The wise man changes his views when he sees the truth.
Rest in peace, Bill.

Remembering Malcolm X
Posted in civil liberties, history, requiem on February 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
A day late (due to Internet troubles), I present a speech and the ending of Spike Lee’s Malcolm X, in remembrance of the life of the profound man who was assassinated 43 years ago yesterday.
Will Chip-Enhanced Athletes Be Touted as the Solution to Performance-Enhanced Ones?

Perhaps the whole distraction-story about steroid use in professional sports is even less about the drugs than I supposed. Perhaps, it’s all about surveillance–of the doped athletes and the duped fans alike.
Microchips anyone?
The entire spectacle surrounding Barry Bonds and, more recently, Roger Clemens in particular and steroid/human-growth hormone use in general among professional athletes [...]

Go here for part 1 and here for part 2 for the background.
FYI–S 1959 has been quietly making its way through Congress with little mass-stream coverage for awhile now, so this is the time when it’s important to contact the folks that ostensibly represent us to express your discontent about this bill. That is, [...]

Alright, let’s get right into it. If you missed part 1, allow me to summarize.
S 1959 is a bill that proposes to set up a “National Commission” on “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism,” whatever that means, plus “other purposes”–which are not defined.
Let’s look at the the first few pages of this bill (my [...]

So, some folks are saying that Willy Loman, who made the original posting about the proposed legislation, S 1959, is crying wolf. They say that all S 1959 does is set up a commission to study the issue of “homegrown radicalization,” which the document seems to straight away conflate with “homegrown terrorism” and “homegrown [...]
Wake Up For This

Make sure the “representatives” don’t slip this by us. It’s called S 1959 and it’s a spooky bit of proposed legislation which could deem you, me or anyone with an alternate reality map as a terrorist simply for their opinions. Included in the bill is a specific mention of “anti-globalists”…

The Hushmail Honeypot and the Facebook “Scandal”

Well, I’m about a month late in catching this news, but better late than never?
From Wired:
Hushmail, a longtime provider of encrypted web-based email, markets itself by saying that “not even a Hushmail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted e-mail, since each message is uniquely encoded before it leaves your computer.”
But it [...]

We have been living in a 1984-Brave New world for quite some time already. The Deputy Director of National (that is, corporate power) Security, Donald Kerr simply confirmed this all the more baldly recently with his little hypnotic suggestion about changing the definition of “privacy:“

Standing on the subway at two a.m., I see two movie posters side by side and I begin to sense the unsettling nature of the current zeitgeist. Call them Signs and Signifiers of the Spectacular Times.
I first saw the poster for this movie:
And to it’s right, I saw the poster for this one:
