Harvardin yliopistossa työskentelevän pääkouluttajan Jed Willardin keskeisenä viestinä oli: ”Jos et kerro omaa tarinaasi, joku muu kertoo sen puolestasi.” Suomella pitäisi Willardin mukaan olla positiivinen ja laajasti jaettu tarina suomalaisuudesta. Myös Mantilan mukaan informaatiovaikuttamisen torjumiseksi ei enää riitä valheiden kumoaminen faktoilla. Sen lisäksi Suomen tulee ”hyvin vahvasti tuoda esiin” omaa tarinaansa.

The federal government, as most people know by now, seized two months of phone records from Associated Press. And now we learn that Verizon Wireless made no attempt of preventing the government from doing so or even asking permission to allow them to notify AP that the federal government was going to do so--in other words, secretly handed over these files. And many people have suggested, including AP itself, that AP's constitutional rights to report and investigate as a news organization has been violated. Now joining us to talk about all of this is Mark Seibel. He oversees McClatchy Newspapers' foreign bureaus as chief of correspondents. He was formerly managing editor online for McClatchy Washington bureau's website. He joined the bureau in 2003. He was editor in charge of international and national security coverage for The Miami Herald, where he directed two Pulitzer Prize winning reporting efforts.

Andrea Peterson covers technology policy for The Washington Post, with an emphasis on cybersecurity, consumer privacy, transparency, surveillance and open government. Bezos: "The story here is that we won a contract with the CIA. And IBM protested the contract, and now it's either going to get rebid or they're going to decide to rebid it based on litigation. But if you had told anybody even two years ago that IBM would challenge Amazon for a CIA contract, people would be amazed. What that team has done in a very short time is remarkable. Their product offering is far ahead of anyone else. Mostly because they started so early and worked so hard on it."
Chris Hedges artikel "Brave New Dystopia 2011" (2010); bygger på bl a Sheldon Wolins tes om "inverterad totalitarism", ett politiker-media-komplex som medvetet strävar efter makt för maktens egen skull. "The corporation state... devours us from the inside out." "We have been entranced, as Wolin writes, by “...a dream-laden culture of ever-expanding control and possibility, whose denizens are prone to fantasies because the vast majority have imagination but little scientific knowledge.” Från Orwell till Huxley, och tillbaka till Orwell: "The era of amusement is being replaced by the era of repression. Tens of millions of citizens have had their e-mails and phone records turned over to the government. We are the most monitored and spied-on citizenry in human history. Many of us have our daily routine caught on dozens of security cameras. Our proclivities and habits are recorded on the Internet. Our profiles are electronically generated. Our bodies are patted down at airports and filmed by scanners. And public service announcements, car inspection stickers, and public transportation posters constantly urge us to report suspicious activity. The enemy is everywhere."
25.5.: "Shortly after the killing of Drummer Rigby [in Woolwich], 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo was filmed by a passer-by saying he had carried out the attack because British soldiers killed Muslims every day [...] A friend of Mr Adebolajo, Abu Nusaybah, was arrested on Friday night on BBC premises following an interview with BBC Newsnight. The arrest was not directly related to the murder of Drummer Rigby, the Met Police said. Mr Nusayabah told the programme that Mr Adebolajo had rejected an approach by MI5 to work for them around six months ago."

Pierre Omidyar’s dystopian vision is merging with Glenn Greenwald’s and Laura Poitras’ monopoly on the crown jewels of the National Security Agency — the world’s secrets, our secrets
