Recommended: "How One Man Tracked Down Anonymous—And Paid a Heavy Price," on Ars Technica. "A Disturbing Threat Against One of Our Own," on Salon. The latter story links to a document purporting to show that a government contractor called Palantir Technologies suggested unnamed ways that Glenn Greenwald (author of this excellent Cato study) might be made to choose "professional preservation" over his sympathetic reporting about Wikileaks. A later page talks of "proactive strategies" including: "Use social media to profile and identify risky behavior of employees." Wikileaks has no employees. I take this to mean that ...

When asked somewhat accusingly 'So you want to change the world?', Assange replied, without any hes...

As Julian Assange - heaven thanks- was released from prison last week, he spoke about his nine day stay in solitary confinement. People with autism can be seen as potential prisoners in their own lifelong solitary confinement I think. We have freedom of speech, freedom to walk around, no bail needed to explore the outdoor world. But somehow autistic people are locked up in their own mind, not to be able to share things, express their deepest inner feelings and many more. Just a thought. Soon one of the world's most famous cities will be visited again! My ex-bf is coming with me! Happy with this! Happy X-mas e...

He used the phrase in a dual sense: It was repression carried out by economic means, as papers that strayed too far from the PRI line would suddenly find their lucrative government advertising revenue drying up, state-controlled suppliers jacking up prices, and PRI-linked union workers threatening strike. But it was also an economical (that is, a parsimonious)means of repression, operating indirectly and relatively invisibly, and allowing more heavy-handed mechanisms—the censor’s pen and the truncheonâ...

Two such, seemingly unconnected and even at odds, are national security and privacy. Yet they are intimately connected. Set aside issues I discussed here briefly last week – the overclassification problem, the complex prosecutorial issues concerning Julian Assange, and the government’s abysmal failure to better protect classified material – the national security issues were brought out nicely this morning by Gordon Crovitz in his Wall Street Journal column. Take it as given that the main function of government is to secure our rights: In a dangerous world, after all, we abandoned the Articles of Confederation for the Constitution precisely to better protect ourselves. To do that effectively, however, intelligen...

If anything, the company is exercising its right to free speech and association by choosing not to work with another independent organization. That’s correct, though I would add that it was Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, who bullied Amazon into cutting Wikileaks from its server. Thus, it was partially government coercion, not private consent, that severed a business relationship. As an aside, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said in a ...

Feels like minus 17 degrees Celcius. It's sunny and the small amount of snow fallen has already disappeared. December 2010. Time to analyse this year. I have been very lucky with the love of my former boyfriend. We have regular contact now. As often, when things have finished one knows what is left behind. The cold not only hits me from outside, a break up means pain too. I try to find new things to keep myself occupied with. Distract me from too many thoughts. Just started the first part of the wellknown Stieg Larsson Trilogy. So far, I like the character of Lisbeth Salander. She reminds me of myself. How I wished to be a more tough woman like her!

WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Speaks ‘Treason’ — Fluently. Some 70 years ago, actor Errol Flynn as Robin Hood responded to the accusation “You speak treaons!” with the now-classic retort “Fluently.” We all loved that kind of treason, and maybe you’ll learn to love this kind too. You gotta admit Mr. Assange is hot. (Yes, I’m shallow. All you deep people out there, move along.) Julian Assange, whose website WikiLeaks just released 92,000 classified documents on the war in Afghanistan, hails from Errol Flynn’s country of Australia. As does the charismatic Hugh Jackman. Jackman alone makes up for Australia giving us pop crooner Peter Allen (whom Jackman portrayed in the musical theater mess &#8...

FriedmanIn publishing a massive trove of government documents on the war in Afghanistan, WikiLeaks has done a useful thing. And because it often publishes information that is embarrassing to government, rather than dangerous to it, WikiLeaks is a good thing for democracy. I say that to prevent the criticism below from getting me labeled as part of an effort to silence WikiLeaks or distract from the news it generates. For starters — and this is more about the media than WikiLeaks — there’s the fact that thus far there is little new here. As we saw last week with the Washington Post’s Top Secret America blockbuster, the media fetishizes secret information, even when it merely elaborates on stories we’ve already heard. My problem with WikiLeaks is ... Cato-at-liberty blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3790685 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:54:06 +0100 3790685
