Agree with you mchain, but we still haven't woken up to the situation we have now in our part of the world.
First the global puppet masters worked hand in foot with governments and big global corps to spy on their own citizens.
They also dumbed them down to a level where they won't even have to fear the least form of any futile resistence.
I see youngsters now that haven't even learnt how to discern between even and uneven month days on the knuckles of their two hands. What do these Mrs Robinsons learn these kids these days? They cannot fence for themselves whatoever.
Same in the digital world. Gaping holes in propriety software. Windows defender holed, cannot be patched because many AV have it disabled by default. You have a problem with global ransomeware now as the goodies wrought by NSA, CIA, FBI also finally land with the bad and the ugly. IT has not learned to protect us. All clever d*ckies have to leave the office as they form a threat to their ruling dumb but greedy manager class. Staff, that are too dumb to p**p, but greedy and manipulative enough to rule the meek out of all of their money. I do not see a solution for the near future, I only see the situation detoriating further. Who's gonna save us? A Russian tree saint like Kaspersky or DrWeb's?
Make America great again, and if you have to admit you dumbed them down yourself and worked your infrastructure down the drain. Then your leaders start whining and blame the Russkies and other well educated people. Like the end-times of Imperial Rome it is. I cannot feel pity for them anymore now, and I laugh when I see al the hospital and police sites having to be taken down against the global ransomeware threat we have at her hands now. When will the people learn to go back and fence for themselves again.
