On the two-year anniversary of when his leaks detailing secret spy operations at the National Security Agency first emerged, landing like a thunderclap around the world, the former intelligence contractor appears more confident than ever that his actions have permanently altered the surveillance debate.

"The balance of power is beginning to shift," Snowden said in a statement provided to select news organizations by Amnesty International and Privacy International. "With each court victory, with every change in law, we demonstrate facts are more convincing than fear."

Snowden has good reason to be riding high after the Senate broke a logjam this week to pass the first significant reform to government surveillance practices since the nation began supercharging its spying powers after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The USA Freedom Act, which was swiftly signed into law by President Obama, will effectively end the NSA's bulk collection of U.S. call data—the first program exposed by a Snowden-fueled article in The Guardian on June 5, 2013.

But the Freedom Act only deals significantly with one of the NSA's many spying operations—one that has been deemed illegal by a federal appeals court, ineffective by two government review panels and not even that desired by some high-ranking officials.

Julian Assange (Wikileaks) and Edward Snowden are NWO con-men!

A news source called "tomato bubble" is a step closer to satire or bullshit that I'm willing to consider.

I'm not sure that balance of power has shifted, I don't see signs of it, but it takes longer than two years to see these types of swings anyway. It has been great to see the US administration respond to the secrets that Snowden disclosed. This kid's a real example for those that do want to change the establishment.
