#302 -- Dispatches from the War on Christmas

A mostly lighthearted look at the Right Wing's favorite fantasy. Which is: that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, promote drug use, etc., etc. We'll hear ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, personal reflections by KD, and a short history lesson. (The only real wars on Christmas were fought by the Puritans.) We end with selections from a fine comic audio *collage* on the subject by Scooter.

Lavabit Founder explains why he suddenly shut his secure email service down forever

Lavabit Founder Ladar Levison explains why he suddenly shut his secure email service down forever: the FBI had demanded the secret keys to his customers' secured emails, and he wasn't even allowed to talk about it! Perhaps the most horrifying feature of today's US surveillance culture is the government's ability to forbid any public discussion by holders of private confidential data who've been ordered to turn over that data. Close in rank to this would be the outrageous serpentine rules that make challenging such orders nearly impossible. In this context, Ladar Levison stands out as a victim who fought back on behalf of the paying customers of Lavabit, his unique secure email service. (It has been suggested that Lavabit was Edward Snowden's email provider.) At a remarkable event 11-26-2013 at Harvard U, Levison recounted his frightening story and invited audience questions - and there were plenty! With virtually no chance of holding back the FBI's demand for the secret codes protecting his customers' current and stored emails - no lawyers who understood any of this even for money, the only challenge venue 1000 miles away, and a $5000 per day clock running for noncompliance - Levison opted to shut Lavabit down completely, forever ... THEN release the lengthy secret code, in tiny printed form. Not only that, but he made that thousand mile trek, and he finally found a lawyer, so there's a challenge currently in play of this unbelievably evil situation. By virtue of that challenge, he is now permitted to discuss some things - not all - in public. This recording is the fruit. One of the more colorful commenters was acclaimed MIT-based hacker and free software activist Richard Stallman.
