NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the source behind the Guardian's NSA files, talks to Glenn Greenwald about his motives for the biggest intelligence leak in a generation.

The 29-year-old is a former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.
The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. “I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,” he said.
Snowden will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world’s most secretive organisations – the NSA.

@Wendall Wedgewood Maybe YOU’RE the one who’s not to be trusted…….
I’d rather be with Snowden than with you.
@Wendall Wedgewood come on yall …your wasting your time with mrs. Wendall they ain’t gonna respond nor do they what they are talking about 😆
Snowden should be pardoned
7 years later and this hits me hard.
1984 & Animal Farm ❤️
Everyone watching this is probably on an NSA watchlist right now.

I don’t doubt it dude
@Xuks Exner duh Obama says it just u guys n of course rest of the world beside all of America. But he lied so it’s literally alllllll of us like the whole world
Whatever
You’re absolutely right. I still am. The price you pay for serving with a clearance along with others. The people will never overstand a minority of people who looks like me and you puppets other people based on their hidden agenda and lifestyle. Now will I share information? No. The information is in your face 24/7 but “the senses choose to ignore” so therefore each generation goes about even more ignorant.
FREE ALL THE WISTLEBLOWERS!!! THE RIGHT JOURNALISTS!!!!!PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!
Ironically this happened in 2013. If Americans had listened then, we would not be facing today’s corruption and crimes.
Vaccines are already being pushed all over Canada, a lot of sheeps are taking it and their bodies are failing or rejecting it 🤔.
The corruption started way before that..
@benpoke true surprise to no one…
@Kara Badasski Biden is, trump’s not in office
Whole world is suffering because of not defending these powers when it needed
Id rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave
Well you are not in your grave, nor are you a free man. No one alive today has ever known true freedom. That’s been gone for at least a hundred years.
@I love The outdoors Bull. They will become more tyrannical then ever before and you will obey. That is what the American people do, OBEY.
hopefully you aren’t liberal than
@Xavier Neuralink
And yet you’re using YouTube
This is six years old, imagine where we’re at now, very scary👻
We’re where we are now BECAUSE of Snowden.
He threw a spanner in the works. When you’re older you’ll realise that listening to a 29yr old is not necessarily the best move.
That’s why i don’t think china made the virus, more like USA wants to decrease world population according to their plan
@Pistol Pete
And the side effects of 5G they call Corona infection by design.
@Mario Marona yes and Cia is international in all Nations they have ppl and network all over the world in left and right politic . And CIA is arm of finance departments and wall street and senrralbanks 4hey are shadow goverment

It’s been 6 years Ed. I’m reading your book now. Dude, stay safe. I feel like you might want to come home but bro, don’t. It’s still not safe for you here, stay free and stay safe brother. Thank you for your sacrifice on our behalf. You are a hero.
Reading the book too.
man it makes you paranoid. rightly so…
the first minutes you can literally see all the emotions going through his brain when he is called a wistleblower
Well said
@Red Watch Because he’s not Russian.
he wil never be truly safe again
@Red Watch its still is dangerous place, govenemnt here is same/worse as US. But defferent jurisdiction. Enemy of enemy is friend u know
He just did what was right.. he sacrificed his life for you, me, your kids, my kids, and the future
@ting ting ,your phone can be used by Sammy as a camera and listening device even when you turned it off,We dont need a Government that spies on ordinary,hard working citizens.
@Ian John Gonzales Government doesnt care whether you are ordinary hard working citizen or not…
@Ian John Gonzales ohhh? What you hiding?
Chelsea Manning has suffered & then some.
@Brian White Don’t forget Chelsea Manning.
Interesting how day by day the weight of this man’s words get heavier and heavier and heavier.
Interesting how the media hasn’t backed him up
The media 🙄 a joke. Let’s please open a new objective channel that says things the way they are, no agendas.
All media has an agenda, its the reading between the lines that matters
Media consists mostly of ex government
For example UK house of lords speaker resigned and joined the media instead. Media is just another government agency.
@Nobody you live in a very small world, your view is blinkered.
they cant, cause they get pinned down by the government
He should be a national Hero! instead of most Wanted… Tell’s you something about those in power!
he did give national secrets to Russia though
they hunt people with piez02 mutations
@dancin dack He didn’t.
@Elizabeth Csicsery-Ronay he did and he is residing in mother russia
@QWE RTY He has never given secrets to Russia. He’s residing in Russia because the US withdrew his passport on his way to Ecuador. He was flying via Moscow to avoid airspace where the plane could be diverted to arrest him. I imagine there is a PR benefit to Russia having him reside there, but that is on the US gov’t.
The guy is spot on and there’s no point in voting out the monsters. Mark Twain once said that “If voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let us do it. ” How true.
What
@Paivy Martin ????
@Larniie Playz think I’m joking!???…dig deep. What you seek you will find… this is not a joke. I quit because of that me and my oldest son.
🌬🍄🔥
@Kash Busby you are so thick. of course he was part of the deepstate thats what he exposed lol
The rapid blinking of his eyes, and the swallowing in his throat. Make me believe he truly feared his life by even being interviewed. Especially when the interviewer revealed the location he frequents 🤦🏽♀️
Blinking in eyes and swallowing 🤣🤣🤣
@James Rhyan I suspect that he timed this interview so that he was on the plane to Russia that night.
If the US government wanted him dead, he’d be dead. Period. Period. That’s why I think this is some sort of “disclosure” set up. If you don’t know what I’m talking about already, don’t ask.
by the time it was posted he wasin russia allready
@Mirror ToYourWeakness Not True. A lot of People want Putin dead and yet he’s still kicking. There have been many Assasination Attempts through time. You think the Intelligence Agencies can just materialize in front of him or send a Drone just like that without anyone noticing.
Sad thing is that Snowden’s sacrifice was largely in vain, as the masses haven’t done a thing about it. In fact, the survaillence is even worse now and will continue to develop probably until our thoughts are monitored.
@MsP I believe you and am very sorry (for what little that’s worth) you are victim of this torture. I am aware of the gang stalking/targeted individual phenomenon. I’m also familiar with the patent on remote neural monitoring technology. But, as I’m sure you know, a patent doesn’t necessarily mean that the patented tech exists. That’s not to suggest that I believe it does not exist. I’m sure it does; I just would like to have evidence beyond a patent. The only hard evidence I’m aware of in this vein is the official US government documents regarding the use of voice-to-skull tech on Iraqi soldiers during the war.
But on the topic of remote neural monitoring specifically, or remotely reading of thoughts and emotions, I have seen no hard evidence.
YOU do something about it.
They already are !!! Instagram,facebook,tik — tok,u name it
It’s 1984 but democratic ( note it doesn’t mean you the people are incharge ).
@Lost City Of Gold Any well-thought out ideas on how we should do that?
This man is a hero for standing up for what he believes in: truth, justice, and freedom.
Hey Russell
Snowden is an inspiration, a true patriot, and should be pardoned.
Government spies on ordinary citizens ,but yet they cant catch murderous warlords in Africa,or Big time Druglords in Mexico whos been killing and raping women,wrecking havoc on lives and society.and yet here is this government spying on its own citizens,while real criminals are getting away.

I love him
@ENLIGHTENED WARRIOR Hi.
Yeah that definitively infringes on our freedom of speech
This is what a man with courage, morals & intregity looks like.
He worked with Xi Jinping and spread lies to scare the public in America
“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.” -Thomas Jefferson
“If a law is unjust, Amman is not the only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so
Loll tha same guy who owned slaves
@Al Zicario facts
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king
*”When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you’re being ruled by criminals.”*
@Ralph Davis I guess he thought it was better than prison or a firing squad.
And for that, and other reasons I will not pay taxes. When I see some real justice, like Trump in jail and the thousand people on Jeff Epstein’s list in jail, then I will pay taxes. That’s a deal and promise I will keep with the IRS. But filing tax returns is not needed, the IRS and the AI they use to have Big brother spy on us makes it so they already know how much we all made, filing a return is a thing of the last century. And filing a return constitutes a double jeapardy.
Are they watching us or listening to us or both ?
All government is Mafia. Larken rose’ video “Jones Plantation” makes this crystal clear .. worth a watch on YouTube and his audiobook on SoundCloud called “the most dangerous superstition” paints the picture as well as what self-rule really means. Worth a listen. For the student of liberty his video “the philosophy of Liberty” is crucial at this turning point in society as well as his course “candles in the dark”.
There are more who have seen the decline in liberty than the main stream media would like to show you (since the media likes to create the illusion that those protesting since 2019 in Hong Kong for liberty and more recently around the world against tyranny including lockdowns and digital tyranny are not the enemy, but the allied forces for “the goodness of humanity” to prevail. )
Wishing all reading this happiness, knowledge that they are safe and protected, and that they are free since birth (irrespective of what that birth certificate claims)
@Louis Summers and all mafia started with “the reforms of Solon” in Athens Greece, thousands of years ago.
Edward Snowden is a hero. He should be recognized as such world wide. An honest American of which we need more like him.
Facts! I agree because now we know!
This man made history, he changed our perception of internet and the way of thinking permanently
