So What Is Going On With Our Hosting Company?

Perhaps you remember THIS post…..

Please Pray For Our Hosting Company

As we have been repeatedly warned – even by the VERY ENEMIES who are attacking us (i.e., KlauSS “Hog-Jowls” SSchwab and the WEFFEN SS), there was going to be a “cyber war” this summer – obviously timed to deal with the “fall” of the FAKE ELECTION and the CHINA VIRUS. Thus, between the CHINAZIS and …

It’s instructive to go back and look at it.

What you will see is an historical record of the increasing attacks on both this site and (by extension) our hosting company, who I always refer to as COUGHCOUGH.com, just to keep the attack surface a bit smaller, every time I don’t post their name.

Even if you know who it is.

Now, however, I would like to talk about our hosts a bit more, still not quite saying their name out loud.

Please continue to pray for them. They are in a tough spot. As will become VERY clear.

Since we began having serious problems on the site, I learned much more about how exactly we are being hosted. Even though we have upgraded our plan, we are still not hosted as “nicely” as I would like. I may spring for an even nicer plan.

Without going into the exact reasons, it is literally impossible for our server to be secure against intrusion by both American and “other” spy agencies and militaries. Thus, as soon as I became aware of the facts of our hosting, I realized that this site is simply not secure against state-level hacking and control.

That would include both the good guys and the bad guys.

Just as an ASIDE, when we were on WordPressDotCom, the “good guys” (or whoever was behind Q) actually “proved” to me that they were “in control” of our site in some fashion.

In fact, they actually did this SEVERAL TIMES. Here is what I posted after one of them.

While I am under no obligation to keep their “methods” secret in that regard, I choose to do so, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. They seemed to be watching everything we were doing at the time.

Back to the present.

We not only have to contend with hackers trying to come into our server from the outside – we have to contend with insiders in the back room at the server location.

At the time of my previous CALL TO PRAYER for our hosting company, that company began to notify customers that they had a “security problem” – which we all knew meant they had been hacked. The question was HOW BADLY.

During the last few weeks, I was notified that an email address was compromised. I don’t particularly care about that, because in the same way that people who have discovered the Kingdom of Heaven are excited about “things going there” (meaning they are not afraid of dying, and are “living for the Lord”), I’ve always lived with the “excitement” of my identity being revealed as one thrilling possible future. The deal there, is that this is a lot easier for me, than it is for thousands of other people, most of whom are on the other side.

What I’ve done, throughout my life on social media, is to tell all kinds of shock-and-awe stories – every one of them horribly true, down to the finest details – without giving enough details to make it obvious who I am, or who I was talking about. A lot of people in government obviously knew, but quite frankly, BOTH sides were well-served by keeping my identity concealed. The good guys learned a lot from my tales, the bad guys learned where they had been exposed, but since WE THE PEOPLE learned the most, the whole shebang evolved relentlessly toward what might be called “The Great Awakening”.

Sometimes, I tell people that I “mined” my social media with truth about the other side. I made my own secret identity something like a pin in a grenade. Pull it out, and bad things happen. Leave it in, and everybody muddles along, so both sides live to fight the next day.

The thing is, we are NOW getting to the point where the crimes of the other side which have been exposed by everybody else, are really approaching the size of MY OWN NUKES. There are all kinds of interesting futures now. I think there is more chance the other side will make more mistakes.

My feeling? Best to let GOD decide how this works out.

So – I’m not too concerned about what happens with me, but I AM concerned for our wonderful hosting company.

What happened to them is INTERESTING, and thanks to T3, I dug into it and found out that – TA DA!!! – I was right about state-level actors “in the back room” at our hosting company.

I am just going to give you a bunch of links, and then discuss this again without naming our hosting company.

2021 Epik data breach

Most of this is just a kind of “fear porn” led by the left, including phonies like Ali Alexander, who are used to model fear reactions to good, honest, decent people. It’s all very “Alinsky”.

Just like the January Sixth bullshit, in the long run, this will be bad for the left and the derp state, and I will explain why in a bit.

One of the BEST parts, however, was the THIRD item revealed by the Daily Dot.

Epik hack reveals prominent, Trump-supporting websites under subpoena investigation

Now, I have not dug into this (as in finding and sifting through the data) to verify that we’re on the list of sites with subpoenas, but we certainly should be. The fact is, I am one of the few people I know for CERTAIN has subpoena-worthy stuff on a COUGHCOUGH.com-hosted site, including evidence of people with prior knowledge of the January Sixth “Buffalo Jump”. These are presumably people with FBI, CIA, Pentagon, or other government connections.

It was only a matter of time before BOTH sides would want to get as much information as they could, about what I knew. See, for example what I reported HERE…..

Strengthening The Fortress

The Prelude: CUE THE MUSIC! The First Message: To all who may be locked out at this time PLEASE go to THE U TREE and post a comment – EVEN if it goes into moderation. I will get you out of moderation, and we will get you into here. This strategy has worked for everybody …

Thus, it’s very likely that SOMEBODY wants to know WHO has been monitoring our site, because it was only a matter of WEEKS after I revealed our knowledge of people having foreknowledge of the Buffalo Jump in November of 2020, that somebody made efforts to get people “in deep” where that data was. I was very impressed – those were very likely either “Team 1” or “Team 2” people who found it and got in there. It could have been NSA or CIA. It could have been Anonymous. But THAT was “back then” – long before the “main hack in question”.

Now, there are also the Gilead and Pfizer angles. We have been HARSH on both the mRNA vaccines AND remdesivir on this site.

Is The Abortion Vaccine Right For You?

“When the people have any power to object to a socialist solution, a deniable 5% fait accompli is always more desirable to socialists than a negotiated 50% solution, because they can always negotiate on the remaining 95%.” -Wolf Moon When I first heard about a case of a miscarriage by a pregnant doctor, due to …

These companies have a lot of money, and they have friends like China and Israel, to say nothing of China Joe Biden. These companies – or China – or Israel – could also be behind the Anonymous hack.

Yes, sadly, Israel has made a horrible mistake, IMO, to get in bed with crooks and con men, but that’s pretty much the state of things. When this site stands up for ISRAELIS being KILLED by the foolish jab, shame upon those who would try to stop us.

I would normally NEVER put Israel on the list of “usual suspects”, but at this point, you never know. They’ve gone total “vaczi”. Not as bad as the Aussies or the Euros, but BAD. The only reason we have not seen more brutality in Israel is the compliance, and the bad internal optics of beating the shit out of religious Jews.

It’s one thing to have Nazi health policies. It’s quite another to beat down Jews in Nazi style.

They have the same leftist, socialist, rogue IC, 4th branch, deep state problems that WE have.

Now – let’s talk about “Anonymous”.

Anonymous is the Oathkeepers of cyber.

Anonymous is CONTROLLED by the FBI.

I want you to understand that. “Anonymous” is NOT an independent hacker group. It was taken over by the FBI long ago, and now they “white knight” for the “black hat deep state”. Or maybe they “black knight”. Whatever. They are BUTT-BOYS of FBI.

It is VERY much like the Oathkeepers situation – a pied piper group – only more secret, so that FIB has more flexibility in how it uses Anonymous.

This is how the Biden administration attacked the right, after they got us all on Epik.

Yup. This is FIB creating plausible deniability for themselves to feed our information to THEIR left-wing attack dogs.

My advice?

Don’t be afraid. Be PISSED.

Things are going to get very interesting here.

LET THERE BE INTERESTING TIMES.

They will be MORE interesting for the other side. And in the long run, the Biden administration HACKING its enemies on Epik needs to be punished in the MINDS OF AMERICANS with disgust, righteous anger, and disrespect.

Fuck these assholes. We BLAME them, and we BLAME THEM until everybody thinks they’re SCUM.

Apple Commits to the Iceberg – Abandon Ship!

The REEEEE you are about to hear are Apple employees being cut loose when WOKE goes BROKE.

TL;DR – Apple is definitely full steam ahead on “client side user photo analysis and reporting”, and has issued an evasive, sneakily worded denial of concerns about expansions of surveillance, as it rushes the new software into place.

You will recall my prior post on this:

Why I Am Dumping Apple and Warning Everybody To Leave NOW

Thanks to Cthulhu, we were warned EARLY about Apple’s surveillance plans. Sounds very innocent, right? I will explain exactly why this is not. This is INCIPIENT POLITICAL SPYING AND PRETEXT FOR ARREST. “But it’s for the CHILDREN!” You remember the last people on the left who used that line to “save children”? THEY’RE BACK. Apple …

It’s a very good thing I didn’t wait to start checking off “DONE” items on my “GTFO” action list, because Apple just confirmed my suspicions that they are NOT backing down, and moreover that there is trouble ahead.

LINK: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/09/apple-will-reject-demands-to-use-csam-system-for-surveillance-.html

Reading carefully as only a BURNED CHUMP can, it is very clear that Apple is saying WITHOUT SAYING IN PLAIN WORDS that they won’t concede to government surveillance demands that they themselves OPPOSE.

ANALOGY: “We’re just friends [but if he asks me to run off, I will do it in a heartbeat].”

Apple is not speaking from the heart here, and TRUST is GONE.

You know what I’m saying? There are any number of WORDFARE WAYS for Apple to renege on not allowing surveillance here, after they have designed, implemented, and put into place the KNOWING MECHANISM for such reneging on privacy.

I think everybody who is not satisfied with Apple’s message here is seeing the exact same thing that I am seeing.

Apple IS reserving the right to not just allow but implement government and contractor surveillance with which it agrees.

Do I HAVE to repeat the picture?

Let’s do it anyway.

Nah. I’m no longer a chump.

Tim Cook is part of the ELECTION CARTEL. These are the “Friends of Freedom”, “Friends of Privacy”, and “Friends of the Constitution” who were SILENT.

Martin Luther King Junior was SO RIGHT.

Why I Am Dumping Apple and Warning Everybody To Leave NOW

Thanks to Cthulhu, we were warned EARLY about Apple’s surveillance plans.

Sounds very innocent, right? I will explain exactly why this is not. This is INCIPIENT POLITICAL SPYING AND PRETEXT FOR ARREST.

“But it’s for the CHILDREN!”

You remember the last people on the left who used that line to “save children”?

THEY’RE BACK.

Apple can no longer be trusted, and they are accelerating their deployment of surveillance technology to serve the LEFT at a breakneck pace. Even by my Suspicious Cat standards, it is an ALARMING speed.

In my opinion their spying software is already a DONE DEAL and it’s READY TO DEPLOY.

They have very likely been alpha testing it on people already.

I just got an email from Apple, inviting me to help beta test iOS 15.

You want to know what I think of that?

NO. F***ING. WAY.

But it gets worse. It’s not just the fact that it’s ready, and they will not be talked out of it.

It’s not just WHY they’re doing it, which is why they will not be talked out of it.

It’s that they are lying about everything. And I will explain.

My advice to everybody……

GTFO!!!

Apple is NOT the Same Old Apple

Apple today is not the Apple of Steve Jobs. This should be fairly obvious to everybody. I think Jobs had some kind of understanding of why Apple needed to avoid being equated with leftism.

The problem is that the true keys to the empire all really belonged to Steve Jobs. When he handed the company over to a man who would ultimately betray half of Apple’s customers, Apple was done. The only question was how long Apple would take to fully betray ALL of its customers, and for those customers to REALIZE IT.

Now would be a good time to join those who can see the betrayal.

I never trusted Tim Cook when he said that Apple was dedicated to privacy. There was a part of me that wanted to believe that line, but I can say now with no reservation, that part is a CHUMP. I slap that part and say WAKE THE F*** UP.

Tim Cook is a political animal. And his political friends are not nice people. Not if you are US.

Buzzfeed: Apple CEO Tim Cook To Host Hillary Clinton Fundraiser

Cult of Mac: Tim Cook to host fundraiser for Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton always wanted “gatekeepers” on information. She just needed the right CHUMP to bring over to her viewpoint.

Tim Cook defends controversial focus on social issues, says Apple sticks to ‘policy not politics’

So how did Hillary World convince Tim Cook to abandon what principles he might have had?

Theory: It’s All About January Sixth

Influencing the influencers is old hat.

Influencing the people who HOST the influencers is where it’s at.

So influencing Tim Cook to break his pledge on privacy MATTERED. It was USEFUL – incredibly useful.

One of the real advantages of Nancy Pelosi’s little SCAM on January Sixth was the shock value for Democrats.

Part of what shocked Democrats was the fact that – yeah, in their heart of hearts they know – Biden didn’t win.

They were, however, OK with that bogus victory, as long as it didn’t lead to problems for them.

If Trump supporters would have had a nice, peaceful, but very loud rally at the Capitol, the Dems would have lost a HUGE portion of mindshare on the stolen election. Many more Democrats would have thought – deep down – “Yeah. No way Biden won.”

The Dems couldn’t have that. So they faked attacks inside, provoked the crowd outside, and their plants began breaking windows and doors to bring in the CHUMPS.

One of the best results for Mafia Nan and Chris Wray was this. It SCARED the Democrats and RINOs.

I personally think that Tim Cook was brought to a state where he literally FEARED an actual “insurrection”. That fear was useful, and all Cook’s half-hearted lip service to “privacy” just DIED.

Now – I do know that Apple iPhones and Apple iCloud were used by Dodge and FIB to go after “insurrectionists” in the days after January Sixth. That happened very quickly and without the slightest pushback from Apple.

I knew at that point that Apple could not be trusted. And so I just waited for confirmation that Apple has completely gone over to the dark side.

Well, we have that now.

Apple’s Alibi

On August 5, Ars Technica (or Arse Technocratica, as I like to call them) produced some only mildly critical reporting on Apple’s move.

That link is worth reading, if you plan to read nothing else.

LINK: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/apple-explains-how-iphones-will-scan-photos-for-child-sexual-abuse-images/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/g0SN2

Now – without getting into the details of it (they’re very technical), the discussion is basically about HOW Apple plans to check for “certain pictures” on people’s phones. Apple gives a very skeletal but seemingly exact and assuring description of their process, and basically says “don’t worry about it – nobody at Apple will be looking at your photos – they’re still private.”

I can only begin to tell you how much of a lie this is.

First of all, you are assuming that Apple is telling you the truth. It’s very HARD to throw what they say out completely, and not believe them AT ALL, and be fully skeptical, and make them “prove their way” back into trust, but that is really what you need to do.

So I want you to TRY – even though it’s difficult – to just say…..

“HMMM – MAYBE APPLE IS LYING ABOUT SOMETHING HERE.”

See? Much easier. Just open yourself to the possibility that Apple – wonderful Apple – might just be pushing a WEE FIB on us.

Now – before I get into MY criticisms, I’m going to present a few other people who have been critical, just so that you understand – this is not just Wolf – this is a LOT of people.

Here is an “Apple world follower” article in iPhone Hacks. This one really shows all aspects of the “it’s for the CHILDREN” psychological operation.

Apple’s Plan to Scan iCloud Photos Met with Backlash; Internal Memo Promises to Address Concerns

LINK: https://www.iphonehacks.com/2021/08/apple-plan-scan-icloud-backlash-internal-memo-addresses-concerns.html

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/obsQA

It’s not every day that Tim Cook goes Bill Clinton “for the CHILLDRUN” and you get comments like this:

And given that Twitter is so bad now, let’s save that Tweet as an image.

What Snowden is saying is EXACTLY what I thought when I read the Ars Technica article. Snowden knows capabilities from the inside. I know them from the outside. He is exactly right, IMO.

The criticisms of EFF.org (Electronic Frontier Foundation), one of the biggest and most important privacy advocates, are mentioned in this same article, but they are better seen on the EFF website.

LINK: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/apples-plan-think-different-about-encryption-opens-backdoor-your-private-life

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/2nRbe

Now, I don’t particularly like this explanation by EFF, because MY ANALYSIS, knowing how Democrat lies work, shows that the situation is far, far worse than just some “back door” into your phone.

This is ROUTINE SURVEILLANCE BUILT IN.

EFF, mostly the good liberal sheep that they are, don’t understand that the situation is FAR WORSE than what they think is there. They are essentially being LULL BOTS in this context.

They’re “friends of Democrats” wringing their hands and going “I’m not so sure about this”.

They have NO IDEA how much worse things really are. And I’ll explain that shortly.

Let’s move on now, to 9 to 5 Mac, which shills hard FOR the new Apple “features”.

In internal memo, Apple addresses concerns around new Photo scanning features, doubles down on the need to protect children

LINK: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-internal-memo-icloud-photo-scanning-concerns/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/qwLZi

Read this article and you will see – there is NO talking Apple out of this suicidal move.

China has effectively KILLED Apple, and the people at Apple have NO CLUE.

BECAUSE CHILDREN!!!

It’s nuts. Absolutely nuts.

Moving on again, let’s look at ComputerWorld. This is about as mainstream as you can get, and these folks are basically taking Snowden’s position.

LINK: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3628454/apples-plan-to-scan-us-iphones-raises-privacy-red-flags.html

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/wynH7

Normally, one would not think there might be a need to archive any article in ComputerWorld, but quite bluntly, we live in extraordinary times.

Removal of speech by either AUTHOR or AUTHORITIES is a SECOND WORLD PROBLEM, and that is exactly where we are going.

But check out that statement. It’s the BOTTOM LINE.

“Once you scan for one thing, you can scan for anything.”

I find it HIGHLY IRONIC that the other side LEVERAGED their own child trafficking against us here, but yeah. They did.

THAT is Democrat evil.

They even nailed a substantial fraction of the Q army this way, because – and I’m being blunt but kind – too many were in it ONLY because of the fight against pedophiles. Many (not all, but many) of those folks are SO single-minded, they are quite ready to throw away the Constitution if they hear the right buzzwords like “FOR THE CHILDREN”.

Yeah, think about it. You will NOT hear a peep out of many of the “BUT IT’S CHILDREN” crowd.

Now – let’s get down to a very meaty criticism of what Apple is doing.

This is VERY analogous to Kary Mullis warning about the ABUSE of PCR testing.

What if what Apple is doing GIVES WAY MORE FALSE POSITIVES THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING?

YEAH. It’s THAT BAD.

LINK: https://rentafounder.com/the-problem-with-perceptual-hashes/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/VwKMo

Yes – read that article, because THAT is where we realize that this is just one more INTENTIONAL BOTCH like the PCR tests.

You starting to see how dangerous this is?

It gets worse.

The thing that shocks me most can be described by creating an analogy.

Watch closely.

“We, the FBI, needs to catch terrorists and drug cartels laundering money. We also need to catch financial criminals. But unlike Wall Street professionals, we’re not experts in these financial matters. Likewise, we need to catch cybercriminals, and we’re good, but we’re not the best. Not like people who do this for a living.”

“Therefore, we would like to let two contractors be the ones who upload the data that we’ll be looking for. It’s very harmless – the FBI will not be involved in looking at people’s financial data or their cyber behavior. Instead, we will use hashes – encrypted numerical data for the suspect transactions and internet packets – supplied directly from our two respected expert contractors, Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike.”

Do you see it now?

It is PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY for Apple, and ACCESS FOR CONTRACTORS.

The first contractors will be unknown (to us) experts in going after child pornography.

ONLY if they find something that is approved by Wokesters at Apple, will the FBI be called in.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-ambush-florida-suspect-david-lee-huber-child-porn-case

I’m gonna be blunt. I don’t TRUST the FBI that this guy was really a child pornography suspect. What if they “trumped up” a charge against him?

I mean, they did it to a sitting President of the United States. Why not some average patriot?

And those contractors could be anybody. What’s to prevent them from harassing – from SWATTING – a guy like Andrew Torba, who they HATE?

And what if they expand this stuff to HATE SPEECH and HATE MEMES?

Who would the contractors be?

ADL?

SPLC?

Who’s next?

Next, it could be BLM.

Next, it could be those “Antifa profs”.

Next, it could be those “QAnon experts”.

No, my friends. This all goes to a VERY bad place.

AND IT GETS WORSE.

I have reasons to believe that Apple is actually LYING about the technology they want to put on our phones.

I think that the lies go beyond things like HIDING the “GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT” (GIGO) risks of using third-party contractors who were in NO WAY approved by us or responsible to us.

BECAUSE APPLE IS INDEED HIDING THOSE RISKS.

According to the author above, Apple lied about the success of their algorithms.

Hell – I think they’re lying about the algorithms, too. I think they’re misleading us as to how the process actually works. I think they’re making VERY nondeterministic stuff sound very deterministic, and it’s not.

The following mistake is illustrative of BAD ROBOT MATCHES.

This is ROBOTS, on our phones, SPYING ON US. BADLY.

Robots that will be pretty much “EUA quality” – experimenting ON US.

Sound familiar?

No. Just NO.

Here’s my bottom line.

I am getting rid of Apple completely. It’s GONE. Scrubbed. History.

The ONLY way I’m keeping my Apple devices is if Tim Cook retires or is FIRED.

That’s it. He cannot be trusted. He has WRECKED Apple.

And they’re not smart enough to fire that guy, so BYE-BYE, APPLE.

See you in the history books.
