An Actual Occurrence Just A Few Nights Back 2014 10 10
"Did you miss me Ryan"?
"Seeing you now in front of me. Yes".
"Your just always so up in the nano".
"Yeah Girl. Pretty Much. Except way up into the wee. Seemingly for sure when I'm cribbin alone. Out the wild blue, night terrors grab me by my very soul. Images as solid and real as actual flesh. Pulling me down into deaths abyss".
"Aww Baby. On a Psychological plain, this frightening realty like talons have grown so very deep into the core of your psyche due to all the death you have witnessed. The blood and human parts spread over a lifetime. Now add this to your unwanted, by birth depth into the 4th dimension. It's all breaking loose in your quietest of times".
"Phew. Well put I guess. You scaring me Girl".
"Oh Baby. No more concerns regarding the night. From now on, throughout your slumber we will be melted and merged together as one".
"Damn Girl. Ya gettin me all horn dawgged up".
"Your so bad Mr. One Track. You for sure are a Dawg Mr. South Central".
"Yeah. Da Hood grabs another Brentwood Socialite".
"Uh Huh. Lucky Me. Come on. They're serving coffee in the courtyard".
"Awight. Lets go".
Ryan and Shondra begin there short walk across the street to the courtyard of the mission.
"It's so strange Baby".
"Whats strange Shondra"?
"We are both born and bred SoCal Kidz.
Me up in Brentwood.
You in South Central.
Two worlds, galaxy's apart.
Yet here we are knowing each other in a so committed way transgressing all social economic boundaries.
Two separate paths colliding together".
"Yeah. For sure.
Me a War Dawg.
You an Anti-War protester".
"I hate when you bring that up.
What I mean is worlds away regarding upbringing.
Yet here we are locked up in this Love Thang'.
"Damn Girl. You gettin me all bothered and hot".
"You so incorrigible Dawg"
"Look at you. All South Central on my ass".
"It's just that rub off thang you got.
What is the chance Ryan.
Just out of the wild we run into each other in the 21st century?
Here up in the mountain high.
How long have you been coming to this sky high place"?
"Since I was a kid.
Actually, a young teenager.
1966.
It was then that I stumbled across this Mission."
When Ryan was up high in this most spiritual of places he stayed at the Mission.
A place he considered drenched in some sort of ancient spirituality where all were protected and safe.
It was at that hour of the day.
Where seemingly the powers that control the rise and fall of earth's essential rays were up in some sort of spiritual debate.
That instant when dusk begins her blanketing dance over the planet.
Dusk upon Ya.
Shondra and Ryan approach the courtyard.
"Ryan. A lot of commotion coming from the courtyard".
"I see that Shon. Hmmm"
Sitting on an iron bench is a young man.
Mexican heritage.
About 5' 6" in height.
Tight, Thick in build, like a bull.
Hanging from his right arm is a gauge bandage, completely unraveled.
An open, deep, long wound.
Blood letting slightly.
The arm had at this point, abscessed close to 2 1/2 times normal size.
Ryan takes a quick visual.
He notices an employee on his cell phone.
Ryan Tunes in for a nano.
The employee is on with 911.
There is a small crowd around the kid.
Ryan makes his way to the wounded young man while he more or less physically disperses the crowd.
"Ya All need to stand back.
Quite down. I am an experienced Combat EMS".
That was how it all flew, calmly, out of Ryan's mouth.
"O.K. Son.
I'm an experienced combat Marine Officer.
You are going to be alright.
Tell me what happened".
"I been shot.
Two days ago.
I tripped and fell about 20 minutes ago.
The bandage came un done".
"O.K. I'm going to have an ambulance here to transport you to the hospital".
"No. No.
I'm not going.
No hospital".
"Talk to me Son.
What's going on"?
"No hospital. No hospital".
"Tell me. Why no hospital"?
"Cause I owe them money from two days ago".
"Son.
Everyone owes the hospital money.
You seriously need medical attention".
Ryan checks the Kid's forehead.
He is burning up.
Ryan then gets a quick read on the kid's pulse.
Through the roof.
Ryan pulls off his his fleece lined hoodie and drapes it over the kid's shoulders.
He bends over close to the young man.
Speaks calmly.
Very slow.
Very deliberate into the young man's ear.
"Son.
You need to trust me.
I am a Marine Combat Officer.
You are in very serious condition.
I understand you are scared.
We are going to get through this.
You Need To Trust Me".
"No Hospital. No Hospital".
"O.K.
Without immediate medical attention you are going to loose your right arm.
Your arm is abscessed almost 3 times it normal size.
You are in severe shock.
Do You Want To Keep Your Right Arm"?
"Yes. Yes. Yes".
"O.K.
Trust me.
I'm going to get you out of here.
I will ride in the ambulance with you.
Trust me.
O.K."?
"O.K.
I trust you Sir".
"Great.
My name is Ryan.
Everything is going to be alright".
"O.K. Ryan".
Ryan's face is up close to the kid's face to hide any and all commotion happening around them keeping this frightened young man from heading deeper into shock.
Then out of the damn wild blue.
One person yells:
"The ambulance. The ambulance".
Then a crowd joins in.
The kid picks up a bag.
Jumps up and bolts.
"Fuck.
Son of a bitch.
Get outta my way damn it".
Ryan takes off after the kid.
Grabs his Android hitting 911 as he runs after the young man. The Android is not at all steady in it's dialing mode.
The digital input screen is not taking the read from Ryan's hand as he runs with the kid.
Ryan throws the Android to the ground as he grabs the kid's shoulder.
Ryan retrieves his flip phone from his other front pocket, hits 911.
"911 Operator. What is your emergency"?
"I am with a gun shot victim.
Subject is on the run.
I am with him.
We are proceeding west up a dirt alley across the street from the Old Mission.
Subject is experiencing extreme shock.
He is very frightened.
Gun shot wound is to the upper right arm.
Blood letting.
His arm has abscessed.
It is 3 times larger at this point than normal".
"What is your 20 at this moment Sir"?
"Still west up the dirt alley approaching main, just south behind the smoke shop.
O.K. I have visual on the Fire Truck.
Shit. We are now north up an adjoining dirt alley.
O.K. I have visual on the ambulance at the end of the north alley.
Fuck"!
"What is it Sir"?
"Subject has spotted the ambulance.
We are now proceeding south up the north south alley approaching the east west alley.
Son.
You need to stop right now.
You need help".
With that the kid turned west towards the north south alley as both the fire truck and the ambulance pulled up in a clearing just north of the smoke shop.
As Ryan and the kid passed the EMS vehicles, Ryan held up his phone so that the Paramedics could see the cell phone's light.
EMS started to call out as Ryan and the kid ran north up the long dirt alley.
Ryan looked back down the alley to see 7 EMS personnel standing about 15 feet deep inside the alley with their hands in the air as if waiting for instructions.
Ryan yelled into the flip phone.
"911 Operator.
Tell EMS personnel to enter into the alley and give pursuit to me and the subject".
"Sir that is negative EMS is waiting on a visual".
"Fuck".
Ryan and the kid were about 35 feet from the end of the alley and were approaching a street.
Ryan had to make a quick decision.
The young man's shock level was completely off the wire.
As well the kid's fright, of something, was not going to let this kid cease his escape mode from whatever.
Ryan also knew that Anaphylactic Shock was just around the corner.
Once that happened the kid's existence in this dimension diminished greatly.
"911 Operator.
I am going to head south up the alley.
I have visual on EMS.
Tell them to start to come towards me".
Ryan proceeded.
The kid actually stopped his escape for a minute.
The problem was EMS was not advancing.
Ryan turned around to see the kid look back at him.
Then take off up the alley to the street.
Ryan turned and again gave pursuit to the kid.
Before he could get to where the kid was, the kid turned left at the street.
Disappeared.
"Sir. Are you there"?
911 Operator bellowed.
"Yes Mamm.
The subject has disappeared 911.
In the wind".
Ryan closed his flip phone.
He then went to tracking the kid.
He heard two voices, looked to his left, saw a light.
It was two young men from the Mission.
"Sir, we have a flashlight".
"Good. You come with me".
Ryan and one of the young men took off through the mountain rugged streets.
Through fields.
Then all of a sudden noticed a small light approaching.
They waited for the light to come up on them.
It was a Patrol Officer on a bicycle.
"Whats going on gentlemen"?
The Patrol Officer inquired.
The young Mission employee broke it down to 'Poe'.
'Poe' got on his radio.
Then ran Ryan and the Mission employee.
"Alright Guys.
Here is your I.D.
We got this now.
Thank you for your assistance".
Ryan and the young man walked away.
"That was a good job Sir.
You did the best you could".
"Yeah.
If that's the case the kid would have been in an ambulance by now.
I should have never left his side.
Son of A Bitch".
"Sir.
It is not your fault".
"Fuck dat.
That kid is going to die out here because I was derelict of duty. Muthufucker".
"Sir. Honestly.
You could not have done any more.
Stop here.
Let's pray".
Ryan and the young man held hands in prayer.
The young man prayed what needed to be prayed.
They continued on.
They came around a corner and there was Shondra talking to another Bicycle Patrol Officer.
Ryan and the young Mission employee came up on Shondra and 'Poe'.
Shondra handed Ryan his Android and hugged him tight.
They walked back to the Mission in silence.
Ryan did not sleep the entire night, but instead blamed himself for the kid's fate of possibly dying out in the street.
When Ryan awoke there was Shondra with a cup of coffee.
"Good morning Baby. How did you sleep"?
"Like shit.
Fuck me.
I let that kid down".
"No you didn't Baby.
You did all you could".
Ryan sipped the hot coffee with a 'Green Blackberry ' tea bag floating on the top.
Ryan reached over for his Android.
Grabbed his ear-buds.
Hooked them up.
He went to hit the button on his Android to engage some music.
"What you listening to Baby"
Ryan shows her what he is about to play.
2pac.
'Gansta Party' and 'Live and Die In L.A.'.
"Baby. You ain't nothing but an Old Hood Rat".
"Copy Dat Girl.
You Can Take Da Boy Out Da Hood.
You Jus Can't Take Da Hood Out Da Boy".
2Pac - Gangsta Party ft. Snoop Dogg (Concert) "Live At The House Of Blues"

Suspected Russian Cyber Spies Targeted NATO - R. Lemos, Ars Technica
Suspected Russian “Sandworm” cyber spies targeted NATO, Ukraine
Microsoft patches 0day vulnerability after attackers use it to hack targets.
A group of cyber spies targeted the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), Ukrainian and Polish government agencies, and a
variety of sensitive European industries over the last year, in some
cases using a previously unknown flaw in Windows systems to infiltrate
targets, according to a research report released on Tuesday.
Dubbed "Sandworm" by iSIGHT Partners, the security consultancy that discovered the zero-day attack, the campaign is suspected to be Russian in origin based on technical details, the malware tools used, and the chosen targets, which also included government agencies in Europe and academics in the United States. If confirmed, the attack is an uncommon look into Russia's cyber-espionage capabilities.
"We can confirm that NATO was hit; we know from several sources that multiple organizations in the Ukraine were targeted," said John Hultquist, senior manager of cyber-espionage threat intelligence for iSIGHT. "We have seen them using Ukrainian infrastructure as part of their attacks."
The Sandworm Team, named because its members include references from Frank Herbert's Dune series in their code, also used a previously unknown software flaw to compromise some targets. Using the security hole, the Sandworm group could execute their attacks on systems running up-to-date versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows RT. Microsoft plans to release a patch for the flaw during its regular updates on Tuesday.
"The power of the exploit is pretty substantial," Hultquist said. "From talking to some people over here, they have had a hard time writing signatures for it, and the attack does not crash anything. It's subtle."
Ironically, Windows XP, which Microsoft for the most part no longer supports, is not vulnerable to the attack.
This is not the first time that details of the espionage group's activities have been reported. The group landed in the news in September, when pieces of the operation were described by antivirus firms F-Secure and ESET. Those companies discovered that a relatively well-known spam and bank-fraud tool, known as Black Energy, had been used by the attackers to compromise systems and steal data.
"We have observed over a hundred individual victims of these campaigns during our monitoring of the botnets," Robert Lipovsky stated in ESET's initial analysis of the campaign in September. "Approximately half of these victims are situated in Ukraine and half in Poland, and they include a number of state organizations, various businesses, as well as targets which we were unable to identify."
Originally created seven years ago as a denial-of-service tool, Black Energy became a popular attack tool for Russian and Eastern European cyber-criminals. The program is not the first to be repurposed for cyber-espionage. An up-and-coming banking trojan named Dyre has become popular as a tool for espionage.
The antivirus firms' original analysis did not find signs of the 0day exploit, according to iSIGHT Partners, which discovered the issue in August and worked with Microsoft to identify the vulnerability.
The attackers made use of a variety of software flaws in addition to the 0day exploit, in some cases chaining together attacks on two vulnerabilities to gain the necessary privileges to run code on the targeted system—an increasingly common practice, iSIGHT said.
The security consultancy tracks at least five apparent Russian groups that focus on cyber espionage.
The Sandworm Team targeted NATO as far back as December 2013, while attendees to a global security conference were targeted in May of 2014. In June, a Polish energy firm, a French telecommunications firm, and other critical industries were targeted.
