Congratulations to Disinformation Editor-At-Large Russ Kick for
being one of Utne Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing
Your World":

“I don’t foresee a day when there is true government transparency,”
says Russ Kick, editor of TheMemoryHole.org.
“It’s just not in the nature of government.” So, in lieu of the end of secrecy,
Kick tenaciously ticks off small victories, such as finding an IRS guide to

Kick edits a series of anthologies for Disinformation, a radical media organization.

called (appropriately) "You Are Still Being Lied To."

FOIA request of his or her own.
