Anonymous Storage
All,

Thank you for the advice on the personal storage situation. I agree with Jack, that the lady was far too nosy and too hard-headed on certain rules. Even though I didn’t have to provide an SSN, the fact that she was adamant about requiring a driver’s license (and photocopying it) was just too much.

After some calling around, I located a storage that was willing to open up a unit in a company name with any “employee” showing up to sign the paperwork. A TIN, SSN, or even driver’s license were not needed.

I printed a few business cards and a copy of the LLC paperwork (just in case) for my “employee” and had them go down and open the unit without any problems. They showed only a passport, and it was not photocopied. They provided two ghost phone numbers and a faraway ghost PO box for an address. They did request a physical address, and my nominee told them that the company was in the process of moving to a new building (not yet located), and that another employee would call in and provide the new address later. That was good enough for them.

When it comes to privacy, you get what you pay for. Even though I am paying twice per month for the same sized unit, I now have a 100% anonymous storage.



... Note the key words here, folks: When it comes to privacy, you get what you pay for.

new plates and title?
Just looking for a little clarification.

Let's say you buy a car, put it in the name of an LLC, and later move to another state. If you want to blend in by getting plates for the new state, do you have to re-register the car and it would be the same process as the first registration? Or can you get new plates but keep the first title and registration?

Second, it seems like I saw a template for a 'bill of sale' either on this website or in one of the e-reports, but I can't remember where.. does anyone have a good form because I've never actually used one before? Thanks for your input.

... TRANSFER: I know of no difference between transferring a car in your own name, or in an LLC name, at least in most states. The exception may be in NY, SC, PA or Iowa.

... BILL OF SALE. Google that, and pick out the simplest form.

AZ DMV update
I have successfully titled my car in AZ under an LLC. The worker said that they no longer check the vehicle VIN due to a recent change in procedure, and indeed my car was not checked. I did not need to produce my drivers license, proof of insurance, or any ID linking me to the LLC. I did need to show the receipt for the LLC, but this was only used to type in the LLC name for the title and was not scrutinized.

I did need to pay a higher commerical rate since it was for a business, but that was only $58 for the two year renewal.

This was the first time using Mr. Luna's techniques, so there were some butterflies while waiting my turn. Happily, it was easy, trouble-free, and cheap,!

Draft File communication
Searching this data query on Google:
Terrorist+cells+use+Draft+File+to+communicate yields the link below (published in 2006) and much more.

In this article, under the subheading They Know What We Know at the bottom of the article, this specific tradecraft method is discussed.

... Yes, I was thinking I'd read about this a few years ago. Here's a comment about that, just in from Mattias in Sweden:

"That URL was really good! Big thank you. The email thing is quite clever and the thinking is sound too. The email security freaks hate web-mail though due to the fact that all webmail saves local copies (the drafts) all the time without the users consent, for the users benefit... This makes it easy for evil-doers (especially if they are resourceful) to read your email on the web-mail servers. fireGPG can help with this in an easy way (public key encryption made easy)."

SMS Privacy
From the article linked below: USA Mobility Inc., which merged Arch and Metrocall systems in 2004, issued a statement Wednesday saying it was "troubled to learn that paging messages, including communications involving government officials, appear to have been intercepted and publicly disclosed in clear violation of federal criminal law."

They're talking about text messages sent on three networks within New York, NY on the morning of 09/11/2001.

The point being that SMS messages are as private as emails. They are captured. They are stored. They can be retrieved A LONG TIME down the road if the need arises.

Internet privacy
Rather long, but good, article on internet and telephone privacy.

Submitted Link #1: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig9/green-p3.1.1.html...

... [This is the same article that Everett #6776 mentions).

I found this tidbit to be worth exploring:

"First create a new free email account, preferably secure (https:) and offshore, then pre-share the details. All you do is save a draft, with or without attachments – for the other person to log in and pick up later. Ideally, one or both persons should use a VPN. The last one out deletes the draft. This method provides the security of a needle in a haystack and interception is highly unlikely – no email is ever sent."

Practical Internet privacy
EXCELLENT article on internet, phone, and payment privacy. He also includes the link to his previous article on the same subject. Here's an excerpt about anonymous phone calls.

On my own system, I just plug in a USB phone or headset (alt.). My daughter uses this USB cordless phone (alt.). Don’t run the CD – these particular USB phones just plug in and work fully with the "X-Lite" free soft-phone (alt.). Note: When installing X-Lite, disable "Run at start-up". Always start manually, after the VPN is connected.

I actually did a US radio interview recently using this setup, through a Luxembourg VPN. The studio called up my anonymous international number and it worked for an hour as well as any normal phone call. In this scenario, possible privacy concerns are a lower priority, and Skype might have been preferable, for higher audio quality. Note: Sign up and use Skype only with a VPN, turn off the "Run at start-up" option and only start manually after your VPN is connected.

RE: Richard 6762. I checked your link. This is for individual taxpayers who have NOT previously signed up with EFTPS. The info on that link does NOT apply if you either: [1] sign up with EFTPS ahead of time, or [2] use a tax pro. Hope this helps. Good luck.

re: #6752 jim
Jim, in your post you wrote...fedex has their own delivery signature tag, because of this fedex is someone i would not recommend...<>My q is, what is a dst and why don't you rec fedex?<>Excuse my ignorance and thank you for all of your help.

Fed Ex has a sticky door tag (Like a post it note) that requires a signature before they will leave a package by the door. They place this on the door if you are not home and you can sign this Fed Ex tag and if you are not there the next day they will then leave the package if the signed Fed Ex tag has been left on the door.

I have asked our Fed Ex driver to leave our packages and they will not do it. Our business is on a side street and we are not in a high crime area.

Fed Ex for us has different drivers and different times of delivery for there ground shipments.

Where our UPS driver comes about the same time every day and our UPS driver will leave a package by the door for us when we have stepped out of the office.

With HTBI this may work for you but it would delay your package by a day unless your driver would leave you a few DST for use when you plan to recive a package.

#6763, Richard, free SMS on free phone services
Richard, Googgle Voice supports SMS messages, but I have personally found the SMS "support" to be rather unwieldy. I have to log in to Google Voice's website, rather than actually receiving the SMS on my cell phone.

You mentioned something about being able to receive SMS from the free phone service, and I think the best you are going to be able to get with that is this: You will have to log in to google.com/voice to check your SMS messages. That, however, is better than no privacy at all.

Here's the plan:

Sign up with Google Voice with a prepaid phone. Use that prepaid phone to do everything. Did I mention that you will "enroll" the prepaid phone from a library or WiFi hot-spot using an anonymous computer and an assumed name?

When you go to retrieve the SMS messages from Google, you will need to practice "private" message retrieval practices. This is perhaps the most difficult aspect of all of HTBI practicies - the part where you *remember* to follow through *every* time you need to retrieve messages. It is *difficult* but it is *worth it!*.

Post 6758
Just to correct on point Mr. Luna. The equivalent of the SSN in Canada is the Social Insurance Number (SIN). This is the identifying number used by Canadian government to collect taxes, issue pension cheques, etc. Yes, we also have an health insurance number which is issued by the province in which you reside and it's for health care services only.

... Thanks for correcting my wrong answer, Pierre!

Form I-9 - Employment Eligibility Verification
After my move this month from KY to NY, I have been trying so hard to follow your guidelines in HTBI. No one has my physical address and I now use a PO box for everything. Even my NY driver's license has my PO box on it. But, I was really stumped when a new job I NEEDED asked me to fill out a Homeland Security Form I-9 - Employment Eligibility Verification and insisted on my physical address. My ghost address was a relative's in CT and I could not use that because my employer knew I lived in NY. Since it is the only time that I have ever given my new physical address to anyone am I okay or did I already ruin my HTBI efforts?

Submitted Link #1: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf...

... Well, Chris, the application does ask for a street address, although it may be ambiguous. (See link I added, below). If you had been temporarily living in a motel, it might have been correct to use the motel address (without room number), and later move to an apartment.

However, not having such an arrangement, you did the right thing. The data on that form can be accessed by most any government agency and if you owe any child support payments, you are in trouble. But otherwise, just keep the home address away from anyone else.

As I stress in my e-book SKIP COLLEGE, and elsewhere, the only solution for complete privacy is to be self employed.

Re 6760
I use Google voice which you only use a email addr to sign up (for now). You have a Google phone number that forwards to any phone you have. Therefore one local number. It also has call blocking & other perks. If you change your private contact number at any time, you will still get calls since you will be only giving out your Google phone number. Justa suggestion.

RE: #6758: social security number and Canada
We do have Health Insurance Numbers but they are used only for health insurance at the provincial level. Each province (like a state) administers its own health care.

Federally, there is the Social Insurance Number. The Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a nine-digit number that you need to work in Canada or to have access to government programs and benefits.

6757 - ID Theft International
A breach occurred in Spain this month that resulted in Visa and MasterCard replacing hundreds of thousands of cards all over Europe.

Identity Theft is an international problem perfected by organized crime. The attack can come from an individual on the street against a single victim, for relatively small amounts, to be used immediately - or by cells of hardened criminals against millions at a time to be used years from now to steal billions.

. . . . Cash is king.
