Glenn Greenwald on the High Cost of Government Secrecy

[@robertcovarrubias1109]

Glenn Greenwald is an excellent journalist and lawyer, He know his stuff. This person is hard to beat, he knows how to answer everything he talk about with excellent evidences and facts.

[@richiedon9133]

the only problem is , with that nose that big, he's probably another liar like most of them

[@NeurozapPaul]

Thank you Bill for the interview,and as always, thank you Glenn for your perspicacity on the falsehoods and hypocrisies of the US government.

[@cmskid20]

I love Glenn Greenwald. So intelligent!

[@PinkDodoDesigns]

I was watching this yesterday and just today the crazy happenings in Woolwich London. It was scary to see how 100% Glenn was.

[@BillMcGirr]

They say the average Liberal stands about 5' 7".... It's hard to believe they can stack shit that high. Glenn Greenwald is the EXCEPTION... A TRUE progressive who is UNAFRAID to call a turd a turd....irregardless of political affiliation. Keep rocking it Glenn. You are bringing the FIRE and the TRUTH.

[@AlwaysLoudAA]

As a Muslim American, I honestly can not agree more to Mr. Greenwald about muslims. EVERY SINGLE THING that he talks about in this video is correct. Bless this man.

[@HisDivineShadow]

A massive change to the system needs to occur and I am honestly unable to contemplate how a people's upheaval would really do much to changes things when the government is not even the ones in charge...

[@ic.xc.]

A nice interviewer, he doesn't interrupt and listens carefully. Good on him.

[@t3hevildonut]

Greenwald and Scahill are national treasures.

[@sanmcnellis94]

Send this to every sleeping, almost everyone, American before your country destroyed.

[@thirdshift47]

I agree. Don't forget Chris Hedges(war,dissent and the corporate state),Matt Taibbi(the intersection between global finance and government),Allan Nairn and Seymour Hersh(US imperial foreign policy and human rights record)Norman Finkelstein(the Israeli occupation),Michelle Alexander and Angel Davis(the prison caste system),David K. Johnston(the regressive US tax code),etc., Alot of very bright,courageous voices out there.

[@pspsolutions]

Amazing video, why doesnt more people understand what they are saying...

[@raffy_rodriguez]

yeah i hadn't thought about it but we do really have amazing access nowadays to important people like greenwald and chomsky that we would have never had access to before

[@marthacmd]

Glenn Greenwald-so glad he is one of the honest intellects- glad I know him I listened ot Shelby Steele- who is on the same scale as Glenn

[@jcwhite1288]

I'm impressed by Moyers, he does not interrupt, he doesn't personally attack Glenn, and poses real questions. Only if this kind of policy/political discussion was culturally relevant and could replace the ORielly/Matthews's of the world.

[@ImphreniousZog]

Well said.

[@HenrikAkselsen]

Moyers and Greenwald. Two of my favorite americans

[@proconsulaugustus]

I never thought I would I love a gay jew. But I LOVE THIS GAY JEW. He's a genius and he's more courageous than 99% of the big muscled macho guys who walk around and think they are tough. Sure. Picking a fight at a bar is different than picking a fight with the most powerful empire the world has ever known. This guy is absolutely brilliant.

[@ic.xc.]

Is GG a jew?

[@lm1584]

+Marçus Keil HES NOT PRACTICING/ORDAINED BUT COMES FROM A JEWISH BACKGROUND. THATS PROBABLY WHY HE HAS NOT BEEN SILENCED BY CORP AMERICA.

[@proconsulaugustus]

Leevi Hinkkala exactly right

[@Jeanninecomeau]

I was thinking that too.

[@swinescales]

Im not a liberal or Democrat but Glenn is a boss. All journalists should go after the government on a constant basis, not like yahoo and the msm with their "celebs" they get obsessed over.

[@beta447]

Brilliant interview. The stuff about being "glued" to the television especially. Americans are too eager to watch the carnage and too lazy to understand why it really occurred and how their illusions are used against them.

[@sarahsmith6055]

Love Glenn

[@Idriss9]

11.54 minutes Greenwald shares a smile, because of his contact with Snowden : P

[@TheCasualObservers]

Do you get bored going on to every KZbin video with Greenwald in it and writing the exact same crass comments? The label "troll" is thrown about way too liberally in forums. But you, sir, are the real deal.

[@shariffabdjaffar6503]

Glen mindset highly recommanded. Question the gov.

[@Jeanninecomeau]

I'm very concerned with big business invading the internet with ads etc....they are slowly "buying" people.

[@joepapp01]

I want to bring Glenn to my city on a speaking engagement. Wish me luck!

[@marthacmd]

the best invention is KZbin we can hear the truths Thank you Glenn

[@edit1314]

Worse than when Snow, who'd been one of Churchill's WWII advisors, wrote "One of the most bizarre features of any advanced industrial society in our time is that the cardinal choices have to be made by a handful of men: in secret: and, at least in legal form, by men who cannot have a first-hand knowledge of what those choices depend upon or what their results may be." (Snow, C. P., 1962. Science and government. New American Library / Mentor by arrangement with Harvard University Press).

[@accordio13]

Whatever happened to the second suspect. In a prison hospital somewhere. What is the status of his case and does he have a lawyer????????

[@htatsios]

I love them both.

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

We can hear the truths ... but we're sitting alone at our computers, not taking to the streets.

[@MissingpeopleNet]

King never lets the facts get in the way of a good story.

[@jankowitts]

Glenn sounds a lot like Ron Paul. Much respect. Some alt news is question glens intentions up how can you try to discredit this guy? Every time I see him make a public appearance he is speaking out against big government.

[@johnnonamegibbon3580]

Damn Brokaw. I can't believe he said that.

[@yurik1068]

I guess you're right Marty Mart.

[@keiajinfilms]

i need a t-shirt that says "what glenn said" - and when people ask me about civil liberties or "counter"-terrorism activities, i will point to the shirt, and save us all a lot of time :)

[@chuqyv12]

Hope and pray they don't shut youtube down soon!!!!

[@WeldonDavis]

Yep.

[@DjViceroy]

I live in Massachusetts. Attended the same college as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. I used to party with him. Smoke cannabis and drink with him. He was in no way radical. A normal college kid just like anyone else. Something happened. Not sure if/how his brother got in his head or something more sinister is at hand. Again, Tsarnaev went from a everyday college student, smoking herb, selling it, and drinking to militant Muslim who hates America. Something happened to Dzhokhar that changed him. I will not be fooled by the stupid slogans "Boston Strong" and "Shelter In Place", both which entered the lexicon thanks to this bombing. The police lock-down did shit. A homeowner found Dzhokhar in his boat. To the idiots who think it was a false flag event, your wrong. I know someone who had a leg when she went to the marathon and left that day without one. She was no crisis actor.

[@anniemihn]

What makes this gentleman even more bold and admirable is the fact that he is of Jewish origin. We need more ppl like him. Stay strong, Greenwald!

[@benmeltzer]

Me too.

[@HisDivineShadow]

As if taking to the streets en masse would actually change anything, do you think they would not employ large amounts of the police? Call in the national guard if they had to?

[@yurik1068]

I voted twice for Obama and very disappointed, but if I had the same exact choice to make I would vote the same way. The point is the other parties choice is always worse, both parties represent the Oligarchs. It's true Greenwald and Scahill are really national treasures.

[@accordio13]

And nobody in the main media spends one minute on this.

[@lezlitaz]

hardly, sadly

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

Depends. If the movement gains a credible claim to universality, that might change. compare upheavals in e.g. East Europe around 1990. They never thought they could do it, but then it happened.

[@marthacmd]

why would you do the same thing over again , only to get the same result? are you that caught up?

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

Tell that to the Koch brothers and their Libertarian ilk.

[@TheBigvolt]

The main stream Media is the most complete propaganda machine ever created .

[@TheBigvolt]

Willfully discarding the truth should be criminal , Main stream media will go down in history on the same level as child molesters and puke , Warm Regards BV

[@HisDivineShadow]

I _am_ distracted easily. It annoys me to know there is such a thing as someone that is paid to be a troll. Can we stop paying people for things that are stupid now?

[@RzzRBladezofoccham]

Do you live in a democracy? Do you live in the greatest nation? Do you live in the home of the free and the brave? If your answer is 'NO' three times, you are absolutely right, however, if your answer is 'YES' one or more times you are absolutely wrong. 6 million people murdered by the USA in 6 nations -John Tirman, executive director and principal research scientist at the MIT Center for International Studies-

[@FarhanKhan]

you forgot about Michael Hastings

[@thirdshift47]

You're probably right.Personally I've only read the 'Death of the Liberal Class',precisely because I've never been all that interested in most people's religious views.I've only heard Hedges speak on religion and although I certainly saw points of disagreement I never heard anything from him that sounded "lunatic".If anything more often then not he comes off as an atheist with a deep appreciation for scripture.I could be wrong. But if you're going to make those accusations,atleast elaborate.

[@danielstoner7807]

I would vote for Glenn for President of the USA right NOW!

[@realtoreeltoreal]

You are not doing anything wrong, right? At least you have the ability to point that out on a KZbin comment page. The innocent woman, children and men in middle Eastern countries who are murdered are unable to proclaim their innocence. None of us are clean-especially those of us who are aware of what is going on.

[@HisDivineShadow]

Okay! What do you want me to say to them? Should I make some tea?

[@namunyoska2]

You forgot Noam Chomsky

[@TheTamriel]

Yeah. We're the first generation that isn't skilled in public stone throwing anymore, dad told me that already. We've invented virtual stoning aka trolling instead. Somewhat ridiculous, I know.

[@elchacal535]

he is still better then the last guy you had :)

[@73shizo]

07:38 listen to the stupid question

[@brianbirc]

Anybody wonder why the hijakers of 911 or the boston bomber do not have any person or group claiming responsibility and complaint or demand or friends or family in their home tow celebrating. That has always been trademark and before you say Bin Ladin claimed it on video if that was him and not a Jesica Lynch gov special The FBI COULD AND WOULD HAVE CHARGED BIN LADIN but they did not due to lack of evedence. Video confesion is decent evidence. The Israli guys were with prior knowlege filming

[@thirdshift47]

"Glenn Greenwald...I wish you a safe trip home." Translation:"What your back back Glenn..."lol

[@elchacal535]

Not you you.. you know, the editorial you.. as in the system which you, me and the rest of north Americans fall in to.

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

We have the strength in total numbers. Don't be distracted by the paid Libertarian trolls.

[@mephisto88x]

there will be others like youtube waiting to continue they can never really shut down the internet

[@awc222]

This is, of course, assuming the brothers actually did this at all. Funny how any and all proof of what is claimed is completely missing. I guess we have to just trust the authorities....again.

[@rhrabar0004]

13 mark

[@jankowitts]

TOM BROKAW! OMG.......how can that guy live with himself after sating that!??!? sell out.

[@htatsios]

SUPER EVIL! NOWHERE TO HIDE

[@Jayremy89]

Should've brought a discussion of the gun control on this topic, since this is in the matter of perceived security vs liberty. I am sure meaningful two way discussions are better than the typical assert one direction opinion media from both right and left wingers. We need to really push to bringing what it means to be a free society, more people happy and less theft so there is more production and progress. The government has just protected and provided a pipeline for criminals by being covert.

[@calebwallace8447]

no shit. we should replace forced public education with YT!

[@jcwhite1288]

People are beginning to see the flaws in statism. And Obama is a statist

[@moraf2263]

The two brothers are/were not both Muslims. The elder brother converted to Islaam but the younger brother who is still alive has not converted to Islaam. It's one of the reasons that the Boston narrative stinks; we are supposed to believe that the younger brother who is not interested in Islaam joined his elder brother's 'jihaad'. Yes, of ourse he did. Duh.

[@pwthcim]

Troll is so hackneyed.

[@pwthcim]

Greenwald treasure of Karl Marx

[@pwthcim]

Are you still in the 6th grade?

[@keyarthur4583]

Is it possible for a person to be this ignorant? We haven't had capitalism in this country for decades. With over 40% of the economy directly controlled by the increasingly fascistic/welfare government do you still entertain the notion that it's capitalism that's failing? Government centrally controlled interest rates and cheap money/credit is what's creating dangerous bubble/burst cycles. Gov. love to create bubbles bc that makes the politicians look good. LEARN something b4 u comment

[@Fipplelight]

Something doesn't quite add up with Greenwald!

[@MrBloodykittens]

please don't breed.

[@pwthcim]

That is what Greenwald is--a homosexual who is a Communist or Communist leaning. Are you a Communist?
