'State of Surveillance' with Edward Snowden and Shane Smith (VICE on HBO: Season 4, Episode 13) 

A lot of the people see him as a hero. It's just the government that see's him as a traitor.

Word!

Ditto

You know who else thinks Edward Snowden is a hero? Green Party USA presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein. How many other USA presidential candidates think that? zero.

Julian Assange?

why ?

+Franklin Ugo Because they're saying that their freedom doesn't matter. A lot of good people paid for our liberty with their lives and those who don't appreciate that don't deserve my respect.

+Franklin Ugo think about if a cop stood by every window in your house at all times. would you be mad even though you have nothing to hide?

hiding in plain site, it won't be them who the nsa's going to be keeping a close eye on

1000 Miles Freedom doesn't guarantee safety. I would rather plan to protect myself instead of relying on the police/ government for protection.

At least China tells people they censor and watch the people .....us does too yet won't admit it

We supposedly have the right to vote on them nonetheless know about em

@@Theonlymayz I wouldn't go that far. If you think our MSM is bad, you've never seen CCP propaganda.

Exactly.

That's not the right way to think about it: We are CITIZENS. The GOVERNMENT has the DUTY to tell us what they do with the power that we allow them.

Oh yea.

True they have the skills to combat it..

@@ryang4071 Anyone can gain the skills. As Snowden mentions he's just an ordinary guy, he stepped up because no one did. But anyone can learn skills, be a patriot and do what's right. He acted out to motivate others to be do so, because that way then there are many doing it, not just one.

Only if u have feelings

Snowden yeah, Assange can go fuck himself. Wikileaks contained dangerous information but Assange didn't care at all. On the other hand, Snowden knew he wasn't skilled enough to correctly assess the information he was reveilling and the consequences of said reveal, and so he handed everything to journalists, who on the contrary knew and know what they're doing. That's foundamentally different

I mean but what he revealed wasn't really a secret lol

+Horus Ra but he kinda confirmed it

snowden is a also a leftis.woopiseee

No, he is not. If you believe this, it just proves how unintelligent you are when making purchases.

+ClearedCrayon indeed

Geovany Franco hahahahahaha. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

If Jesus came back today I’m sure there’d be a pack of motherfuckers who’d do the same thing to him like the last time. Jesus 2.0 would be just as fucked up.

So am I a fan thanks

they made a SHARP turn left to “wokeness” and never recovered

They got caught

Lol

But throw away phones. Breaking bad

Jon Johansson Same thing I said.

i said exactly the same thing..."o shit" uncle donald will definitely flip that switch

marshal law boys!

we have that individual rifht now

The software was named Flexispy.

No, the video just watched you. If you're not a person of interest, no one cared. If you are, its been red flagged.

Shill?

Haha

Yep..they watch that too

Now you broke the matrix

LMAO. 😂

TheTroutman85 Mr.robot for you

hahaha me too

Shoot wipe out everyone’s debt lol

A 850 plz

that is exactly what kills me , he risked is life and had to leave his family and everything and lives in secrecy , and most of the people i know who know about this and the state of surveillance , just have that 'Mehhhh as long as i don't use the dark web to buy drugs or make it to help me build bombs. I'm safe' TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT. Like how the NSA had a ready malware like Nitro Zeus ready to wipe out entire Grid network , comms channels , power facilites etc of a country and invade it at will , making any country look like sitting ducks to be shot at. Same goes for all data that can be monitored can also be stolen by a third party for malicious activity. In india for example , the UIDAI (Unique identification authority of india) something like the social security number , holding data like thumb print , bio metric , face scan , signature , address etc was leaked and is still available online for sale at a mere 7 dollars. Entire nation's citizen critical data was sold and is still available online for a mere 7 dollars! And no one gave a single fc# , just a day of news (exactly a single day) , and then vanished. Govt was like 'Mehh shit happens...' , Really couldn't understand how a nation full of engineers and doctors who are exported globally and well educated , took it sooooo casually. Extreemly felt bad for snowden . All the sacrifice done in vague for the majority nut megs that live in the world , and love and encourage oppression and be oppressed knowingly / unknowingly .

O we fucking care alright there just trying to portray that we don't.

@@_AlphaCentauri_ ummmmmm wat is the point

Epitomised (sorry I have to stop laughing at being my cynical self sometimes so I firstly do apologise lol) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9zCkM6GQuXg.html when he in this interview says (Tommy Robinson) phones I chuckled at least to myself, he'd be scared if I explained some of this at least to him pmsl. Heck it'd not surprise me if they've used some of this on him! Least I know Brian Harvey's being 100% legit with the stuff he talks about!

I care. The information Snowden released gives us a heads up on this twisted fucks

are you saying a woman couldn't have done it?

FoodforThought yes

FoodforThought Are you saying a woman doesn't have ovaries?

Timothy Moynihan and a savior, he save the world from Nazi surveillance system.

We need to have a Snowden Holiday. True Patriot!

Chris Fulop yes, a celebration for Edward Snowden

More American than any public official that’s sure

RACKETBALL I doubt it. They are raping our rights.

www.ice.gov/predator

RACKITBALL what makes you think they haven't

nope, they blackmail them into being politicians who are guaranteed obedient. This is a global pattern.

They're the child traffickers and terrorists

He is a hero

Yea its the die hard military patriots and politicians that view him as an enemy. Most americans look at him as a hero.

En the Nsa Shold be regarded as an renegade agency,

I do regard him as such. A true modern hero and role model!

TOTALLY AGREE! Sadly, the government that the Americans have is corrupt beyond belief and would probably would never praise a man who betrayed them even if he stood up for Americans' rights. But he is surely an incredibly courageous guy!

Isn't that such a beautiful quote?

Sounds like a *hoarding* issue ... They need to contact Marie Kondo, lol.

It's a very good reflection of dis-economy of scale. Very well said from Snowden

Like the character young Sheldon saying, "when u underline everything, itz like u underline nothing"

ever heard of data mining

I always fart on my phone microphone 🤣 I always wonder if NSA hears it annoys them

Correction: microphone (s)

I put black tape over camera bothsides

@@davidjohnston21 yap thts me too but i cant figure how to stop or switch off the microphones

That might be because we have crippled and hogtied the NSA. They stopped the program. NSA metadata analysis is capable of preventing terrorism. If Orlando perp was on a 'track' list NSA could gain wealth of info.

He was investigated twice by the FBI. NSA, CIA and FBI don't communicate with each other. What would have stopped this attack is the shooter not being able to legally buy and assault rifle just days before he did this whilst being a suspected hate group and terrorist sympathizer.

Nothing special at 22-minute mark, so maybe you could be specific for all us "retards".

I'll paraphrase; Snowden: The Whitehouse appointed two independent commissions...to review mass surveillance programs...they looked at the evidence and found that despite this going on since 2001 (mass surveillance) IT HAD NEVER STOPPED A SINGLE TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE UNITED STATES. Smith: That's a huge point!... So two independent commissions from the Whitehouse came to the conclusion that Mass surveillance does not work. Snowden the goes on to explain that the reason they keep mass surveillance is because they know that if they stop and there is a terrorist attack - which they know is inevidable - then their political opponents will blame them for it for political mileage because politics in this age is completely fear-based.

+danzoil you know what damn they've stopped some people already so quit with your bullshit it works man, do you think it might have had a chance stopping Omar?

Sabrina Sanchez truth

the only problem is that society has no say

Hugo Ogilvie yeah we do, like giving our 2nd amendment away, voting for people who support a controlling government, and not taking a stand

Very true

The exact quote is as follows: "those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." circa 1763. It was written on behalf of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, regarding a tax dispute between the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the family of the Penns, the proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony who ruled it from afar. And the legislature was trying to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense during the French and Indian War. And the Penn family kept instructing the governor to veto. Franklin felt that this was a great affront to the ability of the legislature to govern. And so he actually meant purchase a little temporary safety very literally. The Penn family was trying to give a lump sum of money in exchange for the General Assembly's acknowledging that it did not have the authority to tax it.

Doors wide open

Why aren't you follow the first part of the Constitution "We the People"?

War Don I don't understand your meaning. We the people are our own government, and we have allowed this to happen. We have allowed a lot of things to happen, much to our shame. That is why I say we are cowards for allowing this. I really thought President Obama was going to bring accountability back to the presidency - that he would hold himself accountable to us, as it should be. But it should be so because we demand it, not because he promises it. We failed. Again. Do we deserve this democracy anymore? Given the candidates running in our next presidential election, I don't think things are going to get better any time soon.

I remember when Obama was making promises about doing things like ending the Patriot Act and a friend acted like if you vote for him he's going to "fight the man". I was telling him that Obama has a Harvard law degree. He knew the Patriot Act was seditious and unconstitutional when he voted for it. He's 100% for globalist police state tyranny. Some folks rely on emotion rather than logic to pick who to vote for so they'll never listen to the logic. This is why they make appeals to emotion and how upset you are about policies, without ever telling you of a better one, or demonstrating the will to actually change things. It's sad that you fell for the rhetoric, but it's encouraging that you didn't just nod in agreement when he said this is okay and "You have to trust your government". Maybe you understand now that the left and right are just different boots on the same thug and will stop supporting the beast. Unfortunately third parties can be just as complicit so we really need an overhaul of the system and new ideas.

Is it possible that Obama is a puppet?

Auntie Robyn Who's puppet? He seems to be the puppet master to me, if anything. But I suppose anything's possible. Bob Bobage It is horribly painful for me to face the fact that emotion did play into my decision to vote for Obama for his second term. I pride myself as a thoughtful man, and I try hard to think critically about what our candidates say. I take my responsibility as a voter very seriously. And he didn't say we had to trust our government. He told us we need to participate in our government. Well, I still think he was the better candidate from the major parties, but my emotionality at that point is what told me he was still different when his first term wasn't exactly what he'd promised. He'd spent a lot of time not fulfilling his promises - not until election season came around. I'm sure he didn't start this domestic surveillance, but instead of being the president who did a lot of things that I wanted our president to do (and he did), I will always remember him as the president who actually defended that domestic surveillance. That was a severe violation of my trust and our freedom. I can't get past that. I can't forgive that. Why did I think he would be different? That's a disturbing question at a personal level, because I can't answer it. I don't know what it was about him that made me trust him, and that disturbs me. It's obvious that Hillary won't be any different from any other president we've ever had, and IMO Trump would be a fresh face, but a serious danger to world peace and stability, let alone domestic tranquillity. Do I vote for the one I don't really trust, or do I vote for the megalomaniac who might nuke the first country that challenges his greatness? I can trust Trump. He is very predictable and very simple. I can trust him to make a disaster of things. I can't think of any 3rd party candidates whom I would trust either. Most of them seem to know a lot about one issue, or a small set of issues, and they lack the organization to competently run an administration. I hate this election year. I first voted in 1984, and this is by far the worst choice of candidates I have ever seen. I hope in 2020 we can flush them all away and start over. But we all still need to vote. Important house and senate seats are up for grabs, and in my district the candidates for those seats are a LOT better than the presidential candidates.

dontworry boutit I'd be more worried about the guy who doesn't like to use his real name on the Internet.

Parker Thompson what are you hiding? Your face?

***** I'm not the one with a dirty phone lol

dontworry boutit you might want to watch the documentary 1 more time bud but try using your brain this time around.

***** stay away from kids

Wow finally some real truth. Sweet!

Have you seen the Documentary " The internet's own boy"? it's about Aaron Swartz and is free here on RU-vid.

rip Aaron ;(

Thank you my friend, you made my day.

aboyapart Dude was a SJW though?

How "social justice warrior" became an insult I will never understand.

Frida Solo Odds are he wont get kids. For some reason many smart people dont want to get kids. But a lot of the religious people do. Which slowly but steadily replaces our population with religious people who lack reason and critical thinking. :(

Im one of those "religious: people but as stupid as you "enlightened ones" tend to describe us at the very least we know that intelligence are inherited from the mother and emotional and physical traits from their fathers.

Frida Solo you can never be financially stable because the currency that you used its own by the government , They will destroy you and take everything you have if you are a threat

contactkeithstack I learned about it in 2nd period today

imJefweefee so we're the ones that don't care ? they kill innocents for their own benefit , Who doesn't care ?

actually there was a case with some terrorists and fbi asked apple for help. this docu was long time ago.

Do the people at Apple think the American people are this dumb? We are all watched illegally no matter what phone you have and the people committing treason are getting away with it.

incentz ha

lol

That guy is just brilliant, he had me hooked on this documentary, every word he said was true, I honestly can't respect that guy enough

who do you respect. snowden or the channel

I am worried about the quality of your social circles. That being said I do not understand how anyone can watch an interview of him and not see he is a compassionate human, and the fact he is labeled a criminal is alarming.

I HAVE NO SOCIAL CIRCLE. I JUST LIFT WEIGHTS EVERYDAY. TODAY I WATCHED LUTHER 2003 FULL MOVIE.

+hashem fawzy Snowden the supposed criminal

I have my phone unlocked with a picture message of me holding my dick labeled my dick as my background, and i'm american. kek

Makes sense now

Exactly!!

The government are a pack of cunts.

People always agree when you say "truth is stranger than fiction", but when you say that they are doing very evil things they come up with every excuse on their behalf, why?!

I see you.

shit man thats deep

they already have hit that problem. Too much data, nothing to do with it.

+Matapatapa No problem. Have you heard about Big Data Analysis?

+Alan De Anda That's more a corporate thing, and to my limited knowledge it's only with regards not that large variety of info compared to the wide range of data a intelligence agency collects.

saw this 3 days ago

They do this like every week on HBO you know

Don't rejoice too much. For every 1 good video, they will produce dozens of shit videos

They air the good shit on HBO. Tune in if you want good shit.

If this was 1984, you'd be in prison for thought crimes by now.

as a heads up. 1984 being written in 1948, George Orwell was complaining of the police state as it existed then. he just reversed the last two digits to make it a Sci-fi novel.

be patient. its coming

Dong Harvey He was warning the west not to embrace the oligarchical collectivist ideals of China, the soviet union and Nazi Germany. "The Police State" is a fairly recent hyperbolic leftist concept used by hormonal upper middle class campus liberals to complain about not being able to mouth off at police officers with impunity, thus being indicative of living within an Orwellian dystopia.

Snowden knew that Trump would be president! I wonder if he has the lottery numbers for next week ;)

Obinna Africa a hero that put thousands of military personnel protected you around the world in grave danger. To me that's a RAT.

+TDOT 4LIFE He exposed how the US government was spying on its people. That doesn't affect any military personnel overseas. And I question the "defending" the US has been doing the past couple years, in fact, the past couple decades.

Yeah, he's a hero for the young, uneducated, unruly delinquents around the world. Snowden is now working for the Russian Intelligence to pay for Russian government securities protecting him 24/7, accommodation, visa etc. And probably is finishing his high-school diploma since he dropped out of high-school as he's admitted many times himself.

*Russian Jarhead* LOL... do you know that Snowden dropped out of high-school? Did you know that he knows nothing about computer programming or hacking? Oh, I guess you learned about him through the movie and social media? It's mostly fictitious. He was an IT help desk at NSA, that's how he stole the information and leaked it. The things that you see him here disconnecting integrated camera of a phone are kids stuff...lol. Most high school kids know this stuff. It's a know brainer. If you don't believe me look it up. I knew he was fake because he always dodged the more technical questions.

Pietje Puk no government, 2020.

The CIA doesn't really do spying on regular people, they typically handle things like threats to national security. It's the NSA that you are thinking of. :)

Can someone please answer this for me, say if one of these agencies unlawfully use spyware on your technology, and actually find criminal or terroristic activity; how can this info/evidence be admissible in a court of law?????

CIA isnt gonna spy on you...its illegal for them to do anything inside the USA its NSA your talking about

The Obama administration intercepted the Trump campaign's communications on the basis of one false document claiming Donald Trump was recorded peeing on prostitutes in a hotel in Moscow. That was actually the reason for the FISA request, and as Snowden calls it, the "yes" committee, they said "yes" and allowed all of the Trump campaign's communications to be captured.
