“For 500 years, government spying has always aimed at crushing dissent. Likewise, the U.S. government has long used anti-terror laws to crush dissent and protect the powers-that-be. As Edward Snowden said: ‘These programs were never about terrorism: they’re about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They’re about power.’ He’s right. And see this. Indeed, the government arbitrarily labels anyone it doesn’ t like – including American citizens – as ‘terrorists’.”
