DDG His<strong>to</strong>ry - CREDIT SCAMS<br />
plague the nation. For a number of <strong>year</strong>s,<br />
my software kept y<strong>our</strong> credit data secure<br />
at Experian Credit Reporting. But I can<br />
talk about it now that the NWA’s and the<br />
like have expired. I can say as hard as we<br />
worked, 9 <strong>to</strong> 5 <strong>to</strong> keep it secure, many others<br />
worked 24 x7 <strong>to</strong> steal it.<br />
Today we are entering a deregulated and<br />
so called de-constructed state of a Trump<br />
administration. Which means all corporations<br />
have little <strong>to</strong> fear from consumer<br />
protection laws or enforcement.<br />
While the modern Computer age we have<br />
entered is nothing like the past, we sit as<br />
victims <strong>to</strong> a world of massive consumer<br />
Over the <strong>year</strong>s since the DDG started in fraud, the like of which have never been<br />
1994, new consumer scams continue <strong>to</strong> seen before since Capone live here.<br />

. And it will continue <strong>to</strong> be worse for the as<br />
banks and other credi<strong>to</strong>rs all jump in<strong>to</strong> a<br />
fast and loose credit market is on it way.<br />
Here are a few facts and tips <strong>to</strong> protect<br />
y<strong>our</strong>self and others:<br />
Access Security<br />
• Keep y<strong>our</strong> virus protection on and y<strong>our</strong><br />
system software up <strong>to</strong> date.<br />
• Keep y<strong>our</strong> password secure and randomly<br />
complicated combinations,<br />
Change it often.<br />
• If someone asks you <strong>to</strong> wire money or<br />
provide y<strong>our</strong> bank account information<br />
over the telephone, it’s a scam.<br />
• Watch for Skimmers are illegal card<br />
readers attached <strong>to</strong> payment terminals<br />
— like gas pumps — that grab data off<br />
a credit or debit card’s magnetic stripe<br />
without y<strong>our</strong> knowledge.<br />
• Anytime you have <strong>to</strong> pay <strong>to</strong> get a prize,<br />
it’s a scam.<br />
• Remember the FTC doesn’t oversee<br />
sweepstakes and no FTC staff is<br />
involved in giving out sweepstakes prizes.<br />
They do, however, go after sweepstakes<br />
scams based on y<strong>our</strong> complaints.<br />
If an FTC case results in refunds, you<br />
can find the details at ftc.gov/redress.<br />
If you encounter this or other scams,<br />
report it <strong>to</strong> the FTC at 1-877-FTC-<br />
HELP or ftc.gov/complaint.<br />
• The National Association of Real<strong>to</strong>rs®<br />
want <strong>to</strong> remind you that scammers<br />
sometimes use emails <strong>to</strong> rob home buyers<br />
of their closing costs and personal<br />
information.<br />
Letters text or email from financial institution<br />
are suspicious IF:<br />
They do not greet you by title and surname,<br />
as in “Dear Mrs Smith”.<br />
They never ask you <strong>to</strong> confirm personal or<br />
financial info in an email or text.<br />
Attempt <strong>to</strong> scare you with urgent warning<br />
messages and we never use email <strong>to</strong> warn<br />
you of suspicious activity on y<strong>our</strong> account.<br />
Emails look odd, with a messy layout and<br />
spelling mistakes.<br />

AdamsArtExpose’<br />
THE NUDE IN THE ARTS EXPRESSION OF HUMANITY<br />
AND RESISTANCE TO REPRESSION<br />
The arts have long been associated with<br />
a controversial expression that bumps up<br />
against what current societal norms find<br />
<strong>to</strong> be acceptable <strong>to</strong> good taste or decency.<br />
Censorship has been prevalent often from a<br />
religious emphasis but also from social and<br />
political s<strong>our</strong>ces. Nudity is generally the<br />
controversial <strong>to</strong>pic that is under censorship.<br />
From Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement”<br />
in the Sistine Chapel, which was found<br />
<strong>to</strong> be immoral and unholy by some of the<br />
Catholic faith including Pope Daniele De<br />
Volterra; <strong>to</strong> a 20<strong>12</strong> performance in Moscow,<br />
Russia by a group called the “Pussy Riot”<br />
which proclaimed, “Mother of God drive<br />
<strong>our</strong> Putin”. Police arrested the group and<br />
three members were imprisoned for hooliganism<br />
and inspiring religious hatred. The<br />
three imprisoned were subsequently released<br />
in 2013 after which they performed<br />
with Madona in a protest concert.<br />
The L.A. Pride/Protest celebration last week<br />
featured several go-go dancers <strong>celebrating</strong><br />
their natural body and demonstrating<br />
resistance which was aimed at the current<br />
tyrannical Trump administration. A pho<strong>to</strong><br />
of one of these dancers taken by the pho<strong>to</strong>grapher,<br />
Biron, is included in this article.<br />
All of the arts including music, Painting,<br />
drawing, sculpture, dance, and motion<br />
pictures are needed <strong>to</strong> show opposition <strong>to</strong><br />
censorship and repression. The role of art<br />
and aesthetics in bringing about personal<br />
and collective change has demonstrated<br />
effectiveness. <strong>Now</strong> as much as in any time<br />
in his<strong>to</strong>ry, we need <strong>to</strong> demonstrate that<br />
repression in the form of bigotry, misogyny,<br />
racism, and unfounded censorship is challenged<br />
vigorously. Art and the artists who<br />
create it, and the people who support it, are<br />
in the forefront of achieving a better more<br />
accepting society.<br />
Questions, comments, suggestions, contact<br />
at - adamsartexpose@gmail.com<br />
Censorship is directly related <strong>to</strong> repression<br />
and LGBTQ people are very familiar with<br />
repression. Nudity is an in-y<strong>our</strong>-face way<br />
of expressing individuality in a very personal<br />
human direct manner. Naked bodies<br />
have nothing <strong>to</strong> hide and art using nudity<br />
expresses a variety of themes from the nude<br />
statue of the David by Michelangelo depicting<br />
the natural person taking on the giant,<br />
<strong>to</strong> modern expressive dance, and ballet<br />
depicting a romantic theme of peace and<br />
tranquility.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />
There are a lot of vain people in this world.<br />
You know, the kind of people who think<br />
they are God? Of c<strong>our</strong>se they are the kind<br />
of people who think if you look at them,<br />
smile or at hello <strong>to</strong> them, you want them.<br />
It’s this kind of person that I love <strong>to</strong> play<br />
with. Not sexually. I do a little experiment<br />
if you will. Play a head game in that already<br />
arcade-game-like head of theirs.<br />
Today I was at the grocery s<strong>to</strong>re and<br />
around the corner come “one of those people”.<br />
He sees me looking at him about 100<br />
feet away and I can begin <strong>to</strong> see the ego<br />
glow. In a half a second I looked away and<br />
put a scowl on my face. His reaction was<br />
priceless, as if this middle aged man who<br />
goes <strong>to</strong> the gym, got gawked at daily. In<br />
his mind he had been. Like I said, I’m just<br />
polite. You’ve got the ego.<br />
Well his face wasn’t having it. I decided<br />
<strong>to</strong> check out and who was about <strong>to</strong> get in<br />
my lane? Ego man. He quickly hit the lane<br />
after. It was that slight reaction on his face<br />
that I loved. No it wasn’t a “not behind<br />
the fat, flirty, fag who’ll never get it, Never<br />
get it”. It was a slight sign of rejection. So,<br />
I guess the larger the ego, the larger the<br />
crash. As well it should be. Karma.<br />
Vanity at that extent is disgusting, but<br />
these days, do I bat an eyelash? I assume<br />
everyone is that way. You must assume the<br />
worst in people and that is an awful way <strong>to</strong><br />
be, but it’s how we are programmed and it<br />
sucks.<br />
So, I sit and ponder and wonder, is this<br />
how people are everywhere and should I<br />
move <strong>to</strong> a less egocentric avenue? Or do I<br />
realize that this is how life will be for the<br />
approximately forty <strong>year</strong>s or so I have left<br />
on this ridiculous planet?<br />
Does “Life suck, then you die”? It’s not<br />
exactly a roll in the hay, I’ll give it five<br />
more minutes <strong>to</strong> decide.<br />
Peace, love and Ego,<br />
Jersey<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Well this week The Donald traveled <strong>to</strong><br />
Poland and Germany for the G-20 summit.<br />
Of c<strong>our</strong>se tweeted his normal nastiness<br />
about the 2016 election (one would<br />
think for all his bitching he had lost in<br />
instead of won).<br />
At the summit he spent 2 1/2 h<strong>our</strong>s with<br />
his best bud Czar Putin. Not sure what he<br />
gave away but the Russians were smiling<br />
afterwards. At one point he stepped out<br />
of the summit and who <strong>to</strong>ok his place at<br />
the table....? Not Secretary of State Tillerson,<br />
but his daughter, Ivanka! What<br />
would folks have said if Chelsea Clin<strong>to</strong>n or<br />
Mahalia Obama did that?? Unbelievable.<br />
North Korea continues <strong>to</strong> thumb it’s nose<br />
at us and the rest of the world by launching<br />
an ICBM that could reach Alaska<br />
or Hawaii. Again bluster from the Prez<br />
but no discernible action except complain<br />
China isn’t doing enough. Maybe he<br />
doesn’t realize Alaska and Hawaii are in<br />
the USA or that we have 40,000 + soldiers<br />
in South Korea. God help us all.<br />
Locally Cathedral City and Indio are moving<br />
ahead with public hearings on changing<br />
the way they elect city council members<br />
- from at large <strong>to</strong> district. All this is<br />
being done in time for the 20<strong>18</strong> elections.<br />
Big changes afoot.<br />
I am in Sydney, Australia this week and<br />
next, with the Cathedral City High School<br />
Symphonic Orchestra. 60 extraordinary<br />
young people playing in various venues<br />
including the Sydney Opera House. They<br />
are participating in a 6 nation World Projects<br />
concert <strong>to</strong>ur with young people from<br />
China, Canada, the Philippines, Croatia,<br />
Australia and <strong>our</strong> students from the USA.<br />
They are doing us proud. More on the trip<br />
next week<br />
For now, keep resisting!<br />
Greg Pettis is a 22 <strong>year</strong> city councilman in<br />
Cathedral City. He has made his name in<br />
governmental circles as an expert in transportation<br />
issues and is very active in working<br />
on bringing passenger rail service <strong>to</strong> the<br />
COACHELLA Valley. Greg was the first openly<br />
gay elected city council members In Riverside<br />
County. He has served on the boards of<br />
the National League of Cities and the League<br />
of California Cities and as President of the<br />
Southern CA Association of Governments.<br />
