If you haven't already gone to the event, please tell him that many people are grateful to him, and wish him well.

Although he probably knows that from the reaction of the audience on Bill Maher last night. Audience was noticeably in his favor.

That’s refreshing. I want to hear what he has to say tonight before I make any judgment on motives, etc. I saw Real Time last night too and was surprised to hear vocal supporters in the audience. He was awfully quiet between arguments with Paul Rieckoff (sp?).

Should be interesting!

....the audience has been squarely and noisily on his side. You should look up his debate with General Hayden.

Wish I could though.

As others have noticed, it's the weekend and the Pro-NSA folk don't typically hang around during such times.

Seriously, I wish I could.

What news can you share? Hope you didn't have to swear secrecy going in the door...

What is left to expose? Any hints even?

Jun 2014

No secrecy...no bag search...cameras were allowed.

Glenn spoke for about an hour, non-stop. No Q and A but he spoke to each person who bought a book to be signed and took photos with them. It was sold-out...about 300 people. The tickets were just 5 dollars!

He spoke about the myths regarding national surveillance; the reasons Snowden gave him in Hong Kong for whistleblowing; and he exhorted everyone to do their part in fighting our loss of privacy. He said that oppressive govts. rely on compliant citizens so everyone should become a dissident to some degree.

He bashed Hillary, Obama, the NSA, all other media, MSNBC (especially called out Lawrence O'Donnell). He did not talk about Anonymous or their threat to disrupt his book tour because of his 'sell-out' to Pay Pal's founder, Omar whatshisface. He did not reveal any further tidbits of revelations to come nor did he hint about when the next batch of documents will be published.

Does that help?
