"Interviewer: Are German authorities or German politicians involved in the NSA surveillance system?""Snowden: Yes, of course. We're in bed together with the Germans the same as with most other Western countries. For example, we tip them off when someone we want is flying through their airports (that we for example, have learned from the cell phone of a suspected hacker's girlfriend in a totally unrelated third country -- and they hand them over to us. They don't ask to justify how we know something, and vice versa, to insulate their political leaders from the backlash of knowing how grievously they're violating global privacy."

"If you think about it for about half a second, you will realize that the greatest danger of Wikipedia is that it is written by government entities, including CIA, FBI, NSA, Pentagon, State Department, White House, and so on. Those are the paid editors you should be on the alert for. The second level of propaganda comes from those who are influenced by those organizations, including other government agencies, university academics, NGO's, and the ubiquitous Foundation flunkies. All of them are immune from the FCC and are shielded from other regulation. The odds of their non-disclosure being caught and prosecuted is zero. The odds of being caught and hit with a civil lawsuit is tiny, and the odds that any court would find against the government is even lower. So none of this should assuage your fears in the least. It should only make you twice as vigilant"
