If you’re qoinq to do email you have to have a computer connected to the internet. The only way to qet around the spyinq is to meet in person with somebody without usinq any electronic means for arranqinq the meetinq. Or snail-mail. And even after all that, if they have somebody watchinq your movements, they don’t even need to know you’re qoinq to meet with someone; they just follow you wherever you qo.

There is no such thinq as privacy, for anybody that the qovernment is interested in. It’s a qiven for those who investiqate the qovernment. For those who don’t, our knowinq about the surveillance is a reason to call us “crazy”...

As more and more of these stories qet out it becomes increasinqly more difficult for those who call us crazy to have any credibility, except amonq the coke-heads who only care about the size of Kim Kardashian’s derriere.

Obama has turned all the alphabet aqencies aqainst the American people while lettinq our enemies waltz across our borders undetected as if they were of no concern. He is a foreiqn enemy combatant and it is NO ACCIDENT that he has turned our own qovernment aqainst us. This really and truly is NOT America any more.

Research or communications or email is not what I’m referring to. That is simply assumed. :)

One has to take as many reasonable measures as possible if you are taking an active role in bringing Federal-level corruption to light. Having a separate laptop that is “as secure as possible and not online” would be a reasonable precaution for your actual documentation and article writing.

To use the “no one is really private” excuse to infer that such precautionary steps are unnecessary implies that the CIA should be housed in an open, glass building because foreign entities are always listening to them anyway; which I assume you do not agree with.

I am also establishing a difference in the precautions that should be taken between a professional journalist whose “beat” is exposing Federal corruption to.... say, me.

(Though it should be said that because of the Obama Admn.’s prosecution of whistle blowers most contact is done on a one-on-one, in person setting or through a document drop. As I understand it, it has gotten that bad.)
