Kudos Mr. Snowden. I salute your sacrifice.
Well, the points you bring up are excellent examples of violating natural law.
I believe a government, who perpetually spies upon Americans and violate even more natural rights like the 1st, 2nd, particularly the 4th and 5th, the 14th and 10th are amoral acts commited not, by some inanimate object but, by people who act above the law, subverting it, and “consuming” your rights along the way.
Was there a more elegant way for Snowden to object and bring this to the light for fellow Americans to see?
I don’t think so.
I also believe it went to level of conspiracy, which compounds it.
You and I are from similar backgrounds in our respective careers.
I get your view and take on this but, the alternative to a Snowden probably doesn’t exist.
The government hasn’t the right to pursue criminals while violating our rights and at its basic level and the mindset of this administration that is what we are dealing with.
The sedition act was a gross violation of our rights, as was the internment of Japanese Americans.
So too the Tuskegee experiments amd many others.
I would have taken the information to my grave.
However, Powers That Be: DO NOT let me see evidence of murder or injury, relocation or imprisonment of people in a manner that violates their Natural Rights or the Rights enumerated in the BOR. Just do us both a favor.
The Congressional Medal of Honor, a long prison sentence, the Nobel Peace Prize, heavy fines and a street named after him in the country of his choice.

Balance.

Snowden EXPOSED a shadow givernment...
A shadow many/most DO NOT WANT to see..
They see the alleged givernment not the real one..
The federal givernment you think you have..
IS NOT the federal givernment that is..
It is FUBAR ......... ON PURPOSE...
sucking the blood out of the Republic...
creating a democracy..
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
That would be a Caning in Singapore and 40 whacks would kill him.
Balance?
Are we done with this thread?
Alright, 5 whacks.
Let’s talk about sailing ships, particularly Man-o-Wars.
Like the Enterprise and The Constitution?
I like it.
BTW, I was at my lodge in observance of our Constitution.
I won both contests...or rather, came in second place in one.
We were asked what otblher day is celebrated concurrently with Constition Day.
I yelled out “My Birthday”.
“Wrong answer” cane the reply.
“Oh yeah? You call my Mom next Wednesday and tell her that!” I responded.
“You burned your response. Anyone have the answer?” They asked...
I muttered to the person next to me “Citizenship Day” and they yelled it out.
LOL
I done got cheated....
LOL ya wild man
Punks...LOL
Absolutely. He did.
He also did us all a huge disservice.
If all he did, was expose the NSA spying on Americans, he did us a service. I am not sure if we know the extent of what else he may have revealed yet, but If he also compromised legitimate intelligence gathering operations, and has gotten American and allied agents killed, that is not good. Laz, have you heard of any details in this area?
Well put.
Perhaps a bit of proof that "The law is an ass" is an apropos statement...
You don’t need an I.Q. higher than a turnip to know that the UNOFFICIAL customers for any NSA generated data was globalist fascist capital as defined in this video:
