Open Range--Get Your Peckers in the Dirt
I just liked that statement made by actor, Robert Duvall, in the movie, Open Range, about the battle for free range grazing of cattle, verses, stationary rancher cattle ranging, with property owners . . . plus the dirty bastard who was controlling the town, through the principles of all dark empires, from Darth Vadar, to modern day, Lex Luthers of the world . . . with the mantra of steal, kill and destroy! In my personal battle for world supremacy, not for myself, but for all mankind, to live in a beautiful new world, with the premise of love, peace, harmony, justice, freedom and liberty for all, as opposed to the one world order, promoted by world bankers, fascist regimes, despots, tyranny, and the enslavement of people, worldwide, a labor force just large enough to serve the ruling elite, with little more than money games to offer, perpetrated by war, oppression, death and bloodshed, I learned of one more technological creation to either aid one side or the other.
Called the Deep Web or the Dark Internet
Of course, organized crime syndicates, the CIA, traffickers of firearms, labor, sex trade, and drugs, have already discovered a wide set of benefits and uses for this either dark and dastardly deep web or dark Internet, that few normal folks like myself, know about yet, either using it for the benefit of man and womankind, or for their own selfish purposes, deeds, prosperity, or evil. As I understand it from Jeff, a friend who heard of my travails of screaming, swearing computers, when I happen to get something on my blog to the masses to help them, but to the chagrin of those who oppose the peaceful solutions to the human condition, he told me of technology and programs like Tails, TOR, or The Onion Router, Honeypots, and methods and means to stop or detect spam on your computer, or to bury your identity and location, through up to and including, 5,000 volunteer router cites, bumping you around the globe, until, there is no connection back to your original location, IP number, town, and I could be writing from the University of Las Vegas, Law School, sitting here on the third floor of the law library, and if I had the very simple device, like a small, USB, looking device, much like a travel flash or travel drive, plugged into my notebook, it would appear, as if I were writing this blog from the UK or somewhere else, through the deep web or the dark Internet.
In this world of cyber wars, and spying, leaving little to the imagination, especially to the eyes and minds of those working in NSA type activities, of even spying on Americans . . . who in the hell, do you think, messed with my computer, put psychedelic colors, stripes, and finally shutting me down . . . with Edward Snowden, noting in an article just last week, I believe I read about it in the Salt Lake Tribune, that hey, these guys and gals, working for the NSA, are just normal folks with your average curiosity, and when they see a sexy girlfriend, sending her nude sext to her boyfriend, they are going to do just what, allegedly you and I would do, look at the pictures! Oh, hell NO . . . first of all, allegedly the NSA, is just doing sweeping meta data collection, with little interest in your personal emails, texts, sexting, and they just detect your connections with global terrorists? So, why in the hell are they being so up close and personal, with your girlfriends email or text? Yeah, they are looking at a fucking lot more than any, even tangential connection between you and the terrorist cell with their asses parked on the eastern borders of the Ukraine!
They are fucking spying on us, on American citizens, you and me, with 4th amendment rights to protections from unreasonable searches and seizures, only allowed by the suspicion that a crime is being committed, based on probable cause, attested to and under oath, with a non-biased magistrate, demanding a list of specificity, and particularities, of the persons to be searched and the items to be seized! Not to mention, the 9th amendment right to privacy, and 5th and 14th rights to due process and equal protection! You know, just those little speed pumps we call the Bill of Rights! Sorry, that was just a side bar . . .
TOR, Could Be Confused with THOR--King of High Security
TOR, previously the acronym for The Onion Router, security program, now, the official name of the program, that provided online security and anonymity, which resisted censorship, sent subscribers through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than 5,000 relays to conceal the user's location or usage from network surveillance or traffic analysis. This program made it very difficult to trace use of the Internet, from emails, to searches, back to the users computer or location.
This experiment or official program was first originated at the authority of the U.S. Navy, later joined by private firms, followed by the UK joining in on the new deep, dark side of the Internet, often used first by the CIA, to go undetected to the dark side of the web, to avoid detection by the enemy combatant spies of other countries, to let the Company, know their locations, or if they were in danger, and what their plans were . . . because, if the movies are right, if they get caught, they are toast and nobody knows them and sail ave or good-bye! So a critical tool for the intelligence community working around the world . . . a good side of the technology, depending on what they are up to, I just had to qualify that.
TOR is the King of High Security, with low latency Internet anonymity, and with no other contenders for the throne in waiting. The idea of the onion router, was the application of layers of encryption. The developers and creators, accepted money from the U.S. government, who did not necessarily collaborate with the NSA to reveal the identities of the users. There are 36 million users around the world, who have free access, expression on the Internet, to keep control of their privacy and anonymity . . . Jeff showed me this, I guess I am the last to know, but it is relatively easy to use, with not much more complexity than using Word or other Internet programs . . . if I can use it, understand it and grasp the significance of the program, after entering the computer age, less than willingly, having to learn the computer and the law at the same time, then missing 8 years of technology that changes every 3 days, then your average person, who has been using all the way along will figure it out, determining if it something that is of benefit, or determent to them.
Pivotal in Dissident Movements in Both Iran & More Recently in Egypt
If you will recall, especially in the movement to deal with the removal of Morsi, as I believe, the first democratically elected President of Egypt, later threatened by militant leaders, or the Muslim Brotherhood, very much, relied on technology to conduct, a rather, peaceful, if I recall, movement, making objections, observation, even demonstration clean up after protests, about jobs, living conditions and what not, using Smart phones, Ipods, computers, and other devices I don't know about . . . to go undetected, giving orders and assignments to key leaders of the movements they were trying to promote. Egypt gave us mathematics, astrology, and civilization, perhaps, they also showed us a more civilized way to protest government policies, and redress grievances, without fear of retaliation, but, if America is working right, the first amendment, free speech and the right to redress grievances with our government should handle that, through the help of the 14th amendment, of due process and equal protection, GOD BLESS AMERICA!
None the less, it was a fascinating way to handle what happened in Egypt . . . from the ugly American! Awesome demonstration, with much intelligence behind it, cool!
Edward Snowden Used TOR Network to Send the Washington Post & the Guardian, Information about PRISM and Other NSA Activities
The Dark Corner of the Web
Some less that worthy uses of this program: copyright infringement, distributing sex/controlled substances, money laundering, credit card fraud, identity theft, black market industries and sells; however, on the bright side, it has been used to help victims of domestic violence, go deep and dark to avoid detection by their perpetrators, and be able to converse with social workers and the domestic violence network in communities, providing safety and protection for women and their children who are at risk, or trying to escape the hellacious situation they have found themselves in.
Like I said, for better or for worse, we marry this system . . . without regulations, monitoring, or legislation, that I am aware of, but I am always the last to know, we will have to be self-policing, which to me is best anyway . . . as in marriage, you take the good with the bad! Last night I was watching a strange, but somewhat realistic movie, call Tribulation, where Christians were being forced to take the sign of the beast, or the mark of the beast, 666, as in the Book of Revelations, predicting what the end of the world will be like, unless we can get our shit together as a world, and seek a better world, and avoid a hideous end to humanity as we know it . . . but a guy speaks of a phenomena that happened among monkeys on either an island, or on a continent, and one group of monkeys started to act in a particular manner, and scientists found that monkeys, not connected to each other, all over the island, started to behave in the same way . . . and the actor said, wouldn't that be great, if people could do this with peace!
No matter is we are dealing with guns, drugs, sex, the Internet, or anything, the outcome for the planet, will largely depend on us, whether we will be able to implement these tools for the benefit of mankind, so closely connected these days, or become part of the Evil Empire . . . used to steal, kill and destroy, mankind!
