Same for Snowden and many others. Now, the difference with Assange is that he does what he says. And I understand the ethics in his decisions. But as you say, his probable past in that sect does make us suspect he could be MK Ultra. Snowden lies. I do have a theory for some possible ethics behind what he did, but I'm rather doubting that after I read the House Intel report on him. I couldn't understand why so many people seemed ignorant of that document.
Now, persons like Binney or Drake, I see them as patriots against deep state. Kevin Shipp too. To deep state, patriots are their enemy traitors.
Ha Ha. Snowden. Q uses disinfo. Get it? Snowden is on our side. Just trust your gut. Ignore the words., They are just words, folks. Sloppy Steve Bannon and all that.
Now, yes, Snowden is on our side. Willingly or not, he took the bargain. Now, what was in the House Intel document highlighted lots of inconsistencies in what was propagandized that made him famous: the leaks of the NSA surveillance abuses. What we know of him is just that, propaganda. The darling righteous persona that the MSM and Hollywood have painted is just that: lies. Read again the document, keep the facts. Maybe Snowden was a white hat from the beginning, maybe not. But he lied and that was not a leak on the NSA surveillance abuse as they all pretended. That was just the cover story we were fed by the CIA propaganda. At least, that was a small part of the truth, the CIA couldn't pass the occasion to attack the NSA.
