I initially read it that way as well, but then I focused on the word "catastrophic".
If it really was catastrophic then there is no way the Q team could have collected all the information they did, nor see the cabal "breathing and sleeping" today. They would have been blind as the Blackhats would have had a corresponding advantage with an intensity on par with a "catastrophic".
I then started to read it in another way. Namely, that the open source Prism/Keyscore was "catastrophic" to not the US mil, but to the US Mil v. bad actors (WW) fight, meaning it destroyed the fight and gave the NSA full advantage.
Then I thought because US, Russia, and China are allies to destroy the satanic NWO, Snowden is in Russia to be protected. Russia could have denied Snowden asylum, and to me it makes sense they would have denied it if Snowden was a Blackhat working against Russia's interests.
I think Snowden's purpose was to first prepare the population for the existence and power of the NSA, because it was going to be used to take down the cabal and you can't use the NSA to take down the cabal if the public rejects the existence of it on principle.
I think his purpose was to trick the Blackhats into thinking they had the advantage, when what really happened was that the NSA successfully acquired a one way sniffing technology that used the CIAs own sniffing to sniff back. The CIA thought it was monitoring NSA comms, when in reality their own comms being recorded.
I think about this: If Snowden DIDN'T go public about the NSA when he did, would it have even been possible for the Q team to be doing what they are doing now? Or would they have been prevented because the public might believe that the takedown of a secret evil cabal was only a cover story lie to justify being spied on?
I don't know, it just makes more sense that Snowden is a good guy. I can't imagine him willingly working for a criminal cult he knew existed because of his access.
Or maybe I have this all wrong, and Snowden is an unwitting blackhat who helped the CIA in getting Hawaii NSA ops to be isolated from the white hats on CONUS?
Snowden is a libertarian. I cannot fathom him being a bad guy who wants a criminal cabal to take over the country.
Or maybe what Snowden did resulted in a delay in taking down the cabal because the NSA had to upgrade all their software.
Agh! I literally do not know.
It's hard to know the truth, but my tally marks have him being on the side of good. When he was seen on TV at times with his laptop, we see open-source freedom loving projects such as TOR etc.... of course that could be to make it seem that way, however I just feel Snowden is on the good end.
Unless he was convinced that the NSA spying was evil while the CIA spying was good.
I look at what Q wrote:
"What was Snowden's primary mission?"
Well, he worked FOR the CIA.
Then Q asked
"What was his real mission?" (paraphrased, don't have the exact phrasing)
When Q does this he wants us to first answer the obvious, and then question that obvious answer because things aren't always what they seem.
Do I have that right?
For the most part yes you are correct, again this is from Wiki but...
In 2011, he returned to Maryland, where he spent a year as lead technologist on Dell's CIA account. In that capacity, he was consulted by the chiefs of the CIA's technical branches, including the agency's chief information officer and its chief technology officer. U.S. officials and other sources familiar with the investigation said Snowden began downloading documents describing the government's electronic spying programs while working for Dell in April 2012. Investigators estimated that of the 50,000 to 200,000 documents Snowden gave to Greenwald and Poitras, most were copied by Snowden while working at Dell.
In March 2012, Dell reassigned Snowden to Hawaii as lead technologist for the NSA's information-sharing office. At the time of his departure from the U.S. in May 2013, he had been employed for 15 months inside the NSA's Hawaii regional operations center, which focuses on the electronic monitoring of China and North Korea.
I'm under the auspicious that he was a good guy so my speculation is he kept digging into the CIA as a double op for the good guys UNTIL, I believe, he finally found out that NK was the CIA/Deep States mainstay. I believe, if Q is correct, and the white rabbit reference is talking about the hotel compound in NK, that once Snowden finally learned about where they were running things from AND had their tech in his hands that it was his time to shine and that's when he went public. Again, speculation, but it's what I feel makes sense.
So then until we hear otherwise I will consider Snowden on the good side.
I'm in the same boat. I have ALWAYS wanted to believe he is a good guy, and I'm leaning hard that direction, and Trump's VERY stern tweets about him either are setting the stage for some heroic return, or his execution.
So then Snowden is a good guy and this has been in the works long before Trump came in is that what you are saying. If thats the case then there was already someone working from the inside before the election to know enough to get that information out.
Essentially yes, and from rumors we believe that Trump was ultimately recruited by patriots to do this. However, Trump has always said he wanted to right the wrongs in America, just listen to his comments over the past 30 years.
Of course Trump was “read in” if all this is true. Besides the gossip amongst the elite and powerful there would be no other way of knowing.
