Hmmmm…where did that copy of Russia and Georgia’s divorce agreement go?

I am just young enough to remember watching the Challenger take-off as a “special event” during high school and yet I am old enough to feel a quiver or two of major curiousity with Russia being inter-spersed throughout the media.  And maybe I’m really out of it since I haven’t been paying much attention to world issues as much as I’d like to…and I thought the “true” concern was that Georgia believes Russia is violating their divorce agreement and if that’s true…

I am no more familiar with the intricacies of our political relationship with  this nation than I am with how to melt soap chips into a new bar of soap or how to sew together a set of curtains for my home, and yet I sense there is a  storyline being picked up that has Illusionary Ghost written all over it.

For example, the Chicago Tribune had written on Monday, August 18, 2008, “A Russian newspaper recently published what was portrayed as the seamy truth behind the conflict in Georgia: Vice President Dick Cheney helped engineer the war as a way to keep Barack Obama from getting elected.”

And yet, not two days ago I came across a headline stating that somehow the “Russian Business Network” was somehow involved in a cyber-attack in Georgia.

Now, for anyone unfamiliar with the term “Russian Business Network” or RBN, it isn’t a brick and mortar structure in which someone dresses up in a suit and tie (or skirt!  LOL!) and then goes to work each day to produce a tangible product and/or service.  Instead, think of it as a highly stealth and complex series of scripts run by a control panel designed to interfere and disturb any series of available options on the “How to Disturb the Force, Luke” list.

Now last I heard (which was right around this time last year), the most recent broadcasts being produced with the RBN label had shifted grids from Russian-based servers to Chinese.  But with RBN materials or even Rock Phish Gang (RPG) productions (again, last I heard about a year ago was that they were broadcasting out of Europe), the questions surrounding the use of such materials remains clearly in play with this most recent flutter of activities between Russia and Georgia.

Let me first start with a real noodle-buster for anyone pissy with how Senator Stevens testified regarding why there had been delays in the White House email servers.  This theory burst onto my illusionary scenery I use when attempting to grasp just who is doing what and for what purpose when it comes to these supernova-type events that pop up looking an awful lot like a black hole…

I think Stevens knew exactly what he was doing when he set all of us writers up to think he actually thought Netflix was the cause of clogging up the “tubes”…and so did at least a few others, let alone a whole bunch!

Wicked, ain’t it!  But here is a man who was a World War II pilot and he didn’t keep winning election after election ’cause he was stoopid…all political parties play the game of buying and selling keywords, but Stevens holds/held the theoretical slot of “President of the Internet for at least the United States of America.”  I keep thinking I’m going to do a quick search on the Internet for a total tally of how many corporations Stevens has mentioned over the years in his speeches, but instead I’m going to have faith in the Department of Justice already knowing all about this possibility and that since I’m already a day short and a dollar late on my down-payment on my own future…(p.s. I was one of the many who couldn’t wait to fire off my own scathing retort to Stevens’ stupidity when it happened, so even I contributed to that particular act of my own free will)

So let me return to Russia and Georgia and this most recent idea that a “cyber-attack” was the first bullet fired with this latest real-life skirmish complete with real-life tanks and guns and stuff.  If there was a “Russian” cyber attack on “Georgia,” the only way to find out if anyone with any form of Russian agenda actually coordinated such an effort is by identifying and interviewing the Architect(s) and Engineer(s) that performed such a feat.

There very well could have been some RBN or RPG scripts being fed into someone’s radar system, but without the designer and the front-line producers, is it truthfully possible to point a finger at any nation and say conclusively “They did it!  Get ‘em!”?

Without the Architect(s), its virtually impossible to trace the core funding for such types of events and without the Engineers, its pretty damn difficult to back trace who scored what in the Keyword Marketplace just within those first 24 hours of reports being published about a literal heart-breaking Russia versus Georgia entanglement being played out not in the State of Georgia I know…

But a country that keeps reporting “Russia” is acting like the bully in this particular scenario.  But Russia’s also been pretty relatively quiet across the board when it comes to these types of line-crossings.  Are they really making a bid for becoming the next war front to weight upon their minds…and ours…or is it possible someone set up the scenery in such a way, this was more of a knee-jerk reaction to materials piling up in favor of judging “Georgia” guilty of such…what grounds are being argued again…horrific crimes against humanity?…negligent social and political policies?…

A search engine cannot determine the sub-meanings to words such as Art, War and Love.

To a computer, these can…and do…mean anything the publisher wants them to mean.

And people are constantly funding the maintenance of botnets, but since its been over a year since I looked into that side of life, I have no idea what the going rate is today for a clump of computers ready and able to jack up the keyword count with the click of a mouse.

I just know they still must exist…and someone made some bucks somewhere with this real marriage between the terms Russia and Georgia in the virtual community…

Because I’ve been told they divorced once another a while ago, but then again I get my information primarily from the television and the Internet and even then, most of the time I’m only listening to the music playing on the radio.

So I guess its time I got back to my list of Things To Do, and watch this line item slowly creep its way to the top…

“Finish scrubbing the toilet and bathtub.”

The toilet I don’t mind.

It’s the bathtub.

I have knobby knees and its a tile floor!  LOL! ;>)

And call me crazy, but I don’t relish the idea of doing something that’s gonna hurt…

And that’s why one of my other line items is…

“Wash the bathroom rugs.”

And that just hit the top of my list because I had completely forgotten about it until now!

Whee!  What fun it is to still be an unemployed artist!
