This is the first draft of this article; I have much more proof, narrating multitudes of so-called coincidences and a lot of screenshots of computing problems, residing on my hard disk, however, the nefarious parties are badly exhausting my musculoskeletal system. I will add more screen shots later. The final document, which should become available within the next 20 to 30 days, has the potential to be significantly more thorough and much more betterr, as well.
