This documentary is a very interesting look at the nature of American espionage in the 60's.
I believe it is relevant to our discussions.

"Both sides do it, both sides deny it"
Interesting change of tactics from to what we see today. If before the average American would deny that the government is spying on anyone, now they play intelligence gathering as one of the most important tools for the safety of the people.

Some of the interviews near the beginning are pure acting, right?
I've only watched 7 minutes but the Asian restaurant part seems especially contrived.
(I have no idea what I've done but half of the buttons here are in Polish for some reason)

>>416I guess I'm just kinda laughing at the believability of it but people still fall for this shit today (Snowden etc). They have better actors now but it's still transparent

I didn't really get what this was when I first started watching it. Thought it was something put together from clips more recently.
Bad actors in contrived interviews is nothing new. They can look silly going back some years later but we still get the same shit

>>633In some of his videos his glasses are missing one of the pads. The videos are ages apart. I don't know if that means the videos were filmed at the same time, which would imply this story has gone by the script 100%. Or maybe it's a sign he's making the speeches under duress. Or it could just be a joke if he's a CG or pure actor creation.
Anyways, he informed us we are in the panopticon so the effect was to get the public to start acting like they are being watched

>>633Also, it seemed to fly over most people's heads, but Snowden is the name of a character in the novel 'Catch-22' which is often required reading in US middle/high school. The book almost centers on the significance of Snowden who quite literally spills his guts which teaches a secret to the main character Yossarian. Also the first scene in Catch-22 has Yossarian reading and censoring letters (it's set in WW2).
The book is so famous that I'm kinda disappointed that more people didn't notice. Although a lot of news articles from WaPo etc wrote about the "Catch-22" of trying to regulate secret programs...
If you find that interesting go read some of the things online about the significance on Snowden in the novel Catch-22
