[Illegal] eden press 100 ways to disappear and live free • 1. 100 Ways To Disappear And Live Free (C) 1972 Eden Press Revised 1985 Typed by Struct Def For other privacy oriented publications, write EDEN PRESS P.O. BOX 8410 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA 92708 INTRODUCTIONTo 'live free' means to be able to control your own lifeand to avoid violence, or the threat of violence, by others.What you do and how you do it will almost always determinewhether or not freedom will be yours. But YOU must take theresponsibility for creating your own freedom. No one,especially the 'government' will do it for you.To 'disappear' means to make it impossible for otherpeople to invade your personal world of freedom. Since mostof such invasion is by means of electronic data gathering andcross-referencing, you must be able to short-circuit theseprocedures effectively. • The most efficient method today is through the use ofwhat we call 'alternate identification'.

Animals Have the Right to Live Free of Suffering by Peter Wilson. Because animals suffer in the. Way the owner saw fit, to one in which animal rights activists and their opponents debate whether. There any moral justification for using over 100 million animals annually in this country alone for experiments, most of.

If the new namesand numbers you plug into the networks dont matchthe old ones, you have not only 'disappeared', but have alsobeen 'reborn'. And being reborn means leaving your past recordswhere they can no longer affect you and your lifestyle.This 'disappearing' of individuals is obviously discomfortingto institutions and governments determined to controlpersonal activities in the Land of the Free. To themit appears downright seditious, since in reality their powerdepends directly on the number of people they can control --through computerized records, of course.To those who actually 'disappear', however, the act isone of tremendous personal liberation. Free men owe verylittle to those who restrict opportunities on the basis of pastrecords.

An extreme example, which nevertheless appliesto all of us, is this: When a person convicted of a felonyhas served his full sentence, is he then 'free'? Hardly.What he will experience is really a LIFE SENTENCE of second-rateopportunity.And what happens to the convict, in practice, happens to*everyone* who manages to have negative personal informationplaced in his 'records'. When it comes to the point of apersons having to live with a condemning past and ever-narrowing opportunities, it becomes easily understandable • why he should be willing and anxious to scuttle his labeledidentity and take on another.Becoming a new identity, however, involves many thingsand requires careful attention to detail, as we shall show.At the heart of this process, though, is the ATTITUDE a personmust assume if he is to make it work. He must forgetabout his 'government'; he must become his own government,answerable only to himself, with his own rules, laws, andsystems of behavior. This is an existential 'moment' feware disciplined enough to experience, but it can be done.The result will be a growing detachment from BIG BROTHER anda correspoding increase of personal freedom.The individual neednt worry about what would happen 'ifeverybody else did this' because they WONT.

The object isfor individuals, acting as individuals, to declare theirmental independence from whatever System is attempting toenslave them. As individuals they are the best judges of whatdegree of slavery they can accept, how far down the roadthey can go before becoming robots for BIG BROTHER. Simplyput, its the Sheep and the Wolves. The Sheep go to slaughter,the Wolves wherever they wish.There are numerous intermediate tactics between totalcompliance and complete disappearance, such as refusing togive your Social Security number (or giving it incorrectly),avoiding taxes, obtaining several foreign citizenships and • passports, setting up bank accounts in several other countries,and planning at least two routes of escape to other countries,but in the end you will discover there really is no freedomin the world -- *YOU MUST CREATE YOUR OWN*.

You mustlearn how to protect your own rights as you define them. Noone else will do it for you, *NO ONE*.The object of this publication is to suggest ways anindividual can, in practice, escape his past and secure anew future, *on his own terms*. Individuals will vary greatlyin how they carry out their disappearances, and it is ourhope that the ideas we present here are useful towards thoseends. We make no claims of completeness or of exhaustingthe subject, as that could be potentially dangerous wereindividuals to rely solely on this information.We must stress that everyone should think over his situationas carefully as possible, and then pick and choosewhich among our methods are best suited for his needs. Aboveall, he must begin using his head, trusting his hunches andinstincts, and thinking of himself as separate, different,and even superior to those stuck in the System. He willhave to become a Wolf. He must stand alone to be free.--Barry Reid January 1978 II.

LIVING FREE • Avoid attending church. If you must, however, use an alias whenattending, and make contributions in cash, never by check. If you areasked by inquisitive neighbors what church you attend, either name oneof a different faith than theirs or deny interest completely. Givethe minister totally false information about yourself, as these goodfolks are great gossips when approached by snoops.Never tell neighbors where or for whom you work. Give them falseinformation on this subject. If you are paid by check, DONT depositthe paycheck in any account with your name on it.

The best idea is togo to the bank on which it is drawn and cash it there. If you makea regular practice of this, avoid becoming familiar with any tellersor other bank personnel. Vary the times and days for visiting the bank.Visit different branches of the bank, too.Another check cashing tip: avoid getting it cashed at your favoritebar or tavern. FBI agents probably spend at least a third of theirworking hours hanging around such places, as they seem to attract thekinds of people they are looking for.

Anytime there is a bank robbery,the *first* places the FBI check out are all the bars within the immediatevicinity of the robbery. Its true because it works.Be wary of answering 'personal' ads in newspapers, as well as joboffers too neatly tailored to the type of work you did before disappearing.If the ad calls for replying to a box number at the newspaper, disregardtotally: its very likely to be a trap. Reply only to ads that canguarantee not having to give yourself away, such as offers for appointments • at known companies. If phone numbers are provided in the ad, call onlyfrom a pay phone. Theres always a possibility you might be callingdirectly to a bill collector or private investigator who will giveyou enough patter to smoke you out.For some really unique ways to find employment, Eden Press distributes'HOW TO STEAL A JOB', literally every dishonest way there is to gainhonest employment. With the techniques in this book, YOU can call allthe shots. Well worth reading even for those who already have a job,too.

Someone could be gunning you. This book will open your eyes.On the job, avoid giving background information to fellow workers.If youre planning to stay on the job only for a short while, however, makean effort to plant false and misleading information in the minds of theother workers, such as your favorite pastimes, places youd like to travelto or live someday, and your plans for the future. Insulate your privateself by keeping your personal interests and ideas to yourself alone.Share the spurious with the curious.Dont subscribe to any local newspapers delivered by carriers.Buy what you need at a newsrack. These cute kids have sometimes been'helpful' sources of information about peoples habits at home.Dont be obvious in your living habits. Turn lights off at a decenthour, keep stereo music from annoying neighbors, dont place emptypony kegs on the front porch, and dont have pets that stray or annoy.Dont do major engine overhauls in the driveway, either. • Be very careful about who comes to see you at your residence.Avoid anything unusual which might spark the interest of neighbors.If what you do or the people with whom you must deal are 'interesting',it might be best to arrange get-togethers elsewhere.

Keep your nestclean--good 'criminal' advice.Avoid using banks except for actually cashing checks given you byother people. Try to conduct your affairs with cash and money orders.When using the latter, never write your name on the face or the linemarked 'Payer'. Use fake names, account numbers, or business names.For most purposes money orders can be considered 'untraceable',since the issuing institutions (American Express, banks, US Post Office)file the paid orders *by number only*, not by other criteria which mighttend to give you away. People and businesses to whom you might remitmoney orders virtually never record this number, either.

They areusually happy to be paid by money order and will consider it the sameas cash. Individuals wanting to hide income and/or otherwise disguisetheir financial dealings find money orders most useful in shortchangingthe bandits at IRS, too.Undertakers are another source like ministers, in that they aregood talkers. If you have to deal with one, be on your guard with whatyou tell him. If you are called on to provide information for a deathcertificate, give him only the data he actually needs.

It should beeasy to appear too grief-stricken to want to chat.Whenever you need the services of a physician, dentist, hospital, etc., • make it standard practice to use an alias and an address other than whereyou live. Recite--dont display--your 'drivers licence'number and Social Security Number, making sure that they are totally fake.Other data requested, such as employer, birthdate, etc., should bemisleading. Ignore the 'warning' at the top of some hospital formsthat federal law requires honest information. Weve never heard ofanyone getting busted for such a 'crime' who also paid his bill. Fraudis fraud, but identity is your business.

Medical records are verydefinitely NOT confidential. How else would life and health insurancecompanies be able to decide so imperiously who 'deserves' their coverage,and at what rates.? For most people, medical insurance itself is afraud.Dont have milk or other items delivered to you on a regular schedule.The fewer people seen calling at you residence, the safer. Neighborswill often notice home deliveries, which can prove to be fertile leadsfor future snoops.Avoid membership in political groups or other civic organizations.As a rule these groups are filled with super sneaky, nosey individualsmore willing than not to stab someone in the back if it suits theirselfish purposes. Total snakes.Arrange to have your mail sent to a 24-hour Post Office box, to amail drop, or a mail forwarding service. This way the only mail to beleft at your residence will be the 'Occupant' variety.

Make it a ruleNEVER to sign for certified or registered mail. Tell the carrier thatyou are not the person named on the receipt, or that so-and-so moved • months ago. Or was it Australia?Avoid having arguments or run-ins with neighbors. An old, unresolvedgrudge might be just the spark that sends an investigator to yournew location. 'Getting even' is a passion few people can resist.If a snoop is trying to trace you by telephone he may invite you tocall him person-to-person collect. *DONT DO IT.* Ignore the request,no matter what the excuse is.

You might be tempted with some pie-in-the-sky lie, but what hes really after is your *location*. If you dontgive yourself away in the conversation, he will simply call the operatorback for time and charges, and while shes at it, the location ofthe telephone originating the call.

She will be only too happy to help.If you have to live in a motel, hotel, or nosey apartment complex,always make it a point to be ordinaty and outwardly polite to anyemployees on the premises. Give them no reason to remember you otherthan as a normal person. Freaky behavior is easily noticed andremembered by telephone operators, janitors, maids, superintendents,house detectives, and bell boys. Tips make them TALK, too.Its safest not to take in roomers or boarders, even though they canhelp with expenses and provide companionship. The fact is, theycan get 'too close' to you by picking up all kinds of informationtidbits which could come back to haunt you should certain kinds ofthird parties start pumping them.

Even though you might feel youcould trust them, its very easy for a friend to give you away.innocently. • In changing to a new identity within the same general area, make ityour policy to patronize none of the commercial establishments youdid before your name change. This would include service-orientedbusinesses, too, such as shoe repairs, TV repairs, photographers,cleaners, poodle parlors and massage parlors. If you or a memberof your family had been assisted by such charity organizations as theMarch of Dimes or Community Chest, make sure that future aid is obtainedfrom some other organization.If you need to have prescriptions filled often, do two things:1) Have them filled by different pharmacies; dont patronize the sameone repeatedly, and, 2) Never give the pharmacist your correct addressand/or telephone number.

If you are in need of continuing prescription,such as for certain heart conditions or diabetes, consider having itfilled by mail from one of the large interstate mail-order pharmacies.These outfits usually offer greatly reduced prices as well, as theyare willing to deal in generics, as opposed to strictly name-branddrugs. Check em out.Try to avoid all contact with law enforcement people. They arelike sponges whenever they deal with the public: they take in endlessquantities of information whether you are the victim or the perpetrator.When approached by investigators and spies, they just love to spill outall they know, and sometimes get in on the act themselves. Avoid troubleand avoid cops.Credit bureaus and department stores will have credit files on you • if youve used them in the past.

It would be safest to avoid using creditin the future, but if you need to get plugged back in the credit scene, itwould be advisable first to read our own book, 'CREDIT', tosee how credit can be set up from scratch under new identity. This usefulbook has the kind of inside information one needs to make the credit-granting system perform to his special situation.If you follow our suggestions regarding delivery of your mail, youwill naturally never accept any Registered or Certified mail at youraddress. Since the carrier will never know your identity by leavingonly mail addressed 'Occupant', you can safely tell him who you arenot whoever is named on the piece of mail he is trying to deliver. Dontbe rude or arrouse suspicion; simply help him do his job by telling himthere is no such person at your address. If he asks who *you* are, hesout of line. He will return the letter marked 'Unable to Deliver at thisAddress', or 'Unknown at this Address', or something else to the sameeffect.Sometimes snoops will address mail to a fictitious person 'care of'your last known name and address in the hopes it will be forwarded(somehow), and that you will have the stupidity to return it to themwith your new address (provided by you).

Any suspicious or unfamiliarmail with your new address should simply be marked 'Unknown', 'Return toSender', etc., and deposited in a public mail box for return.If the letter doesnt come back to the sender because you kept itor chucked it, he may well try again with something more enticing, or • even pay a personal visit. Tracing by mail is the cheapest route forsnoopers, so be on the lookout for any mail youre not expecting orseems the slightest bit suspicious.

This will be the opening salvoin any investigation to determine your whereabouts. *Watch your mail!*Providing any information other that return instructions per abovecan invite disaster, too.

Putting on a fake forwarding address, or evena 'General Delivery' notice, will tell the sender, when the letter isreturned, that *someone* at the address on the letter knows more than hedoes. Chinnari Pellikuthuru Serial In Hindi Version more. The 'Registered Letter', physical surveillance, or a personalvisit will be his next move. You can count on it.Be especially watchful for any letters with an 'Attorneys' returnaddress. They deserve no more respect than any other letter.

If yourenot expecting correspondence from your own attorney, its very likely afake name used by an investigator. This gambit is many times used onthird parties (close relatives of yours) in the hopes they know whereyou really are and that they have the 'courtesy' to forward the letterto you. This is a good reason for you NOT to tell relatives where youcan be reached. If they dont know, they cant tell.If you can trust a particular person to forward items to your P.O.box or mail forwarding service, at least instruct them to place theletter in another (cover) envelope so that no forwarding instructions areon the face of the original envelope. You can decide what to do withthe mail when you get it. If you want it returned, do NOT drop it in abox in your area--the stamp of the main post office near you will likelybe on the envelope, much to the glee of the sender. Either send it backto your friend in still another envelope for him to remail locally, or • use a mail forwarding service in a distant city to remail per yourinstructions.

Again, *BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR MAIL*. Knowing how to dealwith your mail is vital to disappearing. Think first before acting!!Avoid drawing attention to yourself.

Dont exhibit 'socially unacceptable'behavior PUBLICLY. Cops are programmed to bust anyone who appears'suspicious' (different from them). Jails, psycho wards, and prisonsarent exactly 'free'.Your appearance, possessions and actions should always justify yourpresence on a legitimate (conventional) basis. This is the bestway to avoid suspicion.If you are stopped and questioned, always be able to give a reasonableexplanation of why you where there, where you are from, and where youare going.

Smile and be 'helpful'.A sullen or hostile attitude triggers the cops for a bust--your bust.So go ahead and 'Kill the Pigs'--with kindness. Youll win by keepingyour freedom, dig?Even perfectly legal behavior can arouse suspicion.

Avoid suchthings as solitary walks late at night, or wearing clothing inappropriatefor the weather. Store detectives love to follow shoppers wearingoversized clothing, too. The police find it easy, even entertaining, topin stray raps on such 'suspicious' characters.

Days and weeks can goby before they decide theyve made a 'mistake'. • Examine your daily habits and eliminate any which might possibly be regarded as 'peculiar', especially if performed publicly.

Live in a large city where you can have the protection of anonymity. Avoid small towns where the only sport is gossip--about you. Your business should be no one elses. Appear to be lower-middle class in your standard of living. Dont attract the attention given the very poor or the obviously well-off.

Rent a house or apartment that appears 'respectable', but no more plush than the average cop can afford. If you like to live it up, do it somewhere other than around where you live and work. Try Las Vegas, New York, Jamaica, Tokyo, Fiji.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MAY WE RECOMMEND.?

Dont be black or white as long as gray has so many shades. Be clean and neat, never showy or gaudy. Conformity for guys means neat beard (if any), no long hair or freaky clothes. Biker 'colors' are out.

For the ladies, no sexy, convention-flaunting attire such as miniskirts and see-thru blouses without underwear. The man LOVES to drool over 'liberated' lassies, and often does more.

Have conventional answers to common questions such as where you are from, where you work, where your family lives, etc. Be vague, however.

Theres less heat in telling plausible lies than in countering with self-righteous silence. The object is to avoid suspicion, so be a 'reasonable' person. Lying is not illegal unless you are under oath or perpetrating a fraud. When confronted by federal agents or other law enforcement officers, you have no obligation to talk to them. If you do, however, make sure • you dont lie.

Making false statements to federal officers *is* a bust!A good way to turn the 'meeting' in your favor, is to inform the officerthat he should take up the matter with your attorney, whose name andaddress you are willing to provide. If you dont have an attorney atpresent, tell him you are in the process of obtaining one, and that youwill so notify him when you do. This will tell the agent-snoop that1) you are a cool customer who knows how to take care of himself byknowing his rights, and 2) that for him to deal with your attorney willbe tantamount to having to take you to court--something hes obviouslynot (yet) ready to do. Your talking to the officer could very likelyinsure you an earlier court date.if thats what you want. Talespin Full Episodes In Hindi Free Download here. Its perfectly moral to lie to someone who asks about things whichare none of his business. HE is the one acting immorally.

Dont forget!Dont throw wild parties. Far too many busts come courtesy of tender-eared, blue-nosed, fink-ass neighbors.Dont make speed, DMT, THC, acid, or nitro in your kitchen. Window sillsarent the safest places to cultivate, either.Hold your stereo down to 'mood level' late at night.

Not everyonemellows out with Led Zepplin or the Stones.Your neighbors are the most dangerous people you know. You caninclude relatives here, too. They will ALL snitch without compunction.' Calling the cops' is fair sport in towns of all sizes, so dontantagonize. Be friendly, stay friendly--but on your terms. • Be superficially 'nice' to your neighbors, but have as little as possibleto do with them. Ideally, you dont want them to know *anything* aboutyou.Even if you observe all these precautions you might still be harrasedby criminals, both private and public.

Whatever you do, dontblow your cover and thus lead them to suspect you. Keep your temper,be humble and polite, and refrain from shouting matches and/or slugfests.Remember you are a minority of one. 'They' still have the guns and bars.If youre not content, however, to let vengeance be the Lords, atleast abide by this cardinal rule of guerrilla warfare: Dont let theenemy determine your tactics. Retaliate at a time and place withweapons of your choosing.Any activity which might attract unfavorable attention, such aswriting, nude photography, erotic sculpture, etc., should be done undera 'nom de plume'. Provide a separate address for any such names.

P.O.boxes are fine.Never express controversial opinions around home or at work. If youpreach, do it in another town or state.Avoid being fingerprinted.

Dont apply for civil service jobs.The FBI would like to have everyone fingerprinted so they could*control* individual lives, but so far theyve been stopped. • Stay out of the armed forces.

Here again fingerprinting labelsyou forever with the only method of positive identification.Dont apply for security clearances or seek employment in firmswhich routinely fingerprint.Dont take part in mass demonstrations or dissident activities whichmight lead to mass arrests. Fingerprinting would surely follow.The thumbprint required on applications for drivers licences in manystates (like California) does *not* go to the FBI. It is kept withthe applications 'on file', and its main purpose seems to be that ofpsychological deterrence. The states make no efforts to classify thethumbprints, and the FBI is not interested in helping.

Applicants whownat to make sure their thumbprints are absolutely worthless willpress extra hard and make a slight twisting movement with their thumb asit is being printed. The result is a perfect smudge--worthless.NEVER order utility services in your real name. Utility companiesare the first watering hole for skip tracers.Keep your name out of public records, such as business licences,permits, tax accounts. Operate under another name or use another personas a front. Its very easy to file 'fictitious firm name statements'using minimal ID.Always subscribe to magazines and newspapers under alternate names.Pay by mail using money orders. Dont have your name on the money order.

• Likewise, always order merchandise by mail under an alias. Again,Pay with money orders without your name on them.Own real estate under either a cooperative relatives name, or afictitious one created especially for the purpose. Names of phoneybusinesses work well here, as it is perfectly understandable and justifiedfor a business to own real property. Since real estate transactionsare almost always at 'arms length', it is quite simple to hide behindyour agent or broker. In this area money talks more loudly than youdo, so its not too difficult to arrange things to suit yourself.If you have to vote use your 'legal' address. Just make sure you dontlive there. So-called 'voter ID cards' are a snap to obtain, as noproof of identity is required.

The only 'security' for the registrationprocess is your sworn statement.Protect the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of your friends.Use a code of your own making to disguise the actual names and numbers,or try to memorize what you need to know. Youd be amazed at how muchyou can remember in this area if you make the effort.Try to avoid carrying this coded address book with you. Cops alwaysflash on such items, and so-called 'rings' are usually busted thisway. A smart thing to do would be to carry a dummy book of names andnumbers selected at random from the phone book. Keep your working bookstashed in a safe place. • This practice protects you, too, inasmuch as suspicion is cast on youshould some of your friends be busted and their names appear in your book.Dont engage in illegal activity on other peoples property withouttheir express consent. Save the dope and skin scenes for places whereno one else can get rousted besides the actual participants.Dont ask questions which intrude on the privacy of others.

Askgeneral questions, not specific. One might not want you to know *where*he works, but wouldnt mind telling you his occupation.Adopt the attitude that personal information such as your schoolbackground, national origin, interests, politics, family income, etc.,are NO ONES business but your own.

And stick to it!! Snooping willthereby become so difficult that suspicion will be cast on the snooperrather than on you.When faced with such an inquisitive person, have prepared a set of standardanswers which you can deliver without discomfort or concern. But if theperson is really obnoxious, give him some out-and-out lies, which, when'reported' in the right places, will make him look more like the ass he is.Dont request receipts unless the amount is large. Make them intelligibleonly to the parties involved. Remember that cash still has no names on it,which is why Big Brother can hardly wait for the day of the 'cashless'society.One CAUTION, however: Most banks have well established policies for • recording serial numbers of large denomination bills whenever they aredeposited or withdrawn in large amounts.

ALL transactions of $10,000or more are reported to the IRS. So play small and remain inconspicuous.Payment of taxes of all kinds should be largely a matter of personalconvictions. The public debate on 'tax protest' is endless, soonly a few generally-observed practices will be mentioned here.The basic rule, in which even the IRS concurs, is pay only whatyou are liable for.

This means taking advantage of any and all loopholesto the fullest with the ultimate aim of paying no tax whatsoever.Dont forget, however, that most federal prisons have rather distinguishedpopulations of tax-evading accountants, attorneys, businessmen, andpoliticians. If avoiding personal income tax, both state and federal, isyour goal, by all means study well or seek competent advice. Texas andNevada still have no state income taxes, in case youre thinking ofrelocating to beat some taxes.Sales and use taxes can often be avoided by buying consumer itemsthrough personal channels such as friends, bazaars, swap meets (some),classified want ads, bartering, and business exchanges.
