Snowden Finally Shuts The Fuck Up, Blames The US

[Effete Snob]

It seems that Edward Snowden ran out of things to say a couple of weeks ago, and has no more "whistleblowing" to do.

When last heard from....

1. Once a hero now the goat

Did you expect anything less considering where he lives? Hard to have principles in those circumstances.

4. He was never a hero.

[OhZone]

9. He was never a hero.

He was always a traitor.

10. Oh aren't you clever

Yes, the US government employs me to post on DU. It's a new Joe Biden initiative.

Gee, nobody thought the GOP were authoritarians before Snowden came along.

And, I don't know where you grew up, but I grew up in the US, in which we pretty much knew when we were kids that if you use a communication system that is run by someone else, then it means someone else can probably listen to it.

15. Our dark secret has finally been revealed: we here at DU are paid government tools.

The government pays us tools lots and lots of money to say nice things about Democrats and be mean to Snowden. Obviously. There's no pulling the wool over some people's eyes, they are too smart!

5. He has been spectacularly wrong about a hell of a lot of things.

A fool who managed to fool a lot of other fools.

11. Snowden is a tool. The narcissist wants the world to live by his ideology.

He loved Ron Paul and hated Social Security.

Now, the disgruntled one is living in a country which does everything he is supposedly against.

12. My days of not taking a thing he says seriously anymore...

...are definitely coming to a middle.

14. The same with Wikileaks...

At the beginning of the Ukraine-War, Wikileaks posted on Twitter about how Russia is expanding its wiretapping-network to Ukraine... the network which Wikileaks boasted about uncovering.
Actually, I read an article on this back when Wikileaks revealed this program: Turns out that most of this was already known to other intelligence-agencies and Wikileaks just filled in a few details.

Nowadays?

Not a single peep from Wikileaks about Russia's censorship and how yet another independent russian newspaper had to shut down amid threat of prison-sentences.

What is Wikileaks twittering about instead?

Julian Assange's wedding.





Isn't Wikileaks supposed to fight for freedom of the press and radical transparency? Aren't they supposed to fight for holding powerful people responsible?

Maybe Wikileaks is regretting that they moved some of their servers to a web-host in Moscow to escape US jurisdiction...
