RE: so little outcry, I share your surprise. I would NOT have thought we were so divorced from real current events to NOT cry out, in this instance in particular.

I'm just shaking my head in disbelief still. "All citizens must be gassable."

Are we callous?
Numb?
Over saturated?
Skeptical?
NIMBY conditioned?
other explanations???

Interesting but as I review the above "reasons"
so many could be applied to the gold disinformation campaign, yes?

Y2K - FBI, Pentagon
Brace For Hacker Attacks
By Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI and the Pentagon are planning a special vigil as 1999 comes to a close, fearing both government and private sector computers could come under attack as the calendar changes to 2000.


Terrorists, hostile nations, criminals and recreational hackers could all launch assaults at the same time -- and could use Y2K malfunctions to hide their actions.

"It is not at all unreasonable to expect the people and the groups who engage in those activities every day might focus their activities at the same time around the date change," said Michael Vatis, head the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC).

Established at FBI headquarters in February 1998, the NIPC is the government's control center for threat assessment, warning, investigation, and response for threats or attacks against critical infrastructure. (cont)
