Totally agree. This sort of thing kind of crossed my mind. There's also a rumor (infowars) that there's an effort to get Assange extradited to the US so that he can be pardoned by Trump, and I'm betting that framing Snowden as a spy will help them keep Assange from being pardoned. They want to call non-whistleblowers spies and the spies the whistleblowers. Same ol' shit.
Ah! Excellent point regarding Assange!! I hadn't thought of that angle. This is why I love you pedes and I treasure this site: I'm surrounded by rightwing intellects, rather than than screeching leftist savages. Thank you.
The way I understand it is... CIA is objectively corrupt, NSA not so much... NSA was working on surveillance tools which would/could have indirectly picked up CIA corrupt operations ... Snowden worked for CIA for years and was trained as a spy (in his own words). Again, the CIA has a history of proven corruption, and then Snowden moves to the NSA? as a contractor? Shortly afterward he gains a conscious and leaks NSA surveillance tools that directly help/protect the CIA?
Sounds like a spy operation that was performed by a trained spy, what do you think?
I haven't listened to a ton of Snowden interviews. I did hear him talk for a while on Joe Rogan's podcast, and it was more interesting than I thought it would be. Your theory sounds legit. I miss the days of real whistleblowers, like Snowden, Assange, Chelsea Manning, Seth Rich, etc. It was a great time when whistleblowers had to run for their lives because they were 100% real, unlike Eric CIAremella
