Karma's Slow Moving Process

A read through these stories; Slow Burning Karma will enlighten.
 
The main focus is that the bullies in life "suffer in death" and it won't be fast. Karma is wracking up. It is there in all of nature. I will tell you, my readers, how Karma comes, whether by disease or other factors, bullies never truly escape justice. No matter what form it comes in. You may think that it's an isolated phenomena but that's because it's misunderstood.
 
Call it witchcraft, call it voodoo, but whatever you call it, know that it is real. And Karma does slowly kill nature's enemies. Especially those who do cruel acts against the innocent. Namely animals. Sometimes Karma is instant but 80% of the time it is slow. It won't be fast. But be vigilant that it is in progress.

It is a slow burn, but the destruction of those who have made a life of destroying others will end up on the wrong end of that very destruction. You get what you give.

How One Anon Can Be An Army

With technology enabling all kinds of devices to become multi-taskers within themselves, tech is used to create a greater illusion of reality bent if used in ways that it wasn't normally intended for.

Take the case of the standard iphone. It can be used in ways that back then only the www could have offered. The average iphone can truly be used to create the illusion that you have a network of hundreds of people while in reality you'd be just one single individual. But that scale of network takes a lot of work. A lot. But it can be done, making you seem a lot bigger of a base or group of people than there really is.

Samuel Holt Gird of the now infamous Winnowars of the online gaming community (now defunct) was the sole engineer of this use of technology. He had set up literally hundreds of accounts which asked for a mobile number and used only one phone to do. He had set up a series of numbers that he rerouted through his carrier with cards he'd obtained from various vendors. Then he'd set up the numbers on the phone itself as if it were being activated for the first time. Then enter a desired number and boom like that, he'd have a brand new number until the card's time ran out. He'd buy around a dozen 10 minute cards (10 min is the lowest amount of time that a card can go) and he'd get to work setting up numerous gaming accounts and rack up those points which in turn racked up bitcoins.

He was caught doing so when he'd foolishly told another gamer the secret. And well, loose lips and all that.

Another case involved a bitchy neighbor bitty who'd watch her neighbors come and go about their daily business waiting for any sign of wrongdoing so she could rat them out to the equally old and bitter landlord. And since the age of cell phones, and iphones today, it's very rare that a landowner would know the cell number of each family member of any given caller.

Although this bitchy neighbor didn't go to the lengths of our esteemed Mr Holt Gird, she was able to deceive the landlord enough that he went after an innocent man because she didn't like him feeding the birds, in this case, the seagulls that flew around his apartment corner as it looked out over the San Diego coastline. He had built a rather large shelter atop many rungs as perches for them during storms and heavy sea tides as the area was prone to. The seagulls would always cone to the structure he'd built and of course, they can get loud. But living near the sea it just goes with the territory. This man had also a great knowledge of the gulls because he had built it on a flight path where they could gather and ride out rough weather.

The crazy old bat who didn't like the sound of gulls crying used her phone to make complaints to their landlord and then she'd use the phones of other family members to lodge complaints against the birdman as well. Making it appear that there were more calls than there actually were. Although it's quite possible that the other phone owners didn't know this was going on, the landlord never made any call backs to confirm if these complaints were legitimate. It just simply never occurred to him that this could be done. Of course the landlord paid our birdman a visit and really put him through some shit. It was discovered that the complaints were bogus when the old bat didn't like that the birdman was still living there and set about causing him more trouble by asking other people in the complex to loan her their phones for a few minutes because hers was "out of juice" and that it was an emergency. One other resident loaned her the phone but then immediately checked the history of the call made and noticed that the number was for the landowner. When that was seen, the owner of the phone called him back and asked what was said. Describing the situation, the landlord soon got an earful.

The vigilant phone owner then explained she's never had any problem the birdman.

And the landlord caught on that his old bat tenant was behind all the complaints and he then made a practice of always confirming where all calls came from.

Critical Updates for Windows, Flash, Java

Get your patch chops on people, because chances are you’re running software from Microsoft, Adobe or Oracle...

...that received critical security updates today. Adobe released a Flash Player update to fix at least 22 flaws, including one flaw that is being actively exploited. Microsoft pushed out 11 update bundles to fix more than two dozen bugs in Windows and associated software, including one that was publicly disclosed this month. And Oracle has an update for its Java software that addresses at least 15 flaws, all of which are exploitable remotely without any authentication.

Adobe’s patch includes a fix for a zero-day bug (CVE-2015-3043) that the company warns is already being exploited. Users of the Adobe Flash Player for Windows and Macintosh should update to Adobe Flash Player 17.0.0.169 (the current versions other OSes is listed in the chart below).
If you’re unsure whether your browser has Flash installed or what version it may be running, browse to this link. Adobe Flash Player installed with Google Chrome, as well as Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x, should automatically update to version 17.0.0.169.

Google has an update available for Chrome that fixes a slew of flaws, and I assume it includes this Flash update, although the Flash checker pages only report that I now have version 17.0.0 installed after applying the Chrome update and restarting (the Flash update released last month put that version at 17.0.0.134, so this is not particularly helpful). To force the installation of an available update, click the triple bar icon to the right of the address bar, select “About Google” Chrome, click the apply update button and restart the browser.

The most recent versions of Flash should be available from the Flash home page, but beware potentially unwanted add-ons, like McAfee Security Scan. To avoid this, uncheck the pre-checked box before downloading, or grab your OS-specific Flash download from here. Windows users who browse the Web with anything other than Internet Explorer may need to apply this patch twice, once with IE and again using the alternative browser (Firefox, Opera, e.g.).
Microsoft has released 11 security bulletins this month, four of which are marked “critical,” meaning attackers or malware can exploit them to break into vulnerable systems with no help from users, save for perhaps visiting a booby-trapped or malicious Web site. The Microsoft patches fix flaws in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE), Office, and .NET
The critical updates apply to two Windows bugs, IE, and Office. .NET updates have a history of taking forever to apply and introducing issues when applied with other patches, so I’d suggest Windows users apply all other updates, restart and then install the .NET update (if available for your system).

Some Good Advice

Beware of Free Movie Download Sites

The rip-off: When a much anticipated flick is about to hit movie theaters, cyber-criminals take advantage of the buzz by promising eager fans sneak previews or even free downloads of the entire film. You may stumble onto come-ons like these simply by googling the name of the film.


The tip-off: If you click to view a streaming movie trailer or download a film, you may first be prompted to type in your e-mail address, thereby giving fraudsters your personal contact information. But that’s not the worst of it. While the clip or the download plays, your computer can be infected with a key logger that keeps track of your individual keystrokes and sends them electronically to the scammer, says Loren Spallina, a support specialist with the security-software maker PC Tools. From that point on, when you check your online bank or credit-card account, you may be handing a con artist your log-in name and password.

How to protect yourself: Be suspicious of any site that promises free downloads of new films (unless you’re dealing with the movie’s official website) or that requests personal information, says Spallina. If you do decide to download files that offer film trailers or previews, always scan them for viruses before opening them.
