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.

“using as much cash as you can for day to day purchases.”

Also... when checking out, don’t provide the store’s card that gives a discount. You’ll pay a little more, but you won’t be in the computer system.

With the way the current government feels about Israel Hebrew is probably considered a terrorist code.

Maybe it's time for me to learn Navajo.

if you use your card for gas..they know where you are..and can go from there...narrows the field. Using card for groceries they can tell if you have children, pets, health issues etc. by what you buy ..stores list all your items now.

The computers definitely can, but LEOs can’t go investigate them all.

They'll just send Predators with Hellfire missiles and let Allah sort it out.

Lol. Use Craig’s list? I thought we were going no tech? I won’t because the thought of going back to filling out checks for bills is not appealing. Plus no Internet for Free Republic? How would we manage that?

I was talking to a driver of hotel shuttles recently. He does a hotel-airport run. He told me that what he has noticed in the last year or so is how addicted people are to their gadgets. That may not sound surprising but he said he has been doing the job for many years but only recently has he noticed that the majority of people waiting for his vehicle basically be unresponsive to his notification of “airport shuttle...” Since they don't react he pulls away and at that point, hotel guests will shout at him to return. The addiction to technology has turned many into zombies.

>>>LOL. Using HF and Greek would virtually guarantee you a spot in the NSA archives. They have listening posts all over the world and on most Navy ships.

The NSA spend most of their time on 14.313 Mhz

My wife saw an ad for the “National Consumer Panel” and signed up for it thinking it was a way to earn money in her spare time. They (Nielsen and IRi) sent her a scanner with a keyboard. The instructions said that *anyone* in the household who bought *anything*, even for cash, had to scan the items and enter a price and where they bought them, info about who they were shopping with, etc. Unbelievable. And they didn’t really offer money for it either. I sent the thing back and told them where they could shove it.

They'll usually let you use a phone number so just give them the number of a neighbor you don't care if you screw with his privacy. You'll get the best price and it poisons their database with incorrect information where just refusing does not.

Technology has caught up with us, as Black Sabbath had predicted.
