'Cyber attack war games' to be staged by UK and US



The UK and US are to carry out "war game" cyber attacks on each other as part of a new joint defence against online criminals. The first exercise, a staged attack on the financial sector, will take place later this year, Downing Street said. The "unprecedented" arrangement between the two countries was announced by Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of talks with US President Barack Obama. The two men discussed a range of other issues, including counter-terrorism. They are holding a press conference in the Oval Office of The White House after talks lasting about an hour. Mr Cameron has previously said in relation to cyber attacks that there should be no "means of communication" which "we cannot read". He is expected to talk to the US president about getting companies such as Google and Facebook to allow governments to view encrypted messages. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-30842669  BBC






The meeting between Cameron and Obama took place on Jan.15, on the very day the Sun entered sidereal Capricorn.  Shown here is the chart for this important event drawn for Washington DC. Notice the skewed Grand Cross straddling the meridian. Here Uranus [13ar]  is conjunct the  IC [20ar] and the asteroid Arachne [22ar].  Since Arachne [1] is about webs, Arachne-Uranus together  is about computer networks including the internet. Opposite this combination on the MC is the TNP Zeus is linked with the military and by association with warfare. Finally Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn represents a struggle between the freedom of the individual and the authoritarian power of the State so that we have in the chart all the elements that make up news story.
