A patriot does not send classified information to russia and china. Yes the NSA wrong to spy on Americans, but there were other ways to deal with it other than harming our security.
He claims he was not covered by whistleblower laws so he could not go to congress, so instead he leaks it to the world. How did leaking to the world provide him any protection.
He needs to be arrested, tried and executed as a trader.
The Snowden affair is a reminder that in some cases, there ARE NO “good guys”.
There is nothing illegal about trading.
I disagree. In the end, only God will judge us.
Everyone of us... If faced with such things have... We do it to the best of our judgments.
And, if you know much about the Obama Presidency, it was the one that came down the harshest at whistleblowers.
Which is typical. Often the people who bleat the hardest about justice, truth and the American way.
Are the people that care the least about it.
Nay. Mock it...
What should happen to everyone who participated in violating the Constitution and allowing an ineligible usurper to take office and turn the entire government against the citizens?
He exposed criminals illegally spying on US people at home, and lying about it to congress. They were doing nothing less than building the infrastructure of a turn key police state.
He had zero chance of being a whistleblower. He saw precisely what happened when William Binney tried that just a few years before. Binney went to the DOD IGs office to report wrongdoing. He also went to the House intelligence committee.
This resulted in being raided by a dozen FBI agents at gunpoint who yanked him out of the shower. The same raid was launched against two co-workers who went to the IG with him. A staffer for the House intelligence committee was also raided.
His security clearance was revoked, and he lost the ability to work in his field. Snowden saw exactly what happened to whistleblowers who follow the prescribed route. So he wisely found another route to expose America’s budding Stasi.
“He needs to be arrested, tried and executed as a trader.”
The ones who need to be tried and executed are the ones who created a domestic surveillance and spy network outside the law and lied to Congress about it...on TV.
No matter how you dance around it, widespread, pervasive, all-encompassing spying on your own people is the mark of places like Red China, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and the USSR. It has no place in America.
“A patriot does not send classified information to russia and china.”
And still to this day this is “alleged” and never proven. Claimed by the very same government who absolutely lied and said that they would never commit the crime of spying on every law abiding person in the world.
But this government would never lie about Snowden to cover and distract from their own criminal actions right? They got busted so they had to invent someway to accuse the accuser to make their own crimes appear the lesser in comparison.
And because we all know there is a terrorist under every bed and in every closet like they told us we took the bait hook line and sinker. We were played like a fiddle.
