If You See This Google Warning, Act Fast: Big Brother is Watching
What happens when your computer gets a virus?
“When Eugene Kaspersky, the founder of Europe’s largest antivirus company, discovered the Flame virus that is afflicting computers in Iran and the Middle East, he recognized it as a technologically sophisticated virus that only a government could create.
He also recognized that the virus, which he compares to the Stuxnet virus built by programmers employed by the United States and Israel, adds weight to his warnings of the grave dangers posed by governments that manufacture and release viruses on the internet.
“Cyberweapons are the most dangerous innovation of this century,” he told a gathering of technology company executives… While the United States and Israel are using the weapons to slow the nuclear bomb-making abilities of Iran, they could also be used to disrupt power grids and financial systems or even wreak havoc with military defenses.”

Dr. Wilson comments:
I remember in the pre-Internet days when the medical profession controlled access to health information. Patients were dependent on their physicians for most of their healthcare information. The Internet has democratized medical information. The average Joe now has access to the same information that I do. To me this is an important advance but to some this threatens their monopoly over healthcare information. Let freedom ring!
