TECHNOLOGY: SSA goes to two factor authentication

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

BY EMAIL

Interesting that the industry is moving AWAY from cell phones as a form of two factor authentication.

Clearly, there is a spectrum of added risks that may NEGATE this additional control.

# – # – # – # – # 

Starting in August 2016, Social Security is adding a new step to protect your privacy as a my Social Security user.  This new requirement is the result of an executive order for federal agencies to provide more secure authentication for their online services. Any agency that provides online access to a customer’s personal information must use multifactor authentication.

When you sign in at ssa.gov/myaccount with your username and password, we will ask you to add your text-enabled cell phone number.  The purpose of providing your cell phone number is that, each time you log in to your account with your username and password, we will send you a one-time security code you must also enter to log in successfully to your account.

Each time you sign into your account, you will complete two steps:

  • Step 1:  Enter your username and password.
  • Step 2:  Enter the security code we text to your cell phone (cell phone provider’s text message and data rates may apply).

The process of using a one-time security code in addition to a username and password is one form of “multifactor authentication,” which means we are using more than one method to make sure you are the actual owner of your account. 

If you do not have a text-enabled cell phone or you do not wish to provide your cell phone number, you will not be able to access your my Social Security account. 

If you are unable or choose not to use my Social Security, there are other ways you can contact us.  To learn more, please review the Frequently Asked Questions found here.

POLITICAL: The dog that didn’t bark

The Strange Gaps in Hillary Clinton’s Email Traffic
An analysis of the released emails raises questions about whether Clinton deleted a number of work-related emails—and if she did, why.
By Peter Schweizer
July 06, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The media has spent a lot of time parsing through the Clinton emails that already have been released—compiling lists, looking for specific names or discussion of particular issues. But they ought to pay more attention to the holes. Bob Woodward has declared that Hillary Clinton’s email scandal “reminds me of the Nixon tapes.” He’s right. In that case and here, it’s not what’s in the record that’s most troubling. It’s what’s not there.

*** end quote ***

Traffic analysis is a cryptographer’s tool.

In this case, it’s the gaps that indict the Clinton team. Clearly, there are deleted emails. 

What they say is anyone’s guess.

BUT we can be assured they are significant.

Maybe Trump’s right and the Russians could help find them!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The 28 pages indict Saudia Arabia

Ep. 702 The Media Says There’s Nothing to See in the 28 Pages; Here’s What They’re Not Telling You
26th July 2016
Tom Woods

*** begin quote ***

The infamous 28 pages from a joint congressional intelligence inquiry regarding 9/11 were finally declassified, and the media told us there was nothing to see in them. Not true. Award-winning reporter Larisa Alexandrovna joins me for the real story.

About the GuestLarisa Alexandrovna is a journalist, essayist, and poet. She contributes pieces to many online publications including AntiWar.com.

*** and ***

Why is Saudi Arabia a US “ally”?

*** end quote ***

This exposure of the details on 9/11 certainly cast a troubling light on the Bush Family, Bandar “Bush”, and Saudi Arabia Gooferment.

Why attack Iraq and not Saudi Arabi?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” is not legitimate

Sunday, July 31, 2016

Beware of the $2 Drug Test that Could Cost You Everything
By Laurence M. Vance
July 26, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Since it is neither constitutional nor a legitimate purpose of the U.S. government to prohibit, regulate, restrict, license, limit, or otherwise control what any adult American wants to smoke, snort, sniff, inject, or swallow, it follows, as the night the day, that there should be no laws whatsoever concerning the buying, selling, possessing, using, or processing of cocaine in any form for any reason—or any other any drug for that matter.

*** end quote ***

Why did we need a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit alcohol, but not to prohibit “drugs”?

It’s a simple question.

Argh!

TINFOILHAT: Was Amelia Earhart killed by the Japanese for spying?

Saturday, July 30, 2016

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Amelia_Earhart

Amelia Earhart   

Real Name: Amelia Earhart
Case: Disappearance
Date: July 2, 1937
Location: Howland Island

*** begin quote ***

In October 2014, the piece of aluminum mentioned above, was shown, by precision photographic processes, with accuracy comparable to a finger print, to be that object mentioned. If this is correct, it changes the list of possible sources of Amelia’s disappearance and would totally eliminate the crash and sink theory. It would also disprove the “crashed in the Marshall Islands” theory. It would prove that the Koshu was on Nikumaroro for a while, but was then taken to Jaluit Island with Amelia and Fred on board, and with the Electra attached to Its stern. That is why the search planes never saw them or the plane. They did see “some kind of markers”, probably supports, used to load the Electra. At Jaluit Fred was treated by Bilamon Amaron. They were then, starting on July19, taken to Saipan and locked in, Garapan jail as spies. They did not crash in the Marshalls but were taken there, arriving at Jaluit Island Navy base on July 13, ten days after they went missing. They were never in “two places at the same time!” a statement which had been used to claim that all of the numerous incidents about Amelia in the Marshall Islands and Saipan were false. This information was referenced in “Earhart and Noonan: the Missing Link” by Duane Hamblin.

Argh!

Was this “covered up” by both the Japanese and US Gooferments?

ECONOMICS: What will trigger an “Economic Depression”?

Friday, July 29, 2016

America Needs a Good, Old-Fashioned Economic Depression
By Jay Zawatsky The National Interest
July 25, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Yes, central bankers can print currency units, but not food, energy or other commodities necessary for sustaining life. As basic commodities become more scarce or are priced out of the reach of average folks, wars, riots, rebellions, diseases and repressive governments will result. All of this human suffering will be the progeny of ZIRP, QE, and NIRP, which in turn are the progeny of the replacement of the gold standard by the Ph.D. standard.

*** end quote ***

If we stipulate that this is good “economic medicine” and central banks have no incentive to stop “printing currency units”, then what is the trigger for a depression? Or what is the recognition factor that wakes up “We, The Sheeple” to the reality of one big ugly “economic” chicken coming home to roost.

In Venezuela, it had to be the unavailability of toilet paper at any price.

What will it be here in the USA? 

Since “printing the currency units” will lead to inflation, it’s important to hide that fact from “We, The Sheeple”.

But sooner of later, the inputs to production will be bid up and that has to be reflect in the price to the end consumer. At some point, the outputs can not be produced for a profit and compensate for the risk involved.

So when the shelfs begin to be missing “stuff”, that’s the trigger.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3704249/MH370-pilot-practised-suicide-route-Indian-Ocean.html

MH370 pilot ‘practised flying suicide mission on flight simulator weeks before the airliner disappeared on same route’ (So why are we just hearing about it?)

  • MH370 vanished during a flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur back in 2014 
  • Pilot Zaharie Shah practised crashing into the Indian Ocean on a simulator
  • The simulated route was similar to the one the plane took before vanishing 
  • Officials admit that the likelihood of recovering the doomed plane is fading

Wow, this is a factoid that should have come out sooner. Wasn’t the flight simulator monitored? Pretty strange behavior.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The FBI Declared Mass Killer Mateen “NOT” a Terrorist

Wednesday, July 27, 2016

FROM JUDICIAL WATCH’s EMAIL

*** begin quote ***

The FBI Declared Mass Killer Mateen “NOT” a Terrorist

This week we released previously undisclosed documents from the St. Lucie, Florida, Sheriff’s Department revealing that the FBI informed the sheriff’s office in late 2013 that Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people in a nightclub in Orlando, was “NOT” a terrorist and was no threat to “go postal.”  [Emphasis in original]  Remember this the next time you hear the media or a DC politician heap praise on the supposed expertise of the FBI.

*** end quote ***

Guess they were wrong about about that!

What other mistakes have they made?

Argh!

MONEY: States have to protect us against Currency Debasement, but will they?

Four Ways States Can Take on the Federal Reserve

*** begin quote ***

There are practical steps that can be taken at the state level to promote the use and acceptance of sound money and undermine the Fed’s monopoly on money.

Control the money and you control the people.

The federal government has done just that in the Unites States.

*** and ***

1. States Have the Ability to Defend Sound Money

2. Recognizing Gold and Silver as Legal Tender

3. Eliminating Sales Taxes and Capital Gains Taxes on the Exchange of Money

4. Establishing State Depositories and Money Exchange Systems outside the Clutches of Federal Bureaucrats

5. Enforcing Private “Gold Clause” Contracts to Protect against Currency Debasement

*** end quote ***

Now where do we find State politicians and bureaucrats that will fight for freedom and liberty?

MONEY: Fed-exit — secession from central banking

Monday, July 25, 2016

https://mises.org/blog/don%E2%80%99t-reform-fed-exit-fed

Don’t Reform the Fed: Exit the Fed
07/18/2016
Ron Paul

*** begin quote ***

Opponents of a central bank should take advantage of the post-Brexit vote revival of secessionist sentiments to promote a secession from central banking, or “Fed-exit.” Ending the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money is the key to restoring and maintaining our liberty and prosperity.

By manipulating the money supply to fix interest rates, the Federal Reserve engages in price fixing. After all, interest rates are nothing more than the price of money. Like all prices, they communicate information about economic conditions to market actors. Federal Reserve attempts to override the market rate of interest with a Fed-favored rate distort the price signals sent to businesses, investors, and consumers. The result of this distortion is a Fed-created boom, followed by a Fed-created bust.

The Fed’s action affects the entire economy and impacts the lives of all Americans, as well as of people around the world. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the attempt to fix interest rates is the most harmful example of price fixing.

*** end quote ***

Clearly, having “honest money” — 

“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110

   — is key to returning to freedom and liberty.

How can you keep score, store wealth for the future, or just know where you are financially.
