The Justice Department calls them “Black Hats.” But today’s guest, Nancy Norelli, attorney for FreeAnons shows how Barrett Brown, Jeremy Hammond and Aaron Schwartz (dead by suicide) are on the front lines of a war to control information. Each faced criminal prosecution for infiltrating private intelligence firms sanctioned by the U>S government, and exposing Cointelpro operations against legitimate political activists, tied to the Occupy Movement, environmental actions in Bhopal, even antiwar activists opposing US military operations in Syria. The rest of us owe them a debt of gratitude for casting light into dark corners, and showing us how government is really operating.
