... Dissenter's Alphabet !!!        Home      Feedback / Comments     

ABCDEFG ... HIJKLMNOP ... QRSTUV ... WXY and Z,
Now you know your ABCs ... Tell me what you think of ... Democracy?!?

In these times, if you are a Dissenter and disagree with what is going on in Washington, DC, the American Economy, Corporate Corruption, American Foreign Policy, etc... you many wish to communicate your thoughts and feelings with other like-minded individuals.  At the same time, you may be aware that there are some people, for example Radio Opinion Jockeys, who would dare to call you "Un-Patriotic" or "Un-American" for expressing "your" opinions, which differ from "their" opinions.  Likewise, you may be aware that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (& Surveillance) may be looking out for "Un-Americans" by monitoring "chatter" within email or text messaging traffic.  Prior to 9/11, the FBI began using a program called "Carnivore" to monitor "chatter", but times have changed and technology has also gotten more sophisticated.  While terrorists, criminals and other bad actors use encryption software to hide or disguise their "chatter", you might feel you have nothing to hide, since you are merely expressing your right of "Free Speech" afforded by the U.S. Constitution.  But you might want to consider the Dissenter's Alphabet or ABC (Alphabet Butchered 'Cryption) rather than bothering yourself (and your recipients) with other typical forms of encryption.  The Dissenter's Alphabet and ABC technique is obviously not foolproof, but it's PGD (Pretty Good Dissention); sort of like PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a form of encryption.  Study the chart below, and you can start using ABC/PGD today.  More details ...

More Details ... Obviously, you don't want to always substitute these characters for all alphabet letters, and also not for every word (too time consuming, you just want to type an email).  Just be selective of when you want to use ABC/PGD.  The idea is to allow your writing to still be human readable, but since your words are not "encryp+ed" in a standard fashion, the DHSS computers "might" not have your creatively spelled words in their dictionary databank (but who knows, maybe someday they might). This allows you to have fun butchering a few words here and there, and maybe avoiding detection of the DHSS Police.  Your words and sentences for the most part will be readable and understandable to the human eye (with some practice required initially to get used to it).  Also, if you spell the same word in creatively different ways, you could "maybe" outsmart the Carnivore-like Chatter Chasers that prowl the Internet looking for Dissenting Prey.  The recipient's of your emails or text messages might at first think 1) your keyboard is now broke, 2) you have suddenly become a very fast but inaccurate typist, 3) your Spell Checker is turned off, or 4) you are just getting lazy in your old age or you just don't care anymore.  But assure them that you do care, about yourself and about them as friends, familiy and colleagues.  You are merely looking out for their best interests, in terms of preventing them from becoming hunted down by the Carnivorous DHSS Police.
