    “I used to work for the government, now I work for the public”
    “What does that mean”
    “I never realized there was a difference”
    That’s a powerful line

      @Qopa dummy, elections are rigged. maybe not necessarily the votes that is rigged but the science is certain. the most popular one always win. always. so the secret society just have to hijack the media and internet and make their preferred candidate to be popular and boom, they are voted.

You worked for a Contractor, and was assigned to the Government Intelligence Agency! Do not mis-lead your audience!! Problem here is…. you put your hands on a cookie jar! You knew you made a mistake! That’s why you fled!! DUH!! DUH!! DUH! Young and messy, hands and brain! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      @Emanuele G. Yes. He is the anti=Trump. Where Trump lies, he tells the truth, where Trump is a narcissist, he’s selfless, where Trump lives in his own dream world, Snowden is clear-eyed, he sees reality, where Trump is a con artist, Snowden is the real deal, where Trump is a coward, Snowden is braver than brave. So why isn’t Snowden president?

    He’s possibly THE most interesting person to listen to, for me personally. Not only due to the topic, but more so due to his amazing ability to instantly know why you asked the question, what you could be getting at and what you’re trying to learn from the answer. I’ve never communicated with anyone, in person, that could really hear me to that extent. Also, as someone else mentioned, his ability to put abstract and complicated thoughts into a 100% clear and communicable form is absolutely incredible. That’s what made me look for and watch all of his interviews I could find and be just as fascinated by the last one as I was by the first one.

      due! I thought no one noticed that , I was looking for this comment and half expected it doesnt exist!
      Exactly !!! he is so intelligent not just because what he did , or becuase he is an IT guy
      But how he corelated things and explained and then came to the conclusion , its like taking our hand and guiding us through it all
      but the way he answered the question to bring the true essence of it , it really was the essence of the video, this is what I have always expected from world leader or country leaders or parents or teachers, and I have ALWAYS been dissapoited
      Just look at the interviews of politicians how stupid their answers sound and then THIS GUY!
      How is he the on the run? urgh
