Much like the NBA scouts looking the next upcoming future basketball star, globalist corporations and militarized factions within our government are doing the same, but for cyber-warriors

(INTELLIHUB) — From the moment a child is enrolled in public school system one must question just how much information is being tracked, documented and utilized to the advantage of certain interests.

Interestingly enough, looking back on my school days, I remember that tests would often arise, special tests. These test became more frequent as I moved into high school. However, what was the true intention of these tests?

On one occasion, as the bratty student I was, I begged to find out. I simply just filled in the little bubbles on the rather boring and lengthy test, which sprawled out over a 3 day period, with my #2 pencil in crazy and different patterns, never putting any thought into the test. I knew I would likely fail and or get lucky and pass. But more importantly, I knew it would send a message to the establishment? But who would receive my message?

By the third day of the test I was actually writing words using the bubbles as a guide, so when you turned the test on its side it would read out direct messages to the establishment or the people who scored them. I was really getting into it, it was great.

So why did I do all of this?

The one thing that stands out to me still to this day is the fact that the military would actually send active recruiters to my school. In fact it even pre-dated high school. These military recruiters for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines would try to grab the hearts and minds of the students heavily at their young age, especially during lunch hour when the students were most vulnerable. This ran hand in hand with the schools JROTC program.

Moreover, I also saw NBA recruiters at my high school on occasion. They tended focused on one student athlete in particular who was over 7 feet tall. That’s when I eventually started putting 2 and 2 together and by golly it added up to 4.

Now jumping forward to the current year, we see why all of this was brought into play as defense contractors and factions of the Pentagon are now actively seeking hackers to enter the realm of I.T. security and citizen surveillance.

In fact, Eric Niller reported;

Computer-savvy teens are putting down their game controllers — at least temporarily — for code writing and virus-sweeping. Call it “Red Dawn: Part Deux: Teen Cyber-Commandos.”

At events like the CyberLympics, CyberPatriot contest or just-announced “Toaster Wars,” sponsored by the National Security Agency, high school geek squads are competing to see who does the best job at preventing unauthorized computer intrusions.

This growing interest in cyberdefense comes at a time when the Pentagon officials are warning against damaging computer attacks from China and other nations, while stoking concerns that the United States education system hasn’t trained enough cyber-warriors to protect either military or civilian computer systems.

Utilities, power companies, tech firms, banks, Congress, universities and media organizations, all have faced suspected Chinese attacks in recent months.

“The threat has evolved so quickly,” said Diane Miller, Northrop Grumman’s director of information security and cyber initiatives. “It really has created a sense of urgency.”

The Pentagon and its defense contractors are behind these contests, which are designed to recruit kids to future careers in cyber-defense and IT security. The CyberPatriot contest, which is sponsored by the Air Force Association, has grown from eight high school squads in 2009 to more than 1,200 this year.

Now look at where we stand currently as a nation. Look at where we stand as citizens. The walls are caving in on us as the powers-that-shouldn’t-be have encroached upon our personal freedoms immensely in the last decade.

Fear is now ushered in from various waves of state sponsored terror, such as the attacks of 9/11 and the recent mass shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing. If, we hold our present course, it will only be a matter of time until most of the U.S. populace is fully enslaved into a pre-crime style setting, where everything is monitored 24/7/365.
