  • Privacy: Don’t Show All of Your Cards to Survive [Guest Post]

    Post by John from Destiny Survival

    I’m from the old school. I’m a middle aged man from a rural
    background, who’s been around for some time before the Internet,
    blogging, Twitter, ad nauseam. People today have no sense of what it
    means to keep things private. For example, teens don’t have the sense
    to know how serious sexting is. Not until they’re fined or jailed will
    they get a clue.

    But why fine or jail them? Everything else is out in the open, isn’t
    it? What’s the big deal?

    Sorry, but I don’t operate that way.

    Now, to tell you just a little about my own prepping. I do have a
    couple of water filtration devices because water’s extremely
    important. We’ve got a little storage food set by, but not nearly
    enough. Can there ever be? If a mouth breathing knuckle dragger comes
    down my driveway, he’ll be met with an unfriendly welcome, and that’s
    all I’ll say about that.

    So if you’re disappointed in me for not disclosing all, I know it’s
    tough, but you’ll get over it.

    I write regularly about survival and prepping at Destiny Survival, where some of it is based on my
    own experience and some is frankly intended to get you to buy things
    you need for your own prepping. But even there I don’t tell all.

    I’m a firm believer in the importance of having a survival mindset.
    Your best survival tool lies between your ears. Thankfully, nobody can
    ever know everything you’re equipped with up there.

    My advice to you? Be a prepper for your own good. Keep your mouth
    shut and don’t use your keyboard to blab about what you’re doing.

    You’re sure to invite trouble one of these days if you spill your guts
    to the whole world… and don’t think they’re not watching.

  • Use Internet Privately [Privacy]

    Ever gone to a site, and wish that the site couldn’t know where you were in the world, or who you were? Perhaps giving away secrets, or anonymously submitting articles? Volunteer Your Computer for Global Privacy details using TOR, software that doesn’t give away your location. Enjoy.

    Google revealed last week that network intruders have read email messages in the Google accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Someone–still unknown–is determined to spy on Chinese dissidents. Other someones are determined to identify undercover police officers, ferret out employees who secretly inform the police about their company’s crimes, and stalk their own wives who have left home to escape battering. Hundreds of volunteers are now running an Internet service for people who need to protect their privacy. The service is called Tor, the Onion Router. Anyone can provide Tor, for free. Anyone can use Tor to protect his privacy, for free.
