Snowden speaks to Niemoller

[September 5, 2014]

First they came for Jihad terrorists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a terrorist

Then they came for any Muslim
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Muslim

Then they came for the occupiers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an occupier

Then they came for all my communications
And I did not speak out
Because I had nothing to hide

Then they came for Japanese war aid
And I did not speak out
Because I had nothing to say

Then they came for German war aid
And I did not speak out
Because I was out shopping

(Inspired by Pastor Martin Niemoller, Edward Snowden, and http://www.worldwide-reading.com/archiv-en/08-09-2014-worldwide-reading-for-edward-snowden.)
