Do we have one of these yet?

Anyhoo, I'm really into them at the moment. I just watched this one:

You are speaking my (slightly conspiracy theory nutjob) language, I'd already bookmarked two of the Alex Winter ones, now I have to watch em.

They were all very good.

I'd say Citizenfour was the most interesting, but I was a CT in the Navy, so am probably a bit biased. I've already gotten hold of Laura Poitras' other work, after watching that one.

Great idea for a thread.

Just watched it. Found it mindblowing not for all the NSA stuff, but for the obvious personal sacrifice Snowden made.

Yeah, don't think I'd have been able to make such sacrifices in his spot.

Basically ended his life, as he knew it, and now has to live in exile.

Game theory, machinations of capitalism, illusions of freedom?  Yes please

Adam curtis, the trap.

His freedom of nightmares series was similarly thought provoking

I keep reading this thread title as 'The Official Documents Thread'

So just to satisfy my own stupidity here's a document on 'Cryptographic Security Characteristics of 802.11 Wireless LAN Access Systems'. I'm sure you'll all agree that it's riveting.

Looking forward to the Official Porn Thread.

Looking forward to the Official Porn Thread.

Surely EvilPie and/or Amatay have started one already?

[DaveShoelace]

Watched this last night:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism:_A_Love_Story

I've always thought the USA was both the greatest and the worst place in the world, this doc has swung me more towards it being a terrible place to live if you are not wealthy. Some truly horrifying examples of corporate greed and a great overview of the banking crisis (Although has to be said, quite a lot of cherry picking and straw manning from Michael Moore).

[DaveShoelace]

Also this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gashole

This one is a little bit more tin foil hat, but I still believe it. It's about how the oil companies have tried aggressively to prevent improvements to fuel consumption in cars and cars running on alternative fuel sources.
