THE NAIVETE OF ED SNOWDEN

Let us assume that Ed Snowden is genuine.

After 9/11 he believed the lies of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld enough to sign up to go to Iraq and kill innocent Iraqis.

After working his way up to quite a powerful position in the IT side of intelligence, he had a Road to Damascus moment and decided that he must tell the world what he knew about NSA surveillance.

He ended up collaborating with Glenn Greenwald, who at the time was writing for The Guardian.

Now, I have written multiple times on this blog of my very strong suspicion of The Guardian, that it is the NATO media flag ship because of its appearance to be an intelligent, truthful, caring newspaper when there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. Perhaps the best example of this is the position that The Guardian took following the horrific incident of 21st August last year, when along with the rest of the NATO media, it immediately and consistently accused Assad of killing hundreds of his own civilians with chemical weapons without considering the rebels as the culprits despite an abundance of evidence that the rebels were indeed the culprits, in addition to the ecstasy that The Guardian showed upon the agreement that Syria would relinquish its chemical weapons while Israel's much more powerful, horrific and destructive arsenal of WMDs of all kinds was never mentioned.

The megaphone of Bilderberg, The Washington Post, has also laid claim to breaking The Snowden Revelations.

Well over a year after The Snowden Revelations broke, Greenwald boasts that he is still sitting on NSA bombshells while he finds time to sign lucrative contracts for himself.

And we can still read new revelations on the front pages of the NATO media while the same NATO media does not report on The Clark Revelations, that the wars in North Africa and The Middle East are a conspiracy using 9/11 as the pretext.

So on hearing the news that the UK is to rush through new spying laws, what is Snowden's reaction? Interviewed by The Guardian, Snowden said:

..."It defies belief."

"I mean the NSA could have written this draft," he said. "They passed it under the same sort of emergency justification. They said we would be at risk. They said companies will no longer cooperate with us. We're losing valuable intelligence that puts the nation at risk."

So American spying laws have been changed, but what was illegal is now legal and in some cases the spies have more power.

Now it is the same for the UK.
