If and of you listen to our What Had Happened Was podcast, do you dig more the weird/strange/cool news angle, or the more conspiracy-tinged stuff? Or a good mix of both?

Hello everyone!We’re back with another episode of What Had Happened Was. Today’s episode is slightly different because grumpyhawk and I recorded live from his living room in Austin, TX, and instead of talking about our 5 or 6 favorite news stories we took a more broad approach and just talked about some of the overarching stories that have seemed to take over the news for the past couple weeks. So here it is, Episode 16 - Tinfoil.

Show Notes:

Due to the plethora of articles and news stories involving PRISM and Edward Snowden I’ve only included a few specific articles for your enjoyment.

Dear Don Mattrick, YOU ARE MISSING THE FUCKING POINT. No one is clambering for an “always on” device.Telling people who don’t want “always on” to just stick to the Xbox 360 is such a tone deaf response. You have created a platform that’s gives the publishers everything they want without considering the users. you can have internet connectivity without requiring it to ping your servers every 24 hours (or in some case, every hour). This is just you making publishers happy, regardless of the inconvenience to your user base.

“The president insists that no one is listening to our phone calls, but Snowden said he could. Of course, we now know that President George W. Bush lied us into the War in Iraq, and falsely denied authorized a massive program of warrantless wiretapping, then a felony under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The NSA and FBI both denied their illegal wiretapping and mail opening programs in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2004, the Justice Department assured the Supreme Court that our government did not torture people, just a few hours before the torture photos from Abu Ghraib were broadcast on national television. Why should we believe such people now?”

““If you can control [the internet], if you can start tweaking what people say, or intercepting communications, it’s very, very powerful…it’s the sort of power that if you give it to a corrupt government, you give them the ability to stay in power forever.””
