I am sure GG's treasure trove of stolen classified information will financially benefit him in many ways, and he'll share the loot with Greenwald and whoever else is on the payroll.

Truly sickening.

Half of the article on DailyPaul that you linked to is from Infowars muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #20

No, the content is from Boiling Frogs. Here: Whisp Jun 2014 #24

You didn't link to 'Boiling Frogs', you linked to DailyPaul muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #31

I should probably change that link in the initial post but Whisp Jun 2014 #35

No, domestic spying by our own government AgingAmerican Jun 2014 #27

GG and Co. give a shit about domestic spying. It's a ruse, it's bait for the gullible. Whisp Jun 2014 #29

No, I'm saying Omidyar and Co. are using people's fear for profit. Just like the NRA. Whisp Jun 2014 #32

Ah. So all his experience in cyber security is null and void if he profits from it? Cerridwen Jun 2014 #44

Fortunately, people who care about cyber-security on an international scale, Cerridwen Jun 2014 #52

I was a bit offended that he was on TED talks Whisp Jun 2014 #54
