Well today Al-Qaeda’s number 3 guy, Abu Laith al-Libi went down in the books. He was killed in Pakistan, the full details have not come in as of yet, but new details, are saying that he was killed by a drone missile. They are saying that al-Libi was the third ranking official for Al-Qaeda.

Abu Laith al-Libi was involved in many different conspiracy’s including, the February 2007 bombing at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during the time that Dick Cheney was in the country. He is behind the plotting of multiple attacks on the US, and its forces, as well as afghan officials.

So after the events of the day this has got to be stirring some emotions, in the administration of Al-Qaeda. It would be the equivalent of a member of the presidential administration being taken out, which should cause some major chaos for Al-Qaeda.

This would be a prime time to keep a major outlook on the number one man who I would imagine would take one of two steps. One he either bunkers down deep and lays low to make sure that he cannot be found, to keep out of the reach of our intelligence, or any intelligence for that matter. The second approach that I could see them taking would be for him to keep moving constantly, so that we are always hours behind him, but never catch up.

There is many different tactics that can be taken into consideration, our job would be to find out which one and focus on it. To be able to catch number one would be an extreme increase in comfort, and would put a calming feeling in most, but will not be the end of Al-Qaeda. I would imagine that resources are already being put in place, to replace the fallen member today. Until the complete Al-Qaeda is dissolved, we will not be at peace, nor will the citizen’s of Afghanistan.

Yesterday I was at work, just typing along helping customers, when I got a message from a co-worker. The message started blinking I opened it up and the content said “hey isn’t this you, and it showed a jpeg file from Photoshare. The message being from a trusted co-worker I clicked on the file to open it, and all HELL broke lose.

Symantec freaked out and told me that it had detected multiple Trojan Horses. Immediately after I clicked on it, I saw my email address I knew exactly what I had done. It spread throughout our entire coporation, infecting hundreds of computer.

It initially started with a co-worker that got it from an outside source and worked its way through his contact list, to multiple people that eventually made it to me and I continued the cycle because I was not warned early enough. Still today we have not been able to get it off numerous computers including mine, that we are now not able to use until IT makes it over here to clear them off.

People out side of the company have told us that it took hours of work yesterday to get it off of theirs. I was told by a co-worker that she had sent it to her cousin that works for a different company, and it pretty much shut down operations for the day.

This is pretty much the series of events that happens. Someone on your contact list gets infected, after they had downloaded the executable file, it then attaches to the messaging program that you are using, and sends out a message with the file, to random contacts on your list posing as you.

So if you get a message from a trusted contact, that asks you “Hey isn’t this you?” don’t download it just close the screen, open up a knew one and ask that person if they just sent you a picture… mostly likely the won’t have.

Well last night after publishing my most recent post, a rather interesting issue was brought to my attention. A comment was left on the the post saying “On the one hand you talk about protecting your “freedoms”, while on the other you talk of restricting other people’s right to choose to consume a relatively harmless substance like marijuana. Sounds more like fascsim to me.”

So let me get into this a little bit. First of all let’s learn the definition of Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

The post had nothing to do with racism, It clearly defined that it would not be a good idea to open the border’s because of the amount of drugs that are being trafficked at this point let alone, when they open the border’s and there is nothing stopping them from coming across with a clean conscience. I did not say anything whether or not that it was Americans trafficking drugs, or if it was Mexicans trafficking drugs. I just wanted people to be aware of the fact that they are being trafficked at this point at a high amount, I could not even imagine the amount after the union.

Second of all, I do want to protect our freedoms, but guess what? smoking weed is not a freedom, it is not a privilege, and last time I checked it is still against the law. Thirdly, I guarantee the money seized in those pictures was not all attributed to marijuana sales.

And last but not least, Marijuana is not “Harmless” it is still a drug, and a gateway drug at that. It still gets you mixed in with the wrong people, which gets you mixed in with the wrong stuff, which puts you on a sweet highway to nothing. They can lead you down a path of no return. They can hinder your whole life, and the way that you see things. They change you so much, that it is extremely hard to rebound from it. With help you can return, if you don’t believe me ask my friend Robert at www.becomingwellnow.com

I didn’t mean to get off on a tangent about the use of marijuana, but I do not agree at all that it is harmless, and I do not believe that my views are racist at all, if you know me, you would not think that for a minute. But I do believe in our freedoms, and privilege’s that can be taken away from us if we are not careful.
