  This URL won't load for me, anything specific about it? I simply get secure connection failed, authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

  She was so secretive for so long, it's crazy she's waving to us on that page. This interviewer flew to Kazakhstan to meet her and wasn't even sure she'd show up: https://radiolab.org/podcast/library-alexandra https://radiolab.org/podcast/library-alexandra

    She probably lost any hope to live free and resigned herself to be forever hunted like a criminal by US administration and its international stooges. At least she's safe in Russia

      Is this some of autonomic response? She is facing civil trial for violating copyright. The CIA isn't going to rendition her for that. And she has no intention of leaving Kazakhstan. She comes across as being mildly autistic and acts completely unconcerned with legal issues.

        Aaron Swartz died of "civil trial for violating copyright". Not so sure about CIA rendition, but "sovereign"* countries would extradite her to obey the Empire. Since 2017 she's pursuing her research in Russian universities (although she maybe partially doing it remotely) https://sci-hub.ru/alexandra https://sci-hub.ru/alexandra

          Aaron didn't just violate copyright, he personally exfiltrated the documents that he was hosting without permission. He was on the hook for criminal hacking charges while also suicidally depressed. It was tragic, but not the same thing.
