After that then please take note that your caps has been on for a month.
"If you are trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you are actually doing is eliminating all possibilities from your life. Losing your ability to act because you are afraid." Damn! I will always try to remember this quote forever.
That saying cannot be more truthful in our day.Im living in Australia and since the 911 Wtc bombings there has been an acceleration of destruction of law abiding citizens rights.Terrorists do not obey laws but the everyday citizen does.So then i have to question every terrorist attack,is my government involved?It was laid bare for me during the Sydney Lindt cafe attack in Australia.The terrorist was a government informant and was on parole/surveillance for a domestic violence attack against his spouse in which she was seriously deformed.It gets worse and worse...flinders street attack the police are clearly seen directing the attacker where to go.

Most probably, if russian didn't no other country would. If so then no one would dare to whistleblow in america. They have no country to run to. Russia knows this and HAS to provide that safety. Because it sees this as an opportunity to weaken america. But in my opinion, it is a good thing for the people to know what their government is up to. Whistleblowers truly are heroes
But why Russia?? Why The US government made harder for him to leave Russian as he claimed it did ?? Because if he had left Russian to Ecuador, you know by now he would be in Guantanamo ... the Russian will never let him leave there ever , having an American talking bad about it’s own government is good for them .... feel bad for him, he will never ever be allowed to leave ...

he should obviously be exonerated, but i lived in moscow for a few years... it's a really nice place to live. so much going on all the time. i bet he has a pretty decent life. he comes accross as being in pretty good spirits. better than locked up in an american jail forever.
@@maxmaxed2887The reason why they still keep him is because he's an extremely valuable tool to the Russian government in sowing discord among the American people to bring down their government. It is working very well for them as you can see by the majority of the posts here. Russia would love to see their enemy's intelligence powers weakened. An obvious fact.
"If you're trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you're actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life. You're trying to collapse the universe of outcomes such that what you've lost is freedom. You've lost the ability to act because you're afraid." And that is the most powerful conclusion I've heard in a long time.
Letting fear control your life and making laws to protect us from any sort of danger is like the Patriot Act, ironically created to keep us free after Bin Laden tried to take us down and just gives the government more power to infiltrate all facets of our lives.

Best part was at the end when he spoke on togetherness and thats why they work so hard to keep us separated, it makes it easier for them to do what they want to do.
You guys are all idiots. The COINTELPRO runs deep and you fools constantly fall for gaslighting Psyops such as Snowden. The disinformation runs really deep and you all bow down to their lackey. Sad. I thought people were more scrupulous than that. Food for thought. Snowden has said “chemtrails” aren’t real. Oh really Snowden?

(Over 100 patents related to weather modification methods and technologies) www.geoengineeringwatch.org/links-to-geoengineering-patents/ Or is Snowden something else? Of course you people would NEVER touch subjects like that. You haven’t even scratched the surface, so how could you conceptualize such things? Hint: he’s a gaslighting red herring Psyop plant

@@bkaley8974 Sir, the fact is that I don't actually know. However, I'm led to believe based on his intelligent discussion that the man has thought deeply and is sharing a narrative that is profound and relevant guided by what appears to be a genuine concern for humanity.

I thought the comment section here was a place where we can share our opinion on the views presented. Others also in this section appear to like Snowden's commentary.

There are heroes. What's with this trend of putting stupid statements in quotes and people eating ut up. THINK PEOPLE!!! There ARE HEROES. Perhaps not in Snowdens case but in life, YES!
Great interview. Powerful last few minutes. "If you're trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you're actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life."
Hmm. He has balls. I have seen bigger. In Australia there is a journalist being sent to court for whistleblowing against literal murder committed by soldiers. And what I think he has bigger balls is because he is saying "I ain't running. I stand by my truth". THAT is balls. To expose the evil and stand strong in it's face. Again, love Snowden. But I have seen bigger. But I guess no one will know until Oliver Stone makes a film. And if you think the US is a "fascist" state. You haven't been to Australia yet....

But we are the ones the UK and USA use to spy on their citizens. Look up pine gap, and look up five eyes... Dude, it's something else...

China is just becoming a developed country with a middle class that can do things, India is a developing country still. They're also huge countries where people often don't get the chance or opportunities than many in the US and Western countries do. The Laureates and the Peace Prize are somewhat separate from each other despite given by the Nobel board. They're all silly titles in the end, just as Snowden said -- they will die, their legacies will eventually die. It's a sad fact, mathematical odds would have the next Einsteins as Chinese, Indian, Pakistani -- those countries contain a majority of the global population -- but they don't have the opportunity thanks to their government. It's not a contest for diversity. Sad fact is if you want to be a Laureate in any science, etc. you're going to have to relocate to where there is more freedom to pursue your studies.

@Manny Santiago, if that was going to happen, it would've happened a LONG time ago. His greatest shield is his notoriety. If anything happens to Snowden, it would be obvious who did it - which is not good for publicity. At the end of the day, the CIA/NSA aren't the freaking Gestapo or the KGB. When they do things, they don't want blowback. Their agendas revolve around quiet operation, not instilling fear in the population.
@@jasonablah7702, maybe I should've clarified. Blowback =/= disruption. They meddle in all kinds of things abroad, and do many disruptive things - proxy wars, regime change, political assassinations, etc. But they don't want blowback for those things. The various alphabet agencies want to maintain some level of plausible deniability and shy away from actions that implicate them directly. This is because the United States is a mostly free society with a free press. Whereas "secret police" like the KGB always wanted people to know when they did things because it would instill fear in the population and make them easier to control.
@@jasonablah7702, oh I believe it. Especially early on. Then again, that could've totally been a psy-op attempting to manipulate compliance or get him to surrender. Has the government had people like Snowden killed before? I wouldn't doubt it. But would they do it an any way where it was clearly able to be traced back to them? Probably not.
Although I doubt he's as physically rigorous or is as capable with firearms. He was associated with intelligence collection. Not assassinating high value targets in highly populated areas and remaining invisible. Good guy though.
I learned a long time ago, there's only two points to life.... you either live to be happy and make your friends/family happy.... or you live to make humanity better. One will leave you forgotten in 2 generations, the other will let you live on in history. Think about it... how much does anyone know about their great-great-grandparents? Their names? Their personalities? Their hobbies? Their jokes? Their great moments? Unless they were a key part of history, it's likely you know nothing about them, and they are forgotten by all of humanity.

Snowden: But I didn't come forward to be safe. If I wanted to be safe, i'd still be sitting in Hawaii, making a hell of a lot money, to spy on YOU.

Don't go home Mr Snowden, this world needs all the heroes like you we can get, and we need them alive and free.
I agree. I don't think he should ever come home, there is no such thing as a free trial unless we destroy the entire government system and rebuild.
I agree. it's not worth spending his life in a US jail. I hope you can find a measure of happiness and peace in Russia. He's a very impressive, articulate and brillant person. May the Universe protect him.

That saying cannot be more truthful in our day.Im living in Australia and since the 911 Wtc bombings there has been an acceleration of destruction of law abiding citizens rights.Terrorists do not obey laws but the everyday citizen does.So then i have to question every terrorist attack,is my government involved?It was laid bare for me during the Sydney Lindt cafe attack in Australia.The terrorist was a government informant and was on parole/surveillance for a domestic violence attack against his spouse in
which she was seriously deformed.It gets worse and worse...flinders street attack the police are clearly seen directing the attacker where to go.

@Galactus TM do you know what snowden did? you sound stupid af
And Julian Assange.
You have a very low opinion of superheros if you think this fool is one.
NAH
The russians are still taking care of his security, even if he doesn't know that.
Most probably, if russian didn't no other country would. If so then no one would dare to whistleblow in america. They have no country to run to. Russia knows this and HAS to provide that safety. Because it sees this as an opportunity to weaken america. But in my opinion, it is a good thing for the people to know what their government is up to. Whistleblowers truly are heroes
But why Russia?? Why The US government made harder for him to leave Russian as he claimed it did ?? Because if he had left Russian to Ecuador, you know by now he would be in Guantanamo ... the Russian will never let him leave there ever , having an American talking bad about it’s own government is good for them .... feel bad for him, he will never ever be allowed to leave ...
@@andresdaab3812 russia is big enough to at least resist America. if he left for ecuador for example, and in 3 months us marines kicked his door open and kill him, what are ecuador gonna do? USA can't do that to Russia

@@andresdaab3812 hmmm, idk why US doesn't want him to leave Russia.
Betrayed a government. Served the people.
It’s funny, because the government and politicians are supposed to represent and speak for the people, yet the masses totally disagrees with the government.
Betrayed no one. Betray is when you cross the GOOD ACTIONS of government or employer, not when you EXPOSE their CRIMES.
@@richardstylez1950 He also said that the US now has a "government" class of society and funny thing, that separation between government and the people is what USSR experienced in 2nd half of it's existence and which lead to its destruction. And I believe if the Americans would do nothing with it they could experience the States falling apart like the USSR within next 100 yrs.
it's shameful that this man is forced to live in exile instead of being exalted as a hero.
The real crime is we let it continue to happen, of all the protests, no one pickets the NSA.
The positive side is that it will just reenforce his legend throughout history. ⭐
he should obviously be exonerated, but i lived in moscow for a few years... it's a really nice place to live. so much going on all the time. i bet he has a pretty decent life. he comes accross as being in pretty good spirits. better than locked up in an american jail forever.
Max Maxed I would say that no other country is any better. The only reason why they could be worse at espionage is a lack of technologies.
@@maxmaxed2887The reason why they still keep him is because he's an extremely valuable tool to the Russian government in sowing discord among the American people to bring down their government. It is working very well for them as you can see by the majority of the posts here. Russia would love to see their enemy's intelligence powers weakened. An obvious fact.
"If you're trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you're actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life. You're trying to collapse the universe of outcomes such that what you've lost is freedom. You've lost the ability to act because you're afraid."
And that is the most powerful conclusion I've heard in a long time.
ALL I HEARD WAS BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH TRYING TO SOUND PROFOUND BLAH BLAH PATHETIC AND ALSO WRONG
Letting fear control your life and making laws to protect us from any sort of danger is like the Patriot Act, ironically created to keep us free after Bin Laden tried to take us down and just gives the government more power to infiltrate all facets of our lives.

USA is the leader of the third world. And Obama's declaration of America's military might is in character with that of some African dictator. Is USA even a democracy in 2019-2020? What would happen if you make referendum dedicated to Snowden? Subject brought to debate: should he be allowed a just trial or not. Put it to the vote and decide. I'm sure that Snowden would have an overwhelming popular support as a martyr. But then again, can you even do it living in the democratic leader of the first world?

'THERE ARE NO HEROES" What a bold statement, at the same time it's this reason why fictional heroes exist.
If only people were mature, and able to deal with the "muddied waters" of reality... the nuance of life... it can be frustrating, to always have to be deducting and thinking, but that is the only way to truly live. Being a naive sheep, seeing all in black and white, and never questioning anything, seems like a shite existence to me.

Hmm. He has balls. I have seen bigger. In Australia there is a journalist being sent to court for whistleblowing against literal murder committed by soldiers. And what I think he has bigger balls is because he is saying "I ain't running. I stand by my truth". THAT is balls. To expose the evil and stand strong in it's face.

The Laureates and the Peace Prize are somewhat separate from each other despite given by the Nobel board.

“Why is this law so?”
U.S. Government: “That doesn’t matter.”
You know it’s serious when Joe says “Is it possible” instead of “It’s entirely possible”
I feel so sorry for this guy, he is a real hero
Alexia, are you better than the NSA?
Yes: I don't need a warrant to eavesdrop!
Soda King Who’s Alexia?
Umm... neither does the NSA... That was sort of the ENTIRE point of what E.S. was trying to bring to light.
The Greatest Man That Ever Lived
Oh, well from a legal stand point, yes; but from the perspective of real like, no; they don’t.

Matt Powers - The Permaculture Student, I think it’s because the people who know who he is are overwhelmingly people who appreciate him and understand what he did. The dumb masses of bootlickers who hate him haven’t spent any time looking at his face or pondering his perspective.

@Manny Santiago, if that was going to happen, it would've happened a LONG time ago. His greatest shield is his notoriety. If anything happens to Snowden, it would be obvious who did it - which is not good for publicity. At the end of the day, the CIA/NSA aren't the freaking Gestapo or the KGB. When they do things, they don't want blowback. Their agendas revolve around quiet operation, not instilling fear in the population.
@@jasonablah7702, maybe I should've clarified. Blowback =/= disruption. They meddle in all kinds of things abroad, and do many disruptive things - proxy wars, regime change, political assassinations, etc. But they don't want blowback for those things. The various alphabet agencies want to maintain some level of plausible deniability and shy away from actions that implicate them directly. This is because the United States is a mostly free society with a free press. Whereas "secret police" like the KGB always wanted people to know when they did things because it would instill fear in the population and make them easier to control.
@@jasonablah7702, oh I believe it. Especially early on. Then again, that could've totally been a psy-op attempting to manipulate compliance or get him to surrender. Has the government had people like Snowden killed before? I wouldn't doubt it. But would they do it an any way where it was clearly able to be traced back to them? Probably not.
This is Jason Bourne of real life. Let that sink in for a second.
No disrespect CK, but why not say “this is the real life Jason Bourne.” Becausehe is without a doubt...
Although I doubt he's as physically rigorous or is as capable with firearms. He was associated with intelligence collection. Not assassinating high value targets in highly populated areas and remaining invisible. Good guy though.
Committed a technical breach of law ,but no moral breach at all. He’s a great American
I learned a long time ago, there's only two points to life.... you either live to be happy and make your friends/family happy.... or you live to make humanity better. One will leave you forgotten in 2 generations, the other will let you live on in history.
Think about it... how much does anyone know about their great-great-grandparents? Their names? Their personalities? Their hobbies? Their jokes? Their great moments? Unless they were a key part of history, it's likely you know nothing about them, and they are forgotten by all of humanity.
