Is it a bird or a plane? No, it’s a UAV about to slaughter some civilians in your name…
The controversy about drones – or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) – is receiving a lot of media attention. There are over 7000 drones in the USA. They are used for warfare as well as surveillance and policing. Put simply, drones turn war and surveillance into an art form.

US sealed indictment against Wikileaks: Julian Assange responds
Given the recent reports in the Australian media on whether the government there is aware of a US sealed indictment on Wikileaks, the Australian Radio 2UE interviewed Julian Assange to get his response on this. Here is a transcript of the 2UE interview, which also raised questions re. the decision by the UK Supreme Court on the matter of extradition to Sweden.
This week also saw the latest episode of The World Tomorrow. The episode deals with cyber threats, hacker attacks and laws aiming to tackle internet piracy. Julian Assange interviews activists from the Cypherpunk movement, including: Andy Müller-Maguhn, a member of the German hacker association Chaos Computer Club; Jérémie Zimmermann, a co-founder of the Paris-based group La Quadrature du Net, which advocates the free circulation of knowledge in the Internet; and Jacob Appelbaum, a US independent computer security researcher and activist currently involved in the Tor project designing an online anonymity system.

US surveillance on Occupy protesters: technologies revealed
We provide documents, below, on the surveillance technologies and methodologies of the Fusion Centers as well as information on the location of the Fusion Centers and who heads each of them. Fusion Centers are a series of 72 federally-funded information hubs run by the US Department of Homeland Security’s National Operations Center (NOC). They were founded to expedite the sharing of information among state and local law enforcement and the federal government, to monitor localized terrorist threats, and to sidestep the ban on the CIA and the military from carrying out domestic surveillance.
Here are three documents to download on the technologies deployed by Fusion Centers: a Fusion center technology guide and a Catalog of Services and a TPEP_Fact Sheet.
Thanks to Michael Moore and the National Lawyers Guild, here are documents to download that detail the coordination of surveillance on the Occupy movement by the Fusion Centers:
