    Ask yourself why would anyone want to contact you, let alone be friendly at that.

    How not to get things working incorrectly

    Oh, No, surely it cannot be honestly true and physically dangerous ...... not another foreign body based threat to justify more FUD to use against the home masses and virtually generate the need for seeding and feeding of funds to defence forces who would much rather be sat on their fat and boney asses.

    If you want a cure, here’s a root route to explore ........ https://youtu.be/JjgKkluHXJM?si=SGq1YaXoEEywxnny

      The first night

      They approach

      And pick a flower from our garden

      And we don’t say anything.

      The second night,

      No longer hiding, they

      Stomp on the flowers, kill our dog,

      And we don’t say anything.

      Until one day

      The weakest of them

      Enters our house alone

      Robs us of light, and,

      Knowing our fear,

      Robs us of the voice of our throats.

      And because we said nothing,

      We no longer can say anything.”

      – Mayakovsky?

        One sure way to get things started working correctly ....

        ..... is to avoid the smoke and mirrors of past troubles echoed in present mistakes supplying future possibilities with the fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of ignorance and the doubt rabid and rampant because of the stellar absence of critical tested prior experience and vital virtually shared self-belief/humbling after the fact knowledge aforethought/blessed hindsight.

        And well worth a try any day and in any 0day and new space, Clausewitz4.0, although such as may call upon the utilisation and weaponisation of imaginanation may prove itself a bridge too far for the masses to realise and thus be it up to just a precious few to organise and administer at their leisure and pleasure.

          Everybody loves 0days. I have them and can create many more, as you know.

          I like pu$$y, whiskey and immunity.
