Long Arundhati Roy speech on the world and the war (5 days ago).  It's nothing new, but one should expose one's self to the other side of the coin, especially those of us who've been oversaturated with local news on these subjects.

She offers some useful, revelant propositions at the end.  Ctrl-F to "What Is To Be Done?".  A snippet...

It would be naïve to imagine that we can directly confront Empire. Our strategy must be to isolate Empire's working parts and disable them one by one. No target is too small. No victory too insignificant. We could reverse the idea of the economic sanctions imposed on poor countries by Empire and its Allies. We could impose a regime of Peoples' Sanctions on every corporate house that has been awarded with a contract in postwar Iraq, just as activists in this country and around the world targeted institutions of apartheid. ... It would be a great beginning.

Also, another rehash on privacy/security today regarding automated pattern recognition.  Again, worth a read-through as a reminder.
