More and more, people taking common-sense steps to incorporate resiliency into their lives are being labeled ‘insurrectionists’ and incriminated.
Here are four ways that you can upgrade your operation security.
Hide preps. If you consider it a prep or you think visitors may ask questions, then simply hide it. It doesn’t have to be hidden in a vault, and some things can be hidden in plain sight. However, you have to be aware of what people see when they walk by your home or enter it.
Be Aware of Your Kids. Children, although precious, are great at spilling the beans! “My daddy has lots of guns in his big safe.” They aren’t trying to out you—they probably think you are cool and want to tell their friends and their friend’s parents or even teachers. But public school is a field of landmines lately and the less teachers know about your personal life the better.
Modify Your Online Presence. One of the most important steps you can take is to modify your online presence by jumping out of Google, Facebook, and iChat and into technologies that are less intrusive. Here are a few to use:
Web search: Duck Duck Go
Email: Proton Mail
Texting: Signal
Group and video chat: Element
These are all examples of ways that you can search and communicate on the internet without having intrusive data collectors follow you around the whole time!
Know Your Suppliers: It’s easy to realize you need something and buy it off Amazon. You get it the next day and that prep is handled. However, that means you have left a data trail, and that could affect your operational security.
Now, you would really have to work hard to buy all of your preps with cash from different and smaller suppliers. It can be done, but will it? Most likely no. So, instead, just break up your buying patterns. Use trustworthy suppliers online, buy some from Amazon, and then buy some preps in person using cash (your credit card often knows what you’ve bought at a retailer).
It’s easy to tap that online buying vein over and over, but you just create a massive blueprint of your preparedness actions and purchases. Mix things up a bit.
Through censorship and pressure, we are going to see many voices silenced in 2021, and many other people harassed. If you can execute on operational security, you will have much less to worry about.
