Sophisticated Hackattack On Anti-Censorship Tools To Circumvent Chinese Great Firewall Inserted Malicious Code Via Baidu Search To Disable GreatFire

     Sunday, 5 April 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - An unidentified party or entity (whose identity is widely suspected) about ten days ago used a sophisticated hackattack aimed at anti-censorship tools provided by GreatFire which allow Chinese internet users to circumvent the Chinese "Great Firewall". The attack directed the popular Chinese search function Baidu via ads to insert malicious code in websites directing unknowing visitors' browsers to flood and therefore disable the GreatFire website which hosts two anti-censorship tools reportedly for example allowing Chinese users to circumvent the Great Firewall in order to read the New York Times.
     The attack originated outside of China raising suspicions as to its origin. In addition to obvious concerns about the hackattack's stifling of free speech it also is of significant concern because it for a period disabled the widely used Github website hosting Greatfire. Github is very widely used including by many programmers and even the United States government. This is not the first time the Github website has been disabled by an attack flooding and overwhelming it.
     Readers interested in more information detailing the method of attack as well as its consequences and suspected origin can go to the below link to the Washington Post article of 27 March 2015 reporting this sophisticated hackattack.

Extreme Google Under-Reporting Of This Site's Pageviews With Severe Disturbance Of Google Reported Statistical Performance Preliminarily Traced To This Present Date Since Monday 13 October 2014 First-Time Site Visits By Ramnode LLC Of Guangzhou, China Of An Extradorinary 14:11 Miinutes Duration Accessing Eight Full Pages Of Ninth Amendment Posts Remarkably Mirrored Nearly Exactly By A First-Time Site Visit On The Same Date By VPS Nodes Of Cheyenne, Wyoming Of 14:09 Minutes Duration Accessing That Same Number Of Eight Full Pages Of Ninth Amendment Posts As China Visit

       Saturday, 18 October 2014, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA - The Ninth Amendment editorial board would like to share with all concerned readers the above information gleaned from analysis of Google Analytics information available to it namely that the Ninth Amendment Log has continued to suffer from continuous extreme under-reporting of this site's pageviews with accompanying severe disturbance also of obviously untimely and grossly inaccurate self-contradictory Google reporting rather than its contractually obligated promised to publishers accurate "up to the minute" performance statistics. Instead the Ninth Amendment of what site visit reports it is receiving clearly are a bunch of contrived pageviews of older posts such that one might randomly visit one every once in a while to provide some semblance of normalcy but really bespeak completely abnormal site activity based on seven years of experience.
       The continuous extreme under-reporting of this site's pageviews despite nearly twenty-five (25) distressed reports to Google continues right to the present evidenced by daily pageview numbers of recent posts of an unprecedented 1 or 2 total pageviews for most all posts from Monday 13 October 2014 to the present with absolutely concrete evidence of manipulation, distortion, and/or interference of some sort especially in the wake of the most recent CREDO mobile post of a couple days ago which would be expected to a near certainty to generate somewhere at least between 100 to 200 pageviews for starters because of the very short fuse on the deadline of this amazing offer but incredibly has shown one (1) TOTAL pageview reported by Google up to the time of this post. The Ninth Amendment hopes it untrue but due to the lack of pageview reports is concerned that interested readers are not getting time sensitive information.
       Information from Google Analytics specific to internet service providers for visitors to this site and their general locations gleaned by a team from the Ninth Amendment has discovered that despite a pair of obviously distorted Google performance reporting instances in recent weeks in which information was provided for nearly full days of practically no pageviews when suddenly Google would dump a report on the publisher of the Ninth Amendment of 100-200 pageviews in ONE MINUTE to this site which assuredly does not receive that kind of traffic (yet) that the now very severe problems with Google reporting coincide exactly with the date of a first-time site visit reported by Google Analytics as the "service provider" Ramnode LLC which Google Analytics identified as being located in Guangzhou, China and accessing eight full pages of Ninth Amendment posts in 14:09 minutes.
       Absolutely remarkably there was another first-time visit for the EXACT same date of Monday 13 October 2014 reported by Google Analytics by the "service provider" VPS Nodes which Google Analytics identified as being located in Cheyenne, Wyoming incredibly also accessing the EXACT same number of eight full pages of Ninth Amedment posts in the nearly EXACT same time period of 14:11 versus 14:09 minutes. It would appear as if the internet cowboys were a hair slightly slower on the keys than the Chinese. The U.S. Government claims to have such difficulties with Chinese hackers which may be better alleged against say New Zealand of late yet enthusiastically are returned by the Chinese against the United States.
       On the other hand very long practiced candidates for any such misdeeds would be contributors to the confusion, misinformation, and/or disinformation who could well be most any GOP or related entity say the Texas GOP perhaps hacking the Ninth Amendment site through a newly discovered by the Ninth Amendment referring site with the quite similar URL to the Ninth Amendment's principal known URL but with the handle waronnothing.blogspot.com/2. Although they probably are too stupid to accomplish it themselves they certainly have a pigsty full of criminal thugs who they obviously easily could and have historically paid handily to do their dirty work hopefully but not definitely more professionally even trying to pass it off as some other's dirty work not always successfully but better than some career GOP buffoon and also more willing "to do the time for which they must be paid" according to GOP great Dick Nixon.
       Certainly a party such as the worst members of the Republican small dirty GOP mob that drools over itself willing to deprive legitimate voters of their right to vote on any obviously ludicrously insincere pretext whatsoever throughout Texas and various states of this country including Wisconsin, North Carolina and anywhere the GOP possibly might succeed with some GOP-packed partisan court revealing zero concern whatsoever about the very essence of this democracy or republic the GOP would exploit to the fullest as it spews baseless calculated lies relentlessly in the process as its major contribution to American government policy debate.
       All this merely because these morally bankrupt two-bit thugs wish to lord over this great Nation at any price such that they would and will if they could destroy for profit and damn the children with very scant qualms indeed about a little or what the hell say a lot of internet work a couple hundred hours computer hacking or a few other crimes such as their great hero resigned Richard "Dick" Nixon ordering up a major burglary here and a bigger illegal cover-up obstruction of justice there lying all the way while seriously musing as to whether he should take up a a hit man "friend who said he owed Nixon one" on an offer of one bragged of (complimentary) "hit" of an opponent such as "another" Kennedy more or less for the hell of it or anyone at all he named to be killed as he sat in the Oval Office idiotically recording all of it believing all the while in his greatness vomiting out a torrent of obscene filth yes-manned incessantly by Kissinger as Nixon exposed his pathological contempt for every quarter of humanity including every ethnic and racial and lifestyle group from African-Americans to gays to Jews and everyone in between no doubt including himself and Kissinger as well not to mention for sure the hundred thousand protesters camped outside the windows and surrounding the White House in an endless picket line as well. Yes indeed their Grand Old Party hero.
       In any case Google itself has responded to zero of the Ninth Amendment's approximately twenty-five (25) requests for its assistance in addressing the aforementioned problems and in fact two days ago made the Ninth Amendment's access to the sole Google provided non-responsive route to assistance much more difficult and time-consuming by requiring for the first time ever that the Ninth Amendment re-identify itself by "signing in" although the Ninth Amendment to send such messages must be at its site "dashboard" already having logged in as verified by Google two-step authentication before allowing the Ninth Amendment even to request assistance.
       Google has offered no explanation whatsoever for any of these events since 13 October 2014 intended doubtless to distract (but in fact will have the opposite effect) nor has it alerted the Ninth Amendment to the stand-out activities of the two above-named entities neither of which the Ninth Amendment to its knowledge ever before has had any contact nor of any information whatsoever as to their or their principals' identities or motives as of yet pending further domestic and international investigation not to mention specifically at Google's Mountain View, California Headquarters and Google's co-operations center with the CIA in Virginia, as well as other places of interest in Richmond and other apparently related and unrelated locations.

UPDATE: New Information On Computer Breach Of JPMorgan Chase And Nine Other Financial Institutions From Saturday, 4 October 2014 Post Below Now Reported Of Ongoing Great Concern To President Obama And White House With Routine Briefings

       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.

Ebola Transmission Answers To Questions In New York Times "Well" Blog In Wake Of Concerns Of Dallas Ebola Case Bad Mishandling By Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital And Emergency Physicians After Hospital In Altered Account Blames Computer Records Error

       Saturday, 4 October 2014, DALLAS, TEXAS - In the wake of heightened widespread concerns about the transmission of the Ebola virus in the wake of the deadly virus' first occurrence in the United States after physicians at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas stunned the public by sending home from a hospital emergency room visit a symptomatic Ebola-infected man who specifically told emergency physicians and nurses he had just returned from Liberia.
       After the Ebola diagnosis finally was made after later admitting him to the hospital on his second visit according to the New York Times the hospital administration altered its account and blamed the patient's mistaken release on a computer error. The hospital then allowed three days to pass after making his Ebola diagnosis before his still occupied apartment was evacuated and cleaned by a professional crew finding it still with his original towels and sheets having been left on his bed. Despite attempts of Administration officials completely to downplay the incident health authorities were not playing ball with their assessments completely at odds with those of responsible government officials taking no responsibility at all as Dr. Ashish Jha a Harvard University professor of Public Health emphasized at length his disappointment reiterated by other health authorities in the hospital for its "multiple failures" and their consequences "throwing out a bunch of distractions" rather than teaching other hospitals from its dismal performance.
       The New York Times "Well" blog from yesterday Friday, 3 October 2014 is linked to below answering readers' questions of most concern regarding transmission routes and recognition of the Ebola virus as well as basic information such as when and how long after infection testing for the virus can confirm Ebola's presence in a patient along with links beside and below the Times blog to other presently pertinent articles and information on the Ebola virus and its current outbreak believed to have originated in Northwest Africa. Readers may also watch a video of the magnified Ebola virus by going to the same link directly below.
       Below the second link is to the New York Times Saturday, 4 October 2014 Front Page article (originally dated Friday, 3 October 2014) on Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital emergency physicians' mishandling of the patient and the hospital administration's subsequent altering of its account and blaming the error on the hospital computer system. Following that is a third newly added link from Esquire magazine's political online blog for interested readers expressing one perspective on the political overtones of the Texas ebola case and the dangers posed by the perceived Republican fostered culture of insanity and ignorance endangering the whole country.

Law Firm Names In Ninth Amendment Sunday, 25 May 2014 Post Apparently Hacked In Attempt To Obscure Six Law Firm Names Paying Apparent Bribes As "Campaign Donations" Of $200,000 To Corrupt AG "Payday" Greg "Dark Money" Abbott "Whose Final Interest He Is Ruling On" During 2012-2013 Campaign Cycle

       Wednesday, 1 October 2014, AUSTIN, TX - The below post appeared in the Ninth Amendment dateline Sunday, 25 May 2014, AUSTIN, TX. A recent review of the past post which interested readers may themselves review with the search blog feature found in the right column of the Ninth Amendment or by simply moving backwards in date by using the past posts link that can be found at the bottom of each page of posts appearing in the Ninth Amendment may find that the names of the law firms identified in the original post apparently had been (poorly) attempted to be hacked in a seemingly not altogether successful conspiracy to obscure the identity of the firms or perhaps subsequently then "unhacked" in a further attempt at obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence by the original culprits since the posting of this article.
       Yes Google security can be hacked depending on what priority Google wishes to put on blogging sites. And yes Google if it cared to could probably trace the hacking right back into the brains of the hackers if it cared to do so. Furthermore no matter how much Google may sue the federal government let us not forget that the CIA is invested through a front company in Google and moreover has a publicly acknowledged joint venture with Google so if CIA cared to it probably could send a d-track team right up through the toilets of the hackers and grab them by the . . . . When in doubt always remember to keep an eye on the sewers and the plumbing.
       Rather than reiterate the circumstances leading up to the listing of the six rich law firm names at the bottom of that post which made apparent bribes in the form of "campaign donations" totaling $200,000 to Abbott "whose financial interest he is ruling on" in then current bond decisions as reported in the San Antonio Express-News article to which the post linked the editors of the Ninth Amendment have deemed it a better use of resources simply to re-publish here the original post seemingly sought to be obscured by hackers and leave any investigation as to possible issues of, e.g., "moral turpitude" to notification of the proper authorities.
       The Ninth Amendment notes that the digitized version of the hard copy newspaper article to which the post links now ends after the first paragraph before the chart prepared by the San Antonio Express-News appears as originally published identifying these firms in the formerly hacked chart reproduced below. The digitized version of the newspaper linked to now only allows "subscribers" to read the rest of the digital article and see the below attempted to be hacked chart identifying the firms' names and amounts paid totaling $200,000 for the benefit of Abbott while he was actively reaching lucrative bond decisions benefiting the six law firms in his official capacity as Texas Attorney General during the same time period. Presumably any readers with subscriptions can therefore via the link below still access the chart as can hoarders of older hard copies of that newspaper.
       More longtime Ninth Amendment readers may recall the last time the Ninth Amendment endured a more elaborate hacking attack attempt evidencing what appeared to be literally hundreds of hours of work including apparent often somewhat humorous attempts to emulate the Ninth Amendment's written style which admittedly is not easy since the Ninth Amendment is prone to strange constructions of sentences and thoughts and generally abhors the use of most forms of punctuation although in earlier years its editors rarely missed an episode of "Conjunction Junction" unless raised in a household without a television or country or ungoverned region of the world which did not get PBS.
       The 2013 hacking then extended to the personal accounts of Ninth Amendment editors and staff including forged lengthy e-mails appearing to have been placed in personal accounts seemingly in final draft form appearing to be ready to be sent from Ninth Amendment editors and staff to a wide range of recipients basically informing persons and entities from many areas and periods of our lives of all manner of creatively dastardly deeds and damaging information with an apparent dogged determination to terminate or at least greatly complicate longstanding relationships personal and business for completely obscure reasons having seemingly suddenly felt compelled to share everything we had never done with anyone and everyone from former business partners to car insurance companies. There is little so gratifying as being given the gift of strong circumstantial evidence validating that a publication is on the right trail so much as to merit such elaborate attention from persons on an apparently limitless payroll assigned nothing else to do who therefore can be be assumed most likely to work for some government.
       With the good fortune of having military trained computer security and even cryptography experts working with our IT department they were soon able to trace the illegal intrusions to specific IP addresses and physical locations and facilities and their operators despite attempts to obscure them which all seemed to fall within the rather broad federal statutory criminal definition of cybercrimes including unlawful use of the internet to cause damage to computer equipment and property not to mention more esoteric Constitutional violations of interference with fundamental rights including freedom of speech and the press.
       This specific identifying information including specific geographical locations down to specific addresses of larger computer facilities and pertinent departments, operators, subjects as well as phone numbers involved in password verification breaches were duly traced and identified in full detail in past posts from the summer of 2013 which readers still interested or at least awake may find in the same manner set forth above. These elaborate attempts at hacking coincidentally or not surfaced within hours of Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry's announcement that he would not run for yet another term as Governor of Texas.
       What follows is the original post described above as it now appears (with minor editorial corrections that do not appear in the earlier posting):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Sunday, 25 May 2014, AUSTIN, TX - Republicans' corrupt sexist candidate for Texas governor present sitting GOP Texas Attorney General Greg "Dark Money" aka "Payday" Abbott the woman "I own your body" hater today has been exposed as awash in nearly $1 million in bribes in the form of  "campaign donations" over the past decade by just six rich law firms "whose financial interest he is ruling on" according to Texans for Public Justice not to mention who knows how many other "Payday" loan usurers and so on including over one-fifth of $1 million in the present 2012-2013 campaign cycle. The six law firms include a nationally known Washington, D.C. based law firm nearly leading the group in donation amounts.
       Republican Abbott reportedly is known to at least one of these firms as "the General". The General's campaign did not deny but dismissed the what effectively were bribes throughout his more than decade-long tenure in his present public office as inconsequential because they only involved such non-judgmental matters as "legal determinations" which characterization should no doubt be of interest to actual courts of law should Abbott ever happen to be prosecuted for anything. His campaign apparently is unaware that in such matters as criminal conflicts of interest the standard need not even be actual but only have the "appearance of impropriety" to be equally liable for punishment.
       Presumably if the exposure of this information is of such casual lack of concern one can only imagine what misdeeds and/or criminal behavior of his might be of any concern to his campaign as he certainly demonstrates daily his bona fides for taking over the state's governorship from career Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry whose handlers presumably still again have aspirations between lapses in his brain dead condition for him to be President of the United States where he presumably would be in the best position to cause real concern to the world community by threatening to have the United States secede from itself among other idiotic pronouncements buttressing his already well-known complete lack of familiarity with the functions of the executive branch of the United States government such as the Department of Energy which it no doubt would surprise Perry does not just subsidize wacko windmills but actually assembles the nuclear components of weapons hopefully to help insure the nation's security including by separating that function from the Department of Defense.
        With the question looming larger on whether Abbott the General can actually be elected from behind prison bars to be the next governor of Texas (which no doubt is no more than a rote "legal determination" requiring no judgment or discretion so he actually can readily himself spit forth the answer which would of course be "sure") so that he presumably could follow the Republican playbook of pardoning Perry from all pending state (but not federal) criminal charges at the time and continue to blaze the path of destruction to the Great Lone Star state and all true honest hardworking Texans championed by his GOP mentor Perry. Rather than wasting more space on the latest misdeeds of Texas' Republican criminal crop of candidates here interested readers are referred to the excellent investigative report today exposing Abbott the General's most egregious known activity to date via the link below.
       Unfortunately the San Antonio Express-News digital edition has buried the fine work of reporters David Saleh Rauf and Peggy Fikac such that even on finding this link readers further are given only  the rather innocuous first paragraph of the lengthy report as the paper apparently prefers to highlight stories on how Republican Abbott the General's Democratic opponent Wendy Davis tried to restrict access to forty ounce beers in her hometown and another story attempting to distance Republican Abbott from the "disgusting" posters of the Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" reported on here in the previous post. The Ninth Amendment editorial board is confident that interested resourceful readers will succeed however in themselves accessing any other facts they may seek and draw their own conclusions.
       In any case the six law firms with legal determinations before Republican Abbott the General therefore are identified and bribes "donated" to his campaigns are listed directly in the San Antonio Express-News table below.

"Bond firms backing the AG  

Contributions from law firms or their political arms to Abbott between 2012-2013:

Childrens' Tech Screentime Curtailed By Steve Jobs And Many "High-Tech" Executive Parents Who Allow Very Limited Or None At All But For Homework With No Smartphones Until Age 14 Nor Data Plans Until Age 16 And In Any Case "Never" In The Bedroom

       Friday, 12 September 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment Editorial Board suggests that parents of minor children may be well advised to follow the lead of some of those who should know best including former Apple Computer chief Steve Jobs and many other current top executives of major internet players and their spouses about both educational pitfalls and more immediate real-world dangers that high-tech devices and internet "services" may bring often by stealth into their homes.
       Perhaps surprisingly most of those interviewed in the New York Times article linked below rather than having homes stuffed with iPads and the like instead have recounted rigorous household rules greatly limiting their youths' exposure to "reading" materials other than good old-fashioned paper-bound books, pens and paper particularly when it comes to anything other than legitimately creative endeavors and the necessity for computers in completing homework accompanied by family dinner conversations about current school learning and other areas of knowledge at tables with nary a tech device including screen to be found.
       Most interestingly many parents in top positions at some of the largest and biggest players in tech internet and other such companies completely ban devices and their use that other parents presumably less knowledgeable about the risks they entail for their children freely make available or even encourage as if it were a matter of right of passage to full-blown childhood. Specifically mentioned is the fact that many of these "high-tech" parents will not even allow the use of messaging devices and tech tools which keep a permanent record of personal communications which one day may come back to haunt their children from a time before they knew better than to make them.
        So sorry to Facebook's Zuckerboy, Myspace. Google+, Twitter (whose own top executives vigorously enforce such restrictive rules with their own children), Yahoo, LinkedIn and the hundreds of other such deceptively designated "social media" and e-mail, instant messenger, cellular call and text service privacy invaders and all manner of other commercial exploiters of personal information and communications for their own monetary gain.
       Regardless of whether or not they expressly "knowingly" cooperate their consistently repeated experience would alert anyone but a complete brain-dead idiot that willingly or not they are acting either constructively voluntarily in league with or as total imbecilic tools of their de facto U.S. "national security" partners who repeatedly and incessantly in wholesale criminal violation of privacy laws and other U.S. Constitutional rights and their penumbras in furtherance of their consistently misguided largely completely ineffective in the absence of actual painstaking police work criminal schemes which they bottom line justify by strong-arming what any self-respecting attorney knows or should know are completely convoluted self-serving BS made-to-order contrived bogus "legal" opinions ultimately based on nothing but the ridiculously farcical foundation that the criminal transgressions they endorse in clear violation of the U.S. Constitutional rights they are sworn to uphold can ever be more "compelling" under the U.S. Constitution than the rule of law itself.
       Many high-tech executives if they allow their children any such constantly illegally monitored activities at all allowed only specifically named services such as "Snapchat" which allegedly immediately dispose permanently of any such personal messages as soon as they are sent although based on the Ninth Amendment's experience with the U.S. Government's Executive Branch "national security underworld" we would have to find in this day and age any such assurance to be most highly suspect at best. Something that need be kept private and even for a moment is absorbed into a high-tech device even unconnected to a phone line, the internet or anything else to our understanding must immediately by sledgehammered to bits the size of pebbles burned in a barrel of jet fuel thrown with no outside observation whatsoever into the back of a dumpster on a dark Bedford-Stuyvesant sidestreet immediately emptied into the trash compactor in the back of an armored car converted into a dump truck taken directly to a mob-owned car-crusher after being liberally doused in liquid hazardous radioactive medical waste before being buried under hundreds of tons of similar debris piled on a half-mile long barge bound directly to China where it is permanently disposed of under a concrete highway along with the remains of the Twin Towers in an active volcanic crater.
       For similar reasons if one did not heed the example of these high-tech executives' universal warning to keep all such "high-tech" devices out of one's children's bedrooms we certainly would suggest keeping any computer camera or microphone even supposedly not in use well-covered with duct tape or better yet first with petroleum jelly or otherwise assume whether it is the Russian mafia, the NSA or any of a thousand others working solo or for another "outfit" that some creepy criminal geek working for whichever may well be watching and listening to one's under-age daughter talking about her parents, changing her clothes, sitting on the toilet, or worse....

Criminal Interference With Site Owner And Publisher Continues To Hamper Access To Ninth Amendment And That Of Readers To Site

       Tuesday, 29 July 2014, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - Apparent criminal interference with the Ninth Amendment site and apparent computer damage to internet-connected computers per the above apparently continues unabated especially since most recent Ninth Amendment post(s) regarding corrupt Texas Republican candidates for office including incumbents and others presently serving in appointee positions. The Ninth Amendment Log renews assistance sought of Google and any geographically proximate FBI field office to Ninth Amendment's local bureau requesting full investigation and prosecution for all pertinent and applicable state of Texas and federal crimes by those committing interference and other cyber crimes and crimes related to interference with exercise of Constitutional and all civil rights including under federal and Texas state statutes. Pageviews of Ninth Amendment reported since publishing of the Ninth Amendment's last notice post about six hours ago have increased by over about 1,000 per cent despite documented continuing attempts at site pageview interference of both the Ninth Amendment and its attempted readers.
       "Breaking into and causing damage to any internet-connected computer shall not be punishable by more than twenty (20) years imprisonment." The cynically named "Patriot" Act (Paraphrased here to the best of our lay recollection.) It is not known if anyone has ever actually read The "Patriot" Act in its entirety since the "W" Administration (Bush 43) allegedly snuck a replacement to the official Congressional Joint Committee version with ink still wet on its several hundred pages on the podium just moments before the final full Congressional vote on the so-called "Patriot Act" legislation chock-full of sections which had nothing to do with terrorism but previously had been overwhelmingly resoundingly rejected by Congress as clearly unconstitutional gross law enforcement and Executive Branch unenforceable over-reaching.
       The so-called most objectionable "sunset" provisions allegedly inserted in the original text were later in many cases made permanent at the urging of the President Obama administration including Constitutional-champion Attorney General Eric Holder which also has continued and expanded patently illegal and unconstitutional NSA and other Executive Agency illegitimate and therefore Constitutionally ineffective provisions as set forth as the basis of the underlying compact of the United States Constitution which provides that all power resides and emanates from the people and where such powers were never granted to the State by the People in the ratified text of the Constitution and its legitimately enacted Amendments all such State claims to authority are null and void as they remain residing exclusively in the People. (See, e.g. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.)
       THE FOREGOING DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE NOR DOES IT IN ANY WAY CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE WHICH MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON IN ANY WAY AND MUST ONLY BE SOUGHT FROM A PROPERLY LICENSED LEGAL PROFESSIONAL PREFERABLY NEVER HAVING SERVED AS COUNSEL TO FORMER "VICE"-PRESIDENT PROFITEER DICK "PIGHEART" CHENEY WHO ALLEGEDLY WOULD SIGN ANY LEGAL OPINION PROVIDED THAT IT MIGHT BE LOCKED FOREVER IN A SAFE WHERE NO ONE MIGHT EVER READ IT UNLESS IT WERE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BACK UNCOPIED BY FORCE FROM THEIR POSSESSION AND LOCKED UP AGAIN OUT OF SIGHT FOR ALL ETERNITY.

Criminal Interference Attempts Against Ninth Amendment Freedoms Of Speech And Press And Readers' Access To Site Resumed By Conspiring Parties' Felony Violations Of Federal And State Statutes

       Tuesday, 15 June 2014, SHREVEPORT AND HOUSTON, THE GULF OF COREXIT -  The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment once again reluctantly has determined that the time is upon us that we must creep about for a few hours because it is that brief period no longer than an extra-innings professional baseball game after luncheon and before the dinner hour when Texas present and former Governors and Presidents lay down for their nappy-time toddies perhaps occasionally arising from their untroubled slumbers to play another quick round of video golf or practice their penmanship signing all those darn papers that just keep coming no matter how fast they sign them and then check to make sure that all were signed right side up. An honest man must earn his money the honest way or it just does not feel right.*
       Fantasy worlds of sweet delusion aside the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment has decided actually at this time that the all too familiar increasing interference with domestic, interstate and international communications between our northern hemisphere headquarters and various technical support and news bureau locations such that one who did not know better might think that our rigorous investigative and reporting impartiality and focus of attention might be compromised by the implied complications inherent in various implicit and more explicit threats really is nothing more than an arguably refreshing opportunity to peruse the statutes for the latest draconian penalties enacted for cybercrimes both mundane and exotic and related newly criminal activities focused on information technology, computers and the Internet that the State has been so busily enacting in the broad sweep of its hysteria that the number of years those who intermittently maintain such an interest in attempting to disrupt and divert this site qualify for achieve a number that eventually becomes higher than we are able easily to count but certainly totals something on the order of several centuries' worth of lifetimes far greater than one person might ever reasonably expect to live.
        Then of course for good measure comes the time to throw on the less sexy (as they say in the profession) list of activities which are not cyber anything but nevertheless have been around for centuries since in most cases there also is a laundry list of predicate unlawful acts which one would rather just have skipped altogether but remain altogether necessary nevertheless in many cases just to get to the scene of the crime whether one likes it or not.
       And finally as if all that were not enough just to make sure some bad guy (or gal) who is not one of the lucky ones who secretly was slipped their get out of jail free card out of the woodwork come the seemingly non-specific innocuous-sounding but not really so much as one would think charges like conspiracy, aiding and abetting, knowledge before the fact, knowledge after the fact, obstruction of justice, attempted, abandoned (but not in time), and of course always the danger of misidentification, disidentification, robodentification, wrong prisoner, blind witness, jailhouse snitch one never even remembers seeing before, even God forbid a peace officer sworn to uphold the law but who describes you and your actions such that you do not even realize she is testifying under penalty of perjury about you.
        is it worth risking all that? Especially when one then will more likely than not be at the mercy of some other sick individual not a true friend but who will hold out, no way will he sell you out for a song. But then on the other hand, maybe for what he finally settled for which was a song and a sandwich. And you have nothing new to say?  So maybe they decide not to rat you out either. At least they only have something Well then on a slow day maybe it is time to speak of mandatory sentences, so sad everyone's hands are tied. Oh except come to think of it maybe there was that one person, that one alone who might change the charges just a little bit to manipulate the "mandatory" minimum. If only that dog had not barked, the one that just did not care for steak seasoned with valium.
       Well on the other hand someone could have had a handgun for self-defense. Maybe they never really made it to the gun range despite the best intentions. Likewise cleaning and oiling it. Anyway readers can tell where this one is going. Some of us had it happen right down the street. Two bad guys lost their shirts at a poker game so they followed another fellow who had cleaned up at the poker game home and into the house with him and his wife. Only problem was that they were two armed men and he was one in pajamas with his gun in the drawer. But he pulled out the gun beside his wife still sleeping and pandemonium ensued. Later it took the police a while to figure out how who got where.
       In any case the domestic gunfighter did get off a shot or two. The only problem was that the one he hit and killed was his wife. As for the other two they had been around the block, avoid ed the "gunfight", they just wanted the money. And sure enough the police did catch the guys which gives us the chance to add one last point to what seemed like such a simple little crime. The poker thief did not have a gun and did not take a shot at anyone. But the husband shot his wife dead during the crime. Because the law can be a strange thing with some little surprises. He was tried and went down for murder.
       So there is one last thing to add on to everything else when we try to add up all those years. The guy who had hardly a thing to do with any cybercrime ended up with one last thing about which to worry. Like everything else it seems it has its own name, a special circumstance, although it does not sound so special in a good sort of way.
       The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment has seen more than its share of the law. We do not particularly wish it on anyone although in this Country sometimes there is a cost for speaking your voice and writing things that not everyone will wish to hear. We do not do it because we hate our Country nor anyone in it. We do it because we love our Country it has a lot of problems but it is the best one on Earth. We aim to do our part to keep it that way with the clear instructions of the men and women (they could not sign it but we have no doubt where the true decisions were made). People will disagree on how best things are done until there are no people left but one.
      But we have the ground rules as straightforward as they can be. Our ancestors made a sacred compact that established the rights and responsibilities among many different people trying to live together in one country, and among the people and the State to which they would lend their power. From their own very painful experience they agreed foremost that with very few exceptions a person, a group of people and a press were free to say as they pleased and others respond as they wished.
       As the Ninth Amendment reminded readers before in times when persons disagreed with our words all persons have always been free to respond as they pleased elsewhere or with allowance provided right here for their comments published for all to read for themselves. However it is axiomatic that free speech in no way encompasses interference or attempting interference with another person's right to speak, to assemble and/or to publish what words they will. And finally as to the truth itself one can spend a lifetime trying to change facts, but so far as we are concerned a fact is a fact and the truth is the truth. And the truth cannot be denied nor ignored forever. That is a fact.

       Saturday, 21 June 2014, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - Another workday dawns at 1600 hours West Coast time for the hard-working Google former grade-school hackers turned gainfully employed computer specialists, social media provocateurs, disinformation statisticians, airwave toxicologists (why not?), national security analysts  and others desperately speed dialing, tapping into phone lines and/or drone eavesdropping on the VIP rooms of last evening all-night rave clubs to casually inquire if they might locate that prototype "Summer of Love"  necklace they accidentally wore home featuring the new microcomputer application and style statement cabinetry that Google was under contract to build for the CIA to turn those Androids disguised as love beads into combination antibiotic-sickened farm animal video games with TrueSmell,military-grade GPS drone "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" targeting systems, tiny little decapitation "Peace Sign" grenade beads, high-end MP3 players with professional quality headphones featuring improved Dr. Dre SuperBeatBass now producing sound out of both the left and right channels simultaneously, and of course pirated Samsung smartypantsphones with Google satellite-quality cameras and  Walgreen's long-range SuperSnoop microphones for HackerChat all of which is designed to blow up in a "smallish" simulated pyrotechnical explosion capable of leveling one square city block down to a depth of 300 feet beneath Manhattan's granite bedrock if not recovered and disarmed (important "two-step" bothersome but important "two-step" verification required) by Google child geniuses within twelve hours of reported "MOP" (misplacement of prototype) but if not featuring minimal collateral damage by first playing the chorus of the Village People's "Y-M-C-A" amplified at roughly the decibel level of the area behind an unpiloted F-35's (because all fighter pilots refuse to fly them as pilots stubbornly insist that flying while unconscious is inherently unsafe) jet engine firing up for lift-off from the George Herbert Walker Bush aircraft carrier.
       Then sometime after all those loose ends are tied up from the previous "day's" activities some intern might be sent to read the bloggers, website owners and that crowd's usual couple million worldwide complaints about "known issues" and try a quick "workaround" until it is time for the gang to head off to the next houseparty. In any case the Ninth Amendment is not presently in a position to determine if statistics as graphed above have any basis in reality whatever that is, but as their somewhat obvious irregular rhythms have come to characterize Google's daily reported statistics for the site the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board has developed a certain amount of curiosity as to whether others may be having similar experiences with Google as late and if so wishes to encourage them to lay it on that "Send feedback" to Google invitation at the bottom of the screen..

Highest Europe Court Strikes Google And Other Engines Harsh Blow Orders Google Remove Search Results With Privacy Data Links At Individual's Request Again Protecting Privacy As U.S. Does Not

       Sunday, 18 May 2014, LUXEMBOURG - European regulators and/or courts after previously as reported here having smacked CIA operative Mark "Zuckerboy" Zuckerman's Facebook with a big fat book in its own face with a fine nearing $1 billion for its misuse of sophisticated facial recognition spy technology in its European operation which the social media-cum-global spying metadata collector aka "Facelog" aka "Mugbook" openly still deceptively uses in the United States and other countries this past week again struck a harsh and costly blow against another United States-based once-"friendly" Internet presence search engine now monster "social media plus" hopeful metadata collector and admitted CIA partner Google based in Mountain View, California ruling in an unappealable decision by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg against Google ordering it to remove personal privacy information links when requested by affected individuals.
       As confirmed in a recent airing of part one of two of the excellent PBS WGBH-Boston produced television Frontline special "The United States of Secrets" (part two to be aired in the U.S. in coming days and available in its entirety on DVD) "whistleblower" superuser John Snowden unequivocally states that there no longer is anything such as "private" information. Every loose shred of each millisecond of once-private moments of even domestic readers lives all gushes unfettered (unconstitutionally regardless of what FISA may "determine" on command - never read about that government branch in the U.S. Constitution? - do not worry neither have we) nonstop direct to the State to the critical point where terabytes of information literally ready to leak out the windows of the NSA's Fort Meade, Maryland headquarters from overloaded overheated supercomputer superservers now reportedly have been spread far and wide throughout hundreds if not thousands of nondescript office parks encircling Washington, D.C. and God knows where else literally drowning the State in unconstitutionally collected, data-mined, recorded, stored, "analyzed" for national security purposes (yeah, right) any and all information and data on American and all the world's citizens.
       Everything readers search, type, do, say, photograph, or any information whatsoever readers may even unknowingly reveal purposely or completely inadvertently including due to data leaks they do not even understand exist are duly recorded, processed, packaged, shared in real-time and passed on in readers' worst Orwellian nightmares gone exponentially awry by the likes of Facebook and Google to their CIA, NSA partners and presumably just about anyone else who now carries some sort of tin badge or contractor I.D. that reads "National Security" handler.
     The present routine accepted protocol in the United States when any individual objects upon discovering what even obviously is their "private" personal information readily accessible by links to other Internet sources is that the individual has no recourse against Google any other search engine nor computer application functioning in that capacity may only request the individual or entity who established the link remove it. To which completely toothless request whoever established the link refuses. End of story.
     However in the case at hand brought to the European Justice Court by a Spanish lawyer who tried to get monster Google to remove links to decades-old online newspaper accounts of his ancient personal tax and debt difficulties Europe's highest court issued its ruling that Google itself and other outfits like it must remove such personal data links when requested by the violated individuals.
     Lawyers for Google presumably advised by their able "shadow" legal advisers at the United States' malignant growth of national security agencies, outfits, contractors and whatever other unconstitutional enterprises proliferate daily under hypocrite President Barack "Transparency" Obama (all election-year promises to the contrary ignored) doubtless whined, cajoled, threatened and spooked the Court about the risks, dangers and so on of hiring, dealing with, talking to, looking at and what-all of persons who might be harboring something such as undisclosed poor dental habits (despite peoplekind's somehow managing to get by without this type of information of every one of their neighbors for the entire history of the human race until about the past couple decades) until the Coourt's gavel slammed down, and the lawyers told to shut up. Presumably this would have prevented them from neglecting to address that it was at least equally likely the personal information and data link leaks were "but for" causation for untold harassment, stalking, crimes particularly against children and women, acts of domestic terror, kidnapping, rapes, murders, and so on.
     In the wake of what could be a long-overdue well-deserved devastating ruling to the likes of Google and others with their inflated heads now literally totally in the clouds run totally amok treating the United States Constitution as if it were some new kind of beta app Google said with the sickening rote swagger of what have come to appear to be completely dissociated persons and entities seemingly teeming in Silicon Valley, Gulch, Wherever who have come to sound like the toxicity of silicon overload may finally have irreversibly completely permeated all parts of their brains presumably once capable of formidable forethought now however leaving seemingly only their primordial brain stems active, Google declined comment on the Court's final decision which cannot be appealed because Google "needed time to study it". Oh, please.

Welcome Aboard New Zealand! From The Ninth Amendment All Americans McMurdo Naval Air Station And The Pacific Territories

     Sunday, 24 January 2014, McMURDO NAVAL AIR STATION AND LANDFILL - With Ninth Amendment readers now spanning most of the Northern Hemisphere and especially American diplomatic, military and National Security facilities it is most always a pleasure to welcome new readers from new countries and parts of the world seeking the truth whether it hails from North, East, West, or, yes, South. For reasons of prudence our long-time readers will know that when unfamiliar servers, countries and IP addresses not known to us to be associated with our blogging friends at Google and their CIA partners make themselves apparent to our military-trained IT and cryptography specialists it is our habit to share some of that new information available to those of our readers who may be interested.
     Some of the newest countries purportedly to have joined us have been the United Arab Emirates and as noted in the above "Welcome" the formerly reputedly pastoral country of New Zealand (believed by those who have never been there or off the tourist bus nor ferry in any case, to be one of the least governmentally corrupt countries in the world along with Canada. Ahem.
     That new provided server IP address 184.105.8293 (IPV4 more likely IPV5) apparently serving us intermittently since at least 13 October 2013 is not, in fact, in good old Mountain View, California but instead identifies its location as, yes, the United Arab Emirates running through Chrome 11.0 on a Linux platform.
     In any case as we like to say the BAMA-OBAMA-SAS-CIA-NSA-MI5 Do It Again, Babe! Misinformation-Disinformation Shuffle it is all the same to us so long as the truth reaches our readers (even if the demographics may confuse our advertisers a bit). GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
     And now finally a few questions for our newcomers to ponder whom we always like to give a big New Jersey-style Goodfella welcome, just like Lufthansa did. It is a small world after all.

1. Was the United States moon landing staged?
2. Who pitched a perfect National League Baseball game while on LSD?
3. Who was the Soviet called "The Guy Who Saved The World" by the head of the US military archives?
4. Have you had a spouse die in bed in the past couple years while out at a party?
5. What is the Law Against Perpetuities?
6. Should you be in maximum security prison would you prefer living in the "general population" or the SHU?
7. Do you ever feel you are on "The Dark Side of the Moon" (copyright Pink Floyd) and never returning?
8. Why do United States Air Calvary troops sit on their helmets while their helicopters are in flight?
9. What Governor of Texas shot a coyote with a laser-sighted six-shooter carried in his running shorts?
10. Do you think the NSA should watch your daughter get dressed for college, her wedding, your funeral?
BONUS QUESTION: Please explain why time goes backward when you go faster than the speed of light?

And may we never forget Harvard genius mathematics professor and songwriter Tom Lehrer (copyright):

OEDIPUS REX

Oedipus Rex, oh, Oedipus Rex
He had quite a complex complex

And when he found out what he'd done
He tore his eyes out one by one

A tragic end for a loyal son
Who loved his mother!

Some Sly Tricks Of The Tradecraft As It Were, Keywords Hack, Steal, Spy, Eavesdrop, iPhone, E-Mail, Master, Password, Phrasestring, Privacy, Constitution, Guns, Lawyers, Money

       Thursday, 8 August 2013, NORTH HAVEN, MAINE - Well the ruling elite is off from their five-day weekend houses in the Hamptons to their five-week summer houses off the coast of Maine. The cooks, au pairs and housekeepers are keeping the children out of sight and setting out the hard liquor  We are fighting with the locals and longtimers over mooring amongst the sailboats our 250-foot power yacht (just slightly longer than the Ferry) bought with Google AdSense pocket change and tastefully emblazoned down the hull in "graffiti-look" the words "AMENDMENT NINE AIN'T SHE FINE!" Seems our fuel requirements to fill up will empty the Vinal Haven marina fuel tanks until sometime next Spring. Perfect!
       Anyway dawn is breaking over Penobscott Bay or maybe it is just early evening but anyway we did promise SOME content. Okay, this one is not on e-mail as expected (look up "hush mail" readers who just cannot wait), but we know are readers are sure to love it anyway. No doubt some are aware of the battle raging between the D.A.s of San Francisco and Manhattan about the disabling of MePhones. The D.A.s say they now are responsible for something like half of all street crime. The manufacturers meanwhile are saying it is impossible to turn one off (unless the bill is not paid). No really one can only imagine the hit to sales and SHARE PRICE of Apple and Samsung if everyone were not forced to buy two or three of each model of phone due to theft. It could bring the economy to its knees.
       Now here is a Ninth Amendment solution courtesy of an unnamed friend who comes up with ideas like the following about three a minute when not dumpster diving in the abandoned DEA trash (did readers know the Agency even has its very own MOUSEPADS?) or especially Costco's (it has been known to throw out entire RACKS of mountain bikes because they are last season's or cases of super-expensive light bulbs because a couple were broken in shipping), and that is just the START of an evening's dumpster shoppin. . .
       The idea for the MePhones is fairly simple but then are not all the best ideas? Have our readers figured out what all those buttons and holes and little switches and things do yet? Do not worry neither have we. Just find the sequence which allows one to put some text across the front of the phone, and if being a reader not a video game player one cannot find it have a child do it for you. Then just pick some effective phrase and have it display across the front of the phone. In our case it is amazing how effective the two simple words "No Service" have been in eliminating all interest in our phones. Sorry Apple and Samsung.
       Well the e-mail tips will mostly have to await another day, but the phone one above was worth at least a few hundred dollars would our readers not say? Readers first tip, though, is that according to the computer magazines which we do NOT read, the password/master password thing is out for most of us who otherwise spend our nights awake sweating trying to remember what we have forgotten no longer having any time to actually do anything like write e-mails, bank, pay bills, etc., as we are so busy managing all our passwords and latest security devices and updating our operating systems, browsers, add-ons, tending to sick plug-ins and so on, and then it is time to go out and buy the next generation of "heavy equipment" . . . 
       Anyway, they call them "passphrases" and we really could not tell our readers if they are adequate or not. Supposedly anyway after having been told that pet names, birthdays, and now just any old words are out because of "dictionary" attacks we understand the latest things are "passphrases" which are a few words strung together in a not completely predictable way and which we actually might have a chance of remembering. Oh and one more thing of course is the big recommendation of late that one do the "two-step" security with the second step being, you guessed it naturally, a final security code to punch in called to the phone which one just had stolen. . . .
       Until next time, happy computing, and get ready for some more real tried but true "tradecraft", like the three consecutive turns when being followed, the (states names will be coming next time) trust for the car's registration and about ten other things one would rather keep private, clicking the car door open just BEFORE, PLEASE SAFETY FIRST the tow truck is about to pick it up (occupied vehicle), the homemade mailbox added at the end of the rural row, and so on. . . .  But first and foremost, and we will remind you again before we continue:  Never do anything about which one has doubts before consulting a duly licensed attorney.
       Living off the grid without the good old U.S.D.A. grade "A", hey, hey, hey.

The Sudden Disappearance Of http/t.co/1kXhhiBrBe

     Friday, 19 July 2013, SAN FRANCISCO - The ubiquitous appearance in various statistical compilations and analyses of the referring site and URL http/t.co/1kXhhiBfBE has been lost neither on the editorial staff of the Ninth Amendment nor other official entities unmasking parties of interest in the convergence of recent diverse investigations of an apparent conspiracy to improperly monitor and collect information with illegal intent and means falling within the scope of elements appearing to comprise those both of relatively recently enacted cybercrimes and other laws which have existed so long as peoplekind have sadly operated from and acted upon bad motives.
     Possible candidates for criminal activities as previously noted in our most recent posts have included a range of possible counts from those dating from the common law to others appearing in the statute books only in recent years with the advent of, i.e., identity theft and an ever-broadening array of others reflecting the seriousness with which our society has come to take the potential for compromise of its most personal information through the vagaries of the "information age" and the vast potential for abuse which it affords those who are so inclined to avail themselves of whatever means it affords them to leverage wrongful acts such that they are in a position to pose a threat and harm to a far broader range of victims than in times past.
     In any case the Ninth Amendment Log does not as always accept remuneration of any type nor in any way coordinate or disclose in advance to those whom we might mention in a post a favorable comment which is based solely on our own opinion and experience with some product or service solely motivated by our own inclination to do so. Here in examining seeming oddities of results using familiar tools in our own amateur attempts to collect information on sites such as the one mentioned in the header and first sentence of this post we find ourselves having visited a site with which we have had frequent prior experience, www.webrankstats.com, but in this case finding it leading to sources intentionally stripped of identifying information.
     Readers who are not yet familiar with sites of this type, meaning that which is the one directly above, may find it interesting to visit it or other like sites or those from which it compiles information, in order to collect more information on sites of interest to them, including their history, performance, progress amongst its peers on the web and so on. Meanwhile it has been our fascination along with sleep deprivation recently to have become acquainted with individuals for whom such sites are essentially no more than a toy or casual diversion, their depth of experience with the web being nothing less than astounding in the amount of information they are able to glean from it at locations and by means and speeds that defy belief.
      As we have mentioned when one finds oneself at a point confronted with what from all appearances are resource-intensive efforts intended to intimidate, influence or silence including through the use of seemingly intentionally ill-concealed barely indirect communications of suggested surveillance and other invasive practices including those that would conspire and attempt to interfere with our own fundamental rights to express our views, opinions and fundamentally political satirical comment, a cornerstone of American political speech, up to including to the level of poorly cloaked threats, we are only too happy to call in the experts and grateful beyond expression for their immediate willingness to spend hours on the paths which to them it would appear might as well have been left with breadcrumbs or even confessions just waiting to be signed.
     We intend to keep communicating to all we can and we cannot express our appreciation enough for our loyal and well-meaning readers who would keep themselves apprised of developments. Vulnerability is borne of silence alone in the dark whereas, as we have so often before repeated, the people United and apprised of developments in the sunshine of the truth can never be defeated.

"Massive Cyberattack" Hits Internet Disrupts Worldwide Web Service Allgedly Launched By Cyberbunker, Others Against Non-Profit Spamhaus

     Tuesday, 2 April 2013, AMSTERDAM - The Ninth Amendment's Amsterdam bureau reports corroborating information regarding what other sources including CNN have called a "massive cyberattack" allegedly launched by Dutch company Cyberbunker and other alleged conspirators last Friday, 29 March 2013 against non-profit Spamhaus Group which provides free data used by companies including many e-mail service providers to block up to 80% of the world's "spam" dissemination on the internet. Cyberbunker based in a former military bunker in Holland reportedly boasts that it provides servers for worldwide dissemination of any type of material except "child porn" or that aiding or abetting "terrorists".
     The alleged Cyberbunker attack was reported to be a "denial of service" attack against Spamhaus which consists of directing overwhelming amounts of internet traffic to its servers so as to shut them down. Spamhaus in an effort to avoid being literally knocked off the internet employed a technique of redirecting the huge volume of traffic onto the internet, apparently in such great amounts that it subsequently impacted and significantly disrupted much of the internet's worldwide traffic. Although the alleged three-day Cyberbunker attack reportedly ended it has now been picked up by other hackers and/or presumably corporate enemies of non-profit Spamhaus.
     Although this attack apparently has reached unparalleled proportions the perceived feud (at least by Cyberbunker) between Cyberbunker and Spamhaus reportedly has continued for some time. Although the Ninth Amendment at this time lacks information from law enforcement sources the private internet security firm engaged by Spamhaus has cast the alleged Cyberbunker attack as a debilitating denial of free speech on the internet whereas Spamhaus provision of data on entities such of spammers is entirely at the discretion of companies such as e-mail providers which voluntarily choose to use it to protect their computer and time resources as well as those of their users and customers.
     This CNN report which readers may access directly from the link below was brought to the attention of many by Avast! Corporation along with the provision of a free routine upgrade. Avast! currently is the leading provider of free and subscription virus protection programs. Readers are advised that reviews of much free and subscription software such as Avast! are available at www.cnet.com along with free downloads. Many computer experts this year have withdrawn their top recommendation for Microsoft Security Essentials which readers can research on their own with simple internet searches.
     Furthermore many computer experts such as the Ninth Amendment's own expert consultant BigBigJoe recommend that for most computer users choosing a single security software whether free or paid is one's most advisable course of action to, among other things, avoid conflicts between the different software which actually may identify elements of one another as various kinds of computer security threats and secondly because BigBigJoe recommends not overburdening one's computer with, excuse our English, too much "crap" that slows down or even causes one's computer eventually frequently to crash, resulting in one of most computer companies' favorite misconceptions.
     That being that it is time to pull out one's wallet and "upgrade". Translation: Dump out more money for more processing/memory power to accommodate more unwanted garbage that often is merely dumped onto readers' computers with a variety of "clever", or perhaps borderline fraudulent, techniques. Alternatively to run poorly and sloppily written software which eats up unimaginable amounts of computer resources such as the programming for which Microsoft has earned its infamy amongst many of those apparently in the know.
     Such as for example programmers for Microsoft and Apple who actually often do not use their own companies' software to write their "product" but instead rely on freeware such as Linux. Finally one way to avoid downloading unwanted software, toolbars, homepages, etc.is to refrain from running "express" downloads but instead choose the other option for "experts", i.e. those with the patience to review what actually is being downloaded along with their "free" software. After all, when it comes to for-profit America is anything really "free"? As we understand it, although we are not offering legal advice which can only be provided by a duly licensed attorney, in our lay understanding these corporations do have an obligation to maximize profits for shareholders within the limits of the law. Oh, yeah.
