Published on 23 Jan 2014


Whistleblower Edward Snowden is reportedly set to request additional protection
from Russian authorities after receiving a growing number of death threats. The
former NSA contractor has been living at an undisclosed location in Russia since
August when he received asylum from Washington's prosecution. RT's Marina
Portnaya reports.

I fear that this hero has his days numbered.. There is no place on the planet for him to hide or safe to live.
If i had been in this scenario :
The best way to stay safe is having full cover from medias 24/7 with reporters side by side with him. All personal must be identified and only russians staff is allowed. Also spread the notice if anything happen to him something very delicate about security issue will be revealed by someone very close and somewhere in the planet.
Sorry.. this is my paranoic brain again.
I hope the best luck for him..

Don't suppose the criminal cabal pulling the strings in the USedtobeusA would dare do a drone strike in Russia???

As opposed to what???

No ... oh no ... they don't have the means to fight back ...

I just hope the NSA wasn't helping the gov educate some kind of supercomputer AI through the snooping,
and when it gets cut off from humanity, it will throw a tantrum lol

Like Skynet with a crack addiction!!

Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden has said he
has "no chance" of a fair trial in the US and has no plans to return there.

He said that the 100-year-old law under which he has been charged "forbids a
public interest defence".

"There's no no way I can come home and make my case to a jury," he said in an
online Q&A.

Attorney General Eric Holder (17 January) US Attorney General Eric Holder insists
that Mr Snowden must accept responsibility for leaking government secrets

"Returning to the US, I think, is the best resolution for the government, the public,
and myself, but it's unfortunately not possible in the face of current whistleblower
protection laws, which, through a failure in law, did not cover national security
contractors like myself," he told the "Free Snowden" website.

"Maybe when Congress comes together to end the programs... They'll reform the
Whistleblower Protection Act, and we'll see a mechanism for all Americans, no
matter who they work for, to get a fair trial."

Profile: Edward Snowden

In December Mr Snowden delivered an "alternative" Christmas message to Britain's
Channel 4 TV, in which he called for an end to mass surveillance.

Earlier on Thursday an independent US privacy watchdog ruled that the bulk
collection of phone call data by US intelligence agencies is illegal and has had
only "minimal" benefits in preventing terrorism.

The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board advised by a 3-2 majority that the
programme should end.

The report from the PCLOB is the latest of several reviews of the NSA's mass
surveillance programme, the details of which caused widespread anger after they
were leaked by Mr Snowden.

In a separate development on Thursday, US Attorney General Eric Holder told told
MSNBC television that he was unlikely to consider clemency for Mr Snowden.

Mr Holder said that the US authorities "would engage in conversation" about a
resolution of the case if Mr Snowden accepted responsibility for leaking government
secrets.

But he said granting clemency "would be going too far".

Russia to extend Snowden's asylum beyond August

QAweuLjKThE

Published on 24 Jan 2014


Over half a year after he leaked 1.7 million classified National Security Agency
documents to the world, Edward Snowden took to the internet for the second time
ever on Thursday to answer questions from the public. The former NSA contractor
talked about where President Barack Obama's NSA reform speech fell short,
addressed the threats on his life and defended his decision to flee the US. On
Friday, Alexei Pushkov, head of the foreign affairs committee of Russia's lower
house of parliament, said that Russia would extend Snowden's asylum beyond the
end of his one-year temporary grant that ends in August. Glasgow University
students are campaigning to get the whistleblower elected as rector of the Scottish
school. RT correspondent Meghan Lopez brings us a wrap-up of the latest Snowden
news.

[GreenGuy]

The cabal that pulls the strings in this country right now will snuff him out in a second, if they get their hands on him. Maybe they'll let him live long enough to think they aren't gonna do that. But if he comes back to this country, he's toast. He has a lot in common with Salman Rushdie, come to think of it.

Is this not another throw the dog a bone scenario? I personally think that SNOWDON is a big distraction. everything he has said is old news, and he has revealed absolutely nothing new, a plant, a sideline, part of the MSM bull****.

My opinion personally, but, compare the Bible to the 9/11 Official report?
Any questions come to mind?

Maybe, the big trick is merge this reaction on people... "Snowden is a big distraction. everything he has said is old news, and he has revealed absolutely nothing new, etc..." (sorry to take your thoughts as example, but was easier and fresh to catch).
I think that they are trying to isolate him and take off all the media projection over him, so he will be more vulnerable to vanish someday and sooner than we can realize.
I hope to be wrong.. he needs all attention on. that is the only way to keep alive and he knows. His life is in the russian authorities hands l

Should something happen to him physically, everyone will know "it was the US", even if they weren't.
So physically, it's "playable" for all sides.
But it's not about Snowden the skeleton, flesh, bones, etc. He knows that.
What he's done is unstoppable.

[anonymous]

my privacy standards have changed - 5/10/16 - apologies for the many edits of public comments

[Cidersomerset]

interesting comments, Snowden has not actually released much direct
to the public apart from a few interviews from Russia. He gave it to
the press to publish or not as they feel fit, and so far only a fraction
has been used to expose this bulk data gathering and its potential
for miss use in the cyber age.

Espionage will continue as it always ever has done, and the cat &
mouse game of spy and counter spy will probably step up behind
the scenes. None of this will be a surprise to them and some are
probably chuckling at GCHQ & Langleys expense. But with the
technology comes responsibilities and Edward Snowden has
done a great job in at least confirming 'Big Bros/Sister' is here
and 1984 has been with us for many years....

Continue reading the main story
US spy leaksHow intelligence is gathered
NSA secrets failure
'Five eyes' club
US revelations

Revelations about the US National Security Agency's spying have provoked global
outrage. But government snooping is nothing new.

Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote in his famous treatise The Art of War: "Enlightened
rulers and good generals who are able to obtain intelligent agents as spies are certain
for great achievements."

Purloined letters, intercepted communications, official eavesdropping - here are some
examples of spying over the ages, by enlightened rulers and not-so-enlightened ones.

Caesar's spies

In Ancient Rome, major political players had their own surveillance networks, which
provided them with information about the schemes of those in power. A 16th Century
engraving of the murder of Julius Caesar. An extensive spy network couldn't save Julius
Caesar Politician and orator Cicero frequently lamented that his letters were being
intercepted.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/70814000/jpg/_70814144_8e7338a1-14cb-4781-9ee0-d052ecd7001b.jpg

"I cannot find a faithful message-bearer," he wrote to his friend, the scholar
Atticus. "How few are they who are able to carry a rather weighty letter without
lightening it by reading."

Julius Caesar put together an elaborate spy network to keep himself apprised of the
various plots against him. In fact, Caesar may have known about the Senate-led
conspiracy that culminated in his assassination.

Even the best spy network sometimes cannot stop a dagger.

In the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church was more powerful than most
governments - and it had a powerful surveillance network to match.

French Bishop Bernard Gui was a noted author and one of the leading architects of the
Inquisition in the late 13th and early 14th Centuries. For 15 years, he served as head
inquisitor of Toulouse, where he convicted more than 900 individuals of heresy.

A noted author and historian, Gui was best known for the Conduct of the Inquisition into
Heretical Depravity, written in 1323-24, in which he outlined the means for identifying,
interrogating and punishing heretics.

Henry Stimson

US Secretary of State

The court of Elizabeth I was fertile ground for scheming and spies, and Francis
Walsingham's job was to keep the monarch one step ahead of her adversaries.

In May 1582, Walsingham intercepted letters written by Spanish ambassador to
England, Bernardino de Mendoza, regarding a conspiracy to invade England and install
Mary, Queen of Scots to the throne.

While Mary was confined to Chartley Manor, Walsingham came up with a way to prove
she was a threat to the queen. He had most of her mail opened, but led her to believe
that she had a secret means of correspondence through letters hidden in a beer keg.
Walsingham gathered evidence of Mary's involvement in rebellious plots. She was put
on trial for treason and beheaded.

Robespierre's watchmen

Mary learned the hard way that what you think the government is reading is not as
essential as what you think the government isn't reading.

Diplomats pose for a photograph around the negotiating table following the ratification
of the Four Power Pacific Treaty US cryptographers intercepted diplomatic
communications at a 1922 conference

During the French Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre and his cohort watched the
population with a careful eye and ruthlessly cracked down on internal dissent.
In 1793, the revolutionary government established 12-member "committees of
surveillance" throughout the country. They were authorised to identify, monitor and
arrest any suspicious former nobles, foreigners, nationals who had recently returned
from abroad, suspended public officials and many more.

Historians estimate that as many as half a million people were targeted by the
surveillance committees, which were particularly ruthless in smaller French towns.

When neighbours have the power to spy, the results can be tragic.

In the 18th and 19th Centuries, governments undertook surveillance with bureaucratic
gusto. Across Europe, they established departments called "black chambers" (from the
French, cabinet noir) to read the letters of targeted individuals.

The bureaux, usually located in post office buildings, employed a variety of techniques
to surreptitiously open, copy and reseal correspondence, then forward the missives on
to the unsuspecting recipients.

The practice embroiled the British government in scandal in 1844 when it was revealed
that the London black chamber was secretly reading the mail of exiled Italian author
and activist Giusseppe Mazzini.

Many in the British public were outraged that their government had passed information
to the Neapolitans, who used it to execute Mazzini's fellow revolutionaries.

In Europe, the industrial revolution was also a revolution in spycraft.

Negotiating with espionage

In 1922, the United States hosted a naval disarmament conference in Washington,
where it oversaw talks among nine nations, including United Kingdom, France, Italy and Japan.

German employees sort through the files of the Stasi intelligence agency The
intelligence agency Stasi kept files on 10 million East Germans

It also spied on the Japanese and other negotiating teams, intercepting and decrypting
communications between delegations and their home countries.

Thanks in part to inside knowledge about negotiation positions provided by the US
Cipher Bureau, the government cryptography office founded A world history of
government spyingin 1919, the US was able to successfully broker several multinational
treaties and agreements that headed off a naval arms race.

In 1929, the Cypher Bureau was shut down by Secretary of State Henry Stimson, who
said: "Gentlemen don't read each other's mail."

After World War Two, the Americans decided gentlemen need a permanent surveillance network.

Behind the Cold War's Iron Curtain, surveillance of the population was an everyday part
of life. Nowhere was this more prevalent than in East Germany, where for nearly 40
years the Stasi intelligence service monitored and reported on the activities of its
citizens, using the information to stifle unrest.

By the time the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the Stasi had grown to more than 91,000
officers, with an active informer network of close to 200,000.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/70814000/jpg/_70814146_33bc142b-b167-4e24-a589-a7e9a9ec37e2.jpg

The East German surveillance state used modern technology and massive manpower to
expand government spying on a previously unimaginable scale.

The United States entered the surveillance business in earnest following World War Two,
when it began collecting and monitoring all telegraph information coming into and out of
the country as part of Project Shamrock. It also created a "watch list" of US citizens
suspected of "subversive" activities whose communications it kept tabs on as part of
Project Minaret.

The operation was taken over by the newly formed National Security Agency (NSA),
which co-operated with the FBI and CIA. Both programmes were shut down after an
investigation by the US Congress in 1975.

Thirty-eight years later, the NSA has rebuilt Project Shamrock using the technology of
the information age.

And the rest, as they say, is history...

tactics President Obama has nominated James Comey to lead the FBI. He is a

MENWITH HILL: NSA's Spy Center in the UK - 2012 Report

RfHRABGWl1w


Published on 10 Jun 2013


From March of 2012:

America's largest eavesdropping centre in Britain, Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire,
is being expanded in a multimillion-pound programme as it becomes increasingly
vital to US intelligence and military operations, according to a study of the
controversial base released on Thursday.

The base, which plays a key role in the global network of the National Security
Agency (NSA), GCHQ's American partner, now includes 33 radomes -- commonly
called "golf balls" after the white sheeting protecting the satellite receiving and
transmission stations -- and is undergoing a big construction programme.

The study describes the programme, called Project Phoenix, as "one of the largest
and most sophisticated high technology programmes carried out anywhere in the
UK over the last 10 years". Work on it has been reserved for US-based arms
corporations including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, and their
personnel with high-level security clearance, it notes.

Though the base is officially called RAF Menwith Hill, most of the staff there are US
employees of the NSA. The total number of people working there is due to increase

from 1,800 last year (of whom 400 were British) to 2,500 in 2015.

The costs to Britain of servicing Menwith Hill, like other American bases in Britain,
are confidential under cost-sharing arrangements between the UK and the US. The
total cost of the equipment at the base, and running it, is classified.

However, official figures released in the US show that this year the NSA is spending
$68m (£43m) just on a generator plant to provide power for new supercomputers
at the base.Computers at the base are capable of carrying out 2m intercepts an
hour, according to the Federation of American Scientists, an independent US body.
The report on the base was commissioned by the Yorkshire Campaign for Nuclear
Disaarmament (CND) and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. It said
the base was being expanded "to provide qualitatively new capabilities for
intelligence-led warfare".

Menwith Hill will combine its traditional role of eavesdropping on communications
and missile tests to "co-ordinate real-time military operations such as covert
warfare, using a variety of intelligence sources".

Satellite communications and imagery and supercomputers at the base "can
provide real-time surveillance to support US military operations", according to the
new study. It said Menwith Hill would be "fully operational as an upgraded, active
intelligence hub by 2015".

Steve Schofield, the study's author, said: "It is no longer possible to think of
Menwith Hill as simply carrying out traditional military, diplomatic and commercial
electronic spying for the United States, but rather to recognise its role as an active
provider of integrated intelligence to support new forms of warfare."

He added: "This paradigm shift towards permanent surveillance from space and
real-time military interventions anywhere in the world through remotely-controlled
weapons raises profound questions about the western way of war but questions
that are, as yet, barely being addressed."

The RAF describes Menwith Hill's primary mission as providing "intelligence support
for UK, US and allied interests". Satellite communications also provide data for the
US missile defence system, the RAF says.

It would be "inappropriate to go into any detail about operations carried out at RAF
Menwith Hill in support of national security", it says.

"Public and parliamentary scrutiny of RAF Menwith Hill is provided through clear
lines of ministerial responsibility and by the intelligence and security committee
(ISC)."

I have a scary line of thought…

So, the 'illuminati' or whoever are being exposed, and weakening, but also in a crucial spot, and throwing all their resources towards a 'COO'.

This is done by first, leaking various data (edward snowden ) from the data source ( nsa ).

This is presented as a problem, but it is really to build credibility that they are listening, and do have this recorded.

Next step is that people finally want to know, about the corruptness, especially politicians, etc.

Look at 'The Daily Show', 1/22/14. Goes into scandals, including officials. Many times during these scandals, e-mails and text messages become public. Sometimes they are not even the least bit secret, in fact very direct. This seems suspicious. Perhaps they have become comfortable and careless, desensitized, or perhaps it is BS.

The NSA is in a position to 'leak' mass e-mails, and text messages, etc, implicating whoever they want, for whatever they want, and the data would be took as 'proof'.

So, they purposefully leak fake data about certain people (officials, politicians, etc.) to get the public mad, and demand change. They will be waiting to 'fix this' and swoop in, putting new people in, to replace the 'corrupt.' These 'new' people present themselves as 'for the people, for justice' but this will actually be a COO, for the dark forces to eliminate the rest of the light, by way of emitting false information to the general public, and letting the general public do the work for them!

How is that for a how do you do!

How do you like them apples!

I DON'T!!!!!!

All scenarios are possibles.. we are living the techno-infomation (or misinformation) madnes...
Do you really want to know what i even thought?
Scary.... Just imagine a picture like that:
Why not, spreading some facts about some security issues and politic leaks and let the dumb people swallow facts through the media? yeah, let them discuss because they don't known whats going on in their neighbourhood. in the other hand, there are some people informed that are discussing these issues in some foruns that "we can collect informations to add to our database".. We can learn with them..
Do you remember the america's army? the online video game?

"America's Army (also known as AA or America's Army Game Project) is the name of a computer/video game franchise and other media developed by the United States Army and released as a global public relations initiative to help with recruitment. America's Army was conceived by Colonel Casey Wardynski when he was at the U.S. Army's Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis at the United States Military Academy.Wardynski envisioned "using computer game technology to provide the public a virtual Soldier experience that was engaging, informative and entertaining."

The PC version 1.0, subtitled Recon, was first released on July 4, 2002. As of January 2014, there have been over 41 versions and updates released, including updates to America's Army: Proving Grounds which was released in August 2013. All versions have been developed on the Unreal Engine. The game is financed by the U.S. government and distributed by free download."

America's Army has "grown in ways its originators couldn't have imagined". Dozens of government training and simulation applications using the America's Army platform have been developed to train and educate U.S. Army soldiers. America's Army has also been used to deliver virtual soldiering experiences to participants at events, such as air shows, amusement parks, and sporting events around the country. The America's Army series has also been expanded to include versions for Xbox and Xbox 360, arcade, and mobile applications published through licensing arrangements."

So, why not to have the world on your own laboratory instead to have some statistics from the dumb and manipulated media?
