Snowden exposed to all citizens of the United States (and yes, the world- that was inevitable) that their own government was spying on them, in complete secrecy, in ways and scales that were never before thought possible. Literally every phone call being tracked. "But it was just the metadata" was the only rebuttal the Fed could give.
How is this not patriotic? Would you prefer to live in ignorance?
He also helped the CIA & the corrupt regime under obummer avoid detection whilst they were crafting their Iran deal by exposing the NSA sigint tools unknown to those being surveiled. He also revealed tools that were used internationally & let loose to our 'allies' that they were being spied on which gave us a black eye & removed our collection capability.
A couple of users in the thread are shilling pretty hard for snowden - I wonder why?
A collection capability which should have been made public from day 1 and has otherwise been used in surveillance of the entire US citizenry. That collection capability has been rightfully exposed, should be made legally impossible, and should be completely dismantled and destroyed.
Finally what is all this CIA talk? Do you have proof of this "at the behest of the CIA" stuff? Proof that he was acting on orders? lots of disinformation in this thread... "I wonder why?"
Another user posted a link to snowden's CIA service record - if you had intellectual curiosity vs trying to keep people on the plantation, you would have looked it up yourself & not bothered to ask for it to be posted again. Where is your 'proof' that he was not acting at the behest of the CIA? Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent, & snowden was/is a CIA agent... You & 'blacksunfun1' have an inexplicable fancy for defending snowden's honor...
proof of "at the behest of the CIA"? proof that he was actually acting under direct orders to expose this biggest mass domestic surveillance crime our government has ever committed?
so much disinformation in this thread. if you can't prove that claim, you're fake news
So you want someone to post the (likely illegal) order given by the CIA which directed snowden to infiltrate the NSA & without that you cry 'fake news!'... Do you really expect someone to have that smoking gun? Preposterous ask & you know it. Those who have eyes to see & a brain to think can review all of the available evidence & draw their own conclusions. You are not even willing to give it a thought, because you're nothing but a shill, imho. If you're not, then you should really try & do some objective due diligence regarding snowden - those who have are not parroting your narrative...
Assange yes. Snowden no. Nothing Patriotic about what Snowden did.

Because he did it at the behest of Brennan CIA under obummer to blind the NSA who was monitoring the nefarious actions of the traitorous regime.
Everyone supporting snowden is either uninformed or a shill...
