A birthday greeting I made for my buddy and mate, Adam. :)

Only "one" member online... little ol' me. I can remember so well the many times I was the only one online on Elf12, working away, doing stuff for the site. But see where that got me. Being dedicated and devoted to heddate sites could very well get you great rewards of ostracizing, humiliation, character assassination, falsely accused, and a whole bunch of other "goodies". Oh yes, and having all your hard work destroyed besides, while on another site, I was accused that "I" was going to destroy "my" stuff. Now I know why. "I" wasn't supposed to destroy or have any say in regards to "my" stuff, so others could have the enjoyment of stealing it and destroying it, instead. I see! pfffffft

Happy Birthday, Julian Assange!

Posted by my friend, Adam:

Happy 42nd Birthday Julian Assange!

He's still stuck in the Ecuadoran mission in London. Noting the European Union's 2012 winning of the Nobel Peace Prize, Assange said: "Europe must rise to the occasion and show its willingness to defend freedom of information, whatever its fears of political pressure from its 'best friend' the United States."

For those who are interested, I recommend this collection of twelve interviews featuring an eclectic range of guests, who are stamping their mark on the future: politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists and visionaries.

“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.

If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.

If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.

Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.”
― Julian Assange

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIAN
Your courage is contagious!

...And so, as much as others "think" that I should not "defend" against the injustices levied on and against both others AND myself, "THINK" again! I am not a wuss, nor a bystander, nor an "enabler". Anyone who thinks that I should not defend, then you must be an "enabler", because it's either or, with NO in between.

“Fear not to shine your light,
Amidst the darkest places;
For your light may be the hope,
Needed by lost faces!”

"Wherever I gaze
Wherever I voyage
All I see is mine
Bow down to me
you petty minions
or suffer the wrath
of unspoken horrors"

Well, THIS says it all in a nutshell just HOW this person thinks: that everything automatically belongs to them, that everyone is made to be their minion and do as they want. THIS is the problem. This person can't CONTROL me and so, is determined to make my life hell because I won't bow down before them. It will NEVER EVER happen! Those that are willing to? Be minions! But I will NEVER be!

"Karma"

When Karma comes a knockin'
To hand you your fate,
Don't be too surprised
By what's upon your plate.
If you spread love and goodness
Upon your daily bread,
You will receive the same
And so you will be fed.
But if you choose to
Spread hate and bitterness,
Then expect the same,
No need to even guess.

Karma keeps a record
Of all you say and do,
And when the time is right,
It sends it back to you.
If you spread kindness and caring,
Then this is what you'll reap
And if you spread the opposite,
Then do expect to weep.
We do not feel the impact
Of all that we so give
Until it is returned
And it, we're made to live.

“Being silent about something that's being done wrong, makes the silent party an "enabler" to/of/for the perpetrator(s).” ~ Artsieladie #Quotes © 

So, are you an "enabler" or a "dis-abler"? ..And "upstander" or a "bystander"? There's no middle ground.

Great post, Rising Byte! It IS about the "oil" and the "money" and so, the "power". The blood lost on all fronts, of ALL those involved in the fighting, both civilians and soldiers, IS on the hands of "those in power". "Those in power" could CARE LESS about the lives lost and maimed. "Those in power" give the commands, make their demands, but are in actuality, too damn COWARDLY to actually DO and carry out their dirty, filthy, rotten deeds themselves, because they mustn't dirty their own hands nor be held accountable, and so shift the blame on others who aren't given a choice but to follow orders.

I refuse to be classified WITH such blood thirsty, money grubbing, money lusting, power hungry zealots and every opportunity I have, I speak out loudly against them and what they stand for. Unfortunately, the madness is not just isolated to the US, because there are plenty other zealots running the show or trying to obtain the power to, for the same blood thirsty, money lusting, and power hungry reasons and they plan, sleep, and work together AGAINST the PEOPLE, ALL the People OF THE WORLD! They plot and scheme to keep the "People of the World" DIVIDED and THIS is what We, the People of the World, need to UNITE and stand up against! When we allow our differences to "divide us", we then allow those in power to dictate TO us, just how things are supposed to be.

I'm not one who likes pick up lines, smooth talkers, or those who come across as trying to impress me with their "polished" charm. A man who has no compassion and is full of himself, will score a minus 10 with me. I'm more inclined to look beyond the exterior, because the "real" person is on the "inside" not the "outside". ♥

Ever since I sent data/info depicting evidence of my privacy being invaded, directly pointing to ONE person, to a friend (not disclosing here) on 2013-05-14/15 PRIVATELY (or 'supposedly' privately), I have had nothing but issues with my online connectivity along with other bizarre occurrences with my computer. ..And of course, THIS is not the first or only time I've experienced problems AFTER and WHILE providing data about what I'm being subjected to, for there have been MANY, MANY. It's NO coincidence that when I show and tell info/data that points to ONE person "invading my privacy", I am then left with problems to deal with, and ESPECIALLY since this very same "sequence of events" has been repeated MANY times AND DOCUMENTED. The "person of interest" doesn't like it when I relay factual evidence implicating him, but yet, refuses to stop what he's doing to me. Well, he can't "have his cake" AND "eat it too"!

Paying for high speed Internet access is not cheap and then since I only have a limited amount of data usage to work with before I have to pay through the nose some more for more if needed, it gets to be pretty damn annoying when your high speed performs worse than being on with dial-up!!! ...and then add in the fact, too, your data usage is getting gobbled up even though you aren't getting the benefits from the usage, well, it's infuriating!!! Several people on Elftown kept telling me that it was all due to the fact I had AOL. Well, I no longer use AOL nor dial-up, and I have a new and different computer besides, but yet, here I am dealing with issues anyway and over 3000 fucking dollars worth later. I guess it wasn't AOL's fault after all, now, was it?

Oh, and IF I would just leave Elftown, ALL of the crap would stop! THIS IS what I was told! MANY TIMES! Well, I'm NOT on Elftown now either! I tried to tell the crew, past and present, and others that my leaving would NOT make a difference, because I KNEW my privacy invasion and unwanted surveillance was NOT just "limited TO Elftown"! So, what would BE their excuses now? Oh, people thought they KNEW SO DAMN MUCH, knew MORE than I, even though I have EVIDENCE and DATA to back up what I say along with several "qualified" techs' and experts' accountings, but stilllllll, the know-it-alls were/are right and the experts and techs AND my data collected are ALL wrong!? Oh but, "I" am the one conjuring up "conspiracy theories"!!?? How is it that "I" get accused of "conspiracy theories" and "lying", but yet, "I" am the one who has and has shown data and evidence that backs up and substantiates what I say? But... NO ONE sees what's REALLY going on? Pardon me, but are those involved THIS bloody, fucking stupid!!!!?????? More like "selective stupidity".

But... DID ANYONE LISTEN!? HELLLLLLLL NO! Instead, they poked fun, called me names, said I was imagining stuff (including imagining my OWN daughter, Evah Jane!), that I was a drama psychobitch 3, a lunatic, crazy, and I needed mental help! ..And even on the very page where data CLEARLY implicates the site owner with the tampering of my phone. NOT ONE person that knew about and commented on the page would even "address" the data presented. NOT ONE! It was MORE important to attack me, than actually address "the REAL issue". When people DELIBERATELY AVOID addressing an issue, it's because THEY ARE HIDING something, either having to do with themselves or someone else, OR both. (Please note: All the comments AND data are saved from the wiki-page being referred to.)

..And just WHO needs the mental help? A person who seems to have nothing better to do with his time, than snoop and keep track of everything someone else is doing and saying, doesn't have some sort of SERIOUS mental/emotional/behavioural issues? Those who delight in victimizing a victim even more, and so aid and abet the victimizer, don't have some sort of SERIOUS mental/emotional/behavioural issues? Anyone who would "go along with" and "lie for" another person subjugating another, has got to be pretty darn sadistic. ..And the "ring leader" orchestrating the "going along with", is indescribable! ..And when a person has the gall to claim foul against another, saying the other person has been badmouthing them, commencing in 2008, while they knew all along that THEY were badmouthing and plotting to get rid of the that person since at least, the beginning of 2007, just WHO then is REALLY PLAYING FOUL!?? But those who follow and are loyal to the "foul crying" one mustn't know THIS TRUTH!!

Then, the site owner HIDES the page with data IMPLICATING HIM, and still, NO ONE questions why? NO ONE asks him why? (The wiki-page: http://elftown.eu/_Calls_To_Myself ) This is PURE, callous apathy. It's not affecting them, so why the hell should they care, right? It is so much easier and convenient, but cowardly, to "pretend" not to know or know what to do. The fact that a person is being put through a living hell, and having 'their' name slandered all over the Internet and 'their' work stolen from them, makes no difference, right? Do these people even HAVE a conscience?

Anyway so, I've only been online lately sporadically, because I can take only so much aggravation and then I just get offline. ..And I don't want to have to pay extra for data usage when I can't even hardly get webpages, videos, etc., to load to see them and trying to upload anything is another annoying hassle. I've got graphics for the app, but until I stop having issues, they'll have to remain where they are, on my computer. I'm tired of battling this crap. I suggest start demanding some answers from the "person of interest".

..And I'm writing this here "for the record", and I do keep very good records, involving saving data and logging EVERYTHING.

Some quote statuses by Göran Svensson... :)

"Försök att hitta den bästa som finns i en person och berätta för honom att... Alla besitter något som förtjänar att lovordas. Prisar menar förståelse... Lära sig att se storheten i din granne, och ser du även din."

Translated by Bing:
"Try to find the best there is in a person and tell him that ... All possess something that deserves to be praised. Praises mean understanding ... Learn to see the greatness of your neighbor, and you see even your."

"Från det ögonblick som vi beslutar att inte vara rädd, har inget mer makt mot oss."

Translated by Bing:
"From the moment that we decide not to be afraid, have no more power against us."

"Det finns många saker i livet som fångar ögat.
Men endast ett fåtal fånga ditt hjärta. Följ de."

Translated by Bing:
"There are many things in life that catch the eye.
But only a few will capture your heart. Follow."

Hence, quotes of mine, inspired by Göran, especially the second one, because the quote speaks for "his" character in particular:

"Fear will hold us captive, denying us the freedom to attain what we desire in our heart." ~ Artsieladie Quotes ©

"The measure of a man is not in his physical strength, tough exterior, or financial successes,
But in his gentleness of spirit, kindness of heart, and compassionate soul, that he possesses." ~ Artsieladie Quotes ©
