I do not doubt that Snowden was under orders from the CIA. But I disagree with the alleged reasoning for his orders. I think it is far more likely that Snowden was given the orders to expose the programs to give the goons who were abusing those programs to defraud stock markets around the globe an avenue to claim "plausible deniability" for their criminal actions. Snowden was their fall guy.
I knew what PRISM was years prior to Snowden, because of a very short lived MSM story about a multi-trillion dollar [EU] lawsuit that has since been thoroughly scrubbed from the net, and all records of it vanished without a trace.
You are missing the point- Snowden didn't release anything that the boobs in our own govt. didn't already lose to foreign nations. And those same govt. boobs lost that technology because they were abusing it to steal from stock markets around the world. They got caught, and the EU launched a multi-trillion dollar lawsuit against the USA, and the EU knew the names and details of those programs- all prior to Snowden.
I know the magnitude of what all that means is a bit much for any of us to wrap our heads around. But Snowden did not reveal the programs. Crooks in our govt. lost the fucking programs because they were using it to steal trillions out of global stock markets, and the incompetent idiots got caught.
I disagree with the notion that the CIA was simply trying to undermine the NSA. While I can accept that Snowdens actions were in part to discredit the NSA, I believe that the primary purpose of the Snowden release was to act as a public distraction to provide a plausible deniability defense for the CIA after they fumbled the technology into foreign hands by their abuse of the technology to rig stock markets.
If the goal of the CIA was to simply expose the NSA, then they could have simply pointed to the fact that the EU filed a lawsuit alleging the abuse of PRISIM, and other programs. There would be no need for a Snowden. Why didn't they blame the NSA for the EU lawsuit? ...
Instead, the EU lawsuit that specifically named PRISM and exposed the secret tech (prior to Snowden) was completely scrubbed from the net, and the lawsuit has never been heard of since. That's a coverup.
Later, Snowden appeared, and has been universally fingered as the source of the leak of those programs, even though I know (from MSM report) that specific details, and illegal uses of those programs were already known by members of the EU. Snowden was a patsy for the CIA to use to deflect, and provide plausible deniability for how those programs really became known to the the public. They became known to the public because the US govt. got caught using the programs to steal. Snowden is a patsy for a far more severe crime than simply leaking classified data.
