Were it not for Edward Snowden, the elected lawmaking body of the United States would not know about vast unconstitutional programs that were being run by the unelected government of the U.S.
I say this definitively as 1 of 535 elected lawmakers of the U.S. government.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Do you think he’s a traitor?
The unelected government keeps daring the elected government to do anything about it. So far, the elected government has not shown that it is able to - nor that it are anything more than a large theatrical troupe putting on a carefully scripted performance to mollify the inattentive.
Snowden is a "traitor" against traitors.
p
As concocted by a hate-filled Biden and endlessly visited on his opponent Trump,
the importance of “due process” in pursuing justice has been totally eliminated,
not considered by dimwit Biden to be an integral part of a “fair process.”
This travesty is being played out in the newest Texas/Paxton controversy....
smashing to smithereens the very foundational principles of the US justice system
<><> the “presumption of innocence until proven guilty,”
<><>”legal challenges,” not evidence of wrongdoing, prevail.
Resembles the Goebbels methodology......call it “Biden finds a crime.”
Hear, Hear!
Massie is right about that.
This is even more astonishing. Every air passenger who flew into
the DC area on or about J6 is being subjected to govt surveillance.
“On Fox News, Sonya LaBosco, Biden’s Director of the Air Marshals National Council said Air Marshals are surreptitously following Americans who flew into the DC area around Jan 6, 2021.
Vengeful Biden’s TSA has now ordered Air Marshals (who are DOT employes w/ no L/E duties):
<><>to follow J6 people who are not under any type of criminal investigation –
<><>they haven’t committed a crime,
<><>they have not been accused of wrongdoing,
<><>there is no evidence their J6 attendance was illegal,
<><>now years later Biden insists using govt power to secretly surveil them;
<><>Biden’s govt is spying on innocents citizens merely flying to DC around J6.
“The unelected government”
Does that include Biden?
I don’t know if he’s a hero. Might be pushing it.
But he is the textbook whistleblower.
And then those people who lied to the public, lied under oath (example Clapper), and the same folks that abused some of these powers for political gain (AG and Comey), go after Snowden full force. The liars, cheaters and backstabbers are lecturing us about integrity and loyalty.
I don’t want to judge Snowden harshly because the simple truth is that whistleblower protections and politics in the federal government are a joke, i.e. turn yourself in so we can fire you. These so called protections are all BS and only serve leadership to actually identify and suppress anyone that might want to blow the whistle. I do not know how else he could have accomplished what he did, so making some general statement that he should have handled it differently isn’t realistic.
<><>now years later Biden insists using govt power to secretly surveil them;
<><>Biden’s govt is spying on innocents citizens merely flying to DC around J6.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
brandon’s stasi.....or continuation of hussein’s stasi?
The traitors are the ones who promoted ‘russian collusion’, failed to charge anyone, ignore the reality of J6 and political imprisonment, and turn a blind eye to crooked elections to keep their seats.
I agree, Snowden is a hero and if the reptiles leading America get their hands on him Snowden is a dead man.
So true!
Yes.
Biden was not elected. Do you think gerrymandering is real or a conspiracy theory?
Games have been played with elections since, forever.
The difference is that today with an adjudication processes, mail in ballots, digital voting machines, live media reporting... You have many more ways where these games can get played.
When Bush and Trump won, then it was the Democrats crying about the election system and how it’s manipulated. Now that they have their boy in power their tone has changed. That simple.
But yes, Biden didn’t win.
Biden and his team have far more experience in running elections and they are better connected to those that make the rules. The Dems changed some of the rules because of Covid which favored their candidate heavily. Biden won by gaming the system.
If we want real elections, not this farce we have today where a bunch of politicians, bureaucrats and lawyers play a heavy hand in the outcome, the system needs simplified: ID, card stock vote in person at a polling station, finger print (run through data base to avoid multiple votes), signature and if fraud is committed prosecution.
He’s a a hero.
+1. And you are not wrong about reptiles.
Do people even understand what that means - unelected and unconstitutional?
Has the average person come to terms yet with the existence of such a thing?
What it boils down to is a choice: a comfortable slavery or a risky, potentially painful independence.
For me the discomfort of being controlled by someone else’s will vastly outweighs the pain of personal failure.
No.
Me.
Mine.
