The behavior you're currently engaged in could easily be contrued as a crush...or harassment.

Well okay, I never would of thought of that. Whatever you say, big boy.




...or harassment.

Yeah, you came here for the express purpose of trolling. You got caught and now I'm the harasser. Man, you really are lazy.






Nice try, Mr. Incompetent.

It's nice that it won the Oscar, but awards don't end the surveillance state. Too bad Snowden's sacrifice had the opposite effect of what he hoped.

Snowden's Revelations Have Strengthened the NSA

The manner of disclosure adopted by Lord Greenwald & Friends, a model of a polite, rules-abiding challenge to authority, has stopped exactly nothing. To the contrary, the primary effect of the disclosures has been to normalize increasingly pervasive, all-encompassing surveillance, and even to make it "legal." (http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2014/04/call-me-irresponsible-please.html)

But ultimately that's on Boobus.

Boobus doesn't read the news that we do. They are still largely in the dark about the extent of the surveillance. This film lays it all out, and more of them will see it as a result of the Oscar, so I'm happy for that. But Boobus being Boobus, many of them will rationalize it away. But a small percentage just might be put on the path toward awakening, and the thought of that is worth celebrating.

[Lucille]

I actually don't believe that they are unaware. But hope springs eternal, and I'll hope that the NSA's favorability drops post Oscar.

The MSM lies to them. It's just metadata....

[NewRightLibertarian]

We have to leverage our irate, tireless minority and make them as radicalized and extreme as possible before the economy collapses. There is no other way. These zombies are beyond hope or redemption.

Maybe we're not in a total police state after all given he hasn't been "disappeared" / jailed / droned yet?

Seems the US still has some freedom if you're a famous journalist and a US citizen with dirt on people in power.

With regard to the strategies Lord Greenwald has adopted for this spectacle, and given his notable alliance with Omidyar, Greenwald is not opposed to the State in any fundamental way. No. In connection with every issue of consequence, Greenwald is the State. Omidyar is the State. (In the same manner, and as I shall explain, Amazo n is the State. PayPal is the State. Google is the State. And so on.) That this is not widely recognized, and that it is not viewed as uncontroversial in the same way two plus two are four is uncontroversial -- and still worse, that many people, including most liberals and self-styled radicals, credit the PR and believe Greenwald's astoundingly outrageous claims to be true -- is eloquent testimony to the shattering stupidity of the commentary class. I cannot think of a more powerful, all-encompassing example of shockingly self-cultivated ignorance and perversely dedicated dumbness in my 66 fucking years on this planet.

If anyone appreciates Arthur and has a little to spare, please donate (http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2015/02/not-so-casual-this-time.html). He is in a very bad way and is Grigg endorsed, if that helps:


Like many of you, I have been both infuriated and edified by the writings of Arthur Silber, who is enduring both severe health crises and is under assault by the IRS. He is likewise eminently worthy of support (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?445155-Will-Grigg-is-being-evicted).

We are Edward Snowden, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald from the Oscar-winning documentary CITIZENFOUR. AUAA. (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2wwdep/we_are_edward_snowden_laura_poitras_and_glenn/)

One thing Snowden taught me... or I should say reinforced what I already knew... is that many if not most Republicans are retarded thanks to the lasting effects of McCarthyism.

Here's a summary of what so many Republicans I encounter have to say about Snowden.

He's a traitor because he's in RUSSIA! Russia is the devil. Snowden is a communist. Putin. PUTIN. PUTIN!

Thank you so much John Birch Society and Joseph McCarthy. This is your legacy. Republicans don't give a damn about the fourth amendment. They are only interested in the MURICAN empire.

If Snowden stayed home and went to prison he would have just as much effect at changing the NSA tactics as he had already. Nothing. But he'd be in prison and Republicans could sleep soundly knowing that government secrets are safe.

I dunno if it is McCarthyism or the JBS necessarily. These republican sheep are authoritarians and will spew any bullshit to protect their political masters.

Where else was Snowden supposed to go where he wouldn't have been extradited? Ask them that?

As far as McCarthy goes, he was largely correct in his findings but he wasn't able to see that this conspiracy was far grander than international communism.

I suppose I should say the Cold War in general has warped American's minds about Russia and the point I'm making is that the lasting effects of it are visible when the subject of Snowden comes up.

There could be a real debate about whether the US or Russia has more freedom. Both are socialist countries with too many laws and regulations. Russia might win the debate just based on lack of enforcing those laws and regulations compared to the US.
