- Craving BBQ?FM10012VIPDined on 11/20/2014Virgil's is one of my favorite spots for BBQ. I am a New Yorker who dislikes voyages to Times Square but Virgil's is worth it. The brisket and pulled pork are stars here. Ample portions, always perfectly cooked and served with minimal waiting. On the weekends it is a crazy place but careful planning on weekdays is rewarded with civil crowds and waitstaff that are not frenzied. Friendly experienced waitstaff refill soda without asking and are attentive without hovering. My pulled pork was great, pickled beets were so good, and the corn bread fine. The BBQ beans I ordered was the only disappointment. The small side dish was mostly sauce, few beans and many bits of meat. My friends brisket was awesome, French fries were crispy and the collard greens cooked well with a hint of vinegar. Every time I leave Virgil's I am happy, full, and looking forward to the next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best mac and cheese, brisket ... and fries!! tastybonbonDined on 11/19/2014best mac and cheese and brisket, greasy fries, but deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A New York Staple for Me.RalphDined on 11/15/2014I have eaten at Virgil's many times since it was introduced to me on a trip into the city (I live a few states away and go in to see shows occasionally.) I have taken just about everyone who has gone into New York City with me to Virgil's. ...and I will go again. I can't give it much more praise than that. I enjoy the food, the prices are reasonable for being so close to Time's Square...and the amount of food you get is delightful (bordering on too much.) The variety in the menu is fitting and always offers plenty of options for groups. It gets busy and that's my biggest complaint. Sometimes it feels like we're being rushed, but with food like they offer, that's to be expected. It's a bulk business.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disabled not welcome here!DisabledMomDined on 11/15/2014The one and only drawback to this restaurant is a serious one. It is NOT handicapped accessible. I arrived with my party of 7 and was told all tables were on the second floor. I use a cane. It is agony and unsafe for me to use stairs but I had no choice at that point. I had a blind and physically limited child who also really struggled with the stairs. I would caution anyone not to use this place unless your party contained no folks with a disability. It is a shame!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist TrapParisgDined on 11/14/2014Because the place is Always packed, you never get Great customer service here
- So. Much. Food.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014Amazing food but massive quantities! We came as a party of two but wished we had invited some friends; we didn't even come close to finishing our meals, despite the amazing quality. Loved the pulled pork and combo sandwiches, the hush puppies with maple butter, and the hard cider float was to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservations, Food, Atmosphere, ServiceDebJDined on 11/14/2014Made a reservation through Open Table and when we checked in our table was ready in 5 minutes! The food was fantastic, service was great and the atmosphere was fun! Would visit this restaurant every time in NYC.Special Features:
- Good bbq for NYCOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/14/2014Bbq tasted fresh for NYC. Often times "bbq" is really just warmed up meat with sauce added. Not here. You can tell it was smoked and not overheated. Meat was better than the sides. Wings were awesome. Is right in Times Square which is definitely evident in the prices.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BBQ in Times Square?PosterDined on 11/11/2014Virgil's is great place for southern BBQ! Fun atmosphere, great food and good service at reasonable prices. I make it a point to go here every time I am in NYC. The KC fried chicken was delicious as was the brisket my wife ordered. Baked beans are probably the best I have had and the mac n chees is wonderful! If your a BBQ nut like me, don't miss this this one!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really tastey BBQJustDeeDined on 11/11/2014I was expecting small portions and high prices but boy was I wrong. The BBQ had a nice smokey flavor, the ribs were meaty, the brisket was plenty. We had a reservation for 4 people and were quickly seated when we arrived. We all left stuffed. Just a note, the noice level was moderate, for some reason the field wasn't working on the survey form.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, good pricesmike54Dined on 11/11/2014We go to Virgils a few times a year while we are going to shows in Manhattan. If you want good food at reasonable prices, Virgils is the place to go. In addition they have fast service in case you need to get to a show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ribs ribs ribsunclejackssteakhouse2013Dined on 11/11/2014I am a regular at Virgils. The service was good and the food was flavorful and plentiful. The only problem was the ribs were very tough. Usually they are perfect.Special Features:

- Great experience in New York City!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014We enjoyed the fun atmosphere. The food was delicious- great wings and ribs! Plenty of food. Warm cloths for messy cleanup after enjoying our rins and wings! Wait staff was accommodating and friendly. Felt a little rushd out so they could get more people in to dine. Otherwise, definitely would recommend to others visiting New York City! Children's menu available. Suggest reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/7/2014This restaurant is in time square and The food was great. The service was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservation problemsNYorker99Dined on 11/7/2014Made a reservation for 6.30 pm. It was extremely crowded, and table was not available until 7.17 pm. We had theater tickets for 8.00 pm, so we had to just eat at the bar. Luckily, the bar staff was very friendly and accommodating.Special Features:
- solid, but not specatcular, BBQctowner1VIPDined on 11/7/2014decent food - pretty large (and expensive) lunch portion - baby back ribs. But they were tasty.Special Features:
- DoradoDined on 11/6/2014good for groups. Serving size huge. Too much for people coming from Europe. Quality very good . The hamburger delicious.Special Features:
- Consistency Over The YearsFtWorthVirgilsFanDined on 11/5/2014I've been going to NYC and Virgil's for years, and each time it's so consistently delicious. Turned on to Virgil's by a good friend here in Texas, this was my daughter's first time to experience all that Virgil's has to offer. She had heard me talk about it before, but now she's a true believer!Special Features:
- pre theatrenanabananaDined on 11/5/2014great inexpensive place to go before theatre. The only problem is the portions are so big you will be taking a doggie bag to your show.Special Features:
- amazing BBQOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/5/2014after all these years and all the other "trendy" bbq joints, Virgils still delivers and is still AMAZING !!!!!!!!!! :) best biscuits everSpecial Features:

- nice and fastOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/1/2014We visited this restaurant for a first time more than 10 years ago and always coming back here each time when visiting NYC.Special Features:
- VirgilRosaVIPDined on 11/1/2014While this is one of the better places to eat in the Broadway area, the food is always lukewarm - not sure whether this is a kitchen problem or a service problem, but it makes what could be very good, fresh food into mediocre dishes and sides.
- Never again....LoveTheBeachVIPDined on 11/1/2014Ate with my family before a show. The food was beyond awful. Some of us ordered fried catfish which we love. It was watery, soggy and looked undercooked. Inedible. We sent it back and got salads which were ok. The sides looked and tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Our server was good and pretty helpful except he never told us there were any specials. We noticed them on the chalkboard on the way out. Too many places to eat in the city that are better than this. I would really stay away. Not worth it.
- I Had a Good TimeKevinReviewsDined on 11/1/2014I went to Virgil's because my mother wanted to take me out for my birthday so I didn't expect much. Honestly the service was outstanding and even though the food was mainly barbecue it tasted a bit spicy. The food was still really good and the service was amazing, I really enjoyed my time at Virgil's.Special Features:
- AndonaDined on 10/29/2014I had a great time with my friends! I specifically love the cornbread and the BBQ Shrimps...I recommend it to everyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wow"!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/25/2014Great food lots of it. So much food most people take most of their plate home. Bad idea if your off to the theatre. It's the middle of the theatre district. Your seat mates may not want to smell BBQ although the lion king. What happened to the wine list? It's just beer and jug wine now. Still the food is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good BBQseafoodfanDined on 10/25/2014Good place for BBQ in NYC. the brisket was tasty and the pork was juicy. Definitely worth a return visit.Special Features:
- Great locationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014I am from the South, now living in CT, so when I was planning my day excursion in NYC and saw Virgil's BBQ it was a no-brainer...I had to try it. Location Location Location, visible from Time Square. Bar and overall atmosphere was great. Hush Puppies....GET THEM! I got a three meat sampler plate. Price was decent. Overall the food was OK, meat was a little dry. Would try a different place next visit.Special Features:
- Not Quite Up to ParBBQLoverDined on 10/24/2014Virgil's is one of the places I make it a point to try and visit when I am in NYC. In this case, we were there within 2 hours of arriving in town. Unfortunately, the meal was a little disappointing. While my wife's hamburger was excellent, my brisket sandwich was a major letdown. In contrast to prior visits, the meat was dry and overcooked. The only thing that salvaged the visit for me was dessert. As usual, the banana pudding was perfect, down to the last spoonful. The service was pretty good, though drink refills can sometimes be a longer wait than I would like. Overall, I will put this visit down as an anomaly and I will give them another chance next time I am in town.Special Features:
- always fantasticEmanueleSassettiDined on 10/23/2014Simply the right place in ny, where bbq is good and at good price. Enjoy!.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Banana pudding and Key lime pie are great too! Virgil's is a great choice when you are in the theater district.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great casual b b qRdr525VIPDined on 10/22/2014Have eaten here before. This time it was not as busy, maybe because it was only 4:30. Upper levelwas not opened yet, so we sat main level.

Not you again, I thought you died
I thought you were killed on your wedding night
Not you again, hypocrite
You've come to ask me to kill you again, is that it?
Not you again, I'm no fool twice
I've heard the wolf tracking in the ice
Peel off the latex, fair-weather friend
Is that supposed to be a nose? No, not you again
Oh, Mary
Don't weep down on me
"I don't need a host to live"
Oh, Mary
I'm just too much to carry
Not you again, my grandmother's Lord
Another friend like that, I can't afford
California makes me sick
Like trying with a rattlesnake your teeth to pick
Everyone I know gossips endlessly
Everyone I know suffers just like me
Have you come back for your saddle, to squat like a hen?
Why are you even here? No, not you again
Oh, Mary
Don't weep down on me
"I don't need a host to live"
Oh, Mary
I'm just too much to carry
The wind knocked down the chicken coop
The cat left a rat's carcass on my front stoop
Once again, I've been seduced
Now it looks like my chickens have come home to roost

Late Night Snacks: Syracuse survives on a quiet night
Nov 19, 2013, 12:30 AM EST
GAME OF THE DAY: Syracuse escaped with a 56-50 win over St. Francis (NY) as they scored the go-ahead bucket in the final minute thanks to Michael Gbinije. The No. 9 team in the country moved to 4-0 as they prepare for the Maui Invitational. Our Rob Dauster took a longer look on the game here.
1. No. 6 Duke 91, UNC Asheville 55: Jabari Parker became the first Duke freshman to score 20 points in his first for games, finishing with 21 points and 10 boards.
2. No. 16 Florida 67, Southern 53: The No. 16 Gators lost Kasey Hill to an ankle injury but held on to win at home. They'll be without a point guard in the near future.
3. Providence 70, Vermont 49: The final score wasn't as important as who showed up in the box score: Kris Dunn. He only played 21 minutes coming off the bench, but he finished with eight assists and three steals. Dunn adds another dimension to the Friar attack and allows Bryce Cotton to spend more time playing off the ball.
1. Keith Appling: Appling went for 25 points and seven assists as No. 1 Michigan State beat Portland 82-67, but the Spartans needed every bit of that performance from him. Portland was down one midway through the second half, a game after MSU barely hung on to beat Columbia.
2. Nick Johnson and Gabe York: The question mark with Arizona this season: outside shooting. York and Johnson tonight: 36 points, 13-for-18 from the floor, 7-for-10 from three.
3. R.J. Hunter, Ryan Harrow and Devonta White: Georgia State's three-headed back court combined for 48 points and 11 assists in a win over McNeese State. They'll get Alabama tomorrow with a chance to play in Madison Square Garden on the line.
1. C.J. Fair: Seven points on 2-for-13 shooting on a night when Syracuse needed someone to step up? Not a good sign.
2. Rhode Island: The Rams trailed Division II Metro State 40-30 at halftime of the Preseason NIT opener before rallying for a 66-63 win.
3. UCLA's crowd: That's not a lot of people:
- The best win of the night may belong to Southern Miss, who went into Fargo and knocked off North Dakota State.
- Virginia Tech junior forward C.J. Barksdale and is back from suspension and scored 16 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 105-92 win over VMI.
- Wally Judge and Kadeem Jack each had double-doubles in Rutgers win over Canisius.
- SMU struggled to defend the three-point line as they allowed a mediocre shooting Arkansas team to go 11-for-22 from behind the three-point line in a 89-78 road loss.
- Tennessee got 20 points from Jordan McRae in a win over The Citadel.
- All the good that the Mercer did by knocking off Seton Hall on Saturday was erased when they lost at Evansville on Monday.
- Cal cruised past Southern Utah 75-47, with Tyrone Wallace going for 15 points.

Lithuania considers ban on "propagation of homosexuality"

Have these backwars EU countries learned nothing? Section 28 was a total and dismal failure and as far as I'm aware didn't attract a single prosecution. So why, Oh why do these silly little homophobic ex-communist countries still persist with such laws?Also, do they really believe that somehow Gay people are so powerful that they can suddenly turn their whole populations off marriage and into a nation of screaming queens?! Of course not.All this smacks of scape goating, a polical tool used for centuries. The Nazis used it to demonise the Jews and Lithuania and their ilk are merely repeating the tactic. Pathetic.
The Polish, the Lithuanians, the Latvians… bless their little homophobic governments, these backwater countries are still living in the old USSR.Why did we let them into the EU again? They need another 50 years to civilise and get on par with the rest of Europe before we let them in to the EU…
it is really really sad to see how morally backward some of the former east european countries are, but what i find sadder is how little the EU does to penalise them for their over homophobia. Any EU country which seeks to implement this sort of legislation should be suspended from the EU, or atleast have their development grants frozen…that would put the lid on this sort of nonsense. Countries like poland lithuania latvia estonia etc need to learn that the EU is a 2 way street. If they want the trade and the visa free travel and the Billions of Euros of develoment aid, which our taxes pay for, they toe the line with regards to equality and Human rights legislation. But the EU has to do more to make them. That's way all the cynics who say that it was the EU that forced the UK government to implement equality legislation are WRONG. Unfortunately the EU doesn't FORCE member states, in these cases it should
Andy, you're absolutely right about the EU. No country should be permitted to join if its not prepared to abide by the rule, regulations and conditions affecting all member states. I'd expel Poland, Russia and all the other eastern european primtive societies and I'd certainly bar Turkey from joining too with its new islamic leader in power.You can be if Poland, Russia and their ilk were discriminating against Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Christians there would be a totally different response from the EU and elsewhere. Lets make no mistake, homophobia is pandemic in even the western EU states. There should be one set of rules/laws across the board on equality, full marriage equality and nondiscrimination in the delivery of goods and services, without exception. Robert, ex-pat Brit.

Customer Reviews
October 2014
The city portion of the tour was informative, but we wouldn't be too keen on wandering the city on our own as Naples seems dirty and crowded. But having said that, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we did stop and see a couple of very nice churches. The Pompeii trip was the highlight of this tour!! We had ample time in the city and our guide was very good at explaining the history of the city. We highly recommend seeing Pompeii!
August 2014
Naples was a good introduction, and Pompeii was excellent in learning about what happened and seeing the ruins.

Here is my recent interview on RT discussing the UK listening post, GCHQ, its prostitution to America's NSA, and the failure of oversight:
Here is my recent interview with British MP George Galloway on his RT show, "Sputnik".
Here's my interview from yesterday on RT's excellent Breaking the Set show with host, Abby Martin. We discussed all things spy, surveillance, Snowden, oversight, and privacy. A fun and lively interview! Thanks, Abby.
As a second German intelligence officer was arrested for spying for the Americans, here's my recent RT interview on the subject, plus much more:
With thanks to Free Press Unlimited, the Dutch Advice Centre for Whisteblowers, Network Democracy, and the Whistleblowing International Network.
All these organisations came together to hold an international conference in support of whistleblowers on 18th June in Amsterdam.
It was a creative event, mixing up lawyers, journalists, technologists and whistleblower support networks from around the world at an event with speeches and workshops, in order for everyone to learn, share experiences, and develop new methodologies and best practice to help current and future whistleblowers.
A stimulating and productive day, at which I did the opening keynote:
Here is an interview I did on 5th June, the anniversary of the start of Edward Snowden's disclosures about the global surveillance infrastructure that is being built.
RT interview on Snowden & digital privacy from Annie Machon on Vimeo.
This week Transmediale.de organised a Magical Secrecy Tour around Berlin to mark the anniversary of Edward Snowden's world-changing disclosures.
And what better place to hold such a tour? Berlin has long been the playground for international spies, fighting the old Cold War in the dirty dark. It also still bears the scars of two totalitarian regimes run out of control — the brute force of the Nazis and the insidious surveillance of the Stasi during the years of the DDR in East Germany.
It is a city that is a living museum, and the tour took us around some key points, including the old Stasi HQ — now a museum — the new billion euro BND mega-complex, the Spy Bridge, and the Spy Hill. It was a stark lesson from history about what spies could do, should do, and are now doing in the modern day.
Here's an interview:
Berlin Magical Secrecy Tour from Annie Machon on Vimeo.
With huge thanks to Kristoffer and the rest of the Transmediale team for an interesting day.
First published on RT OP-Edge. Also on Consortium News, Huffington Post, and the Sam Adams Award website.
A year ago I stumbled across a story about a worrying new surveillance programme developed by the NSA: Prism. While nobody was identified as the source of the disclosure, I was awestruck by the bravery of this unknown person.
At that time the Obama administration had been waging an aggressive war on whistleblowers: ex-CIA officer, John Kiriakou, who exposed the CIA's torture programme, was languishing in prison while the torturers went free; Kirk Wiebe, William Binney and Thomas Drake of the NSA had narrowly escaped prosecution for exposing NSA malfeasance — indeed, despite having gone through all the approved channels, Drake had faced a 35-year prison sentence; and of course the kangaroo court had just started to try Chelsea Manning for her exposure of US war crimes. Inevitably, it is the whistleblower Manning who is now serving a 35 year stretch in prison, not the war criminals.
President Obama has used and abused the 1917 US Espionage Act against whistleblowers during his years in the White House more times than all his predecessors put together, while at the same time allowing a bone fide spy ring — the Russian illegals exposed in 2010 — to return home. This paranoid hunt for the "insider threat" has been going on since at least 2008, as we know from documents leaked to Wikileaks in 2010.
Against this background, fully aware of the hideous risks he was taking and the prospect of the rest of his life behind bars, a young man stepped forward. Four days after the initial Prism disclosure, Edward Snowden announced to the world that he was the source of the story and many more to come. He was clear then about his motivation and he remains clear now in the few interviews he has done since: what he had seen on the inside of the NSA caused him huge concern. The American intelligence infrastructure, along with its equivalent agencies across the world, was constructing a global surveillance network that not only threatened the constitution of the United States, but also eroded the privacy of all the world's citizens.
The global surveillance state wanted to "master the internet", as another disclosure proved, and the UK's GCHQ stepped up to the plate. As increasing numbers of us conduct aspects of our lives over the internet (be it banking, health, social lives, organisations, activism, relationships) this growing lack of privacy strikes at the very root of democracy. Privacy was enshrined as a basic human right in the UN Declaration in 1948 precisely because without it we are vulnerable to the encroachments and abuses of the state. What Snowden has disclosed would the the Stasi's wet dream and goes far beyond the dystopic horrors of George Orwell's novel "1984".
So what did Snowden disclose? Prism was only the start, and that was bad enough — a programme to scoop up all our metadata: whom we're in contact with, for how long, what we're reading, what we're viewing. NSA apologists say that this is not invasive, it is not looking at the contents of communications. I can assure your that metadata is intelligence gold dust. It can provide a far more detailed overview of a person's life than any individual communication often can.
But it gets worse. Then came Tempora and associated documents that disclosed that the UK's GCHQ was mainlining information from the transatlantic fibre optic cables, which affected all European citizens, as well as displaying how GCHQ was prostituting itself to the NSA for money and putting NSA objectives above the priorities of the UK government.
And then XKeyscore, enthusiastically used by Germany's BND, presumably without the knowledge of its political masters. There have been many more: Brazil's Petrobras oil company, the French telephone network, charities, the Muscular access point and the massive Fascia database, which contains trillions of device-location records.…. Where to stop?
This year Britain's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group was using Squeaky Dolphin's real-time monitoring of social media networks, and the bulk collection of private webcam images via the Optic Nerve programme.
This last most grimly does away with the "done nothing wrong, nothing to hide" argument. In this era of families living in different countries and long distance relationships, video skype is increasingly used to stay in contact with loved ones. And this contact can be somewhat intimate at times between couples. On video. Anyone who has ever used skype for such purposes must surely be feeling violated?
Out of this morass of spying came moments of personal annoyance for western politicians, not least the information that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone was also being tapped, as were those of numerous other politicians. Which rather blows out of the water the much-abused argument that all this surveillance is to stop terrorists. On what planet would the NSA spooks need to live to seriously think that Merkel could be deemed a terrorist?
All these disclosures are of the gravest public interest. Yet how have western politicians reacted? In the usual way — shoot the messenger. All the standard li(n)es have been trotted out by the spies: Snowden was too junior to know what he is talking about, and was "just" a contracted systems administrator (this line says more the ignorance of the politicians about all things tech than anything about Snowden's job); that Snowden is a traitor for fleeing to Russia, when in fact he was trapped there by the USA withdrawing his passport while in transit to Latin America; or that he should "man up" and return to the US to stand trial. There were even apparently calls from the spies for him to be extrajudicially murdered.
Despite this, his disclosures have resulted in congressional hearings in the US, where senior spooks have been caught out lying about the efficacy of these spy programmes. A US federal judge has declared the NSA's activities unconstitutional, and minor reforms are underway to protect the rights of US citizens within their own country.
Which is a start. However, that still leaves the rest of us living under the baleful gaze of the NSA and its vassals.
The British response has been largely muted, with politicians immediately assuring the grateful citizens of the UK that everything done by the spies is legal and proportionate, when in fact it was manifestly not. Nor is this any consolation for the rest of Europe's citizens — after all, why should the British Foreign Secretary be able to take it upon himself to authorise intercept programmes such as Tempora that sweep up the communications of an entire continent?
Press discussion of Snowden's disclosures in the UK has been largely muted because of a censorship notice slapped on the media, while the Guardian newspaper that helped to break the story had its hard disks smashed up by GCHQ.
Other countries have displayed a more robust response, with Brazil planning to build its own transatlantic cables to Europe to avoid the Tempora programme, and in Germany people have been demanding that the constitution be upheld and privacy ensured against the American surveillance behemoth.
The European parliamentary Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) committee has held months-long hearings with evidence from tech experts, whistleblowers and campaigners about what it should do to protect EU citizens from the predations of the US. Edward Snowden himself gave a statement. This is all well and good, but it would be more helpful if they could give Snowden asylum in Europe and also put in place some meaningful measures to protect our rights one year on — in fact, all they would need to do is enact the provisions of the European parliament's own July 2001 report into the Echelon fiasco.
Echelon, some of you may remember, was a global proto-surveillance network, where the intelligence agencies of the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada (now called Five Eyes) could all share product and subvert oversight measures in each others' countries. In 2001 the EU recommended that Europe develop its own internet infrastructure and move away from its dependency on US corporate proprietary software. All good suggestions, but all too soon forgotten after 9/11 and the rush to the "war on terror".
One year on from Snowden I would suggest that these measures should indeed be implemented. The European Parliament needs to take action now and show its 500 million citizens that it is serious about protecting their rights rather than pandering to the demands of the US government and its corporate sponsors.
So, on this anniversary, I want to salute the bravery of Edward Snowden. His conscious courage has given us all a fighting chance against a corporate-industrial-intelligence complex that is running amok across the world. I hope that we can all find within us an answering courage to do what is right and indeed take back our rights. His bravery and sacrifice must not be in vain.
Half a year ago I was asked be the director of a new foundation that would raise funds to cover the legal costs of high-profile whistleblowers, journalist sources and associated cases. Five months ago I announced the launch of the Courage Foundation to an audience of 6,000 at the CCC hackerfest in Hamburg:
This week I have resigned my position from the Courage Foundation.
Firstly, I find the current evolution of Courage incompatible with the way I work.
Secondly, I have so many other calls on my time, travelling constantly across Europe to speak at conferences around issues such as whistleblowers, the media, technology, surveillance, privacy, drug policy, human rights.… where to stop.
I wish the organisation all the best for the future. It is doing important work.
I shall also continue to speak out in support of whistleblowers and associated issues — how could I not?
Here is a panel discussion I did at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, in May 2014:
The 27th European Media Art Festival began this evening in Osnabrueck, Germany. In the wake of all the global intelligence whistleblowing that has gone on over the last few years, the theme for the artists of 2014 is "We, the Enemy".
Do visit if you can — a lot of interesting and political art installations are on display, as well as films, music, and talks. I shall be doing a talk on speaking on Friday afternoon.
I had the pleasure of making a short speech at the opening ceremony this evening, and did an interview for national German TV channel ARD last night to publicise the festival.

I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a debate at the Oxford Union Society. I spoke to the proposition that "this house believes Edward Snowden is a hero", along with US journalist Chris Hedges, NSA whistleblower Bill Binney, and former UK government minister Chris Huhne.
The chamber was full and I am happy to report that we won the debate by 212 votes to 171, and that Oxford students do indeed see Edward Snowden as a hero. Here is my speech:
Last month I was on a panel discussion at the Berlin Transmediale conference with NSA whistleblower Bill Binney, Chelsea Manning rapporteur Alexa O'Brian, and activist Diani Barreto. Here is the link to the full two hour event, and here is my speech:
The Whistler, the new whistleblower support network in the UK, recently held an international pre-launch in London.
The Whistler has been set up by Gavin MacFadyen, Director of the Centre for Investigative Journalism and Eileen Chubb of Compassion in Care.
Both, through their work, realise the heavy price that all whistleblowers from every sector have to pay, not just professionally, but also socially, psychologically and also potentially legally. And they want to help.
The organisation took the opportunity to host an event with a number of US intelligence whistleblowers from the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence who were in the country to present (sadly and inevitably in absentia) the 2014 Sam Adams Award to Chelsea Manning at a ceremony at the Oxford Union Society last week.
Here is the full video of The Whistler event:

Distillation unit in Amuay refinery is shut down after a fire
The first crude oil distillation unit of Amuay refinery, located in Paraguaná Refining Complex, produces gas oil and has a refining capacity of 72,000 barrels per day
The first crude oil distillation unit of Amuay refinery, located in Paraguaná Refining Complex and owned by state-run oil holding Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa), was shut down on Friday morning after a fire broke out at the plant. The oil flow line was broken, according to workers at the plant.
The unit has a refining capacity of 72,000 barrels per day and produces gas oil and feeds other Amuay units such as delayed coking, flexicoker, and the catalytic plant (to produce high octane fuel). The plant will be out of service until an investigation committee determines the cause of the fire.
The fire started at 6:50 am. No injuries were reported according to Pdvsa's workers. At that time, there were only a few workers at the facility.

US: Textile and apparel imports rise in December
By Leonie Barrie | 11 February 2013
Textile and apparel imports into the US rose 6.7% in December as retailers ramped up deliveries for the all-important holiday season.
Official figures released on Friday (8 February) by the Department of Commerce's Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA), showed total textile and apparel imports climbed to 4.04bn square metre equivalents (SME) during the month, compared with a year earlier.
Gains were seen in both textiles and apparel, with total textile imports up 2.08% to 2.25bn SME.
In terms of apparel, total imports during the month saw a year-on-year increase of 13.23% to 1.785bn SME - although this was below the 1.796bn SME imported in November.
When it comes to specific sources China is by far and away the top textile and apparel supplier to the US, accounting for more than six times the imports of its closest rival Vietnam.
Year-on-year growth in December saw total imports from China rise 4.50% to 1.88bn SME, followed by Vietnam (+16.15% to 274m SME), India (+2.65% to 238m SME), Pakistan (-6.99% to 164m SME), Mexico (-4.71% to 157m SME), Bangladesh (+14.82% to 110m SME), Indonesia (+11.24% to 137m SME), South Korea (-5.52% to 97m SME), Canada (-14.40% to 73m SME) and Honduras (+17.87% to 95m SME).
In terms of apparel sources, double-digit gains were seen by seven of the top ten supply countries, with just Mexico (-6.8% to 59m SME) and Pakistan (-6.45% to 37m SME) posting declines during the month.
China's apparel shipments to the US rose 11.67% year-on-year in December to 729m SME, followed by Vietnam (+27.99% to 174m SME), Bangladesh (+13.41% to 99m SME), Indonesia (+10.39% to 100m SME), Honduras (+17.47% to 92m SME), Cambodia (+6.06% to 80m SME), India (+11.43% to 54m SME), El Salvador (+18.50% to 68m SME).
For 2012 as a whole, imports edged up 0.7% to $54.0bn SME - with textile imports edging up 1.8% to 30.4bn SME but apparel imports slipping 0.8% to 23.7bn SME.

"Why not use a British Narrator?"
I am British and I find the reading of this great book very irritating. The narrator is clearly American as her British accent keeps slipping, and her attempts at regional accents are terrible - the Scottish being particularly cringe worthy. She has a lovely voice and makes a brave attempt but on the whole Americans find British accents difficult so why not use a British narrator? I found myself waiting for all the slip-ups ('noospaper') rather than following the story.
"Started well but then got rather tedious"
I enjoyed this book at first because it was funny, although in a rather over the top way but about 2/3 of the way through I got really bored. It just dragged on and I couldn't see where it could go. I didn't manage to finish it.
"Enjoyable fluff"
I enjoyed this book but I had a problem with the voice the reader used for the hero - it made him sound stuffy and not at all sexy.
"Ropey Scottish accent but not too painful"
Being British, I downloaded this with trepidation. Usually, when an American narrator attempts a English, Scottish or Irish accent it ruins the story for me. In this case, the Scottish accent isn't particularly authentic but at least I could manage to suspend disbelief enough to listen.
"Enjoyable but some flaws"
I enjoyed this book but I'm not sure why it's necessary for the series to be set in the future. It would have worked the same being set in the present. The narration is good but I found the Irish accent jarring - it isn't very authentic.
I was looking forward to listening to this as I've read the book but it is ruined by Colin's appalling voice and accent. The narrator makes him sound like he's an 80 year old chinless aristocrat rather than a sexy man. Is this what Americans think the British sound like?
