"The phone is placed in the microwave oven, which can block high-frequency signals."
"I'll be charged with treason by the government, and at best. At worst, if I don't disappear immediately, I'll be caught by the CIA and extrajudicially tortured."
"How do they know what you did?" "Because I left a digital footprint in my log, and I didn't do anti-tracking, they'd definitely find out."
"Terrorism is just an excuse, it's actually economic and social control. Then the only thing you really maintain is the hegemony of your government."
"I want to help my country change the state of the world."
"Why would you want to join the CIA?" "To be honest, it's cool to have maximum security clearance."
"I thought at first that the system would repair itself and that the president would keep his campaign promises."
"The NSA is literally listening to every phone in the world, no matter who you are."
Conversation between Snowden and a teacher at the CIA School Teacher Training Center:
"Have you ever wondered why it's been sixty years since World War II, why hasn't World War III happened yet? Because we use our power to make the world a better, more prosperous and efficient place. How could we not have the cyber department working around the clock? Defend yourself from nuclear war, terrorist attacks and hacking?"
"Then we can record the lives of billions of people?"
"Most people's lives are actively posted to the public."
"It's just a part of their life, and it's voluntary. And we don't give them a choice, just collect it all."
"Most Americans don't want freedom, they want security. It's an easy deal, and if you want security, there's a price to pay."
"But people don't know about it."
"Where is the battlefield of modern warfare?"
"everywhere."
"What is the number one priority on the battlefield?"
"Don't reveal your position."
"What if an authorizer or Congress knew?"
"The enemy will know too."
"That's the reality. Secrecy is security, and security is victory."
"Three high-level figures in the NSA have been complaining about the abuse of power by the NSA for many years, and the FBI has raided their homes. Another NSA person, Chion, had no success in changing this situation internally, so he went to the media and was detained. Wearing the hat of a spy."
On TV, Congress "Does the NSA collect any kind of data on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" The CIA Director "No. Maybe in some cases they might collect it inadvertently, but not proactively. "
"Why is this job more important than your life?" "Our government spends billions of dollars a year fighting Chinese hackers, and I was hired to defeat them. A lot of people rely on me."
"This is the data collected in March for emails and SKYPE calls worldwide. France 70 million, Germany 500 million, Brazil 2 billion, Russia 1.5 billion, and the US 3.1 billion." "So what we collect in the US is Russia's. Twice, it looks like something is going to happen." "I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this is crazy."
"Afghanistan was monitored in Las Vegas, so we had to stay up all night. Then a vague figure walked into the target area, and we all knew it was a child. Boom, he disappeared. We asked the CIA to explain clearly, what came The report said it was just a dog. Two or three days later, we saw the child's funeral. Then came the order to fire, boom, and the child's parents turned into smoke."
"You're talking like a crime. But it's war, it's a job."
Snowden mentioned the Nuremberg Principles at a party in Hawaii, which the United Nations created to prevent ordinary jobs from becoming criminal again.
The Nuremberg Principles are principles of international law recognized in the Nuremberg Charter and the Nuremberg Trials, which include:
Principle 1: Persons who commit crimes that constitute violations of international law are personally responsible, and therefore punishable.
Principle 2: The fact that domestic law does not punish a crime against international law cannot be used as a reason for the perpetrator to be exempted from responsibility under international law.
Principle 3: The official status of a person who acts as a head of state or a responsible government official and commits a crime against international law cannot be used as a reason to exempt him from responsibility under international law.
Principle 4: A person acting on the orders of a government or his superiors cannot be exempted from his responsibilities under international law if he can make a moral choice.
Principle 5: Persons accused of crimes against international law have the right to a fair trial in fact and in law.
Principle 6: The punishable crimes against international law are: (1) crimes against peace (2) war crimes (3) crimes against humanity
Principle 7: Conspiracy to commit crimes against peace, war crimes or crimes against humanity as described in Principle 6 is a crime under international law.
Based on real events from 2004 to 2013, the film begins with Snowden's meeting with reporters and documentary filmmakers in a Hong Kong hotel room, and looks back on the details of his work and life in the past ten years.
Edward Joseph Snowden dropped out of high school because his parents were divorced and he needed money. Grandpa was a retired admiral who then joined the FBI. Father served in the Coast Guard for 30 years.
In 2004, Snowden fell from the upper bunk of his dormitory while serving as a soldier and broke his foot and had to retire early. Snowden then applied to join the CIA, and then the National Security Agency, where he worked in contracting agencies for both bureaus and directly under their intelligence agencies. As a systems engineer, Snowden has been working as a senior consultant on solutions to the National Security Agency.
In 2006, Snowden was the top student at the CIA training center.
In 2007, Snowden used diplomatic cover as a cover to maintain the CIA's computer security network for the United Nations in Switzerland. Although Snowden did not have a license for the NSA program, his colleague Gabriel Sol showed him the Xkeycore project's search engine. This search engine can search anyone in the world, not only their public information, but all their secrets, including emails, chats, Facebook, etc. Through the optic nerve tool, it can also open the video and audio recordings of the other party's laptop and see real-time images. The Xkeycore project is subject to Section 702, which means that there is no need to obtain a FISA search warrant. (Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which was introduced in 2008, authorizes U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct covert surveillance of foreigners outside the U.S., collecting communications, emails, and text messages without court permission. )
In 2009, Snowden was sent to Yokota Air Force Base in Tokyo to set up a 24/7 backup system.
"This process will also ensure we don't lose any data if terrorists blow up all the embassies and NSA intelligence posts in the Middle East."
“Japanese government officials do not agree that we use them to monitor the Japanese people because it violates their laws, but we monitor their entire country. We will not stop there, once we control their communication system at the physical level, we will Whole little hibernation programs are implanted in their power stations, dams, hospitals, with the aim of shutting down Japan if it is no longer our ally."
"It's not just Japan, we're planning to hack Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Australia. I mean China can understand, or Russia, Iran, Venezuela, but Australia?"
Snowden must also be ordered to monitor most national leaders and business giants, even trade deals, sex scandals. Diplomatic cables to create an advantageous negotiating position for the United States in the G8, or to negotiate with Petrobras. Even uncooperative leaders were ousted.
After that, Snowden resigned from the National Security Agency because of the different ways.
Snowden's girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, is a pole dancing fitness instructor who likes photography. She traveled with Snowden to Switzerland and Japan, and the two would quarrel from time to time. In 2011, Snowden came to his Maryland girlfriend's house to apologize to her, and the two reconciled.
Snowden, who returned to the CIA as a solutions consultant, became a pure contract worker after Geneva.
In 2012, Snowden arrived at the National Security Agency's "Project Tunnel" operations center in Oahu, Hawaii, and his new job was a counterintelligence operation against China, that is, against Chinese hackers. Snowden has epilepsy because of his mother's inheritance. But the epilepsy pills made him unable to concentrate, so Snowden stopped taking them.
Because of Snowden's excellent technical ability, he was fined after being sued in Geneva and lied during a polygraph (because of his girlfriend's jealousy, Snowden used a program in Geneva to search for his girlfriend's private information without authorization) and was found Also safe and sound. When Snowden's teacher at the CIA training center, Corbyn, told him that Lindsay hadn't slept with a photographer friend, he understood that his girlfriend was completely under CIA surveillance, including her emails, phone calls, text messages, social networks, Even the house where the two lived was bugged.
On June 4, 2013, Snowden was exposed in a hotel room in Hong Kong to documentary filmmaker Laura Portas and British Guardian columnists Glenn Greenwald and Evan McAskill Prism event.
On June 5, 2013, news of the NSA's collection of the daily call records of millions of Americans was revealed in the British "Guardian".
On June 6, 2013, the Washington Post revealed an extensive and secretive U.S. government surveillance program.
The Washington Post and The Guardian reported in London that the NSA and the FBI are directly accessing the networks of nine Internet companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple. The central server, the Post says, is extracting audio, video, photos, emails, documents and connection logs to analyze and track a person's whereabouts and contacts.
On June 7, 2013, U.S. President Barack Obama took a firm stand in defense of U.S. government programs, insisting that they implement extensive security controls and prevent abuse.
NSA whistleblower Snowden has been formally charged with espionage, theft and transfer of government property, and U.S. officials have asked Hong Kong to issue a formal provisional warrant for his detention. The Hong Kong government has an extradition agreement with Washington.
With Tempo's help, Snowden left the hotel and hid in a family's home in the slum. The family was stateless and was awaiting refugee status at the United Nations.
A few days later, Snowden boarded a flight from Hong Kong to Moscow, and the State Department was very disappointed that Hong Kong had Snowden on the scene.
Snowden tried to seek political asylum from Russia to Cuba and then to Ecuador, but Moscow airport officials said they could not help him connect because the U.S. government had cancelled his passport, leaving him stranded at Moscow airport.
On March 24, 2014, Obama asked the NSA to stop the collection of data blocks.
On May 13, 2015, the White House voted to end the collection of NSA phone data blocks.
On June 3, 2015, Congress passed NSA surveillance reform.
Hillary: He stole very important information.
New Snowden documents show Obama administration expanded NSA surveillance.
Snowden was granted a three-year residence permit in Russia after more than a year of temporary asylum in Russia. So far, Sloden lives in Moscow, where his girlfriend Lindsay Mills has moved to live with him.
A very good biographical film, the description of Prism Gate is not much, the focus is to describe the psychological trajectory of Snowden's inner struggle in the past nine years. Snowden is just an ordinary person. He didn't plan to leak secrets from the beginning. He was once persuaded by his teacher that his purpose was just to hand over the information to reporters, and then let the people's focus be on the mass surveillance by the US government. , let them judge right or wrong. As for the consequences he will face after exposure, he is also very clear.
Snowden chose to expose the Prism incident in Hong Kong after he left the United States. On the one hand, because of the freedom of speech in Hong Kong and the concentration of the media, his exposure can receive high attention. On the other hand, it is because Hong Kong has 130 countries stationed in Hong Kong, so it is very convenient to go to hide after that.
Snowden hid the memory card containing the stolen data in the Rubik's cube and brought it out was just an idea at the time, and it didn't really happen.
Film director Oliver Stone secured funding from France and Germany to complete the shoot in Munich. Major U.S. studios refused to release the film, and in the end independent film distribution company Open Road won it (last year's Oscar-best film "Spotlight" was also produced by the same company).
Laura Portas filmed Snowden's documentary "The Fourth Citizen".
It's better to keep the laptop's camera closed when it's not in use.
"People are able to question our government and hold it accountable, and that's the founding principle of the United States of America."
