Dissidents Seeking Anonymous Web Solutions?

DocMurphy asks: "I'm working with some dissidents who are looking for ways to use the Internet from within repressive regimes. Many have in-home Internet access, but think it too risky to participate in pro-freedom activities on home PCs. Internet cafés are also available, but although fairly anonymous, every machine may be infected with keystroke loggers that give governments access to and knowledge of 'banned' sites. Dissidents not only want to remain anonymous themselves, but also wish to not compromise the sites they access. Any suggestions for products/procedures/systems out there making anonymous access & publishing a reality under repressive regime run Internet access?"

But if you aren't willing to stand behind your words, what do they mean? You're just some kook on the internet, and you obviously don't care enough about what you're saying to risk prison, death, torture, disappeance, or *ahem* anything at all.

If everyone is already dead, dissent isn't going to do you any good anyway.

Name one example where "just hearing the words" was important. I'll give you some: Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Far left and right wing kooks in the US. But you know what? All that anonymous preaching didn't do a lick of good.

Sure, more kooks decided the Jews were subhuman, kulaks were out to get them, the black helicopters of the UN were spying on them, and the WTO was the source of all evil, but compare all that whispering innuendo to Thoreau, Gandhi, or Rambo (First Blood part 2.)

Oscar Schindler didn't save a single Jew. That's right. They were saved by Allied soldiers. While he might have delayed the extermination of a few to the point when Americans and Russians saved them, those were his actions, he did nothing to stop it. When one of his friends or workers' number was up, he said goodbye and kept his mouth shut. Maybe what he did was of better use than going to the gas chamber in their stead, but it wasn't dissidence.

No anonymous coward ever changed things for the good by not standing by his words.
