[cobalt-security] Need some help on "spam" report

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I got a report that our Qube had been used for Spam and as far as I know it
is locked down pretty tight so I don?t know what to make of this. I had one
person on the Dshield list say to check the maillogs and I tried that but
they only go back to 4/16 and this happened on 4/13. Then someone else just
noted that they are not aware of any way to spoof the ?NNTP-Posting-Host?
that shows our IP address in this email and ?You'll have to look for
outbound HTTP connections to posting.google.com from your IP, not SMTP
transactions.?

So how do I do that ?

And is there a way to keep logs from rolling off so fast ?

Thanks and here is the original email notice I received:

The safety and serenity of rec.photo.digital provided an atmosphere
conducive to deprogramming, despite the pandemonium that ensued. Frank Ess
was the first man who not only did not abuse us, but cared for our welfare
and well being. His patient, gentle manner was therapeutic, while his
propensity for handling weapons and apparent intellect kept us safe against
all odds. Through his noble actions, Frank taught Kelly and me that the
world of human interaction in which we had existed for so long was contrary
to most human behavior. We learned that goodness does exist on this Earth,
and that there were those in Washington, D.C. who refused to tolerate the
mind-control atrocities they witnessed us and others enduring.
  
As my eyes opened and I woke up to reality, I became enraged. Enraged for
the traumas inflicted on my daughter. Enraged for a lifetime of abuse at the
hands of our country's so called "leaders". Enraged that the American public
had no idea as to who and what was/is running their country. Frank helped me
refocus my rage in a productive direction when he told me, "The best revenge
is total recovery."
  
I began recovering at the rate of 18 hours a day through intensive therapy
destined to restore my memory and, ultimately, my mind. I learned the ins
and outs of my own mind and recovered my memories in a journal. The stack of
journals grew as over a decade of White House/ Pentagon-level abuse flooded
my mind and intruded on my thoughts. Pictures from my past flashed across my
mind as neuron pathways opened in my brain. I was regaining access to my own
mind and control over my future by recovering my memory of my past.

Best of all, I was falling deeply in love with Frank Ess. Why wouldn't I
fall in love? He rescued my daughter and me from certain demise, restored my
free will, and was helping me recover in total safety, and was the polar
opposite of my abusers. He treated me with love, respect, and thoughtful
consideration . Equally as important, Mark proved to be an ideal father
figure to Kelly. He provided here with unconditional love and deep
understanding. Through him, Kelly caught a glimpse of how kind men could
be--and how good life could be. I had long since ceased to know that such a
man even existed.

The love factor in my recovery is considerable. Not only did Frank Ess save
my life, but now I had a reason to live it! The love we share kept me going
at times--like when Kelly was institutionalized in 1989 for
homicidal/suicidal behavior. The loving relationship that Frank shared with
Kelly during our short year together as a family was sufficient to arm here
with the strength to survive her ensuing ordeal as a victim of the so-called
mental health and criminal justice system.
 
Kelly, now 25, remains a political prisoner in the custody of the State of
Tennessee where she is denied qualified therapy for the MK-Ultra Project
Monarch Mind-Control abuses she endured. The state of Tennessee, under the
politically powerful influence of Kelly's abusers, is in violation of
numerous laws and basic civil rights in their determined efforts to keep
Kelly from qualified therapy and the family she loves.
 
While many of those in positions to make a difference in Kelly's case
operate on a "Need to Know" basis rather than deliberately conspire with the
bad guys, a closer look into Kelly's case history should raise serious
questions in their minds. Questions like; "What could a child have to do
with the so called "National Security" of our country?" The Juvenile court
judge presiding over Kelly's case closed the doors to the media and
onlookers for "reasons of National Security" while gross and blatant
violations of laws and rights ensued.
 
For over three long years, Kelly and I have been denied our right to an
unbiased attorney while court-appointed advocates and so-called "guardians"
join forces with attorneys paid off by me pedophile father. My own
court-appointed attorney, who doubles for the Juvenile Court judge when he
takes a day off, has yet to represent my interest. My interest is in Kelly's
well being and future-- and if she will have a future at all.
 
While Kelly is still amnesic with regard to most of her past, she is
deliberately denied therapeutical access to her past, due to who and what
she will recall. I am denied access to Kelly for fear she would be triggered
into remembering by my mere presence. As for my deliberately "triggering"
Kelly to remember what she was supposed to forget, as her abusers fear, it
has been my experience that recovery must come from the inside out. Not from
outside input. I want no less for Kelly that the piece/peace of mind I have
gained through qualified rehabilitation. Which raises the questions: Why has
the Juvenile court prohibited us from saying the name "George Bush?" Why is
the "Wizard of Oz" a taboo subject for Kelly while the State of Tennessee
provides her with Stephen King horror novels? Why are Kelly and I forbidden
by the court to say the words "Digital Photograph," "Nikon," New World
Order", and "mind-control"?.
 
In an attempt by state employees to "normalize" our relationship, Kelly and
I are forbidden to discuss the past, my immediate efforts to affect her dire
and desperate situation, or future plans as a family.
 
Most appalling and unjust in Kelly's view is the State of Tennessee's
refusal to allow her any contact whatsoever with Frank Ess. While I am
hindered from having private conversations with my daughter due to court
ordered supervisions and censorship, Kelly is denied the right to even wave
to Frank across the parking lot. Considering that, like me, Frank has never
been named as an abuser, declared unfit, or violated any court orders, the
questions must be asked: "Why does the State of Tennessee go to such lengths
to ban all communication between Kelly and the man who rescued her and
taught her the meaning of unconditional love?"
 
Kelly has asked these questions for years to no avail. The State of
Tennessee refuses to even acknowledge her request for"an unbiased attorney
who will represent her interests instead of those of the state". Kelly's
pleas for an attorney to represent her go no farther than the deaf ears of
the assigned state social worker "managing" her case. This social worker is
operating on a "Need to Know" basis that has no basis, and she "Needs to
Know" that she, along with the State of Tennessee, will be held accountable
in the event that Kelly hurts someone or herself.
 
Kelly's frustrations have mounted beyond her ability to cope. I applaud
Kelly for her determined but weakened efforts to stay in control of her own
mind despite being denied qualified rehabilitation for the devastating
results of Project Monarch Mind-Control abuses. Kelly's daily attempts to
accomplish the impossible by psychoLOGICALLY managing her psychiatric
disorder is proportionate to her high intellect and willful determination.
But it is not enough to fend off the Psychological Warfare that has been
waged against her through CIA Damage Containment practices designed to keep
her contained in amnesic silence. She needs help. She needs a collective
voice.
 
Kelly can be helped through public outcry and through abolishment of the
1947 National Security Act (and 1984 Reagan Amendment to same) that has
destroyed the true security of our once great nation. You can write the
State of Tennessee demanding to know why Kelly is being denied her right to
qualified rehabilitation.
 
Thank you. - Cathy O'Brien0
