Whether this latest scandal gets "resolved" or not, the cat is out of the bag - NONE of our private information is private. And with increasingly intricate and advanced technologies emerging, we can only expect the situation to get much, MUCH worse. They just won't tell us the next time, and simply "disappear" anyone who quits his classified government job.
I've always suspected that we would eventually have to again embrace low-tech methods of communication to combat government fascism such as we're now seeing. Notes in archaic or obscure languages, codes and other unsuspected methods are going to, out of necessity, come back into use by true, constitutional Americans. It will be inefficient, but will give us good practice for when the entire networked infrastructure completely collapses.

Stay safe !
We are taking steps tot change banks and close accounts that are currently online. We are not going to buy online so we will not have credit card information going out to every Tom, Dick & Harry who can hack into retail sites.
Or we could just write letters and mail them. Pen and paper present the writer with many opportunities to obfuscate the meaning of the message. Another tactic might be to repurpose a modified piece ofjunk mail (who looks at stuff,anyway).
Secure computer equipment is called “TEMPEST certified”.
Expanding on that, I think high tech will be the Left's undoing in all areas. Most of the occuparasite types are absolutely addicted to modern technology and can't survive without it. It was recently discovered that a very large portion of young people really have no concrete idea where food comes from. I knew of a girl who, once she saw a potato being harvested from out of the ground, swore off french fries. Blemish-free, processed "food" was all she knew or would eat.
An old country song, "A Country Boy Can Survive" is going to see new meaning when the system of distribution and communication collapses. And Country Boys are conservative.
I’m thinking we all need several aliases. We can also use throw away phones and email addresses we use on library computers, or computers we buy second hand at Goodwill etc. that we use on public WIFIs.
Excellent point. Mimeograph a good idea, and there once was stuff called Carbon Paper. What a concept.
When we assemble, we should all wear burqas. Yes, even guys. The “authorities” will not only leave us alone, they’ll guard us.
It's extremely effective and the reason why they used it.
I’ve never ate a duck egg. Is there a lot of difference? I know they are bigger. Gramma used to use them for baking.
That is a pretty good book.
There are several breeders/racers in the south bay here...
A Country Girl can survive too. I actually caught my first fish yesterday!!! Three of them! Guess I’m sorta a city girl but learning. Or learnin’
“When the NSA starts hiring 70-80 year olds to decode Morse,”
Morse is easily decoded by computer. Many CW operators do that now.
Well, think about it -- people caring about their privacy scares these "folks", scared = terror, so it's actually true!
Do Hebrew so I don’t have to learn a new language.
I’m also thinking we all need to by older cars. The new ones most certainly have embedded in them an RFID device - they already use these at the production stage. Autos are required to be registered to a named owner, and so - instant tracking of any car owner.
If someone were to find a way to use the internet truly anonymously, it’d be nice. Probably be banned immediately though.
hehe. Same here. The computer would simply print out: W....T....F....?
