Edward Snowden: I'm The Leaker!

Junk food media now focuses on man who leaked NSA info to the press.

People in the media are a buzzed about the guy who leaked classified information to the press. The National Security Agency (NSA)  is a cryptologic intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence, as well as protecting U.S. government communications and information systems, which involves information security and cryptanalysis/cryptography.

The NSA is directed by at least a lieutenant general or vice admiral. NSA is a key component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, which is headed by the Director of National Intelligence. The Central Security Service is a co-located agency created to coordinate intelligence activities and co-operation between NSA and other U.S. military cryptanalysis agencies. The Director of the National Security Agency serves as the Commander of the United States Cyber Command and Chief of the Central Security Service (CIA).

Edward Snowden, an American man who told The Guardian about the NSA's collection of telecommunications.

Snowden was brought up in Elizabeth City, North Carolina; then he moved with his family to Ellicott City, Maryland, where he studied computing at a community college in order to gain the credits necessary to obtain a high school diploma. He later obtained his GED.

In 2003, Snowden enlisted in the United States Army with the hope of eventually joining the Special Forces. He was discharged after breaking both of his legs in a training accident. He then went to work as a security guard for a covert NSA facility at the University of Maryland. After that he went to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), where he worked on IT security.

In 2007, the CIA stationed him with diplomatic cover in Geneva, Switzerland, where he was responsible for maintaining computer network security. Leaving the CIA in 2009, he worked for a private contractor inside an NSA facility on a United States military base in Japan.

At the time of his departure from the U.S. in May 2013, he had been working for defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton for less than three months, as a system administrator inside of the NSA in Hawaii. He described his life as "very comfortable," living with his girlfriend and earning a salary of "roughly U.S. $200,000."

The Guardian describes Snowden as intensely passionate about the value of privacy; his laptop is adorned with stickers supporting internet freedom organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Tor Project.In the 2008 presidential election, Snowden voted for a third party. He said he "believed in Obama's promises," yet "he continued with the policies of his predecessor."Political donation records indicate that he contributed to the primary campaign of Ron Paul.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and his father former Texas congressman Ron Paul advocates kookspiracy theories about the government. If they're elected president, they'll just continue the NSA wiretapping. They scream at the clouds. The United States clandestine services take leaks seriously. 

Snowden has said that he has a "predisposition to seek asylum in a country with shared values," and that his ideal choice would be Iceland. The International Modern Media Institute, an Icelandic freedom of speech advocacy organisation, on the day his identity was revealed issued a statement offering Snowden legal advice and assistance in gaining asylum.

CNN wrote on its news website that Snowden is "running out of cash," with The Guardian's Ewen MacAskill telling CNN that Snowden's "credit card is going to max out pretty quickly" because of the expense of living in a hotel in Hong Kong.

On June 10, The New York Times reported that a senior Hong Kong politician advised Snowden to leave the territory or face extradition to United States.

Okay, the junk food media dissects the guy's political affiliation.

They're calling this guy a "hero" and "traitor" in the same sentence.

Since the Bradley Manning controversy, many young minds inspired by the boombastic rhetoric of Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) (Rand Perot) former politico Ron Paul (Ron Perot) and kookspiracy agitator Alex Jones (Crazy Jones) have driven White men into the matrix of lunacy.

Sure the government is watching. I don't care.

Why would I worry my ass off about the government wiretapping me?

I'm not committing any danger to my country. I don't sell drugs. I don't have thoughts of blowing up a property, a gathering or an elected leader. I don't run around screaming fire in a movie theater. I don't own firearms to inspire a war against my fellow Americans.

This individual and many like him are not really beneficial to the cause.

If I had a job like this guy or Manning, I would respect it.

I guess me being a Black man working at a low level service job isn't so meaningful. I mean a White man who has no education manages to get a contractors job at the CIA. A job that requires absolute secrecy and a possibility of putting yourself in dangerous situations.

The American junk food media (both left and right) can stomp on the American flag and scream at the top of their lungs about the "evils" of President Barack Obama and the Republicans. It's they're lives.

Yeah, I do worry about overreach. But when the economy is improving and the job market seems better than it was four years ago, I am guessing that the junk food media needs to find something else to bitch about.

Seriously, this is why it's best not to worry about this stuff. It's not going to change. Now the NSA, CIA and those in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are going to clamp down hard of social networking and talking to the press without permission.

Yeah, you have the freedom of speech to say, do, or act however you want. But once you enlist in the military, get elected to public office, or work in clandestine services, your freedom of speech is limited.

Your words can put a person's life in danger. This individual did some low level nonsense because of his silly support for that perennial Republican bigot and his son the elected Kentucky senator.

The Pauls are hypocrites anyways. They have no legislative accomplishments. They have no record of success other than winning a seat in Congress. They don't believe in privacy. They don't believe in protecting the rights of others. If there were a President Paul, he would continue the policies of President Barack Obama and his predecessors.
