Glenn Greenwald gave a rousing speech at the Socialism 2013 conference from his Rio home. Jeremy Scahill introduced him. Greenwald addresses the NSA files, Edward Snowden, and the state of journalism and press freedom in the United States today.
It's an excellent speech. And he broke this news:
WOW Greenwald breaks a new NSA story at #s13: #NSA has a new tool that can divert 1 BILLION phone calls PER DAY into its system.
