Ah well, at least I get a response from Chad, but just out of curiosity, what about from you Donā¦ HERE and HERE
āYet once more will I shake the heavens and the earth, until only that which cannot be shaken remains.ā
There is no answer in either party, they are mutually, in the majority, parties sold in bondage to their patrons, those who operate as predators and hidden kings in the earth.
āCome here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.ā
You knowā¦at first, I was against president Trump. But we are not at war, with China or Russiaā¦I donāt see my name, in the obituariesā¦The country is not destroyedā¦Etcā¦So let things play out.
Sure, folks might challenge things. And they will change them.
Like the states, challenging the travel ban
or
Lobbyist groupsā¦like the AMA or AARPā¦objecting to the current, Republican health care overall. And I agree. The AARP objects to the āageā clause, causing high pricesā¦for the 50 - 64 age group. I agreeā¦scratch that provisionā¦And I would probably agree, with the AMA objections. But the GOP can fix it and adjust it - if they are smart.
In the meantime, I have more important things to do. Like seeing what the bad rulers and Zombies are up toā¦in tonightās AMC Walking Dead episode.
Those zombies aint exactly holy fools

Now that would be something to see. A Holy Fool, who is now a Zombie.
Recently, Sean Spicer, Whitehouse spokesmen has explained away Trumpās false statement that Obama wiretapped his NY skyscraper. Spicer said, āThe President used the word āwiretapā to mean broadly surveillance and other activities.ā Spicer also suggested that Trump wasnāt accusing Obama specifically, but instead was referring to the actions of the Obama administration.

Paidion did you really think Trump meant Obama himself wiretapped Trump Tower? And yes i would use the words āwiretapā and āsurveillanceā as identical. Wiretapping is pretty much an outdated word now with the hi-tech technology around now. General Flynn was "wiretappedā talking to the Russian ambassador while Flynn was in Trump Tower so maybe they were surveilling the Russian Ambassador, maybe Flynn, maybe Trump Tower, maybe everyone? Do you know?

Yes, he may have meant Obamaās administrationā¦ But he still meant wiretapping. Why do you think the U.S. Justice Department is trying to find evidence that the Obama administration wiretapped Trumpās phones at the Trump Tower? If they donāt take Trumpās statement literally, it seems a fruitless effort.

NPR is not the best source. Plus - they have not passed any bill yet. We have to see it to pass it, unlike ACA.
Hereās an interesting article, in todayās Christian Patheos site.:
Was the Apostle Paul the Biblical Equivalent of the Most Loyal Trump Supporter?
Qaz - you may be right. The fools might actually do that.
Disgusting is the proper word.
Republicans in Congress have passed a bill to allow internet service providers to sell their customersā browsing history.
That doesnāt stop us nerds, though. There are many ways to mask it or keep it from prying eyes.
Randy - for those of us without the N-gene or the G-gene: if such a law is passed, what are the strategies you suggest?
Will the fact that I use a private internet access (PIA) be any protection against my ispās money-grubbing, ethics-be-damned assault on my privacy?

And how would they be collecting the data, Dave? Thatās the key question. Well, you can do various things.
Like install a Firefox or Google Chrome plug-in called Ghostery. Quite excellent, mind you.
Work behind a VPN service. A good one is Express VPN. And itās quite nice and a VPN is recommended, for public Wi-Fi
Or you can enter the world, of the ādark webā. Like with a tool called Tor.
Much depends on how they are collecting data, whom they are collecting it from, which companies are cooperating and what court challenges (I.e. tech companies, ACLU, etc.) are in place.
Letās read a nice, BBC article from today:
Campaigners seek āto sell US politiciansā browsing dataā
Yesterday, Comcast had an internet outage. I noticed their name servers werenāt functioning. And I noticed Google on Google Chrome, was using itās own name servers, for searches. I switched the router to OpenDNS, with extra security filters. And have the IP stuff, for Norton Safe Connect, in case of any OpenDNS, name server issues. Now I just keep OpenDNS, as an extra security layer.
And for the benefit, of the ābold and braveā:
Note: If you do something like use TOR, you should do, what the article suggests - get a VPN. I can neither confirm nor deny, I ever used TOR or visited the dark web.
P.S. I meant to use the words Deep Web in this post, rather than Dark Web.
Thanks Randy. Dark web? Iāll have to read up a bit.
Thanks Randy. Dark web? Iāll have to read up a bit.
Dark web, Dave, is a subset of the Deep Web. I should have used the words Deep Web. More on deep web at:
How Mysterious Is The Deep Web?
As far as the ādark webā goes, this quote sums up my advice:

I got this interesting article today, from Anonymity Newsletter. Since we are talking about VPNs, I will share it here:
What Is A VPN? And How Does It Protect Your Anonymity?
I am going to share with you all one of the very best tools you can use to regain your anonymity online.
What Is a VPN And How Do They Protect Your Anonymity?
A VPN consistās of a group of computers networked over a public network such as the internet. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. VPNās allow users to access a network remotely and share information through a public network.
A VPN protects your data online just like firewall protects your computer. A Virtual Private Network will help you to access websites that you would not be able to access if you were not on a VPN.

Good VPN providers use either 128 or 256 bit encryption to make the information you transmit over the internet unreadable by anyone else except for the VPN server you are connecting to with the key.
This means that not even your internet service provider (ISP) will know what you are doing online. The best VPN companies will keep NO LOGS on your activities.
In this day and age where there is more snooping and spying on your internet usage it is imperative that you take all possible actions to prevent them from doing so.
Why you need to use VPN?
VPNs are extremely popular with companies that want to secure their data and access their data centers remotely. The popularity of VPN among individual internet user is also become popular because of the increasing number of malicious prying eyes on the internet.
Therefore, if you are handling sensitive information on you simply want to prevent any of your data from falling into unwanted hands, use a Virtual Private Network.
You should still be using one even if you use the Tor network for a number of reasons.
Your ISP and the government can tell you are using Tor, with a VPN they can not. You can not access normal websites via Tor so these government agencies and third parties are still gathering all the information on you as they can and recording it all to use.
If you upload, download or share via P2P any files that are pirated then this will hide what you are doing. There are companies in the USA and abroad that are tracking the people uploading and downloading and building a database of these users for possible prosecution.
A VPN can stop your ISP from throttling your internet speed because they can not tell how much data you are transferring when encrypted.
You can use a VPN to stream Netflix, HULU, YouTube, Pandora, Spotify etc from where ever you are in the world as many countries block these services.
You can also get the USA version of these services at the US price.
How VPN Works?
VPNs consist of a combination of connection and encryption protocols.
The best VPNās today are extremely user friendly as all you have to do is a couple of clicks and you are protected.
This prevents snoopers from getting access to your information. Even if they manage to siphon some of your data, they will not be able to access it because it is encrypted.
In addition, VPNs help to hide your physical location. No one will ever know the location you really are. Your actual IP address will be replaced by the IP of the VPN provider.
You might be living in Sydney but appear to be in London. When using VPN, you will be able to access the information you want in the internet unanimously.
If you are looking for a good VPN then you can find a good one here at this site. This site even tested them with Tor, I havenāt found one other website that tests VPNās with Tor.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Not all VPNās are created equally!
Make sure to check the fine print in the āPrivacy Policyā as some VPN companies keep logs of your activity while connected. This goes against the whole point of using a VPN.
The best companies do not keep logs so make sure you get one that doesnāt to protect your anonymity.
Thanks. I use a VPN that costs a couple bucks a month, no logs, works great.
