Challenging the Surveillance State

Andre Kuipers, space station astronaut, sends pictures to Earth via Twitter

The lights of London are captured by ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers, from his vantage point high above the Earth on board the International Space Station. He has been capturing jaw-dropping views since he arrived on the space station in December, and tweeting them to his followers from his Twitter profile, @astro_andre.

Pushing Citizens To Extremes

'As governments seem wholly unwilling to bring criminal bankers to justice, angry and frightened citizens look to more drastic measures. I wouldn’t actually recommend extreme revenge. It’s probably illegal to suggest such things.'
Mick Farren

♪♫ The Flaming Lips - You Lust (feat. Phantogram)

"You got a lot of nerve
A lot of nerve to fuck with me
Better kill your emperor
'Cause you know you're just like me
You lust
You lust
You lust

Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed

When you pull the switch on them
I don't really want to know
When you shoot the stars away
The brightest light is the first to go
You lust
You lust
You lust

Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed

Unholy and magnificent
The selfish eye can't see itself
When it shoots across the fire
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed"
