    Are you concerned about your digital privacy enough to use proxies and encryption software? Do you voice chat with fellow PC gamers? If so, you might be a terrorist, according…

    Seven years ago I downloaded a pdf which explained how to make your own smoke bombs with salt peter (they were wicked cool), the FBI must be watching me now.

    All they really want to do, is stir up a huge paranoia in people. When you see people paranoid and looking around more, you know they want security right? What better way of pushing otherwise impossible bills through?

    It's just a trap being set onto the public, so they can have a better grasp on your information. Intentionally "leak" things and get people worried. Then rope people in by throwing a large spread search net, that is disguised as a way of protecting the public?


    Sure you can call me paranoid or clueless. Just we're not all blind to the tactics, they want control on what's not controllable anymore.

    Guess I'm a terrorist because I use VOIP services (not telling which ones) for online gaming (again not telling because I respect privacy ;)

    Now I feel like driving to an internet cafe 20 miles away just to do all these other things in public. At the same time.

    Hahahahahaha! This reminds me of a what happened to members from the band TISM who will always wear some sort of balaclava (even going as far as to incorporate balaclavas into their on-stage costumes). They were driving across town from one radio interview to another and were pulled over by the cops because there had been a bank robbery in the CBD and they wanted to know why they were driving around with balaclavas on.

    Good times…

    Word of advice: Don't wear a black ski mask while posing conspicuously with your Macbook.
