Real And Practical Ways To Avoid The Snoops - Jonas - 12 July 2013

hi Jonas,
Good find, the eroding of our human rights have been crumbling for many years, we no longer have freedom of speech even. So
this comes as no big surprise,especially in our nanny state they call great britain.
I think that the largest threat we have is already underway and has been for many years, and will be a long lingering death for us all and not the see it coming then respond scenario that we primarily prep for.

I see the Kremlin are investing in electric typewriters for preparation of some of their more sensitive reports.

The highly classified stuff has always been on standalone systems in suitably secure rooms with no access to networks (incl internet) and encrypted and will probably never change (note the use of the probably there!).
All major countries do this (incl Russia, USA, UK etc)
The snooping is done more enmasse for us regular bods, just wonder what encryption the NHS, Police etc use as thy have some really sensitive data about people.....
Mind you they wont find a lot snooping on my computer linked to the internet - I don't store card or money details, prep details or suchlike on it - don't even have access to a cloud on it!

the only real way to avoid the snoops is to go off grid completely, no internet, no phone, no bank cards, pay cash for everything.

The only caveat I would make to Jona's post of original article is that although all this MAY be true, (particularly for example the TOR comments which I would actually dispute) ..... even if all these were true, you need to be a pretty important fish for TPTB to target you.
Let me give you an example..
Lets assume you want to look at the website "TieMeUpAndTickleMe.com".
If TPTB want to raid their server, they can get a log of all IP's that have visited it and thereby know who.
If however, you were to use Tor Browser, all they would get, in your case would be a fake IP. Even if one of the TOR nodes were compromised, it only shortens the odds not remove all security. All data traffic passes through multiple nodes - they would all need compomising.
The Only way to get to me would be to sit on my local loop BEFORE I hitn the first node.
Having said all this, the less interaction the better as BP said.
That said the less interaction as BP said, the better.

Plus with TOR you can hit the "new identity" button and change your address at will and as many times as you want.
