Yes, I’m sure al qaida was salivating over our treasured secrets of hillary ordering people working at the UN to steal credit card numbers and get all the juicy gossip on who some dictator is sleeping with. But seriously, that info was so vital to national security that they let 20 year old army privates have access to it? Gee, what could possibly go wrong there?

Well there’s certainly much about the guy that should give all pause.....from the fact he’s failed to reveal anything not already known....to the drama of his video....and now the chase.

Many things just aren’t fitting in this “story”.....

I am still on the fence but leaning toward this may very well have been staged. He certainly isn’t the hero some are claiming. He needs to reveal the “more” claiming he has to convince me he knows something we are not already aware of and have known for years.

Good question. No one did after they groped us at the airports, I suspect no one will now, either.

Doesn’t need to reveal anything.

He’s a stock photo for Wired Magazine or a picture frame you buy at Macy’s.

Time will tell...but so far this just seems to be very much hype and a story the media is enjoying running with.

However, it has brought attention ..AGAIN...to the gathering of data and legalities of. As in the past.

Dear ATT

Thank you for making the switch from Verizon to you a very seamless effort and one for which I am very grateful. The salinas store rep, Hector, did all the leg and paperwork and in a matter of minutes, I was receiving calls on the new system from my old phone number which I was able to keep.

I hope the relationship will be a long one as I had Verizon over a decade and during that time spent thousands of dollars with them.

Like almost any personal or business relationship, trust is the glue that allows us to continue. I take at face value the statement from Hector that “I spoke to my manager and ATT is not at this time routinely handing over your call details, although we can’t guarantee that in the future.”

Fair enough, given that I now live in a police state. But if it is disclosed that you are currently handing over information on this new account, the 2 year agreement will have been based on fraud and subject to not only cancellation without penalty, but also actionable for damages.

Sincerely,

John Kaza

you’re aware that 20 yr olds handle top secret information every day... right?

of course, how he came into possession of 3 million such documents is a mystery (unless someone handed him a drive they wanted to have leaked... which is my guess)

20 year olds are great for delivering pizzas, sales clerking at stores and scoring weed. If you want to trust them with state secrets, knock yourself out but if you trust a kid that age with that kind of data you don't get line him up against a wall and shoot him. Save that for the fool who made the stupid mistake of giving him the clearance.

If the government says 20 year olds can't be trusted with beer, what hell business do they have trusting them with top secret files?

at 20, I was delivering / presenting systems I designed and created to generals at the pentagon for a large project during the Reagan/Bush years. I continued for a number of years designing various systems as needed for DoD and went back after 9-11

today’s adult children are not 100% of the populace, though their incompetence, lack of ambition and drive is very concerning and the direct result of progressive indoctrination via public education camps
