Snowden is a top scumbag. Bring him to justice. He could have just disclosed domestic spying operations. Instead, he lit a match and torched the NSA to the ground, while kicking off a global subversion movement directed primarily at the USIC. That he fled to adversaries while, for instance, disclosing USIC hacking efforts against them indicates his motives. He's anything but a patriot. He's a traitor against the United States, against the oath he took. His profits from the book should be seized.
Why does Snowden's twitter only follow @NSAGov? Are they his sole "target" forever? His entire social presence is centered around this idea of the NSA being his sole "adversary"? He torched the NSA to the ground.
Why did someone who is so calculating execute an ostensibly haphazard plan to end up overseas? Intentional or not, Snowden went to HK then Russia. He stays in Russia to avoid facing justice.
How much time did Snowden have to plan for his escape? At least since December 2012. It was enough time for him to think through and coordinate the biggest part of such a plan: the diversion. It would not be surprising to discover that he had help domestically during this process.
The forthcoming book does allow Snowden to write his own history.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 7y agoWriting your own story is what every human does. Then we mediate our perceptions with others. It does get amusing that we apparently live in times where there is already an established hivemind perception people are expected to adhere to. I could have understood it in former USSR. I do not understand or accept it for US. I moved here by choice and I am stupid and naive enough to believe founding fathers dreams. Snowden is still a hero to me. At least he shone light on it. Before that, Wyden tried to do it through official channels, but Clapper outright lied in public. So what do you do? Collect paycheck, keep your head down, not make waves and listen to elected critters make statements you know to run counter to reality. Alternatively, you can tell the truth and risk government wrath for telling how things really work. Yeah. What a scumbag that Snowden is.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoMost of what Snowden said was the nonsensical ravings of a conspiracy theorist. You would think he would have documents to prove his conspiracies, but the only illegal program he revealed was phone metadata collection, which was borderline enough that the second court to look at it ruled that it was legal.
