Evil twins? . . . rivals with same celebrity optician?
We do not know if Eric Snowden has actually exposed anything any self-aware terrorist organization did not already assume. We do not know that he did anything more than “popularize” with high drama information that was part of general suspicion, and therefore any secret aspect ineffective.
So we do not know if Snowden is a hero or not. We suspect not, but we are grateful that greater public awareness has been brought to bare on the surveillance society expanded on by the Obamaites. The greater publicity has engendered important analysis of the implications of such wholesale surveillance and data gathering of US citizens’ activities, and has exposed the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Obama administration. Nevertheless this excerpt from the publication Western Journalism is important to keep in mind as well.
He went on, its reported, to inform our enemies that we have been working to protect our systems, our country and our lives, by employing the same tactics on them that they have been relentlessly doing to us. That we have actually had the nerve to try to hack into their systems to see what it is they were doing to ours and what they intended to do with the information and technology they were gathering from us.
If it has gone even further than that, to the extent that the methods and means we use, have been disclosed, that would be a very, very bad thing. Again, its entirely too soon to place the final vignette on his character or intent. But its not too early to see his actions may be more aligned with Communism than Capitalism. If in fact, as has been reported, he has given our enemies information on how and what we are doing to keep track of them and thereby thwarting our ability to protect or circumvent malicious intent, his status as a hero whistle blower would be immediately reclassified to traitor.
If as stated by National Security Adviser Susan Rice that the Snowden “leaks” have no significant diplomatic consequences then what damaging secrets could have been revealed (other than the hypocrisy of the Obama administration and the media heretofore in its scrutiny of the Obama administration)?

That picture is so funny! And Susan “YouTube Video” Rice is telling us nothing is wrong?! I am falling out of my chair laughing now!
