That's right, I'm going to register Republican.

This Popular Front Democrat is going to switch parties to vote for Rep. Ron Paul in the primary here next year.

After the jump I'll explain why and then try and find a good hiding place.

Blogs, Wikis, Flickr, RSS -- the list keeps growing of technology and innovations that help people share their voices and knowledge. In particular, new kinds of collaborative news sites are leveraging these tools. Wikinews, OhmyNews and Digg, among many others, have sparked both enthusiasm and controversy.
I'm a graduate student in the Kennedy School at Harvard, and am looking for users of collaborative news sites. This research project seeks to get a better understanding of why people use -- and how they value -- these collaborative news sites.

TAKE THE SURVEY. It's short and will help this Harvard graduate student with his research project.

The survey, and some of my answers to it are below the fold. Plus a bit more that wouldn't fit up top. Read More

B'sMNPs (Bush's Mysterious New Programs)

The LEDE

Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration's domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.

You may ask: What's a Fifth Columnist? Go read up quickly and meet us below the fold for the links to the story and the official army documents (pdf format). Read More

Yesterday I came across this article by David Sugar (titled the same as my diary) (pdf_version ).

Within Daivd's story about his trip to Venezuela for the International Forum on Free Knowledge he tells the story of what really happened in December of 2002 when the Venezuelan oil workers were locked out from work.

What's most disturbing about this story is how it has been ignored, discarded, passed up, burried... whatever you want to call it.

Below the fold I'll have some exerpts and a bit of my commentary. Read More

Jacob describes his travels from San Francisco to Iraq to New Orleans and back with his outstanding photos behind him. This is one of the most courageous men I have ever met in my life - a true hero to many and a master of communications.

You have got to see this video. (it's under an hour)
Lots of good stuff about Katrina.

What this isn't: My favorite quotes, I find that ranking things such as these is non-trivial.

What this is: A collection of quotes I have come upon recently. I'm going to just put them down in the extended and maybe you'd like to talk about them. However, feel free to post your favorite quotes as well.

Some of them are a bit long, but I think they speak for themselves.

More quotes can be found at wikiquote.org.

italics :-) & bold are mine, of course

Tucker Carlson interviewed BYU Professor Dr. Steven Jones about his paper released recently. Here's the abstract:

"In writing this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned explosives. I consider the official FEMA, NIST, and 9-11 Commission reports that fires plus damage alone caused complete collapses of all three buildings. And I present evidence for the explosive-demolition hypothesis, which is suggested by the available data, testable and falsifiable, and yet has not been analyzed in any of the reports funded by the US government."

Below the fold I've posted a little exchange from the interview, and a link to the video.

Duplicated @ Heathbar's Crunch

So I was listening to Alex Jones' radio show today. His site was hit by the partial internet outage that made waves last week. Because of that Alex was speculating about how the internet could crippled and replaced with the "internet2", which has many restrictions and controls. Alex believes that scenario will play out eventually, and a guerrila net will emerge.

Now enough speculation. What I hope to accomplish with this diary is to plant the spark a discussion about the internet2 and offer what little knowledge I have of it myself.

Firstly, internet2 is just an organization. The network itself is called the Abilene Network.

Soon to appear on Heathbar's Crunch

Below the fold you will find a rough, edited transcript of part of David Icke's infamous 1999 Vancouver event. I have edited it and maybe mashed it up a bit. I'll try to remember to note any sections that I create solely on my own. This section of the six hour talk is about how society's norms corral humans like sheep to control them. If you don't want to accept the premise that a few people rule the world, toss those parts out. I do think that he is onto something with this analogy, and I'll be available in the comments to try have some dialog on this subject. Read More

I like Reggae Music. A lot. I like many other types of music and I'll admit that not all reggae is good or great. But (IMHO) it is probably the most underappreciated/underated genres of music.

Pyrrho might say that I've got a bias for reggae.

But anyways you probably won't believe me, but Sinead O'Connor has a new CD out and all the tracks are covers. Mostly Burning Spear songs. My roomate just had to get the album because he loves Burning Spear. I figured it would at least be a nice collector's item. But back to my point. Sinead's cover of Buju Banton's "Untold Stories" is my favorite track. Now I'm not sure if I like Buju's version better, or not. She does a very good job.

I'm not sure the origin of the lyrics, but I'm fairly sure that Buju Banton wrote them. If I find out conclusively I'll update.

Wake up and smell da coffee. Trust your inner feelings. To solve a problem, the first thing that must be done is to understand the true nature and scope of the problem. If you don't understand your enemy, how can you begin to fight it? We must take the spotlight off these meaningless pop icons, and put it on the top 1% of the powerful elite. The simple truth is this: 1% of the population owns 40% of the wealth and 10% of the population owns 90% of the wealth. None of these people obtained their wealth in a humane or ethical manner. If you wish to join this elite you must give up your humanity and your ethics. Anyone that claims divinity is really saying that their ancestors are not from this planet, hence not of human origin, hence inhumane. Indeed, these self-proclaimed blue bloods, that have controlled the planet for time without memory, are still controlling this planet as evidenced by their inhumane ACTIONS and not their humane words.

I'll explain myself in the extended sectcion.

I ran across this CitizenSpook blog today while running down a rumor from the comments at crooksandliars about a pulled freep thread.

This CitizenSpook has been mentioned and linked here a few times recently. (according to google)

Forget those last two links... Go read the citizenspook blog entry. It is long, but very comprehensive. I highly recommend it to everyone; even DHinMI ;-).
