I am looking for people to write a recipe for how to connect to the WiFi in a New York City subway station without running its nonfree Javascript code. The recipe could include a free Javascript program I could run, or it could consist of instructions for what I would type into IceCat (our variant of Firefox). It doesn't have't be super convenient, it just has to work.

Thugs in San Francisco maimed Stanislav Petrov, leaving him too injured to use his hands for work, then tried to cover up their crime by offering his belongings to homeless witnesses so they would keep silent about what they had seen.

Now the FBI is prosecuting Petrov and refuses to say what those charges are.

I have no way of knowing whether Petrov was guilty of some crime, but if so, it cannot justify acting like this.

Big US school districts hire cops rather than counselors.

Thailand has become a totally military state in which soldiers can arrest people anywhere. Their powers are almost arbitrary.

Please don't ignore this injustice by vacationing in Thailand. As for me, that dictatorship is so crazed that I would not risk going there at all.

Disabled and poor people in Britain, who can barely afford to eat, face jail because they are now required to pay as much as 10% of their income as local tax.

These vicious Tories don't really expect to get blood out of those stones (people), who already can barely survive. They want to reduce the expense those people cause and have found an excuse to drive many of them to death. Not quickly, but faster than they would have died while they could still afford food.

Instead of shame, the victims should feel hatred. They are martyrs and they should recognize the cause they are dying for: fighting the tyranny of the banksters.

If they have courage, they have a way to carry the fight to the enemy: they can dare the state to burn up more of its money by jailing them. Once in jail, they must thwart any state plan to extract money from them, such as by making them do work.
