Why the Ruling Class is So Upset About Edward Snowden

[stupidicus]

20. indeed, it's all about protecting the mirage of "American Exceptionalism"

and the darkness it hides, which they define, personify, and exemplify, and not the pursuit and promotion of a fair and just world we little people want.

It shows how exceptionally good they are at one thing only -- keeping us down and controlled, and holding onto their power in the process.

Making Snowden the issue isn't just "damage control", it's a recruitment tool the darkside has always employed and deployed on the unsuspecting public that takes a baby step towards or over and into the darkside. Much as the non-UN sanctioned war and occupation in Afghanistan made the lurch into Iraq practically inevitable, the acquiescience of those carrying water for the 1% now with the focus on Snowden will be exploited most energetically going forward.

And given the lack of any accountability for that war crime, where's the deterrent for more abuses of something intangible like "privacy" going forward?

It's all about giving (or trying to) we the victims as a matter of "popular opinion", partial or total ownership of the guilt, kinda like a rape victim. We'd sure hate to see our politicfal heroes have the complete ownership of the raping, like a collection of wayward high school football players, no?

Nausea has been one of the least of things I've felt watching this Snowden "debate" unfold here. The so-called lefty/liberal sheeple here are little more at best, than unwitting, willing, and just as indispensible tools for the 1% as the rightwingnuts have long been. That it is largely confined to this issue doesn't alter that, but it does make this particular rape case a bi-partisan affair.
