What did Snowden mean when he said that they could get the “Triads” to take care of him?
Triad refers to the many branches of Chinese transnational organized crime organizations based in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and also in countries with significant Chinese populations, such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Siam (now Thailand), the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The term “Triad” was assumed to be coined by British authorities in colonial Hong Kong, as a reference to the triads’ use of triangular imagery. While never proven, it is “highly probable” that triad organizations either took after or were originally part of the revolutionary movement called the White Lotus Society.
I wondered that as well.

I get the impression he saw NSA literally acting like Jack Black in Enemy of the State and was just sick of it. We need more interviews with him.
