Is America on the brink of civil war? Could foreign cyber plots turn Americans against one another and cause a disastrous domestic conflict? What would happen if the lights went out and the technology we rely upon to run American life is no longer available? The present dangers are real. The US is more vulnerable to destructive foreign interference today than it has been in over a century. As Russia and China realize they can’t win shooting wars against the US, they have devised new and cunning ways to destabilize American politics and cripple the US economy.

The world is primed for radical changes in government where each of us has an equal voice and all are held accountable. In Architecture of a Technodemocracy, Hanania provides a detailed blueprint on how to leverage current government processes, communications systems, and blockchain security to take the next step in the evolution of human government. By harnessing technology that already exists, we can nonviolently reshape our respective governments.

As the 2022 National Security Strategy and National Defense Strategy (NDS) makes clear, the United States is in the midst of a decisive decade where the terms of geopolitical competition between the world’s major powers will be set. The Department of Defense (DoD) will advance its priorities in three interlocking ways– through integrated deterrence, campaigning, and by building enduring advantages. Accelerated technology advancement and innovation are key elements to achieving DoD priorities through these strategic ways, and to ensure our national security over the long term.

Federal agencies with a lead role to assist and protect one or more of the nation’s 16 critical infrastructures are referred to as sector risk management agencies (SRMAs). The SRMAs for three of the 16 have determined the extent of their sector’s adoption of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (framework). In doing so, lead agencies took actions such as developing sector surveys and conducting technical assessments mapped to framework elements.

Since World War II, the National Security Agency (NSA) and its predecessors have protected the United States’ most sensitive information. As technological advancements have created a more interconnected world with ever-increasing threats, NSA’s mission has expanded.

When COVID-19 began spreading rapidly, the world was taken by surprise. As the ensuing pandemic raged, we faced one constant—a lack of consistent, scientifically sound, and trusted information about dangers, risks, and mitigation strategies that the average person could understand and put into practice to keep themselves and their families safe. Now, the former Surgeon General of the United States—freed from the many constraints he worked under in public office—reveals critical lessons learned from both mistakes and successes overlooked during the pandemic.

In the modern era, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an omnipresent force, touching nearly every aspect of our lives. From virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles, AI technologies have transformed the way we work, communicate, and make decisions. Yet, as AI continues to evolve, so do the potential risks associated with its misuse. One of the most alarming prospects is the use of AI to manipulate democratic processes, including elections.

Big Pharma is more interested in profit than health. This was made clear as governments rushed to produce vaccines during the Covid pandemic. Behind the much-trumpeted scientific breakthroughs, major companies found new ways of gouging billions from governments in the West while abandoning the Global South. But this is only the latest episode in a long history of financializing medicine—from Purdue's rapacious marketing of highly addictive OxyContin through Martin Shkreli's hiking the price of a lifesaving drug to the 4.5 million South Africans needlessly deprived of HIV/AIDS medication.

Der Medienexperte Martin Andree führt scharf und mit plakativen Illustrationen vor Augen, dass wir schon bald unumkehrbar in der Gewalt einer Handvoll US-Konzerne sein werden, die zunehmend auf der dunklen Seite der Macht agieren. Mit jedem Quartal, das ohne Widerstand vergeht, werden die Digitalkonzerne unbesiegbarer und das Internet unfreier. Sein Buch ist ein Manifest der Gegenwehr.

Una delle poche cose su cui pressoché tutti gli italiani, di qualunque schieramento politico, sembrano essere d’accordo è che l’energia nucleare è una cosa brutta. Le accuse sono note a tutti: il nucleare è pericoloso, costoso, lento da implementare, produce scorie radioattive e comunque non ci serve. Ma l’accusa è solo una parte del processo: se si vuole formulare un giudizio equo, occorre ascoltare anche l’altra campana.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20211 (CAA) requires the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) to submit annually for seven years a report focused on cybersecurity to Congress.

In 2011, amid the popular uprising against Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, the government sought in vain to shut down the Internet-based social networks of its people. WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange has been branded "public enemy number one" by some in the United States for posting material on the World Wide Web that concerns airstrikes in Iraq, US diplomatic communications, and other sensitive matters.

America is at war, but most of its citizens don't know it. Covert information warfare is being waged by world powers, rogue states - such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea - and even terrorist groups like ISIS. This conflict has been designed to defeat and ultimately destroy the United States. This new type of warfare is part of the Information Age that has come to dominate our lives.
