Tinfoil hat wonders if this is coming from Obama and his ilk. And if Snowden is one of his ilk.

Taking the US down would be almost easy if you were on the inside...

Snowden is protected by people far more powerful than Hillary and Soros. Keep watching.

It should be a warning to all that internet security does not exist.

Maybe the winning bidder is the NSA or CIA. Then this group has stolen something that could be used against the globalists and instead is just selling it back to them.

It is all about having secure, un-hackable communications with individuals that are not recorded on the White House visitors log. Total bypass of Federal Record Keeping laws.
