Remember back when we all thought Snowden was a terrorist? Now, many of us realize he was speaking truth against the Globalist cabal - including the #Bush clan.

A few months ago, as a debate was heating up over whether to renew an FBI surveillance authority known as Section 702, I was looking for an unsealed court document from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). I asked a colleague if FISC had a website where I could find these opinions. “Oh, that’s easy,” my colleague said. “Just check their Tumblr.” Sure enough, I found the document on the Tumblr in question: “IC on the Record,” a website “created at the direction of the President of the United States and maintained by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence,” which promised “direct access to factual information related to the lawful foreign surveillance activities of the U.S. Intelligence Community.” How did the Office of the Director of National Intelligence—a senior-level agency representing the entire intelligence community including the CIA and the National Security Agency—come to host some of the most important docs on a platform better known for cat gifs, LGBTQ+ discourse, and indie sleaze? And why, 10 years later, after the internet moved beyond the cat gifs, Tumblr alienated its queer communities, and Gen Z went through a cycle of Tumblr-aesthetic nostalgia, is the government still in its Tumblr era?

There are a number of government agencies that I follow here on Tumblr, so I shouldn't be surprised to learn (ten years late) that the U.S. intelligence community has an account too, but I am.

"You need to understand that the technical capability behind such killings is becoming increasingly easy to achieve—and increasingly automated. Soon enough, an official will drag their finger across a map, and anyone judged by a crude algorithm to have crossed that line will die." -Edward Snowden (on the recently exposed video of an IOF drone stalking and killing 4 Palestinian men in Gaza)

The FISA court has perpetually dismally failed to defend Americans’ constitutional rights. Washington must finally admit that there is no secret “doing God’s work” clause in the Constitution that entitles FBI agents to trample Americans’ privacy and liberty.

Excerpt:

"If Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) abuses the NDAA to smuggle into law an extension of the warrantless surveillance regime (FISA702) that the FBI exploited to spy ON AMERICANS more than TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND times in JUST ONE YEAR, he should be dumped just like McCarthy," Snowden, who remains exiled in Russia after leaking classified documents in 2013, wrote on X. "No excuse."

Edward Snowden and girlfriend Lindsay Mills at their new home in Hawaii, June 2012, months before he leaked NSA global surveillance documents to journalist Glenn Greenwald. Snowden and Mills later married in Russia where they currently reside with their two children.

I couldn't help but think while I sat through this [orientation meeting] that the presenters were preaching to the choir. You don't need to tell a bunch of computer whizzes that they possess superior knowledge and skills that uniquely qualify them to act independently and make decisions on behalf of their fellow citizens without any oversight or review. Nothing inspires arrogance like a lifetime spent controlling machines that are incapable of criticism. This, to my thinking, actually represented the great nexus of the Intelligence Community and the tech industry: both are entrenched and unelected powers that pride themselves on maintaining absolute secrecy about their developments. Both believe that they have the solutions for everything, which they never hesitate to unilaterally impose. Above all, they both believe that these solutions are inherently apolitical, because they're based on data, whose prerogatives are regarded as preferable to the chaotic whims of the common citizen. Being indoctrinated into the IC, like becoming expert at technology, has powerful psychological effects. All of a sudden you have access to the story behind the story, the hidden histories of well-known, or supposedly well-known, events. That can be intoxicating, at least for a teetotaler like me. Also, all of a sudden you have not just the license but the obligation to lie, conceal, dissemble, and dissimilate. This creates a sense of tribalism, which can lead many to believe that their primary allegiance is to the institution and not the rule of law.

Edward Snowden (Permanent Record, pages 122-123). Bolded emphases added.

Cyberpunk is in again. Cyberpunk is pretty much now. We have megacorps, we have robots, we have all that stuff. We have no killer AIs, but we do have idiots feeding garbage data to neural networks and making decisions on who to kill on the basis of the output. There's one big difference though: The world isn't divided into obedient drones working at Zaibatsus and individualist tech-punks living at the margins. There is no safety in obedience, only precarity for everyone. And the individualist tech-punks are busy with IPOs and ICOs - their only complaint about the system is that they're not in that tiny layer of the ultra-rich they hope to join one day. Meanwhile, the closest thing we have to Cyberpunk heroes, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, both worked for the US government. Cyberpunk feels good because it paints an only slightly exaggerated picture of the situation we find ourselves in, and then tells us that the solution is more individualism, which is what we've been culturally conditioned for. The actual solution is going to involve working together. So I propose a new offshoot of Cyberpunk - let's call it Togetherpunk. Stories about the same dystopian near-future alienating tech hellscape, but the protagonists work together. Overcome the alienation by finding each other. Help each other. Form unions. Create alternatives. They have varied skills, backgrounds, and needs that complement. They are - or become - emotionally mature. Togetherpunk.
