Salt Your Data

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

Again, thank you all for being here for this supremely bizzare point in history. I don't think I could stay sane if there weren't people out there who can go pro when shit gets weird.

I, for one, have a home office. I'm not changing my routine. I have security/privacy measures in place. You are far too paranoid to be outside an asylum.

I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING, THAT'S JUST COPYPASTE.

And he's in an asylum of his own making.
...At least I KNOW I'm batshit crazy.

My routine could use a good shaking, too.

ALSO:

Mean what you say, mean what you do, and overall, make peace with it, for all eyes on us





ETA: Don't know how to resize, but i guess it emphasises my point anyhow.

Weird is my natural environment. I'm like the old combat vet who can't get to grips with anything other than a warzone. I don't know what the fuck to do with myself when shit isn't really fucking strange.

I think is the right way to resize.

Smaller than the A0 size one I emailed junky, should fit okay on a full sheet of letter size paper.

EDIT: imageshack link borked, new upload.

Wow, Gogira. O.O

[Sita]

I am so printing that to put up around here.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

So. Very. YOINKED. 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

This is good. I missed it originally.

All of these things are good. Although, I will say, if you already have watchers they won't be fooled by any of it. If you don't already have watchers, you probably aren't on any of the forums it might be posted on.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You should do it all anyway, though, because it makes their job a little more fun.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh my god. Seriously?

I mean, my perspective might be a little skewed because I've had watchers since I was maybe 20, thanks to my dad being who he is. But I am pretty confident that everyone on every Anonymous forum is pretty closely monitored, and their data is looked over by live people and not just a computer. That's why sites like WWP will never (and should never) see any real action. I mean, seriously, what better flag of "HEY MONITOR US!!!" can there be? When I first heard about it my first thought was that they had set it up specifically to monitor would-be Anon activity.

Remember, it was set up for the legal arm of the Chanology stuff, no one was or should be concerned about those plans being public. As other things got added, the moon bats showed up in stronger numbers and there really wasn't much they could do about it. In a lot of cities you need permits for yelling at buildings anyway, it's not like any of that was super secret.

I hear you about the futility part, but it's at least important as a symbolic gesture of flipping the bird at the cameras. I bet we could swap awesome surveillance stories

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah, being blocked into my driveway by MIBs who just want to ask me a few questions about my recent shopping habits was awesome. Up til then my ex thought I was paranoid.

Here's the takeway, which I think your piece captures well. ASSUME that you're being monitored. Assume that some government agency schmuck is reading everything you post on the internet and listening to every phone call and knows when you come, when you go, who you hang out with, and where.

Most likely, it's not an actual schmuck, unless you start doing something interesting or talking to someone interesting. But still. Just assume.

Exactly.
Though I personally am taking that a bit further...
My current email tagline has a bunch of "trigger words," some of them old ones, some taken from headlines and/or my own warped brain.

...I'm not doing anything illegal or particularly dangerous to the powers that be, see? 
I'm not really involved right now.
(Not that I would be so dumb as to talk about "stuff," but I'm not doing anything, really.)

...So I figure I can at least be useful as a decoy, right?
And I just suck at sneaking.
...So I ought to get as big and loud and vocal and goofy as possible.

...Waitaminute...I'm embarking on trying to troll the government.

NSA reader person...you want a pizza. 


A big, YUMMY pizza just dripping with gooey cheesy goodness.  SOOO good!
YUMMM...It's okay if you gain a little weight, you can work it off LATER...ooh, PIZZA....
