[tor-relays] I'm Running A Tor Exit Node And NEVER Initiated It

Sun May 29 16:27:51 UTC 2016

Whomever is and has been behind this is selective with what I can and can't
see.  I KNOW our electronics are and have been controlled since we moved
here January 2014.  I know this because at one time "they" were interacting
with me on via my desktop.  I was asked if "they" could run a d-bus session
on another computer I have connected.  Not knowing what a d-bus session was
"they" gave me a step by step run down on how to do it.  I did what "they"
asked because it was kind of exciting.  Now in retrospect it's more scary
than anything else.  There are files on my Linux computers that show me
what to display if I run a netstat command or nstat command so even when I
try to figure things out I'll continue to get the same results every time.
Terminal fortune cookies were installed without me installing them.  One
time upon opening up my terminal the little penguin's thought cloud said
this: "I am number 2.  You are number 6."  Though I know a terminal only
takes commands I impulsively typed back within it, "I am not a number.  I'm
a free man!"  Immediately after I typed that in this popped up after my
sentence, "I am not a number.  I'm a free man-tor!"  And it was then that I
started going through my folders and files and found everything Tor
related.  Even some link that told me I was running through a Tor router.
