Since this video has been blocked by western media, I will post here. Is he a traitor or a hero?

God damn it. I have to rewrite the whole thing fuck.

Edward Snowden is not a hero, he is a fucking retard.

Not only did he violate his contract with the NSA (you have got to be fucking stupid to do so), he also released information that was already known! Whether you knew that the government was spying on you or not, everyone already knew, and Edward just put a spotlight on it. He made the Government mad, and will never be on US soil again, unless it's in a casket or behind bars.

If you honestly think that you need to be afraid that the government has access to your "personal" shit, then you really need to learn more about the purpose on the NSA. There are computer codes set up for phones/internet/etc. Basically all they do is store them in a gargantuan data base, and have a level of importance from 1-10. 1 being that the file has no keywords detected, and 10 having several keywords detected. When I say "keywords" I mean that they have a huge list of words that may infer a threat. All of your personal shit will 100% likely never ever be viewed, unless of course you are planning to kill someone. The NSA keeps records for many reasons, they can predict or catch an attack before it happens, or catch the attackers after the attack.

I get frustrated with people that are all "yo obama is listnin 2 my call bro, anarky!!!11!1!", because they do all they do to keep this nation safe!

The fact that you think all he did was tell people what they already know is fucking stupid.

You think he would give up his job, piss off all of the nerds at the NSA and put himself into the situation he did just to say "hey, guys, the Government is spying on us!"?

He released numerous classified documents to various media outlets. Do you think all of us already know what was in those classified documents?

The nobel peace prize is a fucking joke. I mean Henry Kissinger got one. I mean a PEACE prize? Are you fucking kidding me? And Al gore got one and that dude is worthless.

And so many awesome deserving people that never got one verses some of the clowns that did. It has 0 credibility

You people didn't know because you only give a shit about something if everyone is talking about it. Also the fact that you have got to be so fucking retarded to release that information to the public, he did it because he wanted to look like a hero, which people are retarded enough to think he is one

LOL. WHAT.

I am so glad that you are familiar with the innermost workings of our Government. He's a retard because he went through with something that you would never, in your life, have the balls to carry out.

Go back to the flock you fucking sheep.

On the topic of NSA, this talk is hugely interesting and does a great job creating a picture of NSA spy techniques and capabilities.

Don't let the title mislead you, it's presented by respected tech journalist and programmer Jacob Appelbaum.

Also, this is an interesting debate, not nearly as in depth, but a relatively good debate. Much more shallow than the previous link.

The one point that wallisch made while trolling that is valid, is that it's kind of ridiculous that nobody was talking about any of that shit before. Some of the stuff should have been common knowledge but people are herp derping oblivious.Thank god these same people are able to legally vote.

Years after it should have been news it was suddenly news that the NSA was fucking sketchy/worthless. You'd have to hit some people in the face with a brick for them ever to notice anything.

Oh well. Time to chug some whiskey and pass out naked in an alley. Goodbye cruel world.

He's pretty much a world wide hero.

Yes, the rest of the world wants to know that the US and Canada and UK are phone tapping their leaders' personal cell phones (like Merkel). Yes, the rest of the world wants to know government agencies are illegally spying on the behalf of private enterprise (like Canada spying on Brazilian government to help Canadian mining companies). Yes, I want to know my calls and texts are being recorded and scanned by the United States government when I'm not even a citizen.

Essentially he's showed the rest of the world how much of a cock the US government is.

Thank you Snowden.

Fuck you America. You can suck a pussy bleeding chode.

I really don't think you understand the gravity of what the NSA is doing, the mind-bending reach they have, and the decided lack of transparency surrounding their activities. Or maybe the fact that the director of the NSA openly committed perjury when asked by a senate committee if they were collecting information in any way on American citizens.

I would kindly ask that you watch the link I posted above, the talk given by Jacob Appelbaum. It'll take an hour of your time, that's it.

Snowden is such a fucking idiot. You keep talking about "intelligence," please, look up edward snowden's biography. 90% of the people on this site are smart than him, if not more. Really the terrible part of this entire thing is that some bs sensationalized news story is the only thing that can get people interested in the Us government. And you could find like 80% of what snowden "uncovered" before the leak. The laws and Acts were all open to the public.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but...I really don't care if the government is capable of listening to my phone calls/looking at my texts/looking at my internet or whatever else they're capable of doing. Why? Because there's no chance in hell they're actually looking at anything I do. I'm just not important enough, and the NSA is way too busy to look at my, or anyone else's personal information. Anyone who is legitimately worried about the government listening to their phone calls simply has an ego problem to assume that anyone cares enough about their existence to do so.

I suppose there is the argument that this happened in Nazi Germany and slowly increasing his control over communications is how Hitler brainwashed so many people, and the government is going to keep doing more and more stuff like this, but since that already happened, I'm sure somebody would realize it before it went too far.

Keep shitting on the 4th amendment.

I’m positive Exxon collaborated with the NSA to collect data that served the corporate interest. Don’t think it isn’t going full blown corporate haywire.

The right to due process? Innocent to proven guilty? “if I have nothing to hide than who cares,"

You are essentially rejecting the idea that people in a court of law must be proven guilty. "we are guilty until proven innocent.” This seems to be what most people believe.

If everyone’s every action were being recorded, and people will violate some dumb law at any given time, then punishment becomes purely selective. This is where we are heading. We let our freedoms crumble because of a false perception of security, in the name of protection from this so called terror. In fact, all of this could lead to a greater encroachment on our liberties in the future.

Will future administrations refrain from detaining or killing citizens of the U.S who speak out against the powers that be. Snowden would of surely been thrown in jail as far as one knows avoiding the mechanisms of the judicial process. Snowden has stated, “that the US secret service was trying to kill him."






















It is uncertain that incoming



The NSA has been sharing raw intelligence with Israel, this includes American’s data.

Kissenger took a dump on those East Timor commi’s
