      A la découverte de Michel Foucault (1/3)

      Cette semaine, une invitation à découvrir Michel Foucault, philosophe français dont le travail porte sur les rapports entre pouvoir et savoir. Puisant dans Nietzsche et Kant, l’ensemble de son l’œuvre est une critique des normes sociales et des mécanismes de pouvoir.

      Comment Michel Foucault a proposé des réflexions nouvelles dans de nombreux domaines, et comment sa pensée a irrigué bien des disciplines au-delà de la propre philosophie, sa discipline principale ? Pour nous accompagner dans ce questionnement, un entretien avec Judith Revel, philosophe, italianiste et membre du Bureau scientifique du Centre Michel Foucault, qui gère l’archive du philosophe déposé auprès de lʹIMEC.

      Entretien avec #Geoffroy_de_Lagasnerie

      Qui sont les nouveaux révoltés, les nouveaux activistes tel #Edward_Snowden, #Julien_Assange ou encore #Bradley_Manning et que comprendre de leur action ? Que comprendre de la réponse que lʹEtat apporte à leur action ? En quoi les questions des secrets dʹÉtat, de la surveillance de masse, de la protection de la vie privée, des libertés civiles à lʹère dʹInternet, posent-ils de nouveaux problèmes ? Des questions que nous abordons avec le philosophe Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, qui vient de publier « Lʹart de la révolte, Snowden Assange Manning » aux éditions Fayard.

      Ce dimanche 31 décembre 2015 sur RTS Deux vous pourrez découvrir : « Edward Snowden, ennemi d’Etat » un documentaire de John Goetz et Poul-Erik Heilbuth :

      Version moderne de David et Goliath, l’histoire d’une chasse à l’homme : celle d’Edward Snowden, l’homme le plus recherché des Etats-Unis… Du 23 juin au 1er août 2013, Edward Snowden et son « ange protecteur », Sarah Harrison de WikiLeaks, sont réfugiés dans leurs chambres d’hôtel du Terminal F, coupés du monde. Au bout de cinquante jours, Snowden sort de l’aéroport de Moscou en homme libre. Après avoir remué ciel et terre, la Maison Blanche doit s’avouer vaincue. Comment la plus grande machine de sécurité militaire du monde a-t-elle échoué à attraper Snowden ?

    Chelsea Manning raconte sa vie en prison

    Âgée de 27 ans, Chelsea a été condamnée en août 2013 à 35 ans de prison pour avoir transmis plus de 700 000 documents confidentiels au site WikiLeaks, alors qu’elle travaillait comme analyste du renseignement en Irak.

    Après sa condamnation, le soldat Bradley Manning avait annoncé qu’il se sentait femme et voulait être reconnu comme étant Chelsea Manning.

    Dans sa première interview depuis son incarcération dans la prison militaire de Fort Leavenworth au Kansas, publiée mercredi dans le magazine Cosmopolitan, elle affirme notamment souffrir qu’on lui interdise de se laisser pousser les cheveux : c’est à la fois « douloureux et bizarre ».

    The New York Times and Manning’s prison sentence
    By Thomas Gaist
    23 August 2013

    In an editorial published yesterday, “Bradley Manning’s Excessive Sentence,” the New York Times has endorsed the suppression of whistleblowers spearheaded by the Obama administration.

    Edito du NYT qui juge la sentence de #Bradley_Manning "excessive".
    Il pourra faire appel dans 8 ans. Il est incarcéré depuis 3.

    Bradley Manning’s Excessive Sentence - NYTimes.com
    ▻http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/22/opinion/bradley-mannings-sentence-is-excessive.html?nl=todaysheadlines

    But the larger issue, which is not resolved by Private Manning’s sentencing, is the federal government’s addiction to secrecy and what it will do when faced with future leaks, an inevitability when 92 million documents are classified in a year and more than 4 million Americans have security clearance.

    Quelle autre sentence eut été possible ? Exercice de #droit international comparé : ▻http://seenthis.net/messages/166825

    Une autre réaction, celle de Birgitta Jónsdóttir, qui souligne les errements d’Obama, prof de droit constitutionnel, qui a pesé de tout son poids dans cette affaire :

    When the president says that the Ellsberg’s material was classified in a different way, he seems to be unaware that there was a higher classification on the documents Ellsberg leaked.

    ▻http://www.mediapart.fr/journal/international/140813/affaire-snowden-obama-na-pas-su-reformer-les-politiques-securitaires?ongle

    En examinant l’entourage du président américain, il est frappant de constater le nombre d’anciens de l’administration Bush qui continuent d’occuper des postes-clés en matière de surveillance et d’espionnage.

    Fin d’un procès devant une cour martiale qui aura vu, quelques jours après son ouverture, éclater l’affaire #Snowden #Prism #surveillance ; et que les #journalistes (dont le destin se confond de plus en plus avec celui des #whistleblowers — mais est-ce vraiment neuf ?) auront eu toutes les peines du monde à couvrir (et ce n’est pas fini cf. les déboires du Guardian et de G. Greenwald).

    A ce sujet, je signale cet entretien derrière un #paywall avec le sociologue Francis Chateauraynaud qui aurait "importé en France le terme de « lanceur d’alerte », tout en le distinguant de sa matrice anglo-saxonne de whistleblower."

    Qu’est-ce qui fait le succès du #lanceur_d'alerte ?

      Though objecting mildly to the length of Manning’s 35-year sentence, the Times explicitly endorsed his imprisonment. The position of what passes for American liberalism is “Keep Manning behind bars, but not for a third of a century.” The Times editors do not say what they think Manning’s jail time should be. Twenty years, perhaps?

    Vers le prix #Nobel de la #paix pour #Bradley_Manning ?

    Des soutiens de Bradley Manning, soldat américain jugé pour avoir transmis des documents confidentiels à WikiLeaks, ont remis lundi à l’Institut Nobel d’Oslo une pétition géante pour que le prix éponyme de la paix lui soit attribué.

    Selon eux, un tel prix permettrait aussi de dissiper « le nuage » qui « plane au-dessus du comité Nobel norvégien » depuis l’attribution de la prestigieuse récompense au président américain Barack #Obama en 2009 alors qu’il était tout juste entré en fonction et qu’il venait de décider d’intensifier l’effort de guerre en Afghanistan.

    Irony : Congress May Declare Today ’National Whistleblower Day’ As Court Announces Manning Verdict
    ▻http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130729/17283923996/irony-congress-may-declare-today-national-whistleblower-day-as-court-annou

    In a few hours, the court hearing the #Bradley_Manning trial will be announcing the verdict. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of commentary on the eventual decision, but it’s worth noting this bit of ridiculousness. Senator Chuck Grassley is trying to get today declared National Whistleblower Day by Congress, in honor of the Constitutional Congress’ very first whitleblower protection law, enacted on July 30, 1778. As the article notes, Grassley has worked hard over the years to protect whistleblowers, but we recently wrote about his hypocrisy on the subject, passing a special law for a Swiss bank security guard who did more or less the same thing as Ed #Snowden, while bashing Snowden for not facing a trial in the US. Congress just really has a knack for doing the exact wrong thing, don’t they? If they want to actually support whistleblowers, they should support #whistleblowers, not name a pointless day after them on the very same day that a high profile whistleblower likely finds out that he’s going to spend much, if not all, of the rest of his life in jail.

    Huffington Post reporter Matt Sledge read my Boing Boing post earlier today about reports from the Bradley Manning trial of dramatically-increased security measures for press. Those measures including armed military police standing behind journalists at their laptops, snooping on their screens.

      Journalism On Trial as #Bradley_Manning Case Nears Moment of Truth - The Daily Beast
      by Alexa O’Brien Jul 16, 2013
      ▻http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/07/16/journalism-on-trial-as-bradley-manning-case-nears-moment-of-truth.htm

      In a historic elocution in court last week, Prof. Yochai Benkler, co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, told Lind that “the cost of finding Pfc. Manning guilty of aiding the enemy would impose” too great a burden on the “willingness of people of good conscience but not infinite courage to come forward,” and “would severely undermine the way in which leak-based investigative journalism has worked in the tradition of [the] free press in the United States.”
      ▻https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/blog/2013/07/transcript-yochai-benkler-testifies-bradley-manning-trial

      “[I]f handing materials over to an organization that can be read by anyone with an internet connection, means that you are handing [it] over to the enemy—that essentially means that any leak to a media organization that can be read by any enemy anywhere in the world, becomes automatically aiding the enemy,” said Benkler. “[T]hat can’t possibly be the claim,” he added.

      Benkler testified that WikiLeaks was a new mode of digital journalism that fit into a distributed model of emergent newsgathering and dissemination in the Internet age, what he termed the “networked Fourth Estate.”

      Par ailleurs (#free_bradley) :

      “We were told [the impact of WikiLeaks revelations] was embarrassing but not damaging,” a congressional aide told Reuters.

      But perhaps most important was the absence of a public court record. That meant reporters unable to dedicate weeks or months to following the proceeding’s ins and outs had no way to cover or even properly assess it — even as military prosecutors appeared to try and craft a “State Secrets Act,” something Congress has never passed.

      For months last year, there was no media operations center for the first journalists covering the pretrial hearing, and we reported from the courtroom itself — where electronic devices were prohibited! Using pen and paper, I did my best to keep up with 120-word-a-minute recitations . It was 18 months after the legal proceedings began, 1,103 days into Manning’s confinement and three days after the trial began when the press and the public were allowed to read some of what was by then more than 30,000 pages of documents.

    Prism, nouvel échelon dans la surveillance globale - Les blogs du Diplo
    ►http://blog.mondediplo.net/2013-06-12-Sauter-l-echelon

    Pour l’heure, seuls cinq fichiers de présentation du programme « #Prism » — sur quarante et un — ont été rendus publics, nous n’en savons donc pas beaucoup plus sur la manière précise dont s’effectue cette #surveillance globale, sinon qu’elle est profonde, et qu’elle touche potentiellement l’ensemble des communications, appels téléphoniques et historiques de recherche, jusqu’aux dispositifs d’écoute placés sur certains #câbles_sous-marins. Mais le plus inquiétant reste peut-être l’apathie ambiante qu’une telle confirmation est la plus à même de conforter, sur l’air du « rien de nouveau sous le soleil ».

    Incapables de prévenir les attaques du 11 septembre 2001, les services de renseignement des Etats-Unis ont-ils failli à leur mission ? Pourquoi Echelon, le système d’écoute planétaire de la National Security Agency (NSA), n’a-t-il été d’aucun secours ?

    Avec un budget annuel de 26,7 milliards de dollars — autant que pendant la guerre froide —, les services de renseignement américains sont les mieux dotés de la planète. Des alliances stratégiques et une technologie puissante leur permettent d’espionner de manière routinière téléphone, fax et courrier électronique dans le monde entier.

      So, remember: decentralization and cryptography through appropriate tools and behavior.

      Do not expect laws to efficiently protect your #privacy, as secret services will increasingly have means to silently and massively circumvent law obligations.

      If governments wanted to promote privacy (and, through this, free speech and democracy), they would setup teaching of these key concepts to children at school and would promote #FLOSS and internet decentralization. For now, they are mostly going the opposite way - corruption talks.

      en attendant #cccp

      PS : maintenant que j’y pense, face aux réactions de type « rien d’illégal n’a été commis », poser la question : quelle était dans ce cas la raison d’être du projet de loi #CISPA (actuellement suspendu) ?

    Assange Statement on the First Day of Manning Trial
    ▻http://wikileaks.org/Assange-Statement-on-the-First-Day.html

    The government has prepared for a good show. The trial is to proceed for twelve straight weeks: a fully choreographed extravaganza, with a 141-strong cast of prosecution witnesses. The defense was denied permission to call all but a handful of witnesses. Three weeks ago, in closed session, the court actually held a rehearsal. Even experts on military law have called this unprecedented.

    Bradley Manning’s conviction is already written into the script. The commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, Barack Obama, spoiled the plot for all of us when he pronounced Bradley Manning guilty two years ago. “He broke the law,” President Obama stated, when asked on camera at a fundraiser about his position on Mr. Manning. In a civilized society, such a prejudicial statement alone would have resulted in a mistrial.

    To convict Bradley Manning, it will be necessary for the US government to conceal crucial parts of his trial. Key portions of the trial are to be conducted in secrecy: 24 prosecution witnesses will give secret testimony in closed session, permitting the judge to claim that secret evidence justifies her decision. But closed justice is no justice at all.

    What cannot be shrouded in secrecy will be hidden through obfuscation. The remote situation of the courtroom, the arbitrary and discretionary restrictions on access for journalists, and the deliberate complexity and scale of the case are all designed to drive fact-hungry reporters into the arms of official military PR men, who mill around the Fort Meade press room like over-eager sales assistants. The management of Bradley Manning’s case will not stop at the limits of the courtroom. It has already been revealed that the Pentagon is closely monitoring press coverage and social media discussions on the case.

    This is not justice; never could this be justice. The verdict was ordained long ago. Its function is not to determine questions such as guilt or innocence, or truth or falsehood. It is a public relations exercise, designed to provide the government with an alibi for posterity. It is a show of wasteful vengeance; a theatrical warning to people of conscience.

    Le procès en Cour martiale de #Bradley_Manning, le jeune soldat à l’origine des fuites de #WikiLeaks, doit commencer ce lundi. En janvier 2011, Philippe Rivière dénonçait l’acharnement judiciaire des Etats-Unis contre l’organisation de Julian Assange.

    WikiLeaks, mort au messager, par Philippe Rivière @fil (#2011/01)
    ►http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/2011/01/RIVIERE/20058

    C’était un discours important, que n’auraient pas renié les pères fondateurs des Etats-Unis. Le 21 janvier 2010, Mme Hillary Clinton prononçait une allocution sur la liberté d’Internet. Critiquant les pays qui « ont créé des barrières électroniques pour empêcher leurs populations d’avoir accès à certaines parties des réseaux mondiaux [et] ont supprimé des mots, des noms et des phrases des résultats des moteurs de recherche », la secrétaire d’Etat reprenait le credo du président Barack Obama : « Plus l’information circule librement, plus les sociétés deviennent fortes. »

    How Amnesty has let down Bradley Manning
    ▻http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david/how-amnesty-has-let-down-bradley-manning

    Why is Amnesty applying different rules to the US than to Russia?

    My own interest in human rights was sparked by the protests over US foreign policy that occurred when Ronald Reagan visited Ireland in 1984 (I was 13 years old at the time). I first heard about Amnesty a year or two later and have supported the organization ever since.

    So it felt like a betrayal when I heard that Amnesty’s American office was headed for most of last year by Suzanne Nossel; before taking up that job she had been a deputy assistant secretary of state under Hillary Clinton. Under Nossel’s leadership, Amnesty whitewashed the invasion of Afghanistan by hosting a conference praising NATO’s “progress” in that country. The guest of “honor” at that event was Madeleine Albright, the secretary of state who declared that killing as many as 500,000 children in Iraq by depriving them of essential medicines was a price worth paying.

    Silencing the Whistle-Blowers - NYTimes.com
    ▻http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/28/opinion/silencing-the-whistle-blowers.html

    ... while Private Manning’s ordeal has received exhaustive news coverage, it may ultimately have a less profound bearing on this tension than a barely noticed memo quietly released by the Obama administration earlier this year.

    Issued on Jan. 25, the memo instructs the director of national intelligence and the Office of Personnel Management to establish standards that would give federal agencies the power to fire employees, without appeal, deemed ineligible to hold “ noncritical sensitive” jobs. It means giving them immense power to bypass civil service law, which is the foundation for all whistle-blower rights.

    The administration claims that the order will simply enable these agencies to determine which jobs qualify as “sensitive.” But the proposed rules are exceptionally vague, defining such jobs as any that could have “a material adverse impact” on national security — including police, customs and immigration positions.

    ...

    The Obama era has been a strange time for whistle-blowers. Agencies with investigative powers have become more responsive to tips from whistle-blowers. Important new laws have been enacted.

    Yet during Mr. Obama’s first term, a record number of national security officials were prosecuted for allegedly leaking classified information to the press, a zeal that continues today, with aggressive tactics employed to locate officials who leaked information to Fox News and The Associated Press.

    The administration apparently strongly supports whistle-blower rights — except when that support collides with its desire to appease the national security establishment..

    Private Manning’s Confidant - Bill Keller - NYTimes.com
    ▻http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/11/opinion/keller-private-mannings-confidant.html

    But if Manning had been our direct source, the consequences might have been slightly mitigated. Although as a matter of law I believe #WikiLeaks and The New York Times are equally protected by the First Amendment, it’s possible the court’s judgment of the leaker might be colored by the fact that he delivered the goods to a group of former hackers with an outlaw sensibility and an antipathy toward American interests.

    If successful, the prosecution will establish a chilling precedent: national security leaks may subject the leakers to a capital prosecution or at least life imprisonment. Anyone who holds freedom of the press dear should shudder at the threat that the prosecution’s theory presents to journalists, their sources and the public that relies on them.

    Daniel Ellsberg : In Hearing Bradley Manning Act Out of Conscience, Secret Tape Refutes Media Slander | Democracy Now !
    ▻http://www.democracynow.org/2013/3/12/daniel_ellsberg_in_hearing_bradley_manning

    To discuss Bradley Manning’s recorded court statement that was recently leaked to the press, we’re joined by perhaps the country’s most famous whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, the secret history of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. “What we’ve heard are people like The New York Times who have consistently slandered him ... that he was vague and couldn’t think of specific instances that had led him to inform the American people of injustices,” Ellsberg says. “The American people can now, for the first time, hear Bradley in his own words, emotionally and in the greatest specific detail, tell what it was that he felt that needed revelation.”

    “Is this embarrassing? Yes. Is this awkward? Yes. Consequences for U.S. foreign policy? I think fairly modest” — Robert Gates, former United States Secretary of Defense

    In a prepared statement Bradley Manning this week pleaded guilty to ten of the charges against him and revealed that before sending 251,287 US diplomatic cables to #Wikileaks he had first approached and been rebuffed by The New York Times and The Washington Post, an unexpected twist in a saga that has polarized opinion on the young former intelligence analyst.

    After two years, #Amnesty explains why #Bradley_Manning has not been named a Prisoner of Conscience, by Joe Emersberger
    ▻http://www.zcommunications.org/after-two-years-amnesty-explains-why-bradley-manning-has-not-been-n

    Today, I was finally told by an Amnesty USA employee (after she consulted with their “expert” on the case) that they have still not named Manning a Prisoner of Conscience (POC) but that Amnesty is “still investigating” if he qualifies. She added that Amnesty is not yet certain of two criteria that must be met
     
    1) That Manning released information in a “responsible manner”
    2) That the government has been punishing him in order to prevent 
    public knowledge of human rights abuses.

    #WikiLeaks delivers contribution to #Bradley_Manning defence fund | guardian.co.uk

    WikiLeaks, the website that has published thousands of confidential US embassy cables, has donated $15,100 (£9,500) to the legal defence fund of Bradley Manning, the soldier accused of handing providing it with the digital trove.

    WikiLeaks had been coming under mounting criticism from Manning’s supporters to honour a pledge made last July to take on board a substantial part of the financial burden of the soldier’s defence. The fund is managed by Manning’s Rhode Island-based lawyer, David Coombs.

    Pour enfoncer #Bradley_Manning, suspecté d’être la source des #Wikileaks sur les #WarLogs, le #New_York_Times descend au fond des chiottes:
    ►http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/09/us/09manning.html?_r=1
    “He spent part of his childhood with his father in the arid plains of central Oklahoma, where classmates made fun of him for being a geek. He spent another part with his mother in a small, remote corner of southwest Wales, where classmates made fun of him for being gay.

    Then he joined the Army, where, friends said, his social life was defined by the need to conceal his sexuality under “don’t ask, don’t tell” and he wasted brainpower fetching coffee for officers.

    But it was around two years ago, when Pfc. Bradley Manning came here to visit a man he had fallen in love with, that he finally seemed to have found a place where he fit in, part of a social circle that included politically motivated computer hackers and his boyfriend, a self-described drag queen.”

    Oui, les trois premiers paragraphes d’un article consacré à celui qui risque quelques dizaines d’années de prison pour avoir permis la sortie des War Logs concernent, uniquement, sa présumée #homosexualité.
