THIS ISLAND CHROME AND PRANKY. A mirror shade Trinacria. SYRENA. APPLES and OTHER STORIES. Computer virus. Computer viruses currently cause billions of dollars worth of economic damage each year,[14] due to causing systems failure, wasting computer resources, corrupting data, increasing maintenance costs, etc. In response, free, open-source antivirus tools have been developed, and a multi-billion dollar industry of antivirus software vendors has cropped up, selling virus protection to users of various operating systems of which Windows is often the most victimized, partially due to its extreme popularity.

[citation needed] No currently existing antivirus software is able to catch all computer viruses (especially new ones); computer security researchers are actively searching for new ways to enable antivirus solutions to more effectively detect emerging viruses, before they have already become widely distributed.[15] Vulnerabilities and infection vectors[edit] Software bugs[edit] Social engineering and poor security practices[edit] Vulnerability of different operating systems to viruses[edit] The Main Character. Dark Avenger. Dark Avenger was a pseudonym of a computer virus writer from Sofia, Bulgaria. He gained considerable popularity during the early 1990s, as some of his viruses spread not only nationwide, but across Europe as well, even reaching the United States.

Background and origins[edit] In the late 1980's and early 1990's, personal computers in Bulgaria were relatively rare, with only the wealthiest citizens able to afford one. Nevertheless, Bulgaria had a blooming computer hardware industry, which specialised in providing large numbers of PCs for educational purposes. In April, 1988, Bulgaria's specialised magazine for computers, 'Компютър за Вас' (Computer for You), issued an article which explained in detail the nature of computer viruses and even methods for writing them.[1] A few months after that, Bulgaria was "visited" by several foreign viruses, namely "Vienna", "Ping Pong" and "Cascade".

Soon, a wave of Bulgarian viruses erupted, started by the "Old Yankee" and "Vacsina" viruses. A PINTEREST 'bout R.A.Wilson. Apocalypse Culture | Books | Feral House.

Discordianism. "Sacred Chao" redirects here. For the German thrash metal band by that name, see Living Death. There is some division as to whether it should be regarded as a parody religion, and if so to what degree.[2] It is difficult to estimate the number of Discordians because they are not required to hold Discordianism as their only belief system,[3] and because there is an encouragement to form schisms and cabals.[4][5] Founding[edit] The foundational document of Discordianism is the Principia Discordia, fourth edition, written by Malaclypse the Younger, an alias of Greg Hill.

This book contains many references to an earlier source, The Honest Book of Truth (HBT). From the quotations, the HBT seems to be arranged like the Bible, consisting of verses grouped into chapters grouped into books grouped into the HBT itself. Organization[edit] The very idea of a Discordian organization is something of a paradox. POEE[edit] History[edit] Eris[edit] The Original Snub[edit] Curse of Greyface[edit] See also[edit]

SYRENA as creature is a symbol of pure chaos. CHAO. CHAOS as a TOOL. MAFIA as PARADYGM. NOVA CUPOLA. The Wizard of Oz and Monarch Slave Programming | The Kassandra Project: freedom against disinformation. Author: Johnny Peepers MONARCH programming is a trauma-based form of controlling human behavior without the subject’s knowledge. As a result of ritualistic sexual abuse, human and animal sacrifice participation (blood rituals), electro-shock, and other more technologically modern techniques, the mind splits off (or dissociates) into programmable personalities separate from the core. Further conditioning involves pleasure/pain reversals, food/water/sensory deprivation, hypnotism, double-bind coercion, and the administration of drugs to the subject.

The victims of this form of mind control are deployed as assassins, drug mules, prostitutes, serial murders, or agent provocateurs. Trauma-based mind control dates back at least to the ancient Egyptians. Another way of examining this convoluted victimization of body and soul is by looking at it as a complex computer program: A file (alter) is created through trauma, repetition and reinforcement.

Sicilian Mafia Commission. The Sicilian Mafia Commission, known as Commissione or Cupola, is a body of leading Mafia members to decide on important questions concerning the actions of, and settling disputes within the Sicilian Mafia or Cosa Nostra. It is composed of representatives of a mandamento (a district of three geographically contiguous Mafia families) that are called capo mandamento or rappresentante. The Commission is not a central government of the Mafia, but a representative mechanism for consultation of independent Mafia families who decide by consensus. "Contrary to the wide-spread image presented by the media, these superordinate bodies of coordination cannot be compared with the executive boards of major legal firms. Their power is intentionally limited [and] it would be entirely wrong to see in the Cosa Nostra a centrally managed, internationally active Mafia holding company," according to criminologist Letizia Paoli.[1] Judge Cesare Terranova who disclosed the existence of a Mafia Commission.

SIGN. L. Ron Hubbard. Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (March 13, 1911 – January 24, 1986), better known as L. Ron Hubbard (/ɛl rɒn ˈhʌˌbərd/, ELL-ron-HUB-ərd[2]) and often referred to by his initials, LRH, was an American author and the founder of the Church of Scientology. After establishing a career as a writer, becoming best known for his science fiction and fantasy stories, he developed a self-help system called Dianetics which was first expounded in book form in May 1950. He subsequently developed his ideas into a wide-ranging set of doctrines and rituals as part of a new religious movement that he called Scientology.

His writings became the guiding texts for the Church of Scientology and a number of affiliated organizations that address such diverse topics as business administration, literacy and drug rehabilitation. Although many aspects of Hubbard's life story are disputed, there is general agreement about its basic outline.[3] Born in Tilden, Nebraska, he spent much of his childhood in Helena, Montana. The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs. First English translation The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs is a book by Daniel Odier built around an extensive series of interviews with Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs conducted in the late 1960s. Originally published in France in 1969, it was later reissued in several different English-language editions. As Burroughs explains in a foreword, what began as a series of impromptu interviews covering topics ranging from Scientology to Burroughs' longtime drug addiction led to a work that contains flashbacks and cinematic-style "fade outs".

Later editions of the book added a prologue by Burroughs entitled "Playback from Watergate to the Garden of Eden" that reflected on topics of discussion that emerged after the Odier interviews. THE POPE. The Godfather (1972. Michele Greco. Michele Greco (Ciaculli, May 12, 1924 – Rome, February 13, 2008) was a member of the Sicilian Mafia, previously incarcerated for multiple murders.

His nickname was "il Papa" (The Pope) because of his ability to mediate between different Mafia families.[1] Greco was the head of the Sicilian Mafia Commission. Rise to power[edit] Michele Greco was part of the powerful Greco Mafia clan that ruled both in his native Ciaculli and in Croceverde Giardini, two suburbs close to Palermo. He took over the mandamento of Croceverde Giardini after his father Giuseppe Greco, "Piddu u tinenti", died.

Salvatore Greco's nickname was "The Senator" for his political connections.[3] He was the kingmaker of Christian Democrat politicians such as Giovanni Gioia, Vito Ciancimino and Giuseppe Insalaco.[4] Many of those notables were invited by "The Pope" and "The Senator" to wine and dine and take part in hunting parties at his estate La Favarella. Puppet boss[edit] Manhunt and capture[edit] References[edit] Meyer Lansky. Meyer Lansky (born Meyer Suchowljansky;[1] July 4, 1902 – January 15, 1983), known as the "Mob's Accountant", was a major organized crime figure who, along with his associate Charles "Lucky" Luciano, was instrumental in the development of the "National Crime Syndicate" in the United States. For decades he was thought to be one of the most powerful individuals in the country. [citation needed] Lansky developed a gambling empire which stretched across the seas.

He was said to own points in casinos in Las Vegas, Cuba, The Bahamas and London. Although a member of the Jewish Mob, Lansky undoubtedly had strong influence with the Italian Mafia and played a large role in the consolidation of the criminal underworld (although the full extent of this role has been the subject of some debate, as he himself denied many of the accusations against him).[2] Despite all the reports, the U.S. Early life[edit] Lansky met Bugsy Siegel when they were teenagers.

The "night singer of shares" sold stock on the streets during the South Sea Bubble. Amsterdam, 1720. Microcap stock fraud is a form of securities fraud involving stocks of "microcap" companies, generally defined in the United States as those with a market capitalization of under $250 million.

Its prevalence has been estimated to run into the billions of dollars a year.[1][2][3] Many microcap stocks are penny stocks, which the SEC defines as a security that trades at less than $5 per share, is not listed on a national exchange, and fails to meet other specific criteria.[4] Microcap stock fraud generally takes place among stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service, stocks which usually do not meet the requirements to be listed on the stock exchanges. Microcap fraud encompasses several types of investor fraud: Pump and dump[edit] Many penny stocks, particularly those that trade for fractions of a cent, are thinly traded. Chop stocks[edit] Panopticon. Prison design The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century.

The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched. Conceptual history[edit] The word panopticon derives from the Greek word for "all seeing" – panoptes.[3] In 1785, Jeremy Bentham, an English social reformer and founder of utilitarianism, travelled to Krichev in Mogilev Governorate of the Russian Empire (modern Belarus) to visit his brother, Samuel, who accompanied Prince Potemkin.[4]: xxxviii Bentham arrived in Krichev in early 1786[5] and stayed for almost two years. Bentham thought that the chief mechanism that would bring the manager of the panopticon prison in line with the duty to be humane would be publicity.
