This is from a non-Catholic, who runs a very good "non-mainstream" news blog. He moved to New Zealand to live a more independent, sustainable life. But he also lives with his girlfriend...

I wouldn't suggest hiding in a hole, and ceasing to participate in forums -- that would mean no one else could find out the truth. Then the bad guys have won! They WANT us to think they're almighty and omniscient. I think that's why they let us know about stuff like this.

But you might take SOME precautions like perhaps not having all kinds of info in your profile -- let's make it hard for them at least :)

You'll notice I changed my profile pic (both here and on FE) and removed some of the more sensitive information. I don't want them to have a handy photo of me!


Lots of us have seen this coming for a very long time and none of it is surprising in the least. That doesn't make it any less frightening.

Additionally, there is a 100% chance that "radical ideologies" will come to include small scale organic food production and livestock ownership. If you think you are going to quietly "disappear into the hills" somewhere in the U.S., you must be clear about one thing: They are eventually going to come for you. Only you can decide how to respond when that happens.

I've said it a few times and I'll say it again: I'll continue to broadcast for as long as possible, know that there will be pockets of survivors and hope that they don't make the same mistakes we did. But I want to add something else this time: My ability to update Cryptogon could be eliminated without warning. It is now publicly acknowledged that the American military is engaging what it considers to be hostile information sources. Those idiots know better than to try to argue the finer points of their fαℓѕє fℓαg terror BS and torture strategies with me. They may, instead, just pull the plug. While I don't know what the likelihood is of that eventuality, with an entity as powerful as the American Corporate State, anything is possible.

My guess is that the mass roundups of people will begin immediately following the next fαℓѕє fℓαg operation inside the U.S. Speaking out after 9/11 has only made it easier for the fascists to identify those who need to be rounded up. Again, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Back in 1995, the few of us who studied information warfare read this in a Pentagon docuмent:
The Internet could also be used offensively as an additional medium in psychological operations campaigns and to help achieve unconventional warfare objectives. Used creatively as an integral asset, the Internet can facilitate many DoD operations and activities.
Those of us who came out of the woodwork to say everything we've been saying over the past several years have succeeded only in painting bulls' eyes on our chests. Now they know who we are. And, more importantly, they know who you are; the thought criminals who read sites like Cryptogon. With this latest news, it's clear that the U.S. wants to start actively using the intelligence they're gleaning from the biggest honey pot of them all to take down critics of the regime. See China.

My advice to all Cryptogon readers is to stop reading Cryptogon (and similar sites) from Internet connections that are attributable to you. This means connections from work, connections that you pay for and even some free connections such as those provided by libraries. This may or may not buy you more time to get out, but it can't hurt. If you haven't sent email to me in the past, don't start now. They are almost certainly building relational databases/proximity charts (like this, but different) out of the email traffic. The name of the game in the post Military Commissions Act of 2006 world is fake trials, fake evidence, confessions under torture, hearsay and guilt by association. It's all in play now. The ugly, Darkness at Noon style endgame. And just wait until the dust settles after the next fαℓѕє fℓαg operation...

This isn't paranoia, tin foil hat stuff, people. They're letting everyone know. They're saying it on the record: If you disagree with this regime, we're coming to get you!

One final thing, the article below uses the phrase, intelligence fusion centers. Last year, Cryptogon was visited by a machine that I traced back to something called fusion.mil. I have not been able to determine what fusion.mil is. There's a subdomain on the Defense Technical Information Center called horizontalfusion.dtic.mil. Is it related? Who knows? But if you dare, check out the FAQ at http://horizontalfusion.dtic.mil/faq/ and then read the story below about the next major U.S. security threat:

BOSTON (Reuters) - Disaffected people living in the United States may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet and that could present the next major U.S. security threat, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Monday.

"We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of International Association of the Chiefs of Police.

...

To help gather intelligence on possible home-grown attackers, Chertoff said Homeland Security would deploy 20 field agents this fiscal year into "intelligence fusion centers," where they would work with local police agencies.

By the end of the next fiscal year, he said the department aims to up that to 35 staffers.
