  Glenn Greenwald, in a skyped in talk to the Socialism 2013 Conference, told the audience, for the first time, according to him, about his experience going through the process of encountering, interacting with Ed Snowden, at first anonymously, then seeing his first evidence that Snowden was the real deal. “It made me dizzy,” he described.

  Greenwald, who has been a regular at the conference for several years, told the audience that a bombshell he would soon be releasing was that “NSA can redirect to its storage one billion cell phone calls every thing day. They are storing every call and have the capability to listen to them… It is a globalized system designed to destroy all privacy— with no accountabliity and no safeguards.“

  He described the debate about his journalism is ” being led by TV actors who play the role of journalists on TV. ”
  –
  Glenn discussed how the US military’s banning of access to the Guardian, the paper he publishes with, at all military bases, was better than receiving a Pulitzer or any other journalism award. He cited David Halberstam, saying, “David Halberstam viewed the measure of good journalism by how much you anger the people in power.”
  –
  Greenwald was introduced by fellow investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, who spoke before Greenwald. Scahill said, “What Glenn Greenwald has done in the past few weeks, with his reporting is to shake the foundations of power. ”  and, also, in Scahill’s own talk, he said, “there already was a coup in this country. It happened a long time ago. It was when corporations took control.”
