Edward Snowden
“Ultimately, saying that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record

Edward Snowden
“Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.”
Edward Snowden

Glenn Greenwald
“The way things are supposed to work is that we're supposed to know virtually everything about what they [the government] do: that's why they're called public servants. They're supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that's why we're called private individuals.”
Glenn Greenwald

Edward Snowden
“These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power.”
Edward Snowden

Andy Weir
“The NSA?"

"Yeah, they called and offered to help out. Same software they use for enhancing spy satellite imagery."

Venkat shrugged. "It's amazing how much red tape gets cut when everyone's rooting for one man to survive.”
Andy Weir, The Martian

Edward Snowden
“Being a patriot doesn't mean prioritizing service to government above all else. Being a patriot means knowing when to protect your country, knowing when to protect your Constitution, knowing when to protect your countrymen, from the violations of and encroachments of adversaries. And those adversaries don't have to be foreign countries.”
Edward Snowden

James Bamford
“Like a black hole, NSA pulls in every signal that comes near, but no electron is ever allowed to escape.”
James Bamford, The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America

Edward Snowden
“Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.”
Edward Snowden

Glenn Greenwald
“The Obama administration, which has brought more prosecutions against leakers than all prior presidencies combined, has sought to create a climate of fear that would stifle any attempts at whistle-blowing. But Snowden destroyed that template. He has managed to remain free, outside the grasp of the United States; what's more, he has refused to remain in hiding but proudly came forward and identified himself. As a result, the public image of him is not a convict in orange jumpsuit and shackles but and independent, articulate figure who can speak for himself, explaining what he did and why.”
Glenn Greenwald, No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State

Will Advise
“Quinns always come at half price, about half the time, and half-naked, even during the colder half of winter. A Quinn is like a queen, but draggier, and cheaper to buy and use for personal gain, unless you鈥檙e suspicious that you鈥檙e poor and illiterate like Jarod Kintz, in which case Quinns could be the spirits of your dead relatives, come to haunt you until you gather a massive fortune through selling books on the internet, to send some back in time through a portal you bought from the NSA, so they would have lived better lives without having to move a finger for their fortune. Oh, yah, and since they aren鈥檛 - they鈥檙e blue, like smurfs, yet they turn purple whenever tickled on the belly, which is something they seem to rather dislike, since they start biting and scratching when it happens, for no good reason, I might add.”
Will Advise, Nothing is here...

James Bamford
“There is now the capacity to make tyranny total in America. Only law ensures that we never fall into that abyss鈥攖he abyss from which there is no return.”
James Bamford, The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America

“Expose the Jesuit order and learn about the global genocide. Speak out, even when what you have to say is not popular.”
John Reynaga

Cornel West
“I'm sure I've had my phone tapped for years, I don't think it's a crime against humanity they just ought to quit doing it, god damn it.”
Cornel West

Michael Parenti
“Again and again we are asked to choose between freedom and security when in truth there is no security without freedom. In both dictatorships and democracies, the agencies of "national security", acting secretively and unaccountably, have regularly violated both our freedom and our security, practicing every known form of repression, corruption, and deceit.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

Will Advise
“An imaginary friend once asked me why Americans can't stand Russia. The answer was cold, deadly, silent, and, well expected. It鈥檚 because in Soviet Russia nothing happens anymore, because it doesn鈥檛 exist anymore. And Americans are all about happenings. If there isn鈥檛 one 鈥� they don鈥檛 go where it isn鈥檛, because there isn鈥檛 anything to happen to them there.”
Will Advise, Nothing is here...

Will Advise
“I'm an oracle of the past. I can accurately predict up to 1 minute in the future, by thoroughly investigating the last 2 years of your life. Also, I look like an old database 鈥� flat and full of useless info.”
Will Advise, Nothing is here...

Lisa Randall
“Lots of data gets collected through the latest technology today, and not all of it is about people's consumer preferences.”
Lisa Randall, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe

James Tiptree Jr.

David Safier
“la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional, Facebook, Google y C铆a. nos espiaban con los 尘贸惫颈濒别蝉, y nosotros, los propietarios de los 尘贸惫颈濒别蝉, lo sab铆amos, pero nos importaba una mierda, porque est谩bamos encantados con ellos”
David Safier, Mieses Karma hoch 2

Edward Snowden
“Two things about the NSA stunned me right off the bat: how technologically sophisticated it was compared with the CIA, and how much less vigilant it was about security in its every iteration, from the compartmentalization of information to data encryption.”
Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden
“Imagine yourself sitting at a computer, about to visit a website. You open a Web browser, type in a URL, and hit Enter. The URL is, in effect, a request, and this request goes out in search of its destination server. Somewhere in the midst of its travels, however, before your request gets to that server, it will have to pass through TURBULENCE, one of the NSA鈥檚 most powerful weapons.

Specifically, your request passes through a few black servers stacked on top of one another, together about the size of a four-shelf bookcase. These are installed in special rooms at major private telecommunications buildings throughout allied countries, as well as in US embassies and on US military bases, and contain two critical tools. The first, TURMOIL, handles 鈥減assive collection,鈥� making a copy of the data coming through. The second, TURBINE, is in charge of 鈥渁ctive collection鈥濃€攖hat is, actively tampering with the users.

You can think of TURMOIL as a guard positioned at an invisible firewall through which Internet traffic must pass. Seeing your request, it checks its metadata for selectors, or criteria, that mark it as deserving of more scrutiny. Those selectors can be whatever the NSA chooses, whatever the NSA finds suspicious: a particular email address, credit card, or phone number; the geographic origin or destination of your Internet activity; or just certain keywords such as 鈥渁nonymous Internet proxy鈥� or 鈥減rotest.鈥�

If TURMOIL flags your traffic as suspicious, it tips it over to TURBINE, which diverts your request to the NSA鈥檚 servers. There, algorithms decide which of the agency鈥檚 exploits鈥攎alware programs鈥攖o use against you. This choice is based on the type of website you鈥檙e trying to visit as much as on your computer鈥檚 software and Internet connection. These chosen exploits are sent back to TURBINE (by programs of the QUANTUM suite, if you鈥檙e wondering), which injects them into the traffic channel and delivers them to you along with whatever website you requested. The end result: you get all the content you want, along with all the surveillance you don鈥檛, and it all happens in less than 686 milliseconds. Completely unbeknownst to you.

Once the exploits are on your computer, the NSA can access not just your metadata, but your data as well. Your entire digital life now belongs to them.”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record

Edward Snowden
“At any point, for all perpetuity, any new administration鈥攁ny future rogue head of the NSA鈥攃ould just show up to work and, as easily as flicking a switch, instantly track everybody with a phone or a computer, know who they were, where they were, what they were doing with whom, and what they had ever done in the past.”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record

Edward Snowden
“The geek inherited the earth”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record

“Agent Tanner sagte, dass die NSA sich etwas einfallen lasseb will. Anselm und Hannah haben sich eben spontan entschlossen, auf Weltreise zu gehen. Postkarten, E-mails, ja, sogar Telefonate von unterwegs sind kein Problem.”
Martina Andr茅, Das R盲tsel der Templer

“I'm always under surveillance from both the NSA, the Russian KGB, and the Bulgarian Army, so I'm the most invisible.”
Stefan D

Will Advise
“The NSA may, or may not have rejected the invisible secret operative application form I never even bothered to have sent over to them. I'll never know...”
Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“Nobody in the government is talking. It鈥檚 a case of national security.鈥�
鈥淥f course. The national security of spying on U.S. citizens.”
Kenneth Eade, The Spy Files

Kenneth Eade
“It seems whenever the government doesn鈥檛 want anyone to know something, it is all of a sudden critical to national security.”
Kenneth Eade, The Spy Files

Kenneth Eade
“He didn鈥檛 have regular email like everyone else. He couldn鈥檛 afford that digital fingerprint that the NSA, the CIA, the FBI and all the other espionage alphabeticals counted on for their privacy-bashing surveillance of the entire formerly free world.”
Kenneth Eade, Russian Holiday
