Google Breaching Contract Persists In Misreporting To Ninth Amendment Untimely Contradictory Site Performance Statistics Essential To Site Success

       Sunday, 23 November 2014, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - As Texas Indicted Idiot lameduck Governor Rick "Payback" Perry continued to call upon someone anyone and everyone to sue United States President Barack Obama for something anything and everything the Ninth Amendment meanwhile seemingly was prevented by interfering parties or circumstances as described in the Ninth Amendment's recent reply to a reader's inquiry as to upcoming articles on the subject of problems experienced with Google-reported Blogger statistics to a publisher such as the Ninth Amendment's site owner. The Ninth Amendment is committed fully to take whatever measures are necessary to assist in the investigation and corrective action required to insure the best possible presentation possible of the Ninth Amendment site to our readers.
       There have been increasingly erratic divergences from what over several years had been this Site's experience with Google's contractually provided ¨accurate up to the minute statistics¨ which figures in the past months repeatedly have proven exponentially less reliable contradictory in their reporting of statistics such as numbers of pageviews depending upon what time period one is examining and then even much more greater discrepancies with Google Analytics.
       Just one more in a long list of new irregularities for now being traffic seemingly reaching the site if at all through constantly changing foreign referring URLS and sites rarely seen before. Today for example for some time the highest referring URL/site address was http://goody498.blog27.fc2.com/ with the referral numbers later dropping. In any case however the fact is that it appears to be Japanese blog or journal of some sort with which the Ninth Amendment has no known  connection whatsoever. (This is not meant as encouragement to readers to go to that address in any way as the Ninth Amendment has no assurance regarding the integrity of the site nor any information as to why it would been refer readers to the Ninth Amendment.)

       Wednesday, 8 October 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - This post briefly updates the below Ninth Amendment post dated Saturday, 4 October with more detailed information provided as to the above and related computer breaches and emphasizing the great concern of President Obama, the White House and Wall Street meriting the President's routine attention equivalent to that of national security matters including also some historical context of large-scale computer hacking of major financial and retail institutions as well as very serious difficulties in tracing their sources which have included past traces to current fugitives identified as long ago as 2011 and now believed to be in the Ukraine although not necessarily related to the months-long current cyberattacks which have continued for months without a determination of their purpose whether it be related to Putin's retaliation for economic sanctions, more straightforward common theft, or some other motivation nor determination of perpetrators as well as further tips for readers in addition to those included in the above-referenced post and link. For interested readers the link to the New York Times article digitally published within the past hour here now replaced with the 9:57 pm update detailing new information on the recent major breaches, more historical background, enforcement efforts and the extreme difficulty of bringing culprits to justice or the existence of adequate legislation for prosecution of them as well as tips for consumers to take protective measures appears directly below.

UPDATED IN WEDNESDAY, 8 OCTOBER 2014 POST LINK Precautions After Computer Hackers Of JPMorgan Chase Steal Personal Information Of 76 Million Two-Thirds Of U.S. Households 7 Million Businesses And Hack Nine More Financial Institutions

       Saturday, 4 October 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - A stupendously deep hackers' computer security penetration of huge proportions at JPMorgan Chase supposedly the most cyber-secure private financial institution in the country which breach even though detected months ago as early as July 2014 could reportedly not be stopped by bank computer security experts through all (detected) points of hackers' access until recent weeks should definitively put all thoughtful realistic readers on notice that the concept of reliable computer security for any consumer even in the most highly "secured" financial institution computer accounts available is nothing more than a myth.
       If any United States financial institution had such reliable security it would be JPMorgan Chase identified as so important to the Nation's economy that a collapse at the bank could trigger a nationwide financial meltdown capable of collapsing the entire country's economy and posing a national security threat. And although this momentous news and harrowing wake-up call has now been made public the fact is that nine other major United States financial institutions which reportedly have suffered similar attacks as well have yet to be identified to the American public.
       Many readers may already be aware that the hackers for reasons not known although they could have fully penetrated and stolen complete financial data of all 76 million household and 7 million business accounts instead are said to have chosen intentionally only to access and steal names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of all accounts which together account for two-thirds of American households. And as referenced above authorities have yet publicly to identify the other ten major United States banks' computer security systems similarly breached.
       The reason(s) for the theft of only this "personal" rather than "financial" information is the subject of speculation although experts admit in similar past breaches things have "not turned out to be what they seemed" as here where the breaches appear to have been orchestrated and accomplished from overseas reportedly specifically from Russian hackers believed to at least have some connections to the Putin administration perhaps retaliating for ever more strangling economic sanctions against Russia where Putin persists in maintaining perhaps the world's worst kept "secret" lie apparently believing he can without anyone noticing or being too intimidated to say anything probably shooting down and at civilian airliners and flooding first former KGB agents and now regular Russian troops and heavy military equipment across Ukraine's sovereign border to battle under the guise of what were at best just lightly armed "Ukrainian separatists" now in basically a full-on border war against the fully outfitted ranks of the Ukrainian army with complete disregard for the slaughter of the Ukrainian civilians allegedly eager to renew their ties to a Russia basically murdering them and giving them no choice but to live in the middle of an active battleground between two fully outfitted armies the leader of the former original separatists having months ago announced he was resigning his position.
       On the other hand security experts are still recommending and reminding Americans of the usual precautions to take in the wake of what many just see as a further escalation of huge hacking attacks already perpetrated against some of the United States largest retailers and who knows what institutions the United States Government is not saying. The Ninth Amendment is aware that our own "national security" State is certainly not above reproach it having already definitively been shown that while the United States national security apparatus was noisily accusing countries such as China of large-scale hacking attacks our venerable child techies running ever further amok of the Constitution at for example the NSA spying on every American in (and out of sight of most of those of us without laser and more mundane eavesdropping and infrared and night vision and who knows what other kinds of satellites and drones and goggles) were themselves and their "national security" colleagues or other executive agency competitors as the case may be actually themselves were staging cyber-attacks against the Chinese and others picking up another one from the CIA's playbook of setting up all innocent Americans for yet more and more sophisticated damaging "blowback" the reasons for which ordinary citizens per usual have no idea while the "national security" outfits take cover and flee.
       In any case rather than do an incomplete job and possibly omit valuable information the Ninth Amendment refers concerned readers directly to the limited ways set out in the New York Times article below that Americans may protect themselves from what now have to be accepted as nearly inevitable security breaches unless readers are ready to ditch it all and work strictly with a pen and paper therefore the Ninth Amendment suggests readers proceed directly to the New York Times link below for reminders of known as well as information on some new safeguards to take in the face of such threats to their financial security and security of identity.
       One most important new piece of information to us is that with the personal information stolen hackers will be able to craft very convincing e-mails to try to coax birthdates, social security, credit card numbers and the like from consumers with such targeted phony hard to spot e-mails now known as "spear phishing" and as a result readers are advised by the Times no longer to use links directly in such possibly suspicious e-mails which should never be requesting any of the above information in any case but if they are believed to be authentic instead of using links the FBI always advises Americans to skip the link and either type the address oneself in the address bar or alternatively use a search engine to locate the address and place it in one's address bar. Overall however security experts agree that the best advice is that Americans demand of their lawmakers that sufficient workable enforceable laws are put into place providing sufficient incentive for third parties that collect such information to adequately secure it.
       The Ninth Amendment reminds readers that it is NOT QUALIFIED IN ANYWAY TO ITSELF PROVIDE ITS OWN SECURITY ADVICE AND CONCERNED READERS ARE URGED TO REFER TO KNOWN RELIABLE SOURCES WHETHER WRITTEN OR DIRECT FROM TRUSTED CERTIFIED COMPUTER SECURITY PROFESSIONALS DEPENDING UPON THE DEGREE OF READERS' OWN PERSONAL AND BUSINESS SECURITY NEEDS WHICH ONLY THEY ARE IN A POSITION TO ASSESS ACCURATELY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DEGREE OF RISK AND VALUE OF INFORMATION TO BE PROTECTED TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE WORST CASE COST TO THEM SHOULD THE INFORMATION BE COMPROMISED AND/OR STOLEN.

GOOGLE aka "KNOWN ISSUES" May Change Name To "GOO-GLITCH" Denotes Multitude Of Faulty Products Once Known To Buyers Simply As "Defective". Please GOO-GLITCH Has No Time To Answer Piddling Questions So Beneath Its Giant Piles Of Cash About KNOWN ISSUES Replaces Nothing Unless One Bought "The Plan" But Please Feel Free To Gnaw In On Our Unpaid "Buddies Circle Jerkle" Best Known Guesses So We Can Sell Your Personal Info ID'ing You Too In "Buddies Circle Jerkle" Social Media

       Sunday, 3 August 2014, MOUNTAIN "OF CASH" VIEW, CALIFORNIA -Well Blogger friends and domestic help are any of you getting nearly as rich as Google yet letting Google aka KNOWN ISSUES data mine your every contact and interest that you were not even sure you had with their relatively recently joined or merely just more encouraged and patted on their heads by (but never yet consciously -- to them -- punished with the old water board) their new best CIA friends who coincidentally almost magically just have found themselves just so very simultaneously as fascinated as Google with every activity in your life. It is all just money to Google whether the information for commercial social media wars and incidental bonuses from the CIA comes in through Blogger+ or the old "sponsored results" that never ever would have happened on so reputably academic a search engine as Google until of course they did.
       So when did Google and the others like Zuckerboy begin to feel so sure they were above the law (probably from a little too much exposure to those charged with enforcing the law against "others") that they for example apparently can claim when they never answer you except in court sell you products which were previously just known as "defective" junk but never anymore return for refund but instead have developed to the point that they have the audacity to tell you they do no even answer phones about defects but just maybe you can "circle buddy" with some of the thousands of others who also have suffered through their so-called "beta" defects and will be happy to commiserate but please just be clear on one thing most importantly which is even if GOO-GLITCH aka KNOWN ISSUES gives those unpaid geeks a few unpaid ribbons everything they come up with is strictly answered on their own behalves and NO KNOWN ISSUES guarantees nothing except any royalties coming from more social media data mining belongs to them (and their CIA partners) alone.
        As for the shared problems new "jerkle buddy circle" users are experiencing while Google is busy designing the next generation of planned obsolescence or rather planned defects in its next generation of products while also figuring out ways to get users (or "used ones") to sign off every detail or access to every detail of jerkle buddy life from birth to death and everything inbetween which is pretty crafty because actually in one's "real" social life whatever that used to be none of these geeks were ever your "friends" and would not have merited another scoff if you caught them trying to chart and graph every aspect of your social life which was so much more interesting to them than their own existence spent with their own best friend the Asteroids machine.
       And you were beginning to think that you were just perhaps nothing but not quite mostly up-to-par "bloggers" raking it in which was after all the original "idea" as advertised was it not although coincidentally or not that was just around the time the NSA, CIA and rest of the national acronym crowd began to give Google perhaps just an inkling of the real value of that "Blogger" sky's the limit up-to-the-minute (very roughly speaking) was perhaps after all not really quite so much the focus of the whole "operation" as might have perhaps a bit more honestly been communicated. No now Google makes a fortune off of your Person+ for which you are not getting a dime except new bunch of "freinds" for your "circle of jerkles".
       In fact that part of the tale after seeing a United States President ELECTED after all and all those heady skirmishes just at the shaky borders of the foundation in the age of "terrible secrets" of the United States Constitution once held so dear by so many well that part of the tale really did not seem so "compelling" nor so "heady" to the ones now become in the know and dining with the spooks outside Mclean that it really may have begun to slip their swimming minds just a bit amidst all these heady developments that there were, well, starting to be what rapidly had become the "cover story" that clearly was not nearly so exciting nor PROFITABLE as some of the other stories.
       Well fellow Bloggers we urge you for the moment not to rush into the Blogger+ deal and spend a bit of time asking yourself whether you really deep down feel some COMPELLING REASON to find yourself sharing yourself and so much of your life with some people who well quite frankly as of just a couple years ago may not have even really known from Adam. Remember when you perhaps wanted to prove yourself personally with a successful bit of writing well-received by an audience which was not "scientifically" determined and placed among your, what, followers?
       We ask for now that you just might wish to collect your thoughts for a bit and not jump into putting that + after your personal "profile" information maybe more so as to release its disclosure from a legal point of view and to take Google forward leaps and bounds in some perhaps new merely greedy direction whereby it might get its hands ASAP on that "social media" information from Facebook and the others if not by some in-kind trade that strengthens it all then some sort of clever tact at getting you to actually feel some sort of eagerness to part with that information you might not ever have even dreamed of with a company in ten short years become larger than General Motors and you really are not even sure why. There is after all no big rush. Except perhaps for when the time comes that we all decide to go after Google itself for fraud, class action, punitive damages, invasion of privacy, psychological manipulation by methods of the always jury-loved cult?
       Yes please friends keep us in mind if your statistics that are promised to be accurate and timely seem increasingly are neither. That all that Adsense and other advertising program money you have heard so much of the old favorite Ronald Reagan "anecdotal evidence of" such as quite amazing riches or financial independence or in any case close to it are not quite coming true for you yet either. But then there is always SO MUCH more new information provided by Google and it is no doubt "well" paid acting agents that may not always make that much sense nor seem that revolutionary, but what the heck after just six or seven years why not give them a chance, ESPECIALLY if you have already started your own business.
       Yes friends we sense a new day dawning and since it is one where both a federal agency or agencies and a very rich company or companies who have indeed demonstrated indeed that they do have VERY DEEP pockets we first of all DISCLAIM ANY SPECIAL LEGAL OR FINANCIAL EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA WHICH YOU MUST SEEK ONLY FROM A DULY LICENSED PROFESSIONAL, but may we suggest that in the meantime we proceed carefully and cautiously keeping as best we can accurate records of what we were promised or APPEARED TO BE and WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE OR HAVE APPEARED TO RECEIVE. In the meantime we are keeping a very close watch on whether those pageview numbers which Google has provided with growing inaccuracy as freely can be followed in our posts are keeping up commensurate where historical performance would indicate they should be and with these recent efforts even better perhaps maybe even more so God willing with your support which as you are all too aware costs fellow "bloggers" nothing. Just imagine a million bloggers all standing up for one million other bloggers.
       And should we see those growing numbers of pageviews and ad impressions continuing to grow well then we shall also have very good grounds for examining and ask that KNOWN ISSUE is being especially diligent and careful about reporting them completely and timely as that after all was to be at least what is appearing to us as what may be for all of us who choose and performed for Google as our part of the bargain and therefore must especially taking care to make sure that we too benefit richly where they have from our own "benefit of the bargain" and also having done so kept us from putting or fortunes with those of so many competitors for our work from whom Google lured us. And make no mistake as for the specifics of each of us, it is each of us who is putting in the work, writing all the feedback and looking for those non-existent Google return letters. Stay strong, read on, and let those of us who continue on this path remember where lies the true path and reward of "mutual support".
       Let GOOGLE have its KNOWN issues fellow Bloggers we shall have our MUTUAL SUPPORT. So pay attention and in the the unforgettable words of Douglas Adams on the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy "DON'T PANIC". Just keep track of that money GOOGLE owes you from mathematical errors or selling your social media without your permission to sell and soon those + signs will be adding up in your column also. We hope.

Google Blogger Fails To Report Reliable Accurate Site Statistics Nor Effectively Address Site Pageview Interference And/Or Reports Exposing Vulnerabilities Of Publishers' and Advertisers' Privacy

       Friday, 13 June 2014, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - Despite many recent and increasing requests by the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment log Google has declined to comment and/or provide information on why this New American log's site pageview statistics have in recent weeks steadily declined either in accuracy and/or to identify whether site viewership now is suffering interference and/or denial of access as the result of the misconduct of other parties or that in which Google is complicit, has knowledge of, and/or lacks the ability to remedy.
       Statistics which have appeared to be reliable as suggested by consistency with historical site performance now increasingly are being reported as totally inconsistent for periods lasting as long periods approaching on half a day suggesting Google can no longer maintain the performance standards Google originally established in order to attract publishers and advertisers to its highly lucrative Blogger and Blogger-related endeavors including Google's expansion into the extremely data brokering area of "social media" information collection and sharing particularly through its innocuously named "plus" feature.
       As reported by Google itself this information is not only available to its CIA partner but through its "hub" and other "features" for purposes of exchanging it with other popular social media sites with an obviously extremely aggressive emphasis on its "plus" feature to which Google has gone to great lengths to draw in existing publishers who currently do not participate nor wish to participate in this personal information collection vehicle.
       Publishers and advertisers wishing to publish and/or advertise on blogs or other popularly accessible web page creation and maintenance outlets will readily find that there now are a great many other entities available providing similar or better services at little or no cost including those based in other countries including those of the European Union which have demonstrated as documented in earlier posts on this New American site significantly greater respect for and legal protections for individuals' privacy regardless of the individuals' home countries.

Google Users And Developers BEWARE Google Lawyers' Unilateral Rule Changes "Effective" 11 November 2013

       Sunday, 13 October 2013, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. - Well we all know that this is the day and this is the age when a very strange thing has occurred with contracts and other areas of law. As best we of the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board recall there were a great many tenets of the law stretching far back to the common law that long predated the TYRANNY OF THE CORPORATIONS SUCH AS GOOGLE. How long must we close our eyes and pretend that we are utterly blind to the fundamental concepts of the great foundations of the once great and now completely eviscerated foundations of the legal system as handed down from the ironclad principles of such things as the English Common Law?
       Was it not any longer ago than our parents' lifetimes that institutions engaging in the practices of our banks, our credit card companies, our insurance companies and all that ilk would be taken out and strung up for the practices they have come to embrace with reckless abandon today crushing the ordinary workingperson with unilateral after-the-fact dictates of once-"loans" now become champions of "usury" and all form of injustice from which they no longer are held back by any form of BILATERAL (yes, that is correct, two parties) agreement rather than by one party's "fiat".
       Does anyone remember when a contract was a "meeting of the minds", does anyone remember such quaint concepts as a mutuality of consideration and things such as "terms and conditions" which actually were agreed to by the parties rather than simply ANNOUNCED by one party to the other, well, readers here we go again. . . .
       Now does anyone really know what in the world Google has been up to enslaving over two million families around the world allegedly writing their blogs amidst GREAT TALES OF RICHES while how rarely is it that we ever see them actually come to fruition except of course Google's latest joint schemes with the CIA to do what we do not know? Well readers we have been at this Ninth Amendment log some time now and there must be a leak somewhere in our piggy bank. That is all we can imagine as we have yet to receive even our first advertising pay?
       Well be warned Google if these young (yes of course 18+) children can make theirs and their families' fortunes we have decided that we too now shall read up and try to make sense of every bit of this endless series of Google pages that always to point both ways at the bottom (ever seen that one before?) yet never seem to come to any conclusion which yields any more MONEY for the faithful. Google cannot just be in the business of making 2 million families rich, can it? No thank you we do not want anymore "followers" and "+1ers" nor "circles of Google friends", we are going to figure this out once and for all and demand some accounting of exactly in what amounts and to whom and for how long those first checks and long since direct deposits started to flow. We are owed an accounting are we not? Perhaps a FOIA to the right-placed federal agencies?
       We do come carrying some news of WARNING, HOWEVER, GOOGLERS!  You have been warned if you weed carefully through the endlessly back circling computer text screens so start reading up ahead of next month. Yes come 11 November 2013 or on or about same day thereabouts the UNILATERAL GOOGLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE CHANGING ONCE AGAIN.
       YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. READ IT IN ADVANCE, AND JUST TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, OR ASK YOUR LAWYER IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIED UP IN IT. ASSUME IT IS NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. NOW, EVERYONE, ALL TOGETHER NOW, LET US MAKE SOME MONEY AT THIS THING. GO, GO, GO, EVEN IF YOU NEED WRITE 500 BLOGS EACH WITH 499 FULL OF GOOGLE-SANCTIONED "ADULT MATERIAL".
       As best we can tell you do not need to tell anyone your real name, your real anything, except maybe the tax man, except for now your "Circle of Friends" can "repay the favor" according to Google and repay all the writing you have done with some recommendations where they send on your work to be re-advertised, re-monetized, re-Bloggerized in its entirety.
       Remember that date November 11, 2003, and try to figure out exactly what it is they are up to right to THIS TIME now what have have they planned right that very minute? Roll out the Blogs, Google we are ready for our share of that cash and so much for your "contracts" your "terms and conditions" that are neither but dunenforceable unilateral breaches of contract. Show us the money!
       Now we are no practicing lawyers but we bet that Google has a few lawyers themselves who might explain (to Google in any case) why is it that Google NEEDS TO CHANGE UNILATERALLY THOSE "TERMS" AND "CONDITIONS" such that Google can take and adapt the Google's developers' (that is right, "us", we their friends) "intellectual property" developed for challenges but only for things such as Google's "business purposes" but otherwise "totally" respect our "intellectual property" rights oh yes, yes, really indeed to our ideas.
      Funny we did not see any such language going the other way? Nothing about us being able to make fair and necessary use of Google's "intellectual property". Oh, no, no, quite the opposite. After all we "developers" are not their "employees", we certainly have not been afforded those kinds of rights and assurances of employees have we? No reason Google should have acquired any rights to any intellectual property we might develop on OUR OWN TIME or why WE SHOULD NOT SUE GOOGLE should it mistakenly ascertain that after it it really did need "OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY" to further Google's "BUSINESS PURPOSES".
     Any chance Google might actually write these things down say ON PAPER and STAPLE and COLLATE them in order? So much easier to try and make sense of one's terms and conditions if they are not presented to one in what appear to be home-made movies made by virtual children whom one is not even sure work for Google or, alas, do not?
     Oh we can be so picky! Any chance Google might actually have its lawyers prepare say just a little itsy-bitsy statement that some people might wish actually to have their own lawyers look over all this material presented in such a DECEPTIVELY OFF-HAND WAY? Just a guess. Sometimes we scare ourselves we seem to make so much more sense than the ones who are paid so much NOT to get GOOGLE SUED? Finally while we are at it the "Terms and Conditions" do seem to anticipate at least the possibility of less than total harmony, their close making clear (unilaterally of course) that should their be any little disagreement that "Calfiornia Law Shall Govern". Only that is "As to choice of law provisions".
       Any of you twenty-year-old developers happen to have a clue what that might be about? Well, just going out on a limb, let us just guess that Google believes the laws of the Great State of California can be expected to bring a FAVORABLE outcome in any dispute against Google, which after all pays about half the State's budget, does it not? However, in the rare case where Google might not be expected to win , such as to the children's work laws which instead look favorable in say the Great Nation of Tibet, in that case might it not be prudent to have the Googlers pack up their suits and in that one special-circumstance case make at least just that one long flight over to Tibet, give the others a break on that airfare just that once? Sometimes it is just so hard to make sense of what really are one's best ime/tions
