This. Totally agree. The NSA was the one 'wrinkle' that could undo all of this. Snowden was a plant ultimately to bring down the NSA and look like a hero doing it, glamorized in a major motion film, while Assange is holed up for how many years now.
You can even hear the animosity Q has for Snowden…I'll admit, I kinda admired what he did in the beginning. But now the more and more I think about it - he's a saboteur - a traitor - and it's been a huge farce with real implications the whole time. Now you can see the inverse. Where Snowden was the key to bringing NSA down he's also the key to bringing down this whole charade. It makes a lot of sense now why Q spends a lot of time calling out Snowden.
I wonder if the clowns had that 'oh shit' moment when they realized all their despicable fuckery was being scooped up by NSA - or if they knew all along and planned some day in the future to bring it all down by gaining the support of the American Citizens via a soft-spoken beta cowering in a hotel room polished off by cinematic release.
So now - who do we think did the CIA vault drops to Wikileaks?
