The Government is Ransomware for your Brain

One of the unfortunate developments in the digital age is the manifestation of a new type of computer virus know as Ransomware. The Ransomware is sent to the target computer and when this virus infects the target computer it encrypts the data on the hard drive making it unusable. A very professional letter is then displayed to the computer owner. It informs them their data has been encrypted for their "protection". However if they do not pay the ransom payable in bitcoins in a short period of time they will lose their data forever.

Since I have been involved with Crypto-currency, I have had more calls than l want to count to sell people bitcoins needed to pay this Ransomware fee. Usually it is businesses that are targeted as most home users when hit with this virus, reload the operating system and kiss their pictures goodbye The price usually is about $700 worth of bitcoin. Once they pay the fee, a key is sent to the customer that allows them to return their computers to their unencrypted state. I hate going on these calls, because bitcoin is the most amazing technology to make the world a better place and yet for most of these people, this is their first exposure to it. The principle reason that bitcoin is used is because it is anonymous and the ransomware customer can not reverse the transaction once the key is received and the computer is unencrpyted.

So right now, I am using my computer just as you are as well, I go to my email and open an attachment and OMG now the computers all phuked up. The government "works" the same way. I am going along minding my own business, enjoying my life and along comes this violent criminal organization that places a virus on my brain known to most as "government". This violent criminal organization, known as the BORG, just loves to get into my business and your business too, in fact your business IS their only business! Every time I want to do something, somehow without my permission I find I have to engage with the BORG. Everything they do is for RANSOM!

Everybody else in the 3 dimensional world generally operates by persuasion, being nice and offering choices and convenience. Through the laws of supply and demand they must add value to the transaction or they become obsolete. However this violent criminal organization doesn't operate like that at all. They operates through violence, threat of violence, kidnapping, theft, killing, fraud and RANSOM! I can only imagine how much more effective I could be as a salesman, if I could only lock my customers in a cage for a while, to persuade them into needing my product and determine for them what they need to pay for it.

Whenever I have to deal with these criminals I feel like I have gotten ectoplasm on me, like the goo they had on "Ghostbusters". The only way to get it off, is to pay them a Ransom! At least with the Ransomware, once you remove it from your computer you only have to pay them once. With the government, they have set up a convenient system, for them of course, to keep getting payed over and over and over again. The government can be very very hard to get out of ones life. Every time you turnaround they want money and if your don't pay them, they hold you HOSTAGE!
