Drama Triangle

Head's sore but I can't unwind, so I thought I'd mess around here. Been putting together a massively long, rambling post about Panama ... but I can't concentrate to edit at the moment. Not sure it's even worth posting. Another one of those posts about nothing, really. Sure, there's information. But it's just a bit of random information I found interesting. Been thinking there may be a giant 'victimhood industry' that's evolved out there, comprised of and perpetuated by several interacting sectors within any given community: eg. government/legislators, legal industry stakeholders, interest groups, activists, political parties, academia, and media, as well as the more directly involved coalface workforce and above. Shrilly pathologising  (or piously preaching about) all trivia under the sun has somehow become the 'norm' in society, because everything is filtered through a skewed lens of hyper-vigilance for 'offence',  oppression, suffering, injustice, 'privilege' and so forth, that 'must' be challenged, corrected, redressed, outlawed, legislated against, attacked, blamed, shamed, silenced -- especially silenced -- until the world is one homogeneous, perfectly healed, beautifully evolved, loving, hand-holding, whole; a Great Mother, upon which no alternate reality shall intrude. What is desired, on a social scale, is an impossible return to the safety of the womb or a symbiotic mother-child state of bliss. Meanwhile, martyr-victims have become hosts to their hero-saviours and, perversely, also have become the victims of any number of hidden agendas, both personal and political. Where is the rational principle among all of this pathologising of life?  Where is the resistance to loss of individuality, enforced conformity, loss of freedom and the removal of responsibility for oneself? What I see is ugly.  People who claim moral superiority are also people who think nothing of vilifying and destroying others, like a bunch of bible-bashing hick town rednecks with a hard-on for an execution. It's how I think and feel at this very moment in time, sketched out in rough.  ------------------------------------ Aaaaaand, moving on: This is such a well constructed song:  A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Can't find the version I'm looking for. Blogger search in YouTube option is lame.

Article: 'How UK Liberals Helped Police Hack the Press'

UK >>> How UK Liberals Helped Police Hack the Press Tabloid-bashing crusaders enabled the state to treat journalists like jihadists. Now these same public figures are apparently up in arms about the Met’s use of RIPA secretly to hack into journalists’ phone records, protesting that these are the methods of a police state. If so, it is a police state that was armed and invited to curtail press freedom by our illiberal liberals. Source - SPIKEDONLINE - here COMMENT While I'm still on, thought I'd post a link to this exciting article.  Why exciting?  Because it affirms my view of all those unscrupulous 'victimhood' exploiters in the UK trying to shut down the free press.

What's UK press smokin' ? Didn't read article.  Sure smacks of Dave Cameron's Samantha advising him to put more women on the front bench political 'feminism'.  Or it could just be The Independent taking the piss out of Balls.  Yeeew.  That doesn't sound right. Obama | UN General Assembly >> still dragging women into it. Getting a bit tired, these politicians using the we're-feminist schtick. >> TWICE ... >>used women TWICE! >>dragged Eleanor Roosevelt into it, too!! [ie UN speech] COMMENT   One person's 'impassioned plea' is another person's manufactured propaganda. Go figure. The above is my take on causes, politicians and UN (and other) celebrities 'campaigning' for women, feminism, equality, awareness and so on. F*ck off with your preaching. We're not morons.  We're aware.  We're not the lesser sex.  We don't need 'special' consideration. And we certainly don't need 'the establishment': (be it in the guise of prime ministers, presidents, actresses or advocates of causes) defining us, manipulating our minds, our self-image or our social relationships, while exploiting our gender, our bodies and our perpetual 'victimhood' for hidden gains. Obama talking freedom, human rights, legacy, women's rights and reminiscing about Eleanor Roosevelt is preposterous.

“More German tensions: Among the “autonomous systems” Treasure Map penetrated in order to create this global map, according to Snowden documents, is Deutsche Telekom, which is partly owned by the German government, and Netcologne, a regional German telecom. That’s sure to cause even more friction between the U.S. and Germany, which expelled the CIA’s Berlin station chief in July over NSA spying revelations, including that the spy agency allegedly tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone. Deutsche Telekom told Der Spiegel it conducted an extensive investigation after the magazine alerted it about the possible infiltration but found no suspicious hardware or data leaving its networks.”

"Netanyahu said the majority of attacks stem from Iran, including cyberattacks that are ostensibly from Iran-allied groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas."

"“Iran and its proxies take advantage of the security and anonymity of cyber space” to attack Israel and other countries, he said."

This some of the information I looked at today.  

As usual, it's easier to just copy over where I've been than it is to try to recall.

Ran off a copy of the massive Stuxnet article because I find it impossible to focus on something long and involved, staring at a screen.  Find it better to have a hard copy for mark-up and ease of reading.

At the end of my day of checking things out, I'm wondering why I've bothered running off the involved Stuxnet hacking article when I'm not a techie and really don't need to know anything in depth.

On the other hand, it's supposed to be some techie (or surveillance) big deal, so I might have to force myself to get through the information -- even if it's just skimming over it.
