My New Facebook Rules

Hello Friends,

I am hoping you will read this as it will be how I interact on Facebook from now on and you might want to get a few tips.

I have no idea what the big picture is but I could make a few conjectures. However, I am going to leave that up to you and just tell you what happened.

Someone put me into what seemed like a totally benign, open group yesterday. It is an international group that supposedly had a good reputation. One person asked what was a simple question that no one was answering so I gave a really simple 2 line answer. It was, by-the-way, the correct answer.

Within minutes both I and the person who asked and unknown parties were being attacked in the group. Now whether they knew the person who asked the question, I don't know. I do know they did not know me from Adam. The attacks were quickly personal and I explained my experience, source of information and that it was up to anyone to either take it seriously, research it or toss it out but a little less ego would be a good thing. At no point in this 2 sentence answer did I attack, defame or even appear aggressive and you all know I can be. I wish I could access the answer for you but I can't because.....

I exited the group, not wanting to interact with these slightly crazy people ever again...I didn't say that. I just unjoined with no reason given. Considering the size of this group, I had doubted anyone would even notice my exit.

Within 10 minutes I could no longer like, comment or share ANYTHING on my personal or commercial pages. I have a totally private personal page and the same things applied. The ticker on the right hand sidebar disappeared next, then all my messages, friend requests and newsfeed comments. The only thing I was able to do was update my status, which would just sit there. When I tried to leave the page, it would ask if I was sure I wanted to do that before the status was published. I could stay there all night and nothing would happen but if I switched to my main page, there would be the update, published.

I would think the incidents were unrelated except for one thing. I could still manage to access my groups and pages and lo and behold, I was back in the group. If I ever manage, Facebook is trying to fix it, to get back on, I will block that group and be looking for anyone trying be my friend with connections to it.

I know as an administrator of my own groups, it is easy to become overwhelmed and just open the group to public membership when you start getting ten or more requests a day or hour and you just don't have time to inspect them all. That is human nature. That is also what someone expects you to do. Now they can insert all trolls and the next thing you know, you don't recognize your group and things like what just happened to me happen to you and your members. Sadly, there a lot of people on Facebook who have a lot of professional programming experience and because they are having a bad hour, day or life are willing to blame the cute kitty in the MEME with it and destroy all your work and pages for nothing more than a whim.

There is no one on Facebook who can safeguard your privacy except you. I have always left things open as I don't publish anything I don't expect to be on the front page of the newspaper today. I know there is no privacy.

However, I will exit all groups except a couple of Farmville groups when this is fixed. I will lock my pages down and you will no longer have access to a lot of things. The Friends that I know share the same religion and interests will be invited to my private page...everyone else is blocked.

I am simply too old to play games, except Farmville and Farm Town. Yes, I have a lifetime of information, experience and study which I have always given freely to anyone who asked as long as I wasn't going to screwed by it. Obviously, that day has gone.

I suggest everyone go through every group and page they no longer visit and remove it. As long as the connection to the group exists, the people in the group can connect to you. Then, start paying close attention to that little world next to the post button. Control who can see your posts. Go into your privacy settings and make certain no one can share your posts but you. That means in order to share the cute kitty picture you are probably going to have to go to the source to get it. It will be blocked at my end.

I would tell you what I think of this but it would violate several obscenity laws. This is the third time this has happened to me. The third time is charm.

The Order of Assassins

Pay close attention to the symbols and patterns and then think about where else you see them.

The closest most of you have come to the Order of Assassins in the famous book and film made there of. Unfortunately, there was a lot of literary license with both and the real origin and purpose of the assassins may surprise you. You may be asking yourself shortly, “where have I seen that lately?”

When Mohammed died, there was a great fight over who would inherit the throne so to speak. Islam broke into two factions, the Shia sect that believed in the apocalyptic version of the Bible and Koran and the Shiites, who believed in the Millennium or Day of Judgment followed by 1000 years of peace and spirituality. You may notice at this time that Christianity actually embraced both versions of the 'end of times'.

The Shia sect broke apart and one faction became the Ismaili which gave birth to the Assassins. The Ismaili were organized like a Masonic Lodge complete with secret symbols, initiations and a strong belief in an Apocalypse and a coming Messiah. Hasan-i Sabbah was a member of the 'lodge' and after a particularly long and bad illness was convinced God had given him a divine mission. It was more of a business plan than anything divine.

He managed to convince the lodge to let him form his own little chapter at the top of the mountain called an Almut or 'Eagle's Nest or teachings'. (Watch the symbols, folks.) Now, Assassin actually comes from “hashshishin” which translates to user of hashish.

You guessed right when you began to think they were a bunch of druggies getting their inspiration from a drugged out dream however, you would be wrong if you thought that was their only purpose. In each of these Almuts, a beautiful garden was created watered by 3 streams of wine, water and milk. The garden contained every plant imaginable. This would enhance the drugged experience and of course, the availability of drugs provided an enticement to join.

But the Almuts had other ideas. Through assassinations of public officials in very public venues, they managed a nice network of extortion and became very wealthy and very, very feared. They ran into a little problem in recruiting assassins. The prerequisite poor, fanatical young men figured out rather quickly that assassinating a beloved public figure in a very crowded public area guaranteed you were not going survive and there was a shortage of suicidal young men. So, the Order of Assassins came up with a, excellent plan.....you may have seen it recently...

They would find a fanatic, drug him and take him to the sacred garden which even had the sacred prostitutes in it. For three days his every whim was indulged and he truly thought he had gone to Heaven. On the third night, he was drugged again returned to his hovel. Now all anyone had to do was convince him that to return to Heaven all he had to do was assassinate their target and as you might expect, still brain addled from the drugs, wine and women, he forgot about the suicide part and even if it crossed his mind, he had already seen Heaven and was going back. It was real!

The two tenets of the assassins code were to kill a famous, beloved person in a very, very public place.

It is much easier to assassinate someone in a private location, where no one is going to get you and the job is done. The Assassins survived by instilling terror in the masses. No one was safe because they just killed your leader. People easily paid tribute to them far and wide.

Do they exist today? Take a good look around. They never really were a “Muslim Order” or a religious group. They were more of a Mystery Lodge organized similar to the Masonic Lodge. Their primary purpose was extortion and when they were finally targeted, they simply disappeared or did they just become the invisible army of another political force?

Drugs were an important part of their control of assassins and the last two shooters we experienced were on heavy psychiatric medications. Every assassination attempt, successful or not, on a president has been in a public place at a public event. Really, it would be much easier and safer to nail them in the garden taking a walk with a long range rifle. All the assassins have been addled when they were apprehended and shortly killed going back to JFK.

The Lone Assassin is a myth. The government's own investigation suggested further investigation was needed into JFK and Robert Kennedy's assassinations as it appeared the assassins did NOT work alone. Were they part of this network? You have to wonder as you look at that huge eagle and consider that they intended to dismantle the Federal Reserve. JFK had announced his intentions very shortly before his trip to Dallas. The Order of Assassins were very, very rich and undoubtedly one of the founding members of the banking cartel. Makes you wonder when the template for action seems to be the same for hundreds of years, doesn't it?
