All the revolutions lately make me wonder whether our global overlords have actually gone too far or if social media makes revolution possible.

Damn them. They know how much time I spend in the cookie isle at the grocery store. That’s my little secret.

LOL. I used to be an English teacher and I enjoyed the style.

Srsly? WTF? The style of the narrative made it read like a spy novel. My only criticism is that I wish there were more secrets published in the book. Of course, we all know why there weren’t.

It’s a real page turner and a fun read beyond being an important story to tell. I really wish I knew what she knows.

Hunh. I’d have thought a pet dragon would be more likely at a Chinese palace.

Knowing that the NSA whistleblowers who went to IG wound up having their names passed directly from the “proper channels” for whistleblowing to the DOJ for prosecution explains why it was in Snowden’s interest to go directly to the press.
Glenn Greenwald was an excellent choice. Washington Post, not so much.

From greenwarrior’s link:
Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are.
I like this guy…

Here’s a picture of plain clothes police beating a Protester. I’ve seen tweets about the knife wielding AKP types hanging with the police tonight.

Lots of reports of that kind. Erdogan speaking to members of Gulen movement as if they support Erdogan. Scary stuff.

Just saw a twitter report that according to hurriyet (a major paper) crowds tried to lynch anti gov ptotesters in Konya. As a note, in he early nineties, there was an infamous incident in Sivas where a hotel housing intellectuals was burned down by a mob. Not a good development.

Gobsmackingly corrupt. Yet the crowds turning up at he AKP rally for Erdogan seem okay with it. Erdogan’s speech also noted that other governments gassed their own protesters. I recall vaguely the raid on Zuccotti including clearing out the medic tent with violence as well. The actions of the US government cracking down on occupy [...]

Anyone following Erdogan’s speech right now? Sez gov will investigate protesters on social media and English teachers who are participating in Gezi.

Military reportedly ready to get involved in Turkey, but in support of police. This makes no sense to me since military reputedly are guardians of secular, democratic Turkey, and, I thought, generally opposed to AKP and Erdogan. What am I missing?
