Every one of us can feel it.</p><p>It feels like the &#8220;Ante-Armageddon Age&#8221;, a time just before the fall of humanity. We seem to be standing at a crossroads, with several possible futures stretching out before us.</p><p>There is one future in which the Technocracy takes control and enslaves mankind. There is another in which the United States pushes too hard, and World War III<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> ends in the radioactive wastelands of a civilization destroyed by its own weapons. There is another possible future in which humanity becomes freer and more prosperous than ever before.</p><p>Anything is possible, right?</p><p>Right now, inflation is turning lifetimes of savings into increasingly meaningless numbers. Our government often treats us like criminals waiting to cross a line that it not only created, but surrounded with cameras so it could watch for the moment we stepped over it.</p><p>The future looks dark and that darkness seems to be creeping in from every direction.</p><p>We are constantly told that the darkness is the fault of our fellow citizens and neighbors. People who, despite agreeing on many of the basic things we want, happen to have slightly different ideas about how to get there.</p><p>Think about what most of us actually want.</p><p>We want to be free to do what we believe is right. We want to support our families, live in safety, raise our children in a secure environment, and leave the world and the lives of the people around us, better because we were here.</p><p>Someone once described these aspirations as the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.</p><p>The most important word in that sentence may be <em>pursuit</em>. There are no guarantees. Happiness isn&#8217;t promised. Success isn&#8217;t promised. But we are given the freedom to pursue them. To try, to fail, to learn, and to try again. I believe we all understand that instinctively.</p><p>Perhaps the worst part of living through this dark time is that we have been so thoroughly misled, manipulated, and bombarded with conflicting messages that we have lost sight of who we are.</p><p>We are riddled with self-doubt. The programming we absorb through television and media, combined with the way many of the people entrusted with supporting, serving, and representing us treat us, has caused us to forget our own worth.</p><p>So allow me to remind you, just a little, of who you are.</p><h4>You were not simply born into this time. You were born for it.</h4><p>That same Creator who gave you your inalienable rights placed you here, in this particular moment, for a reason.</p><p>You have been given what you need to help make this world into what you believe it should be.</p><p>You are not a victim of these times. You are only a victim of your own self-doubt.</p><p>If you want to remember who you are, remember these things:</p><ul><li><p><strong>You are not your past.</strong> You are the person who learned from it.</p></li><li><p><strong>You are not your previous failures.</strong> You are the person who learned what doesn&#8217;t work.</p></li><li><p><strong>You are not your previous successes.</strong> You are the person who learned what does work.</p></li><li><p>And ultimately, who you are is who you become in the face of darkness.</p></li></ul><p>That&#8217;s it.</p><p>That&#8217;s who you are.</p><p>In the face of darkness, some people will become cowards. Some will become corrupted. Some will become heroes, ordinary people living through extraordinary times who did what they could, with what they had, to make the world a better place.</p><p>So, how does someone become part of that last category?</p><p>There are many answers, but I&#8217;ve come up with a few ideas that might help.</p><h3>1. No One Is Fearless</h3><p>Fear is an important emotion. It exists for a reason. Fear can keep us alive.</p><p>It only becomes a problem when we surrender ourselves to it. When we allow fear to make our decisions for us.</p><p>Feel the fear. Acknowledge it. Then let it wash over and through you. Notice it as it passes.</p><p>Only then, when it has passed, decide what to do. Do not let fear make the decision for you.</p><h3>2. No One Is Born Unequal</h3><p>We are all born equal. Not into equal circumstances, with equal resources, or equal opportunities, but equally human.</p><p>No one is inherently more important than anyone else.</p><p>There is no superior subspecies of humanity that has the natural right to rule over another.</p><p>We may have different talents, different circumstances, different beliefs, and different responsibilities, but beneath all of those differences lie the same fundamental human strengths and weaknesses. Accept that. </p><h3>3. No One Deserves Injustice</h3><p>We are born with a sense of fairness.</p><p>We can suppress it. We can rationalize around it. We can convince ourselves that injustice is acceptable when it benefits us, but we shouldn&#8217;t.</p><p><strong>Treat other people as you wish to be treated.</strong></p><p>It isn&#8217;t a complicated philosophy. And yet, if enough people actually practiced it, it would go a long way toward making the world a better place.</p><h3>4. No One Should Ever Be Silenced</h3><p>If we want to discover real solutions to our problems, we must be willing to explore every possibility, even the ones that make us uncomfortable.</p><p>Nearly every great idea humanity has ever come up with, began as an idea that someone else thought was strange, foolish, impossible, or simply wrong.</p><p>Progress requires people willing to challenge conventional wisdom.</p><p>If we silence every voice that disagrees with the group, we eliminate the possibility of discovering something new.</p><p>If we&#8217;d silenced every voice, we&#8217;d probably still be living in caves, trying to figure out how to keep the cold and darkness outside.</p><p><strong>You don&#8217;t have to agree with someone to allow them to speak.</strong></p><h3>5. No One Is Elite</h3><p>See #2.</p><p>No one is inherently more human than anyone else.</p><p>No one is born with a greater claim to the lives, liberty, labor, or dignity of other people.</p><p>Titles, wealth, power, education, fame, and position may give someone influence.</p><p>They do not make that person more human or a better human.</p><div><hr></div><p>Are these five principles sufficient to solve all of our problems?</p><p>Of course not.</p><p>They&#8217;re merely suggestions about where we might begin.</p><p>Almost forgot one. Well, it&#8217;s at least something that you should try to keep in mind,</p><h3>6. You were made for these times.</h3><p>You know what you want.</p><p>When you strip away all the noise, what you want probably isn&#8217;t all that different from what I want.</p><p>We want to live.</p><p>We want to be free.</p><p>We want to love and protect the people who matter to us.</p><p>We want the opportunity to build something better.</p><p>There are many ways to get there. We don&#8217;t have to agree on every step. All that matters is that we keep moving toward a better place.</p><p>So, don&#8217;t surrender to the darkness.</p><p>Don&#8217;t let fear make your decisions.</p><p>Don&#8217;t let you or anyone else convince you that you&#8217;re powerless.</p><p>Don&#8217;t let disagreement turn your neighbors into enemies.</p><h3>Remember who you are and then go do your thing.</h3><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blastedreality.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Blasted Reality is a reader-supported publication.

</p><p>What I can&#8217;t do is recreate the characters. The best way I can describe them is like teeth with a variable number of nerve posts going downward. I can&#8217;t tell if the characters are 2 dimensional glyphs which are constantly changing or if they are 3 dimensional glyphs that are rotating, although I lean pretty heavily on the latter interpretation.</p><p>I have now been attempting to draw these characters out for months and this has been a nearly daily task, but I have failed utterly in capturing them. I used to drink heavily and there is a known type of brain damage caused from alcohol consumption that destroys one&#8217;s ability to recreate angles from visual to physical representations and I am guessing that this might be my problem here.</p><h2>Where to from here-</h2><p>At this point, I am looking for volunteers to use my set up and attempt to draw the characters out. Hopefully, I can find someone in the area who is interested in the project and willing to help. If you are reading this, are close to Albuquerque and would like to give this a try, I can be reached at nwaddesign@gmail.com. Let me know.

Also, one actual pledge came in. These interested individuals made me weigh the pros and cons of adding one or two paid subscription tiers. Being that 90% of my &#8220;Life&#8217;s Work&#8221; is done for zero monetary gain*, I figured &#8220;What the Hell. Accept it when offered!&#8221;  </p><h2>*</h2><ul><li><p>The music I produce is published on every possible streaming service, but is also published for free on my main website </p></li></ul><p>https://andiwest.com</p><ul><li><p> as well as my <a href="https://www.bandlab.com/andiwest">Bandlab.com</a> profile.</p></li><li><p>The 5 books of the Rhymespree Bible are available on Amazon, but until I sell some unknown number of them, Amazon will not suggest them to anyone and the only way anyone can find them there is if they know exactly what to type into the search box, ie. &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+rhymespree+bible+by+And+Vendetta+West&amp;crid=FDBZRM5O2IJK&amp;sprefix=the+rhymespree+bible+by+and+vendetta+west%2Caps%2C196&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_1">The Rhymespree Bible by Andi Vendetta West</a>&#8221;. So, sales have been.. um.. lackluster is a good term for the sales total.</p></li><li><p>Catering events that I do are invariably for things like memorial services for the deceased relatives of friends and similar pro bono events, so not making any money there. </p></li><li><p>My successes in alt-media publishing have been oddly timed, such as the 50 million downloads of my 911 movie, The Produced Reality&#8221; happened the same year that Google bought Youtube. Needless to say, I was self hosting the video.  So, the viral success actually cost me a fortune in bandwidth fees (along with a marriage and everything I owned at the time) which I do not believe I have actually paid off yet. </p></li><li><p>And my inability to pester people for moneys owed for IT and tech work means I have only ever been paid for about 30% of my invoiced &#8220;payments due&#8221; during my professional work in that field. I also, never made a dime for the 2 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Paranoia-Windows-Security-Essentials-ebook/dp/B01A013K7I/">IT Security books I co-authored</a> (Read as, I authored under someone else&#8217;s brand). </p><p>I know, this is 100% on me. I just can&#8217;t bring myself to demand to be paid for my work. I think it is a combination of severe imposter&#8217;s syndrome, plus a general disinterest in financial gain. I don&#8217;t actually believe money has any intrinsic value and it can all disappear in a day, no matter how hard one works to accumulate it.</p></li></ul><p> And those are my reasons for enabling payments on the small chance that I may make a buck or two, but I most definitely will not be pay-walling anything I write or publish here because I am writing and publishing here for the purpose of disseminating alternative information regarding global events and the corruption of our systems and governments. </p><p>You may now return to your regularly scheduled activities.

I also do not know anyone else who has ever done it once. </p><p>If I had known about Kratom, I could have gotten through both experiences without the severe trauma and resultant PTSD that living through that hell caused me. </p><p>Being that they invented and unleashed methadone on the public, it should come as no surprise that these sadistic kid fuckers want to ban Kratom.</p><p> Watch this video and notice that this is the scariest way they could find to frame kratom. Notice that the worst they could mention was &#8221;withdrawal and cravings&#8221; because no one has died from it. Yes, 100,000 Americans die every year from opiates and Kratom gets addicts off of opiates, but they will ban it because some kids might feel bad when coming down. Brilliant!!

No worse than the withdrawal symptoms of weed. </p><p>Heroin- 3-5 days of cravings, chills, sweats, the extreme symptoms of severe food poisoning, insomnia, pain, and discomfort. </p><p>Fentanyl - 10-12 days of heroin like withdrawals, but symptoms are intensified. Sans IV or rectal water intake, one will not survive the experience due to severe dehydration. </p><p>Methadone- 35+ days of the previously mentioned symptoms, all at least 10x more intense, plus the added bonus of severe sleep deprivation causing psychosis starting on the 2nd week of the 5 week Season in Hell. Multiple other mental illnesses develop during the span, including suicidal ideation.  Like fentanyl, without alternative hydration, you will die. </p><p>Inmates in county jails across the county are increasingly dying from dehydration from kicking methadone or fentanyl while awaiting trial. This cruel and unusual punishment is happening more and more often each year. The victims tend to be addicts, not criminals and are in the system for possession charges which should be a flag to the jails that extra care is needed to prevent illegally executing them with an agonizing death penalty due to a bullshit unconstitutional prohibition violation. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

On one side you have people doing what they want with their own bodies. On the other side you have kidnappers and murderers violating the rights of 1,000s of otherwise law abiding citizens and inflicting damages to persons and property including but not limited to loss of all property and loss of life itself. So, do not think for a second that the law enforcement  side is the honorable or moral side. They are guilty of crimes against humanity, daily, in support of a clearly unconstitutional agenda. </p><p>It took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol sales. Banning the sales of other recreational chemicals requires the same legal framework, which is not in place and never has been. The government does not have the right to tell you what you can and can't have in your blood stream. There is no clause in the Constitution empowering vice cops, the DEA, and other professional buzz kills to harass, abuse, kidnap, and murder American citizens over chemistry. </p><p>That's my rant  for today&#8230;.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blastedreality.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Blasted Reality!

Magnesium and aluminum car parts liquify and run down the road. Automotive glass pools or in some places, evaporates, all of which require temperature ranges over a 1,000 degrees F above what can be produced by a wildfire, yet the wildfire fuel, trees and plants, do not burn. Forest fires spread by sparks and ambient temperatures. That ambient temperature does not get above 1,500 degrees F. It takes 2,600 degrees F to twist steel. If the ambient temperature hit that level, white oak would be ash, but instead we have pine surviving the fires while magnesium rims and engines run downhill as a liquid. </p><p>That is because the fire is not natural and ambient, it is microwave.

This means that the shots available to inject are left over from the last years supply<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a>. Last years flu shots had an abysmal 30% efficacy when the flu they were based on was going around<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a>. The flu taking over Lackland is most likely not the flu chosen for the shot last year which means that the efficacy would be even lower, but let&#8217;s go ahead and be generous and say that it was. So, given that and that 40% of the recruits were jabbed, what is the difference between 40% and 100% jabbed rate in actual effect. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Well, what could cause these symptoms?</p><p>Let&#8217;s ask Grok-</p><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>Non-pathogenic (non-infectious) causes of flu-like symptoms (such as fever/chills, fatigue, body aches, headache, malaise) include several categories beyond viruses, bacteria, or other germs.</p><p><strong>Medications, Treatments, and Vaccines</strong></p><ul><li><p>Cancer treatments: Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy commonly cause flu-like symptoms as side effects.</p></li><li><p>Vaccines: Many vaccines (e.g., flu shot, COVID-19) can trigger temporary flu-like symptoms.</p></li><li><p>Other drugs: Interferons, certain antimicrobials (via Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction when killing bacteria), Botox injections (in some cases), and others.</p></li><li><p>Drug withdrawal or discontinuation: Abruptly stopping antidepressants (discontinuation syndrome), caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines can cause aches, fatigue, headache, nausea, and chills.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Autoimmune and Chronic Conditions</strong></p><ul><li><p>Autoimmune diseases: Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and others often involve systemic inflammation leading to low-grade fever, fatigue, muscle/joint pain, and malaise.</p></li><li><p>Chronic illnesses: Fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), anemia, thyroid disorders (e.g., hypothyroidism), and long COVID can produce persistent or fluctuating flu-like symptoms, sometimes with post-exertional malaise.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Lifestyle and Environmental Factors</strong></p><ul><li><p>Stress and anxiety: These trigger muscle tension, fatigue, headaches, nausea, chills/sweating, and a general feeling of illness. Chronic stress can also weaken immune defenses.</p></li><li><p>Dehydration: Can cause fatigue, headaches, body aches, dizziness, and malaise.</p></li><li><p>Sleep deprivation or overexertion: Often leads to profound fatigue and achiness.</p></li><li><p>Cold exposure or temperature changes: Can mimic chills, stiffness, and fatigue without infection.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Other Non-Infectious Causes</strong></p><ul><li><p>Carbon monoxide poisoning: Early symptoms often feel exactly like the flu (headache, fatigue, nausea) but can rapidly worsen; this is a medical emergency.</p></li><li><p>Allergies (e.g., hay fever): Can overlap with respiratory symptoms and fatigue.</p></li><li><p>Post-surgical or procedural reactions: Including organ transplant rejection.</p></li></ul></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>I think we can rule out a few of those, but poisoning definitely fits the bill. </p><p><strong>How about EMF radiation? </strong></p><p>Funny thing is, from 1980 to 1983, a man named Eldon Byrd <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a>ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, MD. "We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it." Byrd, a specialist in medical engineering and bioeffects, funded small research projects, including a paper on vortex weapons by Obolensky<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a>. </p><blockquote><p>By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation-the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum-he found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor," he says, by hitting them with these frequencies. "we got chick brains-in vitro-to dump 80 percent of the natural opiods in their brains," Byrd says. He even ran a small project that used magnetic fields to cause certain brain cells in rats to release histamine. In humans, this would cause instant flulike symptoms and produce nausea. "These fields were extremely weak. They were undetectable," says Byrd. "The effects were nonlethal and reversible. You could disable a person temporarily," Byrd hypothesizes.<strong> "It would have been like a stun gun."</strong></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>But we don&#8217;t have weapons like that, do we?

(Not A Space Agency) faked a manned mission to land on the moon. We know this to be impossible due to the Van Allen Belts, the 24,000 mile wide band of concentrated solar wind which will cook a full human being to medium in 4-5 minutes. To solve that problem, NASA says that the Apollo missions traveled at 24,000mph, which means they would have  cooked the astronauts 20x over, but hey, when has math ever stopped propaganda?</p><div id="youtube2-XYtmddQpOGw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;XYtmddQpOGw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/XYtmddQpOGw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>The Space Shuttle Challenger Lesson</h3><p>On January 28, 1986, in classrooms all across the US, a special event was held where the usual classes were cancelled, so that all of the students could, instead, watch the live TV broadcast of the Space Shuttle Challenger Launch. </p><p>This was an unprecedented curriculum interruption that quickly turned into a nation wide trauma and psychological conditioning psyop.

There&#8217;s no part of the plane with enough material strength to push back and due to the velocity, the physics governing the crash are best understood as a Hydrodynamic Impact<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>: At 550 mph, the collision enters a regime where the materials behave like fluids. The aluminum skin of the plane shredded, but its mass continued forward, exerting a stagnation pressure<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> on the steel columns.</p><h3>High-Velocity Hydrodynamic Phase-</h3><p>At the impact speed of 550 mph (approx. 806.6 ft/s), the collision occurs in a regime where the kinetic energy of the materials exceeds their structural yield strength by orders of magnitude. For a fraction of a second (roughly 0.1 to 0.185 seconds), the aircraft did not respond as a rigid solid but as interacting fluid.</p><h3>Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) of Jet Fuel-</h3><p>The approximately 9,100 gallons of jet fuel on board Flight 175 were the primary fluid involved in the hydrodynamic breakdown. One must use Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> to understand the fuel&#8217;s path. As the wings disintegrated against the steel perimeter columns, the fuel was atomized into a high-velocity mist. This &#8220;liquid cloud&#8221; retained significant momentum, allowing it to penetrate through the building. However, unlike solids, the SPH particles tended to &#8220;bounce&#8221; and splash off internal structures rather than severing them.</p><p>Additionally, one must factor in the Hydrodynamic Ram (HRAM) Effect<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a>- While the aircraft was not a projectile in a fluid tank, the impact created a version of the Hydrodynamic Ram effect. The rapid displacement of air and the atomization of fuel created a high-pressure pulse. This pulse was strong enough to blow out windows on the opposite side of the building. The fluid fuel that was pushed back out of the tower due to these internal pressure changes ignited into the iconic, massive fireball seen in footage of the South Tower. There is no simple way to fake the fireball that was seen by 1,000s of eye witnesses who were in Manhattan that day.</p><h3>The load transfer from the aircraft to the building should be analyzed as a dynamic flow of energy-</h3><p>Within the first 0.1 seconds, the nose and forward fuselage penetrated the wall. Between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds, the heavier wing sections and engines (which contained the bulk of the fluid mass and kinetic energy) impacted the interior, completing the full penetration of the building in under .2 seconds.</p><p>Also, 9-11 was an operation based on the previously suggested, but not implemented &#8220;Operation Northwoods<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>&#8221; which the Joint Chiefs of Staff presented to JFK as a way to start a war with Cube. In that plan, US commercial aircraft would be hijacked and flown into iconic American structures. That plan was clear in the intent to murder the passengers in the process. There is no logical reason why the US Government would not just use the Home Run Software to take control of the plane and fly it into the South Tower. Any attempt to fake such an impact would be so much harder to pull of than simply hitting the South tower with a plane, that it renders the hypothesis complete implausible.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blastedreality.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Blasted Reality!

powerful thing. Please note that everything described here was provided to regulatory agencies and law enforcement shortly after the events occurred. To the best of my knowledge, nothing was ever done with the information, which is fully par for the course in the Land of Entrapment. (At this time, our award winning<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> local police openly</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a><em> and admittedly</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a><em> manufactured crack</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a><em>, accepted worn items of clothing in exchange for it, and then arrested their homeless victims for felony possession to &#8220;Help them out!&#8221;, for Christ&#8217;s sake!)</em></p><p><em>Also, while the contracted firm signed NDAs, I did not. This appears to have been a catastrophic oversight. I am unbothered by that unforced error.</em></p><h2>Back to the story-</h2><p>After repeated violations of HITECH (The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>) the digital side of HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a>), designed to prevent hospitals from doing exactly what these guys were doing, the Center had recently been fined $1.5 million by the HHS Office for Civil Rights<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a>. </p><p>We were brought in to assess and fix cybersecurity, business processes, compliance, policy adherence, and operational behaviors such as device management, disposal, and secured communication practices, with the goal of stitching up an open data wound oozing patient PI (Personal Information) like it was starring in a Hellraiser flick and forcing the Center into the kind of compliance remission necessary to be worthy of being called a medical institution.</p><p>This was ambitious, to say the least.</p><h2>The Soon to be Former IT Department</h2><p>What we discovered was an awe inspiring commitment to professional negligence.</p><p>Their in house IT team spent most days playing catch with a baseball and engaging in lively discussions on every subject except information technology, cybersecurity, patient privacy, or federal law. They were basically running a tech themed daycare center, minus the supervision and moral responsibility.</p><p>When I say what we discovered was unbelievable, I am not being hyperbolic. It was genuinely baffling that the department had not already been shut down by federal agents storming the building while shouting acronyms.</p><p>We uncovered evidence of wire fraud, unauthorized database access, malicious code injection into medical records, installation of EMR backdoors, identity theft, and credit card fraud. In short, they had assembled what can only be described as a Greatest Hits compilation of federal crimes.</p><h2>The Point of IT All?</h2><p>What I was able to put together from what we found in the on-site PCs, pre-un-non-shredded paperwork and, of course, what arrived in the mail, they were actively mining patient data to apply for credit cards in the names of terminal patients. Apparently, someone saw end-of-life care and thought, </p><p>&#8220;<em>You know what this really needs? Identity theft.</em>&#8221;</p><p>Needless to say, our first recommendation was to fire the entire IT team, immediately. Instead, they fired most of the IT staff. The head of IT security was placed on four weeks paid leave, while her security credentials remained active and she retained full remote access to all systems. During this time, her keys were used to download gigabytes of patient data.</p><p>In most organizations, suspicion of these kinds of activities results in immediate credential revocation and a brisk escorted walk to the parking lot. Here, it earned a paid vacation and unlimited data access. Management clearly believed in something. What? I have no idea.</p><h2>Testing Location Security</h2><p>The building had no fit-for-purpose camera or security system.  It did have exactly one security camera, pointed at the IT Department door, wired to a Raspberry Pi with a wireless network connection. We never found a client app for it anywhere.</p><p><strong>The following is just one example of how badly they failed all of our tests. </strong></p><p>During one routine test, I obtained a vendor key card from the front desk without signing for it or even so much as telling the receptionist who I was. The following Saturday, I returned when the building was closed and used that card to access every secured area in the facility, including the side entrance and the room containing the nuclear medicine storage lockers, which were unlocked and unguarded, but not empty.</p><p>This is a Department of Homeland Security violation<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a> so severe it should reasonably be expected to result in permanent closure and the arrest of responsible staff members and managers. This resulted in zero actions by DHS after they were informed. I guess they were busy elsewhere.</p><p>To bring this point home- Their system treated every key card as a permanent, unrestricted, all-access pass. No logs. No tracking. No accountability. The security model appeared to be: <em>I really can&#8217;t be bothered with this right now.</em></p><p>Although I was assigned my own staff card with photo ID, I continued to use the vendor card, exclusively, until we finally corrected that issue. </p><h2>Device Security</h2><p><strong>Retired Devices and Equipment- </strong></p><p>Several rooms were filled with dismantled laptops, desktops, and servers, harvested for parts so IT staff could build personal machines for themselves, their friends, and assorted staff members. We know this because we found several unfinished gaming builds, a couple fully built machines, and thank you notes. </p><p>A hard drive shredder existed on site, presumably as a decorative sculpture. It had never been used. Policy and law mandate that health care drives be destroyed before disposal. Instead, they were casually recycled into offsite personal systems, allowing patient records to roam freely across Albuquerque like lost pets.</p><p><strong>Active Devices and Equipment-</strong></p><p>The $1.5 million HITECH fine stemmed from a stolen laptop left logged in at the front registration desk. The doctor who absentmindedly left the MacBook there, disliked logging in repeatedly, so IT kindly configured the machine to bypass security* altogether. After an initial sign in, he would remain signed in to the machine, the network, and the EMR archives until the machine was turned off, because convenience is the cornerstone of cybersecurity. The only surprise here was that the police were notified of both the theft and the potential unauthorized access specifics.</p><p>*This wasn&#8217;t a one off. We found many systems set up this way.</p><h2>Secure Communications</h2><p>Now we arrive at the truly horrifying part.</p><p>The most worldview shattering part of our deliverables turned out to be this, &#8220;ascertain compliance with secure communications protocols&#8221;. This involved the read through of hundreds of email threads between doctors, staff, and administrators.  I wish I&#8217;d passed on this part of the project. </p><p>Reviewing internal email communications revealed exactly zero discussions about improving patient outcomes. Instead, conversations focused on strategies for-</p><ul><li><p>Upselling patients into more expensive treatments</p></li><li><p>Pressuring consent for experimental procedures</p></li><li><p>Justifying additional unnecessary testing and treatments</p></li><li><p>Entirely exhausting insurance benefits</p></li><li><p>Encouraging debt acquisition to pay for more treatment</p></li><li><p>Extending treatment plans until financial resources were fully depleted</p></li></ul><p>There were frequent discussions of life expectancy, emotional resilience, physical decline, and optimal revenue extraction timelines, but no mention of their promises of reduced spread or remission ever coming to fruition. They congratulated one another on billing achievements, never on patient recovery.</p><p><strong>This was not healthcare. This was hospice flavored vulture capitalism.</strong></p><h2>Connecting Crimes</h2><p>These conversations theoretically aligned with the IT department&#8217;s identity theft operations. The timing of fraudulent credit card applications would need to match patients&#8217; desperate attempts to finance continued treatment, ensuring that when patients died, families inherited a mountain of debt alongside their grief, with no way of knowing that a few of those expended credit card limits went to buying jewelry, home electronics, and gift cards they would never see. </p><p>I did not find direct written orders from administrators instructing IT to commit crimes. I did, however, find multiple random emails from Center administrators to IT staff containing Amazon wish lists, filled with expensive personal items, with no discernible professional justification.</p><p>Coincidences, of course, happen all the time.</p><h2>The Results </h2><p>After roughly 120 days, we brought the Center back into regulatory compliance and successfully appealed the $1.5 million fine. Within minutes of the appeal being granted, our contract was terminated, our access revoked, and since that day, our outstanding invoices ignored. Totaling over $80,000.</p><p>They also promptly rehired key members of the former IT team, despite being shown overwhelming evidence of their criminal activity. This last act, frankly, brought everything full circle. Like a very expensive, deeply unethical, morally unhinged, federally regulated, but not visited carousel of grief and misery. </p><p>You may wonder how they sleep at night, but I know that&#8217;s what the Ambien and Trazadone are for. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blastedreality.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Blasted Reality!
