When you pick up the phone and call someone, or send a text message, or write an email, or send a Facebook message, or chat using Google Hangouts, other people find out what you're saying, who you're talking to, and where you're located. Such private data might only be available to the service provider brokering your conversation, but it might also be visible to the telecom companies carrying your Internet packets, to spy and law enforcement agencies, and even to some nearby teenagers monitoring your Wi-Fi network with Wireshark.
But if you take careful steps to protect yourself, it's possible to communicate online in a way that's private, secret and anonymous. Today I'm going to explain in precise terms how to do that. I'll take techniques NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden used when contacting me two and a half years ago and boil them down to the essentials. In a nutshell, I'll show you how to create anonymous real-time chat accounts and how to chat over those accounts using an encryption protocol called Off-the-Record Messaging, or OTR.

All Intel chips have the backdoor called vpro vt amt on chipset, including an inbuilt Vnc server. Many amd chips have this too. So no. You cannot be secret. This is woman's America. This is what they want: "perverts and pedis" In prison. Men used to marry girls before women gained power. (Last us state to ban child marriage was tennasee in 1930, northern states banned it in 1870 and eventually did so in the south too later). Men used to be the master. Men used to have rights. Men used to not go to prison for anything and everything. Women didn't like that. This is the america they want. They are the rulers

Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
Example: repeatedly posting complaints in online forums about not being able to marry young girls, and expecting somehow not to get modded down as troll on each post.
Taking a clinical view, I have to wonder what the poster hopes to accomplish with these posts. Alternately, what value they derive from the futile exercise of making them just to be modded down and ignored. It is obvious that they are the only member of this forum with those views, even the MRA crowd doesn't come to their defense. It's a curiosity.

Men used to marry young girls. Hopefully the south will rise again and reinstate the practice as they were the last to ban it. No victory is forever. Women and their supporters will not reign for all of time over all the earth.

No argument there. Also, you have no interest in support from like-minded groups. Got it.
Men used to marry young girls.
Also true; however, you offer no argument for why this is optimal compared to our current tradition. Why the rabid nostalgia for a tradition that most of the world has abandoned?
Hopefully the south will rise again . . .
What does this even mean? People have been saying it forever; I can't tell what benefits or prior state they're hoping will be restored, nor that the people saying it are doing anything to help make it happen.
. . . and reinstate the practice as they were the last to ban it.
Again, to what benefit? Because you want it? Because it's better for the young girls? Because it's better for society in general?
No victory is forever.
True, but some defeats are.
Women and their supporters will not reign for all of time over all the earth.
True again, assuming that they reign right now.
Honestly, your posts seem calculated to cause maximum offense, with no effort to explain or convince in any way. Your posting history could be simulated with a short shell script for all the variety it presents. What benefit do you derive from this, and what effect do you anticipate it having on your audience? If you intend to be persuasive, you may want to try a different approach.

Insanity is the inability to observe what is in front of you, to properly process information based on what it actually is, not what it appears to be and not being able to tell the difference while carrying out a good handling. Moving the chair out of the way just right, for example. Throwing the chair out the window would be a not very sane action if all you needed was to be able to get past it.
Insanity is like having a calculator with one of the keys pressed screwing up the result giving you false information to operate with.
Insantity exists on any subject in any situation large or small. Verbal communication for example is insane in as much as it is gone once spoken. You can't replay it unless there is a accurate recording. Insanity can be walking out into thin air thinking you can walk on air.
Being emotional is not automatically insane, having a proper response to something is sane.
Sanity is a gradient scale where something which aids in your survival without damaging others is quite good while damaging more than it helps is not very good sanity.
People are at a rapidly increasing rate having a problem with people having emotions. Something must be wrong and they have to be controlled and subdued is not neccessarily a sane reaction. It easily becomes very poor control. Many people hate control because they only experience bad control. Good control is however needed or your life would fall apart. You simply need to have good control. For example if you are trying to eat dinner and your control of the fork is out then you might not eat.
Applying force beyond what is needed to get someones attention, may it be physical or verbal, is bad control. Good control is an optimum action that is just right to get the job done.
Society will go under unless people get comfortable with others and the fact that we are all different. Some more than others, but if you cannot deal with your own security, much less others you won't be much good to yourself nor others.

Why, because the world used to suck for women and you're uncomfortable with history? Or because social momentum has swung the other way and now, at least in a few select areas, you're better off as a woman than a man?

yes, intel chips have secret codes. yellow books are not easy to come by and most people have never heard of them. me, included (lol).
but what does that have to do with tcp/ip?
you can spoof your mac addr. you can spoof your IP (lots of ways). tell me: what does the hardware have to do with network communications when an ip packet does not have ANY FIELDS AT ALL that come from low level cpu structures?

In theory, malicious hardware could sniff whatever data you have (with unencrypted access same as you), then send it through the internet. And it could even have a "don't log this and pretend it doesn't exist" notation so that your malicious hardware where you're trying to check for suspicious packets, also lies to you. At the very least we know that the NSA was hardware backdooring routers for export.
