To a degree its almost suprising to think this was really such a big relevation.I think Snowmans made himself a fugitive over something everyone already knew.Pointing the finger at America here would be unfair and naive when it would be likely that most governments would be doing similar things. It's how how child porn rings , terrorism , and drug traffic are policed (to name a few).With information never before being so easy to monitor why wouldn't a government take advantage of that?( I doubt its much of a stretch to think its been going on forever , but its just do much easier to do now)
Snowman may like to think he's made the world take the blue pill and now we all see the matrix , but the reality is most would've said " well dur" , hardly seems worth throwing your life away for , doesn't really make him a hero or a traitor , just an idiot.
As far as civil liberties go , that's an ideal that's never really existed, its just up to governments to bluff us into believing it
No Scamp it really is
, for most.... seeing it in black and white or colour backed up by files dates names makes it 100% REAL.
Like wife or child beating in the past everyone knows it used to go on regardless, it wasn't a big deal until people were confronted with the FACTS and exposed in all its gory details and still it goes on right under our noses.
Nobody of any merit or worth high up was prepared to expose this publicly with proof but they know what was going on too, if they did it was career suicide maybe even their life. IMO the ONLY reason snowman is alive today is simply BECAUSE he went high profile and dropping exposure and facts openly as possible. If he'd have gone to his boss or higher he'd already be dead and no one the wiser.
In fact if it wasn't for the alternative media and net I do not believe it would have been allowed mention on the mainstream media at all.
The ONLY time the TPTB sits up and takes note is when it affects THEM, OR when the alternative media takes something viral forcing the mainstream to cover it.
Look around you, make no mistake 99% of people suck up the crap they are fed and will continue to do so or say dumb things like oh he's an idiot for telling the truth and exposing this growing Nazi Stormtrooper mentality. Thats how much people care about their future, thats how helpless people feel and how pointless they consider trying to make a difference is....Cower in the corner be afraid to speak out, whats the point ? that is a BIG mistake for that is EXACTLY what its counting on to continue its ever increasing influence around the globe.
The world is upside down, we have fraudsters being given billions A BS US president who was given the Peace prize for torture, reducing freedoms and sanctioning drone strikes enmasse. People who attempt to tell the truth are hunted and treated like criminals. Children who stupidly hack into Gov
non protected system are wanted as terrorists. Even peace demonstrators or advocates are put on the suspected terrorist watch list. Heroes of humanity are called traitors.
You might as well call the NSA the tech and data collecting section of the CIA only it encompasses everyone. The SS would be green with envy the way the NSA have turned NATIONAL SECURITY into a worldwide surveillance system and data gathering of the minutest details.
You want to know the best organised, pervasive and well armed terrorist group on the planet ? Well the NSA is an important part of it.
