It isn't quite the same, because freedom of speech is necessary for dissent making these particular persecutions especially egregious but in effect, people imprisoned for using substances are also political prisoners. Using substances isn't hurting others, they're just imprisoned because of the political decision to imprison those who dissent from the political philosophies that find that imprisonment convenient or desirable.

Bureacracy Now and it's wee little cherry-pick. Except Chris Hedges and Snowden Edward, all the rest are part of a giant speculation machine, which adds upto nothing but fleeting profits and donations. No one really cares about Assange, as much as they care about the economy around him...

Given his erratic behavior, I'm not too surprised. Glenn has these weird Twitter breakdowns nearly every week where he defends the far right and leaked private messages with Chelsea Manning to get back at her because they had a disagreement. He would throw Snowden under the bus too if he gets his feelings hurt by him.

A very important discussion, indeed. Thank you to all whistle-blowers, journalists and people of integrity everywhere. Probity is rapidly being overridden by the weak nature of meism and the associated corruption and greed. This has become increasingly obvious since the time of this conversation. Thank you all - and long live Democracy Now.

Around the 3:00 minute mark, Snowden mentions the difference between those in U.S. government jobs paid directly by the government and those working for private contractors - the private contract workers make more money. Privatization of public services is a core issue in the vast increase in corruption in DC and in the hearts of our people - in the degradation of public service. Snowden is a remarkable public servant - despite having worked for a private contractor. He gave it all up - including his personal freedom and security - in order warn us about government surveillance.
@MrArtVein 2 роки тому
Go back and watch the movie about him. It's not necessarily the privatization of govt jobs, it's the freedom that govt contractors have because they aren't direct hires. The govt hires these contractors because they can get away with killing unarmed innocent citizens via drone because they think a video camera is a gun. And while these folks gather the spaghetti-ed brains of their brother and what's left of his body into a bucket, the govt turns their head sever all ties and act like they don't know what happened. True story. This actually happened
@treebrother 2 роки тому
Thank you Democracy Now for having these courageous souls on and allowing them to tell their stories. It is so imperative at this present time where we have been incrementally losing the greatest tool for freedom in modern times. A free Internet. We have been so caught up in political drama that we have lost sight of just how much has been lost over the last two decades.
