Using Single Passwords

Posted in Abuse of Power, Border wall, Bribes, Christian values, Credit Card Fraud, FOC by

If I have heard it once, I have heard it a thousand times, “Don’t use the same password for all your accounts.” Sound advice. Unfortunately, by law, we effectively must use one password issued by the Social Security Administration. That is right. I have a Social Security Number and so do most people. And, as the sound advice above suggests, if someone has my SSN, it is very easy for them to steal my identity.

Now let’s see. My hospital has the number. My bank has the number. Many of those who dealt with me when I was in the Marines conceivably have my number, as my SSN was also my service number. At one time, I was actually required to put my SSN on my mail, on the envelope, on the outside, for everyone to see. I’m surprised that no one stole a bunch of IDs when that first came about.

I don’t know how we solve the problem. I’m not sure the Feds want it solved. After all, it isn’t their problem. Besides, I think those in power like controlling everyone with one number from infancy till death. They likely find it far easier, same as us using one number for all our accounts. They use but one number to keep track of us all.

However, there is one possibility, maybe two. I heard a suggestion for passwords that just might work for SSNs; Use the same number as now, but with the addition of 3, maybe 4 letters. The letters would be easy to remember. Only the feds and the person would know these four letters. If a situation arises where someone is using a questionable number, the rightful person could simply identify himself with the letters. The imposter could go to jail.

The second would be similar but the different. The person with the number would suggest a phrase, maybe as many as 10 or 15 words. The words would be easy to remember, easier than the numbers in the previous idea. The phrase would be used similarly.

Actually, there is another way, simpler. Shoot anyone steeling someone else’s ID. I guarantee that would work.

Okay. I agree. That is extreme. Let’s not go that far. Nonetheless, we need to make sure these thieves pay the price. It needs to be divided into 3 groups. There are those who make the theft possible, for instance those producing false IDs, credit cards, or the like. There are those who use the counterfeit products and then there are those who use the products for their personal gain.

Each, when caught, should be punished severely. I would suggest 10 to 20 years. It is far worse than the theft of money. If people are caught and punished as such, the ID thievery would greatly decrease.

Is it going to happen? I doubt it. It seems those who have the power to manage such things aren’t interested. It doesn’t benefit the lawyers and, at this point, it has not gotten enough noise. As they say, the squeaky gear gets the oil. So, until something is done, may I suggest you be very careful with your SSN, well as much as you can.

I Know Nothing Defense

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Bribes by

Old Joe has decided to use the old “I know nothing.” defense for years now. Of course the words were made famous by John Banner in the character of Sgt Schultz on the relatively popular Hogan’s Heroes. Of course it was not always the same. Sometimes it was, “I hear nothing.” or “I see nothing.”

For quite a while now, it appeared that the method was going to work for Old Joe but here lately, it would appear that the defense is starting to fall apart. That is to say, it is developing cracks. Like, “If you knew nothing, why did you keep getting money from Hunter’s business deals.” “Why does Hunter complain that Pops keeps taking half of it.” “If you know nothing, why are you so quick to deny anything to do with what Hunter does or says.”

Actually, the defense is far older than Hogan’s Heroes. I don’t know who first used the defense but it started with the words, “Plausible deniability.” It is at least as old as Al Capone and I am sure he learned of it from some of his friends. The idea is simple. You let the thugs do all the bad stuff and you never soil your fingers with it. If your thugs get caught, they are punished and you go free. You provide a good lawyer for the thugs. If they get convicted, no big deal. They get a big payoff when they leave the big-house.

This one just might have a few twists though. I don’t think Hunter likes the idea of going to prison. Before he is locked up, we just might find out how well he sings.

There is one other aspect that is different. Old Joe just might not outlive the deal. After all he is getting old. He is losing his mind. Even if Hunter does turn state’s evidence, Old Joe just might be found incapable of assisting in his defense. You can’t convict a man like that. At best, you can confine him to a place where… hum m. Just where do you confine folks who are guilty but you can’t prove it. The old man just might get away with it yet. He just might have a big laugh from that old folks home, the one with the view and the eight-man staff just for him. That is of course, beside the secret service agents.

Success

I have had no formal training as an evangelist. If I were fortunate enough to address an audience of a hundred and 3 of them made decisions to accept Jesus as their savior, I would consider it a success. If it were 5, I would be ecstatic.

I guess most preachers would hope for something greater than that; maybe 10 or 12. I mean, when the plan of salvation is presented, it is usually rejected. I really don’t have the foggiest idea why. It is really a good thing to accept Jesus as your savior. Yet, many reject him. I suspect, mostly the things of this world are more important to them than their eternal souls.

Well, some have better success than others. Billy Graham certainly had his success. He had a mostly simple straightforward way to present the plan of salvation and certainly God did his part. Paul, the one who wrote much of the New Testament presented the gospel to his thousands, and in a way, he is still helping to persuade people to accept the Lord today through the printed word.

A person might ask, who could possibly be more successful than that? Yet there is one, percentage-wise, who has us all beat. Moreover, he had a very simple sermon. “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Simple and straightforward as it was, it apparently had 100% effectiveness. Everyone who heard the words repented and worshiped God.

Wow! I wish I could have that kind of success. However, there were two more things that made the conversion different. First, Jonah did just about all he could to keep it all from happening. He hated the people of Nineveh and he did not want to see them saved. In other words, perhaps the most successful preacher in history wanted to be an outright failure. Secondly, when the people repented God relented and did not destroy the city. Now that angered Jonah and he pitched a fit. (my interpretation)

In essence, it appeared God used Jonah’s rebellion for success. After all, it was very likely that the people of that great city knew of Jonah and what all he went through to keep from going to the city. When they saw Jonah arrive, when they all saw the sad expression on Jonah’s face, the people likely decided that God did really did mean it and that if they didn’t repent something bad was going to happen.

Now, that was success. Oddly, it was his determination to fail that made it succeed. It does make me wonder. What would have happened if Jonah would have done as he was told immediately. Maybe his success would have been 80% or 70%. I don’t know. It’s a guess and likely not a good one. Maybe, had Jonah done as he was told, no one would have listened and the city would have been destroyed, which was the very thing Jonah wanted.

At any rate, the people of that great city backslid and went back to their previous ways. Then, God did as he said he would. The city was destroyed so badly that some doubted the story of Jonah. No one could find the city. Then, one day they did. They not only found proof of its existence but also of its destruction. I have no idea if Jonah lived to see it or not. At any rate, those people did have their second chance and they ignored it.

I just wonder, how much is God going take from the US before he destroys this great country? At this point, I’m not sure we are not that much better than Nineveh. How long will God allow us to ignore his messengers and destroy the US?

Just as He destroyed that great city, He can also destroy this great nation. He needs no one’s permission and He need not send any warnings. We have the examples of the Bible. If we ignore them, then we will likely ignore any other warnings.

Certainly, one of those things that He will not overlook is the killing of babies. Children are very special to Him. Calling it family planning does not make it look one iota better to Him

Reference, My post “What’s in a Name” this date

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Bribes, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, Social Media by

In my previous post, I said I could not find the quote. Well I did. It was on CNN by Dana Bash. Others might have said it too, but, according to Fox News and the Internet, she did make the statement though I did not get it exact.

What she said was “Taking politics aside, if you change the name from Hunter Biden to Joe Smith, you would say, ‘You know what, that’s not fair.'”

Truth is if his name was Joe Smith, all those from other countries would not have given him 20 million. Fact is, it was because his name was Hunter Biden that he got all the money. It was because he relied on the name while he made the deals. If his name had been Joe Smith, he would not have been able to make two cents.

That is why it is a bribe. That is why it is and should be illegal. That is why both he and his father ought to take up residency in a federal pen. However, it is because of reporters like Dana Bash that they likely won’t. That’s okay. They won’t get away with it. Whatever they don’t pay for in this life, they will suffer for in the next. By the way, that goes for the Dana Bashes (reporters) of the country. They will pay for their part too. They know that they are all part of the aiding and abetting squad. They all know that they have all taken their part in false witnessing.

What’s in a Name?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden by

Just heard a quote from the White House, sorry I don’t know who. I tried to look it up but couldn’t find it. Maybe those who run the internet decided it was a good idea to remove it. At any rate the woman said that if you change Hunter’s last name to Smith, no one would pay any attention to anything he did.

The micro-second question to the statement is simple. How many Smiths are there in this world that have made 20 million dollars doing nothing. I submit, Indeed, Hunter used his last name to make the money… by doing nothing.

Moreover, if someone by the name of Smith did make his fortune the way Hunter Biden did, he’d have been behind the big walls years ago. In fact, I doubt there are many Smiths that would try such a thing. Hunter does it because he knows he is protected by Pops. However, if things keep collapsing, even Pops might not be able to protect him. Pops just might not be able to protect himself. I am actually somewhat surprised that one of his puppeteers has asked him to step aside already. Then again, all they need is a puppet to accomplish their goal. However, they do need one that does not keep falling down and asleep.

What They Promise

Posted in AARP, Abuse of Power, AOC, Being woke, Biden, Cancel Culture, CDC, Climate Change, Communism, Communist Takover by

Ever since Marx, they have been promising communism, the paradise on earth where everyone is equal and no one goes hungry. Stalin and Lenin promised everyone they would never go hungry again. What they gave the Russian people was another dictatorship. What Mao promised was the idealistic world of communism. What the Chinese got was a world of hunger, war, and strife. And oh yes… another dictator; a heartless ruler that killed millions some for little more than sneezing.

What Castro promised was the idealistic world of communism where all would be treated equally and everyone would have an equal education. Of course, some of his friends were more equal than everyone else. Shortly after the revolution, the people figured it out and fled the island “paradise.” They did so knowing they might not make it. They did so knowing they might die. They just knew the dictatorship they had was worse than death.

It happens every time it is tried. They offer paradise but what they give you is a ruthless dictator. Those who were in on the promise of equality got to be equal and those that were not part of the revolution, well, they were just another one of the surfs.

The process is being repeated today, right here in this country. They are promising communism. They are promising equality. They are promising paradise. They are trying to tell you that the black people will be treated as well or better than the whites.

Yet. If it is permitted to play out to its end, as in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and all those other places, the results most certainly be a dictatorship. Even more, you won’t likely find any Black people as part of it. Remember, this is the party of Democrats, the party of slavery, the party of Margaret Sanger, the party of Woodrow Wilson ( the president who segregated the armed forces ) and it is the party of Andrew Jackson, the president who ordered the Trail of Tears for the Indians.

The dictator who takes over will likely be a white man and he will surround himself with white men. Women need not apply. Black men need not apply. Asians need not apply. Jews need not apply. It will likely be a very limited membership.

And guess what folks. Guess what. After that, there will be nowhere to run. The communism will be on a rampage. There will be no equality world wide. There will be no paradise anywhere on the globe. Many will prefer to die than to continue to live in such a place. And there will be nowhere to go. There will be no freedom. There will be no equality, unless you want to think of suffering everywhere as equality.

And, may I remind one and all. Every time a so-called communist regime takes over, millions die. In Russia, it was about ten million. In China, likely twice that, though no one really knows. In Cuba, about a forth of the population. I suppose, in a way, if they manage such a revolution here, the ones who live will be the ones who suffer.

If They Would Just….

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Controllers by

Most of us just want to do our work each day and hope the rest of the world would just leave us alone.

When I say the rest of the world, what do I mean? Well, there are the thieves. Their attitude is that whatever they can take will be theirs. I mean, they steal from the stores. They steal from the banks and they steal our cars. Through what some call it white collar crime, they steal our identity and they steal our property. Moreover, on the large scale, they steal our country. This is generally little by little and bit by bit. Even the slow train gets there eventually as the slow thief eventually takes what is ours, even to and including our freedom.

The problem is that they just won’t leave us alone. We bar our doors. We arm ourselves and we put bars on our windows. Yet, the stealing persist. The bars and windows only work for a while but the thieves persist. We have police and court systems but they can only do so much. From what I understand there are people that steal homes, somewhat with the blessing of our systems.

There are, of course the killers. Some use guns. Some use dope. Some even use automobiles. The truth is that a knife can kill someone just as dead as a gun and it is not nearly as easy to trace. For that matter, a rock will work and has been used many times in the commission of a murder.

That’s right. Those thieves and killers are after us and they just won’t leave us alone. But it is more than that. The casinos are after our money and many politicians seek our freedom. My question is what do they offer in return. The casinos say they are fun. They are for enjoyment. Seems strange to me. I never did like giving away my hard earned money. The politicians offer equality and safety. They tell us that we can’t take care of ourselves so they will.

That is an old ploy. It is what the surf policy of the dark ages promised. You pay homage to the royalty and the royalty will keep the nearby city state from taking over. If they take over, then you will owe homage to the other royalty. In a way, it seems odd. Does it really matter if we have to pay our taxes to the present king or the one that takes over.

At any rate, that went on for a while. Then the city states started grouping together. It was still the surf system but larger. London became Britain. Paris became France. Other little city states were swallowed up. Some kingdoms became history, but not much. Today, most folks don’t know most of the kingdoms that were gobbled up. There was a little war here. There was a little war there. Before you know it, there is no longer a country of Wales. Normandy is suddenly just an area of France and Alsace Loraine becomes a little piece of land for two countries to fight over.

Meanwhile, the citizens of the world keep calling out, “If they would just leave me alone!”

Why is all this you ask? To be sure there are three reasons. It started after the flood with a man called Nimrod. He was a man who set himself against God by his disobedience. His desire was to keep the world population together while God told them to spread out. In essence, Nimrod was the first one who wanted world control.

God stopped the effort by giving them different languages, which accomplished his command for them to spread out. Ever since, there have been those who wanted to rule the world and some had some success. The Pharaoh, the king of Babylon, of Persia, of Greece, and so on and so on, etc, etc.

My guess is that I don’t know all those who had set their goal to control the ancient world. I mean, there were men in Asia, Africa, and northern Europe as well as those we study in and around central Asia. It was and is a goal of Satan. If one man controls the world, then he can control the world by controlling the one man.

Certainly there are those who just like to control things. You put ten men in a room and one of them will want to control the other nine. Most of the rest will be followers. I don’t know why this is but it is. Hence, the knights, the kings, the emperors all sought ultimate control. Rarely, occasionally, they had good reasons. After all, one man united Europe just it time to keep them from being overrun by the Moors, who came up through Spain with the intention of ruling Europe.

Then, you have those who want to rule the world by religion. I don’t mean Christianity, I mean religion. In essence the largest of all empires was that of the Roman Catholic Church. Though it passed itself off as a religion, it was nothing more than another method of world domination. Those who spoke contrary to it were in danger of losing their life. That is not Christianity. That is another form of controlling, no better than any other at the time.

So, when a person seeks to be left alone by those who would like to control him, most likely he will include the Catholic Church as well as those who fought wars to further their empires. (Wait a minute. The Catholics did fight wars to further their influence. The pope, himself took up his armor and sword in his battles. I really don’t think Peter would have done that.)

The Forgotten Option

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, Christian values, Communism, Crazy Nuts, Crime, Drill Baby, Drill, Going Green, Lawyers and Representation, Price of Oil, Uncategorized by

Everyday I see stories about the disaster called Ukraine. I hate to see it. I hate to see how it lingers on. Everyday I see them discuss the options. One man says we need to do this. Another says we need to do that. Then there is the really “smart” reporter that says we need to just do it this way. Then, from time to time, there is the remark, “It’s on the other side of the world for crying out loud. Let’s just leave it alone. I’m tired of playing the police for the world.”

I really don’t understand it. No one, including the Republicans ever suggest the one method that has been tied and true. It worked with Reagan and virtually ended the cold war. It worked with Trump, until the know nothing Old Joe got in there and messed up everything. You want to stop the Russians from making war, drive the price of oil down just as far as you can. It eliminates the money that the Russians have for making war. If maintained, it will bankrupt the country to the point they won’t be able to raise substantial battle against Poland.

I am beginning to think that everyone wants to overlook the oil aspect.

  1. Drive the price of oil down as much as possible, at least 30 dollars a barrel.
  2. Supply oil and natural gas to our allies in abundance so that Russia will not be able to sell to anyone but China. Who knows? At 15 dollars a barrel, maybe even China will abandon the Russian supply.
  3. Stop buying anything from Russia and China. The stuff we make is better anyway and it doesn’t need to be shipped in.
  4. Stop the Opioids from China, especially the Fentanyl. We don’t need it. Nothing good comes from it and it only helps the criminal elements south of the border. We certainly don’t need that nor do the people of Mexico.

It is just that simple. I know why Old Joe doesn’t want it brought up. What about the rest. What about the Republicans. I haven’t even heard a peep from the conservatives including Sean Hannity.

How Many

Posted in Abuse of Power, Truth, Uncategorized by

The balloon will pop. I have no idea when but it will pop. The dems keep telling lies. Those who support them continue to believe or pretend to believe. I really don’t know which. Either way, the leadership in the democrat party will tell one lie too many and the balloon will pop. Very possibly to late.

My question is how many lies will it take before the truth persists. At what point will the limits be exceeded. When will those in the party finally put their feet down and say enough!

It has amazed me at how many lies they have already gotten away with. Then again, I shouldn’t be so surprised, not with the main stream media helping. Since I gave up cable TV, I have had to settle for main stream media. Guess what. They lie too, in support of the leadership in the party. It would seem that everyone who is anyone is required to take an oath, not to support the nation but the party line, no matter what that lie might be.

Oddly, there are still those in the country, indeed vary many that still believe in the collusion idea. It has been years since that has been totally and objectively debunked. Even the dems don’t try to make us swallow that one anymore. However, it has served its purpose. As long as no one tells the truth about it, many still believe it.

Then, of course there is the letter from the so-called intelligence folks. You know, the ones who are not so intelligent. Because of that lie, there are still those that believe that the laptop was not from Old Joe’s son. If you ask them, it is just another Russian plot.

The lies have taken hold and so very many are reluctant to let go of them.

However, suddenly, like the popping of a balloon, it will become plain that they were lied to. I do wonder if it will be too late to do any good. But even more, I wonder just how many lies they will tell before the truth becomes apparent to one and to all.

Times Past

Posted in Abuse of Power, Computers, Elections, Lawyers and Representation by

The wife and I went to a Baskin and Robins ice cream place a while ago. Across the street was a sizable post office. Compared to the one it replaced, it’s huge. The one replaced only had about a dozen or so parking places and the building was only a little larger than the parking lot. The replacement opened ten or twelve years ago. I don’t quite remember when. I don’t know for sure, but I’d guess it has close to a hundred places to park.

As I looked at the reasonably new building, the question came to mind. Just when last was it that I put a stamp on something and dropped it in the mail. In the old days, I made car and house payments by mail. I suppose I still can. However, most of my payments are made my internet. Communications with friends and family is generally by phone, voice or text. Occasionally I send an email, but not often.

It’s sort of odd. The post office is the one department that I know of that is specifically established by The Constitution. Could it be that it just might fade away. Will we reach a time when it will no longer be practical to open the doors of the post offices. 20 or 30 years ago, who would have figured that?

It does show, however what happens when something is run by the government. This was not something that came on us suddenly. If someone in the hierarchy saw what was happening, plans and methods could have been made. When things started to be sent by computer, the postal service did have the option of getting in on the ground floor. Indeed they had the advantage of having the infrastructure in place. Documents could have been sent electronically just as securely and much faster. This was especially true for commercial users of the mail system.

Federal Express popped up to fill the void left by the post office. There were those who needed documents and such things sent other places overnight. Indeed Federal Express invented the new verb, “overnight,” as in “Please overnight that contract to the Chicago office.”

Nowadays, many things such as contracts are sent at the speed of computer. They can be sent either by internet or phone. For all practical purposes, it is instantaneous.

So. What happens to the USPS? I certainly don’t know. I suppose it could just fade away. On the other hand, one day someone might decide to do away with it. In either case, how will I ever be able to survive without all those circulars.

On the other hand, some really forward thinking individual just might figure out a way to modernize the mail service. I’m not sure what a modern post office system would look like, but in the hands of the government, it would likely be worse than today. If turned over to some private company(s), it just might surprise a bunch of dems. Who knows? It might even start turning a profit.

As an aside. We just might could have secure elections all in one day. Don’t think the dems would like that. First they don’t like elections in one day and they certainly don’t like them to be secure.
