Is there a Nobel Prize for having Balls ?

If there is I think that this might be more appropriate tbh.

Peace Prize and I'm thinking Mahatme Ghandi - Edward Snowden and I'm thinking principled, moral, courageous - but not necessarily peace though.

I don't know where they got that idea from, he's succeeded in making everyone more uncomfortable using modern communications infrastructure, and the solutions are not yet convincing enough to get back the privacy everyone thought they had. He probably won't win the prize anyway (and the whole thing is pretty invalid anyway, Henry Kissinger won for war crimes, Barack Obama won for being elected the first black US president and consequently committed war crimes and imperialistic killings, and Alfred Nobel was an arms manufacturer. This prize has a real peaceful pedigree)

Is it? It means nothing. They gave this award to Barack Obama a few years ago. It's a joke.

That would be a good thing if he did, so yeah.

Isn't spying against the laws of the country they're spying on? And did he actually leak info on spies? Pretty sure he didn't.

I can tell lots of "newbies" are pro NSA on a bitcoin forum... Strange.

First of all not US secrets are out yet. Nothing about Bigfoot, Area 51, who shot JFK or what company did the demolition job by installing multiple tons of TNT near people's office for days before 9/11... Smiley

adjust basically every post in here to end with "...according to Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian"


Why didn't The Guardian, or Glenn Greenwald, or Laura Poitras show any interest in publishing the previous NSA whistleblowers? Who said everything Snowden said and more, and who still live in the US, some of whom have never been charged with any offense?

I'm not saying there's a definitive answer to these questions, but there's more to it than what's in any news reporting, that should be pretty obvious.

It says the uploader has made this unavailable in your country; yet a random look at other vids from ARD shows nothing similar. I see no reason that the German station would ban it, given that the interview is in English.

That shit is so rigged, wouldn't even surprise me if he won. Whistleblowing seems to be the latest years hot topic.

Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.

I don't know where they got that idea from, he's succeeded in making everyone more uncomfortable using modern communications infrastructure, and the solutions are not yet convincing enough to get back the privacy everyone thought they had.
Snowden made everyone's communications seem more important than they actually are, and his methods were entirely non-violent. The dubious honor of constant surveillance is not only awarded to technical specialists, public figures, and the wealthy, but also to Blogger Bob and Opinionated Alice. You just need to type or say any of these words in any context:

Quote
[... ...]

Yes, saying "Bubba the Love Sponge" will get your post flagged for domestic terrorism.

That's quite a list (I don't even know what over half of it means. How does saying "football" qualify? Some kind of domestic militia codeword!?)

From looking at the developments in places like Greece, Brazil and Ukraine in the last 12 months, I wouldn't be surprised if "rioters" and "extremist political activists" becomes the reason given that everyone's communications get monitored, whether they use "listed" words/expressions or not.  

Which is another way of saying that we're likely under those conditions already. Would anyone actually believe it if the NSA annnounced: "all domestic surveillance of all types is now switched off, it was morally wrong after all. Sorry about that everybody"?

I remember reading about that a while back, think we need a global ban on nukes. If countries want to fight/invade each other, they should only use hand-to-hand combat, kinda like a royal rumble but without the steroids and cheesy music.
