My Twitter (X) account was ‘suspended’ (banned) on July 23rd 2026 for “violating X rules against inauthentic behaviors”. Of course, they didn’t specify exactly what behaviors of mine were ‘inauthentic’. That would probably reveal too much about their true motives. As far as I can tell, I was using my account in the same way I did for the past 2 years at least. Read more ⟶

Think carefully before getting tested for HIV
For moral and ethical reasons, I feel obligated to share the information in this article and cannot help but place major question marks around how easily the so-called ‘authorities’ burden people with the consequences of a ‘positive’ HIV test.

Your device may not actually be turning off
One of the important things to realize these days is that when you turn a device off, it may not actually be turning off.

It was clear from that post that if you work at Big Tech companies or companies doing any kind of sensitive work, some of your co-workers are probably connected to 3-letter agencies such as the NSA, CIA and even Mossad. These days the problem is only getting worse; let’s take a look at some examples. Read more ⟶

How printouts and photos can deanonymize you
Think printing a letter keeps you anonymous? Think again. Your printer is actually a snitch. Most color laser printers secretly add invisible yellow dots on every page, called the Machine Identification Code (MIC). This hidden code includes the printer’s serial number and the exact date and time the page was printed. You can’t see these dots, but the authorities can detect them using a special blue light.
