Unbelievable Economic Instability in Zimbabwe

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6354783.stm

1600% inflation! In other words a bottle of coke that costs $1 would jump to $16! This would just absolutely cripple any economy affected by it, but happening to an already unstable economy like Zimbabwe simply produces utter economic chaos, and thus political chaos (something here in the states we cannot even really fathom). Praise God He has had mercy on our nation. We certainly do not deserve it for how complacent we are toward His goodness. I pray Christ blesses them through this trial with His Gospel by reigning in the hearts of the Zimbabwean people and spreading like a wild-fire.

Although hacking attacks are inevitably going to occur, it’s good to know that no major disruption was accomplished with this attack on the 13 top-level DNS servers as had occurred back in Oct 2002 when hackers successfully took down 3 of the 13 servers.

Internet Monitoring Thwarts Terror Plot

What a great thing it is to find out that a major terror plot in Canada was thwarted. But guess what started the investigation: internet monitoring. This is a case-in-point example of why technological monitoring is so important. Everybody would have been screaming bloody murder as to why the authorities did not see this coming if it had been pulled off. And here is how they thwarted it. This must serve as a prime example of why technology monitoring is so important. However at the same time, I do believe there needs to be someone monitoring the monitors, setting it up in a similar fashion to our system of government. It’s called checks and balances, something this nation was founded upon. So we must monitor, but at the same time, it must be checked on so that it doesn’t spin out of control.
