He was killed because he had the ability to undermine the plans of the Powers That Lie or at least be a good-sized wrench in their works. Not only did he see them for what they were, but he had the real ability to mobilize and inspire people to stand up against their tyranny. He was a major threat to the them, unlike the rest of us who are no more than flies that are not even worth the trouble of being swatted at, let alone killed. This man did not kill himself. He was killed because he was a past, present and future threat to the NWO.

TDJ User ID: 26423286 United States 01/12/2013 11:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Aaron Swartz was young, dynamic, articulate, intelligent, had millions of followers, had 'the common touch' and was able to organize 'the people' from the ground up, and had a way of making good things happen virtually overnight. He was a relentless and tireless worker. A warrior. A truth-seeker. A handsome (in a geek kind of way) hero for the internet age. He also was able to outwit and out-argue lawyers and was not afraid to go up against the big guns: He knew he had truth on his side. He was a modern-day David, but instead of a slingshot and a few pebbles, he harnessed internet technology and slung words. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31853839 This man did not kill himself.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31558802 United States 01/12/2013 11:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Aaron’s commitment to social justice was profound, and defined his life. He was instrumental to the defeat of an Internet censorship bill; he fought for a more democratic, open, and accountable political system; and he helped to create, build, and preserve a dizzying range of scholarly projects that extended the scope and accessibility of human knowledge. He used his prodigious skills as a programmer and technologist not to enrich himself but to make the Internet and the world a fairer, better place. Aaron’s death is not simply a personal tragedy. It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach. Decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office and at MIT contributed to his death. [link to rememberaaronsw.tumblr.com] |
