The Seven Principles of Privacy: 2-4
PRINCIPLE 2- Own Nothing, Live Corporately
Any tracking attempts will begin by running your name and Social Security Number through city directories, utility and DMV databases in an attempt to connect you to a physical address. Thus, a practitioner of enhanced anonymity never resides in a dwelling or gets behind the wheel of a vehicle that can be traced back to his Person of Record (the name by which he's known to the DMV, the IRS and the rest of officialdom.)
Anonymity regarding where you live and what you drive can easily be accomplished by forming a Limited Liability Company ("LLC"), a corporate shell that functions as registered owner of anything where the ownership trail would generate a public record. More later.
PRINCIPLE 3- Use A Mail Drop, Pre-Paid Phone, And Anonymous Internet Connection
Here, the advice remains the same: neither your phone number, the address at which you receive mail, nor the IP address under which you surf should be traceable to you. Any trail should dead-end somewhere in rural Romania or lead to a corporate name. And connecting this corporate name to you, personally, should be made extremely difficult, if not impossible.
PRINCIPLE 4- Minimize Contact With Government And Law Enforcement
If you’re a frequent flyer when it comes to punching 911 or accessing government programs, this is not the lifestyle for you.
There is an unspoken social contract tied to interactions with government agencies and the police. Turning to either for help is not unlike requesting a favor from the Corleone family; any assistance received carries a healthy dose of obligation. If you seek governmental or law enforcement help, expect to surrender any expectation of privacy. Don’t think you can summon the cops, then be cagy with them concerning your identity or any detail of your life about which they choose to inquire.
Similarly, a person accessing public programs in order to score taxpayer funded god-knows-what does not have a right to obfuscate their identity or duck questions. The expectation of privacy stops at the public till; those footing the bill have a right to know who is doing the accessing.
