Some Fair Comment Excerpts From "The Private Investigator's Handbook" By Chuck Chambers, P.I. - Slick Street Moves For Law-Abiding Investigators

     Saturday, 24 August 2013, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - The editorial staff and global bureaus of the Ninth Amendment log are all too aware that there continue to be many tragic, frightening and downright sick events unfolding in this all-too-small world which we and our readers like it or not share with an unfortunately large number of often odious, sometimes shadowy and frequently surprisingly obviously unwell characters who have shall we say not for all appearances yet met their Salvation. We are aware the feeling in some cases may be mutual. Amen.
     This post is not about all that, we would hope. Please think of it more in the spirit of the classification of say the awesomely talented author Graham Greene, himself formerly a member of the British Foreign Service (ahem), of an abbreviated weekend "entertainment".  For those of our readers who are as yet unaware of the phenomenon there exist an abundance of materials describing "tips, tricks, traps" and so on (loosely) promising a lifetime of easy money "passive" streams flowing through the mere authorship of logs, blogs, web pages and the like which would seem to rely entirely on the manipulation of design, statistics, keywords, algorithms, natural cures and "free money" (Kevin Trudeauisms). The ability actually to write does not appear to be a requirement for success in this burgeoning field.
     In any case we have decided instead to attempt to entice our worldwide readership with a bit of "fair comment" on some recent summer reading which we found at points particularly engrossing depending in many cases on our individual situations, tastes, hobbies and areas of interest. That reading being namely "The Private Investigator's Handbook," ("the Handbook") copyright 2005 Chuck Chambers, P.I., the author a former Palmetto, Florida police patrolman and later member of the county drug task force who at the time of writing the Handbook claimed over 20,000 cases in twenty-two years as a Private Investigator.
     The back cover of the book attests to his development of "an impressive list of clients, including sports and entertainment personalities". Not the least of whom we will disclose to have learned in the Handbook to be the notorious "Pee-Wee" Herman in case our readers were wondering how the infamous "dark movie theater" outlaw (apart from the alleged but never convicted Lee Harvey Oswald) was whisked by Mr. Chambers unmolested from hotel room to court appearance and back again (also a striking difference of course from Mr. Oswald's fate who perhaps may have fared better in the care of Mr. Chambers than that of Dallas' finest).
     In his own words Mr. Chambers states in the Introduction to the Handbook that "[i]n this litigious time, my goal is to empower the private citizens who need undercover legal assistance, but don't have the money to obtain justice or protect themselves, by hiring a professional. With this book, you can hire yourself."  We found that last sentence especially catchy. . . . But seriously here we wish to emphasize our disclaimers regarding NOT having any particularized NOR OTHER knowledge in this area which we most certainly DO NOT. This post is offered strictly for its human interest value and as intimated above a species of test as to what DOES drive a post's audience.
     Moreover obviously times and laws have changed continuously Mr. Chambers emphasizes, "they" (always?) say it is a more dangerous world, and Mr. Chambers himself stresses that essentially in ANY case where one perceives personal danger BACK OFF and NOTIFY LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES as appropriate. Finally Mr. Chambers' use of the words "protect themselves" quoted above is not read by us to in any way mean that the Handbook nor the advice therein is any substitute for personal protection in any way involving human health or safety.
     The Ninth Amendment repeats its ritual reminder that in making fair comment on the Handbook so far as this post is read as a recommendation of the book itself for any entertainment, information or other value the Ninth Amendment log has received no money nor any other remuneration whatsoever from anyone. Should any related advertisement appear outside the text of the post itself we express no choice nor exert any control in that matter although readers may rest assured if any entity becomes richER as a result of any such commercial "message" as they say on television that would be Google and possibly its joint venturer the CIA (depending on pertinent agreements and law) and alas not us.
     Now enough already would our readers rather have a taste of techniques for catching a cheating spouse or ascertaining the odds of one's vehicle being followed? In the interests of marital harmony as it were we here will opt for a taste of the latter from the pages of the Handbook. . . . Although we first might as well tempt our readers with Mr. Chambers asserted percentages as to the first matter. Aww, never mind who wants to start a Sunday morning like that?

TAILING STATISTICS (PER THE HANDBOOK)
     Percentage of  cases that involve tailing:     70
     Percentage who catch a professional tailing them:     10
     Percentage of divorce cases that require tailing a spouse:     95    (sorry...)
    Number of vehicles used to conduct a one-week tail:     6
    Number of vehicles used on a single tail:     2 to 4
    Percentage of marks who are looking for a tail:     60
    Percentage of cases resolved with evidence from tailing:     90 to 95
    Chances that tailing is illegal if you have a legitimate legal reason:     0  (we hope so)
    Cost per hour to hire a top P.I. to conduct surveillance:     $75      (year 2005)
    Cost to hire yourself:     0 to $350     (year 2005)

     Now before we say farewell and get to studying our readership statistics, we trust our readers will wish to know, according to Mr. Chambers after a lengthy discussion of techniques for tailing on different types of roads, perhaps most importantly "WHEN TO TURN TAIL" might seem advisable:

THEY ARE:
Your mark makes U-Turns on a four lane road
Your mark continues to make turns or circles in a parking lot

     Well that exhausts Mr. Chambers final list, but we are confident OUR readers can think of a couple more circumstances in which "WHEN TO TURN TAIL" might seem even MORE than advisable. As always hoping our readers can save some of their hard-earned cash and, above all, stay safe, be safe.

Noose Tightens On Federal-Prison Bound Cybercriminals In Resounding National Endorsement Of Free Speech And Global Thirst For Freedom Of Expression, Cheney To Trade Pigheart For Teenage Human Body Parts

     Sunday, 18 August 2013, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - The Ninth Amendment this week celebrates a spate of birthdays amongst dear friends, close schoolmates, famous persons and B-B-Q lovers not the least of whom is former President Bill Clinton who shares a birthday with one particularly devoted figure who has contributed doggedly to the steady quality growth of readership in the Ninth Amendment for over half a decade now. It is only fitting this post is submitted out of the above dateline location that being the ostensible home of our main server location with of course mirror locations around the globe.
      "Mirror servers" remind us of one particularly ugly investment in Akamai pushed on us by a former sellout friend who was a decent attorney and personal investor but became a very sorry lapboy pig of criminal "full-service" brokerage PaineWebber that sure did some full service on all the retirement money we ever made in public interest work. Later combining with confessed criminal Swiss bank United Bank of Switzerland in the "dynamic criminal duo" UBS PaineWebber those greedy morons actually discouraged investments in Akamai when a prescient non-insider engineer at Akamai who said "buy, buy, buy" with it selling at about three dollars a share pnksheet, because there was nothing in it for UBS PW. Later once criminal UBS PaineWebber underwrote the stock, however (was on the take) it encouraged purchases at $375 a share the day before Akamai plummeted "good-bye" about a third never to return from an excruciatingly long dive to bankruptcy. For most that was a GOOD investment with UBS PaineWebber one's one-place stop for capital losses.
     Come to think of it we cannot wait to write some posts on that and some other criminal financial services "full-service" outfits and their ugly practices such as taking (legal, huh?) kickbacks for executing your orders on the many exchanges which actually make up a single exchange hunting for a trade like a pig snorting for a truffle on which IT not YOU makes the money, innocuously known as "flowback for order flow" as annually fully disclosed on index cards only legible when read in a mirror with 3-D glasses. Yes they sure do give a reader FULL SERVICE with the GARDEN HOSE. 
     The only one that must give us a bigger chuckle is BANK OF AMERICA which is simply put the biggest bunch of "legitimized" thieves in the world (just our humble uninformed opinion) who admittedly cannot even perform simple math without making exponential errors consistently in guess whose favor? Dear Readers, think we would mislead you?  Find out at your peril.
     We cannot even dissuade our mothers from trusting their Canadian pennies (that is usually all that is left by the time BANK OF AMERIKA is done with their change purses and shaking out grandmother's mattresses) at that -- VERY loosely speaking "bank". Do our readers think B your A will come after us for such irresponsibly absolutely totally TRUE statements? Unlikely. We just have one thing to say to our readers who have their money or anything of value (Bank of Amerika shamelessly even steals senior citizens wallets right out of their purses while fingerprinting them --  a practice with which B your A management certainly should feel comfortable) at the money facilitator of that which happens to be the largest criminal or any other kind of bankruptcy in history. PARMALAT, Italian style - look it up and weep.
     And five dollars to cash a check on one of its own bank account holders' instruments?  These people have neither shame nor brains, but their teeth sure are white (and sharp). Our regrets to the many clueless employees of B your A -- in this case we strongly recommend another job or sure even the unemployment line -- better that than working for these crooks unless of course one is in training to become one oneself.
     Gosh, did we say that? Well we must have meant it. Perhaps these cybercriminals who have been chocking up the years -- see earlier posts for their phone numbers and other identifying information they were good enough to leave behind on their criminal hacking forays -- have gotten to us a bit interfering with our speech and threatening our children and those we love. Our thanks again to any and all Feds who have been on the good side throughout. And once convicted we look forward to sharing their sorry attempts in our fabricated e-mails at . . . the English language?
     Please keep posted because should anyone slip through the cracks we fully expect a significant reward will be on the way for information directly leading to the arrest, convictions, and no less than two oh let us say five years federal prison time. First let us sit back and watch the rats jump from the ship, pointing their dirty nails at one another. Everyone loves a rat with dirty nails. . . .
     Finally the Ninth Amendment is delighted to be back with a lot of really fine equipment on loan. And no kidding the "stats" we soon will compile and share with readers not already having done it (somehow) on their own do show the Ninth Amendment is now read by readers in more than half the countries on the planet including nearly the entire Northern Hemisphere with the exception of North Korea. One can only sell so man pairs of the Elvis (later years' look) sunglasses.
     Soon we expect to be sharing the highlights of those stats -- even if they are supplied by Google with joint-venturer the Center for International Assassinations (CIA). If compiling our stats keeps the CIA from murdering people and leaving the American people to face the inevitable unexpected mystery killer "blowback" we are all for that.
     In the meantime think about how much the average reader might wish to contribute to the reward (held in trust) and as with all not to be collectible by those doing their jobs anyway to help send these criminals away -- start dangling a handful of dimes (in the words of Jim Morrison) in front of their noses, and it sure will be interesting to see for how much the rats will sell each other down the river.  Not much we would guess as by all accounts the stupidity of the cybercrime is just how easily the trail leads both ways. Oh my blowback indeed. 
      And soon enough back to some of the pressing questions by necessity pushed aside. Has the DEA really committed YET ANOTHER colossal blunder sending America's sick and in pain and young to the morgue with bodies full of super-strong heroin in the latest in a long uninterrupted history of MAJOR POLICY BLUNDERS in the same sorry name of "public safety"? "Public safety" for the D.E.A. means taking away their guns and giving them water pistols and toy doctor bags somewhere they can stay out of trouble for a long, long time, as in until their D.E.A. mousepads (available in YOUR local dumpster) have rotted away and no one really remembers what the acronym stood for back to its proud (huh?) origins in Prohibition. Dumb Enough Already (DEA).
     But could it be that President Obama former admitted drug dealer himself will actually live up to some of those nearly decade-old campaign promises and, along with Attorney General Eric Holder, let some of the EIGHT HUNDRED PER CENT increase in the federal prison population go into treatment and leave a little room for the truly violent? Those who we largely have the phony "war on drugs" to thank for anyway, and sorry folks by the way it did not start in the 1980's. It has been a cynical ploy since well before that that had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with all the lies of Republican icon "Tricky Dick" Nixon ("the Christmas Day Bomber") and sidekick "Spiro Agnew" who supplied his failed condo complex as the still present-day EPA Headquarters above a Safeway, pardoned just in the nick of time as they were dusting his cell in the Republican Hall of Fame. Spiro "my man" the only Vice President who maybe even had one up on fellow "construction" investor on Dick "Pigheart" Cheney (we hear he is trading in Central American teenage body parts down on the Mexican-Belize border, may even get one himself a new heart when the kid stops screaming). And the Republicans are afraid of Hillary?

No Warning: Hacking For Dummies 415 Email "Terror" Hacker Rejects Two-Year Plea, Loses House And Gets 18 Years In The Big House (Not By The Sea)

     Saturday, 10 August 2013, BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, TEXAS  The Editorial Board of the Ninth Amendment log is most grateful for Little L's generous diversion of time from her own most busy and intensive, independent investigative work currently on projects with others to assist the Ninth Amendment log in its cooperation with both public and private Law Enforcement Individuals and Agencies in Washington D.C., Austin, Texas, and the San Francisco Bay Area to whom the Ninth Amendment remains most grateful and confident  in their abilities to bring the CRIMINALS responsible for a growing  list of cyber and other crimes related to the matter of the attempted disruption of this publication unfettered exercise of it's Constitutional Rights to swift and certain (not to mention extremely lengthy see-below terms-of-justice).  We of course are all saddened for the moment by the present unfortunate circumstances until these Criminals are cooling their heels for a decade or two in Federal Prison.  In the meantime, in the Spirit of as they say in New Hampshire "Live Free or Die" Little L shares with our readers some of the benefits of  her own recent research should those readers be concerned about the integrity of their own personal email and other computer communications.  In that Spirit, Little L wishes to offer to, yes it is true, FACTS FOR THE DAY:  (1) We call the address bar at the top of our or any web page the URL line.  We do not know and we do not care the important thing is that we look at the beginning in the upper left for the letters "https".  The "s" stands for "Secure".  It does not mean our connection is totally secure (President Obama-Bama-BoBama and his sell-out Geek College Students, as well as, some of the bad guys can still read it).  But it is better than nothing.  (2)  The second and to me the more exciting FACTS FOR THE DAY, and our fine readers will learn more about this in our promised upcoming post when we can get  one out after the criminals take a break from increasing their prison terms is that in my recent research assisting the Ninth Amendment  RAROTONGA, COOK ISLANDS, Research Bureau I discovered that the Ninth Amendment is about to rate the following (SHHHHHH you did not hear it from me) our favorite word "FREE" and is based in an exotic foreign country where they do not let the monkeys read your mail and you choose your own super-cool  ".com" in your email address.  And the WINNER is as the foregoing hints www.hushmail.com!  Be sure and pick yours soon before all the good ones are gone.

     As Big M always reminds us in instances such as this the Ninth Amendment log never  under any circumstance receives any money nor remuneration whatsoever for suggestions, endorsements or recommendations that we make in our posts which are based solely on our own experience, opinion or information.  The Ninth Amendment of course is not responsible for nor does it make any decision as to the placement of advertisements by Google Ad Sense or nor any of Google's other most recent commercial endorsers.

     Hello, this is your LOYAL Little L, REPORTER-AT-LARGE.  Before I report the most instructive news report below, I first wish to tell all our Dear Readers how pleased I am to have this opportunity to visit, if only for a short time.  I miss you all, I will be back

     Now lets get back to the Guy I mentioned in the headlines above, WOW talk about a wicked neighbor, this guy takes the cake!  I don't know about you, but I certainly do not want a guy like this living next to me.  I have provided the following link so that you can read for yourself the lengths some really sick and mentally deranged people will go to to be vindictive and downright evil. Are you ready? Oh, by the way, make sure and read the rest of this post.  I have highlighted some of the most important and pertinent information from the article for your safe keeping should you find yourself victim to someone like this GUY!!!!!.  Okay, here is the link to the article I want you to read from Wired.com. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/07/hacking-neighbor-from-hell/

     I know, I know I was really sick after I read the article myself.  But the good news is that this Oldie, but Goodie Article gave you and me some very valuable information.  I learned, that there is help available.  I would not hesitate to contact any and all authorities including my local Police, District Attorney, as well as the FBI, just to mention a few if I felt my accounts had been compromised.  I would also tell everyone I know about my predicament.  I would ask them all to notify me immediately if they felt they had receive any suspicious correspondence. In addition, the victim in this article had legal help.  The victim had a PACKET SNIFFER installed and the victim had a forensics computer investigator who reviewed the packet logs. which ultimately led to the apprehension of the perpetrator.

     Dear Readers, we at the Ninth Amendment hope that this never, ever happens to you, but if you do find yourself compromised, we hope that this information helps.  Until next time, be nice to your neighbors or don't.  It's your call!!!

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.

"Zuck" Zuckerboy Facebook Security Threatens "Fight" United States And World Governments No PRISM Prison

                                          *  THIS POST RE-EDITED FOR COHERENCE *

       Monday, 5 August 2"013, DUBLIN - In the pages of Google Bloggerdom it is a time for quiet reflection on the modest advances made by Google in the past ten years. It has been an arduous long journey from the MIT-spawned little honest-to-goodness little "link-based" academic search engine that could lugging its boxes of test tubes and printer cables out to a garage in Palo Alto (oh, please) to just another giant Beltway-Tech Gulch national security front that would catalog the world and everything that lives on, in or under it after first selling them each and every one something and call it (why not?) "social media" whatever that supposedly means. And just as in the spirit of the others everyone gets a badge, just like in Nazi Ger. . .  oh never mind.
     This fine day as a few more pennies roll into our Google "trust" account we reflect as destiny or perhaps less glamorously merely petty human interruptions beyond our immediate control would have it writing our post with some regularity or at least let us say "from time to time" ever mindful of the Ninth Amendment Log's fundamental duty to our very own (hard)core public followers and very secret other admirers (well, okay, readers anyway) perhaps now so jaded that nothing ever surprises this close circle of Ninth Amendment "elite" except at times that darn CIA (is it still around,  it did what?)  and those occasional Republican upset victory winners who land in the Beltway propelled straight out of the Dark Ages (or the early skirmishes of Boston Harbor in the Revolutionary War they might imagine) from what state? threatening what? This is not always so easy as it might seem, even with our global staff of ten thousand and growing. (No we do not get the proceeds from the tasteful little billboards Google insists on hanging from the Van Goghs and the Dalis.)

       In short the readers who keep our WOT "sociometer" rating at a solid "what" (insuring at least on good days almost a nickel trickling in per post to our Google trust account after Google gets its cut with which one day we can rest easy knowing our heirs will hit "payday" (that poor word now forever maligned by those crooks who never really worked for a true "payday" in their lives, the ones whom they used to take out back in the Bible and flog for "usury" along with the early issuers of the made out of stone "just say 'charge it'" credit cards) when our advertising account balance actually reaches the allegedly distributable sum of $100. 

       Believe it or not that figure was $10 when Google actually sent one a check when we started this "blogger" thing last Century but we did not make it there to the promised "e-z money" $10 in time after the first couple years before that figure went up tenfold. No doubt by the time we reach the now $100 minimum for distribution "in Google trust" it will have with inflation been put up to $1000 to cover the cost of the stamp and just about then Google after some good decades will no doubt be "reorganizing" anyway and do you not know the lawyers get all the money from that anyway? In any case we thank the Golden circle from keeping that WOT "sociometer" rating hovering in the safe mid-zone rather than the needle taking the final plunge to "no trust", abandon,  "delete address bar and history cache" immediately, "smash computer and throw hard drive in dumpster (in small pieces) sinking in Hackensack 'Meadowlands'".
       Yes we recognize that ALL THIS is but for the small fanatical group to which we duly pay homage as but for this broom-closetful-of inexplicable readers (aww, here come the broom ads) our very own "top inner echelon" of readers at embassies, consulates, stink-tanks, international global conventions on micro-monetary policy for the 23rd Century, Bohemian grove types, informants looking for something to pawn off on their contacts as "original" to get their next taxpayer handout to buy the next fix. And so must be dished up some extra juicy obscure news item reassuring these our most special readers they are in the know like President Bama-Bam Bomb-Bomb Oh Bam-Bama) and  HERE IT COMES RIGHT NOW THE BIG SCOOP:  Extra  favorite super special VERY top-level secret CIA agent Mister, ahem, Zuckerboy (aka the "Zuck") -- okay we have finally "spilt the beans" but please those of our most recent new readers with our complimentary subscriptions yes we mean the last election members of Congress and political appointees who have just now found their offices, do not choke on your Monday afternoon breakfast extra rare prime rib should you be one of those newer readers we will have you up to speed in no time.
        Now here at the Ninth Amendment we of course do not know about OUR faithful readers' every habit since we do not make it ours to read OUR constituents e-mail or "social media" communications on any kind of a regular basis -- nor in fact our own for that matter -- although no doubt whatever diehard enthusiasts this very-grateful Ninth Amendment Log still may have remaining at this point (their every move being fair game given our VERY special relationship with Google wherein "the Goog" as we insiders know it goes to the staggering expense of carrying this blog on the taxpayers backs and so on . . . .)

        Well even our editorial board more or less forgot what this post was about however we did know we wished to reply to the following which presented itself to us when we today made the rare foray onto Facelog, Mugbook, F*ckbook recently suggested by a reader, what have you, to remind ourselves of who it said our friends were -- it really has gotten so good it more or less just manages the whole social thing, faces, friends, social groups, even other body parts now as we saw it even can take care of the whole time-consuming courting and marriage thing for one, too -- we just power it up and type in a few words now and then, check off a couple more of our remaining two or three rights (in the words of The Clash' magnificent "London Calling") and the next thing we know we are all set up for the next segment of our lives, excuse us, "timelines".
       We are sure if somewhere along the way one forgets who was made one's spouse that can be looked up as well, Just have to remember not to exclude them from the major life "activities". In fact did not the Reverend Sun Yung Moon think up this whole deal quite a while back? Apparently long enough back for most everyone to have forgotten the whole ordeal, getting married in Madison Square Garden and all that.  Anyway we always find ourselves wondering what Zuckerboy's timeline looks like -- did they include the CIA training and the dropping out of wherever it was he dropped out (or was that just Gates and Jobs the other salespeople/visionaries of our times, you know seems that it is time some women really got in on this "golden ages" racket, or did we just miss that you know computer shaped like a zucchini. . . .

       All right already here goes, direct from Facelog just a few hours ago, apparently Zuckerboy has his posts done by "Facebook Security", as was this below. (We do not even want to imagine). Seems he was worried about this whole PRISM thing, the switching of the last "M" simply being a matter of changing it to "ON" apparently not being lost on him. Immediate response obviously being the best defense is a good (aww, our readers know how it goes).  So here it is straight from "Facebook Security's" mouth (apparently they do not indent) on Zuckerboy's behalf:

I want to respond personally to the outrageous press reports about PRISM:

Facebook is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers. We have never received a blanket request or court order from any government agency asking for information or metadata in bulk, like the one Verizon reportedly received. And if we did, we would fight it...See More


       After careful consideration we decided not to hit the apparent link there. The thought of Facebook Security speculating on Zuckboy's behalf as to how it/he would take on the "US or any other government" was just too amusing (and time-consuming) for words. After all it might be a rather lop-sided fight as the ole' "Zuck" arguably is perhaps a "little bit out of the loop". Could be he is more a voyeur than the fighter he apparently believes. 
       Finally though we simply cannot help but noting having now so long being at this writing/editing thing while we are not quite sure how Facebook Security keeps busy that right there in sentence one above Zuckerboy maybe might have wanted to have someone in Facebook Writing review the work of Facebook Security. We are confident those readers who have been with us for a while now might spot the apparent weak links (as it were) there too. Probably with a little more careful review someone in the spyforce may have reconsidered the inclusion of the words "direct" in Zuckerboy Facebook Security sentence one and "blanket" in two. As they used to say in third grade English it really does not "seem to add anything" but rather if anything would tend to "weaken the argument". Just a thought.
       Coming up in a post very soon, promise, some fairly deeply researched information about choosing and using an e-mail service we found likely both best and most trustworthy. And of course our favorite word. Free. We believe the research time was well worth it and trust our readers should find the results quite helpful as well.  Until then....

       Thursday, 1 August 2013, HAVANA - Readers your attention and patience please for the evolving prediction of the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment log that this current American century-span, roughly defined as commencing with the storming by the Allied Forces led from the West by the United States military racing into literal collision at Hitler's besieged Berlin Fuhrerbunker with the crush of Stalinist Russian masses from the East, soon eclipsed by the so-called "atomic" bombings of Nagasaki and within days Hiroshima, through the paroxysms of "McCarthyism" here at home from the Atlantic seaboard clear to sunny Hollywood on the Pacific Coast, the overseas global Cold War now known indeed to have brought our planet Earth to the very brink of extinction from a conflagration with the Communists off the shores of Cuba, and all that has since followed right up to the present with the United States heir apparent Superpower now its greatest towers smashed but feverishly rebuilt yet inexorably losing its grip on that mantle (F-35 "weapons system" or not we are afraid) to the undeniable gravitational force of the burgeoning population black hole of the Far East as the mid-East writhes in the seasons of its discontent, only that we now should suffer for some surely unfathomable reason the murmurings of another but this time self-inflicted, what?..... "Tea Party"!
       No mortal knows where this dizzying span will have led us in another quarter-century but the Ninth Amendment here predicts the historians of future eras certainly for no short time will puzzle, ponder, wonder, and no doubt make it their vocation to examine exactly what, went . . . .
       Something in the spy-filled air of late gripping our great Nation not altogether surprisingly compelled our editorial staff this evening past to revisit in a noticeably unpolished Wikepedia piece on the late (we rather took for granted) disgraced Wisconsin United States Senator Joseph McCarthy in some wonderment the similarities to which our country seemed to have so soon again allowed itself to succumb to inchoate fears and have kept our eye so obediently on the ball therefore as to more or less unwittingly let mechanism of the witch-hunt gear up, again. The human tragedies of that 1950's era need not be revisited here, the slim reeds upon which they by most accounts all too often rested, and what we took to be the generally accepted conclusion that when the heat of the moment (and the Senator increasingly undeniably . . . .unwell as in ill) and resultant dust died down indeed a few traitors most likely had been exposed, punished, paid the price for treason. But what of the other sometimes estimated ninety-five per cent or so who most likely just had the misfortune to be named because, well, they had a name, and one seemed needed for the moment, their talents, their livelihood, their family, their life.... be damned?
       Somehow the story when it unraveled really did seem to have become stranger than fiction to use that worn cliche. Senator McCarthy apparent champion of all American and not aberrant quite undeniably himself turning out to be, well, a heroin addict? Maybe not, but no one seemed to do much more than turn away in disgust as it really was beyond denying that he was at least a screaming alcoholic, even in his heydey, with at least a serious morphine addiction perhaps to relieve the effects of the alcohol. Somehow when the time came most apparently was more or less overlooked, or at least very downplayed.
       Downplayed n fact by the very one who first quite publicly revealed it in his early 1960's memoir, that is except for leaving out the Senator's name (as if too many personalities of that era fit the bill). But at this point the historians are all sure to find it rather just getting a little too odd to ignore. The person who of course revealed the Senator's addiction was none other than the Nation's universally acknowledged and still longest tenured drug czar in United States history. Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (successor to the Prohibition era bureau) for an unprecedented and needless to say never repeated period of thirty-two years spanning from 1930 to 1962.
        And then the story becomes really strange. Commissioner Anslinger in fact it turns out had a while before become aware of Senator McCarthy's habits as he had acknowledged, and in the end agreed to make arrangements with a local Washington, D.C. pharmacist that the Senator would receive a steady supply of morphine. Apparently in the end the Commissioner was convinced by Senator McCarthy that should the truth come out it would mean the "end of the Free World" or roughly those words. It was thought better meanwhile to concentrate on blaming the opiate menace on the Communist nations abroad. Remarkably when this information more or less came to light including with the Commissioner's publication of his memoirs, no one really seemed to care that much at all about the matter, McCarthy having sometime ago fallen from grace. Or so it seemed. Meanwhile despite his apparent knowledge of this situation President John F. Kennedy actually appointed the Commissioner's to a further term even in light of the knowledge that he had been allegedly condoning the supply of drugs to McCarthy.
       And there readers we find ourselves more or less come up to the present day. Apparently Senator Joseph McCarthy has had a resurgence as a voice of today's Tea Party movement. The heroin rumor reportedly was never that well disseminated. Apparently if the Senator's heavy drinking at night necessitated the assistance of some other opiate to get through the hearings of the following day, that might even be understood for the sake of the country. Or so went the reasoning. After all it was for a good cause, or so the thinking of some has gone so far as to justify the casualties to others and to the Senator himself along the way.
     Finally as if to come perhaps full circle or full something in any case today there is in the growing movement of Senator McCarthy's resurgence a body of support amongst the Tea Party movement. And somehow, the  new junior Senator from Texas Ted Cruz has come to be associated with it.  The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment wishes to emphasize that there is no connection whatsoever suggested between the personal habits of Senators McCarthy and Cruz, however readers who care to delve into the subject of oddities in the remarkable life of Senator Cruz we believe will be most surprised at coincidences that seem again beyond imagining.
       Senator Ted Cruz is no Rick Perry. He is not brain dead still standing. Professor Allen Dershowitz reportedly has acknowledged that he is absolutely brilliant, no holds barred. He has held positions and for tenures that have been unheard of before for a person of his young age. He graduated Princeton University nearly a decade after some of the editorial staff of this log. Yet oddly his father fought with Castro for the Cuban Revolution, although he apparently had said he "did not know Castro was a Communist". Perhaps most oddly for us, Senator Cruz actually is a scholar of the last two of the Bill of Rights, believing in the same tenets as the editors of this log do as to the simple but compelling logic that the Ninth Amendment (and the Tenth as well) were not written as mere verbiage. The Founding Fathers did not write words in the Constitution for the sake of ornament.
       Please do not be complacent readers, however, there is no doubt that this Senator Ted Cruz is a force to be reckoned with. He has worked with Ed Meese. He has worked with others and for other causes about which many readers will have strong feelings, no doubt. Senator Cruz also clerked for Chief Justice Rehnquist of the United States Supreme Court. As Solicitor General of Texas he successfully argued to keep many, many prisoners on death row whom a World Court already had decided should be taken off of it because of human rights violations in their trial proceedings. Senator Ted Cruz is someone interested parties would be most well advised to watch and work to follow their beliefs in influencing Texas politics. Texans cries out for justice..
       Stranger stories there have been. And we have shared a few oddities here. But the world works in mysterious ways, and that is why we introduced this piece with the observation that the hundred year span we will be ending mid-century can well be expected to hold  a great many mysteries for the historians to try to unravel. A final conundrum we leave readers with here is this. Mr. Cruz was born in Canada. However his mother was a United States Citizen. Apparently on that basis the "consensus" analysis is that Mr. Cruz COULD serve as United States President because his mother's status qualifies him as a "natural born citizen". We have not researched this, but we do not follow. To the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment the words of the Constitution sound unambiguous. We always took it for granted that they meant the United States President actually had to be born on U.S. soil. We just do not want any more coup d'etats around here. The election 2000 debacle proved the enduring wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
        God Bless America and the United States Constitution..

Hacker Barnaby Jack Dead In Mid-30's On Eve Of Expected Major Revelation - "Hacking Humans" Implantable Medical Devices

       Wednesday, 31 July 2013, LAS VEGAS - The Associated Press has reported that the famous "hacker" Barnaby Jack the young man who just tomorrow was to deliver the headline talk "Implantable Medical Devices:  Hacking Humans" at the Black Hat conference in this once-reputed Mob gamblers' mecca cum corporate family amusement town is dead of unknown or unreported causes allegedly in San Francisco.
       According to the AP Mr. Jack gained widespread notoriety after revealing at the same Black Hat conference in 2010 that after some years spent studying methods of hacking automatic teller machines ("ATMs") he had successfully devised two distinct techniques to hack "stand-alone" teller machines and direct them to dump their entire load of cash. The first technique stemmed from his discovery according to the AP that all ATM keys made by one manufacturer came with exactly the same key to unlock a compartment in the ATM. Mr. Jack then reportedly used a USB slot to deliver a program that ordered the ATM to unload its cache of cash.
     The second technique developed by Mr. Jack reportedly took advantage of a flaw in the method by which ATM manufacturers communicate with their cash machines via the internet. Although not explicitly stated in the AP report presumably the result was the same as when the first technique described above was employed. Apparently since the time of Mr. Jack's examination of the weaknesses of ATM's he most recently had been employed by computer security firm IOActive, Inc. Both Mr. Jack's employer and the San Francisco Coroner's office were tight-lipped as to the cause of Mr. Jack's untimely death describing it only as "under investigation".
     At tomorrow's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas in Hacker Barnaby Jack's headline talk "Implantable Medical Devices: Hacking Humans" Mr. Jack presumably was prepared to reveal his more recently developed information including concerning the vulnerabilities of pacemakers and other implantable medical devices to hacking. Sources have said the time when his address was to be given will be left open to allow colleagues to "[C]ommemorate his life and work".

     The fact for the day in other news is that according to preliminary reports we have received from our Central European research bureau is that during WWII the contract for the "management" of Jewish and other prisoners of the Nazis in German concentrations camps which also included the tattooing of identifying numbers on the arms of each was awarded to and performed by International Business Machines (IBM) which would put it in a class with other still thriving companies with a legacy dating to Hitler's Nazi German regime including of course Volkswagen ("people's car") and chemical conglomerate I.G. Farben supplier of its trade name pesticide Zyklon B supplied to the Nazis where its was poured into the vents above faux showers in which millions of Jewish and other concentration camp victims were gassed to death.
