	lol - so you think you are 'feeding the pidgeons'? And what
	kind of animal are *you*? Maybe a slug?

	"Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network
surveillance and traffic analysis." 

	Using tor? LOL. What's the latest feature? "don't maximize the
	browser window if you don't want to be tracked". 


	"Tor prevents people from learning your location or browsing
	habits." <---- another lie.

	Of course, since tor is promoted by scammers, they use scamming
	language. Prevent 'people' from learning your location? What
	people, exactly? Your retarded aunt? Somebody selling hotdogs
	on the corner? Or the totalitarian government that FUNDS
	tor? 

	So here's the meat : 

	tor is a project funded by the US military. And of course, it
	doesn't protect joe sixpack from the US military and
	government. 

	tor works to advance  the interests of the US military by
	allowing THEM to 'browse the web' anonymously using tor users
	as cover. Tor would be useless for the pentangon nazis if they
	were the only people using the network. So they need human
	cattle to use as cover.

	tor works because the US military can monitor a substantial
	part of the internet and so 'deanonymize' tor users, whereas the
	'enemies' of the US government can't do that. Not to mention
	the amount of 'fast' tor nodes isnt' exactly big. 


	the US military has no problem with providing the 'masses' with
	a fake anonimity network that only works against modest
	'adversaries'. Rather, there are good reasons for the US
	military to provide such a fake 'service' including propaganda
	(US cunts pretending to defend 'humand rights'), the
	ability to gather 'interesting' people in one place, etc.

	'donate' their time in exchange from millions of
	stolen dollars from the pentagon.


	Anyway, if you want to know what tor really is, do your own
	homework. I've been kind enough to point you in the right
	direction. Assuming you are not yet another tor-bot, which more
	than likely you are.
