SWITZERLAND, Zurich — As previously reported in an article entitled, “Thanksgiving and Black Friday Cybergeddon Terror Attacks?”, there is a high probability that the American retail holidays known as Black Friday, and Cyber Monday may be targeted with state-sponsored cyber-terrorism. As the November 26, 2013, headline “Cyberscammers take aim at Black Friday, Cyber Monday” suggests, foul play may be imminent.

False-flag cyber-terror attacks, should they occur, would most likely transpire sometime between Thursday, November 28, 2012, and Monday, December 1, 2013. Cyber-attacks would likely target the U.S. electrical grid, financial institutions, credit card companies, retail computers, and travel related entities such as airports, bus stations and train terminals.

Twin reports dated November 23, 2013, entitled, “NSA hacked over 50,000 computer networks worldwide” and “NSA Infected 50,000 Computer Networks Worldwide With Malware”, have provided a timely motive for an impending cyber-terror attack that will predictably be scapegoated onto the state-sponsored terror group known as Anonymous.   

1. NATO’s “Cyber Coalition 2013”
In what appears to be cover for a major cyber-terror attack operation, it was reported on November 26, 2013, that NATO has launched the “largest ever” cyber-security exercise entitled “Cyber Coalition 2013” which started on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, and runs through Black Friday, November 29, 2013. The stated goal of the operation is to “thwart massive, simultaneous attacks on member states and their allies”. According to reports, the three-day exercise will include participants from over 30 European states as well as 400 IT, government and legal experts from across the NATO alliance. In other words, it’s the largest cyber-terror drill ever, and everybody who is somebody in the field of state-sponsored cyber-terror will likely be in attendance. The obvious rhetorical question in respect to Cyber Coalition 2013 is: Why hold a massive drill on Black Friday unless a cyber-terror attack is already planned?

2. Cyber-Terror Doomsday Imminent
Since June of 2012, numerous propaganda articles have stated that a cyber-terror doomsday is imminent and that when it happens, all hell will break loose in America. Headlines such as “‘End Of The World As We Know It’: Kaspersky Warns Of Cyber-Terror Apocalypse”; “Former FBI Cyber Cop Worries About A Digital 9/11”; “Retiring Rep. Norm Dicks Warns Of ‘Cyber 9/11′”; “Panetta: Cyber Threat Is Pre 9/11 Moment”; “Defense Secretary Warns Of ‘Cyber-Pearl Harbor’”; “Threat Of ‘Spectacular’ Cyberattack Looms”; U.S. homeland chief: cyber 9/11 could happen “imminently”; and “FBI: Cyber-attacks surpassing terrorism as major domestic threat”; indicates that an unprecedented act of state-sponsored cyber-terror in the United States is imminent. Exactly how a cyber-Doomsday will manifest itself is unknown, but a Black Friday cyber-terror attack appears to be the working plan at the moment.

3. Foiled Cyber-Terror Attacks
The chances of an unprecedented cyber-terror attack is extremely high considering that the Syrian Electronic Army set-up for a cyber-terror attack on the Minotaur V rocket launch of September 6, 2013. A few months later, the state-sponsored terror group known as “Anonymous” was caught red-handed plotting a November 5, 2013, cyber-terror attack on the Utah NSA Data Spy Center. Most recently, as depicted in the article entitled, “November 19, 2013 Minotaur I Rocket Launch (SSTTA): “Anonymous” Cyber-Terror Attack Set to Activate “GridEx II” Blackout”, another Anonymous cyber-terror attack was evidently foiled targeting the Minotaur I rocket launch in Virginia. Needless to say, cyber-terror is blinking red on every level.

4. “GridEx II” Cyber-Terror Drill:
Considering that on November 13-15, 2013, a massive power grid terror drill entitled “GridEx II” was executed on the East Coast of America, there is a real possibility that a massive cyber-terror attack on Thanksgiving weekend could turn out the lights on communities and retailers. According to the August 16, 2013, a New York Times report entitled “As Worries Over The Power Grid Rise, A Drill Will Simulate A Knockout Blow” was published which stated that “the electric grid, as government and private experts describe it, is the glass jaw of American industry. If an adversary lands a knockout blow, they fear, it could black out vast areas of the continent for weeks; interrupt supplies of water, gasoline, diesel fuel and fresh food; shut down communications; and create disruptions of a scale that was only hinted at by Hurricane Sandy and the attacks of Sept. 11”. According to the report, “Thousands of utility workers, business executives, National Guard officers, F.B.I. antiterrorism experts and officials from government agencies in the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill in November that will simulate physical attacks and cyber-attacks that could take down large sections of the power grid. They will practice for a crisis unlike anything the real grid has ever seen, and more than 150 companies and organizations have signed up to participate.”

5. Blackout Déjà Vu
If and when a major cyber-terror attack occurs, it will most likely involve a lengthy blackout of the electrical grid. Predictably, it was reported on April 26, 2013, that the former CIA Director stated that the U.S. electrical grid is vulnerable to attack. Roughly 6 months later on October 17, 2013, it was reported that U.S. utilities are a “soft underbelly” for hackers. Shortly thereafter, “blackouts” have been trending in America. On November 1, 2012, just days prior to the 2012 Presidential Election, Hurricane Sandy allegedly cut off electricity to roughly 600,000 customers, including the New York skyline. Roughly 3 months later on February 3, 2013, Super Bowl XLVII was blackout for 34 minutes due to an alleged power outage. Interestingly, on September 1, 2013, former NFL star Ray Lewis had stated that the Super Bowl blackout was conspiracy against the Baltimore Ravens, his former team. Regardless of the alleged cause, there is a concerted effort to turn the lights off in America for good. One way to achieve this would be to execute a very public cyber-terror attack on Thanksgiving.

6. Anonymous Terror Trending
Although there are likely many non-state actors affiliated with Anonymous, the logo of Anonymous depicts two Roman sheaves just like the United Nations’ logo. Anonymous also receive worldwide press which indicates that they are indeed a state-sponsored cyber-hacking group. After all, government only pimps their own and will not under any circumstance give publicity to their enemy or a cause they do not support. Based on the sheer amount of headlines and events in respect to Anonymous, the next act of cyber-terror will almost undoubtedly be scapegoated onto them.

7. Obama Cyber-Attacks
In the aftermath of an unprecedented Anonymous cyber-attack, the recent glitches and shutdowns of the ObamaCare website will predictably be cited as Anonymous cyber-attacks. Since October 12, 2013, the infamous ObamaCare website has suffered at least 4 cyber-related outages while Obama’s Facebook and Twitter accounts have also been digitally compromised. These fabricated attacks were evidently executed to create a narrative whereby Obama himself is being targeted by hackers so that he can appear sympathetic to the public in the wake of unprecedented cyber-attacks which his administration sanctioned.

Obama-Related Cyber Attacks:

1. October 12, 2013:Tech experts wary of more Obamacare glitches
2. October 27, 2013: A Hacker Group Just Compromised a Page on Barack Obama’s Website

8. Cyber-Terror Attack Propaganda
In blatantly naked programming for an impending cyber-terror attack, on September 6, 2013, a USA Today propaganda report entitled “How Prepared Are You for a Cyberattack?” was published. According to the report, most major U.S. companies have been under siege by hackers over the last 18 months. The report depicts a grim post-cyber-attack world: “Imagine waking up one morning with no power. Cellphones can’t connect, banks are closed, the Internet is down and credit cards don’t work. In localized emergencies, workers from other areas help to restore services quickly. A cyber-attack could affect wide regions of the country, overwhelming the available manpower. It could take days, weeks or months for basic services to be fully restored. Not a pretty picture”. As evidenced, cyber-terror is at an all-time high and will likely culminate in an unprecedented cyber-terror attack that will forever change America.

Taylor currently lives in Zürich, Switzerland where he has applied for political asylum after the release of The Nuclear Bible, a book credited with foiling a state-sponsored nuclear terror attack upon Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011. Taylor has also authored The Bio-Terror Bible, a book and website exposing the 2013 global bio-terror pandemic. To date, Truther.org has identified and exposed over 50 Obama sanctioned terror plots, as well as the Alex Jones’ links to STRATFOR.

Truther.org Legal Disclaimer
Truther.org’s stated purpose is to prevent terror attacks by drawing unwanted global attention to these terror plots prior to their fruition. State-Sponsored Terror Threat Assessments (SSTTA), assertions, and forecasts made by Truther.org DO NOT necessarily imply that these terror events will transpire in reality but rather that there is a distinct possibility they could theoretically occur based on the cited date. Historically, once a major false-flag terror plot is exposed (e.g., the Super Bowl XLV Nuclear Terror Plot), the terror plot is immediately canceled or postponed. State-sponsored acts of terror must have a prior paper trail in order to set-up patsies, prime scapegoats, create plausible deniability, as well as mislead the public from the true perpetrators of terror. By first identifying and then connecting the dots of the terror related paper trail, Truther.org has successfully blown the whistle on numerous terror related plots. Please spread the word in helping make terrorism a thing of the past. Blessed are the Peacemakers. Namaste
