Is it Time for All Good Americans to go Low Tech Once Again?
Self | 06/17/13 | fwdude

Posted on 06/17/2013 1:11:21 PM PDT by fwdude

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.

As for comms, someone come up with a good means of encasing msgs in pictures (some random collection of LSBs in the pic would work....albeit with the warning that that randomess heeds to change). Keep the picture flow going - overload them.

Already out there. Steganograpy is fairly advanced, considering. One of the beauties of steganography is that you can, to some extent, foil their traffic analysis. Link to a pic with encrypted data here on FR, and there is no real way for them to determine who the actual intended target is. Same thing for uploading the pic to facebook.

The NRO has satellites that can receive all HF/VHF/UHF ham radio traffic world wide. The NSA has the recording studios. :)

Government is so sophisticated and smart!

So smart, even with a trillion dollars in tax paid communication monitoring apparatus, the government couldn't detect the amateur Muslim terrorists in Boston, who used Walmart chicken cooker bombs...And they were warned and tipped off about these individuals? ...yuk yuk

If you ran a computer with no harddrive and ran off a linux live disc the computer itself wouldn’t save anything for them to find later.

That's been done.

Anonymous remailers were typically set up like that. It was incredibly simple to have a headless box out there just doing work completely in memory, even back in the day before we had multi-GB of ram.

It'd be really easy to do a kiosk-type network setup like that these days. If you ever wanted persistant storage, you could write to usb.

:) I’d like to learn Hebrew. I think it’s the language of Heaven anyway, might as well learn it now.

Yeah, I hear the remedial classes are pretty packed.

Well, it isn’t that the information was had, it was the idiots did nothing about it. No one will lose their jobs or get in trouble if a terrorist does something so no one does anything. Typical Americans anymore. It is pervasive in corporate America as well.

Government was too busy monitoring and spying on law abiding Americans to care about the terrorist Muslims they imported into the U.S.

Your comment is why I am so pissed at this. We let these terrorist sin from known hostile nations, we know they are anti-American and make hostile comments, yet, we won’t deport them. Instead, we terrorize Americans.
