washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one . we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you al-jazeera. a lot has of sake here in doha where the top stories on al-jazeera international inspectors have been given access to the site of the suspected chemical attack in syria a war of words has been raging over what exactly happened on april seventh delayed access to the area has raised questions about the reliability of the evidence cut

here lopez hold day on reports. the wait is over inspectors but the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons given access to the area of the alleged chemical attack in duma samples were collected but delayed access to the site is raising questions about the quality of the evidence and whether syria or russia cleared the scene earlier this week a former o.p.c. w inspector said it's unlikely evidence would be found because of the deadly it's very easy actually to temper with the place and to change the facts on the ground. actually do some what we call it in the. military business as the decontamination process the visit comes a week after o.p.c. w. inspectors first arrived in syria the u.s. and france have accused russia of blocking the investigation to buy time to prepare or someone would mrs order to prepare some medical reports all these together

actually can add to the facts that i think. the russians and the syrians they are planning to change the idea on the ground there more than forty people reportedly died in a suspected chemical attack on april seventh the u.s. france and the u.k. retaliated by bombing several syrian government sites russia and syria have denied the use of chemical weapons they also deny hindering the investigation once the samples of the suspected chemical attack are analyzed inspectors will submitted their report to the state parties to the chemical weapons convention depends. and the findings inspectors could make a second visit to do much. on al-jazeera. the u.n. secretary general antonio good tears again said there's no military solution to the syrian conflict. i think we. need in syria essential to

see first to understand that there is no military solution for the solution is political we really need to fight through elections to the. violations of international law to the use of chemical weapons since you believe we find the way we need accountability exists we cannot go on living with impunity in relation to water to use clearly a war crime that's sure there is a few years from the face of. saudi arabian security forces say they shot down a toy drone near a royal palace in the capital riyadh video posted online appears to show appears to capture the sound of gunfire in the area fishel say concern man was out of the town of the time of the incident and investigation is under way yemen's hooty rebels previously tried to fly bomb carrying drones into saudi arabia western powers of welcome north korea's announcement it will suspend nuclear and missile tests u.s.

president donald trump said it was good news but japan was more cautious saying it must lead to concrete action and president trump's efforts to reach a nuclear agreement with kim jong un comes as he threatens to pull out of the iranian nuclear deal iranian president hassan rouhani says his country's atomic energy body is ready with what he calls expected and unexpected actions under the deal iran agreed to curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions being lifted . india's government has approved the death penalty for people convicted of raping children under the age of twelve it follows widespread protests over a number of attacks including the rape and murder of an eight year old girl in kashmir u.s. president donald trump is accusing former f.b.i. director james comey of leaking classified information in his new book coming in from zero to his memoirs in which he portrays trans as quote an ego driven liar

those are the headlines we're back in half an hour right now it's digital dissidents. at the moment we are in a state of the universe like deception i took an oath to support on the constitution take an oath sport and. started selling that was important was

act to call these people super heroes it is not so good because it search them up. for some people their superheroes for others simply traitors whistleblowers like daniel ellsberg thomas drake william binney and would snowden. hackers and activists like the wiki leaks founder julian assange and the former british secret service agent an emotional they want to say about the complete surveillance of our society they oppose intelligence agencies governments and corporations and for this they are threatened hounded and imprisoned. quietly so committed what drives them. to.

san francisco california. the cradle of our modern day. puter industry home to creative technicians and visionaries hackers and whistleblowers. in a suburb of san francisco lives the godfather of all whistleblowers. daniel ellsberg . and probably the only whistleblower that i know of who can make a living as a lecture because i'm the one who was put on trial for a hundred fifteen years under one who isn't involved in the president being resigning because of his crimes against lee sure he we don't toria sure enough. i can make a living here who literally. studied economics science at harvard in the one nine hundred fifty s. after graduating he enrolled like many fellow whistleblowers in the military.

and of. you she courage here all around you of the conventional sure high courage you've been trained for you've been disciplined for but you sheer it happens you have the training works and people are risking their bodies and they're really. every minute. at the end of the one nine hundred sixty s. ellsberg worked at the u.s. embassy in vietnam. he became known by publishing the secret pentagon papers which proved that the us president had lied to the american public about the vietnam war for years. ellsberg decided to make the documents public after meeting peace activists who had refused the draft. i

would not have thought of doing it if i didn't have the example of many many people . who are going to prison for nonviolent resistance to the draft. in one nine hundred sixty nine else greg began smuggling parts of the pentagon papers out of the government agency he worked for and copy them over the following months. a total of seven thousand pages of secret documents. in march one nine hundred seventy one he passed the documents to the new york times who eventually printed them. ellsberg surrendered himself and was charged with theft and unauthorized possession of pentagon material. the trial collapsed when it came to light that nixon and illegally wiretapped ellsberg. and agents had broken into his psychiatry ists

office. ellsberg there after remained a free man. if they arrest me or indict me then i will say it was only me. patricia tell you next to me did cooperate. so happens and she i couldn't figure out why she wasn't indicted that way because she had done what a copy. editor in her fragrance told the paper or here i thought it was because he didn't want such a beautiful woman sitting next to me at the defense table in front of the jury. i would advise people now not to do what i did to reveal themselves if they can avoid it. i reveal myself for this same reason no dear. essentially

we knew that other people would be suspected maybe even charge. consensual evidence against. people who might look more or guilty than you did. in a way i would rather take the risk of democracy to the risks. mr daniel ellsberg thank you. thank you have a third panelists will be joining us from russia one of the one of my real heroes and i think many people in this room many people in the hacker

community many people in america. edward snowden welcome. thank you more than forty years after daniel has been n.s.a. employee edward snowden emerges as a whistleblower the usa now has a new public enemy number one. thanks to manning and now to you and getting more favorable publicity. and in forty years is already had. because suddenly people who were all for putting me in prison for life before now realize that i was really a very good guy i was the. i was the good whistleblower and so i'm i'm totally of course i rejected this from the beginning that i didn't want to be a foil for. showing a badly to people that i totally admired there was a moment of hope x. hobart's conference in july in new york city. ellsberg

was having a live conversation with snowden we have a front as a mayor and as members of the global community and know the broad outlines of the policies that have a significant impact on our lives and i think that's something that tom grant showed me how to do the right way. there was a moment where he said. very clearly very distinctly that i showed him the right way. i had always hope that it's now become a law. thomas drake served during the cold war in europe in the one nine hundred eighty s. with the u.s. air force which included work as a signals analyst on spy planes hoovering the soviet union so my day job is a reconnaissance orbiter country. and said by by the way was the

computers. this is it was a vast a world that you're now you you bowl is pretty but in europe very quickly you have these old wars. is you know chaos puter. version of that or. in the one nine hundred ninety s. drake worked as a software developer for the cia in september two thousand and one he was hired as a senior analyst by the n.s.a. . my first ever job as nine eleven we were working you know sixteen eighteen hour days i mean it was that those four months after nine eleven are a blur because as there was just. your net we recognized that this was a significant event in history. whatever you got in a fight whatever you got the labs we need it whatever tools you can use to

prosecute those behind. nine eleven do it. i was selected as the designated senior executive and say the lead up that effort to find anything we had to fight and so i did and that's where i brought to the attention of others tools techniques programs things are in the lab things are pilots things that are being dissed testbed the mantra that went out from n.s.a. by general hayden he kept going around saying we just need to make americans feel safe again feel safe even at banners. and i discovered during those first couple three weeks after nine eleven all this information that we as you imagine was pouring in after nine eleven literally being use to monitor and survey l. and intercept u.s. domestic communications on an extraordinarily broad scale. i was finding this out

within days of nine eleven and others were coming to me saying what are we doing top. among the snowden documents were figures for the u.s. secret service budget. since september eleventh they supposedly doubled by twenty five billion to fifty two billion u.s. dollars and two thousand and thirteen. the surveillance programs continue to metastasize they continue expand it in ways that still have not been fully revealed. and this became sort of the collect all mindset mentality what does that lead to well yes your. area zation you have these other interesting arrangements with certain internet providers and telecommunication concerns the temptations are enormous and it's like a you know give us access or back in or open it up and that's what happened i

mean and now you're seeing a lot of this unfold. the national security agency n.s.a. for short the largest foreign intelligence agency in the usa has been responsible for the worldwide monitoring of electronic communications since one thousand nine hundred fifty two. some of the thirty five thousand employees weren't comfortable with the massive expansion of surveillance in september eleventh. all of the colleagues that i knew which was just a handful bill binnie ed loomis kirk we chose to retire from the n.s.a. . in late october two thousand and one they realize what was happening they could not stand by and see the subversion of the constitution and all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance they left the agency i begged them to stay i chose to remain and fight from with it as

long as i could i got mad at them you know so i my my objective was to counter attack i don't believe in defense you know just sitting back and being defensive i mean you have to get out there and attack so that's what i started doing that was my point it's time to attack so basically was a declaration of war. against my government. william binney mathematician and programmer initially worked for the n.s.a. as an analyst then later as the technical director of the secret service. as the boss of a six thousand strong team he developed a wiretap program that anonymously filtered and processed large volumes of data. i tried to do the the right thing right after nine eleven trying to make a contribution that would make a difference they refused to accept it so it was basically blocked that there was

nothing i could do they would accept nothing from me the n.s.a. directors decided against the program from vinny's team and opted for another they collected much more data. the problem is i helped in designing the system that's in use. because i knew what was possible once they started using those programs and opening it up to massive data input on everybody in the planet so it was pretty clear that it was obvious to me how they were using it and what they're doing with it so i mean because i understood the design of the systems. and so after that when they started spying on us citizens violating the constitution i had to leave i couldn't be a part of all the criminal activity that was going on and that's fundamentally i call that treason against the country so i got out at the end of october

day two thousand and one. one year later binney submitted a complaint to the u.s. defense department for wasting state funds the complaint was examined but had no effect the patriot bill binney became a combative whistleblower a role model for many today. this is his friend came here telling integrity in two thousand and fifty. ellie her presents the patches that you know any clue to the series like two hundred and it's no use to tell you this integrity is pretty. as is yours. it's a worse of you. so think you know. i

knew every major leader in the city general hayden personally and say what i meant . was true we take the character left sid. opted out of the system his colleague thomas drake fought against the violation of civil rights from within the n.s.a. . my new for the moment i stood up to my own supervisor and i went to her and said what are we doing violating the prime directive to cannot spy on americans our war you don't understand what i confronted my boss i go to the oed the office general counsel i confront him and then he says don't ask any more questions. now you're faced with a dilemma i didn't give the order i'm not the one that was implementing the survey of the master valence program the digital dragnet what do you do i chose to blow

the whistle. but how do you do that knowing there's a master valence program and knowing the n.s.a. was targeting targeting journalists. i made arrangements an encrypted form to communicate. honestly with this reporter. then i made a decision that i would meet the reporter. that was in february of two thousand and seven. the journalist subsequently published a number of articles about the waste and mismanagement of the n.s.a. the repercussions were enormous but the n.s.a.

let the attacks come to nothing as drake did not prove the central part of his criticism with documents. this tactic suddenly stopped working in two thousand and thirteen. edward snowden's material that stuff he took made it absolutely impossible for them to deny what they were doing because it simply laid out in their terms on their slides what they were doing and it was impossible for them to deny it. i don't think mr snowden was a patriot. the way in which these disclosures happen. have been damaging to be united states and damaging to our intelligence capabilities people ask as i see it is the patriot or traitor you know that's the headline in all these things edward snowden patriot or that drives me nuts the very thought you know that people could regard it was a traitor we will likely. face is the cost in human lives on

tomorrow's battlefield or in in some in some some place where where we will put our military forces you know when we ask them to go into harm's way and i think that's that's the greatest cost that we face with the disclosures that have that have been presented so far. no who was the one person. who did what he absolutely should have done how many people should have done what you did thanks what. is revealing is a. trip to the tension for democracy any. being a patriot doesn't rule. obedience to authority. hiding aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your government is the opposite of it isn't.

until the revelations by edward snowden the warnings of intelligence agency critics were always shrugged off as speculation only after he had published all the original n.s.a. documents was there proof and concrete evidence provided for the first time. documenting all the difference it is more risky to do that it also makes all the difference in terms of political effect. manning and i gave the documents less than one percent of the starting documents of the published that's terrible. terrible thing those documents do not belong. to a journalist they do not belong to it but so far they do not belong to the national security agency they belong to history they are part of something that has gone through every single one of us have been has been

a victim of the national security agency spying all human beings who use the internet. are victims of it and the victims deserve to know what has happened to them. i think the opportunity is in producing a very broad global outrage about what has happened in every country and informing all the victims of that surveillance about what is actually happening to them and releasing enough documents so that all the technical industries. hackers and computer programmers can go over and over governments can work out how to protect those. julia sun hacker and journalist was interested in computer

programming from an early age as a teenager he had already happened to foreign data systems and military networks later he studied physics and mathematics in melbourne in two thousand and six he founded the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks which publishes secret documents of governments intelligence agencies and corporations. was an insider. was an insider. would say that i was never in side up. i was. inside. you know trading intelligence and big companies. as a computer hacker and later the knowledge and a list analyzing their material. so i had a good set of team sense for what they were about that i never had the theory that one should work for these organizations. the people who were in the u.s. national security system it was like their own drug. drug but that made them

powerful because they were a group that had a lot of power and that system has a way of talking about how the world woods and how the united states empire is a good thing can take a long time towards that drug out of the system i don't know it's because nearly entirely works that system but the more recent was the blows they still have perhaps some way to go the only difference i have from a charge is i think the only view is i think that he probably believes more in the value of total truth or near total transparency tonight to. from planting forests with drones to surviving drought small funds al-jazeera has

a story of succession leadership. jersey and tells the story of a client of dentist and the. account of a percent three at a distance on a. a lot has a seeker in doha where the headlines on al-jazeera international inspectors in syria have collected samples from the scene of a suspected chemical attack in the town of duma two weeks ago it follows a week of delays as the teams try to visit the site the u.n. secretary general antonio has again said there is no military solution to the

syrian conflict i think we. need in syria essential to see first to understand that there is no military solution for the solution is political really need to find a way to give lessons to the violations of international law to the use of chemical weapons sense of relief be to find the way we need accountability exists we cannot go on living with impunity in relation to what it use clearly a war crime that's true there is a few years from the face of. saudi arabian security forces say they shot down a toy drone a royal palace in the capital riyadh video posted online appears to capture the sound of gunfire in the area officials say king salamander was out of time was out of town at the time of the incident and an investigation is underway yemen's hooty rebels have previously tried to fly bomb carrying drones into saudi arabia

western powers of welcoming north korea's announcement it will suspend nuclear and missile tests u.s. president donald trump said it was good news but japan was more cautious saying it must lead to concrete action india's government has approved the death penalty for people convicted of raping children under the age of twelve follows widespread protests over a number of attacks including the rape and murder of an eight year old girl in kashmir prime minister narendra modi's cabinet approved the order but it needs backing from parliament within six months to become law. u.s. president donald trump is accusing former f.b.i. director james comey of leaking classified information in his new book has been promoting his memoirs in which he portrays trump as quote an ego driven liar he was fired by charm last year as the f.b.i. investigated alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s.

election those are the headlines now back to digital dissidents. and wiki leaks highly explosive documents can still be published anonymously that otherwise would be withheld through nondisclosure or censorship. according to wiki leaks all documents were checked for authenticity one major aim is to force corporations and intelligence agencies to abide to more transparency and social responsibility to shed light on their well kept secrets which cover up illegal and immoral behavior. to get on here as in front of it in the. form of all those dormant. we could fall on. somebody.

in afghanistan but also afghanistan's entry just as rhetorical counterattack which is like something out of. it is to say no no no you do that. and. unfortunately. the us press is sort of. so. that pretty prince this nonsense so what he needs reveals very concretely very strong accurate documentation how the us is our own records shows that it was involved in one way or another in the deaths of more than one hundred twenty thousand people in iraq and afghanistan between two thousand and four and two thousand and ten. and the us government's response is maybe hypothetically as a result of this release of this material some afghan family or u.s. soldier. could face risks that's the standard accusation or like what tom drake did

threaten military lives exposing corruption fraud waste and abuse doesn't threaten military lives continuing then threatens military lives now the end result is that they are forced to admit last year on the earth that a single person had been as a result of publications. sons demand the protection of individual privacy on the one hand and on the other radical transparency of governments and corporations but one of the motives of whistleblowers why do intelligence insiders step forward into the light risking their careers their lives to expose the wrongdoings of those in power. is there

a common name a collective mission of this broad alliance and wild mix of patriotic exceeded service agents and archaic hackers cyberpunks and intellectual publicists. a common theme with among all of us is that we support human rights and that we support the public's right to know information and especially when it threatens the public or threatens the democracy or freedom of individuals i mean that's the kind of common theme that goes through all of that i think but it's a lonely act that you come it as one person but i was convicted by the truth of what i knew so i made a conscious choice to yes violate a non-disclosure agreement and we also took the oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic so that means even our government if it's violating the constitution so we have we have the responsibility

to stand up against that it's the moral agency you're confronted by activity that demands a response. and you're in a pious where you have access to information you have access your eye witness such an eyewitness or you or you were brought into awareness. of five especially when you've had someone have office and going past it. when he's been off them on them just mondays contests coniston funds initial event association with events when this. then. that of tons at my phone baskets in and out of tons of. buses when done on site this does. have an advantage. so all of sudden bosses would need someone to fuck. off and mention the fact it isn't really. going for. the.

high profile fun fun fun mending fences noton. but it does fun but it's kind not when it's. this absolute movement and i know steve music will have always just i mean. to call these people superheroes is not so good because it. will they get it i admire that but they're not me i'm not a superhero who thinks of themselves as a superhero on me not you know we're sixteen year old. dreamer. who gets you excuse for not doing it it doesn't take a should prepare these people none of these people were going to shoot prepared with michael in the fog it was no wouldn't it is the name go on to a. few months to a month on clothes and most of whom this is. often installed the. only

sign in. fact you know who become to be one of them because of us and we could put in who become ten of the on the inside team was going would see this all the. to push its own somebody on a in space on the deal is of interest because that's all in all though that's because in the in the chilis it was snowden intended on the at least seem to even. seem to even want to seem to. him this is. what i see when was it was no didn't listen in to somebody and seen him on t.v. snowden or does it seem untrue julian especially to be interested in emily coming to tony's top of the top officer vowed not to let this be a nation and that. is not tradition have to a consequence of events. then he still had no from one of. the up this with the

best of a dozen slits that many identity for. does testify to the picking but so i won't. pledge tension that doesn't mean we haven't two minds to most this tool. each one hunch with. each country whether it's going to be democratic or not knowing every she is going to private lives of all of their citizens to religious leaders through journalists there are judges and they're ordinary people who could be turned into informants. with those people knowing almost nothing about who god

the god would be or create that should go to and the people being transparent you guys this is the most ridiculous i've ever seen you know you fire everybody in the country and everybody in war all you're not an invalid. and so your secret. if you don't have prissy in your communications you can't guarantee they can hold a telephone conversation or rational mellow view stuff from the internet or read books once that is known to the authorities and it can even begin to self censor what you say and what you read. is a former agent of the british national intelligence agency m i five. even going to withdraw a little bit feel normal life because you're told you can't mention your being a christian by five and that means that people tend to focus much more on their life within m i five see began to socialize a lot more with other people there because you can talk that stuff. and also you

end up mainly in the relationships with your fellow intelligence offices it is how i met my former partner and colleague david shayler. when schiller made the illegal practices of the intelligence service public and supported him in becoming a whistleblower. in one nine hundred ninety seven shortly before the publication of the secret documents the couple flew to france. they went underground for a year and subsequently lived in paris for to use in two thousand they returned to london or went to prison. was spared since then she fights for government accountability and campaigns for the rights of whistleblowers when david shayler and i ended up going on the run after the whistle on a series of crimes when i thought. we were very conscious of exactly how they could be termed here as an investigative yes so where every week. thought well the telephone might be compromised the computer because there might be microphones in

where we were living there might be video cameras recording what we did and also people might be turned to report against us so they're all these different techniques that they can use and this is way back in the ninety's the end of year or so even at that point when we were on the run from a life of cross europe we used the only sure fire way that we need to communicate to each other securely which was to put a piece of glass or ceramic on a surface and put one sheet of paper on it and then you cover it so that nothing can read what you write in the paper you don't say anything you just write what you want on the piece of paper and then he will allow the other person to leak that message so there is no order there can be no video and there could be no in print under that one piece of paper and of course you have to get rid of that piece of paper so you have to burn it up over as the ashes and the cost it wins all to actually start the new because we know that our computers our telephones all of

that can be compromised the video can be switched on the audit committee switched on maybe they can log what we write on the keyboards they can even and this comes from the snowden disclosures they can even use my queries apparently to beam into the screen and read what you're typing. we live in a digital world where little remains unseen turning privacy into another luxury good. bleak science fiction visions of a powerful surveillance apparatus with seemingly endless technical possibilities. now only seems a question of time how does this change our behavior if every move we make every

word we say is recorded and analyzed which roles will we have to play and who's writing the script. having lived with that sensing demick surveillance i can tell you it's a corrosive to human spirit so once you lose that sense privacy and you start to self censor you start to be an effective and fully integrated system of that country supremacy in my view is the last defense against a slide towards a police state or to tell a terran isn't if you let go of your rights from moment you've lost them for a lifetime and that's why this matters is because it happened and we didn't know me or told.

you say you had nothing to hide see it nothing to worry about i have nothing to fear you'll hear all that language ok fine church heard your individual or her house yes well just give me your keys yet are already rather rather of these yes you have your purpose do you use of google eulogy below. if you have facebook or give me all your passwords your medical records trudeau's over to me to oh by the way all those bank accounts and all phone records you just give me for safe keeping you can have independent courts can you have an independent critch none of the n.s.a. now has the potential to know every source of every journalist and every story. by following the e-mail. following the people with their g.p.s. with their rifle. this is. the op this year here and.

talk to me at the meeting master's order in general is not about. it's not about surviving me it's about surveillance us. it's about watching the company for everybody in the country and on a global scale. in harsh contrast to the recently emerged facts great public outcry has not yet been heard. now why don't people care in the u.k. it's a very easy answer partly it's cultural because he still in love with james bond

and political leaders immediately came out in defense of the intelligence agencies saying we know what they do they follow the law everyone go back to sleep don't worry so that basically in frame you see it in the u.k. it wasn't i think in as i said a usa brazil and germany but it's amazing how quickly people forget or in this and this does my message to. the next move in pursuit of course what about persuasion and something kind of round of. me in bushland. t.v. nixon berger middle boy. in that.

when it became known in autumn two thousand and thirteen that the private cell phone of german chancellor angela merkel was tapped by the n.s.a. the public outcry in germany was initially large until then the german american friendship had been close and germany believed to be an equal partner the united states. the friends spine and friends of course they get everybody does this i mean we caught the israelis spying on us several times what did that do to our relationship but not really anything because we know everybody does that ok if you're a leader of a country in the world you are a target everybody wants to know what you're thinking so you are a target friends and foes right everybody's looking to see or trying to find out what you're thinking universally true i mean that's that's why diplomacy was started right back and thousands of years ago so so i mean it's nothing new chancellor merkel when she found out as to her private phone was being tapped i

mean she should have and understood that from the beginning i mean there and her security should have told her that from the beginning and given her some protection since all the leaders understood it the fact that it's exposed you have to be a object maybe publicly but in reality afterward you the relationship is too important to jeopardize just for a simple thing that you already knew was happening. as it had mr lyon looked as he mentioned. this into this year that are in different states and would be key leaks it's the n.s.a. affair the. t.v. or tool muzzle ha's intrusive. kind on the mukesh. votes in the us and in the before google not to only give us a visit that's owns it but my.

problem in relation to bob surveillance is exactly the same as the problem of global warming it's like i say it's not that i'm all effect here right now individually why is global warming interested in year and why is an essay interesting quite a warning affects everyone because in general changing things folks surveillance affects everyone because it leads to a general change in the nature of say oh i say should call warming is invisible.

it's impenetrable you're only trying to glimpse maybe today was a bit harder i don't know is that coincidence or not. similarly massive surveillance is invisible it's conducted at these points that connect continents together or by the n.s.a. sticking its fangs into google. and these are extremely physical and complex technologies that everyone except specialists does not understand specialists understand that and saying everyone else my god can you see what's happening through a relation to greenhouse gas as climate scientists understand it saying my god can't you see what's happening in the case of. climate science well there's a counter lobby which is the fossil fuel companies and all those profiting from that in the case of boxer violence there's the silence industry and intelligence agencies and so on and all those who are sucking down that information and profit from it and form of lobbying the other direction so very similar. the fear of

terrorist attacks makes the mass surveillance a necessary evil for many the much quoted if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear often legitimizes the snooping of covert agencies yet many are unaware of the actual extent of the surveillance. basically a big data program which provides the raw data and then we analyze it so it can be subjected to rules written. or. it says everything do. is being analyzed it's being weighed it's being measured. but the intelligence services are not the only ones monitoring communications and processing massive data. also pride. corporations like google amazon
