OF THE
TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

You can "inoculate" your Windows computer against being "infected" with CryptoLocker:

Your PC is much safer running Linux, or even Mac OS X on an Apple PC. Those are both Unix-like PC operating systems, and they're not nearly as vulnerable to malware.
It could be as is claimed, or it could be the "other side" pushing back against bitcoin, the currency that threatens TPTB, although I'm not convinced that they're as threatened as some make out. So people that start to take heed about gold & silver & bitcoin will think long & hard about "terrorists" using it, or that those who created it ARE the "terrorists" & are using proxies.
Of course they have several yarns they can spin, since people can't be bothered to do at least, SOME research (If they actually know what that is) they'll just accept the BS narratives.
CryptoLocker is real. It is a criminal enterprise. The purveyors of CryptoLocker are truly evil MFs.
Who at the PD is opening emails "to track your holiday package"
I work in the computer repair industry and I have seen many iterations of this 'ransom ware'. It always works the same way, the client follows a link and ignorantly installs the virus.
Granted, this particular piece of software is the most malicious to come out of the hacker's TOR, but it still cannot work unless installed.
The most powerful tool we have to fight this corruption is education. I've done everything in my power to inform my clients of this threat and I have yet to see one case of this virus attack any of their computers.
I have been surprised to see the lack of dissemination about how to avoid this virus in mainstream circles. Sure they mention it on the news and in articles such as this one, but where is the actual preventative information?
Basically, my rule of thumb is this: Don't install anything to your computer if you don't know exactly where it is coming from and find yourself a good computer tech who takes the time to research viruses and various other technical issues that evolve at the speed of sound. Make sure that your tech provides phone and remote support as well.
Also, if using a newer version of Windows (Vista, 7, or 8), that you leave the UAC on. Micro$oft knows that their product is vulnerable and have put the UAC in place as an added barrier against viruses and other malicious software.
If you are somewhat patient and take the time to gain a simple understanding of how computers operate, you will never be suckered into a scam such as the 'Cryptolocker' malware.
To reiterate, ransomware is not a new phenomenon. It has been around for at least five years, this particular iteration of it, however, is the most potent to be released to date. All it takes to stop software like this in its tracks is education and a refusal to be a pawn in the digital theft process.
If you were an honest man you would abandon serving evil by making Windows sort of function and move your ustomers to an honest OS.
But that would cost you most of your knowledge power so you keep the status quo.
There were people just like you in 1988 and nothing has changed. They were out there en mass mocking the macintosh while Microsoft made a crappy copy of it that Never worked.
Not sure why they're baffled - this same technique has been used for years. The only difference is paying with BitCoins. Oh, so they're demonizing bitcoins...
