Chinese Balloon

Not too worried about "barroon." However, I believe that a key characteristic of democracy is transparency in government. When that lack of transparency hides the government's means, methods, and deliberate strategy of spying on its own citizens, that's a problem. When secret courts and watchlists effectively remove citizen's due process, that's a problem. When the .gov wantonly violates the Constitution and the BOR, that's a problem. When .gov officials turn a blind eye to internal complaints so the whistle-blower has no choice but to go public, that's a problem. If that whistle-blower chooses life instead of a post-facto Seth Rich type situation, that's almost to be expected. If some of Uncle's toys and plans get disrupted in the process, that's too bad. Should have maintained transparency and trust in the first place. Kind of a "fruit from the poisoned tree" type scenario IMO.

I looked in the mirror, and sadly, I'm still bald and unattractive. But I'm thankful I dont see whatever you do when you look in the mirror.

He didn't run because of what he told the US public about NSA spying. He ran because of what he stole and ran off with that had to do with foreign intel. IMO that is treasonous... That is my problem with it. And why I think he is scum.

As much as I do not like many of the people running out country. Its still our country. And running off to RUSSIA with that shit... Na that's some bullshit. USA over the others... even thought we are not perfect... What he did was a fuck you to all of US.

What he did and the way he did it makes a bit more sense when viewed through the context of what happened to William Binney and others.

My argument is he could have done it will out stealing what he did.

Had he not done that my opinion would be other. I think his release of that was calculated to do exactly what it did. Cause more problems.

Personally, I always assumed anything digital is not secure. I didn’t need snow dick to tell me.

Third headed over from Bangor. Put R135 in type code filter (pull out menu on right) to see all in the air. Very strange tracks for the two around TX/OK at this hour. Wonder if the Bangor plane is being ferried to pick 7p next shift?

It wasn't just some of Uncle's toys, unless you consider people toys. People died because of some of the information released. They were literally hunted down and killed. You may not have known that. One of those deals where someone is just smart enough to do something but not smart enough to do it right.

The military jammed the antennas. They did a briefing on it I posted a few pages back. Fucking idiot.

This all reminds of that South Park episode where the US Government wanted people to believe that they were responsible for 9/11 because otherwise people would think they were incompetent.
