Pre-recorded thanks message from Moscow, upon receiving the Stuttgart Peace Prize this past Sunday. ================== [via Anonymous Berlin] _____ «Intriguing statement:» Snowden can not be intimidated! «Sunday Edward Snowden was Visiting in Stuttgart. He was with a live circuit when he was awarded the peace prize Stuttgart. In his speech, Snowden is reminiscent of his difficult decision as a whistleblower and explained why he felt it was his moral duty to go to the public. Here are the German translation of the speech: [...] First I would like to thank you-thank you very much. It is an incredible honour to be awarded, what I believe to be of any obligation for something. Their award shows me how much force in our society. As citizens we must rely on, that our Government provides us with truthful information about their policies and their activities. That mean I not, that we need to know the names of any individual terrorist suspects or any police investigation, which will take place. But we need to understand at least the broad outlines of the policies our Government. The power that they plan and the way it is used, both on behalf of the country, as well as the nation and the society, and against us in our communities with the people we love and with people who hurt us. While I worked in the national security agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, have I seen many people who have tried to do good work under difficult circumstances. Really dangerous though is that all thoughts about did in which direction these programs evolved, but nobody was willing to stand up and express his concerns. Because they are afraid of the consequences. They fear that the Government and the most senior officials revenge, destroy their lives, ruining her career, would bring them to jail. We have continually seen this kind of retaliation in the United States. Starting with Thomas Drake, who had the courage to uncover the abuse of surveillance in the United States. He was kicked out. He was indicted as a spy, because he allegedly has made journalists information available. As if he had passed information about spies, the terrorist groups abroad infiltrate. You have lifelong prison threatened him, threatened that he would - see his family for decades and he did it anyway. Even though he knew that the retaliation would come. Ultimately the courts dropped the charges but, and the whole case has collapsed in itself, because the Government realized that she was in the wrong. Another was decided differently. For example, in the case of Chelsea Manning, of the corporal, who has seen incidents where military units had it apart with military means to journalists. He has made public their participation. Now, who is also always responsible holds, what happened. We have seen time and again that not the senior officials, who had the responsibility for unfair policies, were punished, but the people on the lower levels. As I said, every action, every statement varies. And these programs were not corrected. Ive discussed this with my people, and we were all very concerned. We were wondering what to do. What we can do. The answer was that no matter how bad the violations, whether it is an attack on our whole constitutional order, regardless of whether the laws in the United States as well as in the wider context of international law were broken: These people have told me that this is not our problem. They warned me that the risk for me would be too great, said I should think about my family, my job. And I should think about it, what would happen if I would have to spend the next 30 years in prison. In hindsight, it was a surprisingly true prophecy. Because as Ive returned this information to the American public, so those people this information belong and where they were provided unfairly, since the Government has actually accused me, as if I were a spy, and threatened me exactly these 30 years prison. But even if I cant go home and even though Im still abroad, I continue day after day, to keep alive the awareness of the abuse of this power. I will further reveal how our law is broken, how corporations and Governments have teamed up to change the meaning of our fundamental rights and the limits of our freedoms, to dictate to us, what we do and what is not. What we all can do without monitoring to https://facebook/joseph.zernik/posts/10205271452687236
