Maggie's Farm

I grew up poor, real poor no welfare and free housing. I got a pair of shoes and a pair of pants each September to wear all year. Our Family had one pair of "Bean" boots and when your feet grew into them you got to wear them. I didn't have gloves or mittens I wore socks on my hands so I could carry my books to school in the winter. We ate poor too, usually not "bad" but sometimes no food or bd food. I would as a young child check the back of the supermarket for expired fruits, vegetables and even bread that they had thrown out and when I brought this home my mother was always glad to get it. This was the 40's and 50's, no welfare and what they did have my mother was too proud to ask for. The funny thing is I didn't know I grew up poor until my late teens ad by then things were better for my family and other families. Growing up poor made me stronger and more resilient and left me confident I could face anything life would throw at me. The difference between then and now is that my mother taught me to read before I was 5 YO and instilled a love of reading in me and my siblings. Homework was mandatory and poor grades were not an option. Honesty and trust worthiness were a way of life and lying or stealing were punished. IMHO poverty is not the problem parents and government are the problem.

Every now and then a spy is caught and exposed. They might be inside government or a tech industry or they might be buying information from an insider. It makes a big splash and it high lights the seriousness of our vulnerability. But just a week ago the biggest international spy/sabotage scandal blew up and we barely noticed. They discovered a powerful cell phone "network" capable of doing massive damage to cell service or to scam/disable/false flag government systems. This wasn't a couple of techies building a hacking device in their garage, this was 10,000 times worse. And it was very deliberate and literally could be interpreted as and act of war had it been used before it was discovered. We do not know, yet, how far this reaches. So far it was the greater NYCity area but we don't know if they had one in every big city or near every military installation or in DC. This is a BFD. Don't dismiss this. This is exactly the type of thing used in a precursor to open war. If this had not been discovered and had been used as they intended it would be the high tech equivalent to Pearl Harbor. We don't know what the intent was. We don't know what would have followed such an attack. We don't know how widespread this is, i.e. in other cities and near military installations. And the fact that we don't know should be terrifying to our intelligence, military and law enforcement organizations. Everyone's hair should be on fire and it appears that they are patting themselves on their backs that they found it. Where is the urgency and national mobilization to find other installations like this and to find who set them up and what their objective was. I would love to believe that our government is on this but...
