Our Nation's back bone has been broken, we bend to threats.

America has been attacked! We have sustained permanent damage from the first cyber attack.

We have no clue, we haven't been watching, we haven't been vigilant,

We HAVE been POLITICALLY CORRECT THOUGH!

Sony Cancels Release of The Interview Amid Hacker Threats of Violence

The decision comes after the nation's largest theaters had pulled the film amid recent threats of terrorism from the "Guardians of the Peace" hackers.

"The threat received considerable attention, prompting a Department of Homeland Security official to say there is "no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters within the United States."

December 17, 2014 Sony Pictures announced Wednesday it was canceling the scheduled Christmas Day opening of The Interview amid threats from hackers warning of 9/11-scale violence if the film's release went forward.

The decision follows reports earlier in the day that the five largest movie-theater chains in the country were pulling the film in the wake of an unprecedented cyberattack on the entertainment company.

"In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release," Sony Pictures said in a statement. "We respect and understand our partners' decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers."

Shortly after Sony's announcement, CNN and other news outlets, citing unnamed senior administration officials, reported that U.S. investigators had definitively determined that North Korea was the source of the cyberattack and would formally blame the country as soon as Thursday. Many observers had suspected North Korea's government to be the culprit, though the hermetic nation has officially denied those allegations—but it has called the cyberattack a "righteous deed." The FBI is currently investigating the intrusion, which became public on Nov. 24.

But the White House has so far yet to publicly name any suspects, saying it will "provide an update at the appropriate time."

"The U.S. government is working tirelessly to bring the perpetrators of this attack to justice, and we are considering a range of options in weighing a potential response," a spokesperson for the National Security Council said.

Sony, in its statement, said it had "been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against our employees, our customers, and our business."

"Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale—all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like," the statement continued. "We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public."

Regal Entertainment, AMC Entertainment, Cinemark, Carmike Cinemas, and Cineplex Entertainment had already opted to not show the comedy—which depicts actors James Franco and Seth Rogen traveling to North Korea on a CIA-backed mission to assassinate the country's dictator, Kim Jong-un—due to the recent threats suggesting moviegoers could face violence for seeing the film, according to several reports that began circulating earlier Wednesday. Those theaters collectively account for nearly half of the 40,000 movie screens in the U.S.

The dramatic decision by Sony arrives just a day after those behind an ongoing hack on the company warned mass violence may await those who see The Interview on opening day.

"The world will be full of fear," the hacker statement read. "Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you'd better leave.) Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment."

The threat received considerable attention, prompting a Department of Homeland Security official to say there is "no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters within the United States."

Our enemies line up against us while the liberal progressive democrat machine provides political cover of noise and misdirection for their attacks.

There are uncounted and unknown (M)illions of illegal aliens already inside our borders. The media would like us to believe they are perfectly harmless.

The man occupying OUR WHITE HOUSE say's he's Christian and yet bows to muslims.

His Homeland Security has bought up almost all of the ammunition. Military equipment has been distributed to small police departments and is no longer available for use on a national scale.

Our military has been reduced by hundreds of thousands and the generals and admirals have been fired and removed.

This first successful CYBER-ATTACK shows how vulnerable our infrastructure is.

We the People stand here as defenseless as an American hostage about to be beheaded.

Where is our leadership?

Who is going to save us?

Who is next to go?
