1. Absolutely wow! And now I need to find this book. Thanks for this post.

Without Snowdon and the internet we'd never have known.

2. Huge K&R for Mr. Scheer

I still miss his voice from the Los Angeles Times.

3. another shady deal

The thing elites fear most is exposure, that's why they have to spy on you, to see what you know.

4. Explains why they were all hell-bent to get our medical files on-line.

Never made sense to me at the time. Much to ponder with this new perspective.

5. THIS WAS EXCELLENT!

A review of history for many of us, and told with accuracy.

The group here at DU who demonizes Greenwald, and in particular what Snowden DID, need to watch this in it's entirely!

You think they will? Rhetorical Question, marmar…One that you and I know the answer to.

Truth to power. I'll be looking for Scheer's book, too.

6. K&R. Excellent talk. Explains it so well.

7. The public and private combination is very fascist

Our government's out of control spy arm wants to control you so it joins forces with Microsoft, ATT and every other corporation to get every little bit of information on you. Now watch what you say, watch what you do because the corporate state will use it against you.
