Down the Epstein Rabbit Hole

Strap in. Amazing Polly talks about IN-Q-Tel, who the Maxwell sisters married & their mega-huge impact on culture. I go in to Aaron Swartz, MIT Media Labs, the Santa Fe Institute, Edge.org, and the whole NASA / Jet Propulsion Labs Jack Parsons story with a mind-blower of an update on that! Also – Did you know there was a project to put artists into the defense & tech corporations back in the 60s? It’s a pretty unbelievable story, which I share with you here. All that and MORE. BOOM BOOM BOOM.

George Webb picks up where Amazing Polly leaves off. Namely, Webb discusses how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell used student visas loopholes to procure and trade drugs. This is all fallout from Operation Cassandra, whereby the Obama administration allowed Hezbollah terrorists to freely traffic drugs and launder money as part of the Iranian nuclear pact.

One…Hundred…Billion Dollars!

First the North Koreans threaten to nuke us. Now, the Anonymous beehive is pledging to rain down chaos in retribution against the US Department of Justice for strong-arming Internet guru Aaron Swartz, compelling him to commit suicide.

Anonymous hacked the U.S. Sentencing Commission website on Saturday and implanted this video warning. Lord knows, the Department of Justice is hardly a paragon of justice. But it’s impossible to take the Anonymous cyber Robin Hoods seriously when they hold forth riff and raff like Julian Assange and Bradley Manning as their idols. Go ahead boys, hotwire a Cheetos factory and strike a blow for global freedom. H/T Small Dead Animals

Feds Hounded Net Activist

A friend of the late Aaron Swartz blames the federal government for driving the computer programmer, hacker and activist to commit suicide last week. “The idea that an agent of the federal government would be able to pick out a person and threaten to ruin their life is not the kind of thing that we hope for in a justice system,” says Parker Higgins, an internet activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Swartz helped create the web syndication process RSS. He also was instrumental in founding the popular social media site REDDIT and organizing the successful campaign against the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA). He was facing up to 35 years in prison and $1 million in fines for downloading more than 4 million academic articles from the database JSTOR. H/T Reason.TV
