#2"This is not a drill" makes me think there's an immediate threat that needs full attention, especially from snowden's account. Is this just more twitter slang to add emphasis?

Definitely Twitter slang to add emphasis. "This is not a drill" implies that people have been preparing a response and now is the time to execute it properly.

#5I think it's imperative that governments all over the world take steps to reduce dependence on American infrastructure. Russia is working on this, but it's a slow process - especially on the hardware side of things.
If the US goes (more) rogue at some point, Europe will be left holding the bag. The sphere around Russia and China will make it, but what does Europe have?

This is ironic considering Russia and China are already quite authoritarian societies. China is especially heavy handed on the surveillance side of things.

#7I'm sorry, but appealing to companies makes no sense. For one, it is against their financial interests, and second, if it can be introduced, it can be reversed.
He should appeal to the media instead: they should make people aware not how much control they are giving away now, but how dangerous it can become in the future. But it seems to me very few people would listen or care.

#8The problem are the people who are blindly following along and calling the other 50% white supremacists for not following along.
I think people are starting to give little credit to the tinfoil hat people because maybe out of all of us, their brand of crazy has merit.

Is it just the US going rogue? Seems like it is happening on a larger scale.
