Cyber
Attack

It
is a risky business these days – telling the truth about what goes on in the
world around you. The average American
has become content to be spoon-fed a pabulum of pureed, processed propaganda
laced with a sedative of apathy that doesn’t require him to think for
himself. Anyone who comes along and
offers up a beefsteak of pure unadulterated truth to gnaw at upsets his
delicate system. How dare we who would
do such a thing!
Having
recently come under a vicious cyber attack via large numbers of virus infected
emails, I can tell you that anyone who hangs out a shingle to dispense truth
via the internet is in for an ongoing battle – even if no monetary profit is
being sought or received. Trying to understand
the mindset of people who would set out to destroy one’s ability to dispense
the truth is like looking for the logic in supporting a known tyranny. Both are frustrating and only serve to
strengthen one’s resolve against groundless ignorance.
While
damage is done by such childish pranks as attempting to shut down a website by
flooding it with infected email, it usually only serves to strengthen the
resolve of those in my mindset. It also
lets me know that I am on the right track – so thanks for the encouragement!
This
is a real short rant today, folks, for I am tired and you folks deserve the
updates that are awaiting my attention.
Just wanted to let everyone interested know that I am here for the long
haul. I may be old and slow, but never
weak of spirit. That’s God-given - along
with the rights that I exercise here.
