Recovery Hype: American Capitalism s Weapon of Mass Distraction

By Richard Wolff

Hyping a recovery helps politicians to boost their popularity (or at least, slow its decline). It also serves to give masses of people with growing economic difficulties the impression that 'other people' are experiencing a recovery. So they blame themselves (their age, skill set, education and so on) for missing out.

Jeremy Hammond Sentenced To 10 Years In Prison

Convicted hacker Jeremy Hammond was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for stealing internal emails from the global intelligence firm Stratfor.

The FBI could have stopped the Stratfor leak at any point: Sue Crabtree

The persecution of Jeremy Hammond is largely being ignored by the US mass media but the case of the young man accused of being involved in the passing of the Stratfor E-Mails to WikiLeaks is full of contradictions and serious reasons to question the motives of the judge and the entire prosecution.

The US can lock up hackers, but it can't crush their spirit

Jeremy Hammond is just the the latest to be targeted in a global witchhunt against the brightest minds of a generation.
