A British newspaper Sunday revealed the source of the leak revealing the NSA’s extensive surveillance of US communications. Edward Snowden, a former CIA technical assistant who now works for a defense contractor with ties to the National Security Agency, asked the Guardian newspaper to reveal his identity. “I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,” he told the newspaper in a remarkable, rambling interview that touched on his reasons for the leak, how he took precautions in not revealing documents that could harm particular people, how he became disillusioned, and how he expects his life as he knows it to end. “I don’t want the story to be about me. I want it to be about what the US government is doing.” “I’m willing to sacrifice all of that because I can’t in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they’re secretly building.” The Guardian first disclosed that the NSA has been collecting cellphone metadata — time of calls, their length, their destination, but not the contents of the conversation — for many business calls within the United States and from the United States to foreign countries. Since the disclosure, President Obama and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have acknowledged the program, saying it is an essential tool for revealing possible patterns that could lead to discovering terrorism plots. They said the program was overseen by a secret spy court. “My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them.” said Snowden, who added that he has been holed up in a hotel room in Hong Kong and hopes to receive asylum, possibly from Iceland.

you and Jon Rappoport:
i heard that Iceland has offered Snowden asylum.
not to downplay what this guy has done, but why is it that it seems that every six months or year there is another dramatic revelation of some govt worker sho screms 'THEYRE SPYING ON YOU! THEYRE SPYING ON YOU! yeah weve heard it all before, no? emails, phones, even fake trees on the street. maybe i'm missing something but what is so new here that was revealed that we havent known since about 911? i couldve sworn ive seen hundred of stories about verizon spying in the last decade or so. so whats the big surprise that was revealed?

A smoking gun, and TPTB not brave enough to deny, deny, deny. Before if you believed any of this you were a kook. “Anti-semitism is a disease–you catch it from Jews”–Edgar J. Steele “The jew cries out in pain, as he strikes you.”–Polish proverb “I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless quotes I published in my tag lines. I am very sorry and ashamed. I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights."- Hmmmmm

I understand Snowden has more specifics to drop. As he does, this anti number should grow.
FYI, Here's a shot at the poll results yesterday. The comments to these articles are even more lopsided. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll
I read somewhere last night that the majority of the people thought Snowden exposing NSA wiretapping was WRONG. I'm glad to see that poll, but look here. Of course, this is CNN. I'm sure its audience was stacked.

If that was true, I dont see how it would get the kind of attention it's getting, especially from the MSM, forget about the alternative media. Right now they are on damage control, imo. So they'll lie, distract, etc. That only fools the fools. It would be interesting to know where they got the audience in that vid. Are they employees? Interns? Or was it a random selection? Since everything is stage managed, I doubt it was a random selection. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll
The beta, skirt wearing males @ Faux are trying their best to paint him a traitor. They ripped his g/f for "walking around their apt naked" (he lived in Hawaii) and for taking pole dancing lessons. Hell, she's my kind of woman.
Are you serious? you're kidding, right? So now it's about the girlfriend? Being naked in their own apartment? Pole dancing lessons? Are you sure you didn't get FOX mixed up with CBN? Wow. That is getting desperate. That doesn't even make it up to the level of grasping for straws. They're clawing at the air. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll
Are you sure you didn't get FOX mixed up with CBN? Wow. That is getting desperate. Nope, it's as true as April showers. I heard it myself.
Here ya' go
Yessssssss! “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
It's not that I didn't believe you. I just thought it was FOX really stretching things to the breaking point, like they've been known to do on occasion. That's not as bad as I thought it would be. Not that she should be caught up in this, but I was expecting something much worse. ------------------------------------------ Why should we worship in God what we detest in man? -Robert Ingersoll

Sir Lod... Here is where Snowden got part of his statement... It is very interesting as it is about Nazi Germany and the SS... I have not seen this posted elsewhere. " The Architecture of Oppression: The SS, Forced Labor and the Nazi Monumental Building Economy" Cyni...
Hey! Great to see'ya and thanks for the info.

hi Cyni! i am interested in your post, but i'm going to have to read the thread to follow what you are referring to. i will do that later this evening. good to see you...
The big surprise is the scope. Simpsons and family guy make fun of an all seeing total surveillance state. Turns out we are being spied upon through the dish washer. All of our emails are being monitored, all of our phone calls are being recorded. Not some. ALL! All is a very big word. ______________________________________ Suspect all media / resist bad propaganda/Learn NLP everyday everyway ;) (It's a more positive message)
Here is brief synopsis of the book " The Architecture of Oppression" This book re-evaluates the architectural history of Nazi Germany and looks at the development of the forced-labour concentration camp system. Through an analysis of such major Nazi building projects as the Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds and the rebuilding of Berlin, Jaskot ties together the development of the German building economy, state architectural goals and the rise of the SS as a political and economic force. As a result, The Architecture of Oppression contributes to our understanding of the conjunction of culture and politics in the Nazi period as well as the agency of architects and SS administrators in enabling this process". Snowden is a deep reader, far above the likes of those in Washington.
The poor bastard! Oh, the humanity! Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. She seems to be a pretty decent writer. It'd be neat if she posted here. And gave me a private pole dance. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Good to see you, OM. You've been missed.
Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Thank you...not staying. I have not seen any reference in the media as to where Snowden got the term he used in his TV statement. I received query as to why no media has mentioned it, are they ignorant or intentionally being quiet about the obvious connection. Read the synopsis and it is clear where Snowden is coming from, he has read history and is doing his part to awaken Americans to this corrupt government.
As a systems administrator , I'd say a higher intellect is/was expected of mr snowden. ______________________________________ Suspect all media / resist bad propaganda/Learn NLP everyday everyway ;) (It's a more positive message)
Pole dancing will be the next Olympic Games event, both Winter and Summer. The pole rules. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

seems so. or it's possible that many in Washington know about and understand this blueprint, but they stay mum.
I hear you Jim. Your thought bring me back to my short stint in the Narcotics division in the early 70s. The city was ours to play in, and we did. The bad guys couldn't give up their competition quick enough, and the competition couldn't turn snitch fast enough. Who needed the NSA, CIA, or the FBI when our best "data mining" was done by s'bags and was 100% accurate.
Perfectly valid point. Just speculating but it could be that they are working at desensitizing people to the thought that their rights and privacy are being continuously violated. Start using StartPage.com to search, and they'll soon have StartMail - both as secure as can be possible in this insane world.

yes Dr Katherine ALbrecht author of spychips (and one of my favorite radio hosts) works for startpage and has done shows on their upcoming email program. they will charge $5 a month for the private mail but i will use it and appreciate them. you can sign up for the free beta program which will be out some time soon. give it a try for free!

Dang! I haven't heard of the charge for StartMail. Are you sure of this? Thanks. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

However, I don't think it will have ads and it does cost them to provide the service. I am familiar with Katherine Albrecht and she does seem to be on the up and up.
I just wrote the Dear Doctor and asked her about this as well as about hooking up with Kim Dotcom's new Mega cloud servers. Right now, I assume that everything I do on the interweb is captured and recorded somewhere. Eff'em. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Ditto. ;-) The problem that the Psychotics in charge are running into now is that too many people are on to what they are doing and there is increasing restiveness. It will very soon be past the point where they can put the lid back on and clamp down, and their own flunkies are getting disgusted enough to start talking about what is really going on. This isn't over yet, but there are a few cards in their house that are wobbling. Psychotics know only one thing - how to destroy. They are incapable of building something lasting. yes, theyre up front about the fact they will charge & i have no problem with it. google etc their business is data mining so they make $ on that. This will be a private mail service for about $60 annual. i appreciate the option.

So it would seem. Almost too good to be true, which leads my cynical mind to wonder is this isn't a made-for-TeeVee mindfuck that's going to be used against us somehow.
