"Pres. Obama: "The audacity of Privacy Pirates!!!""

Wow...

This stuff gets more and more exciting everyday... I have several points that I want to address today so let's get right at it...

First of all, Pres. Obama should stay on health care reform until he "get it done..." He has the best adviser one could have on his team in the person of Hillary Clinton. As first lady, she championed the most wide swiping reform bill this country has ever seen... Health care reform is a bill whose time has come... It is time-out for any more excuses... All that is left is for the President to give the American people a bill they can live with or to die for; if you will, pardon the pun???
Enough said on that...
"Do you feel me???"
"Then let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can..."

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...

Seconly, there is a very familiar scripture in the bible that says: "Psalms 24-9:

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

As a prior military officer, I find this scripture to be a very powerful example of military protocol, discipline, and order... Culturally speaking, all of our military leaders including our commander in chief's have all consulted the bible while making decisions about military force... This often times is the difference between victory and defeat...

This scripture speaks of the importance of the gatekeeper...
Wow...
In this situation as all situations, the gatekeeper is one who is trusted to hold the keys to the kingdom; if you will... This person must be held to the highest scrutiny in order to ensure his trustworthiness... If at any time, this person loses focus or become breached in any way, it is the kingdom that is at risk... Pres. Obama is our gatekeeper to the world... He is expected to be held to the highest scrutiny because we are the kingdom he has been given the power to safe keep... Of course, we have gatekeepers all throughout government and our society at all levels... Anyone who has the ability to let you into anything is a gatekeeper... We as a nation, have lost our since of security even after 911... We are very relaxed when it comes to our personal security... I believe this is "America's Achilles heel..." We take it way to lightly when we hire a hotel night clerk for example... This person technically has all the keys to that particular hotel (Kingdom)... If this person is not one of high moral turpitude, then nothing or no one in this hotel is safe... But (first big but in the room) we as a nation have forgotten the lessons of our past and have allowed "unscrupulous" individual to become gatekeepers... In my post: "Pres. Obama: "What does a gay guy have in common with Patton???"" I spell out a scenario where a gay hotel clerk was stalking me around the hotel... It probably seemed light to some but as a former police officer, any violation of "privacy by these pirates" should be harshly dealt with...
With that said, I am convinced Secretary Gates is the right "gatekeeper" for our military in defense of our national interest... He displays the military aptitude and strategic warfare planning skills necessary to analyze the needs of our troops to not only win but bring this war to a peaceful resolution...
"Secretary Gates, "I salute you!!!""
"Do you feel me???"
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can...""

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
Lastly, now I am sure you have heard of the Erin Andrews peephole voyeur case in the news... This is a really strange case... This again goes back to our relaxed sense of security on all levels... First of all, I am amazed that a woman of such high profile, who I am sure stay in hotels all the time, could allow herself to be victimized in such away... I am a two-hundred and fifty pound African American male who stay in hotels regularly and I take precautions to insure that no one can see through the peep hole... This a security matter for me, not so much that some one will get peek at the "jewels," but ( big phat cya but in the room) more to the fact that it allows a "privacy pirate" the ability to determine when I am in or out... I am not at all a high profile person, yet I choose to stay in hotels with hallway security cameras that work... I also check the peephole to ensure that it actually works properly or a least stick a piece of toilet paper in it...

This case is more about this woman's choices and some would say, "very ignorant choices..." Let me also say that, "I have stayed in many hotels 2 - 4 star hotels in the last five years and I only found one peephole that allowed someone to actually see through from the outside..." I find it amazing that this hotel where this high profile person stayed had improperly installed peepholes and especially one in this high profile individual's room...
Hummmmmmm!!!
I am sure the hotel will do a detail investigation to defend themselves... As my mother always said, "there is always two sides to every story..." I don't want to downplay the significance of this case, "peeping tom" is a crime... In this situation though, there are more things that don't add up than do... Either way, this young lady will profit from this situation... So it is more to her advantage than disadvantage from my point of veiw...
Wow...
I had never heard her name prior to hearing about her case... Now her name is wide spread through-out the world... See what I mean???
If the perpetrator is caught and that is a big if, what will his story be??? I will not be surprised if this person works for the Hotel - "a gatekeeper..."

The most important matter here is that "Privacy Pirates," no matter who they are peeping on must be dealt with harshly... It is our American right to expect a respect to our privacy... We must exercise due diligence in order to keep these criminals out of our stuff no matter what it takes because privacy is our right...
For all who it may concern, security is all of our responsibility...
1-Never assume the door is locked - lock it...
2-Never assume the peephole works properly - Check it...
3-Never assume the room isn't bugged with a video - check your room for strange objects like cameras...
4-Never stay in a hotel without working hallway security cameras...
5-Always put toilet paper in the inside of the peephole to prevent anyone from seeing in...

Dahhhhhh!!!

Ms Andrews will overcome this misfortune, but (big be more careful but in the room) we should all be more careful...
If all else fails, hold the hotel accountable... By law you have a right to privacy, therefore force hotels to do proper security investigations of the gatekeeper they hire for the front desk...

Wow...
"Do you feel me???"
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"
