Language of the God(s)

June 20th, 2008

In Man and His Symbols, Jung shows us the same archetypes in the untutored dreams of contemporary children, in medieval alchemy, in Hindu mythology, and in Persian folk tales. Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts have continued and extended this study of a vast and strange inner world, little appreciated until quite recently. How does Jung account for the universality of symbolic themes? He sees it as evidence for the collective unconscious, which could be called the collective Soul of humanity. Jung was not the first person in Freud’s school who took from the Mystery Schools set up by St. Germain de Medicis in Freud’s Vienna. But few authors talk about Silberer and fewer still know about how great an adept Hitler learned to be in these arts. Hitler and his father before him had studied long and hard in this bastion of Rothschild involvement. They received money in a legacy from their Rothschild family according to the OSS in a book by Langer called The Mind of Adolph Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was another personal coven of the Rothschilds in London as Crowley weaved his magic. Joseph Campbell did a forward to Marija Gimbutas’ Language of the Goddess and there is a lot in her archaeological work that he knew would have altered much of what he had previously written. Jung did an excellent forward to the Evans-Wentz version of The Tibetan Book of The Dead and I heartily recommend it to any person seeking to know what connects the likes of Krishnamurti and Jung beyond the mere scholarship of Eranos Conference scholars.

In fact the Set and Gematria of all alphabets can be traced to adept Keltic or Phoenician scholars who the Father of Biblical Archaeology knows gave us the Bible. I think it is important for us to know who these ‘gods’ calling themselves Anunnaki or Elohim and alien Dragons were. So I have done a whole new history of man’s cultural evolution that uses forensic and modern artifacts that I am sure Joseph Campbell would have loved to have access to.

Secrecy A Security Deterrent To Social Engineering

June 10th, 2008

Social Engineering is the act of tricking or cunning people into giving out sensitive information, which is used for fraud, vengeance, murder or destruction.

The aim of this is to bring personal gain to the perpetrator and losses to the victim. The victim could be an individual, a family, an organization, or Government.

The reason why social engineering seem to succeed is because information that should be kept secret are right out there in the open in plain view for people to see.

Most individuals, families, organization and government establishments do not have information classification policy in place.

Information classification policy defines the degree of sensitivity of an information. Take this example, what information in our family do we classify as “restricted”, that is the information meant only for the family; father, mother and children. Anytime a member of the family comes home after 9pm, it is considered late. We use our secret code (number of door knocks) to get the door opened by a member of the family. This acts as a deterrent to house burglars, such an information is restricted to the family and must not be leaked out.

Secrecy is the only weapon that minimizes or prevents the act of social engineering. Secrecy is the only effective counter measure against social engineering.

Tips to Counter Social Engineering Using Secrecy as a Security Deterrent

  • Don’t give too much information to outsiders with whom you do business.
  • Learn the safe use of email as a communication tool.
  • Keep watchful eyes on people who enter your place of business for service or maintenance calls or to make deliveries.
  • Get a safe with changeable combination lock to store secret documents. Don’t use your birthday, or birthday of someone close to you as the combination. Change the combination frequently in an unpredictable schedule.
  • Formulate an information classification policy. Make it available for your employees, and family members.
  • All duplicate keys to critical files or safes must be kept by one person.
  • Do not conduct business in public places.
  • Learn what to say over a public phone boot.
  • When using your phone in a public place do not include sensitive information in your conversation.
  • Be careful the kind of information you place in public sites.
  • As a company that uses its website to conduct e-commerce, the best way to safe guard the credit details of your customers is not to store them on a web server but to store them off-line in an encrypted file.
  • Train your staff or family members on the need for secrecy. Tell them the importance of secrecy, show them the benefits of keeping certain information secret.
  • Buy a good paper shredder and use it. All paper scraps or information no longer needed should be shredded before throwing it in the waste bin.
  • Confidentiality agreements should be signed by employees promising not to reveal trade secrets or company secrets.
  • Social engineering is an act that no security technological tool can fight. The best weapon is secrecy. Learn the act of secrecy Now!

    Breaking Into Your PC “News”…

    May 28th, 2008

    You’d better learn news from media, not from emails, security experts warn us users again.

    Numerous emails with “breaking news” in subject lines are appearing in users’ inboxes. If you got one, don’t look into such a message — delete it straight away. Don’t open its attachment. Those who distribute malicious code take advantage of our curiosity. They use especially effective social engineering techniques to lure users into opening attachments and following links.

    Is there anybody who wouldn’t like to be the very first one to learn breaking news or see something really exciting? For example, something like:

    “Osama bin Laden caught”,
    “Saddam Hussein has died”,
    “Michael Jackson tried to commit suicide”.

    Would you like to open a message with such a subject line and learn what’s in it? You’d better not. There are malicious programs inside these “news” waiting for you to click.

    These (and similar) tricks are usually called social engineering. Online criminals have become good psychologists. They are ingenious in finding new ways to make people do what they want — open an attachment or click on a link to visit a certain website. For these unprincipled rogues it’s all right to profiteer from human tears and blood — they actively use news about tragic events as a bait.

    One of the latest, detected by Trend Micro in mid-July, was a spam e-mail with “TERROR HITS LONDON,” subject line. It mimicked a CNN newsletter and asked the recipients to “see attachments for unique amateur video shots.” When a user opened the attachment, his PC gets infected with the Trojan horse program named Troj_DonBomb.A

    On August 5th another one was reported by Sophos– an email disguised as an alert about the death
    of 140 US marines in Iraq. The email claims to contain a breaking news report from Guardian Unlimited and has a link to the “full story” which leads users to a bogus web page with two Trojans built in.

    Cgab-A and Borodr-Fam Trojans slip through unpatched Internet Explorers. These Trojans will allow the criminal to take full control over the infected PC; they also be collecting the user’s personal information and using his computer to send more copies of thesmselves.

    It’s not the first time these emails are disguised as news alerts — there were outbreaks when infected spam posed as CNN news. It seems that spoofing legitimate news agencies to infect more PC users by means of bogus “news alerts” has become a popular social engineering technique. And by all means there will be more of them in future.

    So, it’s better not to learn any news from e-mail messages.
    Try to resist the temptation to open email with some REALLY BREAKING NEWS.

    Don’t open, don’t click. And patch your browser.
