NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the source behind the Guardian's NSA files, talks to Glenn Greenwald about his motives for the biggest intelligence leak in a generation.

The 29-year-old is a former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.

The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. “I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,” he said.

Snowden will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world’s most secretive organisations – the NSA.

      You’re absolutely right. I still am. The price you pay for serving with a clearance along with others. The people will never overstand a minority of people who looks like me and you puppets other people based on their hidden agenda and lifestyle. Now will I share information? No. The information is in your face 24/7 but “the senses choose to ignore” so therefore each generation goes about even more ignorant.

      @QWE RTY He has never given secrets to Russia. He’s residing in Russia because the US withdrew his passport on his way to Ecuador. He was flying via Moscow to avoid airspace where the plane could be diverted to arrest him. I imagine there is a PR benefit to Russia having him reside there, but that is on the US gov’t.

      @MsP I believe you and am very sorry (for what little that’s worth) you are victim of this torture. I am aware of the gang stalking/targeted individual phenomenon. I’m also familiar with the patent on remote neural monitoring technology. But, as I’m sure you know, a patent doesn’t necessarily mean that the patented tech exists. That’s not to suggest that I believe it does not exist. I’m sure it does; I just would like to have evidence beyond a patent. The only hard evidence I’m aware of in this vein is the official US government documents regarding the use of voice-to-skull tech on Iraqi soldiers during the war.
      But on the topic of remote neural monitoring specifically, or remotely reading of thoughts and emotions, I have seen no hard evidence.

      And for that, and other reasons I will not pay taxes. When I see some real justice, like Trump in jail and the thousand people on Jeff Epstein’s list in jail, then I will pay taxes. That’s a deal and promise I will keep with the IRS. But filing tax returns is not needed, the IRS and the AI they use to have Big brother spy on us makes it so they already know how much we all made, filing a return is a thing of the last century. And filing a return constitutes a double jeapardy.

      All government is Mafia. Larken rose’ video “Jones Plantation” makes this crystal clear .. worth a watch on YouTube and his audiobook on SoundCloud called “the most dangerous superstition” paints the picture as well as what self-rule really means. Worth a listen. For the student of liberty his video “the philosophy of Liberty” is crucial at this turning point in society as well as his course “candles in the dark”.
      There are more who have seen the decline in liberty than the main stream media would like to show you (since the media likes to create the illusion that those protesting since 2019 in Hong Kong for liberty and more recently around the world against tyranny including lockdowns and digital tyranny are not the enemy, but the allied forces for “the goodness of humanity” to prevail. )
      Wishing all reading this happiness, knowledge that they are safe and protected, and that they are free since birth (irrespective of what that birth certificate claims)
