Cybersecurity: Another high-margin scam racket for oligarchs...

Editor's note: ...thinking back to when Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship in Israel stated: "Cyber is a real domain of power." And what is power best represented by? Well, if you read the following essay cybersecurity is expected to reach "$578.2 billion by 2033." That's power. With AI becoming even more sophisticated and advanced this cybersecurity racket looks good. The rise of surveillance capitalism. What a freak show. And while on the subject of rackets, professional sports are all rackets.

Cybersecurity is a Racket


April 20, 2025


A racket, so you know, is "a service that calls forth its own demand, and would not have been needed otherwise." By that definition, most major industries today are rackets, including healthcare, insurance, national defense, public safety, higher education, and so on. I'm here to tell you we can add one more burgeoning industry to that list.

Here's what Google AI tells us:
The cybersecurity industry is experiencing substantial growth, driven by increasing cyber threats and the need for robust security solutions, with a global market projected to reach $578.2 billion by 2033.
Why they picked that particular year on which to base their projections, I think you know. Point being, cybersecurity means big money. In today's world, nothing gets to be big money by accident. The economy is just a giant cart pulling the horse, with the billionaire and trillionaire families hidden behind private equity and investment groups creating and inflating new markets with Monopoly money. Information technology is a prime example of that, and cybersecurity is just the latest phase. It's analogous to the physical security market. You've seen smart cameras popping up at traffic lights and public squares and school campuses all over your city; how did they ever justify that expense to the public? By staging fake events like mass shootings, of course. We need only apply that logic to the digital world to make sense of the rapid rise of the cybersecurity industry.

I offer a single fact, courtesy of Wikipedia, to substantiate my claim:
55 percent of data breaches are caused by organized crime.
Miles has already shown that organized crime was entirely an FBI creation. Hoover created the American mafia from whole cloth and sold it to the public in order to justify a massive expansion of the FBI’s budget. So to see organized crime responsible for over half of all data breaches just means that your own government officials—and your own tax dollars—are stealing your data. But wait, why would they need to do that when they already have full access to all of your data via cozy partnerships with Google, Intel, Microsoft, Apple, etc.? In other words, why would the trillionaire families have to steal data they already own? The only answer that makes sense is that they are trying to sell their latest scam: cybersecurity.

To be clear, I'm not saying all cyberattacks are perpetrated by your own government. I am saying all the major ones are, and probably most of the minor ones, too. And most of the hackers out there are in the employ of national intelligence, whether they realize it or not. Check out this illuminating post on Quora from an NSA analyst who admits that the NSA tracks down hackers globally, not to hand them over to the FBI, but to recruit them.

But let's dig deeper. One of the largest cybersecurity firms in the world is Palo Alto Networks.
The company serves over 70,000 organizations in over 150 countries, including 85 of the Fortune 100. It is a partner organization of the World Economic Forum.
Big red flag there already. The WEF is not in the business of protecting personal rights or privacy, so why would they want to partner with Palo Alto Networks? Because the WEF is really about engineering the global economy for the trillionaires' maximum profit, and cybersecurity is one of their latest high-margin markets.
Palo Alto Networks was founded in 2005 by Nir Zuk, a former engineer from Check Point and NetScreen Technologies. Zuk, an Israeli native, began working with computers during his mandatory military service in the Israeli Defense Forces in the early 1990s and served as head of software development in Unit 8200, a branch of the Israeli Intelligence Corps.
Another huge red flag, isn't it? One of the founding fathers of cybersecurity came out of Israeli military intelligence, which is to say American military intelligence. They are one and the same, you know. It reminds us of how Google was also created by U.S. intelligence via the CIA's investment arm, In-Q-Tel, and how the entire internet was a DARPA project. Speaking of Google:
In June 2018, former Google and SoftBank executive Nikesh Arora joined the company as Chairman and CEO.
There are no Google executives who are not on the U.S. intelligence payroll, which indicates Palo Alto Networks is just another CIA or DoD front. The President of Palo Alto Networks is BJ Jenkins, who previously worked at EMC Corporation. EMC was a big-time data storage, cybersecurity, and cloud computing company founded by Richard Egan. Where did Egan come from? Before founding EMC, he was on the team that helped develop Project Apollo memory systems for NASA and also worked at Lockheed Martin and Intel.

Another big cybersecurity firm is Crowdstrike, which was founded in partnership with the private equity firm Warburg Pincus. They come from the infamous Warburg banking family, who were Venetian Jews and one of the wealthiest families in the world going all the way back to the 1500s. Two of Crowdstrike's top executives, Shawn Henry and Steve Chabinsky, are former FBI officials. Are you starting to get the picture? [Editor's note: And the previous US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's father, Donald M. Blinken, is reported as being a "co-founder" (Eric Warburg and Lionel Pincus) of the private equity firm Warburg Pincus with $90 billion in assets as of 2024.]

We can go back further. The first commercial antivirus software was developed by John McAfee. Remember that guy?

He tried to run for president on the Libertarian ticket in 2016 and 2020, which goes to show what a joke the Libertarian Party has become (if it was ever not a joke). Tim Dowling has McAfee's genealogy up at Geneanet, where we learn he is a Ball, Locke, Atherold, Waltham, Croxdale, Webb, and Hathaway. That makes him a relative of George Washington, King Charles, and Anne Hathaway, among many others. The Webb line takes us directly back through de Richmonds and de Burghs to the Plantagenets, meaning he is European royalty. He was also born on a British U.S. Army base, and his mother is English, so the royal blood is likely even more recent. He worked for NASA, Lockheed, and Booz Allen Hamilton before starting his antivirus software company—all major red flags. McAfee allegedly died in 2021, but his own ex-girlfriend claims he faked his death. Do you think that bozo was ever involved in anything real? His whole life, including his death, was a scam, and that goes for his antivirus software, too. Anyone who ever had McAfee software on their computer knows it acted more like a virus than an antivirus, slowing your computer way down and bugging out constantly. But I don't mean a scam in that way. I mean the whole virus vs. antivirus war was controlled from both sides, just like physical wars. So the move from defense contracting to antivirus software makes a lot of sense.

Can we tie major cyberattacks back to U.S. intelligence? Of course we can.
The WannaCry ransomware attack was a worldwide cyberattack in May 2017 by the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm, which targeted computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system by encrypting data and demanding ransom payments in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. It was propagated using EternalBlue, an exploit developed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) for Windows systems. EternalBlue was stolen and leaked by a group called The Shadow Brokers a month prior to the attack.
Wikipedia is writing my paper for me at this point. One of the biggest cyberattacks in history used an exploit created by the NSA, yet we are supposed to believe the NSA had nothing to do with the attack. But wait, why would Microsoft allow the NSA to create its own private back door into its operating system? That is explicitly what Wikipedia tells us. The obvious answer is that both Microsoft and the NSA are simply different departments of the same company. And how on-the-nose is a group calling themselves "The Shadow Brokers"? They might as well call themselves The Hidden Hand of Phoenicia or The Isle of Man Bugbears. But who are they?
