CEO's Plan Emergency Network
'CEO Link' to be deployed by corporate round table
The head honchos of many of the country's largest corporations are designing a network that would allow them to communicate with the government and one another during emergencies, according to NewsBytes. The planned system, showing the usual creativity of many high level executives, would be called "CEO Link" and is being designed by a corporate roundtable made up of 150 CEO's from companies that generate more than $3.5 trillion in annual revenue.

This is making me nervous

First we have a 'Shadow Government', then a 'Shadow Boeing', now a 'Shadow Network'. They keep this up, I'm going to start stocking up on ammo and toilet paper. So many unanswered questions and new ideas. I'm beginning to think that Ridge is making this up as he goes along. "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my...." All I have to say is if the world is going to end, at least I have a good seat in the front row.

Is the Shadow Boeing you refer to the one from 9-11 that our government said hit the Pentagon?
I was shocked also to find out that NO Airliner hit it.

If anyone actual thinks one did, try and find ONE photo of it. I even re-watched the videos I made on Sep 11-12. No airplane! Amazing!

Re: This is making me nervous

You got it. All I'm asking for is some proof. I was flipping through a Newsweek from September last night. Just one photo of the Pentagon incident. All I saw was a charred building and a smashed construction hut (with the other hut in tact). Yes, that exact location was under some remodeling. If this is a cover up, what's more disturbing is the true location of Flight 77 and it's passengers.

Yea I have gone thru that find the Boeing thing. It made me suspecious. What made me moreso what the latest video which was released. Someone had a video camer going right at the building at the time.

Now don't ask me why, maybe it was a security camera. And maybe that explains why several frames are not there and its basically turned into snap shots.

In any event, that 'video' clearly showed the explosion as it started up. NO PLANE, no parts flying, nothing. I saw the planes at the WTF (ad infinitum..). This one is certainly missing. Could it have been shot down, and a missle hit the pentagon? If so, where did it land? Why havent we heard about it?

Also, how many of you remember that during the day there were 8 planes missing, but by the time I got home from work, it somehow turned into 4 without any accounting of the rest??

Re: Yea I saw that

Of course, there are the number of reports and eye-witnesses that reported watching the plane smash into the building. Right after the incident, people were being interviewed saying that they watched it.

Or, the fact that there is an airliner missing, that people on the airliner are missing.

But, this 2002, and nobody believes anything unless they can see a picture.

Well, even back in 1972, many folks were convinced that the Apollo 11 landing was faked. (Probably the same folks who believed the fake photos of UFOs swarming over New Mexico someplace.)

Joanne was passing by the Pentagon, late for work as usual and saw the shadow over I-95 then felt the shock. NO ONE around here ever said they saw a plane, we were all under the impression the plane hit just BEFORE the pentagon. And the shock wave and skidding caused the damage to the pentagon.

Great Idea.

Imagine the brain power of 150 CEO's all connected together. The synergy alone might light a small desk lamp. And if they leveraged them, they could probably work the pencil sharpener too.

The banks have had their own stealth network for years - they use it to pass around security threats, etc., and they have direct access to the feds as well. I sleep better knowing that the entire financial system of our country is wired to some low-level government bureaucrat.

BTW, it's good to have ammo and TP in good supply anyway - don't wait for the government to give you another reason to be paranoid. Do what I do - assume they are already reading my brainwaves through my Palm Pilot, and stock up for the apocalypse

... welcome to DARPAnet II ? - a reprise:

... ca. 1963 or 4, height of the cold war, a group of academics was discussing a very similar idea with DARPA, the defense advanced research projects agency... a few years later, BBNplanet installed the very first router on the "internet", and made a computer talk to another computer... but for a project that sounded virtually identical to this, we wouldn't be holding this discussion, right now... Funny...

In a serious vein, why should sensitive channels of communication be placed in an inherently insecure, shared public network, anyway? We don't have an extranet, yet? That's what surprises me.... and look what that seed planted in the late sixties became? Who believed, then, that it would follow the direction it has, and become what it's become? Heck, the top people in the industry thought the idea of even a basic computer in the home would be exhorbitantly expensive, useless and the stuff of Sci-Fi ... much less that connection to the internet would ever be a realistic practical option...

No, the internet, itself, wasn't designed "for us." Let's never, ever make that mistake. It was designed for the "military industrial complex", and for academia, as a redundant, durable network to provide dependable real time computing collaboration and communications... that we found it so useful is just a happy coincidence. Nobody ever believed it would happen, back then...

You never know where the next gold strike might be.

I just LOVE this paranoia!!!

Afraid of the word SHADOW??? Been watching too many conspiracy theory shows. X-Files?

I must be part of the conspircy because I installed a SHADOW T-1 for one of my clients. I am now setting up a SHADOW IP backbone for another client between their offices (in the wake of 9-11). ISPs have SHADOW connections if primaries fail.

Get a life!!!

It is responsible for companies to plan for diaster recovery and have fallback connectivity. Just-In-Time manufacturing and high speed financial systems need this.

Grow up!!!

CEO Link = GETS for the private sector

(GETS: »gets.ncs.gov/ )

It would make much more sense to expand what's already in place to include the Internet and more of the private sector (private companies *can* get access to GETS if sponsored by the public sector -- I know this as FACT) than to try to build Yet Another Parallel Network like this...

Is this robust?

I wonder how robust a wireless telephone network would be in such a situation. The last few major hurricanes in Florida shut down virtually all forms of long distance communication except high frequency bands such as those used by ham radio. Wireless is great until the towers come down (which they do). If they are planning to rely on wired connections, why won't the existing Internet work just fine?

Re: Is this robust?

The bigger question is WHY would the professional business sector even need to talk to the government in such a tragedy? At that point most businesses would be inoperable and at least temporarily shut down and the military/governmental machine would kick-in, taking control of the situation. I don't see why any businesses would need their own intranet connected to a government system. Perhaps city and state utilities so we could communicate in case of a terrorist attack on a nuclear, electrical or water treatment plant. But why would Microsoft or UPS (insert major corporation here) need to covertly communicate with the government in time of a tragedy? I don't get it.

Let it be hacked...

I can't wait until some terrorist's group figures out how to break into this CEO link and steal info then it would be pointless... or maybe some kids breaking in and getting some stock tips or other info. Basically the CEO link is the new Enron pay sytem... private link to DC and all the people you wish to bribe... After reading those articles about the conspiracy on 9/11 and them talk of nuclear bombs and shadow government I think I should start stock piling things like said before on this board.. or maybe move to canada. Who will take the time to bomb them? We hardly know they are there.(j/k)
