[kitchencabinetforum] EVADE JAIL BY USING FREE ONION ROUTING

The Nobel Committee has confirmed that nineteen countries have declined invitations to attend the Peace Price ceremony in Norway on 10 December, a rise on the usual number of declines. This year, the Nobel Peace Prize is being awarded to Chinese prisoner of conscience Liu Xiaobo, a dissident blogger.

The 19 countries that have declined to attend according to the Committee are Afghanistan, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Sudan, Tunisia, Ukraine, Venezuela and Vietnam.

Sam Zarifi of Amnesty International points out China has been arm-twisting behind the scenes to stop governments from attending the Nobel Prize ceremony, using a combination of political pressure and economic blackmail. The fact that, despite the pressure and threats, the Chinese could only cajole a small minority of countries, reflects the unacceptable nature of their demands. Governments and international institutions must continue to resist this type of bullying. The Chinese people want to be part of the global discussion on human rights and we should do everything possible to include them fully.

Freakish Graecokleptocrats accuse dissident bloggers of treason, confiscate their computers, and lock them is jail! These prisoners of conscience follow the long tradition of Socrates, who was killed by the Athenian democracy.

Greek dissident bloggers are arrested for exercising the right to free expression and are jailed on grotesque charges, such as treason, after sham trials. Graecokleptocrats are trying to take away Greeks' right to read what they want, and to say what they want. The Internet is making it possible for new voices to be heard, the voices of Greeks who simply could not afford to publish their ideas to a wide audience using the mainstream media. Graecokleptocrats fear new voices, and are trying to control what appears on the Greek blogosphere through new stupid laws and freakish regulations. Greek cybercops must be abolished now.

Graecokleptocrats persecute dissident bloggers using brutal cybercops, who are willing to do anything, including perjury against these prisoners of conscience. The stupidity and vindictiveness of certain Greek ministers is out of this world. Graecokleptocrats and Graecomedia are in cahoots to preserve the corrupt status quo, mudslinging dissident bloggers.

The Ministry of Truth or Minitrue in Newspeak was how George Orwell described the mechanism used by the government of Dystopia to control information in his seminal novel of 1984. Now, governments have been rocked by the power of the internet and are seeking to gain control of it so that they will have a virtual monopoly on information that the public is able to access. But there is no way Minitrue can gag the internet. Greek cybercops must be abolished now.

Bloggers have to put up with the Greek government, the bully of blogosphere. Starting with no money, no backers, and no affiliation with elite institutions, the internet made it possible for many Greeks to succeed by making knowledge accessible and searchable on a scale never previously available in Greece. The intellectual playing field has been leveled and the internet changed the way we think about the very real possibility of fairness and opportunity in corrupt Greece that has for too long been rigged to favor Graecokleptocrats.

Graecokleptocrats, the most corrupt politicians on Earth, are trying to gag dissident bloggers, manipulating an infamous gang of cybercops. Graecokleptocrats have discovered this freakish gang is the best political tool, able and willing to destroy their opponents. That's why an influential dissident blogger would normally wait for brutal cybercops to eventually confiscate his computer before he buys a new model!

Greek bloggers cause anxiety to Graecokleptocrats. The Greek government is wary of Greeks posting news without being controlled journalists. Worse, bloggers sometimes raise sensitive issues which the traditional Greek media do not dare cover. Blogs have in Greece become the only reliable source of news. Greek cybercops must be abolished now.

Greek blogs are a fantastic tool for freedom of expression in Greece, the most corrupt country on Earth. They have unloosed the tongues of ordinary Greeks. Greeks who were until now only consumers of stupid news have become players in a new form of journalism, a grassroots journalism by the Greeks for the Greeks, united against Graecokleptocrats. Greek cybercops must be abolished now.

You can bypass internet censorship and cybercops using onion routing, a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network. Messages are repeatedly encrypted and then sent through several network nodes called onion routers. Each onion router removes a layer of encryption to uncover routing instructions, and sends the message to the next router where this is repeated. This prevents these intermediary nodes from knowing the origin, destination, and contents of the message.

Tor, The Onion Routing, is a system intended to enable online anonymity, composed of client software and a network of servers which can hide information about users' locations and other factors which might identify them. Use of this system makes it more difficult to trace internet traffic to the user, including visits to websites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms. It is intended to protect users' personal freedom, privacy, and ability to conduct confidential business, by keeping their internet activities from being monitored. The software is open-source and the network is free of charge to use.

Tor works by relaying communications through a network of systems run by volunteers in various locations. Because the internet address of the sender and the recipient are not both readable at any step along the way, someone engaging in network traffic analysis and surveillance at any point along the line cannot directly identify which end system is communicating with which other. Furthermore, the recipient knows only the address of the last intermediate machine, not the sender. By keeping the network entry points hidden, Tor is also able to evade internet censorship systems.
