Under cyberattacks(updated)

Why there is this sudden buzz about cyberattacks?

And why should I received two surprising SMSes all of a sudden?

The said SMSes were received from a Hyderabad company offering online trading of stocks.I did actually received the first SMS yesterday evening(imagine how the company executives are being energized to work late into a Sunday evening)!

The SMSes told me that it is NOW okay to trade by using their browser-based tool.The key word is NOW because it has not been okay since many months.

For many months now I have been under a constant cyber attacks.

1) First,I was blocked from logging into their trading console.This console is company-issued software which we need to download and install into our computers.Immediately I shot off an email detailing my problem.No response,which,in itself,is a surprise because this particular email id is a very privileged one,specifically supplied to registered users only.As such,we always received a very prompt responses.

2) Then,I tried their browser-based tool.It worked for some days.Then,I was blocked again there as well.This time I was genuinely surprised.Did they achieve the blockade by utilizing my specific ip address?Did they actually keep track of the ip addresses assigned to me?After some initial confusion,I began to reason that they might have block off all of the ip addresses originating from Manipur.It's because users from Manipur have been deserting the company because of a tax problem and I might be one of the last very few users left.

It's to be noted here that I can still log into their browser-based tool but the live streaming part of the tool does not work.And I need the live streaming part the most.In case of their console,once I got logged into it,there might not be ways to deny the live streaming part and so,I was blocked off completely.

I think trading in stock is everything to do with pattern reading.And I genuinely think that I manage to find out some consistent patterns by using their console,that too by working on it for some three/four years,during which,I must hasten to note,I did incur considerable losses.Just when I was beginning to give final touches to my patterns,they did block me off.That destroys my four years of hard work.

Why should I meekly give in to a publicly traded company's wicked whim?

Military Intelligence.That's the reason.I genuinely suspect that the Military Intelligence quietly talk to the Hyderabad company and started all these cyberattacks.If the second largest military of the world decides to inflict cyber attacks to a poor blogger,what options would he get,in the first place?

So,I opted for practicability.I immediately jumped to the browser-based charts.

My first strategy was to get first initial patterns from their console and then,get themselves again tested in the browser-based charts.Now,I have no option but to solely depend on browser-based charts.(I have software when paired with subscription data delivers really live feeds and charts but browsers are getting better and better--to the point where we can use it for actual trade,especially,in case of NSE feed).

Would India'a military try to deny me the charts supplied by the likes of Google and Yahoo?.I think they have already got the tools to do it.That they so accurately track my ip addresses means that they have already thoroughly hacked my computer.I have a commercially available anti-virus and internet security software installed but it's almost certain that it cannot fend off a military grade attack.

As long as I manage to get the charts I will continue my works.When they start to stand between the charts and me,I would think of options available to me all over again.


UPDATE
18-04-15(8 pm)

As soon as Barack Obama penned an a piece on TIME singing paean to Narendrra Modi,a pro-Russian journalist was shot dead in Ukraine.They are saying--'We also target journalist,if our national interest demand it'.

Then,300 US paratroopers descended on Ukraine,ostensibly for training purpose.

Here,we have to note that Ukraine and Burma are unexpectedly fast becoming the frontline of the great two forces slowly gathering along the battleline.

From the frontline to the place where there is the centre of gravity--that link,right now,is a bit hazy and that's the reason why they need a person like Mr Amit Shah to give a hint to it.The opposing party know this and that's why Amit Shah's chopper acted funny at the last moment,just  like the Airforce One did in Germany during Narendra Modi's just concluded visit.(They said it was the bad weather which compelled Amit Shah to cancel his chopper ride and to opt for arduos road journey to
Imphal.Today's Imphal weather,which can be generally taken as a relaible barometer of what might be there at Kohima,is not that bad that would warrant a cancellation of a chopper flight).

So,Mr Amit Shah's hastily announced Imphal visit is meant to convey the message that what has been happening in the last few days in Ukraine is actually meant for the Manipuri rebels.

That there was a shooting down of a journalist might imply that the cyberattacks on this blogger is already becoming a big issue,which I don't have much liking for.I prefer to be left alone to enable me to do what I enjoy most--finding trends and patterns.So,I won't dwell much on this part.

The next part,of course,is the arrival of US paratroopers.

If we look back at the important military operations against the Manipuri rebels we would realize that the para regimens had always serve as the hard cutting edge of the attacks.The other troopers,such as the Assam Rifles,serve as the roles of those doing what they call the area domination.

That they have brought the US paratroopers in Ukraine might imply that the Indian para regimens might have been readying themselves for actions against the Manipuri rebels.

So,we might hear some big news soon.

How soon?

Here,we have to take note of another hurriedly annoounced visit--that of Chinese president,Mr Xi Jinping.

So,we might hear the big news during Xi visit(of Indonesia and pakistan) which he is begining on 20th April 15.

Brand-new plane accidents on the way(updated)?

India's prime minister is beginning a three nations official starting 8th of Aprl.The three nations are Canada,France and Germany.

Is this the case me imagining things?All the above three nations were very recently linked up by plane accidents.

First the Germanwings plane was crashed in the France Alps.Sure enough,that plane crash is still buliding up to be one of great mysteries of the aviation history.

Another Air Canada plane had had a miraculous escape in UK.

Just today,a Malaysian chopper crashed,killing a very close official of the Malaysian prime minister.The said official also happened to be the past ambassador to US.

I have this strong hunch that this chopper crash is meant to serve as a bridge between the above two plane accidents and the flight MH 370,the greatest ever mystery of the aviation accidents(engineered by India).All these are happening during the weeks as they are slowly marching towards the 8th of April,when Inida's prime minister starts the said three nations tour.

If I'm not imagining things,it's logical to say that several brand-new plane accidents are coming as the Indian prime minster starts his three nations tour.


UPDATE
07-04-15(8.10pm)

That they have come back to the planted story(my last post) again is subtle way to convey that they are on course--be it engineering accidents involving airplanes or outsourcing fighting(like they are doing right at the moment at Kokang region,bordering Yunam province of China).

When I wrote this original post I had absolutely no idea that the joint intelligence team from New Delhi was in Imphal.What triggered my post was the news of the Malaysian chopper crash.A case of pure coincidence.

But the news that they would submit their report to the prime minister is pure conncoction.Ovbiously,people in New Delhi have already more detailed reports prepared by the military.

So,what are trying to say when they let be known that they are right now on course in executing their scheduled tasks?

To my mind,their most pressing task is to counter the figth-back by Burma.Slowly but surely Burma is turning its gun to those who outsource  the fighting currently raging in Kokang region.

Burma has colour coded citizenship cards for three categories of citizen.Besides these three categories of colour coded cards,they had recently issued white cards to the stateless people which enable them to vote in the last election.These white card holders naturally think that the cards are the harbingers to the legally accepted citizenship documents.

But contrary to their belief the Burmese authorities are in the process of taking back the white cards,which,in the first place,do not mean anything in the legal system and constitution of Burma.

Amongst those surrendering the white cards are the people of Indian origin,known as Kala,which,I suspect,has some derogatory connotation.As per the estimate of New Delhi they are more than 2.5 milliom in numbers.

So far, the world has heard enough of what is happening in Arakan region of Burma.The main story there is hardship and agony of the stateless Bengali settlers there.

The people of Indian origin has the same legal status as these Bengali settlers,But the world has,so far,not heard enough of them.

Now,the situation has suddenly changed.This sudden change was brought about by the New Delhi's outsourcing of their fight with Burmese government to the Konkan Chinese,most lokely by monetary allurement.As the Burnese has slowly started aiming their guns to those who outsource the fighting,the focus now comes to the people of Indian origin.What will happen to them?

Evidently,New Delhi has already started sending out high officials to the areas bordering Burma to find 'materials' to counter those imminent moves by the Burmese government.

I have this strong hunch that the joint intelligence team,currently in Imphal,is a part of that exercise.

Where the personal and the public intersect

Years back,I was confronted with a pretty big personal problem.

I know it's a lame statement because everybody always have some sort of personal problems.But I've started out with this statement to highlight how my friends had reacted to my personal problem then.And,to put this story in right perspective,I must hasten to add that many of friends are now business leaders,thought leaders and social leaders.

!)Some of my friends thought I myself was the problem!

That's quite understandable because I have this feeling that I am not an easy person  to make acquainted with!But they should had gone a little deeper than that facet of mine which was mainly informed by the reigning social etiquette and mores.Part of the reason why they didn't do was their refusal to go beyond the tangible.They didn't( and still do not) like the intangibles in life.

For most persons,that should have been the end of that episode.But by the incident of birth,I (and my family) happen to stand right in the focus of a vicious propaganda onslaught of one of the most prominent feudal lords of Manipuri society.Gradually,I discover that what all of my friends had known me(me,the person,the tangible) was actually the several layers of smears of generations of propaganda onslaught by a feudal lord.

Now comes the most intriguing part.How can many of friends become thought leaders,social leaders when they can't even see through the propaganda of a mere feudal lord?

This is a bewildering question.But the sense of bewilderment subsides(at least,for me) when I experience that all the professors of Manipur with whom I have had personal contact are so full prejudices!What on earth are the prejudicial professors?This can only happen inside a 'box' erected by nazism,that is Indian.The success rate of propagation of India's nazism is directly proportionate to the degree of how well they erect such 'boxes'.In plain words,such 'boxes' are the 'special category' playing fields where you can have prejudicial professors!

All my friends,by virtue of becoming unquestioning residents of the 'box',can become thought leaders,social leaders while they are still incapable of seeing through the propaganda of a mere feudal lord.All my friends,alas,could not(and still cannot) intellectually jump out of the 'box' erected by India's nazism.

2)The remainder of my friends did not want to take side.

I,myself did not want any of my friends to come to my side.So,I never did talk to them about my big personal problem.Again,for most persons,it would be the end of that episode.But all of my friends then were either student activists or social activists.That fact adds a new tenor and tone to the above statement.I still strongly feel that what they did then was a conscious effort to take the middle path--the great middle way.That is precisely the principle which, I think,forms the pinnacle of indian nazis propaganda.

In other words,all of my friends have graduated from wholesale swallowing of the propaganda of a mere feudal lord to the more socially accepted doses of finer propaganda emanated out of India's nazism!Finer propganda like peace talk!!

I'll wrap up my personal story with another statement that I managed to wrestle through my big personal problem with the help of two men--one I met in person and the other,in his writings.I'll mention only the later.Through Noam Chomsky writings I came to understand that all 'power centres' inherently try to project their stories to their surrounding.This apparently ordinary sounding precept immensely helped me in understanding and tackling my big personal problems.

Now, I would use the words 'power centres' to connect with what is personal to what is social to me.

My childhood is,in the main,the story of constant threat from feudalism,which is the 'powe centre' in its shabbiest form.As a queer case of sudden transportation form the personal domain to that of the public,I'm, right now, sensing serious threats to my society from various 'power centres'.

Reminiscing of my childhood,blogging now is an exercise of escaping the the influence of 'power centres' because media houses are 'power centres' in themselves.For the first time in human history,an ordinary citzen can publish stuffs( with the every possibility of finding substantial readers),all the while steering clear of various 'power centres' of the society.Inthis sense,blogging is revolutionary(but,I'm not saying bloggers are all revolutionaries!)

But I have no chance of escaping.We can see how several 'power centres'have conspired together to respond to my last post.They have planted a story in a leading newspaper.They forced a newsreport to appear on the pages dated 1st April 15 based on a conversation happened way back in December 2014!This particular newsreeport gleefully talks of peace talk with New Delhi.

In the context of my last post,the newsreport intends to drop enough hints that the Indian state would not only persuade the Kachin Independent Army not to ratify the Burmese ceasefire document but also would persuade more rebel groups of Manipur to join the likes of  peace talk,presently engaged by NSCN(IM).

That they have taken this subtle route of dropping the hints means that the Indian state have already made big gains in persuading several rebel groups to the idea of peace talk with New Delhi.But the said rebel groups would not come out openly for peace talks.instead,they would stay back within the folds of rebel ecosystem and try to wreck the whole superstructure of Manipur's rebellion tradition from inside of it.
