Tor and all electronic privacy tool warning

 to_project_main

One of the reasons I started the Charles Carroll Society was to get the word out as I see it.  I have submitted this information to various websites but again the warning was not published.  Recently some additional information has come to my attention and I wanted to share it and warn you about trusting any online privacy products and especially Tor. Many liberty websites suggest using Tor. 

“Tor, in case you don’t keep up with internet security and obscurity, is a network of nodes that randomize your path through the internet, making it harder to track what sites and services you use. ” Tor is a method of hiding your IP address while browsing the Internet.  It is supposedly design to give you some privacy while communicating and reading on the Internet.

 I have some information for people who use the Tor Over-net system.  Tor was a DAPRA project.  DAPRA is one of the Department of Defense (DOD) research arms.  It is where they come up with great ideas to … make the DOD and intelligence communities better.  One of the primary agencies who worked with DAPRA to create Tor was the Office of Naval Research (ONR).  There is some suggestions that the entire Tor system is an  Intel honey-trap, even if it is not, it might be less secure than just browsing and here is why.

One of the most difficult things to do for the people who feel they have the right to listen to every conversation, is to figure out which conversation (on the Internet) to listen too.  There is so much traffic they don’t know which blogs to follow, and which information is “important.”  The large blogs, like Survivalblog.com are of course tracked, but the Charles Carroll Society?  Maybe not, why not?  Because they may not know about it (yet).  How can the Shadow community easily find the information they should focus on?  Well, let’s get users to self-identify information we want to track.
