Even with all there vast funding and expertise, do ³Û Û³ they really need the help of hackers? HARDLY! These agencies recruit ³Û Û³ degreed Computer Professionals from within corporate private sectors ³Û Û³ and Universities, not some high school midnight Hackers! It's not the ³Û Û³ Technical aspect of the Feds troubles that is the problem there facing. ³Û Û³ There Problems are in the sheer numbers of net citizens and Hackers that³Û Û³ are not willing to submit to there control and intrusions. You see, it's³Û Û³ not about recruiting hackers to aid the battle on cyber-crime. It's all ³Û Û³ about control. Hackers are being used by government agencies all right, ³Û Û³ but is it for the purpose that is being claimed? Or is it possible that ³Û Û³ this is only the beginning of a governmental plan that runs much deeper ³Û Û³ then what is only visible at the surface level. And the Hackers that are³Û Û³ involved - "all pawns in the game".

As technological advances ³Û Û³ are becoming more prevalent at an alarmingly fast pace, many of us fall ³Û Û³ by the wayside trying to understand and keep up with those advances. ³Û Û³ Those with a natural aptitude are far fewer than those of us who have to³Û Û³ struggle through the implications of the technology which has become a ³Û Û³ part of the lives of so many. A new world order is evolving right before³Û Û³ us and many panic from the implications of that, especially governments ³Û Û³ who see their lack of control over this new order as a threat to their ³Û Û³ own powers. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ One way governments can try to maintain control is to gain the knowledge³Û Û³ for themselves and compete for supremacy. One way to gain such knowledge³Û Û³ is to recruit from among the very people they villify as dissidents, ³Û Û³ namely script kiddies and hackers. Those who can be bought are bought ³Û Û³ while the rest are labeled as anti-government and criminals. Okay, so a ³Û Û³ hacker can find security holes in Os's and applications that most of us ³Û Û³ use on a daily basis. So what... If their purpose was to snoop into ³Û Û³ systems why tell about the security breaches that are found? Would you ³Û Û³ rather not know who's snooping or could be snooping around in your ³Û Û³ system? Invasion of privacy? What privacy? There is none and never has ³Û Û³ been. That's an illusion that most of us prefer to live with. Your next ³Û Û³ door neighbor probably knows as much about you as you do yourself. And I³Û Û³ bet he didn't have to find a security hole in your applications to know ³Û Û³ it, either. People tend to forget that if you don't want something to be³Û Û³ known about yourself, then the subject matter is best left unsaid to ³Û Û³ begin with... because regardless of the medium used to say it, someone ³Û Û³ will always know. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Humans are social animals and cannot survive well in isolation. The ³Û Û³ script kiddies of today are no different from the young adolescents who ³Û Û³ used to peep into girls' windows in the middle of the night, or write ³Û Û³ graffitti on walls making a statement of their own, usually to bring ³Û Û³ notice to themselves in a world that doesn't spend much time thinking of³Û Û³ kids as people, too. "All the world's a stage".. William Shakespeare. In³Û Û³ truth today, all the world is a stage as technology has delivered it ³Û Û³ into the hands of the masses. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ So, why the governmental interference and the ongoing fight for free ³Û Û³ speech and the advancement of knowledge? Because the government wants ³Û Û³ and must maintain control in order to survive itself. Freedom of speech ³Û Û³ itself is an illusion that most journalists have been trying to make a ³Û Û³ reality for centuries. As an example, Kennedy vs. Clinton. What's the ³Û Û³ difference? (okay, so Monica Lewinski isn't a Marilyn Monroe). The point³Û Û³ is one made media headlines while the other did very little except raise³Û Û³ a few eyebrows from time to time, neither of which incident would have ³Û Û³ any bearing on whether either was capable of leading a nation, but in ³Û Û³ the most recent case it did accomplish something: a division within the ³Û Û³ ranks of a political party. The story was 'allowed' to become public ³Û Û³ knowledge and fanned flames of outrage throughout the nation within some³Û Û³ parts of society, while other parts did little more than raise an ³Û Û³ eyebrow from time to time. But the division gave another political ³Û Û³ faction more power. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The word hacker according to the dictionary basically means a tinkerer ³Û Û³ or someone who tinkers. The dictionary doesn't specify a certain thing ³Û Û³ a hacker tinkers with. By that definition, many of us in the general ³Û Û³ population could be called hackers. The word has become a negative label³Û Û³ for a group of tinkerers who happen to be very good at tinkering with ³Û Û³ something the general population has little or no knowledge about... ³Û Û³ : computers. The word hacker engenders in most people's minds with the ³Û Û³ picture of someone sitting in a darkened room nosying around on the net,³Û Û³ writing out code to breach the security of countless computers for ³Û Û³ nefarious purposes, be it corporate espionage, snooping in someone's ³Û Û³ email or whatever. Granted, hackers can do that and more.... but as in ³Û Û³ one of my opening statements, so what? Just because you can do something³Û Û³ doesn't mean you will or should. It's a matter of choice. Hackers are as³Û Û³ much a part of society as any other culture. They have the knowledge ³Û Û³ that government wants, to preserve a way of life that is dying. The ³Û Û³ governments want control and have none. The media has become little more³Û Û³ than a governmental ragbag to cut off the very people who could advance ³Û Û³ that knowledge. Very seldom do you see an article about what the culture³Û Û³ has done that has advanced knowledge and when there is such an article ³Û Û³ it is placed in such a way that it receives very little notice from the ³Û Û³ general population. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Such is the way of politics.... divide and conquer. The divisions within³Û Û³ the culture itself are a threat as differences in philosophies among the³Û Û³ leaders create gaps in the sharing of knowledge while garnering power to³Û Û³ each faction for an intercultural war. The only thing left for the ³Û Û³ governments to do will be to monitor the war from the outside and woo ³Û Û³ contenders with promises of wealth and power, while those who don't ³Û Û³ "sell out" are labeled dissidents and criminals. The dissidents and ³Û Û³ criminals (usually the notorious script kiddies) are used to fan public ³Û Û³ outrage and fear. As public outrage and fear escalates, lines are drawn ³Û Û³ in the proverbial sand as factions form to compete with each other for ³Û Û³ supremacy. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Remember your history lessons... Lincoln once stated that a divided ³Û Û³ nation cannot stand. How so can anything stand divided against itself? ³Û Û³ A culture divided becomes a dead culture. There will always be hackers ³Û Û³ in one form or another, hiding out in the darkened rooms for fear of ³Û Û³ discovery, but will the culture itself survive? If so, how will it ³Û Û³ survive? ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ This author writes from a personal perspective based on conclusions ³Û Û³ drawn from psychological, sociological, scientific, and historical ³Û Û³ research.
