This seminar will explore persuasion in a wide range of media. Our task will be to evaluate humanity’s ability to maintain agency in the face of the increasingly sophisticated influence techniques used against us.

Does the emergence of interactive media change the balance of power between the masses and their would-be controllers? Or does the Internet merely provide the illusion of independent thinking on yet another tightly controlled media landscape?

More importantly, what is the real relationship between people, media, technology, and power? How can we come to recognize the biases of the media that we use - especially before we have committed our society to their implementation?

The president is unconstitutionally wiretapping the telephone and Internet communications of millions of ordinary Americans.
Companies like AT&T want immunity for their illegal collaboration with the President’s program.

And Congress might let them get away with it.

Stop the Spying Now!

This one is pretty basic. Your conversations have been recorded. Yes - that’s what this fuss is about. You thought you had a constitution to protect you, but now you feel like an idiot.

You know, I wasn’t allowed to present these facts in either case. And the jurors were misled, because a half-truth isn’t a truth. A half-truth is a lie. The jury was told that I had distributed this material, but they didn’t hear that I had been told that I was free from prosecution.

That’s an estoppel issue. Let me explain that. Let’s say there’s a red light, but a cop waves you through. Another cop, on the other side, can’t give you a ticket for crossing the red light because you have been told that what you’re doing was legal, right? You’re following the cop’s orders.

So I was told by the city attorney’s office that what I was doing was legal and I was free from prosecution. So even if she was wrong, I should’ve been able to say to a jury, “Hey, look. I was led to believe that what I was doing was legal by an official.” But the judge said, “No. Even though this person is a government official, she can’t testify for you.”

RU: The jury from the first trial was outraged after your conviction when they found out what was actually going on. That was very unusual. Describe what happened with the jury after the trial.

No comment.

This video was taken during an MRI scan. A scanner was installed in an old trailer without securing the grad cables!! They are hanging vertically at the back of the magnet, flapping in the magnetic breeze. This caused HUGE artifacts, both from spiking and from temporal variations in the main field and gradient fields giving the appearance of very bad eddy current compensation. Of course, eddies measured fine under the low power conditions of the eddy current compensation protcols.

Look at them fly.
