A Digital Era

Chapter 6

Back in Atlanta Chris is getting ready for his morning workout. Nothing like a healthy lifestyle change to reverse ageing for the long haul. He would do cardio often, in between and alone with the endurance and strength training. His weekend being clear and had nothing planed, however he does have to perform work for their business. Checking the account on the platform, he has a couple of orders to fill as his previous shipments runs short and he awaits Charlie’s return. Chris heads out the door, dressed in his runner’s best, ready to get the day started. Beginning his run, never really taking the distance into consideration. Often running based on overall time and healthy mental attitude. Happy with the effort that he puts forth in the beginning, and did‘ant see any reason for overdoing his training. To say the least, he makes the attempt to relax while working out. So the business has been successful so far, buying wholesale from a supplier, a steady and stable supplier and then shipping it back home where they would breakdown the wholesale into smaller individual sales. Receiving payment via crypto currencies, then shipping the products to the customers in random standard packages. Anonymous users they assumed, never advertising weight, only advertising enough for the recreational users, to the weekend party crowd. Small amounts, ideally preferring returning stable customers. People with good intentions in mind. Out there in the world some people seek the power of addiction for their own personal gains, men would use the power accordingly and bad guys. Well bad guys have their own intentions. With all things secure and well for the moment, they all can finally rest easily for the future to come thanks to the increase in finances. The plan so far has been working well, creating financial stability and the ability to see long term growth of the ones involved. It took him some time to find a stable platform, a platform that would keep vendors protected and shielded, rather than exposed and hunted. Chris and Charlie not having the finances, technology or contacts to design their own platform for the world to use. Maybe pulling together, they could have made it happen, however managing their current life was time invested, and they didn’t want to get involved any more than they needed. Attempting multiple methods to contribute to the security, however in doing so achieving no luck. Both deciding it would be best to utilize the other platforms available, in order and already in operation. Just not having everything they needed to go fully independent, but feeling lucky and secure with the platform they discovered. It seemed to be fully functioning and not too controlled by political corruption. A few emails to the admins or the governors of the platform, a few questions concerning vendor activities and just like that he was in constant contact with the platform administrators through encrypted messages, or so the whole world thanks encrypted. Building up momentum for the hill that he was about to face. Over the hill through the valley then not much further and he would be arriving back home, completing the exercise for today. Saving his reserve, using his last burst of energy to navigate the terrain before entering into his cool down phase. Not the longest run ever, however he is pleased with his inner strength and endorphins release. Finish line, reaching a stage in his mind and by the time he has finished cooling down he would have been made it back home. As stories goes on and looking back, it was a rather peaceful activity worth planning for a day off. Not that weekends or weekdays played a major role in their life schedule anymore. Discovering after a certain age and after gaining certain titles in their career, one would have to shape their life around work schedule instead of work around life. The entrepreneur or small business owner who runs their own company discovers that that most every day is a workday when it comes to running a business. Either way we do what we have to do to maintain a successful business, and do the right things to remain successful. Finishing up with the shower, a good old fashion shower after a long hard exercise seems to do the trick. A refreshing moment to himself. Looking at himself in the mirror, there’s a certain emotion he sees and feels about himself when it comes to his online endeavor. I guess one would say we go through a continual state of self-judgmental perspectives. The self-analysis of oneself and how we apply the pressure to ourselves in a strange and unique way. A sense of division between his indoctrinated subconscious, and the acts he performs. Sometimes viewing it as if it's a service to the people, and in many ways it really is. Talking about his vendor account and how he has to check on the status as soon as he completes his shower, and his peaceful towel dry. The emotion would occasionally run through his mind, but slowly ever fading away within his inner self due to the corruption and lies that usually come with the subject. The process of learning more about the business, how it works and putting forward the effort to further advance his relationship with the platforms administrator, has been exhilarating and enlightening. Growing that relationship, discovering more and more truth at a much higher top secret security level, or maybe just integrated corruption at its best with a hint of Christianity to sooth the soul or the fear of incarceration and dangers. Who knows? The shower puts him in just the right state of mind for the operation to come, refreshed and relaxed. With a soothed the state of mind, he decides to have a drink while he's checking over everything, covering the platform and reading over the administration threads. He's going to fix himself some sweet tea just to get the day started, and the refrigerator contained all the right equipment to do so. Chilled tea and a lemon ready for slicing to give the tea a delicious contrast to the sweetness. A bitter sweet flavor and aroma to follow the sweetness of the sweet tea. He takes his seat at his terminal, logging on the security protocols seems to be complex, but really designed to be simple and secure. The basic encryption to keep the state of mind secure however, they all assume there is another system out there that could cause a problem for them. With their trust in faith, their technology remains strong and true. Why worry? Besides how could they stand up against a multinational criminal enterprise that’s builds its security for just these defense and offensive purposes. Think of it as walking by faith and not by sight. The protocols that they have to go through seems to do the trick when it comes to providing a secure means of communication. The anonymous network administrator, the owners of the platform they have chosen to utilize, they usually take a few days to respond, and it’s been a few days since they last made contact, so he was expecting a continuation of that conversation previously. When they first discovered the platform there was very little traffic on the network at all. They turned out to be one of a very few vendors that remains in good standing with the administrators due to the secrets they harbor, think of it as the less people know the better, when dealing with cyber crimes involving the forces. The timing aligned just right and perfectly for them in the beginning, in the beginning the site was constructed around the same time Chris discovered it and brought it to the attention of Charlie. Chris started by researching the possible options that laid before him as far as platforms go, he also went as far as researching his own options, considering designing and building his their own site. Not long after digging deeper he realized it would probably be best to utilize the already operational platform and just contribute to the vendor fees with positive outlooks about the added security. Fear almost crept in once before, deriving from not knowing the platform or the people who run it. Once again making contact in the early stages, provided additional support for the insecurities developed. He feels he has gotten lucky since the beginning, a digital relationship that could very well hold no value at all or all value. Relationships between vendors and platform administrators may be complex at times and often neither party knows nothing of the other, besides its not everyday people develop a well-rounded relationship over such complicated dynamics. I guess his activities also provides additional support, added security and confirmation for the host admin. Nothing major, it’s not like they have invited each other over for dinner or anything. Turning into the sites best quality and successful vendor, the administrator community was happy to except him into their cult. He has eleven orders to fill this morning, all cocaine clients and all returning customers and the thing they love the most is a secure and sustainable source for their fix. Small petty dealers they assumed to the superstar users that wish to remain anonymous. He feels as if he has seen it all now, the secure constant source is now in perpetual demand. Behind the scenes he keeps a well-balanced scale, always calibrating and working from a sanitized work station or a sanitized alter, whatever you want to call it. Gloves and respiration are a part of the quality behind the operation, because there is no one on earth who wants to use dirty and contaminated drugs. Not to their knowledge. Over the past year he has established relationships with a few postal workers, not the kind of relationship that allows you to walk right into their home and open the fridge, but the kind of relationship that says I’m sure glad that I live in such a great country. A few post offices to work from, where he would distribute under the radar in a well-balanced and maintained way. Come to find out, over time, after putting in all the effort, fear alone with paranoia no more. The community networking is absolutely incredible when dealing with drug users and drug supplier relationships. Sealing everything up and preparing the shipment, getting dressed accordingly also helped the inner most insecurities in a way that states fashion is not only a form of self-expression but also distraction and camouflage depending on the ways it's used. Think of how much you would blend in if you walked into a company wearing their uniform, but not on their payroll. You would blend in like the servicemen if your communication skill are up to par. Closing the doors and securing his home, they lead the way down the uncharted terrain of the foreseen futures neutralized drug war. Feeling now after discovering the truth that the childhood indoctrination on the worldwide substance war was totally false depending on lifestyle and acts. Just man understanding man, the needs and desires of man. Addiction! A faded inner strength only noticed from the inside of a properly functioning addict. Just men creating perspective battles from within himself. Now his role is to ship their clients their products, and in day to day life roles we subconsciously don’t even ever think about these packages, it's just a part of commerce. People don’t care why or what you mailing or shipping anywhere. All we know is at the end of the day after all our hard work, we all want to be safe and comfortable in home, and to get a good night’s rest, and also they want their packages on time. The fact that we have not excepted it as a part of the system, well that’s something that we as a society have not done yet, we'll have to do so as a gathered body of worldly residents, or just a state of people, never-mind the thoughts of an entire country coming together for the purpose. Attempting to wake oneself up to the changes accruing before their very eyes, however most are unaware due to the silence within the industry. Like I don’t know your job and you don’t know mine, so whatever, never paying any more attention. Often people are very excepting within the local community especially within the local churches and or cults. Only taking a few months to actually blend into the local community, never causing a large scene and using multiple postal regions for distribution, putting forward the extra effort to avoid possible conflict that would result in him explaining the operation details. Many shipments are shipped daily, a large network to cater to on a day to day basis and come to find out, no one cares. A few hours later he makes it back home, all errands completed for this side of the business. The evening was coming to a close, Chris has been debating to himself this evening about dinner plans and what would be the best idea for tonight’s settling in after a progressive and long day. Going out to enjoy the local nightlife crossed his mind, he has also considered dining out. Sometimes he would feel like preparing his own meals however dining out and having his meals prepared for him sometimes made him feel the right way. Today has been a really smooth day for Chris, progress has been made and happy customers continue to fuel their dreams as Chris and Charlie fuel theirs. The demand fueled by desires, addictions to distribution, recreational to medicinal purposes. However the demand created didn’t bother them much because their awareness of all the problems we all face. The functioning addicts that fuel the world, but that’s another topic for another day and book. The anonymous method chosen as their form of payment is crypto, bank transactions and postal money orders. Multiple payment methods have been integrated into the system to provide another layer of added security, anonymous prepaid cards and the prepaid gift card for the prized retailer. They have built themselves quite an intricate network. Giving the evening careful consideration, he decides that it would be more spiritual fulfilling for himself to prepare his meal for himself on this chosen wonderful evening. What better way to bring the evening to a close? Back up town at the market he contemplates what would be a great dish for the main course, deciding he would just hang around the house and prepare his own meal, standing in the isles browsing throughout the selections continually debating on what he wants. Deciding he would choose a steak and potatoes with a side of vegetables. Then the decision was made and tonight’s dinner has been decided. Friendly conversation holds him up for a minute in the market but it was ok he didn’t mind being social at all in public. People are the reason, he actually encouraged it in the right situations. Small talks covering the weather, traffic or the next best deal they have going on for the week’s sale. All caught up on the market gossip and the newest sales and deals to be had for the time, smiles and contact with people goes a long way. Back home in the kitchen consolidating all he needs to begin his preparation. The dinner goes well, his culinary skills remain up to quality standards in his opinion, and the additional spices added really did the trick for the taste buds. After dinner Chris finds himself relaxing around the house, the sun is fading and another nigh begins to set in upon him. He often finds himself on his terminal, browsing through threads and forums alone with other social media content that could provide him the intellectual edge. He as well has relationships to maintain, emails to respond to and families to check up on. He would sometimes spends hours and late nights browsing the internet. Trading news, unusual content, platform maintenance, customer support and sometimes just good old fashion web browsing and research. Sometimes he would begin by getting his coffee fix, just to settle down at his terminal to begin his long night of cyber work. Coffee in one hand and mouse in the other. Chris began, the work never stops, it seems like sometimes that he works at work, works at home, working while awake and working while asleep. The bills were paid, money in the bank and no longer a looming feeling of insecurities about finances were there, replaced with a much different state of mind. Everything begins to feel as if it's looking up for the great, for the long-term great. The possibility of freedom in the future, freedom from money burden or worries and the ability to purchase a little something extra on a shopping trip just because they have a little more money to spend. Hey what could they say, they were people just like you and me. Insecure people who deserve a chance in life. Financially unfree men and women who deserve a chance. Viewing their world with a certain perspective that says everything. Very aware of the viewpoints and what stereotypical man would say. Let's face it, the culture was changing, people no longer seen the substance as the contributor to any harm. The evil are the contributors to harm. Greed, power and man’s selfish ways are the contributors to the darkness that pollutes the substance trade. They were all working on changing as a people the very best that they could. No war or drugs and no hate at all, only hard working men and women maintaining their medicinal behavior and thriving within the local economy. Preying to a higher calling at the end of the day and not worrying, the complexities of man's jealousy fueled wars, shrouded beneath politics. Only peaceful worldly citizens with dreams and plans of living the Americana lifestyle. Just another successful healthy day alive, free and healthy, willing and able to help and now financially able to help some troubled people in small ways. The state of mind, that a majority of the population shares, covering the spoken topics, are perspectives that deserves some looking into for deeper understanding to build upon the long-term problem resolution. A certain percentage sees the light at a different angle, and the angels shared I agree could use deeper insight, to integrate, to apply learned perspectives to be put into play for the futures fabricated war diffusion. A rather large society, a large nation of individuals divided due to political and social pollution. We see the world more free than it currently is, more liberation and just. Proud of our ability to see and distinguish our wrongs and or sins we commit, or so the opposing party would label us to have or committed. Proud of our neighbors and proud of our friends and family. The future youth is not only being taught a certain ways, some would say their being contaminated with false dreams, and implanted with failed indoctrination's from their forefathers. How we should see the world, only to understand one self view. To understand freedom and have the ability to choose to live care and worry free, of others crooked power plays. Freedom to choose not to get involved with disputes over greed and materials, the invaluable things man seems to value. What is valuable, is the time we waste on our perpetual bad habits, our addictions that shape us more than would like to become aware of. And how our addicts also has their own perspective to provide, covering the economic value of themselves and others like them, and how they, we and you sustain it. At the beginning and the end of everyday, most users just want to remain in a secure and happy state of mind. Some use to motivate their life, some use to motivate their mind, some use to express their inner artistic side through music, the canvas and many other methods. And some just don’t use at all. It's a large market driven and powered by civilian and military workers alike, only to be kept in secret among it's inner societies. From stone masons to market traders, the bed is comfortable, the pillows are soft and the climate controlled home is awesome in the heaven state of mind. Whatever temperature you would like your castle to remain, you have the option to do that. The money that covers the insecurities and luxuries is good, secure sleep is nice, secured both by the thought of money and the ever expanding market securities that finally gives the break in the market. A thriving economic system now sharing its wonderful bounty with them. Technology and advanced items all around, luxury items that we now know is a luxury. Things from the latest phone to the latest sports package and their chosen dish or cable provider. Extra money for the latest internet subscriptions to call out pizza at a moment’s notice. Extra money to carry the family out to eat on a special occasion and be able to cover the whole bill. Simple luxuries like that are more than enough to accommodate his desired results for the long haul involving money earned and how its spent. The bed becomes a lot more comfortable because of these facts, and the security once again brings peace to the end of every day. Lying in bed he couldn’t help but think about the next level in life, the next level would involve family and possible children. Emotionally desiring a family, a time or two deep inside, curiosity overwhelms him and the emotions take over, what it would be like, he asks himself. Sleep brings his night to a peaceful end as he closes his eyes, daydreaming, resting into silence.
