This guy is just amazing. Very well spoken, eloquent, concise. Doesn't ramble or have delusions about himself. Just a good guy who had insider knowledge on a lot of unpleasant things.

This man is an ABSOLUTE HERO, anyone that says different is an enemy of the state and to the American people.

The question is "Did Snowden do the right thing in leaking NSA files?" THe answer is "Are the NSA doing the right thing?"

"I don't wanna live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of of of of creativity or or love or friendship is recorded, and that's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build, and it's not something I'm willing to live under." -Edward Snowden I love how it's spoken so much from the heart and he stands up for what is right, not what is easy.

He’s a hero! In his book and the movie, many government contractors were scared and if they spoke up, they knew they would have lost their jobs, been moved or let go? He had no choice because he cared about the US and the world.

Thank you, Snowden.

Edward is amazing really brave he should be a hero he should deserve a award for what he did

After this interview I find him to be an inspiration to me and an example in bravery for us all

This guy stood up to the US. You must have some balls to do that. And a pretty good reason to. What a hero!

I love this man. Hope someday soon he can return home with no fear of being silenced.

Thank you for risking your life for this information I hope that people learn a lesson from this

why dosent this have millions of views? people need to wake up!

Good luck buddy... I pray for you.

in this world where times are hard and everyone is scared this guy had the balls to stand up and expose the superpower of the world and open everyone's eyes eventho he knows that he will become dead man walking

Fucking right man im tired of hearing this guy is a traitor this man is a fucking hero

I honestly feel bad for him

if there wer more people like him in this world then the government's will have a big problem and this guy deserves the respect of American people who should stand by him and support him and also everyone else in the world

Top Respect for Edward Snowden

It's pretty sad that whenever someone like snowden decides to finally stand-up against our system and say "hey open your eyes everyone", that he feels that he has to seclude himself in another country to feel safe. This country isn't what it once was, If he is put on trial or anything, I can honestly say that I'd confidently defend him because this just isn't right. As American citizens, we have a right to privacy. We have a right to say what we want to say. The government is threatened by this man because they're afraid he's going to expose them for what they really are: sneaky, lying cowards. And that's exactly what he's done. Hopefully everyone else will finally realize that our so called "government" is taking on tyrannical attributes and idk about the rest of you but, I'd really rather not fall under a dictatorship.

Ed Snowden for president

wow this needs to make headline news!

I do not doubt it. He is one hero! Exposes crimes in our government! Great job! Tax payer money deserves more! “We the people”

Thank you Snowden. You will not be alone. The courage you have will be talked about. I am a U.S citizen and you seem as patriotic as I do.

Thank you Edward!

Just watched the movie snowden and came here. This is now real scenario..thrilled 😃😃

Edward Snowden is the greatest and (perhaps) the most courageous hero that the United States of America has ever seen. He, single handedly took on the greatest threat to world peace and the most powerful entity in the history of mankind (up to this point). I say this with no shame and zero anonymity. Thank you Snowden. 🙏🏻

Love that he did what he did, but the irony of him not wanting to be watched and recorded pushed him to leak this info, and now he'll always be watched and recorded...

Very interesting to hear your words edward. Go on!

What do you think of Edward Snowden?

A very brave person indeed

Should get a medal for valor in my opinion even though he was not in military at the time but is still serving not just the United States but everyone, we will see how it plays out Rand Paul's class action lawsuit for the illegal information gathering has been ruled illegal by the Courts, the mentality that snitches get stitches... no one likes a squeeler... we deal with this in everyday life all the time but this is way more important if someone needs help should you not help or rise up against something is wrong or should we just sit back and follow in line..

'till we meet again! lol Thank You Snowden!

True Hero. ♥️

Thank you so much, Edward Snowden

Peace...

Snowden is gr8. Thank you, Edward Snowden!

WE LOVE YOU EDDIE !!!!

They're going to have to watch everyone, but we need more gatekeepers to prevent them from doing what they're doing. They couldn't handle it. They've proven that.

Edward is a real hero

how can we help him? can some one start a donation site to help him with funds?

2:21, idk why you cut him off, I would have liked to hear him finish his sentence..

is there a place to view the documents he released?

A true patriot

"abruptly changed his mind"? How do you know this? Did he not wrestle with a moral dilemma over a period of time? Was it not gradual as his security clearance got higher? Why would you make such an ignorant assumption? Do you work for the NSA? Are you privy to information I am not? If so, please blow the whistle.

Why when i type aliens then this video comes out?

It had to be done, unfortunately. Yes, I support him. And I feel badly for him, stuck in some other country for the foreseeable future. I wonder, do you think he views this site and its comments? I would like to know the next Q & A session. I missed the notification of Thursday's event?

He looks like he hasn't slept in the months of 2008

Edward Snowden is hero for our world...from India🇮🇳

suprising this only has 82000 views

33,000 views? We are so asleep zzzz

V.I. Kydor Kropotkin: Are you trying to tell me every phone in the country is tapped? Don Masters, CEA Agent: That's what's in my head. V.I. Kydor Kropotkin: Don, this is America, not Russia! I guess satire has become redundant

Not all heroes wear capes

I'm sue the NSA with this proof...

Oh shit! Now I get it.... Dude, it's your story ... whatever sails your boat

That's my point

We all know what he is trying to tell us. We have known for years. So its about time guys like him stop putting their lives on the line when no one else wants to change anything.

For years I've heard friends and family respond to the news by saying that Thomas Jefferson or John Adams is rolling in his grave. Today I believe Samuel Adams is jumping up and down, shouting Huzzahs, and begging St Peter to allow him (Samuel) to meet Edward Snowden at the pearly gates. For many years Dr. Martin Luther King Jr has been my modern American hero. Today, Edward Snowden just usurped that throne!

His south node conjuncts the galactic center

My hero :) Freedom choice !!!

Came after watching the movie Snowden

This is America, they wouldn't be doing all this to us.. 🐑🐑🐑 I call not !!!

dude is an American hero!

Assuming that Snowden's facts are truthful, where the question for me is how are they using this information that is being collected and monitoring, and to what ends? There absolutely should be privacy among the people, the problem is that the people do not monitor the government; the government monitors itself which allows them to do whatever the would like.

I guess some people will never learn

Applause

Edward you are a true a TRUE HERO to stand up to the EVIL EMPIRE! God bless you for exposing them!!!

The "information" in the past was under speculation, but now we have released documents telling us what is happening.

He beat the system and our govt is embarrassed and upset about it

I'm so tired of seeing this ad to me it feels like his body language is saying stop and look

That whats up.

This info has been online since 2006

Well they haven't said I aided the enemies by exposing the same thing in a different way and other things

lets be honest, there ate more citizens than politician but not enough who are willing to get beat, maced, tear gassed and or arrested for what they believe in. cause it happens even at peaceful protest.

In response to Ross, we are what we eat, but I don't know what that has to do with this post. Snowden is a patriot and should be praised for his patriotism.

And who are you mr?

What he describes reminds me of the upcoming game watchdogs

If a government wanted to do away with certain undesirables in society, the first and most difficult obstacle would be to identify them. Technology has made that task a very easy thing to accomplish in just the last 15 years or so. I wonder what the next 15 years will bring. I also wonder what constitutes an undesirable.

Why cant I find the original uncut video interview? All this and part 1 is, are edited clips? In this and the other vid you have, you are only allowing him to state views and opinions, besides prism, these vids (being cut and edited) are literally the censorship that Edward is against. Please respond with the info on how I can view the entire uncut video. Anyone. Thank you.

what u should learn from this is never take intimate photos or personal pictures and data on your phone,laptop etc... and use a cheap Nokia mobile phone and continually keep changing sim cards

he looks like the protagonist of OUTLAST

Well they removed your shelter in place video

Came after the movie ! 😎

The USG considers me an adversary. Of course they blanket that label on everyone. I don't consider that a demonic accomplishment. Now, the lawyer who proves that adversary is not the same thing as enemy deserves a Norman Medal of Borlaug.

correction for typo --> "cerebrectomize(d)"

Edward Snowden Should be a free man!

Snowden is the best

I'm not from America but i see all this support for Snowden online. yet i see nothing happening in the states. Look at Egypt. its is possible, you need to organize and do something. Most people from the outside see what is happening in your country, time to step up and wake up the millions of american sheep and do something.

I believe he is a hero

Andrew Snowden is my hero

Lightworker x😇

Beating the system with its own weapons is funny. We now have the information about them having all information. That's simply fair!

2:50 he just said it right in front of all you. There is nothing free here or freedom anymore here in America.

Gentlemen! I’m here because I am fucked. Somebody jump into my computer server and take the information out

Snowden should be pardoned!!!

This is like 7 years old and if you look at the views this was a big issuse and it have under 2M views between all of the vids

Operation Mindcrime

"brainwash" is appropriate only for those whose brains are washable (which means there exists a "brain", to be washed), for some others, as in the case of this instant case that you were addressing to, a new coinage is required, which comes as "brainbleach(ed)", or "cerebrectomy [cerebr-, cerebrum + -ectomy] " and "cerebrecomize(d) [ + -ize]".

This is an often-repeated, and really quite stupid comment. I wish people would stop making it: Just because everyone does it (and I don't believe that they do) does *not* make it right. Nobody's right when everybody's wrong.
