Electronic Jihad

"Computer terrorism is a silent, almost invisible attack with the express purpose of weakening and exposing

vulnerabilities of other areas within the U.S. economic infrastructures - tragically a terrorist attack could be directed using computer/technology, numerous cyber-attacks, and cause extensive power blackouts (Lampholder Publications 1999).

A cyber-attack is a plan to cause confusion and harm to the U.S. infrastructure and allies around the world. It is intended

as the initial onslaught for a larger campaign that begins initially as "computer warfare." This could bring computers and

technology to a halt, and also aid the Palestinian terror groups, and other terrorist organizations in implementing an attack

against Israel and the U.S. in the near future. " (Lampholder Publications, 2001).

Many of the headlines today are discerned Lampholder forewarnings from the past...

"Vital US infrastructure including power grids and banking systems have been put under simulated attack in

a week-long security exercise called Cyber Storm. The war game drew in 115 agencies from the FBI and CIA to the

Internet Attack Called Broad and Long Lasting by Investigators

USA - Early Warning Center - Security Against Cyber Terrorism

"Daily computer security headaches such as viruses and spam threaten to spread to a far wider range of devices -- from phones to car engines, a survey to be published by IBM on Wednesday has found."

"The Internet will fall victim to a "devastating attack" sometime in the next decade...."

"Former CIA Director Robert Gates says that cyberterrorism could be the most devastating

"There was no terrorist attack on the Internet on August 26, a spokesman of a Russian company specializing in antivirus programs said on Friday. The same company had earlier said there was a strong possibility...It is not their statements that frighten us but the fact that the computer underground has all the means to realize its threats...On Thursday, Zernov was quoted by Russian Information Agency Novosti as saying that there was no information confirming the beginning of a terrorist attack in the Internet but he added that 'the probability that it will happen today or within the next few days is very high.'"

"terrorists will paralyze the internet on August 26...Information on this terrorist attack

Also, according to Gostev, the "United States and Western Europe will suffer from the attack."

"A coordinated online strike against Internet servers by terrorists, dubbed "electronic jihad...."

"Kaspersky and other security analysts have noted claims on Arabic-language Web sites

"Computer terrorism is a silent, almost invisible attack with the express purpose of weakening and exposing

vulnerabilities of other areas within the U.S. economic infrastructures - tragically a terrorist attack could be directed using computer/technology, numerous cyber-attacks...and causing extensive power blackouts."

"A cyber attack is a plan to cause confusion and harm to the U.S. infrastructure and allies around the world.

It is intended as the initial onslaught for a larger campaign that begins initially as computer warfare."

The Lampholder never predicted a specific date, only the discerned time-frame!

Gostev's prediction for August 26th, and the article from RIA Novosti report ,

The following alert was ranked on the low-medium-high discernment level as "high."

Prophecy Report

"Computer terrorism is a silent, almost invisible attack with the express purpose of weakening and exposing vulnerabilities of other areas within the U.S. economic infrastructures - tragically a terrorist attack could be directed using computer/technology, numerous

cyber-attacks, and causeng extensive power blackouts (Lampholder 1999).

As discerned, this could be a major attempt to shut down and control key areas within the country. A computer attack may occur simultaneously with attacks on the U.S., Israel and other allied countries.

A cyber-attack is a plan to cause confusion and harm to the U.S. infrastructure and allies around the world. It is intended as the initial onslaught for a larger campaign that begins initially as "computer warfare."

~PROPHECY ALERT

ABC News reported today that U.S. military officials issued an ancient warning to the remaining al Qaeda and Taliban in Afghanistan, "Beware the ides of March." (1)

This article brought to remembrance The Lampholder Newsletter Prophecy Report dated November 30, 2001, on Terror Days which read: "To Julius Caesar, March 15th would be just like any other day, that is, except for an ominous warning, "Beware the Ides of March. It is strangely true, but in the mind of many, certain dates, such as the Ides of March, have a particularly foreboding sense of doom associated with it...." (2)

Terrorism does have a particular fondness for reigning down destruction on certain key dates in history. The U.S. has come almost full circle from the events of the WTC attack on 9/ll, winding down the campaign against the al Qaeda/Taliban reign of terror in Afgahnistan from October 7th to the present, the Ides of March (15th). Interestingly associated with key dates for terror are the many email inquiries Lampholder Publications' has received on a recent DEBKA Intelligence report regarding a Palestinian Passover Plot around March 25. (3)

The Festival of Liberation, Pesach or Passover 2002/5762, the seven-day feast begins March 27 and lasts through April 4, 2002. Pesach is when G-d delivered the children of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from the bonds of their Egyptian oppressors. Pesach begins on the 15th day of Nissan. The year

2448 after the creation of the world (Exodus 1-15).

At present, we have not discerned whether the prophecy alert (below) is connected to the Passover Plot, but it might be something to consider in regard to the following prophecy alert.

~ COMPUTER TERRORISM, CYBER-ATTACK

....a massive, major computer attack is now being prepared. Lampholder Publications, in the area of prophetic discernment, believes the next phase of the war on terrorism will be an indirect approach which may have already begun and well in its preparation stage...

For the last week...discernment has indicated plans for a major computer terrorist attack being prepared.....Over the last six months, the major focus against terrorism has been homeland security with the airlines and other areas receiving concerned attention (Lampholder prophetic warnings went out September 2001, regarding these other areas of terror targets we discerned to be vulnerable).

The spotlight has been shown on the terrorists, and therefore, those remaining have no choice but to go underground; and one proven area of expertise used by terrorists is the use of computers and the Internet. News reports from Afghanistan indicate the extensive use of computer laptops in the al Qaeda terrorist training camps run by Uosama bin Laden.

An attempted, or even successful, cyber-attack against U.S. and world interests would be a way for terrorism to silently slip under the radar screen.

Terrorist cells planted in key areas around the globe could inflict as much, or more, damage with computer technology as they could with a bomb or explosive device. With so much attention on the obvious targets for terror, computer terrorism, or cyber-attacks, would be a quiet, yet equally as dangerous, way of shutting down a country through targeting major telecommunication areas, crucial power grids, and other areas of critical communication.
A terrorist may physically attack a plane, building, or infrastructure thereby killing people and damaging property in the immediate area, but a massive computer terrorist attack could cause multiple outages, disruptions, and chaos over an undetermined area. The consequences from such an attack are so massive, it could theoretically spread over the entire globe before completing its agenda.

If successfuly, we discerned a cyber-attack would be for the specific purpose of launching an even greater secondary assault using a different point of vulnerability. With computer systems virtually shut down, a deadly terrorist attack could be implemented successfully creating a physical as well as an economic disaster.

The attacks could emerge from different parts of the U.S. and the world - all timed in unison to work together. The main goal of the attack is NOT security breaches in alone, but attempts to dismantle, bring down and ultimately destroy the technology/economic/financial infrastructure of the U.S. and allies. Attempts could be made to infiltrate Federal agencies involved with national security and military operations, and also with the intent of spreading malicious viruses that could disable military, government, and/or commercial computer networks. The ultimate strategy is to instigate chaos which will bring about massive disorder thereby opening the way for the primary goal of the secondary frontal attack. This will occur just prior to the major attack.

Make sure all virus software is up-to-date, firewall protection in place, and alternative emergency computer operation is functioning in case of server failure or other. Security breaches, data deletion, system overloads, computer system crashes, and Website breaches are just some of the disasters that can happen if companies do not adequately protect their computer systems.

An attack could be used to quietly modify system logic and information coming into and out of the computer by introducing a virus or Trojan horse. Areas of most vulnerability would be telephone companies through the long-distance

system by shutting down telephone switching abilities. Dismantling one or more switches would result in over 100 million people/business/emergency systems unable to use their telephones.

Also vulnerable are the telephone cable systems. If a cable were severed or disabled millions would be without the use of their telephone. Any computer-controlled vehicle would be adversely affected such as computer systems in airport control towers, other major transportation areas like freight and passenger train routing, hospital emergency/police/rescue response, business computer systems, the stock market/international exchange, financial/banking systems, oil/gas refineries, nuclear power plants, television/radio programming, internet crashes, and other major worldwide networks. The key

operation of everything from business, emergency, to the military could be subject to electronic terrorism.

Unless forewarned the U.S. would not realize it was under a major computer terrorist attack until after it had begun, and perhaps then, it would be too late. This prophecy alert is a call to prayer, intercession, and prevention....
