Story at-a-glance

  • “CITIZENFOUR” is a documentary about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. It came out in 2014, but it’s even more pertinent today than it was then
  • In January 2013, when documentary film director/producer Laura Poitras received an encrypted email from a stranger who called himself “Citizen Four”
  • In June 2013, Poitras flew to meet Snowden at the Mira Hotel in Hong Kong, together with columnist Glenn Greenwald and Guardian intelligence reporter Ewen MacAskill. After four days of interviews, Snowden’s identity was made public at his request
  • Today, Snowden’s warnings ring truer than ever. Artificial intelligence now scours social media, podcasts and videos for key words identifying “anti-vaxxers,” for example. It doesn’t even matter if they agree with what you’re writing or saying. The mere inclusion of certain words will get you axed from the platform
  • Next, the plan is to eliminate privacy altogether by requiring a digital identity to access the internet

“CITIZENFOUR” is a documentary about U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden. It came out in 2014, but it’s even more pertinent today than it was then, so if you haven’t seen it, I urge you to do so.

IT’S ALL ABOUT ECONOMIC & SOCIAL CONTROL

Read it and weep. Those in control of our government are pure evil. There is no question about it. We will never vote our way out of this. Collapse or overthrow are the likely options. Which do you choose?

“When I was working for the NSA, I was sent to Japan to impress the Japanese and show them the reach of advancement that we had made. I showed them how live drone feeds were visible and could be monitored.

The NSA then asked Japan to help us spy on the Japanese population. The Japanese government refused and said it was illegal in their country to spy on their population. They said it was against their laws.

Edward Snowden Whistleblower: New Design + Freedom of Speech Quotes

We have a sinking feeling there will never be another Edward Snowden. It is quite possible that some other contractor will notice the government is doing something illegal and evil.

But if they decide to follow Snowden’s lead and bring it to their supervisors’ attention – or even go so far as to leak classified documents to the press – their odds of dying under mysterious circumstances will become one against one.

(Reuters) – Seven years after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the mass surveillance of Americans’ telephone records, an appeals court has found the program was unlawful – and that the U.S. intelligence leaders who publicly defended it were not telling the truth.

In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the warrantless telephone dragnet that secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional.

Snowden: Your Money AND Your Life

Submitted by Edward Snowden via Continuing Ed,

1. This week’s news, or “news,” about the US Treasury’s ability, or willingness, or just trial-balloon troll-suggestion to mint a one trillion dollar ($1,000,000,000,000) platinum coin in order to extend the country’s debt-limit reminded me of some other monetary reading I encountered, during the sweltering summer, when it first became clear to many that the greatest impediment to any new American infrastructure bill wasn’t going to be the debt-ceiling but the Congressional floor.

That reading, which I accomplished while preparing lunch with the help of my favorite infrastructure, namely electricity, was of a transcript of a speech given by one Christopher J. Waller, a freshly-minted governor of the United States’ 51st and most powerful state, the Federal Reserve.

The subject of this speech? CBDCs—which aren’t, unfortunately, some new form of cannabinoid that you might’ve missed, but instead the acronym for Central Bank Digital Currencies—the newest danger cresting the public horizon.

Robert A. Heinlein

“Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.”

Edward Snowden

“If you try to confiscate my guns, I will feel compelled to give them to you, one bullet at a time.”
