My friend heard some chatter on the Dark Web, & stockpiling guns, they're gearing up.

A friend of mine, who is into this sort of thing, he's a computer nerd, a hacker actually from MIT, told me he heard some chatter on the Dark Web.

Chatter? Monkeys are the only creatures that I know that chatter. The Dark Web? Is that the web of a Black Widow spider?

"Chatter? The Dark Web? What the Hell is that?"

I looked at him confused.

"You don't want to know," he said.

He gave me a smug smile.

"You watch too much Black List and Scandal," I said waving a hand of skepticism.

His face was full of solemness as if someone we knew had just died.

"I wish it was fiction but it's today's reality," he said slowly nodding his head.

He was scaring me but, by making light of it, I pretended that he wasn't.

"Is the Dark Web a place on the internet like space where it's dark all the time and there's no light?"

He looked at me in the way he looks at me when he asks me to jump up and down because he wants to see something. Yeah, he wants to see my tits bounce.

'Duh, I'm not that stupid.'

"It's not dark because there's no lights. There are plenty of lights on in the Dark Web. The Dark Web is a place where people go to be...illuminated. On the Dark Web, they see all and know all. If the Devil had a web site, the Dark Web would be it."

I couldn't help but wonder where God's web site was. Probably some place where you're asked to donate money.

"Illuminated?"

*****

Anyway, he said that there are militias throughout the country in Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Wyoming, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and that they're gearing up. He said they're stockpiling lots of weapons and that they're fed up with the way that the government is run, or not run, actually. He said that if ISIS or anyone else invades the country, they're ready.

Dark Web? Gearing up? Tired of our government? ISIS? What the Hell is happening? Is this the start of World War III?

Does anyone know what he's talking about? What do I know? I just write erotic stories. I only know what I create in my head. I'm just a dumb blonde.

Does anyone know what the Dark Web is and how to access it. Maybe I can find a pair of shoes on the Dark Web sale for Black Friday.

Your friend is not looking in the right place.

No one is going to invade the US.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

However it is true that both the Republican and the Democrat administrations, when each was in office, siphoned off hundreds of billions from Disability Services budgets by pretending to give jobs in the weapons industries to people who could barely be classed as 'disabled' or who were not disabled at all, steering the money away from actual disabled people in order to steal it and line their own pockets.

I'm not sure why 'ISIS' would want to invade the US...

Unless for some reason they were ordered to by Washington, which created it, funds it, and commands it alongside other 'Jihadi Engaged Warriors;' if you know what I mean.

Drawing an 'all-seeing eye' on the floor at the Bataclan, supposedly in the blood of victims shot by an acoustic device that sounded like a gun, though certainly not an AK47 (for those who have actually been close to one and/or seen one actually shoot at someone or something - and I have), was about as insulting to the intelligence of people around the world as anything I have ever come across personally or ever read in history books - and frankly, it's all a bit of a sick shame, really.

So yeah... I guess ordinary citizens are entitled to start weaponizing themselves ASAP. Just in case Potter's House turns up with some supposed hillbilly band doing 'who'll kiss the devil on his rump' to the tune of Hava Nagila, in their neighbourhood.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Let me tell you something about an AK-47 and what it will do, and how much blood pumps through the veins of people jumpin' around on a dance floor.

1. you'll be spending till next month putting all the concrete back in the walls
2. you'll be doing that while wading literally in a swamp of blood
3. 1000 pints plus of blood, skulls, flesh and bones splattered EVERYWHERE - will not be making it onto 'social media' no matter how much you photoshop things into the 'pre-concert image' of the audience in that tiny enclosed private clubhouse.

 

[SusanJillParker]

Your friend is not looking in the right place.

No one is going to invade the US.

Being that he's into computers big time and graduated from the Massachusetts of Technology and returned to earn his Master's degree, I tend to believe whatever he tells me about what he hears and reads on the Dark Web.

Besides, ISIS cells are already here. One could be in your house right now and you wouldn't even know it.

"Son, what are you doing?"

With her son standing behind her and pressed against her, his mother stood in the kitchen with her arms over her head.

"I'm just checking you for a suicide bomb vest before we have supper," he said taking his time while feeling his mother's big breasts.

She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Must we do this at every meal?"

He nodded what was required of him to do to feel safe.

"Assume the position," he said.

His mother turned, put her palms on the wall and leaned forward.

"As if he was a TSA agent of a prison guard, he ran both hand up his mother's legs while feeling her panty clad ass and cotton clad pussy for illegal contraband.

This should be moved to the political forum.

This should be moved to the political forum.

Just more "hey look at me" to disrupt the AH.

More theater of the mind.

 

[AH_Mod]

Political threads that will be moved include those related to elected officials, candidates, or elections.

When the thread immediately below this one is a long-running climate change thread, which was bumped hours earlier and has not been reported, that tells me this is about the member, rather than the subject matter. Threads started by members you don't wish to read are easily removed from your personal view by the ignore function.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Web

The Dark Web, also confusingly referred to as the Deep Web and conflated with Deep Web search is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets, overlay networks which use the public Internet but which require specific software, configurations or authorization to access.[4] The Dark Web forms a small part of the Deep Web, the part of the Web not indexed by search engines.]

The darknets which constitute the Dark Web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks like Freenet, I2P, and Tor, operated by public organizations and individuals.

**Back in 2k I started using P2P GNUnetwork. I posted bin Laden's FBI Wanted poster with reward as soon as it came out. I got downloads from Pakistan and the Russian Federation. Considering WWW and internet in 2001/2 I may have been one of the first to get that bit of news to Pakistan. Hey! Maybe he read it himself first time from me?! Nawwww!**

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/3092/how-can-i-access-the-deep-dark-web

Accessing the dark Web requires special software, special passwords, or both. The worst-kept secret of the dark Web is Tor, originally an acronym for “The Onion Router.” Building on research originally carried out by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the Tor Project became a community effort to design a way for anyone to communicate online without their location or identity being traceable. Most agree the Tor Project was originally created to ensure free expression without fear of government snooping and interference. The reality is when you get a bunch of people together (not all of them notably mature) and give them complete anonymity and freedom from accountability, often it’s the worst impulses that dominate, not the best.

Thus on the dark Web you find the doings of the anarchist hacktivists of Anonymous and the folks behind Wikileaks; Islamic jihadist message boards; stolen credit card numbers, for sale singly and by the thousands; drugs of every description; child pornography; prostitute directories; contact info for purported assassins; and mundane wares such as pirated music and movies.

**I used it for pirate music and normal sane porn. Also to post anti-multinational chemical company propaganda. I worked for Dow at the time. Bhopal and seeing lax shit even in NA made me a tree hugger big time**

PRIVACY TIP FOR DEEP WEB USERS: Use a VPN with Tor. Don’t fall into a false sense of security by believing that Tor is enough to protect you. If you want the very best anonymity and privacy while on the Deep Web then you need to be using a VPN with Tor. It is an extremely valuable tool in your fight for anonymity.

Thank you AH Mod for the clarification. I didn't think my thread was political.

I had just heard the term Dark Web and figure that there would be AH members who would know that it was.

I don't know how asking a simple question calls attention to myself.

Thank you so very much for your informative post.

I don't think I'll be using the Dark Web any time soon.

 

[SusanJillParker]

Climate change is about religion not politics.

Huh? Climate change is about politics? Climate change is about religion?

I thought climate change is about meteorology and science.

I can see how climate change can be a political football as it has been used by Congress.

I can even see how climate change can be used by those people who more believe in God than in science.

Only, I don't see how any of the above has to do with the Dark Web unless...this post is encrypted and is all just a code for Black Friday sales.

Is your friend very suddenly out of tinfoil?

 

[SusanJillParker]

Is your friend very suddenly out of tinfoil?

Actually, he's wicked smart. Anyone who gets into MIT, Massachusetts of Technology has to be smart and he received a four year scholarship.

He's a physicist and probably could make anything out of tinfoil, including a hat. Yes.

You're welcome!

P2P networks are quite legit. Many are run quite legally and above board. Excellent way to share stuff with trusted friends. Your sister on far side of world can have access to your entire computer if you give it to her. All your files anyways. Programs can be downloaded. There are chats. All very safe and secure in comparison to WWW.

Back in 2k best way to get stuff. Driver updates and such. We would build a computer and fill it with free programs, OSs and stuff off PSP networks. Burn discs of pirate stuff. The early days when anarchy or libertarianism could have ruled the WWW. Before it slowed down so much from banners and pop-ups. *sigh*

Whose old enough to remember Napster?

Smart people can be nuts too.

Or they can be fooled by confirmation bias or because they've isolated their information intake to too few sources.

There's smart. There's educated. Then, there's intelligent and educated. He's beyond intelligent and educated. He's a genius. He knows things and when he talks, I listen. I'd be the fool not to listen to when he's talking. I never talk when he's talking.

I suspect he didn't tell me all of the chatter than he heard, just what I needed to know to understand that there's something going on behind the scenes that we don't know and "they" won't tell us about.

We all think we're smart. We all think we're educated. We all think we're intelligent and educated but there are somethings we never see coming. There are things we don't know, couldn't possibly understand, and are better off not knowing.

Content in my ignorance, I'd rather stay in the shadows than to be exposed in the way that some folks are when lurking around the Dark Web. I call them targets. I call them victims. I call them dumb. Even though they think they know better, they don't. There is always someone smarter.

I'd rather remain ignorant that every year around this time, next month, I'll be watching, "It's a Wonderful Life," even though my life isn't so wonderful.

"Listen. Did you hear that? That's Google zeroing in your house. That's the cloud parked over your roof. NSA listens to your phone conversations. Our satellites in space can read your license plate and even look down your wife's blouse. We're not only being watched but also they're listening."

The only way to protect yourself from being a victim today is to be paranoid and to be afraid.

"Alexa? What's the weather? Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes. Alexa, can you hear me? Amazon TV, can you see me?"

Back in the 50's people built bunkers and stocked it with supplies. We all thought they were nuts but people are still building bunkers and stocking them with supplies. Forget about money and gold. It will be worthless. Guns, bullets, food, and water will be priceless.

Chaney and his company was hired to build a bunker deep in the mountains somewhere and to stock it with supplies. A modern day Noah's arc waiting for Doomsday when the best of the best will be taken there in case they are the only ones to survive. The rest of us are just collateral damage.

When will that happen? I don't know. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe in ten years. Maybe not in our lifetimes. Only, it will happen.

Interesting, I imagined this all of this from two words, Dark Web. Yet, fact is stranger than fiction and with me a fiction writer, I can imagine hearing chatter on the Dark Web and not knowing what it means until it's too late.

My genius of a friend told me that he heard chatter on the Dark Web? There's always chatter on the Dark Web but why would he tell me now? I don't know what that means but I'm afraid and you should be too.

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for today. I don't know about tomorrow.

 

[TamLin01]

Nobody is too smart to be wrong. Or crazy. And your friend sounds like a textbook crackpot. I'd say you're worried over less than nothing.

 

[JackLuis]

SJP, think about the Dark Lords of the Dark Web and it gets really spooky!

Maybe it just the NRA advocating people buy more guns and ammo to line the pockets of the suppliers? They do that, it's hard to find ammo and the factories are running 24/7! Where the hell does it all go?

Mix in a little Human Trafficking and you've got Electronic Erotic Horror covered.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Hanna

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Okay checking in the kitchen for terrorists sold me on it.

Hehehe.

Yeah MIT is good, correction WAS very good and may still be good but I personally don't know anymore with any reasonable degree of certainty.

'The Dark Web,' eh...

Sounds sinister and mysterious. And, the way you have given credence to what this dude is saying suggests you believe there is fire somewhere behind the smoke here.

(partly deleted)

'Talking to a friend' might be just a phrase.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

I mean, presumably, those people in the Dark Web are supposed to know what they are talking about, or have real access to authentic facts, or indeed, ARE directly involved in some relevant thing.

Consequently - and this is just my personal unguided and 'uneducated at MIT or anywhere's else' opinion (of course) - I cannot understand why 'ISIS' would want to 'attack' the US...

(Rest of post partly deleted now)

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Conveniently, there is ideology about 'Islamic State' acknowledging no borders.

Well, we have seen what that means.

So, wtf would real ISIS damage it's relations with the people for, who are providing it help and assistance and air cover, money, technology, and weapons, and buying oil from it??

No no. It won't be ISIS.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Deleted now...! Was only worthless minor stuff about Mexican drugs cartels.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Oh don't worry. I'll delete it in a few minutes... or hours.

(Part deleted now - definitely could not relay here what was said!)
