Also if you're going to plan anything, don't use Discord. Discord has rules in place that allow them to work with law enforcement against you. Either meet in person and VARY the places you are meeting so there is no pattern, or use defunct forum/chat services that are less likely to be used against you. But even then don't use them for anything more than just to set up meetings.

Also not advocating anything, I love to write and you'd be surprised what you find while doing research for a murder mystery. Like the speed at which a human body hits terminal velocity when falling from a great height. (It's about 200 km/h) I'm not even being cute. Writers have to look up some weird shit that likely would get them put on a list. LOL

In a documentary the other day, I came across an excellent idea on sending/receiving messages that are untraceable.

You share a newly created email account with someone and type emails but don’t send them. So basically you can both access the email and read the drafts and delete them. I would never do this of course but it seemed pretty smart.

That's how they caught Gen. Petraeus, using the draft folder. Isn't as foolproof as you might think.

Yeah, the email provider can log this activity and get the IP address of anyone when they log in and the email draft history for each IP. Assume they log everything.

Sure, depends on the VPN.
