Surveillance State Quotes

• Hoy nos encontramos en una encrucijada. La tecnología está disponible para dos grandes opciones: El Estado de vigilancia masiva, o la libertad renovada de una ciudadanía profundamente implicada que piense de forma independiente y exija al gobierno el cumplimiento de las normas más estrictas.

• El estado de vigilancia se ha desbocado. La tecnología que nos ha permitido enviar selfies 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana -algo no tan valioso- también nos ha permitido que nos espíen 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana.

• I think Martin Luther King would always keep track of collective insurgencies among poor and working people. He was concerned about the treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union, for example. He would have closely followed the Arab Spring. And certainly he would be very critical of the massive surveillance state that has emerged in America in the last five to 10 years. He would have approved of the movements trying to gain some accountability in U.S. foreign policy, such as drones being (used) on innocent people. I think he would march against drones.

• La fusión del complejo militar-industrial, el estado de vigilancia y el poder corporativo desenfrenado apunta a la necesidad de estrategias que aborden lo específico del actual estado de guerra y vigilancia y el proyecto neoliberal y cómo los diferentes intereses, modos de poder, relaciones sociales, pedagogías públicas y configuraciones económicas se unen para dar forma a su política.

• The domestic NSA-led Surveillance State which Frank Church so stridently warned about has obviously come to fruition. The way to avoid its grip is simply to acquiesce to the nation's most powerful factions, to obediently remain within the permitted boundaries of political discourse and activism. Accepting that bargain enables one to maintain the delusion of freedom - "he who does not move does not notice his chains," observed Rosa Luxemburg - but the true measure of political liberty is whether one is free to make a different choice.

• The combination of the growth of these digital technologies, the ability of the government to conjure up these secret interpretations, plus a very unusual and novel court make for this ever-expanding surveillance state. We so treasure our freedoms; we will regret it if our generation doesn't use this unique time to reform the surveillance laws and make it clear that security and liberty are not mutually exclusive. We can do both.

• We all deserve credit for this new surveillance state that we live in because we the people voted for the Patriot Act.

• Apaguen sus televisores. Ignoren el reality show de Newt-Mitt-Rick- Barack. Es tan relevante para vuestra vida como los cotilleos de "Jersey Shore". El debate real, el debate planteado por el movimiento Occupy sobre la desigualdad, la prevaricación empresarial, la destrucción del ecosistema y el estado de seguridad y vigilancia, es el único debate que importa.
