Episode #639: Massive Spying
First Broadcast: 6/17/13
After some speculation about how the Supreme Court might rule on gay marriage, we discuss the recent revelations of just how much the National Security Agency is spying on people in the United States, and anyone else who might happen to use the Internet. This is bad, for starters, because it puts our government's spying powers on par with those of the East German Stasi, something today's Germans are very able to recognize. The ACLU & NYCLU wasted no time in filing a lawsuit to stop this spying in its tracks. I can only hope that action isn't too little, too late.
So, what is Free New York anyway? The simple answer is that it's a
this neat little
public access TV show on
Manhattan Neighborhood Network which I co-produce with the
tremendous help of my camerawoman/editor/everything else,
Kim. The complicated answer
is that it's a project of mine to broadcast opinions and events which
don't always appear within "the mainstream media" (like The New York Times,
the major networks, local radio, etc.), and so far I think it's been working.
If you think I'm doing a good job--or not--and you feel
like sending me snail mail, the address is:
Free New York

Tompkins Square Station

You can also email me at fny@freenewyork.net, which should get to me a lot faster than the snail mail.
Check back later. I'm sure something will turn up.

Read all about my letter, which was published in the New York Press on July 9, 1997.
Here you can view an op-ed I sent to the New York Times, which they never printed. Maybe I'll add an even larger essay in the future.
