Edward Snowden, Unplugged: The Elderly “Wouldn’t be Fucking Helpless If You Weren’t Sending Them Fucking Checks to Sit on their Ass and Lay in Hospitals all Day”

Excerpt­ing some of Snow­den’s 2009 online musings–crafted dur­ing the same time peri­od in which he decid­ed to leak NSA documents–gives us insight into his true nature. We’ve men­tioned Snow­den’s embrace of the gold stan­dard, belief that we should elim­i­nate Social Secu­ri­ty and deep affin­i­ty for Ron Paul. Per­haps exam­in­ing his actu­al pro­nounce­ments will prove edu­ca­tion­al. Snow­den [at right] is a nasty lit­tle fas­cist. Peo­ple should care­ful­ly con­sid­er the rest of his behav­ior in the con­text of his ide­o­log­i­cal state­ments.


FTR #769 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 12: Blitzkrieg on American Internet and Electronics Business

The con­cerns expressed in a recent San Jose Mer­cury News edi­to­r­i­al and echoed by Sil­i­con Val­ley CEO’s at a recent high tech con­fer­ence go to the thrust of the main part of what we feel is the pri­ma­ry goal of Snow­den’s mul­ti-lay­ered psy-op: to do to the Sil­i­con Val­ley and the U.S. elec­tron­ic busi­ness what the Ger­man and Japan­ese auto­mo­bile indus­try’s cap­ture of much of the U.S. mar­ket did to the city of Detroit. Ger­man chan­cel­lor Angela Merkel appears to be hold­ing U.S. high-tech com­pa­nies hostage to the BND’s inclu­sion in the “Five Eyes club,” con­sist­ing of the U.S., the U.K., Cana­da, Aus­tralia and New Zealand.


FTR #767 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 11: The Destabilization of the NSA and GCHQ

The activ­i­ties of Eddie the Friend­ly Spook make no sense in the con­text of civ­il lib­er­ties. They make a great deal of sense in terms of the desta­bi­liza­tion of the Oba­ma admin­is­tra­tion, the NSA and the GCHQ. Snow­den may have tak­en up to 1.7 mil­lion doc­u­ments, includ­ing infor­ma­tion that could per­mit a male­fac­tor to suc­cess­ful­ly evade NSA scruti­ny. Snow­den’s activ­i­ties may lead to nul­li­fi­ca­tion of the NSA plans to defend against cybert­er­ror­ism.


FTR #765 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 10: Shearing the Piglet (“They’re Shocked, Shocked!”)

Man­i­fest­ing con­sum­mate hypocrisy, the EU nations con­demn­ing the U.S. over the Snow­den mate­r­i­al do the same thing. Not only do the French and Ger­man intel­li­gence ser­vices do the same thing, they are increas­ing their inter­net and elec­tron­ic sur­veil­lance oper­a­tions. The EU is set­ting up its own intel­li­gence agency to do the same thing, in response to Snow­den’s “dis­clo­sures.” Dur­ing BND chief Ernst Uhrlau’s tenure, files on 250 BND exec­u­tives who had held sig­nif­i­cant intel­li­gence posi­tions in the SS and Gestapo were destroyed. BND had long recruit­ed from the rel­a­tives of BND offi­cers, per­mit­ting per­pet­u­a­tion of the method­ol­o­gy and ide­ol­o­gy from the Third Reich peri­od.


Update on Citizen Greenwald

We have cov­ered Glenn Green­wald’s years-long activ­i­ties on behalf of mur­der­ous neo-Nazis in the past. Green­wald is Eddie Snow­den’s leak­ing jour­nal­ist of choice. Snow­den’s Pres­i­den­tial can­di­date of choice in 2012 was Ron Paul. Paul has launched a new inter­net tv pro­gram and his first guest was none oth­er than Cit­i­zen Green­wald! Green­wald will also be the keynote speak­er at the LA con­fer­ence of CAIR, a front for the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood (an Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion.)


Update on Bitcoin, Max Planck Institute

One of the most vis­i­ble sup­port­ers of bit­coin is a “tech­no-lib­er­tar­i­an” named Cody R. Wil­son, whom we exam­ined in FTR #760. Wil­son, not sur­pris­ing­ly, is a devo­tee of Hans Her­mann-Hoppe and an active oppo­nent of democ­ra­cy. Bit­coin users have favored the Tor net­work. Now, a researcher with the Max Planck Insti­tute is look­ing to devel­op an alter­na­tive inter­net net­work that wil be imper­vi­ous to pen­e­tra­tion. One won­ders if that is intend­ed to facil­i­tate secure move­ment of ter­ror­ist and/or covert oper­a­tions monies for Under­ground Reich ele­ments.


Peter Thiel Is a Big Ted Cruz Backer

In FTR #‘s 758, 759, we looked at the pro­found con­nec­tions between the GOP fis­cal ter­ror­ists of the “Paulis­tin­ian Lib­er­tar­i­an Orga­ni­za­tion” and the milieu of Eddie Snow­den. It should come as no sur­prise that Peter Thiel is a major backer of Ted Cruz. In our dis­cus­sions of Thiel, NEVER for­get that he explic­it­ly rejects democ­ra­cy, in no small mea­sure because he does­n’t think women should be allowed to vote.


FTR #759 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 6: More About the Deep Fifth Column

Both the actions of Eddie the Friend­ly Spook and those of the GOP Con­gres­sion­al fac­tion have caused the world to view the U.S. in “fear and dis­may.” This pro­gram exam­ines intel­li­gence leaks dur­ing World War II that might have proved extreme­ly dam­ag­ing to the Unit­ed States. High­light­ing ele­ments of com­mon­al­i­ty between Snow­den and the GOP “shut­down” pro­po­nents, the broad­cast ana­lyzes both as ele­ments of an Under­ground Reich fifth col­umn.


FTR #758 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 5: Dramatis Personae, Part 5 (Deep Fifth Column)

This pro­gram under­scores the fun­da­men­tal con­ti­nu­ity between the forces embod­ied in Eddie the Friend­ly Spook and the GOP con­gress­men and sen­a­tors hold­ing the coun­try hostage to eco­nom­ic ruin. Bill Moy­ers cor­rect­ly labeled the GOP actions as a form of seces­sion. Fun­da­men­tal rejec­tion of demo­c­ra­t­ic process are at the core of the peo­ple and insti­tu­tions in Snow­den’s milieu, who reca­pit­u­late the val­ues expressed by Hitler in his speech before the Indus­try Club of Dus­sel­dorf.


FTR #757 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 4: Dramatis Personae, Part 4 (The Gruppenhobbit and the Underground Reich)

Con­tin­u­ing our analy­sis of the “dis­clo­sures” of Eddie the Friend­ly Spook [Snow­den], we high­light the Palan­tir firm which, its offi­cial dis­claimers to the con­trary notwith­stand­ing, appears to be the com­pa­ny that man­u­fac­tures the PRISM soft­ware at the cen­ter of Snow­den’s leak­ing. Osten­si­bly “left/progressive,” with a taste for smok­ing joints and J.R. Tolkien, Palan­tir CEO Alex Karp heads a firm that would per­mit one of its intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty and/or cor­po­rate spon­sors to sit down at a key­board and check some­one for hem­or­rhoids. The largest investor in Palan­tir is Peter Thiel, whom we exam­ined at length and in detail in FTR #718. Thiel was also the main financier of Ron Paul’s 2012 Super PAC. (Ron Paul was Eddie Snow­den’s Pres­i­den­tial can­di­date of choice.) Thiel is so far to the right that he explic­it­ly rejects democ­ra­cy, in no small mea­sure because we made what he sees as the mis­take of allow­ing women to vote. An exam­i­na­tion of Karp and his intel­lec­tu­al men­tor Juer­gen Haber­mas, sug­gests that both are “not as adver­tised.”
