Wimminz – celebrating skank ho's everywhere

During one of those quiet times while drinking coffee and surfing the net, come on with the fallout 4 DLC next week already…lol, I happened to check out my ex employers website, and happened to click on the blog.

Now this is a company that relies/relied 100% on guys like me at the sharp end to actually go out in the field and actually do the fucking work, and the penny pinching and cost cutting and lack of support and lack of any financial or other rewards just got too fucking much…. a few months prior to leaving I was training up a guy in his early 20’s who was given a company car and a staggering UK£14,000 annual salary, this is for the 40 hour basic week and you could easy do 1,000 – 1,500 miles in that week…

OK, the work is not physically hard, or even terribly challenging, but it’s easy to do anything from taking that site down to taking the entire network of 900+ UK retail sites in that chain down (just mistakenly configure the router, swap the site router IP address and the main UK HQ site router address) and by “site” I mean up to and including taking walmart down nationwide for the day.. and sorry, but 14k BEFORE TAX and a car isn’t a fucking living wage in the UK, not unless you live in a cheap hovel, don’t smoke or drink, don’t go out, don’t have cable TV or a landline phone, don’t have any hobbies, and live on rice and lentils, and never turn on the central heating…

But the point stands that the guys on the sharp end got paid peanuts and treated like shit, so it was with some mirth that I read on the blog page that da management had just been on a jolly to San Diego to the Cisco conference / expo, I guess that’s why we workers had to work for fuck all, so management could afford international travel to jollies worldwide.

OF Course management will tell you this is the only way to stay in business and stay competitive… these are the same sorts of cunts talking about Brexits and QE99 and the latest fucking Budget from the UK Guvvmint, like they know what the fuck they are talking about.

VOIP telephony and IP video conferencing and other emerging / converging technologies are of course only good enough for the peons, the management have to attend conferences in Bali face to face with other management types, it’s the only way to do business donchaknow…

At this point, and this is par for the course in IT in the UK, nobody has actually checked that as an ex employee I no longer hold copies of all the corporate data, and to be fair 99% of this, to be useful, you have to be sat physically in front of a Cisco box on site, but if you are you have the keys to that particular kingdom, and as Kevin Mitnick will attest to, should I have a mind to, it would be trivial for me to rock up unannounced, claim that I am there on behalf of BT / Talk talk / Virgin / Serco / et al and just wander in, and I’d get in, no question about it, and there is a bloody good chance it would never get back up the food chain that a guy attended a site where no attendance was booked.

And Cisco talk about, in very muted tones, the vulns in their hardware, again, citing Mitnick, the real vulns are on site, and if you can get physical access, you can get root, even if you do not walk in already knowing root logins and every other possible details of the config.

Insert three letter acronym secret service state within a state security operative here, if I can do it, they can do it, the difference is if they do it nobody is going to come along in a uniform and ask them awkward questions and arrest them.

As mentioned previously, there are indeed mysterious black boxes, and they are indeed black, in the networks hubs of this country that are plugged directly into the backbone and which can copy / intercept / adjust / alter any traffic they choose, up to a limit which I do not honestly know, but which I would guess simply by comparing the sheer number of racks of black boxes compared to the number of racks of Teir 1 kit, is very very high.

And as the latest UK state snooping bill comes around again to legitimise all this, everyone’s panties are in a mangle again, meanwhile ignoring the 9,000 lb gorilla in the room..

Fuckbook alone is more than adequate for tracking 90% of the population down to excruciating detail, and by excruciating details I mean knowing if you missus is preggers before you do, possibly even before she does…

… add in amazon and twatter and so on and you’re up to 95% of the population tracked to this level.

So in short all these black boxes and all these snooper’s charters are utterly pointless, you already have panopticon levels of surveillance and monitoring and profiling of the average guy on the street.

Ergo, it can’t be about the average guy on the street, and it just ain’t worth it for the other 5% of the population like me who you can’t track by inference from monitoring the fuckbook profiles of people with fuckbook, so it’s way too big a sledgehammer for way too small a nut.

The cunts already have backdoor access to all my phone records and all my SMS records, and even if you accept that whatsapp messages are encrypted, the sender and recipient is known my phone number, so there is still lots of data to mine there.

So the ONLY THING LEFT that can be monitored and profiled and recorded and mined is not personal data, which means the only thing left is business and financial data.

There is only one thing governments are truly afraid of now, and that thing is corporations and financial conglomerates, so this shit is not about being able to track who Joe Bloggs is fucking on the side that his wife does not know about, or what Syrians he knows, or when he bought some fertiliser and diesel, or why he hates the local whatever…

… this shit is about being able to dig from the other end, it’s the double secret invite only but you don’t even know you got invited and signed up for life fuckbook for companies and conglomerates and financial institutions.

Need to know for guvvmint includes heads up that walmart is going to close all the stores in Gotham, after they already drove the independents out of business, and Tata going to close the steel plant and car works in Gotham, and sudden disparities in the flows of capital for property / real estate purchases in Gotham, weeks or months before the folks of Gotham know.

Because, Detroit, you can buy a house on a double lot in nice condition with good sitting tenants paying 500 bucks a month rental in Detroit for 5,000 bucks, and it is NOT a good business proposition, because the old owner got grandfathered in low low city tax rates, and as the new owner you get the new tax rates, and the fucking rent won’t cover them, and trust me, the guvvmint of detroit and greater metro regional political areas want to know this shit *before* it filters down to the sad fucks who actually live there, or Gotham, or a town near you, or your town.

Trump, whatever else he is or is not or pretends to be or anything else, is one thing the system absolutely fucking hates, he is the wild card, the Adolf Hitler, the one the “experts” say is a joke who cannot possibly even get 5% of the protest vote, much less upset the apple cart, much less actually fucking win…

Trump represents change, but in the disruption sense, in the predictive models were wrong sense, in the we were not expecting that sense, and that is what these people are truly terrified of, because if they were not expecting it, they cannot plan for it, and make sure that whenever it actually happens, they are sufficiently distanced from it.

You *know* what the future holds if you vote for Hitlery, good or bad does not come into it, it is the knowing and fitting existing models that defines good or bad, not any intrinsic moral question, Kim Jong and North Korea is good, ISIS and jihad is good, Erdogan and Turkey is good, because they all fit into the models of the expected, and when they don’t. you can plug that back into the models.

Niven wrote about it, “Crazy Eddie” where the definition of “sane” is that things have always been thus and nothing can be done about it and nothing should be done about it, because this is the best of all possible scenarios, and only Crazy Eddie thinks there is another way, and Crazy Eddie always always always upsets the apple cart, which is therefore the definition of insanity, hence Crazy Eddie and not just Eddie.

It’s not that a Trump / Crazy Eddie will themselves make anything better, it is that they will destabilise things, and instead of sane and sensible voting for Hitlery and Erdogan and ISIS, you’ll get a whole bunch of other crazy fucks deciding to run for office, on tickets like “kill all the niggers” and “kill all the californians” and “kill all the lesbians and homos and single moms” and “fuck your taxes and your draft and your IRS”

And from that perspective, voting for Hitlary does seem sane, for values of sane that include no surprises here thank you very much, we will just have more of the same year on year boiling the frog, who knows, Darwin may step in and the frog will evolve to like boiling water, it’s the American Way, after all.

The founders of the company *deserve* to go on jollies to San Diego off the backs of the employees, and the employees *deserve* their subsistence wage jobs, after all, they did not found the company…

Shut the fuck up and eat your gruel.

Of course, it is also true that those eating the gruel are sick of the ever smaller gruel content, and every greater proportions of recycled sewer water and solyent green to bulk up the meal, Brawndo, it has electrolytes and everything.

So sooner or later they get so sick of it they decide it’s time for a change, noope, no idea what is behind the curtain, but I no longer care, I’m so sick of this that *any* change is good for me right now.

Again, it is entirely possible, even likely, that the vast majority of those who then get that change regret it, and wish they could go back to extra big ass fries and brawndo and the ‘tarded wife, but by then it is too late, and if Trump ain’t the one to upset the apple cart, he for sure is a harbinger of the one to come who will.

You can get ANYONE, or ANY GROUP of people, to do the most stupid lame ass bound to end in tears thing you like, all you have to do is make them so sick and tired of what they have NOW that ANY change seems like a good idea at the time.

“Here, hold my beer and watch this…”

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!

At this point it doesn’t really matter what Trump really is or is not, what he does or does not stand for, whether he would be the best or worst prezzident of da yewwwnyted states ever, if he is in bed with goldman sachs or not…

All that matters is that he has gone Crazy Eddie, and to the genuine horror of every single part of every single state apparatchik in every “civilised” country, the fucking voters are lapping it up.

Back when obummer was running I warned all the yanks (here in this blog, so you can check on it) to be very very cautious, because if they voted him in all they would be doing is voting in a black Tony Blair, and what a cunt he was, but England being what it is we all saw sanity and sense and replaced him with jolly old Cameroon, old etonian, what what… god forbid that UKIP chappie had been taken seriously.

But no, you voted for obummer, and in many ways (Detroit passim etc) fuck yeah america was big enough to have some fairly extreme problems and some fairy extreme extremes between the have’s and have nots, so the sane and sensible path of replacing obummer with yet another Bush or a reanimated Raegan or another Clinton was just that bit more shaky.

Fuck yeah amerika is also big enough and diverse enough that it is more possible for those in DC to be more out of touch with the guy in Podunk than the inhabitants of Whitehall with respect to the guy in Devizes.

And god does nature ever abhor a vacuum.
