"Putting on the Game Face"
My Blog Sig

This blog is a doorway into the mind of Percy Goodfellow. Don't be shocked at the lost boys of Namby-Pamby Land and the women they cavort with. Watch as his caricatures blunder about the space between audacious hope and the wake-up calls of tomorrow. Behold their scrawl on the CRT, like graffitti on a subway wall. Examine it through your own lens...Step up my friends, and separate the pepper from the rat poop. Welcome to my abode...the armpit of yesterday, the blinking of an eye and a plank to the edge of Eternity.

Note: This blog is my journal. I've no interest in persuading anyone to adopt my views. What I write is whatever happens to interest me when I start pounding the keys.

I find it hard to believe that sensitive research facilities are getting hacked. There is a simple way to prevent this from happening. In a nutshell it involves a facility with an upstairs operating space and a basement with the SECURE server. The basement is not hooked to the internet.

Each day a worker takes an elevator to the basement and picks up a working (floppy) disc of the compartmented project he is working on. The disc has only that information needed for the day's work. The upstairs computer can (if necessary) be connected to the internet with all the attendant state of the art security software that is available. Then again it may not, the point being that the working disc is separated from the source data base in the basement. At the end of the workday the disc is returned to the basement. There is no storage of the data allowed upstairs overnight.

In the basement is the secure server which has no connectivity to the internet. This server takes the work done upstairs and updates the mainframe. The floppy that can be taken upstairs, has a limited capacity for data. A supervisor at the basement level oversees the limited information the worker can take upstairs. The worker can only access source data related to their project and only in a quantity needed for daily tasks.

What this does is very simple. A hacker has no access to the unconnected data stored in the basement. Neither do they have access to the working data on the first floor because there is no data storage allowed at the upper level. Thus a hacker would have to break through the fire wall of the upper level, as the work was taking place, or find nothing on the drives to hack into assuming that they were successful at penetrating the first line of defense.

Information to update the basement servers with other regional and national servers across the country would be provided by a human courier service with a route that insured daily updates. One could probably get away with UPS, FEDEX or the US Postal Service for the deliveries. The information on the update parcels would have little meaning in their limited context.

If the Government is serious about security, this type of design renders hacking impossible.

Today FOX News had a blurb on Extraterrestrials (ETs). They went on at great length showing that contrary to what we are being told the Military is still very involved in ETs particularly the Navy. Keep in mind that the Navy has been a leader in the quest and was effectively shunted aside with the creation of the Space Force. That decision must have galled them to the core. Clearly it dashed their hopes that they become the Service to head up the effort. Instead it was the Air Force (AF). Why do you suppose the AF got the gold ring on the cosmic merry-go-round?

The answer is that the AF acquired most of the early artifacts and succeeded, in a remedial sort of way, at transferring some of the technology into useable products. However, the real strength of the AF had less to do with what they did in back engineering the alien technology and more with their expertise in Operational Security. The Navy finished a close second but there was no prize for first runner up. I can only imagine how fierce the infighting must have been.

The Navy would have been a better choice because they are already a Service with ships, an army (Marines) and an Air Force. In addition they have submarines which are as close to space craft as it gets. Add to this the SEALs which is the premier special operating force. Finally their expertise in electronic warfare was truly visionary. The problem they've experienced in recent years is the damage they have done to blowing the greatest coverup in history. The first major revelation was the Admiral Wilson notes. The second took place when the Nimitz Carrier Group discovered the "Tic-Tacs" off the East Coast of California.

In a nutshell the Admiral Wilson notes showed that Dr. Stephen Greer was correct! There were private aerospace agencies operating without legal oversight. While a Deputy operating on the Joint Chief's of Staff Wilson tried to contact one of these agencies and his attempt revealed two things. The first was that he would not be "Read In" because he did not have a "Need to Know." This showed that there were "Deep State" entities operating outside the Oversight Loop. Money was being appropriated for projects that were so black that only those with the "Secret Handshake" knew they even existed. The second revelation was that these private agencies were involved in the back engineering of ET hardware and worse still, that the effort was proceeding with "Agonizing Slowness." If Bob Lazar ever found redemption it was at the hands of Admiral Wilson.

The second major revelation came from four Navy seamen on the Nimitz carrier group. These four were insiders on the Tic-Toc incident. The came forward together and blew the lid off any hopes of covering up incident. For the first time there was a "Smoking Gun" showing that the Navy had encountered an alien presence that demonstrated capabilities far beyond anything our defense forces could manage. As a result the American Public got to see the gun camera footage that such alien craft actually exist. Despite the "Word smithing" (Changing UFO to Unidentified Arial Phenomena (UAP)) the words mean the same thing. It is reminiscent of President Clinton's famous words, "... well that depends on what the definition of IS, is."

Like Clinton, if the Gatekeepers could have lied their way out of the Admiral Wilson and the Tic-Toc revelations they would have. Since they couldn't the strategy was to suck it up and put the best shade of lipstick on the irrefutable evidence that UFOs exist. The ETs have been around a long time, and we have been successful in retrieving and attempting to back engineer crashed alien hardware. For seventy-five years Americans have been kept in the dark as to what was really going on because knowledge is power. The nation that figures out how these craft operate will essentially rule the planet. The Nation that figures out Anti Gravity, first will have a power that makes the Atomic Bomb look like a cracker ball.

And that's what this is all about! Imagine the frustration the past seventy-five years, knowing the extraterrestrials exist, having their crashed technology and not being able to figure it out? A big part has to do with security. We have not had the "First Team" working the problem. It is more important for the gatekeepers to keep the outside world in the dark than in figuring out how the technology operates. If you haven't listened to Bob Lazar, then search his name and listen to his interviews. Before he got caught he was in the hanger with an alien craft, "The Sports Model" and crawling atop the anti-gravity drive. Still, Lazar is but one tree. There are many more such as the two big ones described above. There is a whole forest of credible observers each providing their unique perspectives on the coverup. There is a veritable forest of truth staring us right in the face. For God's Sake America, WAKE UP! Don't get suckered into fixating on just one piece of evidence. The three letter agencies can take any one incident and make a rabbit look like a donkey. Step back and see the totality of what's been going on. There have been monumental events taking place kept from the public eye, evidence which is vital to the interests of each and every one of us. The GATEKEEPERS have had three quarters of a century to figure things out and are still no closer to the answers than when the whole coverup started in 1947 at Roswell New Mexico. It's time we fired these incompetents and handed over the baton to a new generation of scientists.

If you ever feel unmotivated to write go back and read an essay or short story you wrote earlier.

I guarantee that if you do you'll see an unwritten something or the other crying out. "Birth Me, Birth me." That something from the earlier context is pleading with you to give it expression.

I took a piece written several years ago, "The Precious Princess" and submitted it last month to a WDC contest. I had to change some things to to satisfy the prompt, and those changes made it a better work. Every day I would go back and "Tweak" this or that.

One of the things I resolved to do was work on "resonance." Many who write have no clue what resonance is all about. Since the advent of "Free verse" it is becoming less common. It is the "heartbeat" of a work and almost invisible when at work.

Last night on "Utube" I saw this video on Damascus Steel. These guys were trying to figure out how to make it. The art and science has been lost to antiquity. I remember thinking that this is a good analogy to the type of poetry that Kipling Wrote, a skill that is all but lost in modern times. If you read "Gunga Din" you'll understand what I mean. Just as a metallurgist looks in wonder at a Damascus steel sword, I look in wonder at what old Rudyard wrote, and my jaw drops open in sheer amazement. The sad fact is that it got too hard to write and so the state of the art devolved into what we see today.

Anyway, I'm drifting off topic. Go back to something you wrote earlier and therein you'll see the inspiration you're looking for. It's like wondering about a path you might have once taken. It is right there in your earlier material. Just go back and take it.
