The Grey Internet.

 Readers of this blog will know that I am one of many millions around the world trying to evade the monitoring by The NSA and GCHQ of our confidential information. I continue to guarantee that the techniques described in this earlier post remain the only 100% method of ensuring your security but two other areas to communicate securely and transfer funds continue to develop and improve. The TOR project provides  many tools including a browser and a secure operating system that you can run from a USB stick to provide anonymity from spooks but you must adhere to their not too difficult suggestions to maintain your cover.
 The other one bypasses the usual banking, Visa and Paypal operations and can be used for instance to purchase from or sell to Iran or donate to Wikileaks which the capitalist banking system is preventing at the moment. I certainly intend to use it to provide a financial contribution to Wikileaks and it is called
bitcoin. I suggest that you read up on the expert information provided by both sites but they provide an exiting possibility for the many of us that want to use a third way to conduct our internet and financial operations. They are both perfectly legal and you can bet your bottom dollar that, if they are allowed, trading organisations like eBay and Amazon will not miss out on the opportunity of collecting cash this way.
