New Psychiatric Study

A study conducted by the Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.

However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

Further studies are expected.

(not sure why but, thanks, Joanny!)

Stabbed In The Back

(sigh) They say that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". This is especially true of Benevolent Dictators. They tend to forget that they are only the figurehead. Their job is to rant and rave, to project the political image of the BMEWS.

The troops down in the trenches (c'est moi) are the ones who build blog sites, configure stylesheets, manage mail lists, update polls, fight off spammers, handle advertising & promotions, maintain key contacts within the blogosphere, etc., etc.

Our Benevolent Dictator (Villymar) has decided to conduct a libelous campaign against the BMEWS Propaganda Minister who is as fine a human being as you would ever care to meet (not to mention very handsome and highly intelligent - as opposed to the Benevolent Dictator who only bathes once a month and whose IQ wouldn't even come close to a decent earthquake on the Richter scale).

In accordance with the above, The BMEWS Propaganda Minister has issued the following proclamation:

1- Due to the recently disclosed fact that Villymar is actually a "closet Democrat" in disguise (and even worse, with liberal tendencies), he has been demoted to BMEWS Bat Catcher.

2- The Imperial Propaganda Minister (c'est moi) has been promoted to position of "Caesar" in honor of his unflagging support of President Bush and the Conservative cause.

3- The NY Yanquis are hereby cursed with the "Curse Of The Moonbat". They will not be allowed to win another World Series until the next century and they will be the Boston Red Sox' bitch from now on.

4- Before Villymar is allowed to crawl out of his spider-hole, he must write "I LOVE THE CUBS" 1000 times on the blackboard.

5- All Cubs fans are hereby declared "Honorary Citizen Soldiers" of the BMEWS. Cardinal fans are on probation. Yanqui fans are outlawed.

So it is written, so let it be done!

By order of Caesar
XXVI JULIUS MMIV

Now, I must mount my chariot and return to Cancun Baghdad Teheran Riyadh Paris Boston Ft. Meade Langley Cheyenne Mtn. Vandenberg AFB .... aw fuggit, I'm at a secret undisclosed location. That's all I can tell you.

The BMEWS Bat Catcher had better be on his toes from now on. Ashcroft and Runsfeld have allocated resources to me to keep an eye on him. He will be advised to concentrate on Moonbats or Caesar will throw him to the lions.

Allan Rejoins the Fold

Damn Yankee Fans! Damn them all to hell! Especially the ones who sneak up behind your back and spout drivel about the suckiest team in baseball. Especially when you're supposed to be enjoying life here by the pool in Cancun.

I think I'll call Juan over and have him bring me another pina colada while I contemplate a suitable punishment for Vilmar after I return and stage the palace coup. Deepest, darkest dungeon sounds like a good start .... hmmmmm .....

Mwah-hah-ha-ha-ha-ha ......


We're sorry for any confusion caused by this posting. Our Minister of Propaganda is on the road pursuing moonbats and other terrorists (to tell you anything else I'd have to imbed deadly code into this post that would kill you as soon as you read it.)

Suffice it to say he was stressed out yesterday. He had a few too many after having bagged a large quantity of moonbats and forgot the heartfelt conversation he had with me prior to his departure and how it saddened him that he left without telling his audience of his deep loathing and disrespect for the Cubcakes baseball team.

As repentance he's asked me to attempt to make amends and begs your forgiveness for his crass conduct. He was so choked up all he could send me to relay to you were these iconographic images:

Stopping the Politics of Hate?

You may be wondering, "why does hypocrisy seem to be the best word to describe Democrats?"

The answer to that is quite simple: it is all they are; it is all they know; hypocrites are all they can be.

For example, unless you've been offline, and not watched TV or read the newspaper (hmmm, nevermind, those last two wouldn't have covered this anyway) you've seen news regarding The Poodle's personal bitch give a little speech in Pennsylvania touting the virtues of hate politics:
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics. My prayers....(ellipses mine) are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation." ."

And what does this high-brow billionaire bitch do right afterwards? Tells a reporter to "shove it!"
Hmmm, that's really swell. Isn't it wonderful when we practice what we preach! Nice way to endear yourself to those masses you claim to represent.

A bit "animal farm-ish", eh? Then again, isn't that what hypocrisy is all about? OHHHH!! HEY!!! Well, I'll be! Look at that! IT IS!!!

The Heroes of the Left

The way the left idolizes Bill Clinton you'd think he were the Christ's second coming--he can do no wrong. When he speaks, people get dreamy eyed. When he appears they idolize him. Women want to have his baby. For all I know males in the Democrat party ........(on second thought, let's not go there.)

Why the hero worship I wonder? Is this really how the liberal mind works? Free from the encumbrances of morals, ethics, common decency?

Take, for example, recent happenings.

As if it's not bad enough you have two of your high level officials (Berger and Deutch) caught red-handed with classified documents but what does it say about your ability to choose people to be on your staff when you fuck up so regularly, who have such disregard for the security of the country they profess to love?

Then we had, a couple of days ago, Hazel O'Leary get escorted off an airliner for causing a ruckus (OBTW, she was Clinton's Energy Secretary)

Now I just read that (guess who?) Clinton's AIDS czar has just lost his license to practice medicine. His charge? Possession of controlled substances.

Of course, the Dummycraps will say it is a vast right-wing conspiracy that these people have been caught doing this.

Think about it. If Clinton's top leadership and prominent, high visibility Democratic operatives are getting caught in these sort of activities, can you just imagine what the minions are up to, running around, undetected, corroding and eating away at the underpinnings of the foundations of our country with wanton disregard for consequences down the road.

If ever there were scumbags unfit for leadership and positions of authority, these are those people. Yet they will all figure prominently at the Dummycrap convention this week, albeit behind the scenes.

Why I Favor Selective Termination

There are times that try mens' souls and we live in those times. I don't know about you but the level of rhetoric and hatred on the left goes beyond anything I've ever witnessed.

My logical mind can not understand why, if someone dislikes our President so much, that they favor policies that can only weaken the United States, take actions in public forums that display their disdain for this country, and openly advocate the ruination of this country simply to prove their point. These shitbirds would vote for the Poodle knowing what the harm he will do to our nation with his intentions to turn us over to the UN rather than vote for someone they really don't prefer but who ALWAYS puts America first. They do not realize that America DRIVES the economy of the rest of the world. If we fail, chaos would reign for decades. But to them all that is preferable to President Bush.

So who's on my shitlist now?

None other than the same bitch who claims global warming kills more Blacks than Whites, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Dummycrap from Texas, She has petitioned Secretary of State Powell to intervene with Kofi Annan and request UN observers monitor our 2004 election.

And yes, she was one of the original petitioners direct to the UN making this request several weeks ago. They rejected it saying it needed to come from a government entity like the Secretary of State or the Election Commission.

So she decides to write to Powell. This bitch is proof positive of my first 2 paragraphs above.

One question: Why hasn't this barking moonbat been taken out behind the barn and had the shit beat out of her yet?

Quote of the Day

France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. Mark Twain
France has usually been governed by prostitutes. Mark Twain


On This Day in History


1908 The Office of the Chief Examiner, which in 1935 became the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was created.

1952 Argentina's first lady, Eva Peron, died in Buenos Aires at age 33.


1947 Truman signs the National Security Act
President Harry S. Truman signs the National Security Act, which becomes one of the most important pieces of Cold War legislation. The act established much of the bureaucratic framework for foreign policymaking for the next 40-plus years of the Cold War.
By July 1947, the Cold War was in full swing. The United States and the Soviet Union, once allies during World War II, now faced off as ideological enemies. In the preceding months, the administration of President Truman had argued for, and secured, military and economic aid to Greece and Turkey to assist in their struggles against communist insurgents. In addition, the Marshall Plan, which called for billions of dollars in U.S. aid to help rebuild war-torn Western Europe and strengthen it against possible communist aggression, had also taken shape. As the magnitude of the Cold War increased, however, so too did the need for a more efficient and manageable foreign policymaking bureaucracy in the United States. The National Security Act was the solution.

The National Security Act had three main parts. First, it streamlined and unified the nation's military establishment by bringing together the Navy Department and War Department under a new Department of Defense. This department would facilitate control and utilization of the nation's growing military. Second, the act established the National Security Council (NSC). Based in the White House, the NSC was supposed to serve as a coordinating agency, sifting through the increasing flow of diplomatic and intelligence information in order to provide the president with brief but detailed reports. Finally, the act set up the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA replaced the Central Intelligence Group, which had been established in 1946 to coordinate the intelligence-gathering activities of the various military branches and the Department of State. The CIA, however, was to be much more--it was a separate agency, designed not only to gather intelligence but also to carry out covert operations in foreign nations.

The National Security Act formally took effect in September 1947. Since that time, the Department of Defense, NSC, and CIA have grown steadily in terms of size, budgets, and power. The Department of Defense, housed in the Pentagon, controls a budget that many Third World nations would envy. The NSC rapidly became not simply an information organizing agency, but one that was active in the formation of foreign policy. The CIA also grew in power over the course of the Cold War, becoming involved in numerous covert operations. Most notable of these was the failed Bay of Pigs operation of 1961, in which Cuban refugees, trained and armed by the CIA, were unleashed against the communist regime of Fidel Castro. The mission was a disaster, with most of the attackers either killed or captured in a short time. Though it had both successes and failures, the National Security Act indicated just how seriously the U.S. government took the Cold War threat.

The Little Red Hen

Once upon a time, on a farm in Arkansas, there was a little red Republican hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat. She called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"

"Not I," said the cow.

"Not I," said the duck.

"Not I," said the pig.

"Not I," said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. And so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.

"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.

"Not I," said the duck; "Out of my classification," said the pig; "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow; "I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.

At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.

"That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."

"Excess profits!" cried the cow. "Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. "I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. The pig just grunted in disdain.

And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy."

"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.

"Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants.
But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand."

But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her.

She never again baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free.

And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared, as long as there was free bread.

(thanks to Ana!)

Way To Go LANCE!

Lance Armstrong did it again! Sixth Tour de France victory!

BRAVO, Lance! Six wins! The only person to do it in 101 years!


In what can only be called taking a no "pussy-boy tactics," Lance, knowing he did not need to win yesterday's time trials kicked ass anyway proving to the world we are not to be trifled with in matters cycling. It also sends a message to those girly-men responsible for our kids' athletic programs in our school systems--you know-- those sissified athletic directors who try to teach kids not to beat the shit of their opponents in a competition as it is not "fair" to pick on weaker teams. Yeah!! Those nancy boys! Hopefully some of them will see this and try to instill some of Lance's qualities in our kids--know what you want, work hard for it, and kick everyone's ass in the process of achieving it.<


You gotta love it.

Even more delicious is that he's beaten the French like red-headed step children in this event. The same Frenchy-french coward bastards that wouldn't support us in the war on Iraq. Oh, and even better, guess what? The Germans get left behind, too! Serves those asshats right. How fitting. Both France and Germany get their asses kicked.

Frenchy-french pansy boy Jean-Marie Leblanc nailed it when he said of Lance's win:
``It's an improvement in the method of approaching the Tour de France -- more professional, more rigorous, more methodical. In a word, more American.''

Guaranteed to Piss You Off

For your reading pleasure and gratuitous blood pressure elevation I present you with this gem. It's another instance where liberal asshats in this country will take any issue and twist it such that the incident which took place is a right-wing plot to demean and be mean-spirited.

In this story, the Poodle goes to Detroit to kiss socialist ass (remember now, DETROIT--home of the BIG THREE! Home of BLUE COLLAR MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS that The Poodle professes to be in touch with) and what logo is on the press-pass?

A ROLLS-ROYCE!!! ROTFL!!!! What a hoot! How absolutely stupid!!!

When asked about it, Kerry spokesman David Wade said.
"it was unintentional error by a campaign volunteer"

UNINTENTIONAL ERROR? Does that fucktard work for Sandy Berger, I wonder?

He then went on to criticize President Bush's economic policies by saying,
"I could say that the Rolls-Royce is the perfect symbol of who got the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, but sometimes objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear"

Do people actually fall for this crap? Oh, yeah! A man of the "little people!" Uh-huh!! He drives Rolls-Royces, has three multi-million dollar homes, a personal jet at his disposal, his wife is worth a billion or so, all his friends are rich and I am supposed to believe he shares MY values? Are Dummycraps so bloody stupid they believe this nonsense??!?!?!

The stupidity goes on:
"Under President Bill Clinton, our strong economy actually helped bring Rolls-Royce jobs to the United States for American workers"

Excuse me while I go hurl my breakfast. This goes beyond the pale for sheer chutzpah!

EEEWWWW!!!!

The Army has inadvertently developed a way to inspire our combat troops to actively seek out and relish bugs and grubs whenever they are in the field. How? By the introduction of a new MRE-PO.

"HUH?" you say?

Yep, Meal-Ready-To-Eat---Peed On. I shit you not (or is that, I piss you not!)

The meals come with a built in filter so when a trooper is hungry, he just pees into his packet and "voila!" no heating of water required, food ready in minutes!

I can see them lining up for this one already!

P.S. The process by which the water filters down into the food is interesting, though!

Liberals Accept Responsiibility for Killers

In response to a letter to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive taken during the Afghanistan war, the following response was sent:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20016

Dear Concerned Citizen:

Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees, currently being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. My administration takes these matters seriously, and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like you, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the "Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers" program, or LARK for short. In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.

Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday. Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of admonishment. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.

Ahmed's meal requirements are simple, but we strongly suggest serving meals that do not require utensils, particularly knives and forks. Also, these should be "one-handed" foods; Ahmed will not eat with his left hand since he uses it to wipe himself after purging his bowels (which he will do in your yard) - but look on the bright side.. no increase in the toilet paper bill. He generally bathes quarterly with the change of seasons, assuming that it rains, and he washes his clothes simultaneously. This should help with your water bill.

Also, your new friend has a really bad case of body lice that hasn't been completely remedied. Please heed the large orange notice attached to your detainee's cage: "Does not play well with others." Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his "attitudinal problem" will help him overcome these character flaws.

Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. He will bite you, given the chance, but his rabies test came back negative, so not to worry. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clipper. We do not suggest that you ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with your wife or daughters (except sexually) since he views females as a sub-human form of property. However, he will be eager to assist with the education of your sons; have available for their use, several copies of the Q'uran. Oh and rest assured he absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. He prefers them roasted, but raw is fine, too, if they aren't more than 2 or 3 days dead.

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you, who know so much, keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. We think this watching over each other's shoulder is such a good way for people to interact that we will be sending a team of federal officials with expertise in your line of work to your place of business soon, just to help you do your job better. Don't be concerned that they have the power to close your business, seize your property, and arrest you for any violation of the 4,850,206 laws, codes, regulations and rules that apply to your profession. They're really there just to make sure you're doing everything the proper way. That is what you wanted, right?

Well, thank you for this opportunity to interact with such a valued member of the citizenry. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember...we'll be watching.

Cordially...Your Buddy,

George W. Bush


If only this were true!

1956 Italian liner Andrea Doria sank after colliding with the S.S. Stockholm

At 11:10 p.m., 45 miles south of Nantucket Island, the Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria and the Swedish ocean liner Stockholm collide in a heavy Atlantic fog. Fifty-one passengers and crew were killed in the collision, which ripped a great hole in the broad side of the Italian vessel. Miraculously, all 1,660 survivors on the Andrea Doria were rescued from the severely listing ship before it sunk late the next morning. Both ships were equipped with sophisticated radar systems, and authorities were puzzled as to the cause of the accident.
At 10:45 p.m., the Stockholm showed up on the Doria's radar screens, at a distance of about 17 nautical miles. Soon after, the Italian ship showed up on the Stockholm's radar, about 12 miles away. What happened next has been subject to dispute, but it's likely that the crews of both ships misread their radar sets. Captain Calami then exacerbated a dangerous situation by making a turn to port for an unconventional starboard-to-starboard passing, which he wrongly thought the other ship was attempting. About two miles away from each other, the ship's lights came into view of each other. Third Officer Johan-Ernst Bogislaus Carstens, commanding the bridge of the Stockholm, then made a conventional turn to starboard.

Less than a mile away, Captain Calami realized he was on a collision course with the Stockholm and turned hard to the left, hoping to race past the bow of the Swedish ship. Both ships were too large and moving too fast to make a quick turn. At 11:10 p.m., the Stockholm's sharply angled bow, reinforced for breaking ice, smashed 30 feet into the starboard side of the Andrea Doria. For a moment, the smaller ship was lodged there like a cork in a bottle, but then the opposite momentum of the two ships pulled them apart, and the Stockholm's smashed bow screeched down the side of the Doria, showering sparks into the air.

Five crewmen of the Stockholm were killed in the collision. On the Andrea Doria, the carnage was much worse. The bow of the Swedish ship crashed through passenger cabins, and 46 passengers and crew were killed. One man watched as his wife was dragged away forever by the retreating bow of the Stockholm. Fourteen-year-old Linda Morgan was asleep on the Doria when the impact somehow catapulted her out of bed and onto the Stockholm's crushed bow. She was later dubbed "the miracle girl" by the press.

With seven of its 10 decks open to the Atlantic waters, the Andrea Doria listed more than 20 degrees to port in minutes, and its watertight compartments were compromised. A lifeboat evacuation began on the doomed ship. The evacuation initially went far from smoothly. The port side could not be used because the ship was listing too much, which left 1,044 lifeboat seats for the 1,706 on board. Passengers in the lower cabins fought their way through darkened hallways filling up with ocean water and leaking oil. The first lifeboat was not deployed until an hour after the collision, and it held more crew than passengers.

Fortunately, the Stockholm, which had suffered a nonfatal blow, was able to lend its lifeboats to the evacuation effort. Several ships heard the Doria's mayday and came to assist. At 2:00 a.m. on July 26, the Ile de France, another great ocean liner, arrived and took charge of the rescue effort. It was the greatest civilian maritime rescue in history, and 1,660 lives were saved. The Stockholm limped back to New York.

At 10:09 a.m. on July 26, the Andrea Doria sank into the Atlantic. Almost immediately, the wreck, located at a depth of 240 feet of water, became a popular scuba diving destination. However, because of the extreme depth, the presence of sharks, and unpredictable currents, the Doria is known as the "Mount Everest" of diving locations.

Moonbat of the Week Award

Without a doubt, the "Moonbat of the Week" award goes to Sandy "Burglar" Berger, President Bill "Blow Job" Clinton's National Secutity Advisor.


Here we have an assclown entrusted with some of the highest classification of secrets in the land but allegedly has no rudimentary knowledge of how the system works to protect those documents from enemies foreign and domestic. So he "accidentally" and "inadvertently" takes them home in his pants, in his socks, hell, in his shorts for all we know! (EEEEEWW!)

In this case the domestic enemies were the operatives in the Dummycrap party fearful of something in the archives that could implicate Slick Willie in the 9-11 terrorism investigation.

AWARDED TO: SANDY BURGLAR


Here's to you, asshole! I hope they throw your treasonous ass in jail!

Getting Outed

As you know, Allan, our Minister of Propaganda, is on vacation and basically incommunicado. Therefore I can take the veil off and let you know the true story behind one of the positions he's held for a long time. He's been struggling with this but now knows he's wronged not only himself for denying his feelings but misled you, the reading audience.

What follows is a sort of "coming out of the closet" thing. Since he feels so bad having deceived you all for so long I suspect this sojourn he is on is one of atonement for his deception and a desire to come to grips with how he really feels.

In a nutshell, I think it is now safe to say that we at Barking Moonbat (Allan in particular) are 100 % supportive of the only team capable of kicking ass in the world series.

GO YANKEES!!!

GO YANKEES!!!

GO YANKEES!!!

Update From Allan:


Ahem! Vilmar, you are in such deep shit

that you could swim up for years and not

get out. I am hovering around watching

you all. When I get back there will be

some painfully severe punishments meted

out to certain yankee fans idiots!

CUBS RULE! YANKEES SUCK!

A Public Service Message

Got this from a Newsmax story on ATM fraud.


When standing there getting cash you may be getting "skimmed," too! What's skimming?
A skimmer is merely a card swipe device that reads the information on a consumer’s ATM card. The thief also captures the customer’s PIN number with a small camera mounted in the skimmer itself or at another location near the ATM machine.

A Quick Security Tip: Since the ATM machine works normally, the victims are unaware that they just gave a criminal the “keys” to their bank account.

Your info is then sent overseas were fake cards are made and your account drained.

Avoid this happening to you by following these good tips:
1. Be wary of anything about the ATM machine that looks out of the ordinary, such as odd-looking equipment or wire attached to the device.

2. Be wary of a “no tampering” sign. These are often placed by crooks to thwart anyone curious about a new piece of equipment.

3. Be wary of a jammed ATM machine that forces customers to use another ATM that has a skimmer attached.

4. Customers should also check their bank accounts regularly to make sure there are no unusual or unauthorized transactions.

A Quick Security Tip: Federal law limits loss from ATM fraud, and many banks offer additional protection. Consumers should check with their financial institution for details.

5. If you see anything unusual or suspicious around an ATM machine, or if you find unauthorized ATM transactions on your bank account, notify local law enforcement, as well as your financial institution and/or the establishment where the ATM is located.

6. It is also a good idea to always protect your PIN including not giving the number to anyone and to cover the keypad while you are entering your PIN.

7 If possible, it is usually best to carry out your ATM transactions during the daylight hours as most ATM-related crimes happen after dark.

Be wary! Be smart! Be careful!
