U.S. Department of Justice Disrupts Hive Ransomware Variant

Thank god! A take-down! (Positive for Business & Victims).

A core group of Hive Actors were operating out of co-working hubs in SF & Costa Rica '14, bragging about Tor + methods of attack.

Their collective, was generally brilliant. Not all, but most.
Alternative. Druggie hackers (outside looking in).
Not all were bad; some desired to disrupt in a good way.

Overall I felt uncomfortable at their space. They were also generally more organized & more nice, than other co-working.

I met Jered Kenna (brief intro; I don't know him). I liked his presence. I have a sense, that he is working on something, for good (Don't know, just a feeling whether true or untrue.)

(SIDEBAR: I personally have been against BitCoin ever since HIVE. Recently I watched a documentary - Kenna wasn't in it - and got an entirely different sense about what it was, than before. It improved my perception. I though, am still Gen-X, Brick & Mortar & against all things needing to be hidden (different from protecting your IP).)

His partners; R was abusing his gf. It was the awfulest thing. I was upset by it; not understanding how others there, saw it too & said, did, or felt nothing.
He bragged of Wall Street Riot. (He was engaging in terrorist activities, which is VERY BAD.)

Kenna's other partner S, I inititally appreciated how he carried himself; but he was up & down: a red-flag. He talked about "Acting Troup" (shell company; crime for hire), hacking code, gaming, + referenced laundering through condominiums & farms.
He liked farms best, as he could defraud the gov't by receiving grant funding from non-real numbers.

(I told him he was corrupt & contacted FBI '14 about him. He was hurting women + stealing from others.)
(I did not report his cohorts as they said nothing to me beyond bragging at a party. I saw the writing on the wall & walked away.)

Please know, 2000-13, I reported finances & fraud. '12, Det Gomez said "go deeper" when I wanted to get to bottom of BREACHES. Primary goal was to explore HEALTHY co-living & co-working. Other goal to learn more about Safety, Security, Prevention.

I like to listen. I'm not law enforcement. I absolutely report fraud for my career when it comes up & report crime as a Good Samaritan when able.

My experience at the space the "inner-circle" called "The Hive" was out of curiosity for what made live/work work vs what damaged. I hated most time spent at their location.

I also had Gomez's words in the back of my head "go deeper". The men I interviewed there, did tell me what I needed to know, but it took many years & research, for me to put it together, as they spoke in code, and there is a whole language maintained, both with linguistics & programming. When men referenced violence openly, I left.

They never told me who committed the breach prompting my investigation in the 1st place. (It wasn't them, it was GG.)

Some reached out to me after, even currently, but the thing with Scorpions, is that if you're a frog: DON'T.

Norton LifeLock says thousands of customer accounts breached by TechCrunch

Threat Actors are using various methods, constantly searching for vulnerabilities. They are using marketing techniques, to grow their terrorist groups. They hurt us all.

What is the SWOT Analysis? How can we be protected? How also, can we stop Criminal Threat Actors?

Robert Herjavec stated that their activities, were going to cost us the most, in our current generation. I believe him. If I can make any impact, I'd like these terrorists, behind their computers, to be stopped. How can we join together, to make that happen? (i.e. Part of my research, has been identifying who they are, and I have over two thousand verified names.)

Brain Wave Frequencies

Brain Wave Frequencies:

DELTA (0.1 to 3.5 Hz) The lowest frequencies are delta.

THETA (4-8 Hz) The next brainwave is theta.

ALPHA (8-12 Hz)

BETA (above 12 Hz)

GAMMA (above 30 Hz)

I'm a researcher. I find and report things. This is Alpha.

That translates to my career work as a Financial Contoller & Tax Accounting - now doing taxes for H&R Block. I also do forensics and have reported fraud to government since my career inception. I function the best, in Alpha States. I cannot do my work, well, in Beta. I also cannot have meetings, well, in Alpha.

Beta States, which are generally required for social interaction, are unnatural for me. When I used to public speak, which I love very much, people didn't get, that I was generally more introverted than extroverted, as they perceived me to be confident and engaged, on stage. Being that way, is simply a derivative, of expert consulting. Knowing what I know, in niche areas, and being excited about communicating it with a group of people.

Being introverted/extroverted, sometimes, has nothing to do with other people (in general, not specifically), but instead, can be about the optimium HZ for our brain's functioning. Beta is adaptive, and wears me out. Alpha is my sweet spot. Theta is where I go to dream, imagine, and recharge.

What do you like? Where do you go?

The Path To Return Home 2012 to 2023

07/17/12, my Uncle who has passed, Mervin, visited me, and told me to go home to Ontario. He didn't say Ontario though. He used a term that only he I used. I started preparing. On 12/31/12, I closed 4 investments. By 06/30/13, I closed most of the others. 07/03/13, I started traveling, with two duffles. I was trying to retrace my steps, the travels of the adults, from 1985. I finally found my relatives Q4 2022, and now need to connect with them, and return home.

I told many people I wanted to go home, along the way. It surprised me how many people projected, and interpreted my statements under their own lense. Or should I say, mistinterpreted.

One such Actor, sent me a word document Q4, and he took my 2012 writing, and entirely changed it, which I felt, was rather rude + dangerous intentional fraud. Instead of react, I chose to have the perspective that, "everything is a gift". I ended up doing forensics on that fraud document, and was able to close some loops on a couple open government cases that I was working on. So it was beneficial, for my career, research, and ultimately, bottom line.

Healthy people, know how to make the most complex things, simple.

People that are socially healthy, use a tool in interaction which has to do with matching/mirroring. It's taking what the other said, and stating it back, without adding anything extra. Try it. It's very simple, and the results, can be remarkable.

Perception, receiving, relaying. Where the object or action is placed in the desire.

A word about goals and linguistics.

There is a concept in linguistics, which is about perception, receiving, relaying. Where the object or action is placed.

In French, when a person makes a statement, linguistically it is in process. This is my foundation, and my initial framework from my ancestors. (Gene tests so far are French, Northern European, with childhood of British English & Ojibwe.)

In 2017, I was consulting with a pre-olympian, and he was set-up, but there were things that stopped him. I believe, that he actually was accomplishing what he wanted. And that his resistence, was actually his "cry for help". Only, it was indirect, and that wasn't the framework of the consults, therefore it was both unethical and inappropriate, for me to tell him what I clearly saw.

Step 1 when you want to get out of or over something, is to be honest. You have to know exactly what it is, and say that you want to get to the other side. You do NOT need to know how to get there. Afterall, if you did, you would have. Under that premise, and that very clear honesty, of what you do know, and what it is you don't, is where it all begins. Then you have to commit to the process, and work within a safe container.

That man, he actually was working for a company that was agreggating data without consent, and so he lied to me about what he was really doing. As to what he wanted, he couldn't say it directly either. I could absolutely see it, but back to ethics. The person asking the consultant, has to be specific, and honest.

Next, we had a linguistics problem, which I could recognize, but hadn't dug more deeply into at the time. In my core foundation, me, and my ancestors, we only speak, when things are in progress, otherwise we are silent. His culture, does things differently, and a statement, does NOT mean action in progress. Instead it's just words; objects without verbs. If we had cleared up that difference in linguistics, and explained things differently, we could have bridged the gap. BUT, none of that can ever even begin, unless the foundation is transparent honesty and informed dual consent.

(I'm pretty passionate about ethics, and against ALL people, who have approached me throughout my life, stating they wanted one thing, and lying about their true intent. It's always transparent; sometimes the due diligence just takes a while. I only accept honest, ethical, and lawful people in my reality.)

"Trauma"​ Recall & "Past Lives"​

To add onto prior post re: substances, memory & clarity, here is what I learned, when earning Master's in Therapy, about TRAUMA RECALL & PAST LIVES.

First, I never "believed" in past lives, when talked about. It made no sense to me, until I saw it for myself, over & over, in hundreds of patients. Second, I also didn't "understand" spirit world, from American Culture. I did believe to "each his own". I also believed, "heaven & hell", is what we live, Right Here Right Now. I further believed - don't take offense please, that people confused alegory & mythology, with what was intended for story form, history, and education, with other things (as you know, people who have an agenda, twist things). Now, about people's faiths, if it's not a cult, nor terrorist group, then most faiths, have validity, and good for you.

Here's the thing with Trauma Recall & Past Lives:

#1 I have NEVER met a person, who when in hypnosis, did NOT want to go into their trauma.

I was "against" hypnotherapist practitioners, who did not have at least SOME medical training, because they didn't have the same guidelines in Ethics nor Consent.

You're supposed to ask the patient, if its okay to look at the memory. Then if it's okay to feel it, yes or no. Okay to see it, hear it, etc. OK to re-experience it, or if they want some distance, i.e. movie-screen.

ALL patients, WANTED to go into it. Once they were in Theta, w/ Safe Frames set-up, they ALL had entirely different relationships to the traumatic event & people who caused it. The end result, was a PROFOUND RELAXATION & DEEP HEALING. They returned to Beta, completely transformed. They believed it was intended, necessary. They found acceptance of it, which removed the emotional charge for them. It was more than miraculous. I saw this, over and over and over, throughout my clinical training. (Where Hypnosis was an add-on to Applied Behaviorism & Counseling.) I went to the most expensive school in the world at the time, because I wanted to learn from the best, including my classmates. The students there, I was more than amazed by. They were incredibly accomplished, MFT's PhD's, MD's. Just to sit in a room with them all & soak it up. WOW.

#2 We cannot heal, if we don't remember. I am against, all substances, that impair memory. Stop numbing. People numb for a reason, but it's when we go through things in a supportive container, that we feel light.

I'm lucky to have been around healthy people throughout my life. The majority of any "suffering" I felt, was actually Compassion Fatigue.

(Which is why I prefer Taxes, over Therapy, even though I have a master's and am legally allowed to practice in some states.)

Be healthy everyone. And if you need a referrall, feel free to ask. I know excellent therapist and hypnotherapist former classmates and colleagues, that I trust very much, as well as phenomenal MD's who helped me with high-dose nutrition and sports performance training.
