How DID Snowden get such CLASSIFIED INFORMATION when he Barely got a GED??? And he’s so YOUNG.....something is VERY FISHY....VERY FISHY.
It’s in the first sentence: “an Obama-supporter”
Not difficult. Smart, passed background check, works for contractor.
And this is for everyone else: I don’t get this. Here we have a guy who is telling everyone what most people on FR thought for years but were told we’re all a bunch of nuts. Now, here we have a whistleblower confirming all this, and we people start thinking that he’s NOT beleiveable??
Here’s the real deal, America:
I live and work among the most left-wing in the New England Area. And since this story has come out, I have overheard in EVERY conversation. People ARE pissed - even the left-wingers, upper-echelon snobs, and your low-information voters. You see, all you need to understand is that common idiot out there has a smart phone in their hand.
Rather than ringing our hands and thinking the whole thing is the next conspiracy to justify our own fears, perhaps we should be taking the lead in tearing down this machine for our future. This is a GOLDEN opportunity for us to take this country back. from the conversations I’ve heard, The U.S. Government has lost the trust of the people.
Perhaps its time for us to deal with it, and not make any more excuses for not doing anything.
Sorry for my ranting. Now, I have to go to work and continue to pay taxes to this beast until we figure out an alternative.
Obama doesn’t have a first-class espionage team in Asia. A few years ago, the Pentagon was recruiting military spies on the journalismjobs.com Website. It claimed it was trying to hire reporters to write Features stories about Asia. As a fluke I emailed them and said I’m in Beijing right now. The next day they asked me to fill out some application. While I filled out the Application, I Google Searched the company and tracked it to the Asia-Pacific Command Website. When I sent email to recruiter that they had a foolish idea. Basically, the reporters would be hired to conduct on-the-record interviews with high-ranking PLA officers. I told them that these folks don’t even talk to Chinese reporters, and they certainly wouldn’t talk to an American reporter hired by the US Defense Department. I got an email from them 2 minutes later saying, “you’re not hired.” In another instance, some guy claiming to be a military intel guy said they wanted me to help them in Asia and gave some BS story that they already have guys working for them in the MSM in Asia. When I asked another military official about this recruitment. He laughed and said Obama’s so clueless nowadays. He reminded me I had no military background and that I don’t even know how to shoot a gun. He explained this guy was likely a fraud, and if not Obama’s a dumbass. He said that if the story might be true Military Intelligence really is an oxymoron.
Oh...I wonder..............

I know a LOT of techies without formal educations. And a lot with no FORMAL background in computing. Best database programmer I ever knew. . . .had his B.A. in English, his concentration was Elizabethan Poetry.
A LOT of the really serious coders don’t have formal credentials. . . .much to the chagrin of the HR Mandarins. . .
Another guy I know, only finally got his Bachelor’s at age 29. He was co-author of a major security software package, and has two O’Reilly books out. But he had problems finding a regular job, because he didn’t have the proper tickets (i.e. degree and certifications) punched. . .
IT hires tend to be in their early to mid-20s. Getting clearance takes maybe a year. You can find 20-somethings in IT.
But the fact that he is in China, when his identity is revealed, suggests that they were helping him or his employers. The release was planned, and he had an escape route to somewhere that he couldn’t be arrested.
We wonder, if Joseph Snowden is his real name ?
