Dear Huffington Post,
As registered "Citizen Reporters," we attempted to attend the Tea Party in Boston Common this evening. It was supposed to be happening from 5-7, but by the time we got there, around 5:20, there were no protesters. However, the trash cans of the Common provided evidence they had been there:
#01:
“Your Choice/1776 or 1984” and “A GOVERNMENT BIG ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY by Thomas Jefferson”
#02
“Close D.C. SAVE A COUNTRY!”
#03
“RON PAUL/HOPE FOR AMERICA/Be a part of it”
#04
Abandoned signs on the walking path through the Common.
We talked to a woman canvassing for a group that works with foster kids, who told us that she had seen the tax people boarding busses and had heard that they were headed to the harbor. We figured that since we didn’t know where along the harbor they would be, we would just call it a night and head down to our apartment in the North End. On the way home, though, we stumbled into the wrap up of what must have been the formal dumping-of-the-tea-into-the-harbor at Christopher Columbus Park on the Waterfront. While the action was clearly over, there were a few memorable images of the denouement:
#05
The protesters, socializing. Most appeared to be energized by the event.
#06
When I took his picture, this man seemed happy and said, “Finally, somebody likes me.” He was concerned that the mainstream media outlets present at the protest had not been eager to hear his message, which was “Down with both Parties.” His sign juxtaposes “Bush/ ‘Compassionate’ Conservative/War/Torture/Wiretaps/Bailouts/Trillion $ Deficits” with “Obama/ ‘Change’ we can believe in/War/Torture/Wiretaps/Bailouts/Trillion $ Deficits.”
#07
This military family was relatively somber.
#08
A crowd of protesters formed around this man in 1776 costume.
#09
The crowd watching the man in the 1776 costume, including a very cute kid.
#10
A man holds a sign that reads, “STOP USING OUR KIDS MONEY AND START USING COMMON SENSE,” while his children play in the background.
#11
This woman was very pleased to show off her sign. Another woman laughed, "Isn't that a great sign?"
#12
Again, the teabaggers left their mark on the public space.
Thanks for giving us an excuse to document this chilling moment in our country’s history. We are used to historical reenactments up here, but this was something else altogether.

Swedish parliament was about to pass a bill that allowed for FRA, the National Defence Radio Agency, to wiretapp all e-mail and phone traffic. And following an initiative from The Pirate Party, a crowd of hundreds was gathered in front of parliament to protest the bill and try to convince representatives to vote against it. The crowd was a mixture of pirates, the journalists’ union, the political parties’ youth organizations and worried citizens.

19 June 2012, Jakarta - Police General, Gores Mere of Indonesia’s Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) Indonesia’s equivalent of the U.S. DEA, held meetings with JIATF West Director, RDML James Rendon, USCG at the Joint Interagency Counter Drug Operations Center (JIACDOC) located at BNN Headquarters in the city of Jakarta.
The construction of the JIACDOC was funded by JIATF West in 2007 and construction completed in 2008. The JIACDOC is an Interagency Fusion Center complete with wiretapping and Intel analysis facilities used to combat the narcotics trade.
In addition to the construction of the JIACDOC, JIATF West also sponsored construction to expand a counternarcotics training academy located in the town of Lido. The construction project included barracks, computer enhanced classrooms, latrines and roadwork.
JIATF West has a long standing positive relationship with Indonesia in support law enforcement efforts to combat narcotic related criminal activity.
This is my submission for the npr.org ornament contest. One of the most talked about events of last year. The White House and wiretapping.

Wait. Whazzat? It's the War on Terror? Oh. Oooh. Yikes.
I should really let all those captured terriers out of this prison that I built just off the coast of Cuba.
But I'm still going to illegally wiretap all terrier cell communication, so there. Nyah.
The Mob Museum, officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, is a history museum located in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Opened on February 14th, 2012, the Mob Museum is dedicated to featuring the artifacts, stories, and history of organized crime in the United States, as well as the actions and initiatives by law enforcement to prevent such crimes. The Museum is housed in the former Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse, which was built in 1933 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum is located on Stewart Avenue, two blocks north of Fremont Street, the main artery of the downtown casino district.
The centerpiece of the Mob Museum is the second floor courtroom, which was the location of one of fourteen national Kefauver Committee hearings to expose organized crime held in 1950 and 1951. The Museum also acquired the blood-stained wall where the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre took place. Other exhibits focus on Mob violence, casino money skimming operations, and wiretapping by law enforcement.

check it out!
it's a truly brilliant radio program.
i typically listen to it alone on Sunday afternoons... kinda weird sitting in a large auditorium with ~300 people listening to Wiretap. I never imagined that there would that many other radio nerds out there listening. also a little distracting seeing him read in person.
good times nonetheless.
seriously. check it out.
What a atmosphere to meet the devil at midnight ;)
The wind was roaring through the domes and a few people were screaming in the upper dome to create incomparable echoes.

We talked to a woman canvassing for a group that works with foster kids, who told us that she had seen the tax people boarding busses and had heard that they were headed to the harbor. We figured that since we didn’t know where along the harbor they would be, we would just call it a night and head down to our apartment in the North End. On the way home, though, we stumbled into the wrap up of what must have been the formal dumping-of-the-tea-into-the-harbor at Christopher Columbus Park on the Waterfront.

This is an important moment. The Bush White House has been endangering the country by doing everything but fighting terrorism, and they have endangered the nation by disavowing the Constitution as a uniting document.
The fight is on. Today, a group of attendees at an Albert Gonzales speech (photo op) turned their backs on him and reminded us what the Founding Fathers thought of the kind of tyranny Bush is trying to establish. Of course, Gonzales is a Bush crony who cares nothing about America or its Constituion, only furthering political goals - a traitorous violation of his oath of office.
More about the protest here.

Black Panther Huey Newton once lived in the tall apartment house: "1200 Lakeshore, site of Newton’s infamous penthouse apartment, from where he regularly observed Panther-involved demonstrations on the courthouse’s front steps via telescope, while FBI agents occupied an apartment across the hall and wiretapped his phone."

LAWYERS, GUNS, AND MONEY: Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley briefs the media on a wiretap investigation that yielded 10 illegal handguns, more than 5 kilos of heroin, and upwards of $80,000 in cash. "One would have to go back to the days of the Mafia, when the wiretap statute was last updated, to find a more effective use of telephone intercepts to climb the rungs of a criminal ladder," Conley said.
According to researchers from the New England Historic Genealogical Society, George Dubya Bush and Barack Hussein Obama are 10th cousins, once removed, and linked together by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.
Birds of of the same feather,
Always flock together as...
Both Bush and Obama support the TARP Bankers Bailout,
Both Bush and Obama support the Patriot Act,
Both Bush and Obama support FISA even though Senator Obama was against Illegal Wiretaps, Barack voted for H.R. 6304.
Last week People For the American Way, the ACLU, MoveOn.org and other progressive allies delivered over 250,000 petition signatures to all 100 Senate offices urging senators not to grant immunity to telecoms that aided the White House’s warrantless wiretapping program.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. "truth commission" should investigate Bush administration policies including the promotion of war in Iraq, detainee treatment and wiretapping without a warrant, an influential senator proposed on Monday.

Macedonians protest against police brutality and government murder cover-up of a young boy in 2011 after Zoran Zaev, leader of opposition, released the phone calls between government officials that are part of the huge wiretapping scandal.
The fine print reads Your conversation is being monitored by the US Government courtesy of the US Patriot Act of 2001, section 216 of which permits all calls to be recorded without warrant or notification.
... but isn't this illegal under the 4th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America? Or did someone change the name and we're now called Amerika?
Just asking.
Zandar pulls out a device from his pocket and flips it open!
Ripper: 'Oi! What the flippin' heck is that?'
Zandar: 'It's a phone!'
Ripper: 'It's a phone?'
Ripper stands, clearly confused and trying to figure out the joke...
Ripper: 'Cor, I don't get it.'
Roadpig comes forward.
Roadpig: 'It is a mobile phone, you imbecilic troglodyte. A cellular phone, if you will.'
Ripper: 'It's got no wires!'
Tired of his cohort's stupidity, Buzzer pushes past Ripper.
Buzzer: 'Shut up, mate.'
Buzzer studies the phone in Zandar's hand.
Buzzer: 'That's no normal phone, is it?'
Zandar: 'No, it isn't. It is, and always has been, my lifeline.'
Ripper: 'Oi! Lifeline is a bleedin' Joe!'
Even more tired than Buzzer of Ripper's stupidity, Roadpig finds the answer to Ripper's constant interruptions; a cinder block to the face. Ripper falls to the ground unconscious.
Zandar: 'To see the things that I have seen over the past day, Dreadnoks... it would be criminal had I not recorded it. This is WiretapV20 and I have had him with me the entire time. I am sending Megatron all the information he needs.'
Gnawgahyde: 'Information about what?'
Zandar: 'The TARDIS!'
From bootlegging across state lines, the establishment of the FBI, wiretaps and Tommy guns, Vegas gambling, to Tony Soprano, America's fascination with gangsters has been strong for decades. This museum is really well done, and I recommend to anyone!

BY THE WAY, "Little brother" by Cory Doctorow is one of my fave books. 8D Here's a quote from it:
“I'm 17 years old. I'm not a straight-A student or anything. Even so, I figured out how to make an Internet that they can't wiretap. I figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. I can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. I could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. I figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. If I can do it, terrorists can do it. They told us they took away our freedom to make us safe. Do you feel safe?”
