We're already basically confirmed that's going to work

Follow the money, right? Look at all the money raised after Las Vegas. https://www.gofundme.com/raise-funds/las-vegas-shooting

False flags are the new Clinton and Obama foundations.

@sharoline424 exactly!

I used to have a PC I used for flash drives and other things. Did not care what it did to the PC as I could easily reload windows. So if you have that you might be curious and see what was on the drive. Also if it was an expensive one you found it might be worth the risk if you had some means to restore your system. Otherwise you are just not using your brain if you insert a USB drive into your system.

@Steve Angell most people dont think security

If help is needed translating things from Arabic to English, I definitely can help....both audio and written...not that I'm an expert in all things.

Mostly why I wrote this.

im expecting huge awakening in my area using this method. and graffity qr codes

People if you insert a USB drive into your system it can destroy it. Erase your hard drive even.

I have had ones where I needed to unplug the computer. It was attacking the CPU to melt it down.

yup. straight up blackhat business. be careful

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, you are talking about the USB devices that replaced CDs and floppy discs, right? They wreck PCs?

they could be malicious yes.

Well, crap.

Yes though the CD's DVD's and such can still do it if they are designed to. Definitely if black hat has gotten to them

I had these same concerns re: security about leaving them places but it could work for some @Dustin Nemos thoughts on a grass roots session and hand them out? I’m thinking of reaching out to ppl in my home town. After a convo I bet ppl would take it and share it. Just my two cents

Kind of makes me wonder if that's what happened to my last two PCs...

I used an old notebook that I could restore. I did not plug it into the internet. If you do test USB drives at least unplug the internet. Or log out if on WiFi.

yes handing usbs is better if you gain trust beforehand

Windows 10 is a bit better. Mostly it will protect from CD's and DVD's unless you deactivate the protection. Difficult to do.

Windows 10 is NSA. learn linux. there's a 7 hour long course on youtube. free.

use ubuntu

not windows

I know. I figure they are going to do what they will regardless. I just let them.

I probably should learn Linux.

do it! its free

Doubt it would stop NSA.

use TOR, use VPNs to stay anon

@Steve Angell Thank you for the info.

what are good vpns to use?

I am very careful and save nothing to speak of. They do not like you saving things.

Casandra I don't think new USB s wreck your computers. Just used ones that someone has put a virus or something on.

Links are OK but not files.

@hitchhiker Oh, okay.

PureVPN. not free. there are some free vpns out there but they keep your digital footprint

paid ones dont keep records

Yes new ones should be safe. Only found ones are we referring to.

Okay.

Sorry - I know it's blatantly obvious that technology is not my area.

how worried should we be about them storing information we are looking up/searching?

Paid ones run by the NSA no doubt. But they try to keep the illusion going. So they are unlikely to use information they have.

its good that you ask questions. very important to know the battlefield

True.

You, Dustin

@bint-min-cali Do you use duckduckgo?

Is google chrome safe? Safari? or are there other browsers should we be using?

@bint-min-cali depends on the kind of activity you practice

@Casandra sometimes

@bint-min-cali That's a pretty good one.

@bint-min-cali anything related to google, even remotely like whatsapp, instagram is under surveilance

W e are safer now because so many now understand reality. I advise doing too much to try to protect yourself. More likely it will draw attention to you.

facebook.. whatever

@SoftIce Some of the things I search are sensitive for Middle East....

@bint-min-cali whatever you watch, on your own personal device is under surveilance 247

@SoftIce Deleted facebook, whatsapp and instagram ages ago. 😃

if you do not take security measures

What are the odds the virus protection programs are actually just more data-mining tools?

like hiding your location, blocking your camera and mic, using vpns, proxies..

@Casandra 100% proven

Someone bought two phones. One in airport mode. Both sent all kinds of data as soon as they had internet access.

@SoftIce I hate being right.

its another money machine

@Casandra I'm just learning too. I have learned some things by utube and looking up on internet. Many of these guys on here don't even get how basic some of our questions really are because it's all second nature for them 😁. But you'll get it

The airport mode one sent more than the one not in airport mode.

@hitchhiker Thanks. We can be newbies together. 😃

The more you do to protect yourself. The more they do to spy on you. Why I use Windows 10.

Mostly I keep my phone away from me.

So when you delete all Google and they say that it could mess up your phone's programming that's a lie?

yes that is if they have a reason to spy on you. some of the things you do dont matter to anyone.. lets not forget that like you there are millions more researching the same stuff

I honestly think we should have more information about internet security....and what are good tools for privacy.

it matters more what you DO with that info

Reminds me why never to trade in a phone, better to either keep it as a backup or destroy it completely

Factory reset the phone is the best procedure. But yes it is a lie.

Ty

Will that delete contact info?

@Saintlady9 sounds like nonsense to me

I keep my old phones, for a back up, eventually just toss

Factory reset is NOT enough

@Casandra 👍

Ikr, I went and to delete this big box popped up and said caution is may stop other programs from running or harm your phone

Doubt keeping the phone does any good or harm. I mean they have the phone backed up unless you never use it and somehow break the access it has to phone networks.

factory reset ia not enough. not even formatting your pc. to completely erase the data without leaving trace, do a secure erase / erasure

Do they record voice conversations?

encrypting your phone completely and then doing a factory reset does the job.

Like Q says, nothing is ever erased

Which is why HRC had to go to such lengths to destroy those emails...

@bint-min-cali they can listen

Yes bleachbit if you have anything illegal on it. Or some other secure erase.

And it still wasn't enough.

@Takebackourfreedom yea if you added a human touch people would trust it more

They say 7 dwarf computers have it all

Myaccount.google.com tells you everything that's on your phone you can go in and erase it but it will be there permanently

all tinhats should use DBAN as a method of completely erasing data on your pc. formatting is not enough

I believe you can rig a supermagnet to destroy a Harddrive. but I'd probably melt it to be on the safe side if I were truly worried. None of the stuff we need to handle to push Q and truth requires any of that though

Yes the internet is forever. Everything is backed up. Like Microsoft said. All your data belong to us. Something like that.

True. I just hate being tracked.

Me TOO! GRRRR

get Nordvpn, use the Tor network, and learn about how to really use the tor network, and realize the CIA have compromised tor.
