Edward Snowden NSA - Guardian Reveals Identity Of Whistleblower Behind NSA Revelations

The Guardian published the identity of the whistleblower responsible for providing the paper with top-secret documents that revealed the National Security Agency's secret surveillance programs on Sunday. The paper wrote that it was revealing Edward Snowden's identity at his own request.

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.

The Guardian compared Snowden, a former CIA technical assistant and current employee of Booz Allen Hamilton, to Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. "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," Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill and Laura Poitras wrote.

Earlier on Sunday, Greenwald, who broke the bombshell story about the government's vast surveillance programs involving data collection from millions of Verizon customers, appeared on Sunday talk shows where he said the public should expect more revelations to come. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/09/edward-snowden-nsa-leak-guardian-whistleblower-nsa-revelations_n_3412245.html

The world needs these types - in fact - let's form the Whistleblowers Awards, and 'reward' these 'hero's', for what they are doing is for the "good" of the people, the government/s are doimg the total opposite - they're are the enemy to the ordinary public!

WANT TO START CHANGING ALL THESE WRONG AND MISGUIDED PEOPLE - EMAIL AND PASS ALONG.

An Open Letter to Elizabeth O’Bagy

Dear, Dear Elizabeth:                                                                

We certainly see your efforts on behalf of the so called revolution in Syria and especially your photo with Mr. McCain and those other Arab looking men; all of you appearing well pleased with yourselves. And then just a few days later the tide is turned and those terrible Syrian’s aided by their Lebanese neighbors started cleaning out the ‘Rat Nests’ as they aptly named them. 

All that effort from you and your groups, and as well all that Money (Taxpayers) for naught. Even Mr. McCain is worried that your Friends are going to be slaughtered. What exactly did you people promise those men in those meetings and who in god’s name authorized you as a private American Citizen to Treaty on behalf of America. You have been in many top universities; however you appear to have been

Sleeping during the courses on US Code covering Treason and Trading with the Enemy.

Elizabeth you are in fine company as Mr. McCain has a lot of experience with enemies of America, some gained while he broadcasted from North Viet Nam radio during his visit there as a so-called POW. We used to call him Cain as in the bible. We want to ask you a few questions from a neutral standpoint. Has any Syrian ever accosted you on the street, broken into your house or even threatened to do so or brought any personal or economic harm to you or any immediate member of your family, or has any Iranian done any of these things. If the answer is yes then we can sort of understand you undying quest to route out Syrian people using Non Syrian people, sort an Irish mindset, Right. Oh yes, of course you didn’t know that those men are all wanted for various offenses by many countries to include our good old USA. In fact, they are proven Habitual Kidnappers, Rapists, etc. (What if they had decided to have their wicked way with you and or Mr. McCain); any American aiding and abetting them and their cohorts would be equally guilty under the Law. Nowadays, in America, ignorance is no longer a defense!

 

There is the distinct possibility of a Citizens Grand Jury calling upon you to answer some of these points; we do not know what your defense could possibly be as the joyful Photos speak reams. Of course if they are all slaughtered (eliminated) as Mr. McCain fears, then all would perhaps be forgotten; something to pray for or perhaps you still believe that the public is not aware of this too costly folly.

LOVELY DESIGN - YOUR NEW HOME AND OFFICE

We are Legion

Comment by Elyag Reed...We are Legion on June 10, 2013 at 12:26pm

THIS IS YOUR NEW OFFICE AND HOME!!!

Budget cost 2 Billion and still counting from your Taxes?
Welcome to Utah. Bet you never considered moving here, but here’s the catch, you don’t
have to. The NSA has set it up so that your Whole Life will be right here and the computerized
You will be kept in a massive cold storage building to protect all you communications and in the
future with an as yet undisclosed program, your thoughts.

All of your emails, telephone, texts, scanned mail, banking and medical records are already here
or will be from their temporary storage facilities. Cell phone towers near you will check your verbal
discussions, when you get angry with the wife she or the neighbors won’t have to call the police, it
will be automatically relayed by the tower or a drone. If enough people protest about the drones, how
about the Stealth Drones and Robots to Disarm and Subdue you. Imagine the robots voice will most
likely be your own that they will have down or up loaded. You will be telling yourself to remain calm!
Now that makes sense of the statement ‘The only thing to fear is Fear Itself’. “Honey why are you
looking like that, what are you doing with your gun”. “It’s no use Betty we might as well be dead with
what I have just read, we’re trapped by own ignorance” “No Jack we must resist, Jack, Oh my god”.

Sound Crazy – Disturbed. Unless this is Blocked It’s all over folks; they alerted us to all of this in Hollywood movies so we would mentally accept it and as we type this and you read it – It’s in Utah or soon on its way.

If you do not start a Major Response to all of this then you might as well redesign your house interior
to match a government sterile office and think and type away with nice thoughts. Bad thoughts and it
will be window breaking time at 4:00 AM with black outfits tugging you out of bed or you could be like
our Jack and Betty. Maybe you’re the perfect citizen and they decide to make an example of you. They
send you a Blog and lead you into Disneyworld and well let’s not dwell on your fate in their Funnyland!

And now the big question WHY? The old adage knowledge is power was a ruse. Control of the Access
to the knowledge is Power – Think book burning but saving copies for Special People.

Yes Change Has Come and when the next Whistleblower states that the computer is now programmed
to communicate directly with you, don’t be surprised. It’s talking to Whitehouse resident – for sure. It was on maintenance when he didn’t get the video feed last week. It’s also playing with him! A new movie “IT LIVES”…

If you want to tear some of this down you have to expose all that you see that is Wrong – See next post

A Hero, but maybe he should have waited before defecting to China? Now DHS may try to implicate him in "spying", I hope NOT. Here's some info: http://freebeacon.com/nsa-leaker-surfaces-in-hong-kong/

Although we are NOT "enemies" with China at the moment, we have given them MFN status(Trade) and have been working with them since Nixon, and especially Clinton. Hopefully, we don't have an "extradition treaty" with China, or Mr. Snowden may end up in a bad situation. Or not, maybe he can get a job teaching English or something? Who knows?

Chinese is a very difficult language to learn to. I'm not sure I would have chosen China.

Watch, after a month, he will start to miss Hamburgers, fries and chocolate Milkshakes, Cokes, etc...Unless China has already got them?  Food for thought !!! Ha Ha Ha I crack my self up when I thought of it. 

China invented tons of things back when regular civilizations were ancient.

Join the "Club" ! I went public on US. Customs and Government corruption back in 1995 and still going strong, in between all the constant DEATH THREATS and going to prison, no work, no pension, no life, only radio shows and television and the hopes that some day we will ALL go before Congress and get some sort of Protection or money out of this for doing what is right. I can't wait to see this administration changed! See my web site: www.customscorruption.com , ALL WHISTLE-BLOWERS please feel free to contact me here or email: john.a.carman@gmail.com for help or assistance.(Tip,....Don't become a whistle-blower unless it has to happen or National security issues like in MY case. and save your MONEY to live off of or have another skill or trade to support yourself)

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest: neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. (Luke 8:17)

Comment by Dr. Goldstein on June 9, 2013 at 5:22pm

For the last 15-20++ years I have believed that all email, texts, phone calls, etc are recorded.

The USA makes no secret that it "has a right" to snoop on communications of every country in the world. Other NATO countries also monitor and record "signals intelligence" from all countries.

Here is the juicy part: Around 1999-2000 the USA pushed "intelligence sharing" agreements with lots of countries like my own: Canada

In short Canada(CSIS) monitors every communication in the USA.  The USA monitors all Canadian communications.  Then they swap out the data in real-time under the intel-sharing agreements. 

Peace to all from North Central BC.

Damn glad to see more and more patriots stepping up and speaking out.
we need this to support our side. It may be at a great cost though.
they might find Edward had committed suicide with his hands tied behind his back with multiple gun shots to the back of his head.
like other great people who speak the truth and the powers that be want silenced.
lets hope this "suicide" never happens if you know what I mean.
