anonymous go to jail

anonymous go to jail
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/8286809/WikiLeaks-cyber-attacks-prompt-five-arrests.html

but the morons for the war and censorship are tarred and feathered here on our internet.   we think they are idiots.

they are in our virtual jail, our dock. we know what they stand for greed, racism, brutality, torture, a closed internet.

an older economist friend today met me to discuss internet.  he said that what is going on reminds him of life in paris in 1968.

i showed him the rasmus fleischer footage, the ivory coast demonstration footage.

he said, you know what is happening in tunisia, in egypt?
yes.

i told him i could not have the kind of intellectual life i experience here in stockholm, in america.
fox news brainwash is so thick, everything gets stupid, way too fast.
and the men always have to say something barbarically sexist.
so, how weird is it to be respected here . . . .??????? i am floored . . .
i love to be treated like a human!!!!
what a novel idea.

i told gustave ejstes, when he asked, kind of startled like, how why varfor, i said "skit i allt,"  which i don't like to curse. like really, i should be in school.  i told him, i have a limited amount of money, and after its gone maybe i'll speak swedish.
i really meant that i was so inspired by something i read in an american interview.
reine fiske said "skit i allt" really means f--- everything that is bad for you.
and really, life in america was depressing me so badly, for years, for my life.
i wish my dad had gotten out.  he was stuck.
he was too smart for  a lot of it.
my other friend's dad was a refugee from the vietnam draft.
i really admire that.

i feel like getting to the west coast was only half the battle.

the portland police are executing black men on the streets.  its so foolish.  i get los angeles lawyers guild updates and feel sorry for them.  the best, smartest people in los angeles are fighting racist cops in a big cloud of smog and SUV's.  they are still talking about the constitution.  i want to talk about the future, the internet.

i love johnathan zittrain, crunchbase, and nick maybury.
that's what i love about america right now.
but the petrol infrastructure is so thick, the fast food and the barbaric government, the lack of healthcare and equality for women.
well i'll tell you more later.

there is something particular to the swedish communitarian and freedom of information and equality that lends itself to intelligence.
that plus tech, plus youth.
and propaganda seems not as trusted.
every major paper here is a rag and all the young people know it.

the tech atmosphere.
a man i met at gyllene cykeln last night told me he was in class with anakata in the day.
he said he was a genius, that computers spoke to him.
and they could lock him up, but he's a genius.

i told my older friend that the pirate bay judges did not even understand what they were prosecuting, but they were bending over to IMF/WB and US pressure.
that the real danger in the pirate bay, or torrent transmission, is not a cheesy pop song but the entire Iraq war logs instantly available.

my new friend emma bjerten at the swedish psyche-rock revival club landet, told me that when she worked with NGO's in new york, she was so surprised how controlled they were by fear of offending power and money interest.
i said yes, even human rights watch is careful to not critique too much for fear of offending so and so.

and that non-profits of the future will have to come clean.
and stop exploiting their workers like AI and HRW do.
that too.  and how do we do that in a demonetized future?

i should sue myself for working myself so hard at all my unpaid labor bereft of a monetization strategy, right?
kidding.
well.

i hope the anonymous kids are okay.
but england is not okay.
england is creepy.   and  sweden is lovely, but subservient to USA war and racist in their deportation policy.  variously racist. so moment to moment safety of any of us, is of concern.
the arrests in england of the anonymous kids disturb me.
it is okay to kill babies in Iraq and deport people to bagdad, scene of today's bombing.
but censoring internet through economic strangulation deserves police protection.  and who disrupts the subservience of paypal, mastercard, visa to american war interest, is a criminal.
power is internet.

like MIA says in her vickileekx internet mixtape release, we are like cockroaches, you try to get rid of us, but we will come back.
she's rapping about violence, life in the tenements, colonialism, british superpower, nationstate fallacy.

assange will speak on 60 minutes sunday.
