Watching yet again. I wish we could have him back here and officially call him a hero. I wish he could run for President of the U.S. It's been a while since we had anyone with this kind of honesty and integrity.
People like him will never make it up there For starters Biden , Trump or any other president is just a puppet Strings are pulled from the shadows So none of the good guys will get up there whatsoever You have to bend over for those who pull the Strings
Woodie Edsel Such a shame that US elect clown politican who love bombing middle east and sending arms to various rebels in different countries than Edward Snowden who is the very definition of intelligence and the guy who supports peace and security
lol... Brian Williams is typically not considered a good journalist... but this interview was unexpectedly fresh... It's like there was some humility in his general tone.
@@parityviolation968 I was surprised, most people in that culture have shunned the expertise of real journalism. And, MSNBC has become the Fox News for the phony, corporate centrist class. This was truly a surprise.
Honestly, he now has nothing but a lot of time to master eloquence, thoughtfulness and conscientiousness. As bitterly cynical as it may sound - he has the perfect conditions for this.
this guy would have a brilliant carreer in the US doing anything public related, yet, he choose to be a hero, and look where it got him, reality is sad.
@@sephiroth666zack2023 was the year of the whistleblower, and 2024 is the big turnaround, August 2024. But we're running out of August. September 1st is supposed to bring JFK jr, so we'll see throughout this next couple weeks.
He’s one of the smartest people on the planet. Got a job as their tech guy for the NSA in his twenties. He could live anywhere in the world and would have computer engineers paying him for advise on how to tighten their security systems.
Wisdom? He psychoanalyzes a person he never met. "Donald Trump is someone who has never known love he didn't pay for". That's like me saying "Snowden is a narcissist who holds a fear of women that are taller than him". It's completely made up.
What he viewed to his intel tenure was law playing corruption in its highest in power... right in front of his own eyes. This would be highly spooky to any mind to intel.
What rights? To see how citizens rights are trampled, move to your idol Putin's empire for a while, then you learn how well you're actually having it. But you will never travel, I bet you have never left your state lol
I agree.. What he did was VERY brave because he was at HIGH risk of "disappearing" or at the very least, a lifetime in prison, as a terrorist... Which is the worst kind of prisoner...
Even if he did the right thing he betrayed the government he will never be forgiven In Russia they would want to cut his head if he would have done it to them
cpu ram . “ betrayed the government”? How? He only informed the general public that the government was breaking the law . Your government is the only traitor hear. And do you think that the present government is any better. Seriously...
Not even only America. The information he gave out is a lesson for the world. He willingly gave up his life to inform the world. I hope his name lives on for a long time
Occam's Razor is in plain sight regarding Edward Snowden. He is 100% a plant by the corporate-owned government. He is a propaganda minister designed to make you rebel against the government and further creates a separation of the people. The proof is they are allowing him to broadcast his message. If it weren't so, the corporations who own our government, also own all the media, including youtube, and they wouldn't allow any of his broadcasts. Remember united we stand divided we fall and it is each of our responsibility to help reunite our country and only then will we be able to turn our country around. All of these videos are nothing more than corporate-controlled propaganda. Don't be fooled any longer!
Maybe but China will be the No1 super power soon, America lost alot of power after what he did. Personally I'd rather America was in charge of the world than China because my country is allied with America!
A nice quote, but an apparent misattributed, closest similar one to MLK. www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/if-law-unjustspurious-quotation The quotation bears a much closer resemblance to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s comment in his famous letter from Birmingham Jail: "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

Excellent quote....."times they are a'changin'..... I was a whistelblower 23 years ago and my life was destroyed as a result. It's tragic and sadly no one cares.
I say Mr. Snowden is one of the best speakers I have heard, ever. I have never formed an opinion of him because he is not one to share much of himself. I like, very much, that he is for liberty and truth but too kind towards those who would still love to do to him what some have done to Assange. I am no fan of the MSNBC or Williams and any Main Stream Media but I only watch this because of Snowden.
Albert Nothnagel "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." -Malcolm X As true today was back then.
@@babalonkie Sooo - better staying in blissful ignorance of the facts, then? As Snowden stated - until 2013 the magnitude of gouvernment survilance was merely a conspiracy theory. Founded by clues, and held by not only tinfoil hat wearing loonies - but still just a conspiracy theory. And obviously revealing the extent of this survilance has led to changes. So I'd say he was indeed helping. Maybe not as much as one could have wished for, but that was not Snowdens fault.
Incredibly with just a G.E.D level of education. What does that say about all of our elected (elite) officials that attended Ivy League Schools? Hmm...
@@Marine_0317 GED really. Is that what the us government is saying about him now. He passed all the FBI n Cia tests with flying colors... He didn't do that with just a GED education...
America did a massive disservice by labeling this man as a threat. He was looking out for all of us, risked his life and his family's life for our freedom and we've all let him down. He deserves to be labeled a hero, that's the only word I can think of, maybe one of the greatest patriots of our time.
You can tell Snowden is innocent...HOW? When The government wants to shut him up and put him in jail.. let's bring him home and here just what they were up to...
And it's probably been seen more times in the USA comparative to Cricket in Pakistan. Google analytics state we are obsessed with cricket and dirty videos.

When he first got arrested I thought he was a traitor, but after the story broke I came to believe he's a patriot who paid a large price for his country
@@davidshallenberger392 You must be talking about Obama. He sold them uranium. I cant remember ever hearing Obama openly spurn Russia. He is also a slave to China. China owns the whole Obama administration.
I’ve always been impressed by how thoughtful and morally-focused Snowden is. He exposed crimes committed by our government, and that takes true courage.
I’m reading his book at the moment, Permanent Record, and it’s fascinating. Highly recommend it. This man is a hero and a true patriot. He should not be vilified for telling the truth.
The beginning of permanent record was quite daunting on the subject of his childhood. It was an unnecessary long portion of the book for an ordinary upbringing.
"A true patriot will defend his country from its government." ~ Thomas Jefferson We are today a fascist nation under the democrats as Reagan predicted fifty years ago. “1984” is also here just about 50 years late.

I have never believed the world with what the world said about Edward. I think that Edward did the right thing, and more people should be doing this. Thank you Edward for all that your doing.
He also leaked unredacted, detailed NATO intelligence information to Russia and China (oh the irony) which put lives at risk in the field. It wasn't journalism it was irresponsible.
Yes he did... Trump gave up everything. Trump is a very generous man that loves his Country and his love spreads across the Nation's and it shows that they love him back.

America is not a democracy, never was. A Nation's future should never hinge on the proclivities of any single person, voters on both sides are exactly the same whenever someone challenges their beliefs, and both accuse anyone who doesn't agree with their assigned talking points of supporting the other party. Thus the supporters of both parties have hijacked and sold out the rest of humanity for the sake of their own egos and lack of imagination. And this is how they've controlled us from the dawn of the 20th Century, where they pit us against each other, seed the debate with misinformation, some populism, and some catchy epithets, and continue to go about their plunder unopposed. All representatives will always be subject to influence from moneyed interests, blackmail, or assassination. The solution is a *Velvet Revolution* to install a *Scaled Direct Democracy* without representatives or politicians. Citizen Initiated Referendums with thresholds and a Social Contract using Blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without politicians. With a vote for, against, and the option to redraft, or veto, with the relative proportional thresholds. *Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete.* *#VelvetRevolution* *#ScaledDirectDemocracy* *#ThoriumEnergy* Thorium energy can process both nuclear and toxic waste, as well as make salt water desalination and carbon sequestration economically viable. It can also power synthetic fuel manufacture, and electric power for all forms of transport. Thorium reactors cannot be weaponized, are walk away safe, produce grams of waste to the tonne of conventional plants, and are low level radioactive for 300 years vs highly radioactive for 25,000. A person's lifetime of energy from thorium would cost less than $100. It also produces the world's best known cancer treatment when 1/2 adult in the western world will contract it. "The thorium molten salt power plant can produce clean energy cheaper than coal, which could be a reliable energy system toward a low carbon economy" PAL said. www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-nuclearpower-idUSKCN1UD0D0 If the profits from American labour were shared equally as they are with corporate shareholders, every household would receive $700k annually. If we got even a fraction of that we would have more than enough to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure for everybody. We must nationalise our natural resources, and legislate industrial Cooperatives. 52% of all greenhouse gases come from methane produced by Beef farming, which is currently 90% subsidized. Ending Beef Communism and embracing Hemp and Kelp farming as Moonshot technologies for use in packaging, construction, manufacturing, medicines, insulation, and clothing could alleviate the worst of climate change, sequester carbon, revitalize crop land and restore depleted habitats. It would also be conducive to have an independent public authority drawing from volunteers to act as third party advocates for the public interest, with the authority to charge and prosecute bad actors and cops in our own courts. This would ensure both Government and Law Enforcement are held to the highest standards of etiquette, ethical conduct, and equality of outcome regardless of Creed Color, or Economic bracket. Finally a National Digital Forum that allows for open sourced debate is essential for fascilatating Direct Democracy, and addressing the issues America does not want to face, from systemic racism, to ethnic cleansing as foriegn policy. If these things can't be discussed with frank honesty, civil moderation, without religious protections, and without the generic knee jerk reactionary bs, there is literally no hope for the West, as we will die by our own prejudices and cowardice. And of course Reparations, as well as Indigenous Sovereignty, if we claim to stand for anything right and true, reparations have to be a part of that picture, and no one is better suited to protect our natural environment, than the people who were already here when we arrived. qz.com/1032154/america-is-not-a-true-democracy-but-it-could-be-with-the-help-of-technology/

@randallECTRIC Snowden turned over 900,000 DOD files and immediately flew to Hong Kong to meet with Chinese and Russian authorities. They now possess those files which have nothing to do with personal data. Snowden has been a dissenter from the start. He is a high school dropout, college drop out, military drop out, and American drop out. He is a spy, saboteur, mole, enemy of the state. He is the most notorious spy ever to infiltrate American soil.

So, Snowden did ask for asylum in Russia, didn't he? ))It was actually one of his choices. ..The rest of the countries simply refused him as they were told to do so and they do not have freedome of desision... And obviously that was the right choice for Snowden as he is still alive, not sold for 33 coins by coward and corrupt government and not imprisoned, don't you think so?..) But Assange made a fatal mistake......
I am so glad that I stumbled onto this interview. After all these years of propaganda about Edward Snowden, I see him now as a Patriot, and hope that he will be able to come home someday to the country he loves.
If you ever had an opportunity to work on a job that requires you to have a security clearance, this is nothing new. I was told during my briefing on the day I applied for my clearance that if I were to leak any shred of classified information even if it was unintentional, I would not only lose my job but I would "never ever see the day of light ever again."
Notice the way Snowden giggles like a schoolboy whenever asked about the erosion of privacy, like he's actually glad it's happening. If he wasn't such an obvious shill he would be rotting in a Federal Prison somewhere, not enjoying asylum in Putin land.

This man is incredibly intelligent and a gentleman that tells the truth. Thank you for sharing Edward. Many Blessings sent to you and yours from west Texas. Blessings Be
I kinda flip flop on him like Ted Cruz did. On one side I think its patriotic, the other side makes me wonder why he fled to China and Russia making this seem much bigger than I'll probably ever know. Regardless he did brake laws. He was charged with the Espionage act and theft of government property. Kinda breaks into the whole vigilante thing, it's still a crime but a "good crime". Regardless, I do like majority of his views on government overreach. And end of the day, it'll never be my decision to make. I just know there's 10x more to the story that he isn't telling us.
Z West I know what you mean. As long as he has something bad to say about Trump, then we are allowed to dislike him. Should he say something bad about Obama, then we are allowed to hate him. Just depends, doesn’t it.
@@maggies3849 Even though I like trump, it doesn't bother me if he talks bad about him. Everything he says is hearsay right now. If he actually has evidence, bring it forward. I'd love to see transparency. I wont treat trump like the best president we've ever had. Nor will I idolize him. If Trump is lying to us all, we deserve to know. So far almost every promise trump has campaigned on has been kept and then some. Its great to be proud of. But his presidency is not over, its hard to judge him to the likes of past presidents just yet. But as you and I both know, there is ten fold more substantial dirt on Obama. Spygate and Obama gate is just a taste of the rest of the meal and backed by evidence. If but hopefully when all of this comes to light it'll open a massive flood gate where I dont know where it will end and what it will effect. Will it nullify Obamas presidency? Will that nullify and laws signed by Obama? I have no idea. Sure will be interesting so say the least.
@@sandorebussolini it's very subjective truth because it's supposed to be aligned, legal system are designed to create a moral environment. But now it's not working, it's conflicting, and tre truth is because of that, how sad is this truth: imagining you were him, wanting to raise a flag to the U.S gov to fix whatever is needed, the flaws, and he has to do it illegally only to point out what's wrong. Guess what, his morality got kicked out of the US due to his "illegal act of data mining". Legal system and people who are in responsible for boosting morality in society did the worst thing and basically say "I can't do my job because legal doens't protect you, it protects people in power, there is no morality guaranteed." Then what are we seeking for in legal system? Justice? In Russia already. That's just sad, it looks like so, but it can't be the truth and people can't keep accepting it, by accepting the fact that his statement in pain made sense "what is legal is not always moral". We are not doing anything to support his braveness who fought for the US as a man of justice.
I love how unstoppable he is in showing people how to see things clearly without any hatred perceived, if anything. he would just be like "yeah that's what they do to sidetrack you off the real situation to make a big deal about me but that's what they do, back to the problem...." in response to the interviewer. He was purely just want to teach people how to see the truth, and how to speak it. I learned so much from him these days. Watch this if anyone has a chance. ua-cam.com/video/efs3QRr8LWw/v-deo.html

Snowden - one of the most significant heroes of the century and champion to the PEOPLE of the United States. Condemned for something he should be praised and recognized for. He is an ally to freedom and true Democracy, which is why he is alienated and treated as a threat by the system. He deserves a pardon, a medal around his neck and an authoritative position within our government to help keep it the way it was always supposed to be. Ed, if you ever read this: Thank you. You continue to be a hero I hold in the highest regard.
Here, here. But credit & praise for doing what'z right from the same hierarchy that chastised & chased him out of the country under threat of imprisonment "minus the torcher"... unlikely. Though, a moronic, failed trust fund businessbaby, reality television star waz elected president so I suppose anything iz possible🤷🏾♂️😂...🤦🏾♂️.
Let not forget a liar. Did you read any information about his government service. He lied about a lot of it. Google information prior to typing and you won't appear ignorant to the facts.

WOW, I'm extremely impress with this guy, very straight forward. I don't know that I would've had the balls to do what he did. His conduct is what separates heros from the average person. He loves this country enough to sacrifice everything to protect us from our own gov't & defend our constitutional rights.
How can we even continue with, believing that we are private citizens, and have no worries about being invaded by the government ??? Why would we want to chomp on the bit waiting for the next big super device, that has even better servailence capabilities to get your private data, to keep track of your daily activities!!! WHY!!!! Should we even want to have any kind of device that tells government exactly what you do???
And now we know our history books aren’t always our true history. After the revelations I’ve learned in 2019-2020 all the way from our elections being rigged big time, to 911 being an inside job, to Bush regime being responsible for so many deaths to Gates and WHO killing off nations, I doubt they’ll remember a true hero in Snowden. But I pray they do!!
"They" may have a brief excerpt of him in a history book, but not more than that. "They" don't want ppl to get any ideas or immortalize Snowden- he went straight against their system of control!
Not only is this man HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, he possesses conviction, and right or wrong in the end, he stands for what he did with an unwavering and unapologetic posture.
Bottom line is we are witnessing a natural citizen of the U.S. being persecuted for standing up for what's RIGHT. And its being framed in a way to make us feel patriotic so we can keep fighting for what we think is right on behalf of "OUR" great country/government... or at the very least buy a book. Everyone should start flying the "great" flag upside down... That's when you KNOW your neighbor has had enough! Haha
Well loving your country includes loving its values and what it symbolically stands for. To see the government go against those values would spur any true patriot to take action.
He wasn't educated actually. He didn't even graduate high school. He's essentially an autodidact. He is extremely intelligent and well read but he did that outside of the education system. Read his book, it's all in there.
Idk if I'd go that far but true if not for him we never would've known the truth of this but he did sell info to our enemies and put us at risk anyway. He could've handled better. He was scared and I'm sure there's much more to this story.

"No one really wants to be a whistle blower." The simple fact that they do decide to come forward knowing their lives are likely never going to be as they were, is a statement more powerful than words can muster. They are the few that can actually say with meaning, I AM A PATRIOT! It's criminal that this man lives in exile still.
Agreed. He presents as both articulate and principled. I might add while I don't agree with what is going on with Assange, IMO his motivations where less selfless than Snowden's.
Tell that to the judge who didn't care that I had swerved into the emergency lane to prevent getting hit by a truck. He basically said I broke the law. The problem with legal and moral is that the law is written and it is clear. Moral can be interpreted many different ways.
I hope Snowden knows we appreciate his courage to reveal some scary truths at his own expense. And that someday his life can continue in the United States with his family.
FOR THOSE WHO SAY “IM INNOCENT,I DO NOTHING WRONG ,I HAVE NO REASON TO HIDE”. Like it has always been since the beginning of time where people lives together with others . “ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE INNOCENT OF ,ITS WHAT SOMEONE CAN MAKE OUT OF IT”. Period !
This interview leaves me astounded once again at the honesty and brilliance of Edward Snowden. I will probably view this interview again and again as a way to keep me on the side of respect for humanity and what nurtures our lives.
Revealing classified information to journalists is the "crime" Edward Snowden committed. Here's what Chalmers Johnson, former US intelligence officer and author of "Blowback" -- which predicted a 9/11 style attack a year before it happened, says about classified information: "All classified information is classified to protect the personal or career interests of government actors. True secrets are simply closely held by prudent people. There is zero security justification for the classified system".
Its all a game man. You really think the US Government would allow him to be alive right now if they really wanted it otherwise? Trust me there is NOTHING stopping them.
The government, this president or the previous, can have him erased from history. I don't think they're too afraid. I watch him but I'm not convinced by his platitudes. Oh and he's got a book out. Don't forget to pick one up today! 🙄🤑🤮💩
Every Government has evil, he betrayed his country and the people. Do you think other countries are nice friendly honest people in their governments? ................ Snowflakes.
@Jun Don : what does his being in Russia have to do with his heroic efforts to stop our government from breaking the law and going against our consitution by spying on every American, including YOU (and I mean every American, regardless of their past)
The whole point of the law is to uphold the very rights promised by our constitution Let’s keep in mind that the only “law” he broke was telling a member of the press that our government was violating our privacy, and therefore violating our fundamental constitutional rights
@Jun Don - Broke the trust of his employers ? The US government was keeping tabs on every single CITIZEN and violating our privacy and our rights as US citizens. Are you seriously arguing that with “Employer/Employee trust”???

Occam's Razor is in plain sight regarding Edward Snowden. He is 100% a plant by the corporate-owned government.

Maybe but China will be the No1 super power soon, America lost alot of power after what he did. Personally I'd rather America was in charge of the world than China because my country is allied with America!

I say Mr. Snowden is one of the best speakers I have heard, ever. I have never formed an opinion of him because he is not one to share much of himself.

And obviously revealing the extent of this survilance has led to changes.

America is not a democracy, never was. A Nation's future should never hinge on the proclivities of any single person, voters on both sides are exactly the same whenever someone challenges their beliefs, and both accuse anyone who doesn't agree with their assigned talking points of supporting the other party. Thus the supporters of both parties have hijacked and sold out the rest of humanity for the sake of their own egos and lack of imagination.
And this is how they've controlled us from the dawn of the 20th Century, where they pit us against each other, seed the debate with misinformation, some populism, and some catchy epithets, and continue to go about their plunder unopposed. All representatives will always be subject to influence from moneyed interests, blackmail, or assassination.
The solution is a *Velvet Revolution* to install a *Scaled Direct Democracy* without representatives or politicians. Citizen Initiated Referendums with thresholds and a Social Contract using Blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without politicians. With a vote for, against, and the option to redraft, or veto, with the relative proportional thresholds.
*Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete.*
*#VelvetRevolution*
*#ScaledDirectDemocracy*
*#ThoriumEnergy*
Thorium energy can process both nuclear and toxic waste, as well as make salt water desalination and carbon sequestration economically viable. It can also power synthetic fuel manufacture, and electric power for all forms of transport. Thorium reactors cannot be weaponized, are walk away safe, produce grams of waste to the tonne of conventional plants, and are low level radioactive for 300 years vs highly radioactive for 25,000. A person's lifetime of energy from thorium would cost less than $100. It also produces the world's best known cancer treatment when 1/2 adult in the western world will contract it.
"The thorium molten salt power plant can produce clean energy cheaper than coal, which could be a reliable energy system toward a low carbon economy" PAL said.

If the profits from American labour were shared equally as they are with corporate shareholders, every household would receive $700k annually. If we got even a fraction of that we would have more than enough to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure for everybody. We must nationalise our natural resources, and legislate industrial Cooperatives.
52% of all greenhouse gases come from methane produced by Beef farming, which is currently 90% subsidized. Ending Beef Communism and embracing Hemp and Kelp farming as Moonshot technologies for use in packaging, construction, manufacturing, medicines, insulation, and clothing could alleviate the worst of climate change, sequester carbon, revitalize crop land and restore depleted habitats.
It would also be conducive to have an independent public authority drawing from volunteers to act as third party advocates for the public interest, with the authority to charge and prosecute bad actors and cops in our own courts. This would ensure both Government and Law Enforcement are held to the highest standards of etiquette, ethical conduct, and equality of outcome regardless of Creed Color, or Economic bracket.
Finally a National Digital Forum that allows for open sourced debate is essential for fascilatating Direct Democracy, and addressing the issues America does not want to face, from systemic racism, to ethnic cleansing as foriegn policy. If these things can't be discussed with frank honesty, civil moderation, without religious protections, and without the generic knee jerk reactionary bs, there is literally no hope for the West, as we will die by our own prejudices and cowardice. And of course Reparations, as well as Indigenous Sovereignty, if we claim to stand for anything right and true, reparations have to be a part of that picture, and no one is better suited to protect our natural environment, than the people who were already here when we arrived.

This man gave up everything to tell the America people the truth. Our Founding Fathers would be proud and we should be too.
No, he gave up everything to tell foreign countries. He was not a patriot. He was a saboteur.
He gave up everything including being an American, sold out to the press and defected to Russia, turned off the NSAs firewall and opened us up for the Russian coup of 2016. He isnt allowed back here. Ever. This isnt an American.
An absolute true American Patriot. He reminds us why American exceptionalism used to be a thing.
@randallECTRIC Snowden turned over 900,000 DOD files and immediately flew to Hong Kong to meet with Chinese and Russian authorities. They now possess those files which have nothing to do with personal data. Snowden has been a dissenter from the start. He is a high school dropout, college drop out, military drop out, and American drop out. He is a spy, saboteur, mole, enemy of the state. He is the most notorious spy ever to infiltrate American soil.

Call him what you will, but Edward Snowden is a hero in my eyes
I kinda flip flop on him like Ted Cruz did. On one side I think its patriotic, the other side makes me wonder why he fled to China and Russia making this seem much bigger than I'll probably ever know. Regardless he did brake laws. He was charged with the Espionage act and theft of government property. Kinda breaks into the whole vigilante thing, it's still a crime but a "good crime". Regardless, I do like majority of his views on government overreach. And end of the day, it'll never be my decision to make. I just know there's 10x more to the story that he isn't telling us.

I know what you mean. As long as he has something bad to say about Trump, then we are allowed to dislike him. Should he say something bad about Obama, then we are allowed to hate him. Just depends, doesn’t it.
@@maggies3849 Even though I like trump, it doesn't bother me if he talks bad about him. Everything he says is hearsay right now. If he actually has evidence, bring it forward. I'd love to see transparency. I wont treat trump like the best president we've ever had. Nor will I idolize him. If Trump is lying to us all, we deserve to know. So far almost every promise trump has campaigned on has been kept and then some. Its great to be proud of. But his presidency is not over, its hard to judge him to the likes of past presidents just yet. But as you and I both know, there is ten fold more substantial dirt on Obama. Spygate and Obama gate is just a taste of the rest of the meal and backed by evidence. If but hopefully when all of this comes to light it'll open a massive flood gate where I dont know where it will end and what it will effect. Will it nullify Obamas presidency? Will that nullify and laws signed by Obama? I have no idea. Sure will be interesting so say the least.

"what is legal is not always moral" and his statement hits me home, legality and morality are two different things in this world.
Absolutely beautiful!
Isn't that the truth. Abortion comes to mind.
@@sandorebussolini it's very subjective truth because it's supposed to be aligned, legal system are designed to create a moral environment. But now it's not working, it's conflicting, and tre truth is because of that, how sad is this truth: imagining you were him, wanting to raise a flag to the U.S gov to fix whatever is needed, the flaws, and he has to do it illegally only to point out what's wrong. Guess what, his morality got kicked out of the US due to his "illegal act of data mining". Legal system and people who are in responsible for boosting morality in society did the worst thing and basically say "I can't do my job because legal doens't protect you, it protects people in power, there is no morality guaranteed."
Then what are we seeking for in legal system? Justice? In Russia already.
That's just sad, it looks like so, but it can't be the truth and people can't keep accepting it, by accepting the fact that his statement in pain made sense "what is legal is not always moral". We are not doing anything to support his braveness who fought for the US as a man of justice.
I love how unstoppable he is in showing people how to see things clearly without any hatred perceived, if anything. he would just be like "yeah that's what they do to sidetrack you off the real situation to make a big deal about me but that's what they do, back to the problem...." in response to the interviewer.

Snowden - one of the most significant heroes of the century and champion to the PEOPLE of the United States. Condemned for something he should be praised and recognized for. He is an ally to freedom and true Democracy, which is why he is alienated and treated as a threat by the system.
He deserves a pardon, a medal around his neck and an authoritative position within our government to help keep it the way it was always supposed to be.
Ed, if you ever read this: Thank you. You continue to be a hero I hold in the highest regard.

Best quote from Snowden: “What is legal is not always the same as what is moral”.
Mark M. Aka slavery
Tell that to the judge who didn't care that I had swerved into the emergency lane to prevent getting hit by a truck. He basically said I broke the law. The problem with legal and moral is that the law is written and it is clear. Moral can be interpreted many different ways.
True, but, everyone's morals are different. Living only by morals is just anarchy.
“True.but, everyone’s morals are different”
Is this statement based upon your own morality or what you know to be absolutely true?
The basis for moral behaviour is practical selfishness
I hope Snowden knows we appreciate his courage to reveal some scary truths at his own expense. And that someday his life can continue in the United States with his family.
FOR THOSE WHO SAY “IM INNOCENT,I DO NOTHING WRONG ,I HAVE NO REASON TO HIDE”.

Revealing classified information to journalists is the "crime" Edward Snowden committed. Here's what Chalmers Johnson, former US intelligence officer and author of "Blowback" -- which predicted a 9/11 style attack a year before it happened, says about classified information: "All classified information is classified to protect the personal or career interests of government actors. True secrets are simply closely held by prudent people. There is zero security justification for the classified system".
Its all a game man. You really think the US Government would allow him to be alive right now if they really wanted it otherwise? Trust me there is NOTHING stopping them.
The government, this president or the previous, can have him erased from history. I don't think they're too afraid. I watch him but I'm not convinced by his platitudes. Oh and he's got a book out. Don't forget to pick one up today! 🙄🤑🤮💩
