- Watch the full interview with Jacob Appelbaum on Democracy Now! at owl.li/o6eGx. Press freedom and human rights groups are criticizing Britain for using a terrorism law to detain and seize equipment from the partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, as well as forcing Greenwald's newspaper, The Guardian, to destroy hard drives containing the files of NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Jacob Appelbaum, a computer security researcher who has also been stopped numerous times at airports over his work with WikiLeaks, tells Democracy Now! that the British government's actions embody the current threat posed by the surveillance threat to democracy. "If everything is under surveillance, how is that you can have a democracy?" Appelbaum asks. "How is it that we will be able to protect our sources if there's no way to securely meet, no way to communicate about having a meeting, no way to actually communicate about basic facts. There's no such thing as on or off the record when, in fact, you don't control the record."

OMG! This is like sooooooo true!
Couldn't agree more.
Jacob Appelbaum......HERO
i agree with him completely
Yes, you're damn right, I'm very much interested in myself too! B-) Take care!
brilliant
Agreed. I mentioned Chomsky, so we have a very strong group of Jewish people defending democracy.
I love Chomsky, but first and foremost as a man of Peace and Truth - his socialist ideas about how society should work are rather naive/ too theoretical/ ideology driven, but nevertheless he's a hero - a man definetely worth to listen to and learn from!
We have a Republic not a Democracy. But the way things are going in American its hard to tell.
It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines
1001001 SOS - 1001001 in Distress - 100100
Now. Yeah.
But once upon a time . . . there was this country called America that sort of had the illusion of freedom.
We have a Republic with democratic ideals, policies and procedures to some extent. Well, we used to have that.
We could take to the streets like the Egyptians. But You know, like, that would cut into valuable X-box playing time. AND someone might get hurt. Might as well just take it. . .
Isn't that interesting, had to change a couple of letters up there to get that to post. Check the misspelled word for comfirmation.
Unless democracy is a lie.

All that first sentence you wrote tells me is that you don't know anything about Chomsky. He's far and away the smartest person I've come across, as well as brave, humble, and a very giving and caring man--with a high moral stature.
He's our Socrates--or at least I think of him that way. He's an irreplaceable national treasure.
You also know absolutely nothing about anarcho-syndicalism, which IS true democracy.
I don't know about the Jewish conspiracy bit, but I'll agree with you on the corporate control of the US. Noam Chomsky is a good spokesman for that cause.
Corruption is in all cultures, and the whole jews being targeted for "corruption" is nazi propaganda that has been going around since World War 2.
[answer to your deleted coment... B-)...]
Yes - concerning PEACE and JUSTICE, Chomsky is a great Hero for me too.
Concerning Bin Laden.....Imagine that I bought a shirt celebrating Navy Seal Team 6 one year ago (still wearing it nevertheless!).....now I feel so stupid to have fallen for Revenge, and also am so sorry for what happened to those Seals later [RIP]...Chomsky was right, a year ago I didn't want to understand....

I deleted and reposted it because it didn't say, "in reply to" at the bottom. (I do that when I screw up a sentence too. Just copy, fix delete, paste.
Oh, I'm not diminishing what our Special Forces accomplished at all. My intention was simply to state that Noam's theoretical ideas are better than the ones being used right now. His ideas about apprehending bin Laden, for instance, were better for our foreign policy in the long term.

There was a Holocaust called WW2 if you mean that, then there was a "Judeocide" [Arno Mayer] blown out of proportion as you insinuate - while the BENGAL FAMINE, HOLODOMOR, AGHET et al never got the public awareness they deserved - See the GUARDIAN from Aug 22, 2013:
"Israel forced to apologise to Japan over offensive Hiroshima comments" - George Orwell: " 'All animals are equal, but some animals are ... “
Thanks for the link!
Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald, Paul Eisen or Norman Finkelstein are strong minded and great people in the defense of democracy, freedom and free speech too - all jewish, being Jewish doesn't equal being an advocate for pity/ ignorant/ vile chauvinist group-thinking, just as being Iranian/German doesn't make you a Mullah-conformist Islamist/ respectively Nazi. Easy actually...
Have you caught stopdemockery's comments on this page? The guy is a raving lunatic.
Hehe...no, I dispute that "THE Nazi were a very nasty bunch" - believe me, until to her end my Nazi-Omi, a Hitler-admiring self-made Woman Entrepreneur (RIP) from underclass society at the Ostsee [BalticSea] donated for little poor black children in Africa, and my Waffen SS Grandpa was a youngster when he fought for Germany in a Panzer on all fronts, he became a good foster-father for his polish maids' kids later...but if you disagree with Nazi-Ideology on MANY issues, you have me on your side.
