Electronic warfare (EW) refers to any action involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack an enemy, or impede enemy assaults via the spectrum. The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of, and ensure friendly unimpeded access to, the EM spectrum. EW can be applied from air, sea, land, and space by manned and unmanned systems, and can target communication, radar, or other services.[1] EW includes three major subdivisions: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Protection (EP), and Electronic warfare Support (ES).

Cyberwarfare has been defined by government security expert Richard A. Clarke, in his book Cyber War (May 2010), as "actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption."[1]:6 The Economist describes cyber warfare as "the fifth domain of warfare,"[2] and William J. Lynn, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, states that "as a doctrinal matter, the Pentagon has formally recognized cyberspace as a new domain in warfare . . . [which] has become just as critical to military operations as land, sea, air, and space."[3]

In 2009, President Barack Obama declared America’s digital infrastructure to be a "strategic national asset," and in May 2010 the Pentagon set up its new U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), headed by General Keith B. Alexander, director of the National Security Agency (NSA), to defend American military networks and attack other countries’ systems.

Just some points and facts to ponder while you watch the Egyptian Crisis.

And your point is?

"A Ukrainian professor of International Law, Alexander Merezhko, has developed a project called the International Convention on Prohibition of Cyberwar in Internet. According to this project, cyberwar is defined as the use of Internet and related technological means by one state against political, economic, technological and information sovereignty and independence of any other state. Professor Merezhko's project suggests that the Internet ought to remain free from warfare tactics and be treated as an international landmark. He states that the Internet (cyberspace) is a "common heritage of mankind." (Wikileaks)

Its not going to happen! The Internet and all its communications capablities are being used for cyberwarfare, and will be used for cyberwarfare, until hell freezes over!

This was found on Wikipedia, not Wikileaks! Excuse me.

My point seems pretty straight forward. Also, what does U.S. Cyber Command have to do with Egypt turning off their people's internet?

I have found many new UFO videos and posts in the past 2 weeks, could it be possible the Egyptians were blocked from spreading word of something happening that we are being filtered from knowing? Egypt is the hallmark of extraterrestrial evidence.

I've also been considering they are revolting against a FEMA like depopulation plan. Something just doesn't add up with them "uprising" so suddenly, in the first days I saw people being shot by these specialized forces that were moved into the city. Why would one go through such risk to revolt against the president, unless it was fight or die. I may be alarmed of the updates in NORTHCON and FEMA plans, but this is something to consider. The first thing that would happen logically is our communication capabilities would be shut down, transportation would follow, as it did in Egypt.

These videos were broadcast over our news stations, and can be easily found.

These people are fighting for more freedom and democracy, not for UFOs.

Man, how far away from reality can one be?!

Well they're probably being very selective with the Tweet because of controlling the news maybe?

Hi. Found these while I was on Twitter...

Somone speaking for the Muslim Brotherhood live from Egypt

www.saynow.com...

www.saynow.com...

I've been posting calls coming in from Egypt, if anyone is interested, here is the link...

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Here is another important message from a woman that lives in Egypt (from what I gathered).

www.saynow.com...

And there was one of the calls where you can clearly hear a baby or a small child in the background.

There seems to be a total blackout. I hope they're okay. Here's what I wrote a little while ago on the other thread...

The tweets from Egypt have completely and abruptly stopped. They were flowing in so fast I could hardly keep up with them. I'm getting tweets, just none from speak2tweet.
