I think this guy is an Obama operator.

"I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under."

"I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity."

And he then asks for asylum in Venezuela. Only Zimbabwe, Cuba, and North Korea are less free, according to Heritage. Obama loves Venezuela.

"I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end."

"There’s no saving me."

"The only thing I fear is the harmful effects on my family, who I won't be able to help any more. That's what keeps me up at night."

"I do not expect to see home again."

His actions (not including the actual "whistleblowing")and movements can hardly be considered heroic or selfless. Fears for his family? What family? He has no family of his own. His father was a coast guard officer who lives in Pennsylvania, his mother a federal court clerk in Maryland.

I think this whole thing may be an operation to accomplish this:

"The great fear (replace fear with desire) that I have regarding the outcome for America of these disclosures is that nothing will change. [People] won't be willing to take the risks necessary to stand up and fight to change things... And in the months ahead, the years ahead, it's only going to get worse. [The NSA will] say that... because of the crisis, the dangers that we face in the world, some new and unpredicted threat, we need more authority, we need more power, and there will be nothing the people can do at that point to oppose it. And it will be turnkey tyranny."
