He's in the same league as Lee Harvey Oswald. Small man, big impact, somebody dies. Then comes Ruby.

He's no Che Guevara. Give him a gun and someone to shoot and then maybe he'll be a hero.

That's it...IMCT knows too much.

But where do the reverse vampires fit in? Are they surrogates for the Rosicrucians or a false flag for the Fifth (that's right, Fifth) Reich established ten miles below Paraguay?

I was referring to the future consequences of wrecking the so-called metadata program, consequences that will be attributed (perhaps rightly) to Mr. Snowden.Just out of curiosity, who has died?

But what if the consequences of his whistle-blowing means the next Hitler isn't born? That's why these kinds of speculations are pointless.darter wrote:I was referring to the future consequences of wrecking the so-called metadata program, consequences that will be attributed (perhaps rightly) to Mr. Snowden.Just out of curiosity, who has died?

Just to make sure:Your argument is absurd. You have no way of knowing what the future consequences are.
We are talking about the program that permits the NSA to learn when a phone call is made from a bomb-maker in Pakistan to a kid in Dayton, Ohio, right? And then the numbers that the kid calls are also recorded. And their calls. Not the conversations, the numbers. Three 'hops' have been recorded - but this will soon drop to two hops.
Anyway, if we are talking about the same survellance program, I believe the idea is that we are not required to know with certaintly that the data will lead to the kid and his possible confederates. It just increases our odds of locating the kid before he sets off a pressure cooker bomb. And, as a bonus, the bomb-maker gets martyrized by some guy in an Air Force trailer, so everybody wins!

Re: Let's All Call Edward Snowden A Hero Thread
We're also talking about the massive abuses occurring in the program, the incredible waste of the program, the inefficiencies and the lack of efficacy of the program. We're talking about the fact that that line of reasoning has been disputed countless times and that there is no proof, or indeed even likelihood that such a scenario will be the result of any leak of this sort. We can also talk about the fact most terrorist organizations and individuals already assumed the US was Satan, and that the real consequences of these leaks is that the US citizenry and other world governments are learning about things that the US fucking lied about baldfaced, in a blatant violation of both its own laws and any sense of international community. We can go on to talk about the fact that these sorts if behaviors by governments will never, ever stop unless there's enough blowback to make the operations a PR black eye. And I suppose then we can move on to talking about the fact that blaming a whistleblower for revealing massive illegal operations instead of the ones doing the massively illegal operations is a form of sickening moral decay.darter wrote:Just to make sure:Your argument is absurd.
