Resource Shelf feed item today took me to the National Security Archives at George Washington University, long one of my favorite sources of information. Of course they don’t have an RSS feed. So I scraped one using Wotzwot, did the same with two other good sources of information about US Government documents supressed, released and otherwise. Here’s an OPML file: US Gov Watch Dogs
If you are unfamiliar with OPML, in this case it’s a file you can copy and paste into your RSS reader to subscribe to multiple feeds at once. See also this post of scraped feeds from international free speech watch dog organizations.
Please note that these are sources of pretty hard core information. I’ll let you take care of your own patriotism, but you might want to watch out for your stomach in regards to both images and text on these sites. Likewise, they are definitely sites of interest to federal authorities, particularly Cryptome. Just so you know.
The file contains:
- National Security Archive News
- The Memory Hole: Rescuing News, Freeing Information
- Cryptome documents posted both on and off site.
Since these are scraped feeds, they are sometimes kind of slow, but they are sure better than nothing.
