RE: Snowden has asked Obama to pardon
There is reason to believe that Snowden is a psychological operation. Foremost wouldn't he be saying 911 is a complete lie? Glen Greenwald is not a truther. He supports the official story. Then there the fact that all the snowden stuff hasn't been released and according to glen...aliens are involved. For the whole panopticon philosophy to work people must know or at least think they are being watched. Why does snowden get so much mainstream press?... this is the real tell. William Binney doesn't get any mainstream press. If you find it hard to imagine then I can most assuredly say you don't know the facts about mkultra, operation mockingbird or even what the FOIA is? Not that I trust this either... however you can't escape the conclusion that we have been tricked in terrible ways.
I have serious reservations about how genuine Snowden is as well. It's an interesting situation, and regardless of whether you think Snowden is a traitor or a patriot, the story is very divisive.
You gotta look at the bottom line, that very little of substance (percentage wise at least) has been made public of the material Snowden leaked. From the earliest get-go Greenwald was shown to be an insider. The case does get people talking and asking questions, at least for those with any open mindedness, however one can't dismiss the definite possibility the entire case is a psyop to villainize whistleblowers, to get people to inform on each other etc.
Agreed. I still can't get my mind around the fact that counter culture of the 60s was mostly contrived. Not the activism necessarily but the hippie drug use and culture was. Once you know that it's pretty hard to believe anything that comes from a large organization. .. period.
