Quotes
- “The national religion in the United States is worship of all things military. And journalists are its high priests.”
- “The history of human knowledge is nothing more than the realization that yesterday's pieties are actually shameful errors.”
- “No matter the specific techniques involved, historically mass surveillance has had several constant attributes. [...] A citizenry that is aware of always being watched quickly becomes a compliant and fearful one.”
- “[The first article about NSA surveillance] "It's everywhere," Snowden said, clearly excited. "I watched all your interviews. Everyone seemed to get it."”
- “History leaves no doubt that collective coercion and control is both the intent and effect of state surveillance.”
- “Through a carefully cultivated display of intimidation to anyone who contemplated a meaningful challenge, the [United States] government had striven to show people around the world that its power was constrained by neither law nor ethics, neither morality nor the Constitution: look what we can do and will do to those who impede our agenda.”
