Proparanoid Outreach Options
Includes Privacy Policy and Security Suggestions
(see How to Ask For Help)
USE (per outreach) of the following contact and communications methods:
Email - I try to answer
every single serious email but they must be short and to
the point. Don't be as wordy as my books and articles! I don't need a lot
of background information or long lists of events or 'proofs'. Just the
facts, nothing but. IF YOU GET NO ANSWER AND GET NO ERROR MESSAGE, please
try again. Still no answer means possible deliberate interference. Try
the alternate addresses and if still no answer, try using a new email account
you establish for yourself using a Web page (browser application, not email
application) based account such as free through Yahoo, Netscape, and so
forth. That can help to see WHO is being interferred with, you or me.

SNAIL - I am not very good at answering
written mail unless there is an email address included. I do try. I WILL
NOT answer any letter that does not follow the instructions in How To Ask
For Help, below. You can reach me at:
PO 1941 Clackamas, Or 97015.
My General Mailing List - You may request
to be added to my general mailing list. I do not bombard people with junk
mail. I send out notices of radio appearances, new books, and perhaps three
times a year I wax paranoid enough to send out a warning about something
new I've learned which I find scary enough to share. Actually, prior to
911, there was only one such panic message. Since, there have been three.
About twice a year, I send out an article as a kind of teaser for the newsletter.
A free sample is available on request - see next.
FREE Sample Newsletter
- You may request a FREE SAMPLE NEWSLETTER. You will get the newsletter
by email (.pdf Acrobat file) AND be added to my General Mailing List.
If you do NOT wish to be added to the mailing list, SAY SO and it will
be done -- you will then get ONE email follow-up to remind you to subscribe
to the Newsletter (more like beg you to subscribe...)
How to GET HELP -
You
may request my FREE HELPS
KIT. If you are a targeted individual or represent a targeted
company or group, you may wish to consider my consulting services. No charge
to talk about it, and the free HELPS kit is useful to help BOTH you AND
I to decide if there is a likelihood that I can indeed help. The range
of helps I offer and their relative expense (some free) are rather flexible,
as the helps kit reveals, all the way up to direct intervention (extremely
NOT free). If you request the HELPS KIT you will ALSO get the Newsletter
sample. Please Read the next section BEFORE requesting help.
I offer honorarium based consulting helps and, for clients with a serious
need, direct intervention. A wide range of
specialized and innovative tools have been developed to aid the process
and are a part of the various helps options. If
you are a victim of any form of undue (have committed no crime) investigation,
harassment, or targeting -
REGARDLESS OF SOURCE (do not be afraid to discuss mind control or other
exotic topics), please request the
HELPS Information Packet, which describes the range of services I offer,
as will as defining what we can reasonably
expect to achieve. Please read the remainder of this section and the privacy
section before asking for help.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM LENGTHY EXPLANATIONS with your request. You need provide
no event
details or proofs to convince me of your problem. A single short generic
paragraph will do.
EMAIL SECURITY: It is suggested that you get a FREE email account through
Netscape (click icon at screen
left) in order to increase email security. Use that account whenever communicating
with me. A browser-based email
utility such as provided by Netscape eliminates the actual email data stream
associated with a regular email client (i.e.
MS Outlook.) This means anyone monitoring your email CANNOT see Netscape
mail, outbound or inbound. There
is the further advantage that you can easily check and send mail from any
computer anywhere in the world as long
as it is attached to the Web.
BROWSER SECURITY: For similar security reasons, I also advise you consider
switching from Microsoft
Explorer to Netscape as your primary Browser. There is a button at the
left for that, too - use it BEFORE getting
the free email account. I personally prefer Netscape and never use Microsoft
products (ESPECIALLY XP!) because
they are inherently prone to hacking techniques and to acting as automated
gateways for virus imports, and because
many Microsoft products have historically used back-door links at registration
and possibly at other times which
allow Microsoft to snoop the contents of your hard drive.
DISCLAIMER: It should be understood that only you can know your personal
situation well enough to make an
informed decision. Because of the natural inherent difficulties in communicating
at a distance and over time, it is
unlikely that I can ever be fully informed on the precise nature of your
problems. Thus any advice I offer is meant
only to provide suggestions of additional possibilities which you may not
yourself see or be aware of. It is your
responsibility, and your responsibility alone, to review all options before
electing any course of action you deem most
appropriate. Any and all consequences of such actions are your responsibility.
I can make no guarantee that any
advice I offer is suitable to any particular applicability to your situation.
Only you can decide such matters.
While here, now - please read the PRIVACY POLICY below, which can also
impact on your situation.
PRIVACY POLICY
1) VISITS ~ For security reasons, a log of all visitors to this Web site
is maintained just t is with at all Web sites of
any importance. It tracks all page visits and downloads. Normally, such
records cannot be used to identify a specific
visitor, but there can be exceptions, even where the visitor has taken
steps to thwart identification. In point of fact,
no fewer than fourteen federal 'terminals' located within high-security
facilities have been identified despite an
undoubtedly high confidence by the user in their stealthiness. This collected
information can normally be accessed
only by H. Michael Sweeney (hereinafter referred to as "the Author') and
the ISP hosting professionals at
Macconnections as part of their normal efforts to deter/detect/defeat hacking
attempts and to calculate site traffic
statistics.
CAUTION ~ Advanced government and hacker methods are known to be able to
bypass normal PC-based ISP
security and thus able to snoop such files. This is not considered possible
at this site because it is a Mac-based ISP
selected for that very reason - the same reason that even CIA uses Macintosh.
However, anyone concerned over this
possibility should also understand that the same sources that have that
capability would also have the capability to
simply monitor your every Web transaction directly. For information on
a means for possible detection/deterrence to
such abuse of your right to privacy, read about VISUAL ROUTE Software for
PC users here:
<http://home.earthlink.net/~leslemke/kgb1.htm>, or contact me for similar
Macintosh software.
2) EMAIL~ The Author is the only person to access email under any general
prefix @ proparanoid.net. The same
general hacking/snooping concerns expressed in (1) above apply - especially
with the advent of FBI's Carnivore
snooping software. The Author urges you to NEVER send sensitive information
to him via email, and make
no attempt to do so by mail or other means without prior discussion on
methodology and your specific
need and reason. As a general rule , it should be unnecessary in the first
place! For information on how to
improve email security, please read the Getting Help section of this page.
3) CONFIDENTIALITY~ All communications and information relayed to the Author
by any means is held in the
strictest of confidence. As an author and investigative writer, the Author
will not and cannot be forced, even
under the law, to reveal any information relayed in confidence. Not even
a court order will result in
betrayal of any such confidence. Even casual contact falls under the umbrella
of 'research' for the purpose, so
nothing about your situation or existence will be mentioned to any other
person, group, or agency, except as
possible generic reference to the nature of a given generic problem experienced
by a generic person and any possible
generic solution as recommended -- without any mention of you by name or
by circumstance which might betray
your identity. Where referral or forwarding of information to other parties
may be appropriate, referrals will be only
by permission of the other party, or by permission to pass your contact
information along to the other party.
Outbound email to multiple parties will NEVER include cc or other readable
coaddressee information, deferring
instead to blind cc methods, unless those persons are part of an agreed
upon discussion group (such as Flight 800)
which normally freely communicates with each other openly.
EXCEPTIONS ~ The Author reserves the right to privately or publicly reveal
to select or entirety of information
about you to the public or to any person(s) or authority where such information
might prevent or report a crime or
a breach of National Security. The Author maintains back-channel and front-door
contact with various law
enforcement, FBI, Secret Service, NSA, CIA, and Military Intelligence for
the purpose. The Author also reserves the
right to reveal in any way deemed appropriate any information or source
of information (or disinformation) which
represents an attack on his person, reputation, credibility, or the credibility
of any topic or material he might choose
to offer in public, or which may similarly defend any person, group, or
cause for whom the Author has elected to
provide help or aid.
4) MARKETING INFORMATION ~ Marketing information directly or indirectly
imparted by contact through
The Professional Paranoid Web site is seldom used. If used at all, it will
be used ONLY by the Author in promoting
his books, services, or the books and services of Feral House (publisher
of The Professional Paranoid) or other
publishers or business partners of the Author. However, any such joint
use will not be done in a way which allows
these partners to have access to your name, contact information, or specifics
about you except where prior
permission is obtained. All such promotion will otherwise be generated
and
managed directly by the Author, only,
who prefers to reserve application for core interesteds, only. See Your
Rights , below.
EXCEPTIONS ~ Like many Web sites this site has some limited advertising
buttons/banners/links, which are to
preferred vendors of security/privacy software, products, or services.
Ironic though it is, these vendors do employ
traditional use of cookies and Web bugs for marketing purposes. This is
no different than any other site where you
find such buttons/banners/links, and the use or misuse of such information
is dependent chiefly on the privacy policy
of the vendor. A more reputable vendor, and one dealing in privacy issues,
tends to run a tighter ship. However, if
you wish to STOP vendors from accessing such information about you entirely,
5) STORAGE~ Files regarding email and other contact with The Professional
Paranoid Web site and the Author
are maintained on his computer for weeks or months at a time. These are
frequently backed up to CD and placed in
a safe deposit box for long term reference, and the original files are
purged from the computer once their age would
dictate them less useful. There is a special set of back up hard drives
and CDs distributed around the world in a very
secure manner which can be counted upon in case of severe harm to myself,
my family, my computer, Web site etc.
A mechanism for decoding and distributing files contained on these broadly
to appropriate international parties and
agencies is in place. This protects all concerned in the event of
foul play.
6) YOUR RIGHTS ~ You at anytime may feel free to place restrictions on
how information about you is kept
and/or used by the Author. Every attempt will be made to obey your wishes
and to follow the law with respect to
such rights. Requests may be by email or in writing (PO 1941, Clackamas,
OR 97015). Written confirmation may be
required and requested in certain cases where the possibility exists for
fraudulent representation in an attempt to
sabotage an existing relationship or to prevent helps from being offered
to a victim.
