Frases célebres de Glenn Greenwald

“La transparencia es para quienes tienen obligaciones públicas y ejercen el poder público. La privacidad es para todos los demás.”

Glenn Greenwald

Snowden. Sin un lugar donde esconderse

“«Pero si es el resultado final de todo esto, y sé que hay una elevada probabilidad de que así sea, decidí hace tiempo que puedo aguantar lo que sea. Lo único que no puedo aguantar es saber que no hice nada.»”

Glenn Greenwald

Snowden. Sin un lugar donde esconderse

“Ante el descontento social, las autoridad suelen tener dos opciones: apaciguar a la población con concesiones simbólicas o reforzar el control para reducir al mínimo el daño que eso pueda causar a sus intereses. Al parecer, las élites occidentales consideran que la segunda opción —fortalecer su poder— es el mejor procedimiento, acaso el único viable, para proteger su posición.”

Glenn Greenwald

Snowden. Sin un lugar donde esconderse

“En nuestra vida cotidiana hay rastros que no podemos explicar y acaso sean totalmente nimios. Sin embargo, su representación mediante un dispositivo de localización… les confiere significado, lo que al parecer exige dar una cantidad tremenda de justificaciones. Esto genera ansiedades, sobre todo en las relaciones íntimas, en las que las personas quizá sientan una mayor presión para explicar cosas que simplemente no son capaces de explicar.”

Glenn Greenwald

Snowden. Sin un lugar donde esconderse

“«La verdadera medida del valor de una persona no es aquello en que dice que cree, sino lo que hace para defender esas creencias», dijo. «Si no actúas con arreglo a tus creencias, seguramente no son reales.»”

No Place to Hide (2014)
Fuente: No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State
Contexto: Democracy requires accountability and consent of the governed, which is only possible if citizens know what is being done in their name. [... ] Conversely, the presumption is that the government, with rare exceptions, will not know anything that law-abiding citizens are doing. [... ] Transparency is for those who carry out public duties and exercise public power. Privacy is for everyone else.

Penguin Books 2015 edition, page 209.

“Terrorist', noun: 1. Someone my government tells me is a terrorist; 2. Someone my President decides to kill.”

“The true measurement of a person’s worth isn’t what they say they believe in, but what they do in defense of those beliefs,” he said. “If you’re not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren’t real.”

Fuente: A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency

“The NSA and GCHQ … are obsessed with searching out any small little crevice on the planet where some forms of communication may be taking place without them being able to invade it. … They are obsessed with finding ways to invade the systems of online, onboard internet services and mobile phone services, because the very idea that human beings can communicate even for a few moments without them being able to collect and store and analyze and monitor what it is that we're saying is simply intolerable.”

CCC 2013 keynote, December 2013 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/27/greenwald_30c3/

“Forgoing privacy in a quest for absolute safety is as harmful to a healthy psyche and life of an individual as it is to a healthy political culture. For the individual, safety first means a life of paralysis and fear, never entering a car or airplane, never engaging in an activity that entails risk, never weighing quality of life over quantity, and paying any price to avoid danger. […] A population, a country that venerates physical safety above all other values will ultimately give up it’s liberty and sanction any power seized by authority in exchange for the promise, no matter how illusory, of total security. However, absolute safety is itself chimeric, pursued but never obtained. The pursuit degrades those who engage in it as well as any nation that comes to be defined by it.”

“What is lost when the private realm is abolished are many of the attributes typically associated with quality of life. Most people have experienced how privacy enables liberation from constraint. And we’ve all, conversely, had the experience of engaging in private behavior when we thought we were alone – dancing, confessing, exploring sexual expression, sharing untested ideas – only to feel shame at having been seen by others.”

“But it is human beings collectively, not a small number of elites working in secret, who can decide what kind of world we want to live in. Promoting the human capacity to reason and make decisions: that is the purpose of whistle-blowing, of activism, of political journalism. And that’s what is happening now, thanks to the revelations brought about by Edward Snowden.”

“Through a carefully cultivated display of intimidation to anyone who contemplated a meaningful challenge, the [United States] government had striven to show poeple 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.”

“Some of the surveillance was ostensibly devoted to terrorism suspects. But great quantities of the programs manifestly had nothing to do with national security. The documents left no doubt that the NSA was equally involved in economic espionage, diplomatic spying, and suspicionless surveillance aimed at entire populations. Taken in its entirety, the Snowden archive led to an ultimately simple conclusion: the US government had built a system that has as its goal the complete elimination of electronic privacy worldwide. Far from hyperbole, that is the literal, explicitly stated aim of the surveillance state: to collect, store, monitor, and analyze all electronic communication by all people around the globe.”

“It's so ironic they [the Democratic Party] spent four years claiming they are fighting fascism and authoritarianism, and what are they trying to do now? They're trying to harness corporate and monopoly power to silence everyone who disagrees with them, the very hallmark, the epitome of the fascism they claim to be fighting, but which in reality they embody.”
