There
Are Good Somebodies Out There.

To most,
the closing of our embassies in the Middle East and Africa is just a run of the
mill government reaction to distract the American people from the at home issues. It is and it is not.
For
individuals to state that Al-Qaeda is on the run and America and its allies are
in control is insanity! Like a red rag
to a bull, making those type of pathetic statements is causing the terroristic
issues against the western world increase.
Let us be
clear, people who hate us are alive, well and planning our demise on a minute
by minute basis.
For a
moment, stop thinking global attacks, just look at what we are doing to each
other via social media. Bullying, which
terrorism is the extreme version of is being seen in all avenues of life, school,
workplace and the home among siblings.
Let’s face
it, we don’t seem to have a good word for anyone!
Any time
someone can get that dig in, or slight someone just to be nasty, they
will. The Internet is the perfect
example, as many believe every single thing that is written of course is
true. Believe you me, there are sadistic
bastards out there who write the most ridiculous lies and statements, which are
so far from the truth just to be nasty.
You can see them wringing their hands as they type this crap.
There are
Twitter and Facebook Trolls who are
attacking people they do not know and are basically sick minded morons. They have no idea how
people who are being attacked in this manner are reacting and what it does to
their lives. I know, the old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but
names will never hurt me”. Sadly
they do!
The Daily
Mail reported: Internet attacks have dominated the news in the past week as a
number of high-profile women have been on the receiving end of vicious
trolling. They have been subjected to a litany of lewd sexual suggestions, as
well as threats of rape and murder.
Writer and
feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez was threatened on Twitter following
her success in lobbying to have Jane Austen put on the new £10 note. Then,
Labour MP Stella Creasy was subjected to similar abuse after intervening in the
debate.
Shortly
afterwards, academic and television historian Mary Beard outed Oliver Rawlings
– a privately educated 20-year-old – to her 44,000 Twitter followers after he
called her a ‘filthy old sl*t’ on the micro-blogging site.
Before
long, several female journalists who had written about the trolling received
tweets saying that bombs had been planted outside their homes.
Now Melissa
is speaking out about the abuse people are suffering from cyber-bullies. ‘Bullying
hurts no matter how strong, thick-skinned, brave or articulate you are,’ she
adds. ‘I know I’m not a kidnapper or a prostitute and don’t think I deserve to
be dead. But some days I just don’t have the energy to deal with this.
‘Public
bullying has widespread implications that affect whole circles of loved ones,
not just the individual. That’s why it’s so serious.
Twitter
yesterday agreed to introduce the measure and UK boss Tony Wang promised to do
more to tackle the abuse, which he called ‘simply not acceptable’.
‘Lawyers, judges,
the police, and Twitter all need to become more responsible and more
responsive,’ Melissa says.
‘If you’re
a cyber-bully there should be some sort of online “badge” so you’re easily
identifiable. It’s not OK to be an invisible person behind a computer screen
and expect there to be no repercussions.
‘Of course
there are levels. Being able to express opinions is one of the great things
about Twitter. But to go from “I don’t like your view” to “I’m going to find
you and rape you”?’
‘Commercially,
Twitter is fabulous,’ she says. ‘I use it for information-gathering and it’s a
great resource, but it’s also a public platform with a social responsibility.
‘What I
have learnt from all this is that cyber-bullying can happen to anybody, but
everybody can rise above it. This experience has made me stronger, more
discerning and a better person. In no way is this a victory for the trolls.’
So where do
stand on this? Simple, we stand our
ground and do not give the bully’s any merit in the social media. They have no testicular fortitude whatsoever.
On
terrorists who wish to harm us physically, we take as much notice and defend
ourselves. It is the proactivity of
others who are protecting your interest and we must listen, even if the politicians
are not telling us all the details.
Right now
by broadcasting the so called Intel threats is showing that Al Qaeda is still
alive, well and lethal in winning the war against us. Terror is rampant and the leaks of the
threats harms us all. This information
should have been kept close to our chest and dealt with. Politicians have no idea of the background to
releasing this information and do more harm than good.
We do! You
will never see us share the Intel we collect with the public, our clients are well
informed to be the proactive professionals that they are.
There Are Good
Somebodies Out There…
WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
