The quote of a true hero.

+Jesus Velarde I'm sure every suicide bomber said the same thing

john golden The difference is that Edward Snowden actually did what is right.

Being forced into hiding reflects not only on the ACT that was committed, but on how society (or, those in CHARGE of the society) PERCEIVE that act. Galileo suffered a similar fate for promoting an idea which today is disputed only by the ignorant.

There should be a time frame of invasion

It's the world we've always lived in. Telling the truth to many people quickly has never been easier since it was much more simple to silence whistle blowers in the past. With the age of information we are in, we have a huge advantage if we all come together and fight for our rights. We cannot be silenced any longer, and Mr. Snowden is the most admirable figure in this respect. Let's all follow his example and not let the world leaders treat us as cattle.

Lori Quaresimo Well just us knowing is enough to force governments into further transparency. And from that transparency, voting opportunities should arise. Voting is the best way to make ourselves heard for now since marching the streets won't do a whole lot with obama in "charge".

Lori Quaresimo Yes, but the most important thing is to get people in power that believe in science. The greatest problem is that our leaders (I'm canadian and our leaders are no different) are anti science and will not prioritize effectively. This whole "war on terror" would be handled much differently if it were handled by competent uncorrupted leaders. Voting makes a huge difference and the only reason it's so easy to corrupt is the small margins won by. If more people voted, the margins would be harder to fudge (atleast that is true in Canada. Not too briefed on my American current events).

Lori Quaresimo I'm not informed enough to speak confidently on that, no.

The line of division between the good and the evil runs through every person's heart. You cannot cure it by application of laws, rules, restrictions, governments and shifting responsibility for all from you to them. It's always been and always will be individual. Until the day people begin to understand their own nature, a direction which is the exact opposite than the one we, as the human race, are following right now, the world will always be like this. Because we do not recognize or care to get to know ourselves, we blindly expand ourselves outwardly and all of our ideas are inherently contaminated with the brokenness of our understanding of our nature. Smart people will be ridiculed as insane. Good people will be portrayed as evil and we will believe whatever we are told, because we draw from information provided to us from the outside world rather than taking a time with ourselves and our common sense and ability to question things to reach our own conclusions. No man needs another man to govern him. And as Buddha said: _depend on yourself._ مكتوب

Halo

We need to be pushed. I mean look at Israel. Either fight or perish.

I thought the initial applause was pathetic, this man has put his life on the line to bring us the truth, people give more praise and adoration for “celebrity “ it’s really r e a l l y sad that people cannot stand up for quality people

It's just that he's one of those rare people who survived and succeeded in doing what's right

Applause is overrated

I think he will in time. The world is still a little too hostile towards him.

+lysol5555 For exposing the NSA? Tf how is that peaceful? If nobody even knew the NSA was watching us that is in fact more peaceful.

+lil moco No, because he's committed an act of selflessness to help protect the American people from having to face a rogue government where their consent and privacy is taken away from them. Ignorance is bliss, but choosing to remain ignorant as opposed to making positive change for the future is akin to cowardice. The NSA and the enactment of the Patriot Act may not seem like a big deal to some at the moment, but that doesn't mean that it won't become more problematic as time passes, and Snowden is trying to change this issue around so that it doesn't become a bigger issue than it already is, say, ten or twenty years down the line.

***** Lmao what/who are you even talking to?

+lil moco tf are u talking about?! it's like saying kill me without telling me so I won't be afraid.... u r stupid af

I totally agree with Russ McClay his assessment is profound

Very well put. And yes, this level of clear thinking and articulation is indicative of an extremely well functioning brain to say the least.

People get angry when their dark evil secrets are revealed and yet, they confront with their nature. Those accusers have murdered Snowden already in their head and yet, it was in secret because they are afraid to acknowledge others of their actions. Something is badly wrong.

Jayzee Zee And you're certain that these are the activites that show we're being tracked? But how do you know for certain that we are...? Oh, wait. It's because Snowden revealed that we were being spied on. You can call him a "scumbag", but you wouldn't be saying this right now with such certainty if it wasn't for him. Before he released his reports, it was only unconfirmed speculation, and you would likely be called a conspiracy theorist. At least we now know that it's happening.

Jayzee Zee Are you saying that you want your info tracked?

Do you at least not see a single possible way it caused some harm? No one is denying that what the government did was wrong and needed to somehow be exposed or stopped or be accountable. But that and other information benefited enemies of the US, including military standpoints.

Probably already were.

Welcome to the list! Nice having you here!

if you have interests that would allow for you to come to a video like this naturally, chances are that you already are on a list. Though of course such is the life of living in a pre-dictatorial era; just remember that anything you say or do today can and will be used against you in any way they can 'reasonably justify' in absolutely any kangaroo court of law in the future, especially if the power of these alphabet soup agencies continue to grow.

We aren't giving them information, their taking it without permissions or warrants. There's the rub.

Thats right, TAKE OFF THE MASKS! Its a hidden agenda and subliminal message to shut up! They are telling us that none of our lives matter and anyone that questions their perceived authority will be silenced. They are trying to take their crimes against humanity to the grave, they are telling us its not going to be their grave. The truth is they are the ones that should face the firing squad for all the lives they have already taken starting with War Crimes, Treason, Genocide, 1000 forms of Fear, Fraud and Deception, Murder, Identity Theft, Lack of Fiduciary Duty, Insider Trading, Extorton, Collusion...they have broken every law ever written under the color of law. They wrote the laws to protect and preserve their way of life with intentional disregard for our Constitutional Rights pertaining to Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness of the Greater Good. This is NOT the Republic of the United States. If you bought into the Social Security Act and you have a Debt Slave a NINE digit bank number... You are a dead person (fictional entity ALL CAPS straw man)identified by the above slave number and your wet ink foot print and finger print on that certificate of birth was buried at sea. Giving them the power and control of everything you think you own. You don't even own the right to defend yourself in their dry dock court rooms. Our lives don't exist in their eyes or on any document. Your life and any wages you earn are their assets. Its a real sticky web they wove. We are defined in Black's Law Dictionary as the ENEMY of the state you reside in and every state under their jurisdiction incompassed in the Corporation of the United States. This can all be verified if you take the time to educate yourself. Don't believe what I say do your own Due Diligence. You are all God's and have the same powers to create everything you desire including a life of heaven here on this earth. This land is our land given to us all by our creator. Take back your powers! Wake up! Stop allowing them to divide and conquer us! Snowden should get many awards including a purple heart. Convict the real war criminals....the politicians that are bought out!

when the government thinks you work for them there is something very wrong.

Dont give em an inch if they ask for the hand and especially take the arm.. Certain people are so dangerous they are banned from entire countries for a reason..

It's funny ... Stalin was a freemason.

I think he took refuge in Italy... The Italian President/whatever said "to protect against American Imperialism...!"

Mikasa Pinata I hope Italy does let Snowden go there. I am an American and Snowden is one of our own and it is nice that the people of my country, not all by more and more by the day, are waking up and realizing the damage the American Empire is causing around the world. I hope Snowden lives a happy and peaceful life and this damn country needs to leave him alone. Period. good day to you sir :)

Zachary Gafanhao Amanda Knox might beg to differ. I hope they both live a happy, peaceful life, but I wouldn't count on Italy to do provide that.

Tongass Tower After his asylum is up in Russia, he should become a citizen or something. He needs to avoid being prosecuted by the American Empire.

Zachary Gafanhao Indeed.

This guy is about the furthest from brave as one can get.

Carlehs Icasas explain

Lord SkimmelToe he can't because he's full of shit.

Steven Lopez Full of shit? El oh el. Sorry, but "snitching" on something that literally affected NO ONE, no one at all(not a SINGLE person was affected AT ALL), and running away to Russia before you do it so you don't get in trouble for doing something ILLEGAL(and again, affected NO ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in the slightest), does not make a brave person. It just doesn't.

It's about like calling someone who robbed a bank and ran away to Mexico in 1850 "brave."

Everybody knows the government spies on us, it's a no brainer, you don't need to a conspiracy theorist.

actually, if someone mentioned this to YOU three years ago, you would have denied it and called the person who attempted to wake you up 'a conspiracy theorist'... Now that it is revealed, you act like you knew all along. Hilarious!

***** "you would have denied it" A lot of mental gymnastics and condescending were involved in thinking that only you were enlightened enough to even question the governments around world. Us, simpletons and plebs? Nah, totally incapable of questioning authority. Seriously, if you're not that a 10-year-old babby and have read a thing or two about geopolitics, governments doing illegal and immoral things should come as no surprise, with or without the Snowden revelation. That said, the man's a hero for managing to present the factual evidence of state surveillance. P.S. About the "you act like you knew all long" bit - /pol/ sends its regards.

***** "if someone mentioned this to YOU three years ago, you would have denied it and called the person who attempted to wake you up 'a conspiracy theorist'" Not really.

***** No. As Addison M said, you don't need conspiracy theorists. That there are people with good and bad intent in the world is a basic knowledge. Even more basic for a person that understands polarities of energies and that the good cannot exists without the bad and vice verse. And if you go even further and realize that goodness and evilness are just veils of our superimposition over the reality of human nature we delude ourselves from...then it's not a question of _if or if not_, but just of _when and where will it happen again?_

Lol, I wrote a book about that

Josh Diaz what book?

the NSA, CIA or FBI can make anyone disappear without leaving any trace leading back to them. Snowden could die in an accident arranged by them and it would not look like they killed him...

Ha funny can find FBI in comments. Still waiting for answers 😔

I agree that Snowden should be pardoned of all charges and his name cleared of treason, especially in light of the federal court ruling that the government’s mass surveillance was in fact illegal. But do you think he could ever be safe if he returned to the US?

I see that Ed Snowden is now using earbuds :-)

Agreed!

He has been hitting the speaking circuit and I bet there are some VERY unhappy people that wish he would just go away.

Sheryl Loch that's why this talk is in Canada, not the US like the one he did last week at SxSW

Archer Ponty Against what? He did, what he did, to make sure you, your kids and siblings could live a safer, more secure & tension-free lives.

That is the deepest bullshit I ever heard. Actual REAL witsleblowers talk about REAL STUFF. Its common knowledge that super computers have existed since WW2 that where powerful enough to record EVERY phone conversation in the whole world. Mind you this is before telephones where even a thing. And all these technologies come from the same source AKA the Nazi's. Also all the company's involved all stem from the same source AKA the Nazi's. So its obvious to assume since before the computer and phone become a commercial item it was already used and I assume invented for the cause of espionage and propaganda. Just like the television was. You can even say that These things where invented to see if the propaganda was working or not and it has also been admitted by the founder of the church of satan that TV and 'the music industry which stems from the cowardly ones trying to cast spells on people that they could otherwise not cast spells on.' Which stems from the Nazi's AKA the people who first started in this age with so called 'coward magic' also known as black magic because they put out a ciggarete in their own heart and are therefore filled with hatred.. AKA coward magic and to weak to stand up for the right thing and love. THE BIGGEST CRITIQUE ON EDWARD SNOW IS THAT HE DOES NOT STAND UP FOR THE CHILDREN. Simply all the people behind the alien satanic reptilian mind control cults are pedofiles and are widely exposed for satanic pedofilia and satanic ritual abuse. THIS IS A FACT AND YOU CAN UKposts ALL THESE TRIGGERTERMS FOR YOURSELF. The nazi's cult I think was called order of the golden dawn (FAKE GOLD) and there are a bunch more. It always connects to pedophilia and therefore is a distraction which I call trowing a dog a bone. Sure they are admitting some stuff that you cannot change anyway unless you submit to mother earth and live in a commune and stop using a cell phone. (Which is the purpose of living on mother earth and the purpose of your soul). So what you are saying is complete bullshit and you better stay off youtube if you fall for the propaganda of a russion robot. I don't care if its edward snowden or steven segal... They even use a telepresense robot as a joke to mess with you. Your kids are not save unless these worldwide cults stop and you stop giving your children away to strangers....

Shreck

Even if he becomes the president, he would be eliminated for sure

You still think US president is the one running yr country.

He would get assassinated within the first half of the campaign.

President Snowden sure does have a ring to it. Then again Snowden is kind of a cool name anyway.

Thomas Paine is a true hero who died without a proper burial and was unrecognized after all he risked for the freedom of Americans and the French Revolution. A shame how Brilliant men like this are Soon forgotten or thrown away once the fighting is over.

WOW" i agree with YOU THAT'S TRUE patriotism ... ....!!! i've looked over so many comments") i realized i'm a little late to the game. I knew about the person. I knew about what took place with what transpire ...but... ... NOT cool to (steal data) from PEOPLE that didn't or won't give you their information"" *OUR government officials* YOU have NO 👎 right to take it as if to steal it Disturbed the government will & , *IT'S OUR government officials that WE elect that turns out to corrupt (OUR government) we have to know this & *SEE THIS* which is very VERY corrupted in the first place how do you pass laws the cheap the poor poor if this isn't a corrupt country please explain why isn't to keep the rich", richer the fragment the poor,, create criminals out of the poor ... ...!

3 centuries have passed between the lives of Paine and Snowden.... it is incredibly discouraging to see how both of these men have been reviled by the masses as welll as those in power. BTW did you know that Thomas Paine first coined the term “United States of America “ All the best to everyone

course he's for real. He's living in asylum with a level of fear which he was totally aware of before he 'blew the whistle'.. big respect to him

***** I'm just generally a skeptic, and I think everyone should be that way in order to be more resistant to bullshit.. but I have to say, for now he seems legit, and if he is legit, I respect him greatly.. so you got it right basically.. ;)

A lot of people have been and are pissed off with the government for their constant inward thinking and short-termism, if anyone really believes the US govt are capable of using Snowden as a future strategic stunt you wanna hit a fucking bong or two

The politicians in the government are short-termists, no doubt about that. But the people behind the governments, the ones that aren't going to go anywhere after elections, are very long termists. During the cold war you had basically spy wars between the US and Russia with spies who infiltrated each other and remained under cover for literally lifetimes, so everything is possible. So, no thanks I don't smoke the bong or whatever you do in US college campuses...

TimmacTR UK mate!! Fuck the US

Actually, he didn't betray anyone, he only exposed the crooks and the politicians who are taking unconstitutional liberties with our freedom.

They had no right to assume that no one would ever expose their crimes-several former CIA employees, for example, have UKposts channels where they reveal abuses of varying degrees which the public must endure....Mr. Snowden happened to have access to a mother load of this behavior, hence he's brought great suspicion on the NSA-thankfully he's still alive!

youre right

I don't call that betrayal, the betrayal was with the government betraying the citizens.
