Snowden Bombshell: Seems he downloaded entire roster of U.S. government - all names, home addresses and other personal info of **all** officials and gov'��t employees - including law enforcement — plus bankers, corporate boards of directors and more!

Once again the comments oppose the gov'ts media talking heads narrative saying most people think ES is a traitor.

If this is true I am no longer buying the 'he used a couple of thumb drives' narrative..

When the lamestream media is the source, who knows the truth?

I agree..

I do believe that if this is true then it answers one of the questions I had as to how he got out of Hong Kong and received asylum in Russia.

I don't think either country gives a rats a$$ about US domestic spying.

And I seriously doubt they didn't know what the NSA was doing in their own countries.

But a detailed list like this... That buys a lot.. and explains even more.

Gotta love that guy. And it wont be long until info starts to leak.

With luck, it will also show who is owned.

whoever doesn't get outed!

snowden said a long time ago he gave everything up... just a scapegoat now

May have done that so he'd live a little longer.

He could have read somewhere the saying, Don't give pearls to swine.

suppose Snowden doesn't exist,or at least isn't what he's purported to be?

Victor Marchetti wrote: "A 'limited hangout' is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."[1]

The Guardian, which broke the initial story utilizing Snowden as a source, is part of the mainstream media. The mainstream media is controlled and globalist in its outlook. If those controlling the Guardian and other mainstream outlets didn't want Snowden on the front page, he wouldn't be there.

Snowden may not know he is being manipulated. The courageous Glenn Greenwald who used him as a source may not know, either. But the Snowden affair is being blown up for one reason or another.

That is surely a cynical way of viewing the situation but, unfortunately, it is probably also the correct one. Additionally, while this sounds like a grim assessment, it is not one necessarily. More about that at the end of this article.

Let's speculate about the forces motivating a Snowden gambit. First of all, the surveillance state is so big that those behind its creation cannot deny it anymore. Second, it is has been exposed constantly by the alternative media, making mainstream media look even less credible than usual.

What to do? They used to call what is going on a "limited hangout." What we call the Internet Reformation has perhaps forced the hands of those behind the surveillance state. Under pressure to acknowledge what is clearly taking place, they have created a great and dramatic show.

Maybe SNOWden is a SNOW-Job!

Did give it up, according to the OP. Info is mirrored at more than 1200 sites, all they need is the encrypted key to make public. Wonder how many sources hold the key?

Where the hell is Ms Jeanie when we need her.

NSA?

Even if your post could be rebutted, low be unto me on investing that kind of effort.

But as to the conclusion, that could be but one of a multitude of possibilities.

The one I prefer is the old smoke and mirror game to divert the attention while something else is occurring in the background they don't want followed.

And for this Snowden thing, did anything really change? A little outrage but now it just continues right out in the open.

There's another angle lately, all just more lamestream spin in my opinion, but this one makes more sense than the one above..... to me.

The NSA and the CIA are competing for taxpayer dollars and power thru budget and policy. Snowden worked for the CIA and stole NSA files for release to smear them in the public eye.

That could work but for the fact the release caused mistrust of most all gov't alphabet agencies in general of the intelligence ( ) type, so that seems unlikely...... unless of course there is a "shift" in CIA support of the public.

We all know of course how long that would last! About as long as an Obozo promise!

I used to like alphabet soup but found out it just contained too much salt to be healthy. So now I just stick to home made with regular pasta.
