OK.........
You wonder why I am who I am and can still live to talk about such things.
Here are the beans.

Back in the 70s......watch the movie and wait until the end.
Some of us helped the authorities and avoided prosecution.

It was not impossible to hack that. In fact, we did by random association hacking techniques.

I was later, after 2 YEARS of investigation. was revealed to know more about the NSA than their own security official, which were then fired. There is a lsting of the staff cleansing about then...this is openly available information.

What I did was hack the most secure network in the nation. AND sat here doing nothing with is. They paid ME for assuring that I had not tranferred any information from an actual intrusion OR how I did it.
And took during a physical intrusion, the USB key I used.
I could never get there again.......or could I?
After years of trying, I have that key again.
But I must express this clearly or they shall be at my door again.
I have NEVER tried to enter any top level key enabled site at ANY US server.
I am simply saying that now I have the key that I originated and CAN do so.

There six other people that survive in the US that have the key now.
They learned their lesson well.
You now have to kill SIX of us to absolutely clean the network...LOL.
And that would be assuming all six of us carry the stick in their pocket when they are shot down.OR are stupid enough to have it in close proximity.
They know I originated the key code, and are simply not so stupid as to atacke me, as if they did, it would be revealed here automatically within 96 hours.
If I do not check in to that site once in a few days, it goes live.
And the entire GSA and NSA network is anybodies.

I own that key. I am the only one wh0 physically knoes whjereit is.

Oh, that was a hard bit of life getting Tigger and Tigger two both in the ground.
But, now that it is over I do feel just a tad better about what life I have remaining and the two 14yo kitties I have left to accompany me on the way home myself.

When the wonders of the coming spring awaken me one day soon, I shall consider what life I have left and if there is any room remaining to share it with any other kitty companions. I might be amiss if I were to take on a kitten with a 15 year lifespan when I do not really believe I have that many years left myself...and older kitties are harder to adopt in any case, so I have a decision to make there. But, can I force myself to adopt an elder kitty, knowing the pain I shall be forced to endure once again when I have to tend to their needs in the 'Bridge mode'? I suddenly do not have answers for that question.

I certainly am not going to deny myself the experience of kitty love simply because I have lost one so dear or that it appears I have so little left myself.

I constantly implore others to open their hearts and give a kitty a forever home.
Even in my state of impending death, I feel I must carry out what I have set forth for others to do, and love all the kittyness I am able to until...death do us part. Mine or theirs.

Meow.

This I will post here, for any to accept or deny.
Not my part to call any out for either belief or disbelief of either version.

This should give some on the fence, however, some point of jumping off.

Please accept this with an open mind.

I have long admitted my belief that God exists.
The immense odds are so vast that our existence due to celestial circumstance are almost now impossible to believe.
If we are to search the vast universe for OTHER life, we first have to address how WE became to be.
I am a believer, and I cannot be swayed on that fact...note the word fact.
God created the vast universe. And He created US.

Any realistic visions of any other belief do not hold water.

From Wikipedia
This may explain much.


" Toxoplasma gondii (IPA /ˈtɑːksəˌplæzmə ˈɡɑːndi.aɪ/) is an obligate intracellular, parasitic protozoan that causes the disease toxoplasmosis.[3] Found worldwide, T. gondii is capable of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals,[4] but felids such as domestic cats are the only known definitive hosts in which the parasite can undergo sexual reproduction.[5]

In humans, T. gondii is one of the most common parasites in developed countries;[6][7] serological studies estimate that 30–50% of the global population has been exposed to and may be chronically infected with T. gondii, although infection rates differ significantly from country to country.[8][9] For example, previous estimates have shown the highest prevalence of persons infected to be in France, at 84%.[10] Although mild, flu-like symptoms occasionally occur during the first few weeks following exposure, infection with T. gondii produces no readily observable symptoms in healthy human adults.[8][11][12] This asymptomatic state of infection is referred to as a latent infection and has recently been associated with numerous subtle adverse or pathological behavioral alterations in humans.[8][13] In infants, HIV/AIDS patients, and others with weakened immunity, infection can cause serious and occasionally fatal illness (toxoplasmosis).[11][12]

T. gondii has been shown to alter the behavior of infected rodents in ways thought to increase the rodents' chances of being preyed upon by cats.[10][14][15] Support for this "Manipulation Hypothesis" stems from studies showing T. gondii infected rats have a decreased aversion to cat urine and increased reaction time.[10] Because cats are the only hosts within which T. gondii can sexually reproduce to complete and begin its lifecycle, such behavioral manipulations are thought to be evolutionary adaptations that increase the parasite's reproductive success.[10] The primary mechanisms of T. gondii–induced behavioral changes in rodents is now known to occur through epigenetic remodeling in neurons which govern the associated behaviors;[16][17] for example, it modifies epigenetic methylation to cause hypomethylation of arginine vasopressin-related genes in the medial amygdala to greatly decrease predator aversion.[16][17] Widespread histone-lysine acetylation in cortical astrocytes appears to be another epigenetic mechanism employed by T. gondii.[18][19] Differences in aversion to cat urine are observed between non-infected and infected humans and sex differences within these groups were apparent as well.[20]

A number of studies have suggested that subtle behavioral or personality changes may occur in infected humans,[21] and infection with the parasite has recently been associated with a number of neurological disorders, particularly schizophrenia.[15] A 2015 study also found cognitive deficits in adults to be associated with joint infection by both T. gondii and Helicobacter pylori in a regression model with controls for race-ethnicity and educational attainment.[22] However, although a causal relationship between latent toxoplasmosis with these neurological phenomena has not yet been established,[8][15] preliminary evidence suggests that T. gondii infection can induce some of the same alterations in the human brain as those observed in mice.[23][24]"
