Comment A young courageous US fellow citizen (Score 1) 822
Wife, kids, house, car, hardwares, softwares (bank & media), web site and every privacy you can think of were taken away from me after I stated I was working on a 1995 project called: Non partisan active participation Democracy. Today I would rather say: Following representative, from effective to Universal Democracy. It's based on what I call "Localism" which, I believe, eventually inspired the Metagovernment US team. I have been persecuted since 1997 and prosecuted since 2004. My country has obviously been using the NSA techniques or similar to keep track of every single bit of data I would store on any hard drive, reason why I started using PC's I would no longer connect to the Internet. Before the Edward Snowden revelations I realized that the data I was storing on those non-connected PC's, generally related to various law-suits I was having to face, were no longer my own property. Thanks to the revelations, I now have the knowledge that such disgusting practices are effectively being used against activists as well as the technical explanations. Edward Snowden deserves, and not for the selfish little individual I represent, my highest gratitude. I believe he knows about it and, if not, I made sure the country that gave him asylum was properly advised about my feelings regarding such a young courageous US fellow citizen.
