Open Letter to Yahoo, Mail, Gmail and Amazon KDP Publishing

 Open Letter to Yahoo Mail,

Gmail and Amazon's KDP Publishing.

 

All three of them have gone Paranoid?

 

I am currently in Australia.

When I travel I usually carry a USB stick installed with Puppy Linux.

This is my private Internet connection at airports.

I did not do that this time round.

I am not paranoid and do not use TAILS or KALI. 

 

I downloaded Puppy Easy OS based on Void (Independent Linux OS) and wanted to access my blog post to post something good about Easy OS.

It configured our wireless.

Yes it had my favourite browser FireFox and I accessed Google search engine to sign in with my gmail account.

Google treated me inhumanely, like a Robot.

I am finishing three books and I wanted to access my author page but I had to go through the Amazon Books, a big Rigmarole and I HAD to waste my money giving a call to Amazon.

They are promoting (now their money ) my books liberally and my cellphone is inundated with promotions of my own books, often three times the price, I intended for the reader to pay.

Except my scientific and special books I want my books even in digital form to be cheap.

Worse scenario is, I am being stopped by a telephonist at Amazon Head Quarters with bogus paranoia.

I use several phones in fact about 10 (15 SIMS) cellphones and left all of them except one in CEYLON and Amazon is asking for a particular number I have not used for nearly (for security reasons) 20 years.

Without that cellphone number, I cannot change, to another SIM number, I have in my hand (Nokia Phone) for direct communication.

My wife who is in Ceylon cannot trace it. 

She is planning to visit us and I won't write any more books for few months and equally I won't be able to publish the one's I have already finished.

I did not foresee this scenario!

Now I have to go back to Ceylon to formalize my dealing with Amazon, paying a BIG SUM to Singapore Air Lines.

Unfortunately my Royalties  are not enough to cover  the air ticket. 

I do not expect to earn millions writing dirty and vulgar stuff in my twilight years and I have enough to live on my own without royalties.

I think, I may consider building my own Publishing House with a bit of my knowledge in Linux using a FreeNAS Server.

The Internet intended to be FREE to access and Educational at its inception.

It is no more.

I have never been paranoid, in spite of some Guys in Ceylon stealing my cheques (from Amazon) in post. 

They could not cash them with my timely intervention.

Yes, cyber-crimes are there.

There were robber barons throughout our modern history including in politics.

But there are lot of good guys in this world, too, especially in Russia.

Yes one of my intentions is to travel to Russia and see the real life in Russia (not Americas).

I have already started learning Russians but their alphabet is difficult.

For heavens sake, DO NOT be PARANOID and DO NOT let the AI System takes hold of humanity.

This is already happening in China and I have no intention of visiting China.

This piece I am writing with disgust.

Money is their ONLY GOAL.

That leads to decadence!

That is normal throughout human history.
