“Information as warfare” requires operational commanders to employ intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to dominate the information realm even as they direct combat actions, according to the US Navy’s senior intelligence officer.

“We’re great at strike warfare -– dropping bombs. It’s now time for the Navy, and frankly the U.S. joint forces, to step up and start dealing with information in a much more sophisticated manner than they have in the past,” said Vice Adm. David J. “Jack” Dorsett.

“Part of the job dealing with information dominance is looking at information from one end to the other: from sensors to networks to transport to exploitation dissemination. One of the principles for information dominance is, every platform needs to be a sensor and every sensor needs to be networked.”

Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, announced in October 2009 the Navy was combining its intelligence directorate, communications networks and related information technology capabilities into the information dominance organization.

My comment;

Revelation 13:4 says;

“They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”

The US Military is engaged in a brave fight against terrorism, and for that they deserve our thanks and our prayers. But this fight against terrorism is also producing some bad fruits, most notably a massive increase in the power of the tools governments have to monitor ordinary people. For now we have governments that are using it to protect us from evil men, but the Bible tells us that different government is coming.

This equipment and technology is being developed, tested and perfected now, and later it will indeed be impossible to “wage war” against the Beast with physical means.

The only weapons that we will have then are the only weapons that we have now, prayer/fasting, Bible study and fellowship with fellow Believers.

Ephesians 6:12;

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
