Solving spam starting with shopify vendors

We all know what good biz is… and we know what less than satisfactory means.

Platforms like ebay, etsy, bonanza make effort to reduce or eliminate the possibility of anyone using their system to generate unwanted email AKA ‘SPAM’

It does happen sometimes and they seem to quickly stop it as they hold the ‘account keys’. The messages users send go through their servers and they are responsible for that content for it is generated on their system as part of biz.

SO…

Managing many email servers, I am always looking for a way to stop the extra weight of unwanted emails.

But how do you know ? You are the management of the server, not the recipient…. USER COMPLAINTS.

So, my team tells them… “look in the email for a ‘unsubscribe button’

They often tell me there is not one and most times I know that is not correct.

Along came JONES… a name for a guy who forwarded me his emails and… he was right.Not only was there no unsubscribe, they wanted you to log into/create a account to change your settings. Like we all know that one right ?

Now that kinda stuff gets me excited in the worst way. For you will never solve internet security until you solve this type of SPAM.

Looking through the system as a security measure, I found many coming from similar addresses. I then queried users and wow… did I get a ear-full+.

So I asked around at a small network of webmasters where we share info about such things.

So, we put our stuff together and created a block list of IP’s for shopify email servers. We can update the list faster than they can get new IP’s.

While you might think it is a bit rash to block all of it, but they make their own rules and this has been going on for many years.

It’s not like they have not had time to correct the issue. Marketers market as far as they can get away with. There must be a price paid for lesser behavior if there is no law stopping it.

So…

Here are the IP’s I used in a CSF format for permanent block record.

Good luck in your efforts for a better internet. You might want to warn them before you act rash. I doubt it helps, but just the same.

I can’t tell you what to do, just what I did.

Church – State and Tolerance

The separation of Church and State in the US, by design, was to prevent Religion from creating rules of governess.

It was not designed to keep the state out of religion.

Most of the people who fled to come here were escaping ‘rule by religion’. The same is still going on outside the US and why most do not understand ‘the people’ and their governments of the middle east and surrounding areas.

Gee Wiz, some that called themselves CHRISTIANS even killed-off anyone who tried to read ‘the word of god’ for themselves. 10’s of thousands were put to death for trying to transcribe the word of god to read and understand themselves. So the church kept only the select few who could say what the word of god actually was. (keeping power)

‘Cyrus The Great’ is one of the first notable ‘neutrals’ on religion as he released the Jews, and under his rule, did not care what your religion was.
So the principle goes back to the beginning of the current Judaism as we know it.

Science on the other hand, has been persecuted throughout time.
It came as many names across time like Alchemist, Witchcraft, etc…
Sir Issac Newton was a Alchemist and if anyone found that out, he would have been put to death by the church run state.

To me, it is as simple as the politics we now face.
If everyone were to believe the science, then everything they have hung their faith on is wrong. They don’t want to be wrong so do away with/attack the science.

Tis the same throughout history. Religion is more about power and influence than anything else.

Just be sure you know the difference between a FACT and a Theory. Or be mislead like religion ignores the same to exist.

We must tolerate it all.

Putin is the most powerful man on the planet !

Seal of a traitor

Let me paint a picture, much like some others do.

If one is to believe the dossier, this is plausible. And I will make the point in a few statements.

Shortly after Trump takes office, he has promises to keep.
But a warning shot has been fired that goes back to much earlier agreements.

Putin OWNS Trump. It is clear to see in Syria, Ukraine and the ANTI-NATO stance. No matter how he excuses his actions, it’s all Putin’s bidding.The US and the EU are going to have to shut down the worlds money laundering operations or we truly will all be sold out. MONEY is a very powerful motivator and so is death by poisoning for those that might have a moral objection.

There is your carrot and stick. Now go after those that are waving it around.
Putin is truly the most powerful man on the planet right now. Like it or not.

Have we all forgot ‘The Powell Memorandum’

Nearly 50 years have passed since the original writing. Somehow, it would be my humble opinion that many forgot the targets of neo-capitalist.

So I am here to remind you to re-read and look around you with the original text and copy of the document . If this is the first you knew of it’s existence, you really should pass it along to others in your life’s circles.

Thanks also to others that keep the document alive for others to understand for themselves. Here is a copy of the PDF – Lewis Powell Memo.
