(And, bear in mind that, if the powers-that-be consider you to be a person
worthy of such, even if you use secure communications, the images displayed
on your computer screen can still be reproduced from afar:

(Let's hope that that changes, one day, but...) People who actually pose a
danger to the establishment are usually a minority... And, I don't know which
country you're writing from, but, at least in mine, (since, most people who
are politically active just follow orders from their leaders, who do all the
thinking) there are more people who surveill those who are actually a problem
than the people who constitute the problem itself.
I don't think using false names on Google accounts helps in anything...
Since, I'm sure that Google/NSA/CIA
(http://www.infowars.com/group-calls-for-hearings-into-googles-ties-to-cia-and-nsa/)
keeps track of which IP addresses access which mailboxes.
Unplugging from the whole Internet doesn't seem, to me, to be a good idea,
for now. Since, it's still an excellent source of information (if you know
the best places to go to) and also an excellent source of software (like this
distro).
(Although, nonetheless - and exactly because it's still an excellent source
of information - the one as we know it will soon come to an end... -

What I recommend for everyone who doesn't use secure electronic
communications to do is to refrain oneself from talking about (/revealing)
personal, and important, stuff online and keep that for real conversations.
