In Joe's defense, some of his information is accurate. Encryption algorithms are in fact considered munitions by the federal government. There is in fact currently a bill working its way quietly through congress that, among other things, would require IT personnel to be registered and licensed (S.3480, Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act) - this one actually makes me nervous.
Joe's problem is that he casts a wide net, but has trouble separating the wheat from the chaff in his results. If any of us had experienced half the things he has in the past few years, we might behave in a similar fashion. Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get him.
Joe, if I were in your shoes, I would really think about who your audience is when wording your correspondence. Not everybody has the same worldview that you do.

My dear friends,
It has come to my realization that among the many reasons for the
persecution of me by the governments is that I am skilled at encryption
and building secured computer systems that are extremely difficult to
hack into using the normal tools available them.
Well, I just wanted to say to those of you who are known to have
encryption skills, start thinking about how you can get underground so
you cannot be easily found to be terminated. Encryption tools are akin
to the power of nuclear weapons as far as the government is concerned.
We each have the power to topple corruption by exposing truth like
WikiLeaks has shown.
So encryption-istas, be on your guard. Try to stay away from the
Wal-Marts where mass surveilance and cooperation with FEMA has been
documented in the gun sales arena.
A friend mentioned to me that a huge number of microbiologists had
turned up dead some time ago and that it was because they understood the
genetic codes to the engineered plagues and viruses that were going around.
I've read that there are moves afoot to license systems administrators
for businesses. Don't do it! Don't get your name on another list where
they can identify who and where you are.... you are important to the
survival of the free flow of information.... you have the only truly
authenticate-able way to send such information to the masses.
So my friends, watch your back and sharpen your skills, your fellow men
and women need your skills like never before. If you're into software
development, I encourage you to find ways to secretly aid encryption
software development. If you can find a way to house such developers --
an underground railroad of sorts needs to be developed to keep such
developers safe secure yet connected.
