Thank you ss2srea. This is a great video. I hope someone knows how to download it and make a file of it to archive. If everything Mr. Snowden says here is true, the fact that you, I or other members here watch this video is itself data that can be collected and archived by the NSA.
He says again and later again, that he does not want to infringe on journalists whose right it is to make the judgment call whether something is in the national interest. I ran into this phenomenon head-on in 1998 when I discovered that all of the so-called Catholic news journals in the world decided NOT to report the news that Fr. Alfred Joseph Kunz, a Catholic priest, had been brutally murdered on March 4th, in a Freemaonic ritual retribution style assassination. To this day there are no suspects nor does the local police department want to answer questions.
In fact, this message that I'm typing can become part of such archived data, and the fact that your computer monitor displays it can become part of such data; in fact, if you are using a laptop with a camera lens that can see your face, the fact that your eyes are moving over the place where these words are on the screen can become part of such data.
The only thing they haven't figured out just yet is how to add to their database the THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND,
PER SE, that is, without some external manifestation of them that is intercepted by some such device as a cell phone or an Internet computer or a security camera.
In short, the government is deciding when you and I CANNOT know things, and they are unilaterally deciding that they can violate our privacy by collecting all our personal data, which collection itself, says Mr. Snowden, is the point of violation, even while Obama and his henchmen claim that their decision later to DO something, or to LOOK at the data a certain way, is what they mean by "snooping." This means that when you hear them say that they're not going to snoop, or that "Just because we have the power to examine this data doesn't mean that we SHOULD," it has nothing to do with whether or not they will in fact examine the data.
Remember the viewing screen on the wall in Geoge Orwell's 1984, the one that showed images of other places and other times and other people on it, but it could also SEE YOU, and report those images and things you say and do to the office of Big Brother?
That viewing screen is your laptop, your iPad, and your cell phone, and it is a security monitor.
