about how governments and corporations spying everything what we are doing and this incredible war which is going on, I was worried and I was immediately inspired to take some concrete action.

1) I installed the Tor-Browser-Bundle https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en which enables you to surf anonymously in the internet . It is based on Vidalia, Mozilla and Tor-Button.

“The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.”

2) I also installed the Tor-Mail, same idea, anonymous mailing

3) I changed my searching machine to DuckDuck Go, same idea, anonymous searching

I was frightened by the words of Michael Chertoff, 4 years of Bush Administration in Homeland Security and now in charge of Cyber-Security with Obama, when he said in an Al Jazeera documentary called “Cyberwar”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ciAqopNRL0U

“… clearly for certain kinds of interaction you need to know who you are dealing with, and people who are not willing to verify their identity, will simply be refused in minutes.”

“Historically the internet was anonymous – this will have to change.”

“It is dangerous out there… new weapons must be invented”.

It is a frightening scenario. It all looks to me like the US are targeting their next war/fear/economy- syndrome to prepare the ground for their new “war”. They want to control this war and get prepared for this new market. 40-50 Billions are ready to be invested in this area of “cyber-security” – a huge privat sector is waiting to make a lot of money.

I would like to share my concerns, I think it is a very worrying and urgent matter.

And also, is it any useful to install all these Tor applications?
