    Malware or scareware looks for a open port to enter your system. Say the kkk want to use psychological warfare to get new recruits or make the american government feel really intimidated. What they do is write stories that scare everyone using this psychology talking about death or weapons of mass destruction the kkk can hold people hostage. Maybe they don't even have any weapons . They play on peoples fears and anxieties trying too get into your head which is kind of like safe cracking. Maybe it's true. So enter the cyber crime geek malware pastes itself all over the internet. They have many ways to psych people out pictures, expert opinions, video, audio, they can talk about death hypothesize science fiction writers could write whole books about there paranoias, they could get politicians soldiers,civilians, activists for environment, activists for healthcare, activists for humanitarian, activists for children, they could embed pictures , they could use flashing lights , or they could do the rock video thing and have some facsist and some patriotic pictures and splice the two pictures together so you don't really understand what your seeing put the sound of the song and some action sequences mixed with violence , to make the whole video appealing , you may not realize what your doing but your watching a real violent program thats anti american and enjoying it course that, not really malware that's a brainwashing technique.

    Famed Yankees pitcher “Lefty Gomez” once remarked “I’d rather be lucky than good,” but for one Tuskegee Airman, luck and good combined to make him one of the most successful combat pilots of World War II.

    During the summer of 1944, 2nd Lt. Clarence D. “Lucky” Lester was flying the P-51 Mustang over the skies of Italy’s Po Valley providing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers with cover support on their way to attack airfields in southern Germany.

    Lester was assigned to the 100th Fighter Squadron, a part of the 332nd Fighter Group, and had earned the nickname “Lucky” “because of all the tight situations from which I had escaped without a scratch or even a bullet hole in my aircraft.”

    The only African-American ace of World War II, and a former Tuskegee Airman, went on to have a career in the Air Force, as well as success in the business world.

    Lee A. Archer joined the Army in 1941 with high hopes of becoming a pilot, but was initially denied because of his race. When the Army’s policy changed about a year later, Archer was accepted to the training program for black aviators at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama.

    Archer is best known for a day in late 1944 when he was involved in a series of dogfights over German-occupied Hungary. Flying a P-51 Mustang fighter, Archer shot down three German fighters. He would go on to add two more German fighters to his credit to become the first and only African-American ace of the war.

    As a civilian, Archer enjoyed even greater success, serving as vice president for urban affairs with General Foods, as CEO of North Street Capital Corp. and chairman of Hudson Commercial Corp. He also served on the board of directors of Beatrice International Foods and the Institute for American Business.
