INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
To "live free" means to be able to control your own life
|
|
and to avoid violence, or the threat of violence, by others.
|
|
What you do and how you do it will almost always determine
|
|
whether or not freedom will be yours. But YOU must take the
|
|
responsibility for creating your own freedom. No one,
|
|
especially the "government" will do it for you.
|
|
To "disappear" means to make it impossible for other
|
|
people to invade your personal world of freedom. Since most
|
|
of such invasion is by means of electronic data gathering and
|
|
cross-referencing, you must be able to short-circuit these
|
|
procedures effectively.
|
|
|
|
The most efficient method today is through the use of
|
|
what we call "alternate identification". If the new names
|
|
and numbers you plug into the networks don't match
|
|
the old ones, you have not only "disappeared", but have also
|
|
been "reborn". And being reborn means leaving your past records
|
|
where they can no longer affect you and your lifestyle.
|
|
|
|
This "disappearing" of individuals is obviously discomforting
|
|
to institutions and governments determined to control
|
|
personal activities in the Land of the Free. To them
|
|
it appears downright seditious, since in reality their power
|
|
depends directly on the number of people they can control --
|
|
through computerized records, of course.
|
|
|
|
To those who actually "disappear", however, the act is
|
|
one of tremendous personal liberation. Free men owe very
|
|
little to those who restrict opportunities on the basis of past
|
|
records. An extreme example, which nevertheless applies
|
|
to all of us, is this: When a person convicted of a felony
|
|
has served his full sentence, is he then "free"? Hardly.
|
|
What he will experience is really a LIFE SENTENCE of second-rate
|
|
opportunity.
|
|
|
|
And what happens to the convict, in practice, happens to
|
|
*everyone* who manages to have negative personal information
|
|
placed in his "records". When it comes to the point of a
|
|
person's 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 labeled
|
|
identity and take on another.
|
|
|
|
Becoming a new identity, however, involves many things
|
|
and requires careful attention to detail, as we shall show.
|
|
At the heart of this process, though, is the ATTITUDE a person
|
|
must assume if he is to make it work. He must forget
|
|
about his "government"; he must become his own government,
|
|
answerable only to himself, with his own rules, laws, and
|
|
systems of behavior. This is an existential "moment" few
|
|
are disciplined enough to experience, but it can be done.
|
|
The result will be a growing detachment from BIG BROTHER and
|
|
a correspoding increase of personal freedom.
|
|
|
|
The individual needn't worry about what would happen "if
|
|
everybody else did this" because they WON'T. The object is
|
|
for individuals, acting as individuals, to declare their
|
|
mental independence from whatever System is attempting to
|
|
enslave them. As individuals they are the best judges of what
|
|
degree of slavery they can accept, how far down the road
|
|
they can go before becoming robots for BIG BROTHER. Simply
|
|
put, it's the Sheep and the Wolves. The Sheep go to slaughter,
|
|
the Wolves wherever they wish...
|
|
|
|
There are numerous intermediate tactics between total
|
|
compliance and complete disappearance, such as refusing to
|
|
give 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 freedom
|
|
in the world -- *YOU MUST CREATE YOUR OWN*. You must
|
|
learn how to protect your own rights as you define them. No
|
|
one else will do it for you, *NO ONE*.
|
|
The object of this publication is to suggest ways an
|
|
individual can, in practice, escape his past and secure a
|
|
new future, *on his own terms*. Individuals will vary greatly
|
|
in how they carry out their disappearances, and it is our
|
|
hope that the ideas we present here are useful towards those
|
|
ends. We make no claims of completeness or of exhausting
|
|
the subject, as that could be potentially dangerous were
|
|
individuals to rely solely on this information.
|
|
|
|
We must stress that everyone should think over his situation
|
|
as carefully as possible, and then pick and choose
|
|
which among our methods are best suited for his needs. Above
|
|
all, he must begin using his head, trusting his hunches and
|
|
instincts, and thinking of himself as separate, different,
|
|
and even superior to those stuck in the System. He will
|
|
have to become a Wolf. He must stand alone to be free.

I. DISAPPEARING
|
|
|
|
If you need to dump your car, sell it yourself to a private party
|
|
for cash. Be very careful not to reveal anything to this person about
|
|
your real plans or reasons for selling. He would be an ideal source of
|
|
information of this nature for snoopers, thanks to the efficiency of
|
|
auto registration systems throughout the country. The buyer will, of
|
|
course, be an excellent place to dump your *fake* information...
|
|
|
|
Once you relocate, should you need another car, pay cash for it
|
|
even if it represents lowering your "status". Delay registering it as
|
|
long as possible. By the time you do, hopefully you will have
|
|
established a new identity completely unknown to the last owner of
|
|
the car.
|
|
|
|
Changing completely your "profile" of the type of car you drive
|
|
might help reinforce your new identity, too. If you last had a large,
|
|
domestic, expensive car, try for small, foreign, economy car. Avoid
|
|
splashy colors and styling, however. Look dull. Red cars get more
|
|
attention from highway patrols--a proven fact.
|
|
|
|
If you need to move large amounts of personal property and can't
|
|
handle the job yourself, hire some "no name" movers from a city or two
|
|
away, and have them put your stuff in some kind of public storage where
|
|
you control access. Days, weeks, or months later, have another mover
|
|
transfer your goodies to your new address. Plan this latter move for a
|
|
time when you feel there might be the least chance of surveillance of
|
|
the storage premises. *DO IT QUICK*. Avoid any intervening visits to
|
|
check up on your stored items. Remember, too, to give false and
|
|
misleading information to the agents who rent the storage space to you.
|
|
|
|
Sever all ties with any unions, clubs, lodges, or other organizations
|
|
to which you belong. Become a "lost" member. It's best to leave
|
|
these groups "cold", that is, don't go around cashing your interests
|
|
in special funds or private accounts to the point where it becomes
|
|
obvious you're intending to pull up stakes. Leave a few bucks on the
|
|
books.
|
|
|
|
*Never* send in Change-of-Address forms to publishers of magazines
|
|
or other periodicals, and certainly don't leave such a form at the local
|
|
Post Office. Your mail will be returned to sender stamped, "Moved,
|
|
left no forwarding address", or "Unable to Forward", or words to this
|
|
effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Never become friendly with the landlord. Hold up your end of the
|
|
rental agreement, and he will undoubtably be pleased to leave you
|
|
completely alone. Landlords are fertile sources of information for
|
|
snoops, so consider every conversation with them the same as if you
|
|
were talking with the FBI. In this case, however, you are perfectly
|
|
free to lie, mislead, and deceive all day long with impunity, so DO IT.
|
|
Remember, however, that if you burn him for the rent when you split, you
|
|
will gain not only an unpaid creditor but also an enemy who will bend
|
|
over twice to help skip tracers.
|
|
|
|
Life insurance should be cancelled or allowed to lapse. If there
|
|
is any cash value, take the money before you split. Insurance companies
|
|
are great gatherers of personal information, so be sure not to tip
|
|
off agents regarding your plans. Give them believable excuses like
|
|
deciding to go with another carrier or your employer's group plan, etc.
|
|
|
|
When you change houses or apartments, be careful not to leave behind
|
|
items that might serve as indicators of your past, your interests,
|
|
hobbies, or lifestyle. Books and clothing items you no longer need
|
|
should be donated anonymously to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.
|
|
|
|
If you have grown children make it clear to them they will never
|
|
know where you really are. Correspond through mail drops and make
|
|
phone calls from pay booths if you must communicate. Cutting family ties
|
|
can be painful, but sometimes the alternatives hurt more. Ideally, parents
|
|
should train their children never to give personal information to third
|
|
parties. Agents and investigators should be told to "get a warrant".
|
|
|
|
Don't worry about being tracked down by your photo. Tracing by
|
|
photo isn't done unless you're a fairly notorious person, usually with
|
|
a reward on your head. You've got to be "worth" the great effort and
|
|
expense. It *is* possible to trace a person this way, but modern cops
|
|
and dicks don't do it unless there is no other way *and* the search is
|
|
justified. The FBI admits that at any one time there are at least
|
|
75,000 fugitives in the U.S., so the Post Office photos can't really be
|
|
working all that well, eh?
|
|
|
|
It can be super-cool to room in someone else's apartment or home.
|
|
Check the daily newspapers for ads under heading like "Rooms to share",
|
|
"Rentals to share", or "Apartments to share". This way all records
|
|
relating to occupancy will already be in someone else's name. You will
|
|
make arrangements with the current occupant only, not the landlord and
|
|
the various utilities. This arrangement is well suited to someone
|
|
wanting to put lots of "distance" between one identity and another, a
|
|
great way to "get lost", even if only a few blocks away. Once a new
|
|
identity has been set up--a process that can take several weeks or months
|
|
for someone wanting foolproof identity--he is much freer to appear,
|
|
fully reborn, wherever he pleases.
|
|
|
|
Avoid getting involved in lawsuits or failing to respond to citations.
|
|
If you have to split in a hurry, and can't make an appearance,
|
|
you've just bought yourself a possible bench warrant which will be
|
|
happily enforced the next time a traffic officer pulls you over for
|
|
a "broken tail light". It is a well-known fact that arrests of most cons
|
|
and fugitives are made in "circumstances unrelated to their crimes".
|
|
Stops for traffic violations are number-one such "circumstances"....
|
|
|
|
Pets can be a drag if you need to move in a hurry, so consider your
|
|
situation carefully if you simply must have one. Also, most urban areas
|
|
require registering of certain kinds of animals, especially dogs.
|
|
You can avoid registering them as long as possible, and give totally
|
|
false information when convassing inspector catches up to you.
|
|
|
|
If you own or are buying a home, but want to disappear, arrange
|
|
to have an attorney handle the sale and escrow. Attornies can generally
|
|
be counted on to follow their client's instructions, and are usually
|
|
quite careful about divulging information to third parties (snoops).
|
|
Short of a court order, data relating to their clients is considered
|
|
private or "privileged". You will want to instruct your attorney in
|
|
the manner of forwarding funds to you. He will have several ideas
|
|
along this line, such as a trust account, conversion to cash, or deposit
|
|
made out of state or the country.
|
|
|
|
There should be no problem in his handling the details of the sale
|
|
once you grant him the power of attorney for this purpose. Don't be
|
|
afraid to pay him well for his services, as he will remain a known "link"
|
|
between your old and new lives. Should other methods of tracing fail,
|
|
investigators will put pressure on him. Since most attorneys enjoy a
|
|
good battle of wits, protect yourself by keeping him on your side.
|
|
Wealthy people have always used smart attorneys to cover their moves,
|
|
and so can you.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if you have recently been the beneficiary of a will or
|
|
have an interest in an estate, notify your executor that further
|
|
transactions are to be directed through your attorney. Your address can
|
|
thus be kept from public records. Since may probate matters can drag
|
|
on for years, your present address will have to be known to executor.
|
|
It shouldn't bother him that you wish a little privacy. If the estate
|
|
in question is of great value to you, you would naturally want an
|
|
attorney to look out for your interests, so this is the perfect excuse.
|
|
Attorneys should be *used*.
|
|
|
|
If minor children are involved in your disappearing act, things can get
|
|
complicated if they can't or won't cooperate with you. You will probably
|
|
be changing identity, so you will have to get them to accept at least a
|
|
new surname. Be serious about it and they should get the message. They
|
|
will have to cut off contact with old neighborhood friends, and will have
|
|
to enroll in new schools under their new names. Since most schools
|
|
require records and transcripts to be sent from the last school of
|
|
attendance, and enrollment of kindergarteners and first graders to be
|
|
accompanied by birth certificates, a little ingenuity and cleverness is in
|
|
order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, birth certificates can easily be faked as there are many
|
|
sources of blank forms. Check the classified ads in any of the national
|
|
tabloids ("Midnight","The National Enquirer", etc.) under such headings
|
|
as "Certificates" and "Miscellaneous". The ID cards offered by these
|
|
mail order firms are often accompanied by free birth certificates, too.
|
|
For more information on birth certificates and alternate identities, order
|
|
a copy of "THE PAPER TRIP II", from Eden Press ($19.95).
|
|
|
|
In this latter book, you will also get ideas into how to create
|
|
"records" of past activities, methods wchich will work in helping you
|
|
cover your children's tracks as well. The basic technique is to
|
|
recreate the records you want, provide the address of a mail forwarding
|
|
service as that of the source of those records, and handle all
|
|
correspondence *yourself*. By using photo duplication of altered
|
|
documents, a little rubber-stamping, or even some "quick-print" offset
|
|
printing, you can easily and rather quickly come up with working solutions
|
|
to some of the most baffling problems in starting a new identity. You
|
|
can have a field day creating all kinds of "backgrounds". The only
|
|
limitation is your own imagination. These methods WORK, too!!
|
|
|
|
It would usually be a good idea not to give children an advance
|
|
warning they are about to split the neighborhood, as they will be
|
|
quick to tell their friends and schoolmates. Once on the move, keep
|
|
them from communicating until you arrange for them not to give
|
|
away your location. Mail forwarding services can help here, too. Have
|
|
them begin using their new last names right away.
|
|
|
|
If you belong to an Automobile Association, let your membership lapse.
|
|
If you decide to rejoin, do it several months later under a new name, or
|
|
join some other Auto Club under the new name.
|
|
|
|
If you use a particular barber or beauty shop, give no indication you
|
|
are about to move or make any kind of radical change in your life.
|
|
Talk about the weather, politics, or sports, but keep you private
|
|
thoughts from becoming popular knowledge. Gossip thrives in these
|
|
places. The same goes for bars, pool halls, liquor stores, and
|
|
restaurants which you have frequented in the past. Don't tip them off.
|
|
|
|
If you're planning to remain in the same general area, don't use your
|
|
old library card anymore. Chuck it and apply for another at another
|
|
branch, under another name, of course.
|
|
|
|
When dealing with any real estate people to set up you new location,
|
|
use only your *new* name. Many real estate firms also handle rentals,
|
|
and are thus good sources for tracers if they have a general idea where
|
|
you are, or are headed. This underlines the need to begin creating a
|
|
new identity *before* you decide to "move".
|
|
|
|
When you notify the utilities and telephone company to discontinue
|
|
service, tell them not to send any refunds (if they are due) or closing
|
|
bills until you notify them, as you are relocating and are not yet sure
|
|
of the address. This way you will not be leaving any leads in this
|
|
fertile field for investigators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you plan to remain in the general area serviced by the same utility
|
|
company or companies, it would be advisable to have service begun
|
|
either several weeks *before* you move (under the new name), or
|
|
several weeks *after* you move. Snoops would find "connect" requests
|
|
within five to ten days of your move worth investigating, dig?
|
|
|
|
If you ship personal property via UPS or common carrier, don't give them
|
|
the address where you intend to locate, not even the city. Simply
|
|
tell them to ship to one of their pick-up points reasonably nearby your
|
|
new location. Tell them you won't have definite address for several
|
|
weeks, and that you will pick the stuff up "Will Call". To put
|
|
a good kink in persuers' trail, collect your items at this latter
|
|
destination and ship again, via another carrier, to a location nearer your
|
|
actual destination. Do the "Will Call" number again, though. A cardinal
|
|
operating procedure is never to establish a link between the new and the
|
|
old. Use blind addresses, aliases and other covers to screen the actual
|
|
transactions. Time delays work in your favor also, the longer the better.
|
|
|
|
If you decide to hawk your possessions before disappearing, be extremely
|
|
careful not to give away your real reasons for doing so (you could be
|
|
going into missionary work in Uruguay), and definitely not the
|
|
destination you have in mind. You could even pretend you are an
|
|
employee of the person moving, and that the "boss" is moving his business
|
|
to another state.
|
|
|
|
A gambit used by many fly-by-night employers, such as carnival
|
|
operators, is to claim that they can never make decisions (write checks)
|
|
without their "brother's" approval and signature. Gee, they'd love to
|
|
pay you, but their "brother" is tied up out of town until a week from
|
|
next Tuesday.... Meanwhile, the operator splits.
|
|
|
|
If you decide to use a pawn shop for certain items, again, be discreet
|
|
and careful not to divulge any information regarding your move.
|
|
Pawnshops are natural haunts for snoops. Unless you're used to
|
|
dealing with them, it might be safest to sell your items openly.
|
|
Pawnshop operators are very astute observers of people, and you could
|
|
easily tip them off without intending to. They can sense desperation
|
|
before you even come throught the door.
|
|
|
|
Although procedures vary from state to state, it is generally possible
|
|
to trace a person through his vehicle registration. If you plan to
|
|
take your car with you, as a first measure simply don't notify the
|
|
Motor Vehicle people of your change of address. Sometime before you
|
|
must pay the registration fees again, either sell the car outright, or,
|
|
arrange a dummy sale to yourself under your new name--a transaction
|
|
that can often be done by mail.
|
|
|
|
There is a national clearinghouse for vehicle registrations, which
|
|
means a particular vehicle, if properly registered, can be traced
|
|
through its various sequential owners. It would be a shame that one's
|
|
love for his car were greater than for his personal freedom, but many
|
|
people will want to "take it with them". A two-stage dummy sale would be
|
|
much safer, especially if one of the transactions took place in another
|
|
state. Registering the car in the name of a business could be another
|
|
ploy to consider. The registration of other personal property, such
|
|
as boats, trailer, and airplanes should be considered in the same light
|
|
as that for automobiles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allusions to "going back East ", or "returning to college" can be
|
|
helpful smoke screens in evading inquisitive landlords. Never let them
|
|
know where you're really going.
|
|
|
|
J. Edgar Hoover stated many times that fully 90% of all arrests by the
|
|
FBI are due directly to the "helpful cooperation" of neighbors and
|
|
relatives. Need we say more?
|
|
|
|
Should you have school-age children and not want them to attend
|
|
public schools, you can:
|
|
|
|
a. Find a suitable private school,
|
|
b. Tell the neighbors the children are feeble-minded and that you are
|
|
tutoring them at home,
|
|
c. Tell the inquisitive you are a transient visitor from Mississippi,
|
|
Virginia, or South Carolina, states which have repealed compulsory
|
|
attendance laws,
|
|
d. Move every three months or so to prevent rumors from spreading
|
|
too far, and/or,
|
|
e. Keep the children under cover during school hours.
|
|
|
|
Don't take the bus cross-country. Terminals are notorious hangouts
|
|
for snoop informers who appraise bus travelers as "only niggers, spics,
|
|
college beatniks, and other commie types". (You'd never believe who
|
|
said this, but then again, you may very well know...)
|
|
|
|
Keep your home, job, personal activities, and hobbies well separated,
|
|
even self-contained. Don't let heat in one area endanger any of the
|
|
others. How? Read on...
|
|
|
|
Keep the address of where you actually live a well-guarded secret.
|
|
This is *VERY IMPORTANT*.
|
|
|
|
Never carry your actual address on you or in your car.
|
|
|
|
Let only those who are trustworthy and have a genuine need know your
|
|
actual address.
|
|
Set up a "legal" address somewhere else, such as a closet at a friend's
|
|
house, containing some misleading personal effects (books on subjects
|
|
you have no interest in, and clothes a few sizes away from your own).
|
|
He can thus point to something if ever questioned; but, of course,
|
|
he hasn't the slightest notion when you'll be returning from India...
|
|
|
|
Use this "legal" address for all your ID which you plan on using
|
|
regularly, such as drivers licence or state ID. Provide it also for
|
|
your employer's records, should it be required.
|
|
|
|
If you need a telephone, not only have it unlisted, but have the
|
|
records in a phoney name. Let only the address be correct among the
|
|
facts you are asked to provide. A small cash deposit is a small
|
|
price to pay for anonymity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rent your apartment, house, etc., under yet another phoney name,
|
|
if you wish. Always pay utility bills and rent with money orders or
|
|
cash. Cash doesn't have your name on it, and you never have to provide
|
|
your correct name on a money order. Keep a few receipts with your
|
|
current alias written on them in case you still haven't obtained a good ID.
|
|
Virtually any reconizable paper document "with your name on it" can be
|
|
good enough for you to "identify" yourself if stopped for questioning.
|
|
When you are between identities, this is the most convenient way of
|
|
proving you are at least more "substantial" than an escaped convict...
|
|
|
|
Receive all your mail at a 24-hour Post Office box. Use your
|
|
"legal" address to obtain the box, or any "friendly" address for that
|
|
matter. Once you have the box, and continue to pay the rent for it,
|
|
you can move every day of the week, and the Post Office won't care.
|
|
|
|
Instead of a P.O. box you can employ a mail forwarding service.

They will generally cooperate fully with you in your efforts to keep a
|
|
good distance between you and anyone else, whatever your reasons. Most
|
|
newspapers carry their ads in the classified section under "Personals".
|
|
With two or more services you can route your mail in and out of the
|
|
country, or from one coast to the other and back again, each mailing
|
|
under a different "code" name. Houdini never had it so easy.
|
|
|
|
For people (and bill collectors) you want to "lose", provide a
|
|
forwarding address out of the country. You can arrange to have letters
|
|
mailed from foreign countries stating that you have no intention of
|
|
ever returning. If they are to creditors, tell them to write you off
|
|
and save the collection expenses.
|
|
|
|
Another ruse for covering tracks is to write "deceased" on the face
|
|
of incoming mail. Drop unopened into public mail boxes. All but
|
|
professional snoops will get the hint.
|
|
|
|
By far the most useful method of learning about a person "cold" is
|
|
through his driver's licence, a copy of which any investigator has no
|
|
difficulty receiving. A postage stamp and the right request gets
|
|
him the information in a few days. The best way to make sure snoopers
|
|
draw a blank is to change your identity via one of the workable methods
|
|
detailed in "THE PAPER TRIP II", from Eden Press.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to computers and credit cards, virtually everyone has lost
|
|
his privacy, but the right maneuvers in the personal identity field can
|
|
liberate an individual rather quickly from such information tyranny.
|
|
Indeed, resorting to methods of "disappearing" are really the only
|
|
feasible ways of evading what amounts to electronic control of your life.
|
|
When you exercise the option of unplugging yourself from the computerized
|
|
data exchanges, you can in fact "start over", or at least regain and
|
|
maximize your personal privacy. We think it's well worth it.
|
|
|
|
It can be good discipline to do without a savings or checking account.
|
|
If you must have one, set it up under a good alias for which you
|
|
will need supportive ID. A driver's licence or state ID card under
|
|
a phoney name can be obtained using any of the methods shown in "THE PAPER
|
|
TRIP II", and the Social Security "number" you give can be totally fake,
|
|
even made up right on the spot. Just remember as you recite your "number"
|
|
that it has nine digits, however. For IRS purposes, the SS# used for your
|
|
checking account is of no value, and on your savings account serves
|
|
only as a cross check for the reporting of interest. This latter purpose,
|
|
it has been revealed, is of little consequence in that the IRS virtually
|
|
never bothers to verify interest reporting statements sent in by the
|
|
banks. They have relied on the "basic honesty" of taxpayers...
|
|
|
|
|
|
A solid set of ID in another name is what can truly be called "freedom
|
|
insurance". With the growing threat of arrest and prosecution for
|
|
leading a "free" life, it's plainly comforting to have the option to cut
|
|
and run, even if you choose not to.
|
|
|
|
Obtaining alternate ID should be done *before* you get into trouble.
|
|
Take the time to do it right. In an emergency many other matters will
|
|
compete for your time. In the future first-class ID may become more
|
|
difficult to obtain, too.
|
|
|
|
The best ID to obtain is obviously that which is issued directly
|
|
by government agencies themselves. Using forged, stolen, or counterfeited
|
|
ID is bust in itself. Privately-issued ID is more lightweight,
|
|
but in lieu of government-issued ID, can serve the same purpose, namely,
|
|
protection from harrassment. It won't get you a passport though.
|
|
|
|
With "legal" ID you will find no trouble in doing many tasks which
|
|
would otherwise prove impossible or extremely difficult at best. Also
|
|
with "legal" ID the risk of detection is reduced to a minimum. When
|
|
and if you choose to disappear, you can appear instantly "identifiable".
|
|
|
|
With government-issued ID you can effectively erase the curse of a
|
|
jail or prison record. Tens of thousands of "free" Americans carry with
|
|
them the permanent label of "felon" or "ex-con". The real crime begins
|
|
only after a person leaves the joint; legal and social ostracism continue
|
|
all their lives. What better reason to disappear?
|
|
|
|
If you had the misfortune to receive a less-than-honorable discharge
|
|
from the armed forces (thousands do so anually), the acquisition and use
|
|
of an alternate identity will be your first step in beginning to live free.
|
|
Even though you may have lost all or most of your G.I. "benefits", you'll
|
|
at least be able to get a decent job--now. Watch out for fingerprinting,
|
|
however. Big Brother has your prints, and will be only too happy to
|
|
prove you're one of those "Dirty, rotten, rat-fink, Commie deserters".
|
|
And you thought honest criminals had it bad...?
|
|
|
|
Using an alternate identity is another way of covering up bad employment,
|
|
too, particularly if the law was involved in some adverse way,
|
|
such as in cases of theft, embezzelment, etc. In some occupational
|
|
circles the word gets around efficiently--and fast.
|
|
|
|
Many young men of draft age split to Canada during the Vietnam fiasco
|
|
to escape what they considered the illegal obligation of fighting
|
|
an immoral war. Their return was often facilitated by the acquisition
|
|
of alternate identity. And who knows when the next immoral war will
|
|
be foisted on us? It can't hurt to be prepared.
|
|
|
|
By obtaining the right documents individuals can rather easily take on
|
|
foreign citizenships, too. Most countries have much more lax "safeguards"
|
|
against paper penetration of their document systems than the U.S.
|
|
Although superficially the more centralized countries appear to
|
|
have better control of their subjects, it is precisely this
|
|
bureaucratic patina of confidence and superiority that makes their record
|
|
systems more vulnerable to subversion. If bribes and theft don't work
|
|
(they usually do), then the documents themselves are very susceptible to
|
|
forgery and counterfeiting. By approaching the right "trade ministers",
|
|
many international businessmen have obtained numerous "legitimate"
|
|
foreign citizenships, passports included. IT CAN BE DONE, U.S. "law"
|
|
nonwithstanding.
|
|
|
|
Many people have made a regular practice of beating creditors and
|
|
collection agencies through the adroit use of aliases and alternate
|
|
identities. They are living proof that debts belong to yesterday.
|
|
Financially they live quite free--today.
|
|
|
|
A quick way up the occupational ladder is to combine mail order
|
|
school diplomas, certificates, and degrees with expert ID. Not only
|
|
can a clean break with the past be achieved, but a sharp increase in
|
|
income as well. The only limit here is your imagination and desire.
|
|
|
|
Some of the sharpest operators create ID as a physician or clergyman and
|
|
rake in commercial discounts as well as hundreds of free offers and
|
|
special deals once their names get on "preferred" mailing lists.
|
|
Such ID can be of great benefit socially, too.
|
|
|
|
Alternate ID is the quickest way to starting all over in the credit world.
|
|
The most atrocious credit record is gone forever when your old name
|
|
disappears. This is an oversimplification, of course, but what else can
|
|
be said when your aren't "you" anymore?
|
|
|
|
Once some form of commercial or consumer credit is established, it becomes
|
|
very easy to obtain all the various forms of credit cards, from bank cards
|
|
to the Travel and Entertainment cards. Complete plans for starting all
|
|
over in the credit game are outlined and detailed in "CREDIT", from
|
|
Eden Press.
