I have no idea who did this hack or why.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s monetary, just monetary, if it\u2019s an attack on our food supply system, if it\u2019s both. &#8220;Hey, why not make money with an attack on the U.S., you know, food supply chain? Why not make money doing that since we\u2019re gonna do it anyway?&#8221; I don\u2019t know, and I don\u2019t think people know yet.

Everything is now being confirmed through these emails. Fauci lied about masks. He lied about asymptomatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>He lied about not believing this came from a lab, that virus was engineered and he had reason to believe it was, et cetera. That\u2019s gonna continue to unfold. I want you to just remember something: Never let a good crisis go to waste. So during these selective lockdowns, Democrat sweetheart companies saw multiple increases in their net worths.<\/p>\n<p>So did Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg, et cetera. The school unions? They\u2019ve been paid off to the billions and billions of dollars. And when there were lockdowns of plants, I heard about a lot of meat plants being locked down. I didn\u2019t hear a lot about vegetable plants or soy plants. Maybe that happened. Maybe I didn\u2019t hear it.

He\u2019s now journalist at large, and one of the &#8212; if not the &#8212; greatest reporter on the Pentagon and the Department of Defense systems, national security of the United States.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/01\/13\/rush-talks-with-bill-gertz\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-398038\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051821-Classic-Gold-FOREWARNED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051821-Classic-Gold-FOREWARNED.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051821-Classic-Gold-FOREWARNED-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051821-Classic-Gold-FOREWARNED-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Folks, it\u2019s an historical compendium of many of the challenges we\u2019ve had with cyberattacks going back years and years, from North Korea, from the ChiComs, cyberattacks we\u2019ve engaged in, success stories, failures, areas we\u2019re strong and weak and so forth based on Bill\u2019s investigation. As somebody who knows about cyber wars and cyber security, how do you, Bill Gertz&#8230;? How do you process this stuff? How do you react to it? &#8216;Cause you know whether some of this stuff is true, legitimate or not. So how do you deal with it yourself?<\/p>\n<p>GERTZ: Yeah. This is an amazing phenomenon. What we\u2019re seeing is what I call information warfare. It\u2019s basically the kind of warfare that\u2019s gonna dominate our society because we live in an information age, and we\u2019re under assault from all quarters, not just the Russians. The Chinese, the Iranians, and I even put the liberal left in the kind of domestic information warfare. It\u2019s a broad-scale assault, and the United States is ill-prepared to deal with it. We just don\u2019t have anything that can counteract these lies and disinformation the way we did during the Cold War.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By that, do you mean we don\u2019t have secure systems that would block cyberattacks, that we do not have good firewalls, we don\u2019t have systems in place to be able to identify these attacks when they\u2019re happening and be able to stop them?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/01\/13\/rush-talks-with-bill-gertz\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-217343\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER-768x246.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER-1024x328.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/GERTZSLIDER-1080x346.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>GERTZ: Yes. We\u2019ve learned that the internet is basically a lawless environment, and every time we build defenses, the bad guys find ways around them. The real solution is to go on the offensive, and under Obama, he has done absolutely nothing to counteract massive cyberattacks from the Chinese, now the Russians, and also the Iranians and North Koreans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So let\u2019s get specifics. It\u2019s about the overall vulnerability of our country to all of this increasing cyber warfare, and he details how we have been hit that people don\u2019t know. In other words, Chinese, Russian, Iranian, even Israeli success stories over the years. As you have studied all of this, do you have any impressions yet on whether or not how complacent do you think our population has become to threats against our country from foreign actors like Russia, like North Korea?<\/p>\n<p>GERTZ: Oh, absolutely. I think North Korea is one of the most dangerous threats. It emerged as a greater threat under Obama, where he ignored missile and submarine-launched ballistic missile developments, five nuclear tests. There\u2019s been no sanctions imposed on this regime. This is a regime that has been accused of crimes against humanity. Here we are in the Twenty-First Century and this regime is allowed to continue? The reason is that the Obama administration farmed out its North Korea policy to Beijing. And guess what? The Chinese communists in Beijing supported the North Korean communists in Pyongyang.<\/p>\n<p>TODD: And here we sit with Joe Biden\u2019s dementia, which I don\u2019t say to be cruel. I just point out he\u2019s not capable mentally of leading a country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TODD: Listen here as El Rushbo speaks with Bill Gertz way back in 2017 warning the country about cyberattacks like these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":400216,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
