Hey, Where’s My Weed?

Federal regulators just shut off all water for irrigation in Klamath County. The county is along the Oregon-Kalifornia border. It has been the driest season in 127 years. Even the Coho salmon, which are on the endangered species list, will be left to die when the water is shut off. Hopefully all the pot-heads in Kalifornia won’t notice the upcoming weed shortage as both legal and illegal pot farms suck water from the Klamath River. At one time weed was the largest cash crop in the People’s Republik of Kalifornia in that region.  Will there be weed rationing and weed lines at the pot shops?

I wonder if the Biden administration is preparing for the all of the weed that will be smuggled across our Southern border, when the weed farms up North (literally) dry up? We like our drugs here in the PRK and so do folks in the rest of the states. The Mexican cartels will be more than happy to fill the demand for weed.

Given that the weed farms will not have water, I predict that the BORDER CRISIS or challenge, as President Biden calls it, will become an EVEN GREATER problem since the US stopped construction of “The Wall” and we have no intention of completing it. Added to that, Customs and Border Protection is too busy babysitting minors and has no resources to stop drug smugglers. The demand for weed will not abate and the cartels know an opportunity when they see it.

Maybe I need to smoke some herb to keep from getting depressed about the incompetence of our leaders.

Your Data Is Secure, We Promise

Apple assures us that data kept on their iCloud servers is secure.

Here are some statements direct from Apple.  

iCloud is built with industry-standard security technologies, employs strict policies to protect your information, and is leading the industry by adopting privacy-preserving technologies like end-to-end encryption for your data.”  and, 

All sessions at iCloud.com are encrypted with TLS 1.2. Any data accessed via iCloud.com is encrypted on server as indicated in this table.” and,

No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information

You can read it at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Okay, so Apple is CONFIDENT and PUBLICLY swears all you data is secure from prying eyes.  Even APPLE cannot access your data.

Well here’s some interesting news.

Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani, claims that while acting as the personal ATTORNEY to President Trump, his iCloud data was surveilled and taken between May 1, 2018 and November 2019, by the FBI. He claims his attorney was informed of this by the FBI. The FBI claims that the surveillance and data capture was LEGAL because a covert warrant was issued as part of a criminal investigation, to obtain said data.

The big question to me is, HOW DID THE FBI GET DATA FROM THE iCloud SERVERS?

Again in Apple’s own words, “NO ONE ELSE, NOT EVEN APPLE can access … encrypted information.”

Huh?

What this indicates is that Apple does have a “BACK DOOR” into the data on their servers and that they cooperate with anyone who is AGAINST REPUBLICANS.  How do we know they are against Republicans?  Let’s look at who they do protect.

We know Apple is PRO TERRORIST. On Dec. 2, 2015 TERRORISTS Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik shot and killed 14 people and injured 22 more during an attack on a Christmas party, in San Benardino, CA. After the TERRORISTS were killed in a gun battle with law enforcement, TWO iPhones were recovered. The iPhones may have contained information to other terrorist activities. The NSA was not able to bypass Apple’s encryption of the iPhone data nor were they, I assume, able to recover it from the iCloud. The FBI asked Apple to help them recover the data. Apple DECLINED to help due to its policy to never undermine the security features of its products.

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, stated, “We have a responsibility to protect your data and your privacy. We will not shrink from this responsibility“.

Apple protects TERRORISTS but seemingly NOT REPUBLICANS.

Your data is secure as long as you’re NOT a REPUBLICAN.
