Glenn Greenwald: "Edward Snowden and the Secrets of the National Security State"

Glenn Greenwald, best known for his series in "The Guardian" detailing classified information about global surveillance programs based on top-secret documents provided by Edward Snowden, spoke speak at the University of Utah on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.
Greenwald, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist who sparked a worldwide debate over freedom of speech, provided the keynote address during Secrecy Week, a week of events sponsored by the College of Humanities exploring government surveillance in the U. S.

Nhaww.... Ya Don't Say ?

[@no-bozos]

Nope. He's giving his slant on the situation. The truth was a lot more nuanced than that, depending on the context. The truth is that in any war, and we were at war with terrorists organizations (we still are), there is going to be collateral damage. There was no way to look through the information that is collected and not collect some things that are personal to American citizens. The ability to sift through a drag net of information and ONLY collect terrorist activities is something only God could do. Besides, it isn't about what information the government collects, it's about what they do with that information. The Patriot Act never allowed law enforcement to use what was collected at a federal level. Now, that isn't to say that some bad eggs did what they weren't supposed to do, but those incidents were the anomaly not the standard. Think about this: The internment of Japanese Americans is considered to be wrong by anyone's standards, right? However, the government caught a lot of spies in those ranks. War is hell. We are at war. Make no mistake about it. This video is nothing but an armchair quarterback's evaluation of Sunday's game.

[@Flitalidapouet]

Nope at the beginning they did it right, the main turnaround happened in the 60's under Kennedy. But the absolute last decrepitude happened under Clinton in the 90's. And it's not about elected individuals, it's more about BUREAUCRATIES TAKING OVER and elected individuals having very low power over them. You can see this in schools, where overly bureaucratized institutions, with members named for life, has decided to indoctrinate young vulnerable students with Marxist "lets burn it all and rebuild on the cinder " type of belief's.

I had never heard of Citizen 4 until about a year ago. I watched it one night, mainly because I couldn't find anything else on that I was interested in. Now I had heard of Edward Snowden and knew he was a whistle blower and even knew it was to do with the NSA. But as I watched, my jaw began to drop lower and lower. I had no idea the extent of what the NSA was doing.

So, only 1/3 through, but very much wish I and others had been listening 6 years ago (and longer). However, it deeply bothers me that he consistently calls our government a democracy. He even seems to be pushing that idea. A "Constitutional Lawyer? He must know we are a constitutional republic and understand the difference. Makes me wonder . . .

[@Paelorian]

We're a constitutional republic, but also a democratic republic and a liberal democracy. I generally refer to the USA as a republic rather than a democracy, but people get bent out of shape over this. It's not as if everyone who praises democracy is asking for direct democracy and government by referendum unconstrained by law, courts, precedent, or anything but the swaying passions of the public. Since our country has democratic features, in common use the word "democracy" is used to describe it. I accept that almost everyone is carelessly inaccurate with technical political science terminology, unfortunately. That's just the world we live in. Most people aren't deliberately trying to replace the word "republic" with "democracy" to undermine our traditional institutions when they talk about the world's democracies. They only mean governments where leaders are chosen through "free and a fair" (legitimate) elections. Greenwald is smart and learned enough to be able to use more precise terminology. I expect that he would if talking to political science students, but to the general public he's going to speak in their laymen's language so that they understand what he's talking about, even if it's more vague. Good communication often sacrifices accuracy for more reliable understanding. If you're too technical, you become harder to understand. It's often better to be a little more vague for the sake of writing or speaking in a familiar and easily comprehensible way. He's a writer and knows this well.

As noted, however, in the most recent presidential election even the electoral process was corrupted...and we're witnessing the cost, all the way from the gas pump, to the southern border, rioting, looting, crime and killing in our cities and streets, along with a weakened foreign policy... that does not bode well for our country and the world.
