Good luck finding “liberals” who take those positions now, case in point being the authoritarian tactics most liberals strongly supported during COVID. The positions of most liberals have dramatically shifted, in lockstep with the positions of the DNC. One result is that I am politically homeless. I am pessimistic that the United States will ever figure itself out, that it will ever again treasure free speech.</p> <p>Two months ago, an active tenured law professor recently told me that the First Amendment was a good idea at the time and the Founders were well-intentioned, but we now need to allow government control of misinformation and disinformation. He trusts the FBI and the CIA to tell us what is true.</p> <p>What?? What’s going on? I’ve been struggling to figure things out.

That information belongs to us. Governments rule by our consent. If they want to keep secrets, they must have our permission to do so. And they never have the right to keep crimes secret.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">I’m an American. Many of you are from the U.K. In our countries, we’re building skyscrapers and huge new complexes to store our secrets, because we don’t have room to keep them all as is!</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Why do we have so many secrets? Julian Assange told us why. From an essay he wrote:</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">‘Authoritarian regimes give rise to forces which oppose them by pushing against the individual and collective will to freedom, truth and self realization. Plans which assist authoritarian rule, once discovered, induce resistance. Hence these plans are concealed by successful authoritarian powers.’</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">When governments become authoritarian, they inspire resistance. Techniques must then be developed to repel that resistance. Those techniques must then be concealed.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">In short: the worse a country is, the more secrets it has. We have a lot of secrets now.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Julian Assange became famous as we were creating a vast new government-within-a-government, a system of secret prisons, extraordinary rendition, mass surveillance, and drone assassination. Many of these things we know about only because of Wikileaks. Ostensibly, all this secrecy was needed to fight foreign terrorism.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">The brutal irony now is the architects of that system no longer feel the need to hide their …</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/24/matt-taibbi-free-julian-assange/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">37948</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Whistle-Blower Daniel Ellsberg’s Final Thoughts</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/18/whistle-blower-daniel-ellsbergs-final-thoughts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=whistle-blower-daniel-ellsbergs-final-thoughts&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=whistle-blower-daniel-ellsbergs-final-thoughts</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/18/whistle-blower-daniel-ellsbergs-final-thoughts/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Jun 2023 01:16:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Free Speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Propaganda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Secrecy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Whistle-blowers]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=37892</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>On June 4, 2023, two weeks before he died, Daniel Ellsberg gave one final interview at <em>Politico</em>. Michael Hirsh’s interview appears in an article titled: <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/06/04/daniel-ellsberg-final-advice-00099639" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Daniel Ellsberg Is Dying. And He Has Some Final Things to Say: The iconic whistleblower reflects on the urgent need for others to follow in his footsteps.”</a></p> <p>I have the greatest admiration for Daniel Ellsberg’s bravery and his patriotism as a whistle-blower. I am writing this post to share some of his final thoughts, which I consider to be critically important in this era of increasing societal willingness to tolerate both corruption of own’s own tribe and overall government censorship. But first, a few thoughts about whistle-blowers.</p> <p>A lot of people are uneasy with whistle-blowers–they think of them as law-breakers, which is true. But what else are you supposed to do when you are a government employee who has a front-row seat to corruption in your own office? I admit that I feel more passion for the plight of whistle-blowers than many people <a href="https://dangerousintersection.org/2014/04/18/some-context-for-my-concern-with-government-corruption/">because I was one.</a> In the late 1980s, I became an anonymous source for various newspaper articles in the <em>St. Louis Post-Dispatch</em> reporting the corruption of Missouri Attorney General, William Webster. <a href="https://dangerousintersection.org/2008/04/04/how-to-create-a-diploma-mill-how-to-legally-become-the-president-of-a-fake-college/">See also here.</a></p> <p>I understand the hesitation that many people initially have for supporting whistle-blowers, because they are law-breakers. We have laws that put whistle-blowers at financial and criminal risk for exposing corruption, which usually (as in my case) requires revealing internal documents to prove that corruption. The choice might …</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/18/whistle-blower-daniel-ellsbergs-final-thoughts/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">37892</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Recounting the Heroism of Daniel Ellsberg</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/17/recounting-the-heroism-of-daniel-ellsberg/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recounting-the-heroism-of-daniel-ellsberg&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recounting-the-heroism-of-daniel-ellsberg</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/17/recounting-the-heroism-of-daniel-ellsberg/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Jun 2023 03:16:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Heroes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Whistle-blowers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World politics]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=37881</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Glenn Greenwald dedicates most of this episode of System Update extolling the heroism and moral integrity of Daniel Ellsberg, who died yesterday of liver cancer.</p> <p><a href="https://rumble.com/v2un1x6-system-update-show-101.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37882" src="http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-10.10.39-PM-1024x858.png" alt="Screenshot 2023 06 17 at 10.10.39 PM" width="541" height="453" title="Recounting the Heroism of Daniel Ellsberg 3" srcset="https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-10.10.39-PM-1024x858.png 1024w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-10.10.39-PM-300x251.png 300w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-10.10.39-PM-768x643.png 768w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-10.10.39-PM.png 1466w" sizes="(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px"/></a></p> <p>As you might expect, Ellsberg and Ed Snowden met each other and admired each other, as you can see and here in this extraordinary discussion involving Glenn Greenwald, Ed Snowden and Laura Poitras:</p> <p><a href="https://rumble.com/v2sgyx2-snowden-revelations-10-year-anniversary-glenn-greenwald-speaks-with-snowden.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37884" src="http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.05.51-PM-1024x898.png" alt="Screenshot 2023 06 17 at 11.05.51 PM" width="473" height="415" title="Recounting the Heroism of Daniel Ellsberg 4" srcset="https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.05.51-PM-1024x898.png 1024w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.05.51-PM-300x263.png 300w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.05.51-PM-768x673.png 768w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.05.51-PM.png 1460w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px"/></a></p> <p>And finally, yesterday’s tweet by Ed Snowden, sharing a March, 2023 statement by Daniel Ellsberg regarding the most typical purpose of<a href="https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1669807075050831872https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1669807075050831872" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the U.S. document classification system:</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1669807075050831872" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37886" src="http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.02.56-PM-829x1024.png" alt="Screenshot 2023 06 17 at 11.02.56 PM" width="509" height="629" title="Recounting the Heroism of Daniel Ellsberg 5" srcset="https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.02.56-PM-829x1024.png 829w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.02.56-PM-243x300.png 243w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.02.56-PM-768x948.png 768w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-17-at-11.02.56-PM.png 1006w" sizes="(max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px"/></a>…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2023/06/17/recounting-the-heroism-of-daniel-ellsberg/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">37881</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
