"Hiccup, burp...there is no privacy!" "Until use of the Internet and any means of communicating ends, reading and viewing TV stops, and buying products, making financial transactions, loving, living and dying are chucked, there is no privacy. Still, its worth pushing back and demanding the ripping and deceiving be reduced, or at least exposed and shamed, however futile the protests. So we trudge on across the desert under the watching and drooling vultures, satellites above, taps on earth and undersea, pillow mates salving tongue-flaps. Hiccup, burp."

A little more context might have made this a better post.

Cryptome is the good side of no privacy.

Yes, please more context. My outrage-o-meter is well-worn, and needs pretty specific direction to properly fire. Note as well that if said meter is improperly fed, it is likely to turn on the feeder with unnecessary extremes of snark and derision.

This was pointed out the first time, too.

The link takes me to a confusing site that has more contextually disjointed links. I don't get it.

OU812, are you planning to keep posting links to Cryptome every week? Because it's already gotten tedious. Your previous thread was still open, if you felt the need to remind us of the organization's URL (which is all you've linked to both times). I'm flagging as a double post.

whoa. better get in quick.

i had no clue what i was supposed to look at at that site. this isn't some bizarre spam, is it.

there's still a big difference between private and mass communication. there will always be burned letters, whispered secrets, and ideas that you and i could never conceive.

I flagged it as noise. Probably those hiccups and burps that did it.

Hmm. Too early and too little coffee. I don't get it.

This is starting to have a whiff of self-link about it.

I flagged it as completely bizzare from top to bottom. 'Tonge-flaps' is a tag?

...bizarre even. Exit, stage left.
