Is it safe to post our thoughts here? Or is B.B. watching this site, too.

    Probably here more than anywhere. A collective of free thinkers. Enemy number one to the feds.

    Sunni Muslims... and Saudis... both being our government's best friends.

    Kinda reminds me when I was young and dumb and started hanging around with "the wrong crowd", and my parents telling me that who I am and how others see me is defined by how you act, and reflected by those you have around you.

    Of course... we're not supposed to listen to our parents, but our dotgov handlers and counselors and teachers and correctors... so we'll all be good cookie cutter morlocks, to serve the eloi(tists)...

    Technical note.

    Because this site uses http, which is transmitted unencrypted over the wire, there's no need for anyone to "report" the contents to the NSA, who can simply read it as it comes over the wire if they want. Including who's posting from where and what your password is. It's all unencrypted.

    But at the same time, it's worth remembering that nobody here is anything close to a threat to the US government, as posters here are generally merely playacting codgers striking defiantly paranoid poses and spouting misinformation to each other. In other words, just another ineffectual little gaggle of Tea Party.

    I smoke those American Spirits, pure tobacco with no additives, and they have a thunderbird on the side that remind me of the Atlas Shrugged cigarettes.

    If it were true that one always lights up a cigarette after getting screwed, then the entire nation would be smoking as I type!

    I might shift some money into tobacco stocks....

    Has anyone here heard of VPN (Virtual Private Network)? Encryption, IP change every few minutes locating you anywhere in the world.

    The system is sophisticated enough that they can data mine and cross-reference what you're doing across the Internet to build a profile and perceived threat level.
    Throw geolocation of cell phone at night (home) and your night time browsing I.P. address (home), and they know who you are and where you live. Cross-reference with tax return to identify employer or business that you own.
    Now combine that with what commercial data mining companies have on you...everything from credit card purchases to groceries bought with a frequent shopper's "reward" card.
    Add to the top your passport photo and/or state driver's license photo.
    Let's face it. Uncle Sam has a dossier on you in a few minutes if and when someone wants to pull it up for review by human eyes.

    I'm ahead of you...I am purposely making my liver non-recyclable.

    I might consider taking on cigars also.

    I believe it is as safe as you make it. Never make threats of violence. If you do you will raise a red flag and be noticed by BB. Hide in plain site.

    Some of those who "blog" here will probably end up on a list. The list will prioritize them for IRS audits. And since the IRS is going to be in charge of health care they will also be prioritized as organ donors...after they die because they were denied (or buried in a mountain of paperwork before receiving) "affordable" health care.

    The "option" not to donate organs will probably be ended for the sake of the "common" good.

    Some of "us" may actually receive "health care, including "emergency" surgeries that would have been survivable if we hadn't blogged here and our organs weren't needed by those who did not oppose those in power.

    The FEMA camps that await the "bad bloggers" are equipped with hospitals, aren't they?

    Hopefully, 3D printers will soon end the need for organ donation...as well as the need to purchase a gun. Unfortunately, printing your own gun will probably be grounds for admission to a FEMA camp as well.

    Did Putin call them, “organ-eaten Syrians” because if he did that would be a nice touch.

    Since I am addicted to commenting against B.B. and am very good at it, plus I have deleted all my Fox news and Yahoo accounts, I guess I might come here and vent, now and then; God help me.

    I am afraid and I have spoken the truth on FOX news and Yahoo, for five years. Most popular blogger I am, but stupid I am not.
    I am now going to live under the radar.

    You can't be afraid to speak your mind, just because BB may be watching. Speak the truth and maybe those watching may learn a thing or two about liberty.

    So I guess the answer to my question is no. This was my last hope, silly me.
