Weekend Standard – Confessions of an eBay opium addict.

Welcome to the Stanford Prison Experiment web site, which features an extensive slide show and information about this classic psychology experiment, including parallels with the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph? These are some of the questions we posed in this dramatic simulation of prison life conducted in the summer of 1971 at Stanford University.

CERTEC rapport 96:2 – Fria Freja, del 1.

Freja är en spenslig 40-årig kvinna. Fast hon aldrig rånat eller mördat någon, fast hon aldrig med vett och vilja ens misshandlat någon, lever hon i en låst cell med en rastgård utanför. Hon har kallats för Sveriges farligaste kvinna. Sedan hon som barn skildes från sina föräldrar, har hon lågt räknat haft 300 vårdare, åtskilliga läkare och andra experter. Alla har haft sina teorier om vem Freja är och varför. Årskostnaden för Frejas vård i dag är drygt 2 MSEK. Socialstyrelsen har tillsynsplikten.

Freemasonry – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century.

timboucher » The Yippie Revolution.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been feverishly trying to reclaim some of the “lost history” of the counter-culture. In particular, a group called the Yippies. I was first drawn to the Yippies by way of the excellent BBC documentary, Century of the Self. Yippie leader Stew Albert explained in an interview in Part 3 that as a reaction to the violent repression the United States government lavished upon student protestors in the late 1960’s (at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, Kent State, etc), the Left had no choice to but to change their focus and tactics:[…]

Stephen Glass (reporter) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Stephen Glass (born 1972) is an American former journalist, known for serial fraud in his articles. Over a three year period as a young rising star at the prestigious national magazine, The New Republic, from 1995 to 1998, he fabricated quotations, sources, and even entire events in articles he wrote for that magazine and others. He was fired when his deceptions came to light. The story of his downfall was dramatized in a 2003 film, Shattered Glass. Glass fictionalized his own story in a 2003 novel whose protagonist is named “Stephen Aaron Glass”^[1]

School Killers – Crime Library on truTV.com.

The List

In the late 1990s, it seemed like an epidemic had hit American schools: Children were acquiring guns and bombs, and then going to school to kill teachers and classmates. Various cultural influences were targeted for blame, such as Stephen King’s novel, Rage, a film, The Basketball Diaries, and the Pearl Jam video, “Jeremy.” Violent videogames also entered the discussions, as did the influences of cults like Satanism. Yet a look back reveals some of the earlier incidents as well. The following is a timeline of school violence that grabbed national attention:

• January 1979 — Brenda Spencer, 17, got a rifle for Christmas and used it to shoot into an elementary school across the street from her home in San Diego, California. Eight children and a police officer were injured, and two men lost their lives protecting the kids. When the six-hour standoff finally ended, Brenda explained with a shrug, “I don’t like Mondays.”
• March 2, 1987 — Nathan Ferris, 12, was an honor student in Missouri, where he finally got tired of being teased. He brought a pistol to school and when a classmate made fun of him, he killed the other boy. Then he turned the gun on himself. He had warned a friend not to attend school that day, signaling his plans, but no one had listened to this overweight loner.

Smugglingsmetoder

När det gäller smugglingsmetoder från Syd- och Mellanamerika, för att få in narkotikan i USA, finns alla möjliga varianter. Gränsen mellan Mexico – USA är svårövervakad, eftersom den är så vidsträckt och tidigare var det vanligt med små flygplan som flög över gränsen och dumpade ett parti narkotika på en förbestämd plats, där någon väntade med bil. Numera går mycket narkotika i båt och landsvägstransporter. Eftersom trafiken till USA är så intensiv, både till havs och på land, är det en i det närmaste omöjlig uppgift för tullen att kunna kontrollera denna. Till Miami hamn ankommer ca 2.000 containers dagligen och antalet långtradare, lastbilar och personbilar [..]

Andra sätt att smuggla är via Kanada, med båtfrakt från t ex Colombia. En narkotikaorganisation kan då se till att ett företag upprättas Kanada, ett företag som importerar typiska colombia

The Glass Delusion – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Glass Delusion was an external manifestation of a psychiatric disorder recorded in Europe in the late middle ages (15th to 17th centuries). People feared that they were made of glass “and therefore likely to shatter into pieces”. One famous early sufferer was King Charles VI of France who refused to allow people to touch him, and wore reinforced clothing to protect himself from accidental “shattering”.
