Just in case it’s of interest, you might want to take a look at Chris Floyd’s contributions over at Empire Burlesque. He’s been lifting the lid on Snowden-Greenwald dissonance for a while. This post in particular: http://new.chris-floyd.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/2381-cartoons-and-cueballs-an-exchange-with-glenn-greenwald.html and http://new.chris-floyd.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/2393-skyrockets-in-flight-the-profitable-spectacle-of-stylized-dissent.html as a starting point.

It’s 3 months, and a bit, since Jon’s blog, to this comment. In that time, largely, through the efforts of James Corbett and Sibel Edmonds, my thoughts on Snowden, Greenwald & Co. have completed the proverbial 180 degree turnaround.

Might be a good idea to put this website among my favourites.

Sibel Edmonds and James Corbett are also asking some very legitimate questions about Greenwald and Snowden. it’s amazing how irritable folks become when one suggests things don’t add up. If we’ve learned anything it is surely to keep questioning deeply the nature of so called revolutions and revelations.

Once you really grasp the nature of our societies which are deeply compromised by psychopaths in power (see Andrew Lobaczewki’s Political Ponerology) you see that it’s not so much shadows everywhere you look but pathological constructs seeding cartelism and corruption as a matter of course. if you are one of those who has been paying attention to the patterns of such corruption and especially in relation to whistleblowing you’d have seen that Snowden was all over EVERY mainstream media outlet almost instantly, while other whistleblowers who had been trying to get to the public for many years – well, barely a whisper. That’s a read flag from the get-go.

I was cheer-leading all along with Greenwald and Snowden at first until I started to look at it dispassionately. It’s a depressing thing, but you have to do it. And once you do, the whole thing begins to unravel. If Snowden was truly genuine he’d wouldn’t be around. It’s that simple. It’s not paranoia, it’s simply looking at the Establishment workings as they are, coldly and objectively.

It’s like placing hope in the next political candidate that will change everything from Obama (look what happened there..) to Ron Paul and by doing so we continually draw from a juvenile appraisal of reality. The system is broken and will not be mended by a new candidate or a carefully managed “whistleblower”. The corporate-intelligence complex and persons like Snowden – whether duped or aware – are masters at perception management and it is likely he has been used to mop up awakening on the nature of surveillance and the inverted totalitarianism presently descending.

Anyway, I’ll stop blethering on now and go peel my potatoes.

Great blog btw.
