It should be clear in this context ES = @Snowden
It should be clear based on prev drop re: game comms why ES was included.
It should be clear that 'ES' was used in both (GOOG + @Snowden) drops to est a link.
Q
So was ES (Eric Schmidt & Edward Snowden in NK setting up networks? OR was it just Eric Schmidt? We had a pic of Eric Schmidt in NK, none of Ed Snowden though.. that I know of)

Cryptomeâs searing critique of Snowden Inc.
Posted on February 13, 2016 by Tim Shorrock
The current corporate media business model of celebrity as an income producer and celebrity as a sensationalizing, titillating device for increasing the value of content is something we stay away from. Itâs deeply cynical to sensationalize this trusted transaction, when someone come to you with a document and puts it forward to you.
â Deborah Natsios, Cryptome

This week, John Young and Deborah Natsios, the founders of Cryptome, one of the worldâs oldest and best-known repositories of leaked intelligence documents, quietly posted a URL to an interview they conducted on February 6 during a conference in Berlin, Germany.
Young and Natsios are introduced, correctly, as ârenowned figures within a larger community people interested in keeping governments and institutions accountable, and using documents to do that.â But they also offer deep insights into the media and how it has handled revelations about U.S. intelligence and the National Security Agency. And their remarks, such as the quote above, clearly catch their host by surprise.
In the 18th minute, they issue a scathing rebuke of âcelebrityâ journalism as practiced, in their opinion, by The Intercept, the publication owned by Pierre Omidyarâs First Look Media. The interview is worth hearing in its entirety, and I urge anyone whoâs had questions and concerns about Edward Snowden and his relationship to The Interceptâs founding editors, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and Laura Poitras, to listen to it and carefully consider their arguments.
Why? Because Cryptome raises serious questions that nobody else on the left or in the media want to talk about, including how Omidar has created a business from Snowdenâs cache; what exactly Snowden may have been doing while he was working for the CIA prior to his time at NSA (and what else he may have been doing at NSA itself); and why Snowden and The Intercept continue to proselytize for Tor, the anonymization tool, despite its massive funding from the U.S. government, the Pentagon and the national security state.
One of the most amazing moments comes when the host, Pit Shultz, grows nervous about how his questions are being answered. Itâs a sad insight into how the libertarian left responds to any criticism of its heroes and the arrogance and vitriol thatâs been thrown to people whoâve raised questions about Snowden, Tor or Omidyarâs operations. To his credit, Shultz soldiers on â but only after Natsios assures him that ârobust debateâ is crucial to democracy.
Cryptomeâs critique, as expressed in the interview, is not new. Ever since Greenwald first wrote about Snowdenâs documents in The Guardian in 2013, the organization has been keeping careful track of the glacial pace of the documentsâ release and The Interceptâs almost-total control over the cache. Their latest tally, posted this week, is 6,318 pages of what The Guardian first reported as 58,000 files.
From the start, Young and Natsios made it clear that they strongly disapprove of the fact that this cache has not been made widely available to the public and posted for all to see â as they have done with the tens of thousands of intelligence files they have released since the late 1990s (and as Daniel Ellsberg did with the Pentagon Papers). Take a look at how Gawker, a publication very friendly to The Intercept, reported on Cryptome in June 2013:
When the Guardian and Washington Post published their blockbuster NSA reports based on Ed Snowdenâs leaks, journalists lined up conga-style to congratulate them on the scoops. Not Cryptome. Instead, the secret-killing site blasted the Guardian and Post for only publishing 4 of the 41 slides that Snowden gave them about PRISM, the NSAâs system for spying on the internet.
âMr. Snowden, please send your 41 PRISM slides and other information to less easily cowed and overly coddled commercial outlets than Washington Post and Guardian,â Cryptome wrote in a June 10th dispatch titled âSnowden Censored by Craven Media.â
To longtime followers of Cryptome, this response was unsurprising. Before Wikileaks, before Ed Snowden, there was Cryptome. Manhattan-based architects John Young and Deborah Natsios founded Cryptome.org in 1996 as a repository for documents no one else would publish, including lists of CIA assets, in-depth technical schematics of sensitive national security installations, and copyrighted material. As leaking has created a vibrant media ecosystem in recent years, complete with favored outlets, journalists and sources, Cryptome has positioned itself as its curmudgeonly ombudsman, quietly but blisteringly cutting down the hype and blather it sees in its competitors while advocating a form of radical transparency as straightforward as Cryptome.orgâs bare-bones website.
Until now, however, Iâve never seen an analysis like this. What follows is my transcript of key parts of the interview.
Shultz, the host, begins with a discussion with Natsios, who grew up âin a CIA family,â about her art, and then focuses on Cryptomeâs roots in the Cold War and its founding in 1996 (Young was also active, with Wikileakâs Julian Assange, in the âcypherpunkâ movement in the early 1990s). Throughout their organizationâs existence, Young explains, âwe did not seek celebrity. We thought we should do public service quietly and non-ostentatiously. We donât like high-profile activity because we think it disrupts the process.â
This is already a huge contrast to the approach taken by the The Interceptâs founders. But what follows is stunning. After Natsios makes her statement about âcelebrity as an income producer,â Young opens up, first taking on the ACLU.
Young: Let me name some names. ACLU, one of the most corrupt organizations in New York City and around the world. We detest how theyâre handling Snowden. Theyâre using him for funding purposes. Meanwhile, theyâre turning down more needy people because theyâre not good for fund-raising. Look at what these folks are paid. Phenomenal salaries are being paid. Phenomenal salaries are being paid to The Intercept. These are your corrupt organizations to get these kinds of salaries out there while others who provide the information are either going to jail or getting nothing. I think thatâs the pattern thatâs going on now under the national security realm. Now I should say the National Security Archives and the Federation of American Scientists do not do that. But some of these newcomers to the national security field are. ACLU is an old organization. But we know people whoâve left ACLU over this issue, because theyâve become money-driven and not public service driven. And they refuse to have anything to do with ACLU. And thatâs a tragedy because it once had a wonderful history. Now the question is, who else is on the list? There are others who are smelling the coffee of money-makingâŚ
The interview then turns to non-profit journalism, as practiced by First Look.
Natsios: As you know, the neo-liberal model now includes the non-profit world. But the non-profit world is now in a group-think in terms of its operational practicesâŚ
Young: You know, you get a lucrative tax write-off to set up a non-profit journalism organization because itâs considered a hardship industry. Isnât that absurd? But it turns out Omidyar saved a lot of money setting up First Look because he gets a tax write-off for a hardship industry as though there some farmer out there somewhere. So when you see [Amazon owner Jeff] Bezos and other people investing, itâs for a tax write-off. And so a number of non-profits in the media world say, âOh, the decline of investigative journalismâ or blah blah blah. Well, it turns out thatâs a result of heavy lobbying to be declared a hardship industry. Bingo!
The next section (not transcribed here) focuses on Tor, the âanonymity toolâ promoted heavily by Snowden, Poitras and Greenwald and financed by the U.S. government, primarily through the Pentagon, as well as Omidyar himself â a topic Iâll focus on in a later posting. The discussion appears to disturb the interviewer.
Shultz: We are loyal here to this community. But some inner criticism can be seen as constructive. These questions are important. I suppose you can say whatever you say. We have free speech here.
Natsios: You said that very tentatively and cautiously. You should say that robustly, that robust dissent within any organization is crucial in a democratic context. Donât apologize for it.
After that exchange, the conversation pivots to a discussion about Snowdenâs role as a spy. Young mentions Snowdenâs experience before NSA in Hawaii as a counter-intelligence operative for the CIA.
Shultz: [At the conference there was mention of] Snowden as a hero for civil rights. But it was not mentioned he was a spy. How can you trust a spy?
Young: You cannot. You cannot trust anyone with a security clearanceâŚThey have to lie to you. Itâs not a glorious role, itâs a dirty role.
Young then returns to The Interceptâs relationship with Snowden. He mentions two journalists who came way before Greenwald & Co. and early on exposed the operations of the NSA overseas, Duncan Campbell and Nicky Hager.
Young: I donât know why Snowden didnât go to them instead of those assholes he went to. Thatâs a story that hasnât been told. Why did he go to these technologically illiterate people to reveal this stuff to? Someone sold him a bill of goods. We donât know who fed him into this group.
Shultz: So youâre critical about him spoon-feeding the mass media?
Natsios: Itâs a second secret regime thatâs been imposed by the media proxies. The assumption is there should be a media pathway to the public. Well, that could be a fallacyâŚIf weâre to believes Snowdenâs current media proxies and his testimony through them, heâs been extremely cautious and controlling about his release. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Heâs been extremely particular about what he wants to let go evidently and what he keeps in reserve. Thatâs his choice. But these are taxpayer-paid documents belonging in the public domain. What authority does he have to open the spigot where he is now controlling in a fairly doctrinaire and authoritarian way what happens to this trove, this cache?âŚ
Young: Snowden says he gave them to the public; no, he didnât. He gave them to a bunch of self-interested journalists who decided to run a certain story with it, i.e., to explain it to people. And their fucking explainers really have a problem.
Natsios: Itâs a serious conflict of interest. Theyâve written themselves into the story as heroes, co-heroes of the story. Itâs a conflict of interest. Theyâre not at a distance from their source. Theyâve embedded themselves in the narrative, and therefore all decisions are highly suspect because they benefit from the outcome of the narrative in every sense.
Young: They should go to people who can read the documents, not report on them. Reporting is not honesty. It is headline grabbing. It is hyper ventilation. And they call it reporting, when in fact itâs highly selective. This is criminal behavior. [Note: in that context, itâs rather amazing to see this tweet from Snowden himself chastising a Washington journalist for being directed in his reporting by a White House official â exactly what Snowden did with his stenographers].
To get its full flavor, I again urge readers to listen to the interview in its entirety. After I heard it, I passed part of this transcript by Bill Binney, the legendary NSA analyst who once was the Technical Director of NSAâs Operations Directorate. He is reknowned for blowing the whistle on corporate corruption and illegal surveillance at the NSA, a story I documented in The Nation in 2013 (prior to Snowdenâs appearance on the scene, I might add).
Binney, always the humorist, reminded me of a notorious statement made by Sam Visner, a senior NSA official, to a group of contractors a day after the 9/11 attacks: âWe can milk this thing all the way to 2015.â Hereâs Binneyâs email to me about the arguments from Young and Natsios: âAs Sam said, âwe can milk this cow for 15 years.â Itâs just business.â
Cryptome puts it this way: âAt Snowden current rate it will take 20-620 years to free all documents.â Thatâs really milking it. So, yes, âmoney doesnât talk, it swears.â

They had it right on ED the whole time.. or from the beginning.. when it was about making money off the "leak" him, greenwald, scahill, and a bunch did just that. MADE MONEY OFF THE LEAK OF DATA he stole to ruin the NSA.
