hiding from U.S. government drones (guest writer #4)

[This post was transcribed from an encrypted handwritten note sent to me in an envelop without a return address.]

 

Dear Editor-in-Chief of the Intramuralist,

 

I am honored to be on your list of potential guest bloggers, but I will have to respectfully decline your invitation to write a post this year. Sorry.

 

I need to decline because for the first time in my life, I am too afraid to share my thoughts. In the past, I could have freely expressed my conservative positions without the threat of reprisal. Now, I need to remain silent because I am scared that the Obama administration will send out thugs, Chicago Style, from the IRS, FTC, FCC, EPA, NSA, FBI, CIA or DOJ to target me and take away everything that I have worked so hard to earn. The current IRS, AP and NSA scandals substantiate the plausibility or even the probability of this.

 

Our country has changed in five short years thanks to the progressive Obama administration, corrupt or compromised politicians, overly complicated tax laws, a complicit media and an uninformed populace. President Obama says that there is nothing “there there.” I believe that there is something “there there,” so I have to regretfully say no to the invitation to write on your blog.

 

Not only that, but I have gone completely off the grid:

 

• I have cancelled my Verizon smartphone with GPS that shows who I talked to and where I went.
• I have canceled my credit cards that show what I bought and where I shopped.
• You won’t find me on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube anymore.
• I have discontinued my Time Warner Cable TV. They keep track of the shows we watch.
• I have not renewed my subscriptions to the National Review and the Conservative Chronicle. I certainly do not need to be on their mailing lists.
• I have unsubscribed to the Limbaugh Letter.
• I have stopped using my computer to send emails, surf websites, and search Google. These activities are all being tracked.
• I will never send checks to conservative candidates again. My checks are being electronically traced by my bank and reviewed by the IRS. In fact, I am going to close my checking account at PNC.
• I have sold all of my stock in Caterpillar, ExxonMobil, and Goodyear and bought shares in green energy companies.
• I have shut off my Duke energy service because those smart meters record my electric and gas usage and calculate my carbon footprint. I don’t need the hypocritical Al “Jazeera” Gore including me in his next documentary.
• I have turned in my gun and canceled my NRA membership.
• I sold my car with the Onstar tracking system, and I will not be driving through EZPass toll booth lanes anymore.
• Kathleen Sebelius, the US Secretary of Health and Inhumane Services will never know about any of my medical conditions because I am not going to see a doctor ever again. I certainly don’t want every one of my diagnoses captured on a computer and shared with the administrators of the Affordable Health Act, the IRS.
• And Sebelius can look at my Walgreens loyalty card data all she wants. She will not find anything more exciting than Q-tips, multi-vitamins and Hoops and Yoyo greeting cards associated with me. In fact, from today onward, I am not going to be taking my meds anymore. My psychologist said that I am not paranoid if people are actually following me.
• Finally, I have ripped up my passport and have curbed all travel plans that can be monitored, foreign and domestic. My only regret: I didn’t move my family to Hong Kong first.

 

I am now living stress free knowing that my family, our way of life and all of our freedoms are completely protected from our overreaching and nefarious government.

 

Confidentially yours,

 

Edward Snowed-In (Pseudonym)

 

P.S.  I will be off the grid until there are term limits and tax reforms that eliminate corruption.
