Glenn Greenwald cytaty

Glenn Edward Greenwald – amerykański prawnik, dziennikarz i pisarz.

Był felietonistą Guardiana od sierpnia 2012 do października 2013. Był felietonistą Salon.com od 2007 do 2012 roku, a od czasu do czasu był współpracownikiem The Guardian. Greenwald pracował jako prawnik zajmujący się sprawami przestrzegania praw konstytucyjnych oraz obywatelskich. W Salonie pisał jako felietonista i bloger, koncentrując się na tematach politycznych oraz prawnych. W lutym 2014 roku został wraz z Laurą Poitras i Jeremy Scahill jednym z założycieli oraz redaktorów The Intercept.

Greenwald został nazwany przez magazyn Foreign Policy jako jeden z 100 najlepszych światowych myślicieli 2013 roku. Cztery z pięciu książek, które napisał, zostały uznane za najlepiej sprzedające się w The New York Times. Greenwald jest prelegentem na uczelniach, w tym Harvard, Yale, na Uniwersytecie w Pensylwanii, Brown University, UCLA, na Uniwersytecie Wisconsin oraz University of Maryland.

Greenwald otrzymał wiele nagród, w tym pierwszą nagrodę Izzy dla niezależnych dziennikarzy w 2009 roku oraz w 2010 nagrodę dla najlepszego komentatora.

W czerwcu 2013 stał się powszechnie znany po opublikowaniu w The Guardian pierwszego z serii raportów szczegółowo opisujących globalną inwigilację przez amerykańską Narodową Agencję Bezpieczeństwa oraz brytyjską agencję wywiadu elektronicznego GCHQ, ujawnioną przez Edwarda Snowdena. Greenwald wraz z innymi zaangażowanymi w publikowanie zdobytych materiałów na temat inwigilacji zdobył w 2014 Nagrodę Pulitzera za wkład w służbę publiczną.

Jego praca na materiałach dotyczących NSA była tematem filmu Citizenfour, który zdobył w 2014 Oscara za najlepszy film dokumentalny. Greenwald pojawił się na scenie podczas ceremonii wręczenia Oscarów z reżyserką filmu Laurą Poitras.

Greenwald mieszka w Rio de Janeiro w Brazylii, w rodzinnym mieście jego partnera Dawida Michaela Mirandy. Greenwald stwierdził, że jego pobyt w Brazylii jest wynikiem amerykańskiego prawa , które na poziomie federalnym nie uznaje małżeństw osób tej samej płci. Uniemożliwiło to jego partnerowi otrzymania wizy na pobyt w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Greenwald miał również obawy odnośnie jego możliwego aresztowania za działanie w sprawie inwigilacji na szeroką skalę przez służby amerykańskie.

No Place to Hide (2014)
Źródło: No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State
Kontekst: 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.

“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.”

“The fact thatis the word we use for almost everything—on terrorism, drugs, even poverty—has certainly helped to desensitize us to its invocation; if we wage wars on everything, how bad can they be?”

Źródło: 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.”
