A translation of the screenshot says \u201cChoose Attack Target,\u201d and then the operator selects an IP address, 138.26.72.17. There\u2019s also a big \u201cAttack\u201d button on screen. You may be wondering: Where is that IP address is located? We have an answer: How about <a href=\"http:\/\/whatismyipaddress.com\/ip\/138.26.72.17\" target=\"_blank\">the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CCP has leaked its top secret here,\u201d Jason Ma, a commentator for New Tang Dynasty Television, told the Times. \u201cThis is the first time we see clearly that one of the top Chinese military universities is doing this research and developing software for cyber-attacks. There\u2019s solid proof of it in this video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Chinese government has long denied any such actions.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
