"“I told the government I’d volunteer for prison, as long as it served the right purpose,” he said. “I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can’t allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I’m not going to be part of that.”
Love him or hate him, Snowden says that even after his revelations the NSA still hasn’t finished reforming its own system.
“They still haven’t fixed their problems. They still have negligent auditing, they still have things going for a walk, and they have no idea where they’re coming from and they have no idea where they’re going,” he said. “And if that’s the case, how can we as the public trust the NSA with all of our information, with all of our private records, the permanent record of our lives?”
US companies came out of the Iraq war with almost nothing. And if the US or UN or anyone else puts in a few SF operators or what not that will not change.
US oil companies have no future there.
I will bet anyone here five thousand dollars that one year from now or whenever that US oil companies have nothing more there than what they have now.
So far no one ever takes me up on my bet challenges, and in each and every prediction I've made I'VE BEEN RIGHT AND DR.P HAS BEEN WRONG.
