Friday, June 7, 2013

In the abstract, one can complain that the program run amok,

but looking at the details, so I think we found the right balance.

President Obama defends stubbornly US surveillance program

and insists that they have good built-in security

to protect citizens from abuse.

He reached the conclusion that what was happening behind the locked doors of this secret organization

was a big threat to privacy, Internet freedom and human rights.

Not only in the US but worldwide. He felt it was his duty

as a person to reveal it.

My name is Ed Snowden. I am 29 years old. I work for Booz Allen Hamilton

infrastructure analyst for the NSA in Hawaii.

One can not reveal the world's most powerful intelligence

without putting anything at stake. They are powerful opponents.

No one can meaningfully stand up to them. If they want you, they do it.

Guy did.

It will be worse for the next generation if they expand their strength, oppression architecture.

And you realize that you might be willing to accept any risk whatsoever,

as long as the public has the opportunity to decide how it should be handled.

For even if you have not done anything wrong, you are still monitored.

I had access to the intelligence community.

If I had wanted to harm the United States,

I would have been able to shut down the whole thing in one afternoon.

But it was not what I wanted, and those who say it

should think.

Om de var i min sits

and lived in Hawaii, in paradise, earning serious money

what would make them leave everything?

What I fear most

compared to what happens with the US,

is that nothing happens, and it only gets worse year after year.

And then, sometime in the future

that a new leader will be chosen,

taking the last step

and the people will not be able to do something to stop it.

And it gets turnkey tyranny.

How does it feel? I'll be fine.

You have to start looking after yourself now.

If you have any reason to believe that you'll get kicked in the door,

somehow cornered, you must reformat the hard drive immediately.

I have encrypted backups.

Now I have ...

... No longer access the files. You have them all.

Concentrate on articles. It is important now.

If you'll excuse me, it's ...

We should all get some rest, we will need that.

I should sleep in a soft bed while I have one.

Sleep tight.

See you tomorrow. Good night.

Can you at least tell you where to go?

I know I ...

Ewen, I'm on the second floor.

I can not see Tibbo.

No, wait, I think I see him.

Crap. There are journalists everywhere in the hotel.

I do not know, I'll try to stop them with a press conference or something.

Glenn. Thanks. What we understand is one of the best lawyers in Hong Kong.

We will take him to the United Nations first Sen .. I prefer to say nothing.

Sh*t, they've seen me. Go you.

I'll answer your questions in turn.

Did you get them? Yes, it was the best I could do.

You should see Tibbo five minutes.

On the footbridge opposite the shopping center.

I have met many wonderful people in my life, but you ...

Alright kid, time to head over.

We will not disappoint you.

You would not look like a journalist without a camera.

Really?

Okay. That's a good idea.

...

You're not provide turn-cube?

I want you to have it.

Thanks. For everything. Thanks.

I have a van down the street.

Whistle blower Edward Snowden has now formally accused of

espionage, theft and illegal use of government property.

Spokespersons for the US government says they asked Hong Kong detain him.

Snowden has been in Hong Kong since May.

Snowden has checked out of their luxury hotel in Hong Kong.

It is probably best to look away.

The Department of Justice has gone through Interpol, so that Snowden,

if he tries to cross any border, will be arrested.

Americans approaching. They know with all certainty where he is.

They just need to Hong Kong's permission to retrieve him.

The big question is: Where is he now?

Thanks. This is Ed. Ed, Mayana. Welcome.

These are good people, they will not talk.

I have handled their cases for several years. They are like you.

Stateless.

They are waiting for their UN application will go through to obtain refugee status.

If you get arrested, you can call me on this number.

Good. Thanks so much.

You may not know it, Ed,

but you are not alone.

His girlfriend, amateur photographer Lindsey Mills

has not been heard from. She is reported to be with their parents.

She has been interrogated by the FBI and remain under investigation.

Ten days have passed and the world are looking for Edward Snowden.

Rumors claim that a wealthy supporter hiding Snowden

in a private luxury villa close to Hong Kong.

It is now confirmed that Edward Snowden has boarded a plane to Moscow.

The State Department is disappointed at the Hong Kong authorities.

He was joined by a representative from WikiLeaks.

Snowden trying to get from Russia to Cuba and on to Ecuador to seek political asylum.

Moscow's airport announced that he will not get the next board

plan because the US has withdrawn his passport.

Foreign Minister John Kerry is furious

Russia refuses to ask the American refugee.

Now, the man without a country stranded at the airport in Moscow.

I will not send combat aircraft

after a 29-year-old .. hacker.

Bolivian President plane was today nedtvingat of Austrian airspace today

because there were suspicions that Snowden was on board.

After 39 days at the airport hotel, he has only his Russian lawyer

and an advisor from WikiLeaks, Sarah Harrison, with him.

Now he can enjoy the freedom guaranteed under the Putin regime.

There is still something called execution.

Snowden deserved to have protection around the world

but at least he has been granted asylum in Russia.

He can be active in the debate he began.

And the world now have an example of that you can do the right thing.

You do not end up in a cage, in a prison.

After more than a year in the country with temporary asylum

Snowden has been given a three-year residence permit in Russia.

And now, live from Moscow, Edward Snowden.

Hi, Ed. How are you?

Thanks. Sorry if I lose my direction a little.

People have always said that I'm a little robotic.

How did you end up in Russia?

I had not planned to stay. My passport was withdrawn

on the way to South America, so when people ask why I am in Russia,

I usually say:
"Ask the State Department."

Does that mean that you are willing to go home and try your case in court?

Absolutely. If there was a fair and public trial.

Unfortunately, it would not be there,

as long as a spy law used against whistleblower.

Do you still think it was worth it? Yes I do.

Without the information to debate the merits of the case, we are lost.

Citizens the opportunity to question the government and hold it accountable.

It is the basic principle on which the United States is built.
