If you wanted to "disappear" how would you do it?

Incase you have not noticed, you are a tenant on planet earth. You cant move anywhere, or even do "anything" it seems, without leaving a trace. In todays world there are so many ways to keep track of a person, or to find a person with very little personal information. So i ask the question "if you wanted to disappear from society forever" how would you do it? Of course there are slow but sure ways to build a new identity, this may have worked 30 years ago but today you just cant make up an identity, its a wonder identity theft is so big! Because of computers and internet you identity can be confirmed from anywhere in the world. So how would you do it? Would you go to another country, you would have to sneak in, its the only way too move across a border without leaving a trace of where you are!

First and foremost, I wouldn't divulge to anyone how I planned to do it. Could be your first and last mistake.

You would have to leave everything behind and go bush, totally live natural, off the land. Depending on if you wanted to fake your death or just dissappear, you couldnt use your bank acc if faking death, if dissappearing you could drain it first, then go bush, once money ran out, you would have to travel and work for cash if you needed money.It could be done but no luxuries. and make sure its a warm climate!

Boy I would love to be a phantom. You tell us your ideas on how to do this. I am not saying steal an identity, but rather, create one as an alias with a clean record of crime, credit and whatnot. IF you could do this all the time, and not leave a trace, you could do a lot of things you don't think you could ordinarily do.

Go to an alternate Earthy where you were never born, In todays world, um become a member of a super secret gov. organisation that no one knows about that requires you to not have friends or family.

Become a hemit, and simply dont leave any trails, such as fowarding address,phone number etc....
Lose contact with all whom u know.
Don't get any attention,stay out of trouble, no D.U.I's please....


But the main is just stay away from socialism...

if u wanted to disappear why would u tell people .and why would u tell them how u were going to to it. isnt that purpose of u disappearing?

No one is telling anyone they would dissappear. People just want to know how to do it.

I would go underground and live on the streets in a big city and give poetry readings and panhandle and be nameless

If you want to disappear buy this book Paper Trip

www.paladin-press.com...


It will tell you every thing you need to know. You can still make up a new identity in this day and age trust me.

but why do people want to know or need this? If u want to be gone and u dont want anyone to know then why would anyone in their right mind tell how they would do it?

If you really want to dissappear, become homeless and sleep on park benches. As a bonus you also become invisable!

People want this for many reasons; some good some bad. I won't get into why people want to become anonymous. The reason to talk about it is to convey information. It does not suggest that the person telling you how to become a phantom is in hiding.

It is similar to me telling you how to make a pipe bomb - just because I know how doesnt mean I am making them and going to use them.

Your identity is all practically electronic these days.
First and foremost, dont let your dna or fingerprints get recorded.
Then become a L337 haxor and change or delete all your records.
Burn off your finger prints and permanently stop all hair growth on your body. wala :>

ok if i wanted to go into hiding and didnt want ANYONE to know.LOL i sure wouldnt type on a message board.but i guess that's just me.

It is vary simple, really. Just:

Get ten or more fake IDs.

Make your own fake firm, hire all your aliases and file for UI with each. Months after unemploy all of your aliases, claim UI.

Send your money from UI to your friends account (or a fake one) via the internet.

Buy goods online, buy a mobile home, purchase those new devices that collect moisture from the air for water, purchase meal replacements, there cheap, and can be ordered in bulk online.

Have various drop off points to pick up different goods, places that hold mail orders or store hardware for a fee are nice, but abandoned homes are best.

Stay on the move if you can


I guess you wouldn't be disappearing, but life would be easy if you did this. How do you define disappearing?

What if you have your prints already in the database? How do we achive becoming unidentifiable?

You know it is interesting that if you cant be identified, then the gov has no control or influence over you.

You can hack into the database, have melted plastic spread over your fingures, get plastic surgery for your fingers, or burn the tips of your finguers untell the skin is slightly melted and remoldable, lol, it doesn't hurt, much.
