web sites (such as Facebook) and conducts extensive Internet monitoring and filtering. According to the OpenNet Initiative, "a consistent feature of the Chinese Internet has been the lack of transparency, which has long been a hallmark of the government's management and suppression of information."

The U.S. has been slow to confront China's cyber bullying. Indeed, in the run up to the state visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao, U.S. officials also proclaimed their intent to pursue talks with the Chinese military to build trust and confidence on the most sensitive issues, including cyber threats. According to the International Business Times, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that he was confident that both sides "are on the road to fulfilling the mandate that our two Presidents have given to us: to strengthen the military-to-military relationships that they both consider an underdeveloped part of the overall U.S.-China relationship." The last thing the U.S. has shown is serious cyber-security leadership regarding the China threat.

Anti-Walmart Thugs Protest at DC Developer’s Home


A group of anti-Walmart thugs held a protest last night outside the home of DC developer Dick Knapp who has not yet secured a contract with the retail giant to build in the area.
The Examiner reported:

A group of about 25 people protesting Walmart's imminent arrival in the District gathered Thursday night in Woodley Park by picketing the D.C. home of a developer who has publicly said he wants to open stores for the big-box giant in the city.

Walmart announced in November that it is going to open four stores in the District, part of its national plan to expand beyond the rural and suburban markets it has come to dominate. The new urban model calls for smaller stores focusing on grocery items. The company says it plans to open the stores by 2012: two in Northwest, one in Northeast and one in Southeast.

But a group called "Wal-Mart Free D.C." doesn't want it to happen. They say Walmart will drive wages down and raise unemployment by squeezing out locally owned businesses. The group also claims Walmart has stood in the way of the District's statehood by funding the campaigns of conservative congressional candidates.

Thursday night's turnout was a mix of college students and residents. There is no union involvement, although the group is delivering a pro-union message, said one of the protest organizers Jessica Hall, a 26-year-old Ward 5 resident and second-grade teacher at a D.C. charter school.

"We're here because Walmart closes local businesses and the jobs are anti-union," Hall said.

The protesters carried anti-Walmart signs and chanted "Keep D.C. Walmart free!" outside the home of developer Dick Knapp, who does not yet have a deal with the corporate giant.
