St. George’s Day. Dragon Slayers R’US, Whilst Hackers Live!

St. George’s day.  Dragon Slayers r’US, 
Whilst Hackers Live!
By Nicholas Ashton, RFUSION

Yes, Great Britain is celebrating St. George’s Day still!

St. George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and part of the British flag. St George's emblem was adopted by Richard the Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century. The king's soldiers wore it on their tunics to avoid confusion in battle.

Hang on, are there not more important things to be protected than slaying dragons?  Of course, there are!  Most Brits have no earthly idea who George, is, expect and a young prince dragging his parents around Australasia, patting bunnies.

I bet most of them do not know that Shakespeare was born on 23 April 1564 and he died on the same day in 1616.  Which was thoughtful of him!

I think we have a hacker and phishers that need slaying in a concerted enough from us all… 

It seems there are two corners that are playing opposite ends of the park, the IT what’ it’s, who do nothing than talk about it and they still do nothing.  They did not create the solution, so they pick it apart, trying to come up with an excuse on why it will not work and how it should Beta tested until 2050.

In the other corners are the CEO’s and Board Members who are warned, ignore and have no earthly idea what these computer attacks are all about and look like three monkeys in suits.  

Sorry, ignorance is not an excuse when you put mere mortals through hell and back, when their bank account is lifted, monies were stolen, their personal information going and being sold and used by computer terrorists.

This third group watches on, the public, that gets affected the most, the General Public, us!  We bear the brunt of inept management who pretend there are no computer issues and turn the other cheek.  In fact, they are just showing their ass to what they think of us.

Stop Being REACTIVE!  

Start Being PROACTIVE, NOW!

Look, St. George was but one man and he slew dragons, collective, we can stop these low life hackers, phishers, and man in the middle brutal attackers.

It is about responsibility from all.

The Art of Conversation, But Are You Listening?


The Art of Conversation 

"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow-creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." William Penn

Death is guaranteed, what happens between your birth and that final event is in your parents and ultimately your hands, through your own actions.  In life, there are some folks who will never make into their teens, let alone midlife.  The statistics are stacked against them.  Stats, analytics, facts, people, computers, digital assistants, and daily events are in my life and I work hard at it to make good by the end of the day. 

When your day starts at 4 a.m. and before your first cup of coffee, you are absorbing the events that occurred whilst you lightly slept, with a set of rules to have the information in your mind, ears, and eyes, and allows you to be on top of it all.  I love facts, how they affect us all, and what we can do when we armed with the right and useful information.  This is my life, my love, and is my station in life.  The Passion of the moment to make the change for the betterment of all.

Sure, we have a successful business that is the result of a hard disciplined working regimen and experience, like our Pied Piper Project, which is the result of wanting to make a change because of what is going on right in front of our eyes.  This has been built, proven, and enhanced to save communities and those that reside within.

This of course os CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner in social media monitoring (knowing what the bad guys are up to in detail, pictures and video and their connections), crime analytics, community crime mapping, and predictive analysis.

Our social and community goal is a simple one; we are transforming our nation, one community at a time. Neighborhoods once were the social center of our worlds.  The place we came home to, had pride in how it looked.  Behind those doors was us, how we live, and the collection of our lives, our family and the preparation for our futures.

Some of us are here to fan the peaceful flames and stir up the special gift within us and lead others to do the same. We are a group of companies that is a catalyst for positive change by sharing both our knowledge in business and community activism; bottom line, we want to get back to the basic fundamentals of truth, respect, and pride to society.

Developing a culture based on honesty. The means to do this is simple, there is zero-tolerance for those who repeatedly break the rules and scoff the laws.  Identifying these individuals is giving the down-home truths from their families, law enforcement, and an intervention that gives them one more chance before the book is thrown at them and the door locked firmly behind their sorry rear ends.

We are in the business of creating a culture based on man and woman's humanity to our fellow citizens; no matter what color, class, or creed, doing what is right. Creating a paradigm shift with the people in a community to think and in a deservedly different and productive manner. Replacing violence with peaceful measures to raise self-esteem and give the local citizen a chance to gain skills in a positive environment.  Time is the worst enemy when you have nothing positive to complete on a daily basis.  Like a sheepdog who is brought into a home to live, you must give it tasks to accomplish or it will do a little destruction, which, to the sheepdog, only plays and passing the time.

I am not one to quote the Bible, the line, “they know not what they do” from King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) 

“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”


The youth seem to think that the “money tree’ is real!  They give the impression that people (government) must pay me for doing nothing, letting me sit on my rear end and be at my beck and call.  Right?  WRONG! This entitlement attitude is going nowhere and so are those that state this foolish message and believe it.

Respecting one’s self, each other, and the societal environment by the means of re-training, social skills, employment opportunities, and someone taking an interest directly and not just giving political lip service.

It is organizations who are working with, assisting with these organizations/facilities, not changing its social structure but adding positively and merely improving on it, in order to instill in the local people that have the ability to utilize it, improving their chances to earn a living, be someone and earn respect for doing the right thing in their lives.

How; by providing training, creating jobs, forming a local inner business to aide both the residents within the community and the focal facility. There is no crime in making money and creating jobs by a positive social means. The only crime is to continue the business, as usual, a turn of the blind eye on what is really going on. That is, adults and children relying on their next meal or check from the government, stealing, dealing drugs, and the violence that accompanies this deluded culture. You have been fighting the good fight for which we applaud but more must be done in a cohesive manner for radical positive change or, as fast we ignore the situation, it will collapse and rescue will never occur.

So how can we assist and who do we need to look upon:
  • Leadership, innovation, and management 
  • Retired Mentors and VETS who will provide both wisdom expertise and skills training
  • Utilizing assets already at facilities that are not being used 
  • Partnering with local business to form a working coalition 
  • Partnering with local law enforcement to form a network of accountability and communication on both sides
  • Working with government on a local, city, and state level to make all viable resources available without dependency, in fact moving to full self-sufficiency as quickly as possible is essential


I could go on; I believe in what both organizations are doing and doing to the best of your ability as of today and well done. Sadly, it is far from enough, we must not fool each other that it is working to the success for all at this time.  It is a moving target and being stationery will miss the opportunity and the results that are demanded.

Let's not stop, though, let's work together and go where our higher power leads us; some may say, THE PROMISE LAND. We, as a company and our passionate team nationwide, are willing to walk beside you in this journey; importantly, are you willing to allow us?

I do not want to say, NEXT, and move on and watch the continuing thunderous decline of society, the death of young people that had a chance to change and make that difference that they want and we know we can genuinely assist with for them to achieve.  I do not want their blood on my hands!

Entrical has a proven business model for growth and success; remember the parable when HE gave 3 equal shares of silver, one spent his, one buried his and one invested and prospered. Whom did he say "Well done my good and faithful son?"

Being Stewards of Faith, your work is never ever done.  All things on earth can be improved upon. We will be rewarded and have true rest in our eternal resting place; Heaven.  No matter what faith you are, there is but one God, who is looking to us to make the change, it is how we handle the adversity in our lives and we all know how much there is and why we have to make the efforts now!  It is the Power of Faith and Works.

Our intent is not to create a power play; with anyone, there is enough conflict without starting our own.  We are looking to partner with a positive entity to do well, it is that plain, simple, and the facts.  Stop looking at this as someone wants to take over what we are doing, we do not.  This a hand reaching out to extend what you already have in place and improving on the environment, without changing the message or leadership.

We are more than willing to work beside you in a quest to build families, develop self-worth, and create commerce and jobs within your own community.  The merry go round of alcoholism, drug addiction, wife and child abuse (domestic violence), and severe violent crimes must and will be reduced and come to an end. We provide solutions to help deter this activity.  It is approaching from a different, positive, and proven direction that will and does make the difference.  No one can do this alone and nor should they!

Attending a Town Hall meeting 2/20/2013 at the Eastern Star Church in the 46218 zip code, the most crime-ridden violent zip code in Indianapolis, Indiana. The theme of the event was providing solutions. I spoke and the people listened and responded. We passed out 46 of the 50 business cards that were brought for distribution. Over half of those that were given cards reached out the next day via email or phone calls, in regard to coming alongside us and their organization to create positive and needed change. 

The pure bottom line, we see the potential you have, the foundation is in place, now let’s build a mansion of results-driven by mentors, local businesses, and local government.

We merely want to direct and come along for the quality ride, learn, and create a model of success to grow and develop this community in this city, state, and nation. 

It all starts with Trust, Respect, and Pride.

We have the means and know-how to take this desperately needed change with your organizations to the next level and beyond for the good of the communities in need.

Complacency and Political Correctness - The FEAR FACTOR & the NEEDED COMFORT ZONE

Complacency and Political Correctness
The FEAR FACTOR & the NEEDED COMFORT ZONE

This has and will be an angry period in American history.  Taking but one life is a tragedy, taking lives daily and attempting to kill innocent citizens and law enforcement is reprehensible.  It is beyond shock and awe!

I have professionally experienced terrorism since the sixties and seventies, the bomb, bullet, and the knife.  Nothing of the magnitude we are witnessing on a seemingly daily basis is a comprehensive action. 

Among us are more than evil people.  Which for many reasons have issues, mental, political, and downright vindictive nut jobs who should be off the streets and in the non-existent mental institutions or prison.  Then there are the Islamist terrorists who have been radicalized by those we allow to have this 'freedom of speech'!  Domestic terror is so bad, look at the number of shooting just this July Fourth weekend!

Our prisons are breeding grounds for criminals, who, are serving sentences and being educated by lowlifes who are teaching them better ways to steal, rape, murder and commit a crime against fellow mankind.  Prisons are crime universities and our society is allowing this to continue without restriction.  It is a political and managerial problem that has been allowed to fester in front of our eyes.

Religious practices have gone to extremes on all levels.  Daily indoctrination, no matter what faith is radical!  The Chinese used the same techniques when Mao Tse-tung, who dominated the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1959 used his Little Red Book.


Our world has changed for the worst and terrorist has taken on more than an ugly facade.

Planned domestic attacks against the police and the increased violence globally transpire and we Monday Morning Quarterback the events. The truth is we are ignoring the solid facts and hiding the reality of the social changes which dominate our lives.

Ideology and culture ignorance that is being built against us and allowed by a society who wish to stay silent whilst the blood runs down the drains of our streets. It must and will change!

Yes, white evil megalomaniacs kill too!  Las Vegas proves that point and no matter how we tear this event apart, we shall never know the true reason for his evil attack on Americans.

Complacency and Political Correctness has no place in our society!

It is time, right now to "See Something, Say Something'!

Corporately, what are you doing in your company to understand your employees and even yourself?

The reality of doing nothing is seen in our headlines daily. The events of the early hours each morning will continue if we ignore the sickness among us. 

Law enforcement and the public are only a part of the unsocial jigsaw puzzle. 

Under the Peelian Principles, 'The People are the Police and Police are the People'. It was good enough when policing was invented in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel and his Nine Peelian Principles stand firm today.  It is just we are all lost and not seeing the bigger picture.

The worst mass shooting, stabbing or vehicle attacks will not go away overnight and new measures are required to get society back on track.  

Complacency must be GONE!  

This crazy P.C. Society must wake up and see the bigger picture.  

TRUST and Respect have almost GONE!

There is a simple answer and must be accepted, especially by all politicians.  Let the 'real' experts put in place the necessary steps to bring us all back on all levels.

Active Shooter and Violent Protest Management MUST CHANGE!  

There are better methods that can be implemented.  That is what WE DO!

As we grieve and reflect, we stand firm, listen, and act, the Comfort Zone will return...

Memorial Day Weekend, It is Not Just An Excuse To Party!

It is Not Just An Excuse To party!
By Nicholas Ashton, Executive Vice President, Entrical

The truth of the matter is simple, Corporate America and as families, like most communities, treats this Memorial weekend no differently to any other.  Burgers, Beer, Hot Dogs, false friends, and family you cannot stand. 

With COVID-19 you should be 'Social Distancing' and you are not!  Foolishly you play with your lives and those of others.

You think of it as an excuse to party and goof off.  Just like the way business is being conducted every day of the week, the lack of responsibility and honor. 

It is Memorial Day  and you have time to Google it and find out the way you need to change your ways.  Others before you believed that this country meant something and they served and laid down their lives. 

They died for you and you have No Respect whatsoever!

It is not too late!  

Honor them and take a leaf from the immense book they left behind!

Wear a MASK and Keep YOUR Distance or be a KILLER!

WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…

Iranian Terrorist? The Ideology & Cultural Differences

Iranian Terrorist?
The Ideology & Cultural Differences
So who do we trust?  No one! 
by Nicholas Ashton, EVP, Entrical


This graphic is how radical Islamic Terrorists spread their words and incite!

The fear of the Lone Wolf or Wolf Pack has returned and did not use technology, a pure crude 'bucket bomb.'  Proving that basic methods are effective in spreading terror.  

Some Knew Something and Need To Come Forward!

Today, terrorism went to yet another level of a possible Wolf Pack attack.  It can happen anywhere at any time to members of our global society.  

Even domestic violence as in London with gang stabbings or the racist and anti-Semitic attacks in the USA.  People were attacked in the heart of the global.

After the killing of the Iran Terror Leader this morning, all Public Safety departments worldwide will be analyzing the situation and the concerning content of this needed action and the possible reprisal attacks and their far-reaching ramifications.

A little background, terrorism on the streets is relatively new in this manner, and Muslim terrorism against the West did not only occurred with the New York City attack on the World Trade Center.  It goes back much further and more profound.

Since the 16th century, there has been a sectarian conflict of varying intensity between Roman Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. This religious sectarianism is connected to a degree with nationalism. Northern Ireland has seen inter-communal strife for more than four centuries, and there are records of sacred ministers or clerics, the agents for absentee landlords, aspiring politicians, and members of the landed gentry stirring up and capitalizing on sectarian hatred and violence back as far as the late 18th century.

William Edward Hartpole Lecky, an Irish historian, wrote: "If the characteristic mark of a healthy Christianity is to unite its members by a bond of fraternity and love, then there is no country where Christianity has more completely failed than Ireland."

Reactions to sectarian domination and abuse have resulted in accusations of sectarianism being leveled against the minority community. It has been argued, however, that those reactions would be better understood in terms of a struggle against the bigotry that governs relations between the two communities and which has resulted in the denial of human rights to the minority community.

The period from 1969 to 2002 is known as "The Troubles." Nearly all the people living in Northern Ireland identified themselves as belonging to either the Protestant or the Catholic community. People of no religion and non-Christian faiths are still considered as belonging to one of the two "sects" along with churchgoers. In this context, "Protestants" means permanently descendants of immigrants from Scotland and England settled in Ulster during or soon after the 1690s, also known as "Loyalists" or "Unionists" because they generally support the status of Northern Ireland politically as a part of the United Kingdom. "Catholics" means descendants of the pre-1690 indigenous Irish population, also known as "Nationalist" and "Republicans,"; who generally politically favor a united Ireland.

Sectarian violence between the two major sects of Islam, Shia, and Sunni, has occurred in countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Lebanon, etc. This violent conflict has roots in the political turmoil arising out of differences over the succession to Muhammad. Abu Bakr, a companion of Muhammad, was nominated by Umar and elected as the first Sunni Rightly Guided Caliph. 

However, another group felt that Ali, the cousin, and son-in-law of Muhammad, had been designated by Muhammad and is considered by Shia as the first Imam.

Abu Bakr was followed by Umar as caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, then by Uthman ibn Affan and finally by Ali. Ali's right to rule was challenged by Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan, governor of Syria, who believed that Ali should have acted faster against the murderers of Uthman. The situation deteriorated further when many of those responsible for the death of Uthman rallied behind Ali. 

However, later on, both the parties agreed to have someone as a judge between them. This led to the separation of an extremist group known as Kharijites from Ali's army, which pronounced the judgment that belonged to God alone. A member of this group later assassinated Ali. At the demise of Muawiyah, he appointed his son Yazid as his successor. The credentials of Yazid were challenged by Ali's son Hussein ibn Ali (and grandson of Muhammad). A battle of Karbala in Iraq led to the martyrdom of Hussein and dozens of others from Ahl al-Bayt (the members of the family of Muhammad).

This tragic incident created deep fissures in the Muslim society. The conflict that had started at a political plane intervened with the dogma and belief systems.

Those who considered Ali to be the true heir to the Caliphate split away from the main corpus of Muslim society and traditions. They developed their distinct sect, known as "Shia," referring to Shian-e-Ali. The majority of Muslims are known as "Sunni," meaning "followers of the Traditions of The Prophet. " They are of the view that the bloody conflict between Ali and Muawiyah was a result of a tragic misunderstanding, and regardless of who was wrong, the matter should have been solved peacefully.

Most probably the first real view of the issues and how you must understand the background.

The Talk of War - You Don’t Want Your Bollocks Shot Away!

You Don’t Want Your Bollocks Shot Away!

Remember, we do have a committed President in Donald Trump, who has been in office for over three years!

Sadly the old failed administration is still in Democrat's minds and will not go away.

The headline everywhere is terror. 

Where is it happening?  Iraq and the Middle-East most Americans cannot even find it on a map or even Hoboken, New Jersey for that matter.

What are these warmongering Iran who are trying to sell and start a war, what are they really trying to tell us?  6,537 km between the two countries and more important issues on America’s own doorstep as we are seeing in the news over the past few days!  Including Impeachment, over what?

A race card is being played into this issue still has Obama as a first Black President and those that supported him, in voting in the first place, still do not want to let him down or shame him!  It was Obama who shamed America!

Total Baloney! 

It is business as usual for this former Democratic administration, failing in the past in planning strategies and the long-range picture.  Remember now-defunct Obama Care and his Bailout Bills, total failures beyond belief.

The strategy of War is a fluid program with planning for all eventualities.  John Kerry had not one inkling on this whatsoever and was and is a total lying mouthpiece for the former Obama Administration and his failed structure of an attack and the ramifications.

The true concern is beyond Syria, Iran is fueling all, and terrorism is a growth factor because of Iran’s involvement.  There is the issue and every military man knows that!

Now, look at North Korea after the Trump meeting, are they going to comply?

Shall we start singing “Oh What a Lovely War”?  No, we shall not…

America has more pressing issues at home, poverty, education, racism, murder rate, drug use, border issues and the pure catastrophe of society.


I don't want me bollocks shot away…

For Whom The Bell Tolls?

For Whom The Bell Tolls?
By Nicholas Ashton, CEO, CommSmart Global Group

Who will blow up the bridge, shoot down a drone or attack neighboring countries this time? 

Iran is certainly at the top of the list after the threats made against the USA.


Iran has threatened to attack the White House in response to President Donald Trump's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation. 

Iran has a President, who is no different from those he has followed, the same culture, and ideology.

Even secure airports are under attack and what we are able to carry on planes! 

France has seen more terrorist attacks and the individual was on their watch- list, which it seems they forgot and just continued on their way.  Just like making a list for grocery shopping and going to the store and realizing you left it at home.  What you do then, is muddled through and miss several items.

The fact is no one is listening to what is going on in the world regarding the citizens of the nations who are in turmoil, regarding their politicians and leaders!

It is the chatter and associated writings of the people, which is leading to the dissension that is reverberating our world.

No matter if you are a corporation or a world government, knowledge is power and you can attain knowledge by understanding what the concerns of all are. 

People have voices and use them to spread their concerns, wants and needs.

Let us remind you that the Shah of Iran was deposed, Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavī was the last Shah of Iran from 16 September 1941 until his overthrow by the Iranian Revolution on 11 February 1979.

Several factors contributed to strong opposition to Pahlavi among certain groups within Iran, the most notable of which were U.S. and UK support for his regime, clashes with Islamists, and increased communist activity.

By 1979, political unrest had transformed into a revolution which, on 17 January, forced Pahlavi to leave Iran. Soon thereafter, the Iranian monarchy was formally abolished, and Iran was declared an Islamic republic led by Ayatollah Khomeini. Facing likely execution should he return to Iran, he died in exile in Egypt, whose President, Anwar Sadat, had granted him asylum.

Ayatollah Khomeini's overthrow was completed by audio cassette tapes of his sermons given whilst in exile in Paris, France.  A world leader was not listening and suffered the consequences as they still do today.

We are not learning from history and as you know, history does repeat itself. 

The Arab world is teetering on the edge of even more discourse and needs more understanding of how Atmospheric Noise Collection, Chatter on the Streets and why it assists all in resolving.

It is not just the words of the people, it is their actions, which are revealed in violent actions against what they believe are the oppressors.  Even in the USA, the L.A. riots wrecked their own neighborhoods, doing more harm to themselves.  London suffered the same aggression last year.  In the end, it is the stability of communities, regions, cities, and nations that are at risk.

Prior knowledge is real power, timely information gathering can stop these senseless actions.  No one likes problems creeping upon them, as the initial reaction is one of those, spur of the moment decisions that we all regret.

CommSmart Global Group makes the difference in the timing of events, in fact, with our means of chatter collection, predictive plans can be made with full knowledge.
