Edward Snowden

In my next post in wth2u. I want to talk about one of the two most important people in the last decade of American history. Edward Snowden is the man you see to the right. In this video he speaks out against the NSA and it's surveillance practices.

This link will take you to the guardian where the story broke over the weekend. 
The PRISM whistleblower. Why did he end up in this blog? Well because he believes he will imminently Disappear from existence saying in the video interview: "If they want to get you, they will get you."

He also goes to talk further about the amount of power US intelligence has. In most cases seemingly more than the government itself.

"My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them." Said Snowden in the interview Greenwald with The Guardian.

This is what press should look like, this is what our job is. Watchdogs of power and overreach.

So when a year from now people are asking what the hell happen to Edward Snowden, at least we will have some idea why he disappeared.

Edward Snowden, a real hero.
