About liberty and free speech in post modern world
Hi my favourite NSA Special Agent John!
For new coming readers first part is here : My NSA Chronicles diary : About new generation of whistleblowers and leakers…
How you feel today?
Keep cool, i am not kidding you today. Promise. 
After previous publishing i loose 63% of readers… before the last line 
My post contains more than 140 characters. As you know me ( better than my wife) i speak and write a lot… Lot of people never take time to read an online post: that’s why twitter is too popular… human’s toughts must be cutted in 140 characters to
Some asked me why i’m writing in english as they know that i’m not fluently in that language.
I answer that it’s because this exercise obliged me to search my words like a kid. I want my message to be simple. Subject is complex and if write in my native French’s language sentences complexity will hide the real goal.
Yes John i want to write to you like kid. Kids are like fish. They know everything. Kids don’t think. Kids know. But thankfully they don’t have lot of words to express THE knowledge…
When a sufficient number of words come to them, knowledge flies from them: they become adults and have to find the lost knowledge…
But this time i won’t philosophy too much and make you loose your time.
I’ll try to be a little more serious. because i’m going to talk about a “game”.
A serious game, which title is:
“liberty and free speech in post modern world.” (sound good no?
Modern world: mine.yours.ours.
Some wrongly think that you and us are living in differents worlds.
They are wrong.
This job is yours. You must pay your bills, feed your family…
I don’t judge you. You are doing the right thing for a right cause: isn’t it?
You work for your country, and better : you work to protect him.
You can be proud of that. No irony here.
They pay you to listen, analyze my life: Is what i’m doing against your country?
You won’t be an office hero if all you find about me is that i love your country. Even if you are persuaded in that, a bad fairy in your head will say to you: isn’t a subterfuge?
May be this paper is an encrypted code….
And so on.. your felt in a loop. An infinite loop. Like jealous guy suspecting his wife: he snoops in her bag, grabs all little details he cans and even if nothing is there he will arrive at the same conclusion : “if he doesn’t find anything that’s prooves, she’s infidel”
A stange loop…
How to get out from there?
I don’t know you… you either.
But that’s your job. I think you don’t like it too much. But…
You worked hard at University. Brilliant you were. Everytime Getting an A. After your Phd in Mathematics you were dreaming of Field(s medal, but theXkeystore ’s program sent an alert to the Nsa Human Ressources:
“John must be hired”.
And the rest you know…
How many are you?
When started my interest on USA’s spying i’ve faced a big picture problem
How can they treat such big data?
As you know, i’m a scientist: first and always asking “how?”
“Why” is not important here… first.
How? I have a vaguely idea… but be nice send me an email as you know mine.
I do not want to die stupid.
Loosing my religion
My chronicle is about whistleblower but i’ve started to talk you John. Why? Because, i need you more than you need me.
You’re a believer. You like your church, your preacher, your praise’s community. You feel alone when you’re far from them. I know: in “God you trust”. John you’re almosta good guy. I guess.
I need you because i need to be ensured to have a least one reader: I’m sure you’ll do it.
“God” is a brilliant concept and if you look back in across the history every people have discovered it.
A true idea: everything is made with the same thing… scientists break and break atoms and come (or coming) to the same conclusion: energy, empty… No matter how you name it, it’s the same thing.
This is amazing: » How did our ancestor came to that? Whithout physics books? »
They called it God…or something else…
Is this energy intelligent? I don’t know. But it doesn’t matter.
Brilliant concept, bad implementation as say computer’s workers…
Human Religions are attempts to make sense to life relying on this idea, but they do it in bad manner (IMHO).
I loose my religion very soon in my life.
Why? Bad question, John… Please follow!
“How?”, is the question…
I’ve lost it like babies come to world: with pain and tears.
It was not quiet simple…Education
I’ve lost it for many reasons but one can interessed you…
The Religions from The Book taught me that exists a God who can read in my mind, who is following all little action i’m doing!. (S)He knows everything about me and my life.
Every word i pronounce, every email i write… are under its surveillance…
Wow!
This made the teenager i was, felt very uncomfortable… Really. This and other reasons led me to this: “i refused to be on permanent surveillance even from a supranatural entity”.
As you know me better than my mother, you know that i’m not doing (many) wrong things…
I’m a “pragmatic” pacifist, i hate war, i hate any kind of arms and so sensitive that i can cry when i see a baby suffering…
But I can’t accept permanent surveillance.
This made me definitely atheist. (<-hey, John, good for taxonomy, no?)
Oh! I’m not an atheism’s activist, i have respect for those who believe. Simply i can’t believe anymore (or only when i have a big pain or i need money…but this is my secret garden
Atheism made me turn toward human being: i don’t want to wait for the End of Time before being happy with my human’s specy….
So I’ve learn how to love humanity and that’s the last treasure that i know i have.
Edward Snowden’s leaks
But now, since Snowden’s leaks, i’ve got a proof that you (human being) at theNSA are doing the same as God does: you’re spying everything i do, read every letter i send, read my email, my internet’s browsing history…
I’m shot…
John, let me ask you only one question: “where do you want me to go now”?
I’ve rejected the God’s concept, i felt comfortable with human being but you broke my mind.
Now, i can’t make a call without thinking that i’m not alone on the line with my correspondent…
I can’t write an email without thinking that you’ll read it…
But you John, you’re doing your job. You have to “correlate”. Isn’t it?
In the name of (your country) security you follow my life, open my secret garden, walking sometimes on some fragile and precious roses hidden there…
“US must be in security”. This is quite normal. World must be safe for all: obvious.
But are the way and the means you’ve choosen, the right one?
Are you sure?
“Don’t do Evil” your “partner” Google used to say…But they gave you all my emails, my history etc…
Now you have it what you gonna with?
Oh, sorry… “Correlation”, i’ve forgot it.
North Korea is a “rough country” (sorry for people living there, i’m talking about the political’s system) , western media and governments taught me. People there, have no liberty. They taught me that the Internet there is under surveillance. Anything that doesn’t complain the government vision is illegal, tracked and can lead to jail.
People in North Koreaare scared. They know that they are under a very tight surveillance. Any “wrong” word have a price.
I’ve learnt from them to not like this country.
But now as a western citizen, tell me why i’m scared, when i’ve started writing this “Chronicle”. ?
EVERY friend of mine who has read it have the same reaction :
“Are you crazy? You are writing on NSA, USA etc.. Are you looking for trouble?”
To be honnest, I was the first to ask myself that question.
But I’m father of three. I want them to have a future built with the best cornerstone: “Liberty”.
Wow, wow, wow.
Stop that. Rewind.
How it happened? How this become possible?
One of the most advanced democratic country on Earth is breaking the goddess statue of Liberty?
I’m like a man who has just discovered that his friend is falling in the hell of a drug addiction…
So i think that i must try to help him.
About Anonymous citizens hidden behind Fawkes mask
A lot of your fellows hate E. Snowden. Some convinced them that he is a felon, one of worst person in your country…
But you know that this not the exact truth… How many of Snowden you work with?
Annoying question, i know. But you feel very confused. You’re now suspecting everyone in your office. Are them playing with or against you?
Hey John you’re now 47 so you must accept this: Snowden’s generation is not yours. Either mine. Our “old road is rapidly agin’ sang the poet …He was right.
Some are already beyond THE Command.
They hide their faces under a Fawkes’s mask. They hide their name under this strange word “Anonymous”.
You “know” that i follow some on Twitter. Oh don’t be shy, it’s your job: correlation, isn’t?
You’ve flagged them : “terrorists”. But you know that it is not true.
As i follow the main timelines of this movement i always see that they’re always defending free speech, poor vs rich… Utopists, anarchists are lot of them.
A lot of them are dreaming a new world without banksters, political cheaters, children abusers and other dirty people on Earth.They are trying to fight for transparency.
You dislike them: but you know that are their fight is “right” even if the means used are sometimes questionable. Your job forbids you to accept that.
So, you track them, trying to build their social relation map…. You correlate…(again)
It’s your job.
Hey, don’t modify my Prism’s profile: I’m not doing the Anonymous apologize! Okay?
This a reflexion, a simple “philosophical” writing.
Now take a chair and make a break. Think.
Why are they hiding? If we’re living in a great and total democracy, every citizen must feel free to express himself.
No?
Why do these citizens need to hide their identities?
That’s the point of rendez-vous where i want you to meet me next…
Next coming…
