Here you are. It's 2025 and we're talking Scotland Yard and minions. I believe he did talk about minions and refer to them as minions once or twice, maybe reluctantly.

I took an emergency medical leave of absence from work, citing epilepsy, and packed scant luggage and four laptops, secure communications, normal communications at Decoy, and an air gap, a computer that had never gone and would never go online. I left my smartphone on the kitchen counter alongside a notepad, on which I scribbled in pen, got called away for work, I love you.

I signed it with my call letter nickname, Echo. Then I went to the airport and bought a ticket in cash for the next flight to Tokyo. In Tokyo, I bought another ticket in cash, and on May 20th arrived in Hong Kong, the city where the world first met me. Okay. Welcome to The Rest Is Classified. I'm David McCloskey. And I'm Gordon Carrera.

And that, unfortunately, dear listeners, was yet another reading from Edward Snowden's memoir, Permanent Record. And we are now, for those who have been listening to this wonderful series about... Edward Snowden.

We are now at a really a critical kind of turning point in this story because Edward Snowden is taking the plunge and he is going to finally reach out to journalists to get his information out to the world. And I think it's probably worth a little bit of How did we get here? Yep. Snowden, up to this point, he's been a CIA officer, technical officer. He's been a contractor for the NSA.

He has taken really via bulk downloads and some kind of fairly ingenious methods of sneaking information out of his NSA office in Hawaii, this bunker beneath the pineapple field. He's taken out... a trove of about 1.5 million documents, a variety of internal databases. And he's now at a point where he is figuring out how does he get this information out to the world?

Well, I mean, honestly, in the documentary about Snowden, Citizen Four, there is a scene where Greenwald and Snowden are sitting together. And Greenwald, I'm actually kind of shocked it was in the documentary because it's just Greenwald for about 60 seconds struggling with technology on his laptop. So he is an ideal character. mouthpiece for Snowden because he is at heart a civil liberties lawyer.
