Snowden is a super Patriot, exposing the vast corruption, illegality, and fascism that is USGOV.

“It’s a guarantee they weren’t listening to the San Bernadino terrorists.”

She had it on her facebook page, which they refused to look at “out of respect for her privacy”. But they need every scrap of information about you. And they also really need into your Iphone.
Just to keep you safe/

90% of what Eddy the Snowjob took was military - the 10 % was taken for cover to hide what he had really stolen. He had a foreign handler and had inside help taking what he took - the other moles have not been caught at least publicly.

Had his intent been only to expose what you claim makes him a hero, he would not have need to take the other 90%, nor would he have fled to China then to Russia where he turned over that 90%. He would have instead gone to Congress and blown the whistle - there are many law firms that specialize in protecting whistle blowers; he would have been just fine.

He escaped to where his handlers lived - China and Russia - a joint operation. In a not unexpected ironical twist, he now works for the Russian FSA spying on you with the info he stole ...

No wonder fedzilla wants to crack iPhones. They might be their only gap in info.

Very well could be. Or they’re saving that chip for other moments to cash in. You never now.

When Aviation Week showed a pic of a Russian ship being built, it exposed the capabilities (or proved, rather) of a KH-11. And off to prison one guy went for publishing it.

Usually, spooks like to keep quiet because they don’t want anyone to know just how much they have access to. I’ll bet they got a file on Obama 1 or 2 feet thick at least (for the paper, anyways).

Nonetheless, they aren’t about to share it. At this time. If ever.

Wrong. Congress knew about it.

“Every local beat cop will not have access to your cell phone records without a warrant. The author has made an mistaken assumption”

No, the FBI will carefully hoard access to NSA raw data. They will use it for criminal prosecutions. And they will use it to suppress dissent. This is the 100% universal lesson of history. The only case against it is if you believe that the US Government is on your side and is the US government of the 1800s.

Conflate much ... Hillary just revealed certain specific information - Snowboy took Methods and Means - huge steps above what the Hill may have revealed.

Folks....our gubbamint is pressing down on us. This IS tyranny. Little by little, they are turning up the heat.

We don't deserve to be treated like suspects.

“He would have instead gone to Congress and blown the whistle - there are many law firms that specialize in protecting whistle blowers; he would have been just fine.”

Laughable. And nothing wrong with what he did. It was all deeply intertwined. No way to separate out that the US government was illegally spying domestically. And the death camps were easily less than 10% of the work of the German military. Most of what Benedict Arnold did was very solid work. A cheating husband maybe only cheats about an hour every week or two. 97% of the time you can trust him.

If they would violate such a huge red line, the entire structure needs to be ripped apart.

But its inspiring almost to see your childlike faith in parroting what the government says. They want him for exposing their treason.

Source please.

Fact: Snowden revealed programs in the NSA that the NSA was lying to congress about - denying existence.

In a just world, jail sentences would have been handed out to NSA leaders.

Congress “knowing about it” doesn’t make it legal.

Alas, it doesn't matter. To wit: "Parallel Construction"

I heard that 75% of statistics posted online are made up on the spot. Especially nice round numbers like 90%.
