In reply to the discussion: Snowden Mentioned ‘Direct Access’ In Interview With The Guardian [View all]reusrename
(1,716 posts)32. I know all this because I have been following this story closely.
My main interest is in researching how our social networks are being mapped by the NSA
and how this information is used to thwart our ability to organize any political resistance.
Snowden had more than one job using this system.
His last job was working as an analyst.
Before that he had other jobs as a systems software person.
I am quite confident that Snowden understands the architecture of the software.
I can understand being skeptical, but hasn't he been right about everything?

It's becoming increasingly clear that Snowden's claims of "direct access" were TOTAL BULLSHIT

One thing never mentioned is what Snowden has done to "legitimate" analysts in the field

You are very welcome. Try and pass this all along to interested folks. The media won't do it.

It's more like signing an affidavit. That's what the banksters needed for the mortgage theft.

So your hero Snowden was nothing more than a "robosigner" similar to those used by mortgage co's

I've tried to figure out what you mean about their jobs being affected, but I can't.
