Been watching as much vids as possible and I can't get away from the story it is that interesting. Been up all night hell even called in sick just watch and read more about this issue. This is all complicated yet very interesting stuff. Snowden reminds me of the real life character Matt Damon played as Mark Whitacre in "The Informant" who also served jail time for whistleblowing. I never saw it in the way you explained it to me and because of this I agree with you a hundred percent.
That is good DC, but first of all, don't miss anymore work, you aren't helping anybody if you are unemployed ! LOL But seriously though, I do agree that it is very interesting, and the more you know from watching the videos and reading the articles, the smarter you will become regarding the core issues, and the more you will see the big picture. But you are off to a good start, keep to up !
So shouldn't the NSA be convicted of unconstitutional crimes instead of Snowden?
Yes, really, at least the Head of the NSA, who lied to Congress under oath, should probably face criminal charges and be fired, but that won't happen. You need to
watch at least the last 2 videos in post #119 to understand who and what the NSA is, and the type of people you are talking about. Watch those video, and you will begin to understand why Edward was so scared of them, that he was willing to face possible jail time or death to expose what they are doing, in secret, behind closed doors.
You have to ask yourself, why would someone making good money, with a hot girlfriend, living in Hawaii, give that all up ? Why not just take your money, and go along with the program like everybody else? The reason is because he knew that because of the types of things the the NSA were/are doing, nobody was safe, not even him.
Do you believe Snowden can defeat the system and be granted a fair pardon?
I think it's possible. If the government can't catch him soon to make an example out of him, or discredit him and destroy his character thru mainstream media, as they are currently attempting to do. Then, rather than make him into a martyr, or some sort of living legend, the government would possibly pardon him to make themselves look better, and try to restore some level of credibility and decency to their tarnished image.
What does this all say about the American Constitution (right to privacy and such)? Should it be rewritten?
The Constitution should definitely not be rewritten or modified to, in anyway, lessen our human rights (especially the 2nd and 4th Amendments). It is all the people have to protect themselves against complete tyranny and genocide. The Constitution exists solely for the protection of the common people. To the global elite, who run the shadow government, and the electoral government, the Constitution is merely a hinderance, an obstacle to them gaining total control of human populations, and they will do whatever they can to destroy it.
Go to post #117, to see what some concerned citizens in Congress are trying to do to restore and protect our crucial 4th Amendment rights.
"The worst is yet to come" what do you think this message means for America?
I think it's a warning of what can happen if people don't continue to work tirelessly to protect themselves from tyranny. The global elite has a plan for you, and your children, and your children's children, and that plan is to create an ever-increasing system of world domination and slavery for all mankind. That is what the Bilderberg Group is all about, that is what the Illuminati is all about.
But their plan has not yet come to fruition, and there is still much hope, and many good things in the world as well. Knowledge is the key. The more people that are awakened to an understanding of what is going on, and what is at stake, then the better all of our chances, in the long-run, of survival as free human beings, and not slaves. That is why the actions of individuals like Edward, against the NSA's illegal activities, are so crucial. Exposing their secret illegal agenda is the key to stopping them, and protecting the freedoms of Americans, and all mankind.
