    Aaron H. Swartz (November 8, 1986 -- January 11, 2013) speaking at ThoughtWorks tells how a tiny number of online activists managed to defeat SOPA, the Internet censoring bill, pushed by the entertainment industry, which had spent hundreds of millions of dollars per year trying to get it passed.

    Aaron Swartz, 26, was found dead Jan 11, 2013 in his New York apartment, an apparent suicide. He had apparently hanged himself. Swartz's girlfriend discovered the body.

    Aaron Swartz became an Internet folk hero, pushing to make many Web files free and open to the public. But in July 2011, he was indicted on federal charges of gaining illegal access to JSTOR, a subscription-only service for distributing scientific and literary journals, and downloading 4.8 million articles and documents, nearly the entire library.

    Charges in the case, including wire fraud and computer fraud, were pending at the time of Mr. Swartz's death, carrying potential penalties of up to 35 years in prison and $1 million in fines. Lawrence Lessig of the Safra Center at Harvard who worked for a time on behalf of Swartz's legal defense denounced the federal bullying: Why was it so necessary Aaron Swartz be labeled a felon?

    Prominent American blogger and computer prodigy Aaron Swartz, who spoke against US President Barack Obama’s “kill list” and cyber attacks against Iran, has been found dead in New York.



    Police found the body of the 26-year-old in his apartment in New York City borough of Brooklyn on Friday, said a spokeswoman for the city’s chief medical examiner.

    Brooklyn’s chief medical examiner ruled the death a suicide by hanging, but no further detail is available about the mysterious death.

    Last year, Swartz openly criticized the US and the Israeli regime for launching joint cyber attacks against Iran.

    The blogger was also vocal in criticizing Obama’s so-called kill list and other policies.

    Obama has been reportedly approving the names put on the “kill lists” used in the targeted killing operations carried out by US assassination drones.

    Every week or so, more than 100 members of the US national security team gather via secure video teleconference run by the Pentagon and go over the biographies of suspects in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, and “nominate” those who should be targeted in the attacks.

    Obama is then provided with the identities of those put on the “kill list” and signs off on every strike in Yemen and Somalia as well as the risky strikes in Pakistan.

    Swartz was also widely credited for co-authoring the specifications for the Web feed format RSS 1.0 (Rich Site Summary) which he worked on at age 14.

    RSS is designed to deliver content from sites that change constantly, such as news pages, to users.

    Swartz was critical of monopoly of information by corporate cartels and believed that information should be shared and available for the benefit of society.

    “Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves,” he wrote in an online “manifesto” in 2008.

    Based on that belief, the computer prodigy founded the nonprofit group DemandProgress.

    The group launched a successful campaign to block a 2011 bill that the US House of Representatives called the Stop Online Piracy Act.

    Had it been approved, the bill would have allowed court orders to restrain access to some websites considered to be involved in illegal sharing of intellectual property.

    DemandProgress argued that the thwarted Stop Online Piracy Act would have broadly authorized the US government to censor and restrict legitimate Web communication.

    Swartz' Prayer

    Yes, deepest condolence and mourning for the loss of this prodigious young man.Very unlikely that such a brilliant person so full of empathy (check his charming smile) would take his own life. I suspect, like others mentioned, the dismay and depressed blogs planted by trolls, who also managed to sneak in here. Aaaron and Adam will go straight to the wide opened pearly gates and will help us fight the Satanic-Zionist-neocons-banksters-MSM-ers! 2013 is year of reckoning with these scums. Rise ye peasants and dispossesed of the earth!

    Is the New World Order killing off future leaders of the Human Resistance?The death of Aaron Swartz sound suspiciously similar to these deaths:mark lombardiHope Reichbach Perry MooreAndrew EmbiricosThere are ALOT of ways to murder someone and make it look like a suicidewithout ever laying a hand on them. It's called the "art" of murder. The 2009 film "Accident", directedby Soi Cheang reveals a few of them.

    It is also quite possible that the latest blame being put on the Islamic Republic of Iran for cyber attacks on the American banks as noted by Ashraf, was traced to the late Aaron Swartz.Anything which or anybody who can minutely influence the development of public thought and freedom from the shackles of hegemonic terrorist policies will be targeted for elimination; Dr.Kelly,
    Roshan, Chavez,Ortega,Malcom,Libya,Syria etc,etc.
    The endless war and murders are tentacles of the NWO designs for whole world subjugation of which the UN protected and Arab funded zionist expansion is another.No person or place is exempted.If PressTV was a person or place it would have been assasinated or drone attacked a long time ago. We offer our condolences and regrets on the passing of this braveheart genius and may his death enliven the heartbeats of the noble and rightly guided freedom seekers.

    "If thine eye offends thee pluck it out!" Aaron was a threat to the zionist cult and now he is not. They will never have qualms about removing those whom they see as problematic to their end game. The evil that permeates US political circles is bred in New York and its stink wafts across the whole world from there.

    I thank God Almigthy today that I have eyes with which I can see, Brain in my head , a Heart in the right place that makes me to feel correctly too. AMERICA, EU, ISRAEL HAS NO DEMOCRACY NOR FREEDOM OF ANY SPEECH MEDIA. It is all gimmicks. TOO MUCH DOUBLE STANDARDS & DECEIT. OUTRIGHT MIS-INFORMATION. OBAMA, GEORGE W. BUSH, TONY BLAIR, NETANYAHU, CIA, MOSSAD have too much blood on their hands. Of what use are assassination drone attacks in sovereign States? How can a state claim to pursue world or regional peace through daily 'KILL LIST' of state. THIS IS LEGALIZED STATE TERRORISM. THESE ARE THE TRUE & FACTUAL TERRORISTS. Its time the whole world should come together & fight these negative forces fast. These leaders & politicians are agents of the DEVIL. THEY HAVE NO CONSCIENCE OR POSITIVE FORESIGHT. ANYBODY SPEAKING AGAINST THEM IN THEIR FREE SPEECH PLATFORM DIES MYSTERIOUSLY. This is the DECEITFUL WESTERN WORLD DEMOCRACY. NOT WORTHY OF EXPORTATION TO OTHER LANDS.

    There is not a single mention of the word "theory" anywhere in the NEWS. The bond between "CONSPIRACY" and theory has been broken and now CONSPIRACY is called CONSPIRACY without the supporting adjective of "theory" to support zionist agenda. Secondly, how come you were allowed to witness Mr. Swartz secret ballot?

She went on (Alex Jones) show said that she had no plans to kill herself, and next thing you know they found her hanging in her shed. Hope this man's non-profit continues on with his movement. It's not every day when such a critical bill is blocked on behalf of a grass roots movement. Rest In Peace Mr Swartz
