Edward Snowden: Hero or traitor? You Decide-

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Edward Snowden:  Hero or traitor? Let's sort out some terms right off the bat so we know what is bullshit and what is not.

Traitor - a person who commits treason by betraying his or her country. 
 
Treason - The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
 
So Snowden is neither a traitor nor has he committed treason.  People throwing around such terms either have no access to a dictionary or they have some agenda that they are trying to sell you.
 
I said when this story broke that I did not have enough information to know if he was a good guy or a bad guy.  I am still on the fence and I, like you, am watching this develop.
 
Here is something to mull over:
If a passerby notices your home is on fire at 3 a.m. and breaks down your front door to enter and wake you up should he then be charged with burglary or vandalism for his efforts to alert you to the danger?
 
This issue really is NOT about Snowden, it is about our government being out of control and snooping into all of our lives and greatly overstepping their authority. 
 
Of the 50 acts of terrorism that have supposedly been stopped by government surveillance only sketchy details on one (perhaps 2) have been provided.  Where is the information on the other 48?  (if there is actually another 48)
 
I have made no decision on Snowden, except that he is no traitor.

I guess people don't understand the difference between a "Whistle-blower" and a "spy"? I grew up in the 50's during the COLD WAR.(Look it up!)

Spys vs. Whistle-blowers 101

Spys don't talk !

Whistle-blowers talk and expose corruption ! Get it!!??(Repeat if necessary over and over again)

Now go and watch Serpico !!! (1974) about Frank Serpcio.

Then watch a movie about Robert Hansen the FBI agent who was a REAL "SPY". (Life sentence)

If you still don't "get it", call me and I will explain further. 

See my web site: www.customscorruption.com (I am a whistle-blower) I reported corruption in OUR government !!!

By the strictest definition Snowden is a traitor. He betrayed his country. The Physical territory of the US is no longer controlled by it's citizens. It has been usurped so the US is technically controlled by a criminal cabal called globalists and administered by very corrupt politicans. So the country in reality is represented by Monsanto, Pfizer, Google, big banks, military industrial complex and corrupt politicans like McCain, Pelosi, Reed etc. From the point of view that he betrayed these entities he is a traitor.

In my mind betraying a profoundly sick government does not constitute being a traitor, quite the contrary.

Snowden is a Patriot of the first order, our government is infested with traitors like rats in a garbage scow.   Face it people, the banks and elite OWN our government and most governments of the world.   Agenda 21 is not a new idea, the elite have always been lying to the masses, wanted wars to eliminate the 'excess population' and the internet is the biggest reason for their eventual fall, they can no longer hide information for years or even months and their house of cards is crumbling.

OBTW-I saw MC CAIN mouthing off about Putins KGB past- MC Cain has given way more info to our enemys than Snowden could ever give--that man sits only a step above benedict arnold in my book-hope Putin comes back and kicks his ass and straighens his lying jaw out-

Comment by ted dura on June 25, 2013 at 8:08pm

thats the truth brother--now we find out flight 800 was shot down by our ships and the fbi was covering that up all these yrs--i want the sailor, the captain of the ship and a few dozen FBI to be tried and sentenced to death and if the fault was the system the manufacturer and his staff as well--its about time we cleaned house in this damn country-

Snowden is a WHISTLE-BLOWER ! get over it!

Why is it that some idiots out there want to label a guy a "Traitor" when the TOP ranking Leaders of this country are violating the Bill of Rights, Constitutional laws, ..etc...High  Crimes and Mis-demeanor's!!

I reported Corruption and suffered the retaliation and nothing was ever investigated.

The system is corrupt and no longer investigates allegations of corruption.

See my website: www.customscorruption.com 

Leave Snowden alone!!!

Next case !!!

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on June 23, 2013 at 4:53pm

I think this question has been turn on it's head assbackwards.

The government, in relation to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Traitor - a person who commits treason by betraying his or her country. 

 
Treason - The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
OR THE SALVES WANT TO BE SLAVES?
