Sau Edward Snowden, Đang Có Một Người Nữa Ngấm Ngầm Đưa Bằng Chứng Tội Phạm Nhà Nước An Ninh Mỹ Ra Ánh Sáng

Sau Edward Snowden, Đang Có Một Người Nữa Ngấm Ngầm Đưa Bằng Chứng Tội Phạm Nhà Nước An Ninh Mỹ Ra Ánh Sáng Công Chúng.

Nhà làm phim tài liệu và ký giả Laura Poitras cùng Glenn Greenwald đang cho trình chiếu tập phim tài liệu nói về diễn biến sự kiện Edward Snowden. Trong đó không chỉ là những chi tiết và hình ảnh can đảm thông minh khéo léo của Snowden, của các nhà báo liên hệ, nó diễn tả chân xác ĐỘNG LỰC THÚC ĐẨY người thanh niên này từ bỏ quyền lợi ấm êm để thông báo cho quần chúng khắp thế giới về tội phạm nhà nước. Nguyên Lý Đạo Lý của chủ quyền cá nhân con người nền tảng là quyền RIÊNG TƯ đã buộc anh phải có quyết định triệt để. Trong phim tài liệu này, nó còn cho chúng ta thấy sự cẩn trọng căn bản và cần thiết, mà nhiều người do kém kiến thức và nhận thức vẫn cho là "đa nghi thái quá" (paranoia) của một chuyên gia như Snowden đối với mạng lưới và kỹ thuật rình mò trộm cắp của hệ thống nhà nước chính phủ.




Trong tập phim tài liệu này có 3 chi tiết mới đáng chú ý. Đó là:
a- Chính phủ Mỹ rình mò trộm cắp không chừa một ai, nhưng riêng 1 triệu 2 trăm ngàn (1,200,000)  công dân đủ mọi thành phần ngay trong nước Mỹ đang bị liệt kê vào danh sách đen thường trực!!!
b-Đang có một nhân viên an ninh khác chuyển thông tin bằng chứng tội phạm của chính phủ Mỹ đến nhóm ký giả Glenn Greenwald.
c- Snowden sau khi bị chính phủ Mỹ dồn vào thế phải ở lại Nga, tưởng đã bị vây khốn, chật vật cô đơn căng thẳng... Nhưng thật sự Snowden sống rất bình thản và kiên trì tiếp tục làm việc, nhất là người bạn gái "vũ nữ" cũng đã bỏ "tổ cò" Mỹ đến chung sống với anh ta tại Nga từ mấy tháng nay.

Ngoài những chi tiết chính trị, phim tài liệu cho chúng ta một cảm nhận đặc biệt về Ý Nghĩa của Tự Do và Tự Chủ qua suy tư và hành động của cặp tình nhân này.

Riêng Glenn Greenwald đã được đề nghị nhận giải báo chí điều tra cao nhất Pulitzer Prize, và dĩ nhiên hiện nay chẳng có ai xứng đáng hơn Glenn Greenwald.

Snowden Film "Citizen Four" Reveals How He Did It; Second Leaker Involved; Files on 1.2 Million People; Snowden Vindicated

Once again I salute Edwards Snowden as an all-American hero. On second thought, make that an all-world hero.

A movie on how and why Snowden revealed NSA wiretaps is about to be released.

Showbiz reports Edward Snowden Doc Premieres: Shocking Inside Look at How He Did It.

Citizen Four is the shocking doc about Edward Snowden made by Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. Just screened tonight was the two hour film which will be released by the Weinstein Company this month. It doesn’t paint the Obama administration in a very good light as Snowden explains how the government has violated privacy rights on a massive scale.

Also the filmmakers clearly indicate that all roads lead to POTUS, a fairly serious accusation. There may be serious repercussions.

Then there’s the Hollywoodization of Snowden. The detail of how and why Snowden went about this is pretty surprising considering how the 29 year old former NSA employee says he wants his own privacy and not to be a celebrity. It’s instructive to see his evolution from eyeglass wearing nerd to contact lenses and moussed up hair sporting hero of his own thriller. It’s all very Tom Cruise. Even the beautiful girlfriend sets up housekeeping with him in Moscow. Nevertheless as the details of the NSA’s programs are revealed Snowden says, “This isn’t science fiction. It’s really happening.”

Snowden Vindicated

Let's turn to where it all started: The Guardian. Snowden made his revelations to Guardian reporter Glen Greenwald.

Please consider The Guardian article Citizenfour Review – Poitras' Victorious Film Shows Snowden Vindicated.

Citizenfour must have been a maddening documentary to film. Its subject is pervasive global surveillance, an enveloping digital act that spreads without visibility, so its scenes unfold in courtrooms, hearing chambers and hotels. Yet the virtuosity of Laura Poitras, its director and architect, makes its 114 minutes crackle with the nervous energy of revelation.

At its heart, Citizenfour is the story of how Snowden’s disclosures unfolded through Poitras’ eyes, from the first communications Snowden sends Poitras, hinting at what is to come, until Snowden sees himself vindicated through emulation. (The film is named for a pseudonym Snowden used with Poitras.) The time before Poitras meets Snowden is symbolized by a car travelling through a pitch-black tunnel, barely illuminated by the glowing red lights on the ceiling, until sunlight bursts in when she and her colleagues Glenn Greenwald and the Guardian’s Ewen MacAskill arrive in Hong Kong for their fateful encounter.

Accessibly explaining how surveillance works, and why it matters, only gets more challenging the deeper you dig into the NSA trove. At the Guardian, it consumed exhausting months’ worth of background reporting, verification and endless revisions.

Since June 2013, Snowden has been a cipher to the world, often yielding paranoid reactions (Russian spy! Chinese dupe!) from people understandably curious about his motives. It may be too late to change people’s minds about Snowden, at least so soon after his leaks. But the Snowden who Poitras shows – hair tousled, resisting his attempts at styling it – is determined, sincere and human.

While often portrayed as arrogant, especially by self-interested surveillance bureaucrats, Snowden tells Poitras, Greenwald and MacAskill that he wants journalists and not himself to decide what ought to be public. He is possessed with an uncanny calm as he is about to become forever targeted. Yet Snowden’s eyes redden and his shoulders stoop when he grasps the burden he is placing on his family and girlfriend – with whom he is now reunited in Russia, a place in which he never intended to live.

Given the passions that the NSA disclosures have generated, it’s remarkable how tempered Citizenfour comes across. Reflecting a style Poitras seems to share with Snowden, it’s a quiet movie, its soundtrack a sinister digital throb, packed tight with questions about how we live freely in an unseen dragnet. One of its only boisterous moments comes when Snowden and Greenwald discuss the spirit animating both the reporting and Snowden’s decision to reveal himself. Greenwald describes it as “the fearlessness and the f*ck-you”.

That fearlessness attracted Snowden to Poitras, and it shows through her camera.

Citizenfour opens in US cinemas on 24 October.

Second Leaker Involved

Please note Second leaker in US intelligence, says Glenn Greenwald

The investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald has found a second leaker inside the US intelligence agencies, according to a new documentary about Edward Snowden that premiered in New York on Friday night.

Towards the end of filmmaker Laura Poitras’s portrait of Snowden – titled Citizenfour, the label he used when he first contacted her – Greenwald is seen telling Snowden about a second source.

Snowden, at a meeting with Greenwald in Moscow, expresses surprise at the level of information apparently coming from this new source. Greenwald, fearing he will be overheard, writes the details on scraps of paper.

The specific information relates to the number of the people on the US government’s watchlist of people under surveillance as a potential threat or as a suspect. The figure is an astonishing 1.2 million.

Edward Snowden's Girlfriend Living with Him in Moscow

The Guardian reports Edward Snowden's Girlfriend Living with Him in Moscow.

Lindsay Mills, thought to have been deserted by Snowden before NSA revelations, appears beside whistleblower in Citizenfour.

The mystery of the whereabouts of Edward Snowden’s long-time girlfriend is solved in a documentary that premiered in New York on Friday night: she has been living with the national security whistleblower in Russia since July.

The surprise revelation in the documentary, filmed by Laura Poitras, upends the widespread assumption that Snowden had deserted Lindsay Mills and that she, in a fit of pique, fled Hawaii where they had been living to stay with her parents in mainland US.

Since Snowden, a former NSA contractor, outed himself last year as being behind the biggest leak in US intelligence history, Mills has remained silent, giving no interviews or any hints of her feelings on the subject of her boyfriend or his actions.

The two-hour long documentary, Citizenfour, shows Mills living in Russia with Snowden.

Greenwald and Snowden are Heroes

The NSA has 1.2 million files on "suspects". Are any of them on president Obama for flagrant violations of the US constitution?  If not, I suggest the NSA is targeting the wrong people.

I am proud to have been on the right side of this debate from day one.

I repeat my assertion Greenwald and Snowden are Heroes. Greenwald is well deserving of the Pulitzer Prize he won for breaking this story.
