My Thoughts ....

I have been abused falsely accused and there are some who have united against me as a "Black-woman" in America where right now we are under attack simply for who we are and those who know that there is a change coming .... and those who were on top shall be on the bottom and those on the bottom shall rise to the top with that being said there is a wicked -movement  of mostly men and a few females hell-bent on interrupting that which is already been written thinking I guess that they can stop what God has already spoken, seeing that the Woman is the one to give birth I guess that makes me a target for their unwarranted hate, stalking and even the "witch-coven's " who come to stand over my bedroom from the apartment above mine and cast spells and evil intentions trying to destroy my future  - Yet He still prepares a table for me in the presence of mine enemies ....

Luke 21

21 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Faith +Positive life + Gratitude

 

Cheslie Kryst, the late Miss USA 2019, spoke of online bullying before she died REPOST

Personal Message from "Stay at home mom's changing lives " -
 We must do more to prosecute those who maliciously harass "Women of color " online and in our daily lives -  I can speak on this  subject because I too have been targeted by these extremists who have invaded my personal privacy out of Malice and their own jealous-envy . They feel empowered to troll us online and to mount up in numbers with other cowards who are so  hateful and ugly that they can't even show their own faces in public  and instead they hide , they hide in on-line forums they hide on social media platforms where they believe that they are invisible and they taunt us , they try and shame us and then when we prove that their falsities  and shallow self-attacks on our true courage, beauty  and beliefs do not matter they move into your apartment complex's and our high-rise condo's and they prey upon us , because in truth these are "domestic -terrorists" disguised as neighbors ,friends, managers or staff members . These are in fact the devil's that we have been warned about yet had never experienced until they came to our front doors. For many and unfortunately for Cheslie Kryst it was just too much , imagine living with a bully like that hovering over your every-move criticizing you for breathing the air that they feel you don't deserve to breath , as they lie in wait... for the opportunity to point a finger at you when in fact if they were not such foul-malicious- evil-devils they'd be brave enough to look up the word Malice and Envy and  find a picture of themselves nestled right there. 
For all of the beautiful women of color , who have been brave and courageous enough to lift up your heads when the rest of the world has turned a deaf -ear to your cries for help and your need for security in a sometimes Godless world I say Keep moving forward keep walking keep living the Life that The Most High God placed you here  on Earth to live and NEVER let the words of those who can only taunt you for your beauty, your brains and your sheer ability to rise much higher than they themselves could ever dream or imagine , you my Sister's are more precious than Rubies for you are the Apple of HIS eye and you will always have those who hate you because if everyone likes you , you're probably not living as you were intended to live . So realize that those who hate you , actually are too cowardly to look within and change themselves and instead they make you their focus while not noticing that there is a high-steam - fast-paced-  Locomotive heading straight  in their direction intent on causing them the same abrupt ending that they are trying to inflict upon you.  So keep walking keep waking up and keep placing your faith in the only one who truly knows hears and sees all that has been thrown at you and everything that you have had to  brave just to keep going , you are  Amazing and you are as beautiful as they all know and hate . You just keep your faith in the Most High God and never ever let the Malice and envy of someone who is not even in your league stand in judgment of you for they lack that ability . And deep down they know it . But you must know it too You are a Ruby living amongst pebbles. Rubies have tremendous value and  shine, But  Pebbles they  just get crushed and crumble when weight is applied.  

proverbs 3 - kjv

Trust in the Lord

1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Blessed is He who Finds Wisdom

13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

26For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

32For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

33The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

When people are immature, they make up all kinds of lies ......

There are some who will stalk you and steal from you then it appears that they got bored, so they began to hack your accounts and send messages to themselves (as if they are even relevant in your world ...) This punk -ass child needs to get a better obsession because I am tired of being the center of your feeble-minded -world. 

Learn a new way of dealing with your anger and your jealousy of those who you no-doubt want to be, but in reality you cannot even hold a candle to my light ...  When your need for attention includes stalking another woman or coming to where she resides so you can do your little witch-craft spells to make her looks diminish (so , sorry about how bad you're looking after all that crap backfired - try some moisturizer and a new nightly routine of cleansing your pores) and also you must realize that all of your lies your fake Police reports your hacking my social media accounts and then posting obnoxious comments trying to make people believe that I would actually show such a  lack of intelligence , know this boo-boo-Bear the real Feds are watching your every move and are counting your keystrokes , preparing to indict your lame ass for malicious harassment , Stalking , Extremism, and intentionally filing false claims to the police with the intent to cause an interference in the life of the woman who deep down , you   really want to be , but can't , so you remain stuck on acting out like a child who has deep mental -instabilities ! because un- less you decide to act like an adult and just learn that there are some things that you just can't be or things that you just can't do just because you are immature jealous or full of envy (though shall not covet) Or , you might just end up in a padded room- somewhere with NO access to the general public or the internet, And we All know that would surely be the end of you being able to get any attention .

 they are so desperate and full of lies that they've they have prevented me from being able to receive my mail I have not received any notices from the courts and I have not given consent to any law firm or any attorney to represent my best interest in fact they are trying to deprive me of my day in court to face them for all of the fraud damages and the loss of my inheritance  these devils are some of the most ruthless thieves I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with . If I am prevented from being notified of a court date this is a violation of due process  these people are in fact trying to harass me as a witness and trying to obstruct justice - this is a damn travesty ! thieves gang stalking ,stealing abusing and false accusing ! and I have not retained an attorney to represent me in any case.  and I am being blocked from receiving messages from the court ! obstruction of justice !

THIS EVENT WAS SO ENTIRELY INSANE THAT I STILL CAN NOT COMPREHEND WHAT THE HELL WOULD EVER MAKE ANYONE DO SOMETHING SO HATEFUL TO ANOTHER , THIS WAS ALL DONE  IN HOPES OF GETTING ME STUCK IN THE MINDSET OF THE OBVIOUS TRAUMA  AND DISTRESS THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED PREVIOUSLY  ALSO TO PLACE ME IN A STATE OF DEPRESSION AND DISPARE  OR  SUICIDE . WHICH I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY -FEEL THAT THESE REPEATED- ACTIONS  SHOULD CARRY A TOUGHER SENTENCE AS THESE SAME  PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH THESE VILE AND INTRUSIVE ASSAULTS WERE ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE THEFT OF MY INHERITANCE -AND THIS ALL GOES TOWARDS MOTIVE TO WANT TO NOW ESCAPE PROSECUTION FOR ALL OF THEIR CRIMES MEANT TO CAUSE ME A LOSS . TO CAUSE ME TO SUFFER PHYSICALLY MENTALLY  AND  EMOTIONALLY AND WOULD  HAVE LED TO  MY DEMISE , HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MY STRONG FAITH IN THE MOST HIGH -GOD , WHICH THEY ALSO ATTACKED . 

FYI THIS IS WHAT STALKING IS AND THE LAWS FOR PROSECUTION WHEN YOU BREAK THESE LAWS

(b) The person being harassed or followed is placed in fear that the stalker intends to injure the person, another person, or property of the person or of another person. The feeling of fear must be one that a reasonable person in the same situation would experience under all the circumstances; and
(c) The stalker either:
(i) Intends to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person; or
(ii) Knows or reasonably should know that the person is afraid, intimidated, or harassed even if the stalker did not intend to place the person in fear or intimidate or harass the person.

(4) Attempts to contact or follow the person after being given actual notice that the person does not want to be contacted or followed constitutes prima facie evidence that the stalker intends to intimidate or harass the person. "Contact" includes, in addition to any other form of contact or communication, the sending of an electronic communication to the person.
(5)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, a person who stalks another person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
(b) A person who stalks another is guilty of a class C felony if any of the following applies:
(i) The stalker has previously been convicted in this state or any other state of any crime of harassment, as defined in RCW 9A.46.060, of the same victim or members of the victim's family or household or any person specifically named in a protective order;

Facebook Grapples With a Maturing Adversary in Election Meddling

10-12 minutes

---

News Analysis

A Facebook page called “Ancestral Wisdom” that was created by a suspicious group posted an image of a dark-skinned girl with the caption, “Black girls don’t have to be mixed to be beautiful.”Creditvia Atlantic Council’s DFRLab

They covered their tracks, using software to camouflage their internet traffic. They created Facebook pages for anti-Trump culture warriors, Hispanic activists and fans of alternative medicine. And they organized protests in coordination with real-world political groups.
The people behind an influence campaign ahead of this year’s elections, which Facebook disclosed on Tuesday, copied enough of the tactics used by Russians in the 2016 races to raise suspicion that Russia was at it again. But the new efforts also revealed signs of a maturing adversary, adapting and evolving to better disguise itself, while also better imitating real activists.
The coordinated activity — a collection of memes, photos and posts on issues like feminist empowerment, indigenous rights and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency — show the enormity of the challenge ahead of Facebook, as it tries to weed out impersonators. As the forces behind the accounts become harder to detect, the company is left to separate the ordinary rants and raves of legitimate users from coordinated, possibly state-backed attempts to sway public opinion.
“This is not a one-time event limited to the 2016 election,” said Michael Posner, the director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University’s Stern School of Business, which recently published a report about Russian influence campaigns. “It’s a daily drumbeat. These are entities trying to disrupt our democratic process by pushing various forms of disinformation into the system.”
Facebook said it had shut down 32 accounts that were collectively followed by 290,000 users. Many of the accounts had few followers, and the overall scope of the operation was smaller than the 2016 Russian campaign. The announcement from the company reinforced concerns in Washington that the federal government and social media companies would not be able to keep foreign actors out of this year’s election.
Facebook said it found enough evidence to shut down the accounts, pull the pages and remove the events they organized. But it did not immediately say who was behind the campaign, or where it was based, even as some lawmakers immediately pointed the finger at Russia.
In some ways, there were similarities with the earlier Russian efforts, including those by the Internet Research Agency, the troll farm that meddled in the 2016 election. Pages posted on Facebook were often written in broken English, for example.
But there were significant differences, too. According to Facebook, the recently revealed operation used virtual private networks to obscure its location. It also used internet-based telephone services, and routed Facebook ad purchases through third parties.
The content evolved, too, to better match the current debates in the United States. According to a report about past meddling released by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, the I.R.A.’s most successful Facebook posts in 2016 focused on conventional conservative themes: posts supporting hard-line immigration policies tended to do well, as did posts denouncing gun control and Hillary Clinton.
The new operation focused on issues like feminist empowerment, anti-racist activism and liberal outrage over the actions of I.C.E., according to information released by Facebook on Tuesday, and additional data it shared with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. Specific groups were targeted with narrow messages that would appeal to them, such as a wellness-focused page that posted a graphic about the dangers of genetically modified food.
“It shows a level of sophistication in retail politics,” said Graham Brookie, the director of the Digital Forensic Lab, which published a report about the material this week.
The recent operation also appears to have been more focused on creating offline chaos, by setting up and promoting Facebook events, such as a counterprotest to a planned white nationalist rally that was co-hosted by one of the suspicious pages, which also had real groups behind it. The event attracted interest from more than 3,000 users.
“They’re better integrated into groups and events,” said Jonathan Albright, the director of the Digital Forensics Initiative at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism. The new group’s goal, Mr. Albright said, appeared to be “pushing real-life events and connecting the online and offline together in some type of activism that results in conflict.”
One of the biggest suspicious accounts disclosed by Facebook was “Resisters,” a page that appeared to be run by feminist activists. The page’s description stated its mission: “Online and offline feminist activism against fascism. Widespread public education and direct action, amplifying the voices from targeted communities.”

The Resisters page, created in March 2017, accumulated thousands of followers with a mix of posts about gender equality and other progressive ideals. Its most popular post was about an anti-rape device invented in South Africa, with the caption, “What do you think about this?”
Many of the campaign’s posts were similar in tone to ones found in 2016, when the I.R.A. used issues like the Black Lives Matter movement to inflame racial tension.
A page called “Aztlan Warriors” was set up in March 2017, a day before the Resisters page. Its description read “We empower our gente,” using the Spanish word for “people.” With a mixture of memes and photos, the page promoted the mistreatment of Native Americans and indigenous Hispanic people by white people. A typical post, made on June 28, showed a protester carrying a sign that read “In 1492 Native Americans Discovered Columbus Lost at Sea.”
Another page created by the group, “Ancestral Wisdom,” posted an image of a dark-skinned girl with the caption, “Black girls don’t have to be mixed to be beautiful.”
Many of these posts were stolen from other websites and accounts. But they showed that influence campaigns have become increasingly adept at mimicking the tenor of social media activists of all stripes, and turning online outrage into real-world action.
None of this is rocket science, exactly. Any Facebook user could tell you that outrage performs better than calm equanimity on social media, and that heated discussions of issues like women’s rights and the persecution of indigenous people are pervasive on the American left. And experts have suggested that trolls may be trying to build a large and hyper-engaged audience, with the intent of weaponizing the account for more strategic purposes later on.
The people behind the Facebook campaign may have tested more advanced techniques. Several of the pages that were taken down contained links to a Facebook Messenger account, suggesting that the influence operators may have used messages to connect with individual followers.

A Facebook spokesman declined to comment on whether pages connected with the campaign used Facebook Messenger, citing the company’s continuing investigation.
A side effect of the disinformation campaigns is that they make social media as a whole seem inherently untrustworthy, and give fodder to those who want to cast doubt on the legitimacy of authentic movements. Already, some partisans have adopted the tactic of sowing doubt about internet-based movements by painting their opponents as Russian trolls or agents of a foreign-influence campaign.
This type of suspicion appears likely to grow, as influence campaigns get harder and harder to distinguish from authentic activity.
Facebook’s rules do not forbid people from suggesting, as the new influence campaign did on its network of pages, that electromagnetic radiation from cellphones causes life-threatening illness, or that I.C.E. should be abolished. The campaign’s sin, in Facebook’s eyes, was conducting “inauthentic activity” using fake accounts. Artificially stoked outrage is permissible, as long as you use your real name.
In a call with reporters on Tuesday, Facebook’s chief security officer, Alex Stamos — who is leaving the company this month — sounded a determined note, saying that Facebook would do everything in its power to sniff out fake accounts and coordinated influence campaigns.
“We should not assume that increased complexity in attributing actors means that we’re not going to be able to stop this activity,” Mr. Stamos said.
Mr. Posner of N.Y.U., said that the disclosure of the new information operation should prompt all social media companies to take the threat of information warfare more seriously. He said the company should build teams of Russian-speaking analysts who are familiar with the methods employed by these groups, and specifically focus on threats originating from I.R.A.-type campaigns.
“They’re looking for ways to divide our society,” he said. “They’re not limiting themselves to siding with one political candidate or another. It’s a much deeper and more pernicious kind of activity.”
