      Occam's Razor is in plain sight regarding Edward Snowden. He is 100% a plant by the corporate-owned government. He is a propaganda minister designed to make you rebel against the government and further creates a separation of the people. The proof is they are allowing him to broadcast his message. If it weren't so, the corporations who own our government, also own all the media, including youtube, and they wouldn't allow any of his broadcasts. Remember united we stand divided we fall and it is each of our responsibility to help reunite our country and only then will we be able to turn our country around. All of these videos are nothing more than corporate-controlled propaganda. Don't be fooled any longer!

      And obviously revealing the extent of this survilance has led to changes.

      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.

      America is not a democracy, never was. A Nation's future should never hinge on the proclivities of any single person, voters on both sides are exactly the same whenever someone challenges their beliefs, and both accuse anyone who doesn't agree with their assigned talking points of supporting the other party. Thus the supporters of both parties have hijacked and sold out the rest of humanity for the sake of their own egos and lack of imagination.
      And this is how they've controlled us from the dawn of the 20th Century, where they pit us against each other, seed the debate with misinformation, some populism, and some catchy epithets, and continue to go about their plunder unopposed. All representatives will always be subject to influence from moneyed interests, blackmail, or assassination.
      The solution is a *Velvet Revolution* to install a *Scaled Direct Democracy* without representatives or politicians. Citizen Initiated Referendums with thresholds and a Social Contract using Blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without politicians. With a vote for, against, and the option to redraft, or veto, with the relative proportional thresholds.
      *Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete.*
      *#VelvetRevolution*
      *#ScaledDirectDemocracy*
      *#ThoriumEnergy*
      Thorium energy can process both nuclear and toxic waste, as well as make salt water desalination and carbon sequestration economically viable. It can also power synthetic fuel manufacture, and electric power for all forms of transport. Thorium reactors cannot be weaponized, are walk away safe, produce grams of waste to the tonne of conventional plants, and are low level radioactive for 300 years vs highly radioactive for 25,000. A person's lifetime of energy from thorium would cost less than $100. It also produces the world's best known cancer treatment when 1/2 adult in the western world will contract it.
      "The thorium molten salt power plant can produce clean energy cheaper than coal, which could be a reliable energy system toward a low carbon economy" PAL said.
      www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-nuclearpower-idUSKCN1UD0D0
      If the profits from American labour were shared equally as they are with corporate shareholders, every household would receive $700k annually. If we got even a fraction of that we would have more than enough to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure for everybody. We must nationalise our natural resources, and legislate industrial Cooperatives.
      52% of all greenhouse gases come from methane produced by Beef farming, which is currently 90% subsidized. Ending Beef Communism and embracing Hemp and Kelp farming as Moonshot technologies for use in packaging, construction, manufacturing, medicines, insulation, and clothing could alleviate the worst of climate change, sequester carbon, revitalize crop land and restore depleted habitats.
      It would also be conducive to have an independent public authority drawing from volunteers to act as third party advocates for the public interest, with the authority to charge and prosecute bad actors and cops in our own courts. This would ensure both Government and Law Enforcement are held to the highest standards of etiquette, ethical conduct, and equality of outcome regardless of Creed Color, or Economic bracket.
      Finally a National Digital Forum that allows for open sourced debate is essential for fascilatating Direct Democracy, and addressing the issues America does not want to face, from systemic racism, to ethnic cleansing as foriegn policy. If these things can't be discussed with frank honesty, civil moderation, without religious protections, and without the generic knee jerk reactionary bs, there is literally no hope for the West, as we will die by our own prejudices and cowardice. And of course Reparations, as well as Indigenous Sovereignty, if we claim to stand for anything right and true, reparations have to be a part of that picture, and no one is better suited to protect our natural environment, than the people who were already here when we arrived.

He is a propaganda minister designed to make you rebel against the government and further creates a separation of the people. The proof is they are allowing him to broadcast his message. If it weren't so, the corporations who own our government, also own all the media, including youtube, and they wouldn't allow any of his broadcasts. Remember united we stand divided we fall and it is each of our responsibility to help reunite our country and only then will we be able to turn our country around.

      MaCherie92 copied and leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 when he was a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee and subcontractor. His disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments, and prompted a cultural discussion about national security and individual privacy.

He is a propaganda minister designed to make you rebel against the government and further creates a separation of the people. The proof is they are allowing him to broadcast his message. If it weren't so, the corporations who own our government, also own all the media, including youtube, and they wouldn't allow any of his broadcasts. Remember united we stand divided we fall and it is each of our responsibility to help reunite our country and only then will we be able to turn our country around.

True secrets are simply closely held by prudent people. There is zero security justification for the classified system".
