Be Aware, Be Safe

Be Aware

Be aware Be safe

We all take the new technology at our fingertips for granted, whether it be mobile phones, apps to do anything, tablets or laptops.  We also all make use of the various ‘free’ WiFi hotspots, but we all need to be more security conscious – be safe be aware.

Be Safe

Firstly Password

Don’t, repeat, Don’t use the same password for every device.  With social media scamming these days, you would be surprised on how easy it is for someone to get your second middle name or birthday date which surprisingly so many use!Be aware Be Safe

Remembering different passwords is difficult, but if you must write them down, do so in an address book under a fictitious name and disguise.  Or use a memorable sentence and exchange some of the letters for numbers or special characters e.g. E becomes 3, S becomes 5 and also throw in as I said a special character if allowed.  Be safe Be aware.

Be Safe Outside

For those of you who know how never make your phone or tablet discoverable by other devices.  When connecting to different WiFi outlet, use a different password each time!

Protect Your Device

Whenever possible have an anti-virus on your device, and keep it up to date.  If in doubt ask, better still learn, BE SAFE, NOT SORRY!

USB Memory Sticks

USB - Be Safe Be AwareWe all probably have at least one on which we have phtos etc for giving to our family or friends, or we may use them for transferring documents between computers.  But again, we rarely have these USB devices password protected or even better encrypted.

A free program like ‘Veracrypt’ is one of best programs currently available for this job.  There are others, and if you need help then please get some.

And lastly, if you find a USB stick anywhere and it is not yours, or if you lose your own and then refind it, never assume it is safe.  An old trick is to add malware or a virus to a stick – you gain a problem and/or they gain access to your device(s).  Be safe Be aware.

 

 

 

 

The Myth Of “Patient Zero” Is Finally Laid To Rest

safe sexReporting is about being as accurate as you can with the information currently available; unfortunately to often it has been about sensationalism, trying to get readers, and playing to the gallery when the ‘reporting’ has been about the LGBT community.
This article reflects how once again, how we as a community where used as scape goats for waht is now recognised as a national and international problem.  People have sex, but unless we educate properly in our schools, and continue to educate about safe sex, no matter what gender, then we will have problems.
Burrying our collectives heads in the sand, saying to people don’t have sex, are not working – we need to show people the right way of doing things, including contraceptives, and then maybe we will get a grip of the various sexual diseases which are plaguing our society

Myth of patient zero and gay sexThirty-two years after his death in 1984, Gaétan Dugas remains a legendary figure …

Election ‘Fever’

By 1 Comment

Susan Anne White Independent CandidateWhen we heard that Ms Susan-Anne White was standing as an independent candidate standing for MP in Northern Ireland and has apparently  said she would criminalise adultery and homosexuality, according to a leaflet posted online; we had to take a look at her campaign.
 
Her manifesto,
For NIGRA what is interesting is that May 2014 Ms White, a Trillick woman,  stood as a candidate for the Omagh area.  At this time we had tried to find out more about Ms White, and were able to come across the a document intorducting the Society and Family Enterprise Party (SAFE) which she stated she belonged to, we again reprint this for your education:
Introducing the
SOCIETY AND FAMILY ENTERPRISE PARTY (S-A-F-E)
Preliminary Policy proposals
Based upon a radical return to the Judeo-Christian heritage of Western civilization, the alarming moral, social and political crises of our times demand the vision and values of this new party.
Believing that the basic unit of society is the family, at the heart of the SAFEagenda is the reaffirmation of properly-defined marriage and family cohesion. Domestic disintegration is the main cause of our social and political decline. A return to well-established parenting is imperative. The recovery and rectification of fatherhood and motherhood roles is essential to disciplined, happy and well-adjusted child-rearing. The tax system should favour families.
THE TEN INTENTIONS
We need to be:
SAFE from growing homosexual militancy (Section 28 being restored).
SAFE from the Darwinian-driven ‘pc’ educational agenda (and inappropriate sex instruction).
SAFE from the neo-fascist and resource-draining EU (impacting our military and other capabilities).
SAFE from the islamification of our culture (with state-assisted emigration of Muslims).
SAFE from every category of criminality (political and corporate, major and petty).
SAFE from decadent priests in apostate churches (Roman Catholic, Anglican and others).
SAFE from over-sexualised and over-violent entertainment (with internet regulation).
SAFE from unethical economics (principled investment, with just pricing and honest labelling).
SAFE from corrupt career politicians (especially those pursuing a ‘gay’ agenda).
SAFE from anti-democratic ‘left’ and ‘right’ extremism (with liberty for peaceable minorities).
This SAFE proposal is floated for your interest.
Dr Alan C. Clifford (a Pastor of the Reformed Faith, with no personal political ambitions, simply a desire to motivate others who might have a patriotic conscience and a concern to do good in these evil days).
‘There shall be showers of blessing…They shall be SAFE in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them’ (Ezekiel 34: 26-7).
‘Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the LORD. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is SAFE’(Philippians 3: 1).

As we have said before, before you vote make certain you know what the candidate stands for, and vote carefully, we may have them in power for 5 years ruling our lives!
