Welcome to another edition of The Last Week or so in review, a collection of various stories from our contributors, writers, bloggers and associates.
1/ MIT Moves to Intervene in Release of Aaron Swartz’s Secret Service File
So what does MIT have to hide? Public embarrassment more likely, impropriety in information sharing? Just as likely.
2/ Colorado town wants to put bounty on Fedaral drones
“Because the ordinance doesn’t limit the licenses to only Deer Creek residents, the town could raise money from people in other states who want the novelty of having an official drone-hunting license.”
3/ HAARP shuts down Alaska facility.
Not much fanfare but amateur radio techies released the info.
4/ PRISM and German intelligence involvement
Germany has officially launched an “investigation” into how deep government agents were in
Germany with the American NSA. Really though it’s just going to be a game of musical chairs until a suitable scape goat is found. Stay tuned for other countries to “realize” that their intelligence agencies were “complicit” as well. Private companies as well as other countries agencies involved such as GCHQ (UK), Austria,Australia,New Zealand,Israel, and probably a host of other ones were not even aware of……yet.
5/ NYC Mayor Bloomberg bans food donations to homeless shelters. Bureaucracy run amok!
Apparently this is because the donations salt and whatever contents can’t be assessed. WTF! Anyone want to bet this asshole has friends or connections to the food industry?!
I dedicated Dead Kennedys “Kill the Poor” to Mayor Blooberg over twitter! Fucking 1%er!

Now that we have the neutron bomb
It’s nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home¡
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna
Kill kill kill kill kill the poor¡tonight
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate’s gone
Feel free again
O’ life’s a dream with you, miss lily white
Jane fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it’s okay
So let’s get dressed and dance away the night
While they¡
Kill kill kill kill kill the poor¡tonight
backs for throwing juveniles into jail! When we were talking about this scheme years ago it was a “conspiracy theory”.

Still working on the Royal Dutch Shell and PRC/Dutch Military story. Also have quite a bit on the plate with family and work so it may be awhile. Thanks to the contributors for keeping us going. Cheers, EvS.
