Edward Snowden: US surveillance ´not something I´m willing to live under´

The Guardian ^ | 7/9/13 | Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poltras et al

[Nachum]

In second part of Glenn Greenwald interview, NSA whistleblower insists he is a patriot who regards the US as fundamentally good. Edward Snowden predicted more than a month ago while still in hiding in Hong Kong that the US government would seek to demonise him, telling the Guardian that he would be accused of aiding America´s enemies.

´not something I´m willing to live under´

That is saying a lot with a name like Snowden

[Vince Ferrer]

He will be living under the Eye of Mordor for the rest of his life.

[Ronin]

I was just thinking that myself. No matter where he goes or what he does, he is going to have eyeballs on him and on everything he does for the rest of his life.

[Irenic]

Is he done releasing information?

Venezuela, egads!!

[Gene Eric]

Snowden’s mistake was not first being elected to office or working for the NYT.

Edwina!

[Cyclone59]

So he chooses to go through Russia....

The more I hear about this the more I am thinking that he really doesn’t exist, he is a made up character being used to distract us from the real problems.

So he will be spending the rest of his life in that bastion of civil liberties, Venezuela?

“So he will be spending the rest of his life in that bastion of civil liberties, Venezuela?”

I hate to tell you he will probably be freer there than here. They don’t stick their hand down your pants at the airport and nuke you with naked body scanners. They don’t have smart meters watching every kw you use.

No toilet paper is going to be a beach though. :-)

QUICK! LOOK BEHIND YOU, COMRADE!

So...when you moving there?

If I did that I couldn’t run you off the Civil War threads. What fun would life be? :-)

[USS Johnston]

"America is a fundamentally good country. We have good people with good values who want to do the right thing. But the structures of power that exist are working to their own ends to extend their capability at the expense of the freedom of all publics."

"I don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded. And that's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build and it's not something I'm willing to live under." ~ Edward Snowden, American Patriot

[Tau Food]

I suspect the Russians are getting a bit tired of all this. Before too long, they will probably provide him with a pistol, one bullet and the advice that it is time for him to do the right thing.

You could continue to try. Oh wait, they censor the internet down there, don't they? All the anti-Chavez posts on FR would probably cause it to be blocked. But at least there isn't any TSA.

[USS Johnston]

So...when you moving there?

Are you subtly giving the order, Comrade, or are you a mere pilot for NSA Airlines?

[USS Johnston]

I hate to tell you he will probably be freer there than here. They don’t stick their hand down your pants at the airport and nuke you with naked body scanners. They don’t have smart meters watching every kw you use.

But...but...the TSA is only making us safer from little old white grandmas and nuns in wheelchairs. EVERYBODY iz unt a suspect!!

(ZEIL HEIL!)

He likes to play Cuckoo bird on all the threads. Irritating but harmless. :-)
