I have done quite a bit of public speaking on issues of privacy, some politics, and technology (mostly as it involves electronic civil liberties, privacy and the like). If it wasn't for a handful of site - my work would be rather difficult. I've always gotten a kick out of "The Smoking Gun", "F$Cked Company" and the like. Of Course there's The EFF, EPIC and Privacy.org - to name a few.
In that context - enter one of my absolute favorites - www.cryptome.org - been reading this site for a long time. Truly shows what independent individuals can do with this rich media (even though, we usually aren't classified as media, though our reporting tends to be more truth than the evening news). John Young, the guy that runs the site, came across some interesting info he just couldn't pass up. Those lovely "Top Secret" Homeland Security morning briefings (I wonder if these are what was included in the so calld "Threat Matrix").
I highly recommend you give them a read, they are truly interesting. The even have pictures. However, I also would advise you to make a copy of the page (I have it in pdf) just in case the site gets shut down - or the files are forced to be removed offline. They are a true eye opener - especially if you are at all like me and realize we have far too many issues on our own border.
The link to the page with the Homeland Security Operations Morning Brief is below:
Happy reading..... and remember to make them copies - if the info gets pulled of of Cryptome - we can always flood the internet with copies of the information.
