Islamic State Falls Victim to Western Film Stereotype - Destroys Own Computer Network  (SAT PAR News Sep 06, 2014) The Islamic State, the extremist militants fighting in IRAQ with bases in Syria and also known as ISIS and ISIL may have dealt a greater injury to themselves then in all of their war campaigns to their enemy's. An informer has told Sat Par news that the IS leaders decided that based on the idea from western movies that young computer geniuses can hack and defeat any system, hired a 10 year old computer wizard to bring down Europe and American computer and mobile systems. While the informer was able to see that the kid was the best gamer in the world, he also saw that he was not that great at system hacking, due in part to the time spent playing games. When the child attempted to mask his computer origin by creating a hidden proxy server (a server that will mask your identify and issue connections and commands for you) - something he never attempted before - he inadvertently wiped data from all the IS computers and devices. The informer who wished to remain anonymous had worked in IT and described what happened, "This kid while brilliant, was doing something he knew nothing about! He connected all the IS devices with a hidden untraceable protocol - that part was smart, but when he set up the proxy server he instructed it to flush out the network for a clean start. He thought that meant the internet signals, but the command he issued meant all data, everywhere, even in caches. Everything is gone!" Lost were battle plans, bomb making instructions, tactical methods, blueprints of major city buildings, background files on fighters, basically everything IS used to successfully roll over Iraq was now gone, including all future plans. IS has not commented so far, this may in part be due to their templates for press responses were also deleted.

China Creates "Groundhog Day" Computer Forcing Citizens Backwards in Time - Every Day (SAT PAR News Aug 06, 2014) Though the 1993 film "Groundhog Day" with actor Bill Murray is an enjoyable fantasy for most people where the same day occurs over and over again, China has taken it seriously and made the concept policy in all of networked China. Using the computer equivalent of a massive DVR (Digital Video Recorder) a huge underground warehouse of supercomputers stored August 1, 2014 as the final day of all events in China. All new computer based transactions are intercepted and processed through the "Grand Temporal Filter One" as it is officially called.  This means in effect that any computer or phone activity will never progress past that date. News, government forms, laws, personal messaging, emails, any digital information will only respond up to that date. While ordinary citizens are stunned, historians are somewhat mollified that the past is preserved, but as each day goes by they note there is no new history, Sima Qian grandson with the same name of the famous historian notes, "It is like the world ended on August 1, and we live in a time capsule". Meanwhile demonstrations have broken out over failure to register babies being born and obtaining drivers licenses. The Chinese government released a statement today, "We are actively decreasing citizen activity to regulate growth and improve the economy. New activity will begin when stabilization has occurred."
