Just out of curiosityâMaintenance Man, have you EVER disagreed with Davo?
Ah well, at least I get a response from Chad, but just out of curiosity, what about from you Don⌠HERE and HERE
âYet once more will I shake the heavens and the earth, until only that which cannot be shaken remains.â
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.
âCome 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.â
You knowâŚat first, I was against president Trump. But we are not at war, with China or RussiaâŚI donât see my name, in the obituariesâŚThe country is not destroyedâŚEtcâŚSo let things play out.
Sure, folks might challenge things. And they will change them.
Like the states, challenging the travel ban
or
Lobbyist groupsâŚlike the AMA or AARPâŚobjecting to the current, Republican health care overall. And I agree. The AARP objects to the âageâ clause, causing high pricesâŚfor the 50 - 64 age group. I agreeâŚscratch that provisionâŚAnd 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 toâŚin tonightâs 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 Trumpâs false statement that Obama wiretapped his NY skyscraper. Spicer said, âThe President used the word âwiretapâ to mean broadly surveillance and other activities.â Spicer also suggested that Trump wasnât 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 âwiretapâ and âsurveillanceâ as identical. Wiretapping is pretty much an outdated word now with the hi-tech technology around now. General Flynn was "wiretappedâ 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 Obamaâs administration⌠But he still meant wiretapping. Why do you think the U.S. Justice Department is trying to find evidence that the Obama administration wiretapped Trumpâs phones at the Trump Tower? If they donât take Trumpâs 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.
Hereâs an interesting article, in todayâs 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.
That doesnât 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 ispâs money-grubbing, ethics-be-damned assault on my privacy?
And how would they be collecting the data, Dave? Thatâs 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 itâs quite nice and a VPN is recommended, for public Wi-Fi
Or you can enter the world, of the âdark webâ. 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.
Letâs read a nice, BBC article from today:
Campaigners seek âto sell US politiciansâ browsing dataâ
Yesterday, Comcast had an internet outage. I noticed their name servers werenât functioning. And I noticed Google on Google Chrome, was using itâs 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 âbold and braveâ:
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? Iâll 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 âdark webâ 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:
Thanks. I use a VPN that costs a couple bucks a month, no logs, works great.
As a , I think VPNâs on a consumer level are used primary to hide illegal activity when it comes to copyright infringement. Business has legitimate uses for them, we use them constantly. But for personal use? I suppose if you are paranoid that your activities are tracked, then sure, but then one has to ask: What are you hiding that you donât want others to know? Again, I believe most consumers uses them for illegal activities. Things that VPNs are used for the common level are:
VPN+Tor:
Child Porn Rings
Regular Pirated Porn Rings
Region Locking Software
Peer 2 Peer Sharing of copyright infringed data such as TV shows, Movies, Video Games, Music, Books, etcâŚ
Most people I ever met who are technical enough to use a VPN are typically doing illegal activities with them. All of them? No⌠But I have been a techie for 25+ years and a professional with it for 18+ years⌠No way can you convince me that the majority use it for legitimate reasons. Some do, yes, but by and far that is not the reason most use a VPN.
Edit ** BTW, if you think you are safe via running one with a privacy policy that doesnât keep logs, think again⌠Unless you can personally see the server configuration that logs are disabled, you are putting trust that they are being truthful with it. Secondary, you are assuming those VPN servers are not compromised in some way. With all the information leaks and tools the NSA were discovered to have, I wouldnât count on being as anonymous as you think.
