Sorting Through The Newly Revealed CIA Hacking Tools

Wikileaks had promised that after the first of the year there would be startling new releases of documents. It was unclear just what they would consist of, but on March 7th they provided a huge document dump they code-named “Vault 7”. Here’s the link so everyone can dig in for themselves: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ I am not […]

NSA Spying Update; Dedicated To Lockheed Martin

We’ve only touched on the NSA spy stories a few times lately; but this one is dedicated to the good folks at NSA contractor Lockheed Martin. Ever since I wrote “The NSA, CIA Venture Capital, and Peter Thiel”, Lockheed Martin has logged on to my Statcounter every stinkin’ day. They are like a dog turd […]

    “Spit In The Ocean #7 – All about Kesey” is an eclectic collection of real tales about legendary Oregon writer Ken Kesey.

  • Review: “Acid Dreams” By Lee & Shlain
    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]

    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
  • Review: Gold Warriors – America’s Secret Recovery Of Yamashita’s Gold
    This book, “Gold Warriors”, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave is really, really good. It can be expensive because it is out of print, but I bought it long ago and it has been waiting in my “to read” pile. Affordable copies can still be found, I ordered one for a friend and apparently it is […]
  • “Burning” Issues Remain After 2013 Exchange Fire
    Photo c/o exchangeorcas.org People who have lived in San Juan County long enough are familiar with the original “Exchange”, a recycle/re-use operation, designed to take useful items out of the waste stream. The “Exchange” is variously reported as being established between 1981 and 1983, and contains nearly everything needed to outfit a household. The Exchange […]
