An American Hero

[lxskllr]

Look hard folks. This is what a real hero looks like. There's some others, but they don't usually make the news until they're under the boot heel of the government.

Thanks for what you did, Mr. Snowden. I hope the public can grasp the gravity of the issues that made you decide to break rank, and best wishes for your continued safety!

Very good Lxskllr - yes - a real hero.

I don't give him much chance though ... our western governments at the moment are no less corrupt than the ones in the "less trusted" parts of the world. They have just found a way of manipulating the electorate to such perverse levels that there is no such thing as democracy any more ... and there won't be again until the electorate re-discover the benefits of education and self-improvement.

I do like the Guardian - despite all the spelling mistakes!

He has a lot of guts. I thank him. I will pass on these links to everyone I know.

I agree. It's very scary the apathy of my friends and family. I was just the family wack job 5 yrs ago (kinda like here) but as all this takes place they still have no interest. Even tho the gubments watching I would rather die than go down as a hermit crab. F#ck you guys! Come and get me. Hell If everyone thought the same way there's no chance the can catch us all.. So for a recap.

They will target you thru the Irs if you don't fall in line.

The new health care bill is moderated by the IRS

They are montoring everything you do, will do or have done for many yrs. they admitte like 8 and if you believe that I have a bridge to sell.

I've been warning you guys for years and got ridiculed and called this and that...... I really think that the majority of the public either don't care or it wouldn't matter if they did. It's funny how a "fiction" novel written 60 yrs ago is so prescient. I'm going to the toilet to vomit while I still have a toilet.......

It is very respectful to see somebody drop a comfy life for honesty and accountability.

He should do fine after a book deal and interviews.
