A profile page for me Gloria Poole,R.N., artist, writer , owner of this blog: https://words-that-work-llp.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html.
I noticed this morning that my previous post I put on this entitled why are Fortune 500 companies silent on hack of their customers?, and they hacked my computer and took that post down. So, I had to do about 10 steps to get it back. There are laws that require publicly traded companies to alert thier investors and accounts that they were hacked. There should be laws requiring private companies to do the same. If the internet is to be trusted for commerce, it has to have some integrity, honesty, trustworthiness, but often that is totally lacking. There are some FTC [Federal Trade Commission] laws and some FCC [Federal Communications Commission] laws that apply to the internet. President Trump was good about trying to protect intellectual property of U.S. citizens. Biden not so much. Biden is a socialist if not a communist and an evil man who believes killing of innocent human babies is a so-called "right", when GOD said it is a WRONG! Read Exodus 20:13, KJV, for proof.
Constant, unrelenting harassment of citizen journalists ESPECIALLY those who are university educated and who are advocates for unborn humans; and especially for white women, who don't have bosses or husbands and work for themselves is the internet "norm ". The internet is mysogynist, sexist, and ageist. Google wanted to know my date of birth and I thought about that, and thought to myself: Google knows everything about me. I have had this account for at least 15 years, so for them to ask now sort of raises the question of discrimination doesn't it?
I make a point of documenting when I am hacked, when my sites are taken down by criminals, when my contentis ripped off my computers/tablets/cameras/smartphones by criminal hackers. It is of necessity so my words can be used as testimony by prolife advocates, by law enforcement, by Google, by those who need to get search warrants to seize computers that have 10,000 photos that I photographed and uploaded that were ripped off my Apple computer.
Also, I am posting some of the current news of events that are sequealae of the Capitol [Washington DC] mob on 6th January 2021 but they are personally relevant to me but also to all who publish words, photos, on the web:
Journos: "soft targets?
NEW YORK -- While monitoring online chatter about protests at state capitols in advance of next week's presidential inauguration, the Seattle Times came across a chilling description for journalists: soft targets....
Gas masks and bullet-proof vests are being provided to Star Tribune journalists assigned to cover upcoming rallies, and they will be watched by security hired by the newspaper....
The Associated Press is prepared to cover Capitols in all 50 states, said Brian Carovillano, the organization’s vice president and managing editor.
“We’re not commenting on specific security precautions, other than to say the safety of our journalists is our No. 1 priority," he said. "We’re drawing on the expertise of a lot of people who have a lot of experience covering difficult and sometimes scary situations.”...
In many war zones, journalists make sure they are clearly identified as press so they are not mistaken for enemy combatants. It's a trickier call at demonstrations where some participants consider the press itself the enemy.
.... “It’s the AP’s mission to be there and bear witness when others can’t be there,” Carovillano said. “That’s basically our whole reason for existence.”

Pres Trump to exit White House as President:
"President Donald Trump will leave Washington next Wednesday morning just before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration to begin his post-presidential life in Florida....
"Officials are considering an elaborate send-off event reminiscent of the receptions he's received during state visits abroad, complete with a red carpet, color guard, military band and even a 21-gun salute, according to a person familiar with the planning who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.
Trump will become only the fourth president in history to boycott his successor's inauguration"

"middle-class America is arming up"
I quote: "nearly five million Americans who have purchased their first firearm over the past 12 months, driving what analysts are calling the greatest gun-buying spree in the country’s history..."
“A gun is becoming more mainstream like buying a car.” he says. “Right now, I think people are in panic mode.”

There is so much I want to say to these not-united states, and I just keep on keeping on. Those people who think a socialist baby-killing President is going to unite this country are either brain dead, stupid to begin with, or heathen people without consciences. I think the revolution as the Press labeled it will continue. Does that make me happy? No, but just as the nation was divided on the so-called right to own other humans as slaves, so is the nation divided on the subject of is there a so-called right to kill tiny, defenseless humans in the womb? It is not an issue that is going to be swept under the rug of government. A government that does not protect human BABIES is not a good government. A nation that pays for the premeditated murder of its own citizens with taxpayer dollars is not only a bad government but a government that is doomed to extinction.
I , gloriapoole, Gloria Poole , am a Registered Nurse with a license in Missouri and a creator of art, a photographer, a citizen journo of sorts. I pay attention to events, to attitudes, to news, and I compare those events I see/read about/ am informed of to the prophecies and commandments in the Holy Bible. When the words of humans contradict the words of GOD, I obey GOD to the best of my ability. I am Christian since the age of seven. I posted this today 17 January 2021 at 10:34am from my own "private"apartment in Springfield Missouri with my own equipment.
Update tpday 18 Janu 2021 at 12:54noonish by me Gloria to restore this blog of mine to web:
Quote:"When asked about comments he made on Facebook that there's going to be "blood running out" of the Capitol if there are more demonstrations, and whether he was afraid that more people could die, Griffin responded, "I am more afraid of losing my freedom than I am anything."
At another point, Griffin also says, "We're not going to allow it. There will never be a Biden presidency."
[And the outcome of that remark was: "]
Santa Fe, New Mexico — A New Mexico county official and founder of the group Cowboys for Trump, who vowed to return to Washington after last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol to "plant our flag" on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk, was arrested Sunday by the FBI.
Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin was arrested on charges of illegally entering the U.S. Capitol."

"U.S. Secret Service tightened security in and around the Capitol a week early in preparation, and the city center is essentially on lockdown with streets blocked, high fencing installed and tens of thousands of National Guard and other law enforcement officers stationed around the area."

"The video captures rioters hunting for lawmakers and, finding none, photographing documents as "evidence," said Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. Pape said some people, particularly those giving orders, may have had military, law enforcement or "quasi-paramilitary" training.
He specifically pointed to a man carrying zip ties and wearing military fatigues, later identified as Larry Rendall Brock Jr., a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who appeared to be giving commands to other rioters in the video. Brock Jr. was later arrested and charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to The New Yorker. "....Some people began taking photos of documents, and one man said he was trying to find something that he could "use against these scumbags.....
Later, Angeli can be seen taking photographs in Pence's chair and being confronted by a Capitol Police officer. He leaves a note for Pence that reads "it's only a matter of time, justice is coming" before leading a group in a prayer.

"the riot at the Capitol last Wednesday featured partisans of the long-gone country of South Vietnam, Falun Gong adherents, end-times Christians, neo-Nazis, QAnon believers, a handful of Orthodox Jews, and Daniel Boone impersonators.
The boogaloos weren’t a huge presence in that mob. But according to federal officials, the attack on the Capitol has galvanized them and could inspire boogaloo violence in D.C. and around the country between now and Inauguration Day."...
he boogaloos don’t appear interested in fighting for Donald Trump—they tend to despise him, mostly because they think he panders to the police. But for the past year, boogaloo bois all over the United States have been cheering on the country’s breakdown, waiting for the moment when their nihilistic memes would come to life and the country would devolve into bloody chaos....They’ve already shown up heavily armed (and in their signature Hawaiian shirts) at protests and at state capitols. They’ve allegedly killed law-enforcement officers, talked about throwing Molotov cocktails at cops during the racial-justice protests this summer, and plotted to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. They say they want a total reset of society, even if they haven’t thought very hard about what, exactly, should come next.
Who are the boogaloo bois? And why do they want to start a civil war? ...
Let’s start with what boogaloo isn’t. It isn’t, mainly, a white-supremacist organization, though there are some white-supremacist boogaloo bois. It isn’t a collection of Trump supporters ready to fight for the president, like, say, the Proud Boys. And despite the various attacks—planned or carried out—against police officers and government officials, boogaloo also isn’t a militia in any traditional sense of the word....it's more like... internet culture propagated by libertarian-leaning gun enthusiasts on 4chan—the anonymous, Wild West version of Reddit—that has somehow moved into the real world. It’s jargon and memes and jokes and a sometimes-serious desire to bring about a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government....The term boogaloo, for example, can refer to the purveyors of this culture or to an event: a violent revolution some of them hope to hasten, dubbed Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo....
In April, Swenson posted on Facebook—reportedly using the name “Arnold Derpingston”—that he felt “like hunting the hunters.” Translation: looking for police officers to kill. According to authorities, he then live-streamed himself driving around for about an hour with two pistols, a shotgun, and a bulletproof vest. ...They equate Black Lives Matter with Marxism,.."

Is "Popular chat service Discord" [quote per WSJ] the new "social media?:
"On Discord, anyone can create a private chat room—a “server,” in Discord parlance—and invite friends in to talk live via video, audio or text and to share pictures and videos. This made Discord a content free-for-all that many parents have been leery of allowing their children to access"

Microsoft Teams records every activity & scoops ur user info:
"From what I could see, Teams hoovers up all your chats, voicemails, shared meetings, files, transcriptions, your profile details including your email address and phone number, and a detailed analysis of what you were wearing on the call. (I may have made up that last one.)"...
Microsoft offered a little more about the Teams Activity Report (since updated). Here's a sentence that's unsurprising but still a touch uncomfortable: "The table gives you a breakdown of usage by user." Everything from how many meetings that user organized to how many urgent messages they sent is recorded. Separate numbers are given for scheduled meetings and those that were ad hoc. Even individuals' screen-share time is there....Microsoft is measuring privacy settings, device types, time stamps, reasons why someone may have been blocked, and "the number of messages a user posted in a private chat." {My comment: in reading the article here is partial list of what info MSN Teams sends to your boss: ur username, channel messages, replies,posts, chat messages, urgent messages, total meetings u attended; mettings scheduled, meetings ad hoc; meetings participated in, meetings ad hoc participated in; ]

& more on boss surveillance in the name of covid prevention:
"Then there's the potential differentiation of employees by age and relative health. One can understand the logic, just as one fears the implicit discrimination. Moreover, intimate details of one's personal health and well-being -- including mental, perhaps -- will suddenly become the business of your employer...."And we all surely know that once such systems are installed, they have a habit of never actually disappearing. Because too many companies these days enjoy not merely employing human beings, but controlling them. (I am not specifically referring to Amazon.)"

In an epidemiological update provided to the WHO’s exective board meeting, he added that the Americas region accounted for about 47 percent of current deaths."
