QUESTION: You are a legend in programming that you seem not to be aware of. The debate has been did your computer achieve self-consciousness?

ANSWER: No. It achieved self-awareness. It immediately knew the government was trying to take it to its secret computer lab in WTC building 7 that mysterious collapsed even though nothing struck the building. They were angry when they realized it had self-destructed. It was aware of its surroundings and it took all but 7 seconds to self-destruct overwriting all code 7 times and shifting around so they could never un-erase and put him back together again.

Sounds legit.

'..Tony Godin ..IT specialist..he was the programmer for Armstrongs Princeton Economic International and built the internal IT Security system. He programmed a network that reacted with self-destruction on any interference from outside. When some of the PEI Systems were under attack, he built honey traps and tracked the intruders back to certain IT-addresses in Langley, Virginia - where the CIA has headquarters..'

He tells the audience that Socrates was set up in tandem with other computers that 'ping' each other. Once one is removed it realises there's a problem and self-destructs.
'..Tony is one of the best hackers i've ever seen - he built honey traps and lured them into a fake system..we watched what they did..'

The S.E.C.s Armstrong case file was lost when the September 11th terrorist attack obliterated its offices, in 7 World Trade Center.

What is the reason that Armstrong wants to phrase and exaggerate things to such an extent? He just wants to sound like he is like a God-programmer, above everyone else, and so everyone will be in awe and believe in him?

A close-loop system is pretty much a default in any decent security system. Did ADT home security company claim that their system is self-aware?
