UN to Middle-Class: You Bad People Should Leave Your Homes and Live in Huts and Caves

Urban dwellers mainly cause global warming, but see little of it

According to a UN report, officials at the United Nations are caught up in the frenzy of hatred towards the middle-class. They believe that in America, the possibility of owning your own home is to blame for every social evil, including global warming. The UN is parroting out the same loathing of surburbia that has come out of the elite for years. After the tsunami the UN was clamoring how heavily populated areas would cause massive casualties in the event of a tsunami (they were busy telling people to move into UN controlled refugee camps while the US was on the ground feeding people).

While the US is working to solve world problems and make progress, it appears that the UN is the largest stalwart advocating people to return to poverty and disease and lay their hopes in an ineffective organization to help them.

Playing the Prophet

When I wrote this for the Internet Storm Center I was speaking in hypotheticals (the spyware part). Turn out in less than 2 weeks I was proved right. this story out of Israel (as well as this, and this, hat tip: Arik’s Blog) shows a real-life example of the theory at work. I’m working on getting to code and certainly more detailed information, but the upshot is that malware was highly customized and targetted for corporate espionage purposes. It was going on for over a year before being caught, and I’m sure it is (1) going on at other locations from other attackers, and (2) we’ll see more of it.
