   Which of the VPNs are trustworthy?

   Which of the Tor exit nodes are not run by the “security” services?

   Which ISPs will permit the customer to protect himself?

   But of course most of the sheeple will join in their new chorus “Think of the Children”, “Protect us from Paedophiles”.

     ….and don’t forget, “Protect the honest citizens from wicked Islamist terrorists” – This is how America got the TSA after 9/11- who strip search granny at the airport – while Moozlams in their tent size burkas – blow right past the TSA checkpoints.

     Did I mention NSA spying on everyone in the world? – and how about Homeland Security? – who are busy building concentration camps outside every major USA city.

     Gee, I feel so protected and SAFE!

     It’s getting to the point where I’m wondering the same thing, yokel. I’ve started connecting my laptop to the Internet using a complex series of cut-outs and blinds, only to wonder if I’ve done enough!

     Step 1: fire up the laptop (Linux-driven)
     Step 2: open a VirtualBox session and fire up a virtual machine (Linux-driven)
     Step 3: launch an OpenVPN connection
     Step 4: connect using TOR
     Step 5: check my favourite websites (Crusader Rabbit, Truebluenz, Breitbart, etc.)

     Then, I bugger it all up at Step 6 by checking my Hotmail!

         My system is much simpler-
         Step 1 don’t give a damn
         Step 2 still don’t give a damn
         Step 3 shoot any f–ker that shows up cross at the front door.

   Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Pffffftt…

   It will end badly for those that do this – just like it always has.

   About nothing to hide nothing or fear, an environmentalist on kiwiblog says we need to cut emissions by 90% to survive by 2030. The only way this will happen is by more people dying less children being born. And they are telling people they should stop having sugar.

   So the reason it just doesn’t work is your idea of right and wrong may be different than the Greens who say we are overpopulated. And already they’re saying negative about those who let their children have sugar.

   The other thing I noticed is it will be through WhatsApp and facebook. Whatever is on facebook is owned by facebook. So it just seems possible that if you put something that the public can see you’re taking a risk. They didn’t say anything about hotmail. So this is why I don’t have a facebook account. But that’s only what they are telling us so far, tyranny happens incrementally.
