Re: Request for transcript: "Writers Especially Concerned About NSA Actions"
That herd behavior is disappointing but customary cowardice. Worse happened after 9/11. Many once valiant FOI fighters cleansed their websites and heralded the need to obey the war-mongerers, and urgently cautioned others as if the propaganda was believable. No doubt, this self-censorship is market-driven to please funders, advertizers and publishers who dare not displease their dinner companions at Aspen, Davos, Bohemian Grove, and for sure the DC centroid of privileged access to valuable information, much of it spy boosting leakage of the Snowden type. The heavy censorship of the Snowden documents by the hoarders and their extremely slow pace of release while rhetorizing and hyping the minimalist product fits this spy-favorite marketing schemata. NPR is not what it used to appear to be. It has booted and censored a slew of its reporters, editors and contributors. Not alone, the journalism industry is panicked at loss of customers and is rushing to cleanse its harem. Poor discards are deperately seeking Omidyar and Soros invitation to their opium dens as if from frying pan into the fire. At 12:08 PM 11/17/2013, you wrote:

"Writers Especially Concerned About NSA Actions" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=245660885
While polls show many Americans are uneasy with government actions revealed by NSA leaker Edward Snowden, one profession in particular seems to be alarmed. A new survey of professional writers finds them much more concerned than the general public. An organization of writers says that a large majority of its members have "never been as worried about privacy rights and freedom of the press as they are today."
-- Christopher Nielsen "They who can give up essential liberty for temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." --Thomas Jefferson
" The heavy censorship of the Snowden documents by the hoarders and their extremely slow pace of release while rhetorizing and hyping the minimalist product fits this spy-favorite marketing schemata." I noticed this with wikileaks, they have torrented all of the files available on their website and claim it comes to 20,000, I was under the impression that Mr/Miss Manning gave him 500,000 documents, so not including the stuff before that there should be in excess of 600,000 documents. Though I remember the days he was stalking round TOR trying to find people to help him and got the distinct impression then that he was like the sort of person who wants to be in power, not in it for whatever cause he proclaims but for the notoriety. -----Original Message----- From: cryptome-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:cryptome-bounce@freelists.org] On Behalf Of John Young Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2013 5:53 PM To: cypherpunks@cpunks.org; cryptome@freelists.org Subject: [cryptome] Re: Request for transcript: "Writers Especially Concerned About NSA Actions" That herd behavior is disappointing but customary cowardice.

Are you talking about Assange? If yes, looks as if Assange is in jail while the Tor guys are still being paid by the pentagon to peddle their snake oil and furhter the interest of the US military and other american nazis.
