I’m actually really surprised to see the top comment is anti snowden. Maybe i’m misinformed but he’s a hero in my eyes. Fuck the CIA NSA FBI and the swamp. Expose all their damn lies. Snowden redpilled the fuck out of me so i’m thankful he had the balls to do what so many others wouldn’t.

If snowden redpilled you it was because you had your head in the sand. Everything he exposed was already in the open, the additional damage he did was equal to the rosenbergs. The story that the media followed was his run to Russia as much as the NSA activities.

I agree it wasn't a red pill to most of us who have been keeping up with the shit going on.. Those of us who are able to glimpse what is going on behind the curtain because we are in constant information absorption mode.

But many normies did get red pilled with Snowden. What he did was a good thing no matter how many nsa / cia apologists think.

Lets look at it from the perspective / eyes of our forefathers (without trying to be an ass just being honest in my interpretation) :

Any Intel agency's job is to gather said Intel in order to use that Intel in the favor of the citizens best interests....

In the process of gathering said Intel it's obvious that the agency is gaining information which is power and it becomes more powerful over time.


If we understand this then wouldn't there have to be things like term limits those in power who receive mot only reports but also make these reports for the use of our elected leaders who many of which also have no term limits.

That is the swamp and while I draw my huge longbow to a close I would say I don't agree with anyone defending any of these agencies for whatever reason in this case.

I considered Trump's betrayal of Assange and Snowden to be egregious. He can still redeem himself on that issue.

How did Trump betray Snowden. Last I heard he said he was looking into a pardon. Not heard much about Assange though.

Ok ya got me. That was exaggeration. But Assange helped Trump win the election.

i know we can’t expect him to do everything we want but i feel like a snowden pardon would wake a lot of people the fuck up
