Storyline
The story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was Swartz's groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron's story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity. This film is a personal story about what we lose when we are tone deaf about technology and its relationship to our civil liberties.

Labels , , Source: redicecreations.com

 

October 27, 2014–Dave Dortch, an optometrist and his wife Kim, a nurse and nutritional therapy practitioner tell their story of ongoing police harassment after their 12 year old son was arrested and charged for graffiti vandalism in Riverside County. After the night their 12 year old son was arrested and interrogated without his parents or an attorney present, he confessed.

The Dortch’s tell what happened when an armed SWAT team appeared the next day at their house, demanding to search the house without a warrant. Dave talks about being handcuffed in the back yard while cops played pool in their house and ate at their kitchen table. They even rummaged through his wife’s lingerie door. We’ll hear how their son was arrested multiple times, once from school in ankle shackles and taken to juvenile jail where he was forced to experience inappropriate conditions.

Dave shares what happened when the cops changed their focus onto him, questioning him about herbs found in his house. This led to a huge task force searching the Dortch’s house in hazmat suits making accusations that the Dortch’s were running a meth lab in their house. Dave was arrested without any charges. They’ll talk about the cops seizing their computers, being followed and intimidated. Kim talks about her fight against the city over her son and she tells of the outrageous court proceedings. -redicecreations.com

Zen Gardner is back with us for another visit, a check-up, from the neck up, as well as taking our heart temperature. He’s a deep thinker and his thoughtful articles are aggregated all around the net because he is WIDE AWAKE and delivers from the Heart.

I’ve recently become aware of a relatively new term being bantered about on talk radio. The term is “Fear Porn.” And a lot of people LOVE IT. But I promise you that it leads to burnout. So if you’ve taken The Red Pill, to use a movie metaphor, do you ever have times when you REALLY WISH YOU HADN’T?

But you did, now what? How do you walk the edge, not fall, and get sliced in half? How do you maintain your balance so that you are AWAKE and AWARE, and at the same time not get consumed by the hot fires?

Well, one place to start is from a quiet mind and an open heart. BOTH are needed. I have my unique ways that are suited for me, and Zen Gardner is with us to share how he keeps it together in this insane world. -FarOutRadio.com
