NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden, the non-elite elite

Snowden was, in sum, an elitist who was not part of an elite--

I Would Have Hired NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden - Slate Magazine: " . . . In past generations, people like Snowden—members of a nonelite middle class—would have settled down into staid white-collar jobs that didn’t make full use of their intellect, probably close to where they grew up. The tech and Internet boom of the last 20 years has given them opportunities to learn and explore outside of traditional forms of higher education, to travel, and to meet others who share their worldview. It has also given them more power. There’s no smoking gun for what made Snowden leak classified information—at least until recently, he was simply too typical of his kind. If you put enough intelligent, independent, anti-authoritarian people in positions of relative power, at a time when government and enterprise are perceived to have lost moral authority and contravene the individualist ideals they purport to defend, you will sooner or later produce a Snowden. Many more like him will be paying close attention to his fate."

The government is watching you

Snowden told you--

The government is watching you | McClatchy: "Someone is watching you. What you spend. Where you eat. Who you call. Where you travel. What you Google. What you give to charity. Recent reports of government access to records from phone companies, Internet providers and credit card companies raise anew questions of just how much other people can know about you, especially in the age of the Internet and high technology. They watch from the air, from cameras, from computers. And you help them, volunteering vast amounts of information about yourself in the magnetic stripe on the back of your credit card, the SIM card in your phone, the sites you visit on the Internet."

Something important is happening in Turkey

And it may have far-reaching consequences--

Violence Spreads in Turkey - WSJ.com: " . . . Mr. Erdogan's decision to strike a more definitive blow against protesters this weekend appeared to have partially backfired on Sunday as demonstrations continued and five of Turkey's largest trade unions and associations—with a combined membership of 860,000 workers, doctors, dentists, engineers and architects—called a general strike for Monday, in solidarity with the protesters. . . . "The crack Erdogan has created in Turkey is very interesting because this educated middle class is clashing with the government for the first time. If these tensions continue, the uncertainty will negatively impact the political system and the economy," said Hakan Yilmaz, a political scientist at Bogazici University in Istanbul. . . ."

Taksim Square çapulcu

Lost in Taksim Square : The New Yorker: " . . . A few hours ago, Erdoğan issued a “final warning to troublemakers.” “Our patience is at an end,” he said. “I am making my warning for the last time. I say to the mothers and fathers please take your children in hand and bring them out.” Nobody knows when exactly the strike will come, but a video making the rounds on Twitter shows a row of waiting police buses, stretching to the horizon and out of sight."
