So here are the top 10 things to protect yourself, protect your family and keep you employed in the Phoenix PD (or any PD or state agency). While we are sure you can use these for other high crimes like identity theft, child porn, etc. surfing the web and utilizing your first amendment right to free speech in complete anonymity requires an equal amount of surreptitious and clandestine efforts.
First Line of Defense
– Protect your IP Address
Right now set as your home page a website like www.hidemyass.com . Each time you open up your browser, browse our blog and website exclusively through this portal or a portal like it. This costs you nothing. Leave comments the same way. It will hide your IP address (the digital signature on your computer). Consider it like wearing gloves!
Second Line of
Defense – Obtain an Email that is Hosted Anonymously
While no email is 100% foolproof and is subject to
subpoenas, get one thru www.hidemyass.com or go to our favorite www.hushmail.com When signing up use nothing that is real
(name, phone number, etc). and never add a second email onto it for security. Sign up through hidemyass or while web
browsing through an IronKey. Caution:
You must log into hushmail every 20-30 days or the account gets
locked. You can pay $40-50 dollars per
annum to never have it lock on you. We
personally like Hushmail because it is based outside of the
Third Line of Defense
– Never use a Personal Credit Card to Purchase Software, Email Accounts or Phones
Go to your local grocery store and buy (with cash) an American Express or Visa gift card. Never buy it with a credit card. Never buy it at your bank either. Use this untraceable credit card to buy cell phones, software, or emails.
Fourth Line of
Defense – Buy an IronKey
IronKeys are industrial grade USBs that allow you to browse the Internet, undetected. Open up an Internet browser within an IronKey and use www.hidemyass.com Use your untraceable credit card to buy the IronKey. is the best protection we know of. The cheapest IronKey is about $80, but it is money well spent to protect your job and protect you from bogus NOIs.
Fifth Line of Defense
– Use Your Iron Key on a Public Computer or a Family Computer
If your Iron Key is ever compromised and is traced back,
having it on the family computer will help you.
While it may be frowned upon in the
Sixth Line of Defense
- Buy a Throw Away Cell Phone
Cheap and easy like a few girls we know. A phone is $20 dollars at any Radio Shack or Best Buy. A card to charge is $10 - $25 dollars. We have several which we use exclusively to call our cop contacts. It’s money well spent.
Seventh Line of
Defense - Send us Items via Snail Mail (regular mail) and in Paper Format – non
electronic
Electronic items leave a signature. Send us paper (or old school photographs). We scan what you send, then shred it, then burn the shred. It’s completely non traceable by the Phoenix PD. You can also ask around the Phoenix PD and find one of our current sources and give the docs to them to hand to us. If you send us something electronically (like a photo of a nameplate) send it to us on your throw away phone or the phone of a friend or child – but never your own.
Eighth Line of
Defense – Never Use Your Real Name and Pick a Bogus Identity
Go to www.dirtysounding.com and pick a name for you to use and for us. Or pick your first pet’s name (as your first name) and the street you grew up on (as your last name). Never tell us who you are and we will never ask. Tell us you’re Jack Harris and we will believe you.
Ninth Line of Defense
– Ask and Find the Good Cops with the Phoenix PD
There are many who support us. Find them. They will be easy to find. There are many more who like and support us, then Jack Harris. These cops will provide insight and help with how to contact us and how to protect your job.
Tenth Line of Defense
– If You Don’t Care, then Neither Will We!
We speak with a lot of retired cops. Cops who are fed up. If you don’t care to hide what you know and who you are, then we don’t either. While we will do everything to protect your identity, we don’t ask for your driver’s license or any ID when we speak. If you are not afraid of being identified, then speak as you please and don’t hide anything!
And the Ultimate Defense?
Take your laptop and go to a non Starbucks coffee shop that offers free wifi and no video cameras. Buy coffee in cash. Log into your IronKey under hidemyass.com and you can virtually do whatever you want! HA!
