Snowden is a traitor.

How does it feel getting caught with your pants down? We are fed up with your lies.

Industrial espionage? No shit, Sherlock.

May I point out that "Der Spiegel" published classified information about the stations Bad Aibling, Teufelsberg and Gablingen in 1989, thereby revealing how these stations were used to spy on West German politicians and corporations? Does anybody think the Special Collection Service set up shop in Frankfurt and Berlin to spy on the North Koreans?

We've been on the receiving end of this since 1945, and we know it. There are no friends among nations, there are only interests.

Seems like we need more traitors, then.

Remember the Manning embassy telegrams? They taught us that embassies do a lot to arrange sales for companies like Boeing, etc. And so the NSA makes sure our pricing is best or matched for any bidding and that we're not getting undercut.

Poe's Law...

Power corrupts. Business and politics are not-so secret lovers. Does anyone not think our governments are filled to the brim with self serving assholes? Since the dawn of our civilization!

In order to be at the top you need to gain an edge, an advantage over the basic humans and their basic, law-abiding, selfless peers. Duh.

We're pattern detecting machines. Stop being so ignorant. If you're in management or leadership of anything in our spectrum of existence you'll see this type of behavior (usually not outright but often obvious rule skirting) allllllllll the time.

And to avoid lying about or being accused of self serving we've made it a rule to be self-serving and divided the transparency of how the system truly works; not to balance but to provide for those making these difficult decisions.

And then you reach that plateau and you find that the lack of transparency and smoke screens by those who have already been there for all these years, well, that's just part of the system; part of business; part of politics, woven for those who play the game and continue to pattern seek and change the rules and/or adapt to the rules to continue reaping the benefits of power.

Devil is in the details, which is where specialists come in, but sometimes you need a holistic perspective of the entirety of being.
