We have all won because of this man's actions. Now we KNOW that we have to live and act as there is no secrecy or refuge. What you say or do really can be used against you so be very, very careful about what you say, write or do.

BIG BROTHER REALLY IS WATCHING. Actually several Big Brothers' are watching. Some are governments and some are corporations.

The government is made up of people, which is the problem.

Those people will sell what they have learned to the highest bidder. Where do you think all that junk mail comes from? Why do you think the cops are kicking down someone's door and shooting them. Because they bought a wire tap and the guy just mentioned some drug or another. In this instance no drugs were found but the shooter never faced manslaughter charges either.

Sure Snowden won. He's probably sitting in Moscow drinking vodka and eating caviar with a bevy of high priced Russian call girls...all at the behest of his buddy Putin.

Now where's the Russian equivalent of Snowden to leak all the shady shat the Russians are up to?

Snowden: Clapper comments pushed me to become leaker

Quote:
In a wide-ranging interview with Wired magazine over several days from Moscow, Snowden said he had been troubled for years by the activities of the National Security Agency but that national intelligence chief James Clapper's testimony prompted him to act.

Hope he enjoys living with his Russian pals, not like they would do anything like he whines about the US doing, God they must laugh into their vodka watching him ramble on about the evils of the West. They will throw him to the wolves when they are through pumping him for everything he has. Guess what will be waiting for him when they toss him out on his arse? He will get his reward one day, hopefully it will be slow and painful but the odds are it will be quick and he will not even know what hit him, retribution is a Bi#$%.
