Change you can download: a billion in secret Congressional reports - Wikileaks
-
Wikileaks has released nearly a billion dollars worth of quasi-secret reports commissioned by the United States Congress.
Frontpage of sample CRS report, RL31555: China and Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Missiles: Policy Issues, dated January 7, 2009. A full listing of reports is available here. -
The 6,780 reports, current as of this month, comprise over 127,000 pages of material on some of the most contentious issues in the nation, from the U.S. relationship with Israel to the financial collapse.
-
The Federation of American Scientists, in pushing for the reports to be made public, stated that the “CRS is Congress’ Brain and it’s useful for the public to be plugged into it,”[2]. While Wired magazine called their concealment “The biggest Congressional scandal of the digital age”[3].
Although all CRS reports are legally in the public domain, they are quasi-secret because the CRS, as a matter of policy, makes the reports available only to members of Congress, Congressional committees and select sister agencies such as the GAO.
-
Opportunists smuggle out nearly all reports and sell them to cashed up special interests–lobbyists, law firms, multi-nationals, and presumably, foreign governments. Congress has turned a blind eye to special interest access, while continuing to vote down public access.

When China joined the WTO, there was also an implicit attempt to use “opening-up” to accelerate “reform.” The saying “there is no way back for an arrow when the string is drawn” is particularly true today when the world is filled with goods “made in China.” It is impossible to allow the free flow of commodities but not information when China takes part in the division of labor in globalization. It is equally impossible to allow the free flow of only the “positive” information. There is no such bargain under heaven.
The information age has descended upon us. New media like the Internet and cell phones are still developing rapidly. It will cost more and more to control the dissemination of news and will eventually become impossible.

昨天下午4时55分，网友“ZOLA”在twitter上发布即时消息:“郭建龙来电:钱烈宪正躺在地上手捂住腹部，我要求他们帮助他用手捂住止血，保持冷静，放松呼吸才能增加生存机会。”“没有生命危险，只挨了一刀，郭建龙和徐来的老婆一起去医院，伤口可能有一巴掌长，血流了不少。目前情绪稳定，正送往医院。”郭建龙向本报记者证实时当时电话的内容。
-
昨晚10时25分左右，和菜头接到电话，家属告诉他，手术结束了。胃部被刺了一个小洞，已经修补好了，意识清醒，血压正常。和菜头说，徐来为人低调，也只是一个科学记者，并不会招惹别人，但他的博客上有很多内容是比较有刺激性的，可能有人因为他的博客而与他结怨。
-
上面只是一些肤浅的思考。我期盼凶手很快就能被查出来，并且受到严厉的惩罚。祝愿钱烈宪能够很快康复，并且恢复博客的更新。其实可以考虑让一个匿名团队来更新这个博客。例如GFW Blog的博主们就做得比较好，我到现在都不知道其背后的个人或者团队。请继续保持匿名。

对性少数人的取笑——对春晚小沈阳表演的感想_方刚博士：性、婚恋、性别_新浪博客
-
以同性恋者、跨性别人群取乐，一直是主流媒介常做的事情。特别是在央视春晚这样影响巨大的节目中，这一小品无疑强化着主流社会对少数人、跨性别人群的偏见。
-
我并不想在这里责怪演艺界人士，他们不是学者，他们也不是平权运动人士，他们需要投观众的胃口以便使自己受欢迎。所以，我们没有权利指责他们。我们仍然要把矛头对准这个社会的主流文化，检省是什么样的文化与心态造就了这样的小品，检讨我们应该做些什么，才能够真正使得这个社会中的少数人得到真正的包容与尊重？

6、同样，我也认识不少接受捐助的孩子，我发现自从这些孩子接受捐助以后，大部分似乎变了一个人，比如不爱说话、害怕人等，这些表现是非常典型的自卑的表现、尊严受到伤害后的表现。这些孩子甚至可能会因此而受伤害一生，在他的这一生里，这将是永远无法抹掉的阴影。比《犯贱报》“有责任感”的报纸很多，大家完全可以去做一个调查，看看我说的是不是事实。
-
9、我觉得目前最好的解决办法，就是应该规定捐助者不能直接和受捐助者（人）对话，如果捐助者非要和受捐助者见面，那么要保证平等、要以心换心，而不是走一个形式，表现出自己的慈善。另外，媒体也应该尽量少曝光受捐助者的隐私，而学校（教育部门）也应该出台相应的管理规定，保护好学生的隐私等，不能因为捐助者或者媒体有要求，就让孩子随意参加各种受捐助活动和露面。

Digital Resistance and the Orange Revolution « iRevolution

Maidan was a group of tech-savvy pro-democracy activists who used the Internet as a tool to support their movement. Maidan in Ukranian means public square and Maidan’s website features the slogal “You CAN chnage the world you live in. And you can do it now. In Ukraine.”
- 买单？ - By feng37
-
The main activity of Maidan was election monitoring and networking with other pro-democracy organizations around Eastern Europe.
-
“websites cannot produce an activist organization.”
-
it was crucial for Maidan to frequently host real world meetings as their membership base increased. The human element was particularly important. This explains why Maidan encouraged users to disclose their identity whenever possible.
-
The community benefited from centralized leadership that developed the organization’s culture, controlled its assets and provided the strategy to achieve desired goals. The Maidan experience thus demonstrates a hybrid organization.
-
Pora, meaning “It’s Time” in Ukranian, was a well-organized group of pro-democracy volunteers that “emerged as an information sharing campaign and during the elections morphed into coordinators of mass protest centered around tent cities in towns throughout Ukraine. The grassroots movement took its inspiration from Serbia’s Otpor movements as well as “older civic movements in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.”
-
“the active use of modern communication systems in the campaign’s management,” and “mobile phones played an important role for mobile fleet of activists.”
-
“a ssytem of immedate dissemination of information by SMS was put in place and proved important.” In addition, “some groups provided the phones themselves, while others provided SIM cards, and most provided airtime.”
-
roviding rapid reporting in a way that no other medium could. As tent cities across the Ukraine became the sign of the revolution,
-
The news feed from the regions [became] vitally important. Every 10 to 15 minutes another tent city appeared in some town or other, and the fact was soon reported on the air.
-
While the government certainly saw the Internet as a threat, the government had not come to consensus regarding the “legal and political frameworks it would use to silence journalists that published openly on this new medium.”
-
many online journalists unlike mainstream journalists were free from the threat of defamation charges.
-
one of the earliest examples of what Steven Mann calls “sousveillance,” meaning, “the monitoring of authority figures by grassroots groups, using the technologies and techniques of surveillance.”
-
Technology certainly does not make possible a direct democracy, where everyone can participate in a decision, nor representative democracy where decision makers are elected; nor is it really a one-person-one-vote referendum style democracy. Instead it is a consultative process known as ‘rough consensus and running code.’
-
the real power of traditional media. Natalia Dmytruk worked for the Ukraine’s state-run television news program as an interpreter of sign language for the hearing-impaired. As the revolution picked up momentum, she decided she couldn’t lie anymore and broke from the script with the following message:
I am addressing everybody who is deaf in the Ukraine. Our president is Victor Yushchenko. Do not trust the results of the central election committee. They are all lies. . . . And I am very ashamed to translate such lies to you. Maybe you will see me again…
-
“Dmytruk’s live silent signal helped spread the news, and more people began spilling into the streets to contest the vote.”
-
itizen journalists and digital activists participated in civil resistance trainings across the country, courtesy of Otpor. The use of humor and puns directed at the regime is a classic civil resistance tactic.
-
one of key reasons that explains the success of the revolution has to do with the fact that “the protesters were very well trained and very good at protesting… very, very good.”
-
Digital activists need to acquire the tactical and strategic know-how developed over decades of civil resistance movements. Otherwise, tactical victories by digital activists may never translate into overall strategic victory for a civil resistance movement.

在提到白衣行动的时候，你评论说：“但您设想中的动员亲朋好友都穿白衣服、甚至看到一个“被白色覆盖的中国”，我认为是过于理想化了。根据我的认识，在主流人群尤其是我的同龄人里，不知当年事情的是多数，知道的人里选择忘记的是多数，没忘记的人里假装忘记的是多数。这20年里成长起来的年轻一代从小受的教育、被灌输的“常识”，决定了他们不会像您盼望的那样制造出一片白茫茫大地真干净，而只会在国家受到所谓外国的欺凌和侮辱时手拉手心连心地站出来，团结成一片红色的海洋。也许我悲观了。”

第一个疑问。15日发生的事情，18号才见国内媒体报道，并且到现在为止，都是由《环球时报》援引自俄罗斯或者美国媒体的报道。据我所知，新华社、中新社、中央电视台等一众国内媒体大鳄都在俄罗斯设有常驻报道组，面对如此重大的新闻，中国媒体反应如此之迟钝，显示出超业余的水平，悲哀。

It is inevitable and right that Clinton will bring up Tibet, human rights and other contentious issues. But all evidence suggests that she would like to do so in the context of a re-formatted US-China relationship that places collaboration at its heart.
