“We hear that Snowden’s mistreatment and the issues he has raised are the ‘apex of public concern.’ But the real apex of public concern, from our point of view, ought to be the emergent global fascism. The UN is the child of an unholy marriage between multinationals, central banks, government agencies, NGOs and quasi-private military power. The idea that somehow officials inside or outside of the UN are in any way capable of investing the current surveillance scandals is dubious in the extreme. It is a bit like the Roman Senate taking up cudgels to investigate the Emperor’s Praetorian guard.”
