The Internet allowed protesters to communicate after the Iranian government effectively took control of the mass media. Deep packet inspection technology also allowed the Iranian government to monitor protesters emails and help identify those who were communicating via the Internet and what they were saying. The monitoring technology was supplied by western companies – who also supplied the same technologies to western governments, including the U.S., who are using it in much the same way the Iranian government is. Interestingly, the language we use to describe that activity is quite different depending on who is doing the monitoring. archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/voices/weekend-voices-102508 http://archives.weru.org/voices/weekend-voices-102508#comments Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:00:21 +0000 Community Radio WERU FM http://shows.weru.org/archives/?p=1784 http://archives.weru.org/voices/weekend-voices-102508/feed 0 0:55:15 Producer/Host: Amy Browne Contributor: Carolyn Coe Topics: Segment 1:  Helen Lindsay, a part-time Mainer, talks about her recent trip to Iran with the “Fellowship for Reconciliation”.  Produced by Carolyn Coe.  FMI: www.forusa.org Segmen[...] Producer/Host: Amy Browne Contributor: Carolyn Coe Topics: Segment 1:  Helen Lindsay, a part-time Mainer, talks about her recent trip to Iran with the “Fellowship for Reconciliation”.  Produced by Carolyn Coe.  FMI: www.forusa.org Segment 2: We talk with Brent Hall of the Brewer-based group “Food & Medicine”, about the events they have scheduled for this evening: Their 2nd Annual Haunted House and Harvest Festival featuring “The Humble Farmer”, Robert Skoglund.  From 5- 6:30pm they will hold tours through “Maniac McSame’s Mansions of Mutation” where vile plans are being devised to steer America down the wrong course. “In each of his many mansions, McSame is committing crimes against healthcare, affordable housing, and worker rights, all the while mutating to look strangely like a prominent US political figure from Texas.”  Later there will be live guitar and mandolin from Orono duo Larry LeBlanc & Adria Elskus, fall children’s games (from MSEA-SEIU childcare workers), and local, seasonal, delicious food.  The guest speaker will be distinguished Maine humorist Robert Skoglund, “The Humble Farmer”. Skoglund is known throughout Maine and the US for his 29 years on public radio, his quick Maine humor, and hilarious “rants”.   All ages are welcome.  Admission is free, donations will be accepted to benefit laid-off workers through the Solidarity Harvest.   Location: 20 Ivers St., Brewer, ME  FMI:  207-989-5860 or www.foodandmedicine.org archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/voices/voices-61008 http://archives.weru.org/voices/voices-61008#comments Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:00:37 +0000 Community Radio WERU FM http://shows.weru.org/archives/?p=1495 http://archives.weru.org/voices/voices-61008/feed 0 0:27:17 Producer/Host: Amy Browne Topic: An interview with Dan Lourie of Bar Harbor, Maine—one of the members of the Mount Desert Island Peace and Justice community that successfully organized a town referendum opposing a U.S. war on Iran, unless expr[...] Producer/Host: Amy Browne Topic: An interview with Dan Lourie of Bar Harbor, Maine—one of the members of the Mount Desert Island Peace and Justice community that successfully organized a town referendum opposing a U.S. war on Iran, unless expressly approved by Congress.  The referendum passed at a recent town meeting.
