If he wouldn’t have these chips, he’d be dead already and we all know it.
True.
Suicided
He’s a traitor…. The road to perdition is paved with good intentions
@@dougfornili5969 A traitor to whom? The people or the government? The gov. lied about Iraq and we killed 1.2 million people directly and hundreds of thousands of people indirectly. Is Bush jr a traitor? Obama armed and trained what later became known as ISIS. They've killed many US citizens. Is Obama a traitor? John McCain armed and financed Neo-nazis in the Ukraine, who then helped him overtrow the democratically elected gov. of Ukraine. Provoking a war that will cost many, many lives. Is he a traitor?
He deserved to be 😂
I trust Edward Snowden more than the United States, Incorporated.
Then move to Russia and give him a hug.
If you were the president we would be fuck3d be cause he is a traitor and I went to boot camp with him. He threatened to kill himself if they didnt let him out so I had to stay on suicide watch all the fucking time. He leaked millions of important classified documents/files to Russia which is why he was granted citizenship. He jumped and broke both of his legs so that they would release him from basic training.
@@ab-js2gw People like you is what's wrong with this world.
@Tim B 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
@Tim B keep flat earthing 👌🏼
We all know who the real villain is ..and it ain’t Edward
Just an FYI since YT removed the dislike count - but you can still see it in UA-cam Vanced - this clip has about 30% more dislikes than likes at the moment. It's reassuring to see people recognizing a hero like Edward.
EDIT: The video currently has 6.7k likes and 7k dislikes.
Thank you!
I don't know how reassuring that is to me personally. Collectively, people these days could probably barely tie a fucking shoe with each other's help lmfao.
That in itself… propaganda
What’s “You Tube Vance? I’d like to see the dislike count on every video!
Thank God ❤❤love snowden
Edward Snowden would in any normal society be a hero
exposing crimes is never a crime.
Regardless of US Law or US V Russia political issues Edward Snowden is a hero of the people and democracy in general. He cannot be blamed for gaining citizenship via asylum in an enemy state against democracy and world peace when his home country and ALL democratic western states (Canada, UK, EU states) refused to protect him from death and/or incarceration. What choice did he have? ALL WHISTLEBLOWERS DESERVE AN UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE OF SAFETY AND FREEDOM FROM PUNISHMENT!
Damn bro I don't know if I could have said this any better. No disrespect to Bustamante former CIA guy but he has no shred of evidence to backup his claims against Snowden. But if there's some truth to Snowden using US gov secrets for "insurance" purposes well who could blame him? If our government was honorable then 911wouldn't have happened, the Kennedy brothers wouldn't have been assassinated and there would have been no Vietnam war.
Who is objecting this
@@ProfAzimov Literally, the United States. Snowden ended up in Russia because the Russians protected him, while the US would very much either kill him or incarcerate him.
The silly thing is the US made a huge stink about absolutely nothing. He revealed a lot, yes - but a lot of it should have been a given assumption anyway
Guy is a hero. Regardless of our opinions, he did what he thought was morally right & had to start a whole new life because of it
He was holed up in an airport for months/years wasn't he?
We need more people like snowden
We need them more than ever in Russia
"He stole other important unrelated secrets"
What secrets?
"I cant tell you but just trust me bro."
He is simply parroting the party line thats some of the same stuff James Clapper and Michael Haden accused Snowden of. He first never got to Ecuador as they flagged his passport so he got stuck in Russia they caused that and that already a proven fact. Snowden himself maintains he gave all the data he had to the journalists and took nothing with him specifically so he could not be coerced into giving up classified intelligence to anyone. Accusing him of doing so is part of their effort to Frame him for a much larger violation of the Espianoge Act and to make him look like an actual spy instead of a whistle blower. If it was anyone else but the threw horseman of the apocalypse ( Haden, Clapper and Brennen) making this accusation I might actually but it but those three are the slimmeyest lowlifes in agency history. They make Allen Dulles Jim Sturgis and E Howard Hunt look like Boy Scouts.
Sooooo, if i seek asylum in Brazil and then, because i seeked asylum there for 5 years, i am automatically working in Brazil’s interests once i get my citizenship document? Wtf. We dont even know what edward is up to in Russia….
The difference is: you are not Snowden. Big difference.
He is a National Hero! We need to celebrate him on Patriot's Day, this January!
What so heroic did he do?
@@ab-js2gw 🏆He exposed the corruption of our government. Did you think that's okay? 🤷 ...for them to lie, break the law, and violate the Constitutional Rights of every American Citizen??? Snowden is a Patriot and a Hero! 🔥
@@peacenow2023 he didn't exposed anything. If you had any common sense you'd understand all of this corruption happening with all governments including russian where he's currently hiding.
A national hero? Yes, especially in Putin’s Russia comrade.
hahahaha what a liar
The fake CIA guy had me at Snowden,
So he things no one will torture Snowden for those secrets?
He is just a liar for publicity.
Nope! He's going to Russia to protect his ass.
WHY DOES HE NEED THAT SORT OF INSURANCE!! In a “democratic” nation, WHY!! Yes he he should of done what he did, but Big Brother is not the real victim here, nor is Snowden. The victim here is the sovereignty of the United States Citizen.
CIA, yeah. A very trusty organization.
Nope. Snowden has been there for nearly 10 years.
You telling me they only “gave” him citizenship now? 😂
Think about it. He’s been a temporary resident for 9 years, and a permanent resident for 3 years.
🤦♂️
If by citizenship, we automatically assume he is serving Russian interest then by the very same logic, we must also assume that every American should serve the interest of their country when that isn’t the case. We as human beings are allowed to differ and support humanity than the notions of servitude designed to protect a country. This is what Snowden did so no wonder this EX-CIA person is supporting the government by his very same logic and painting the man who stood up for Americans as an enemy telling how agencies use their power to support themselves than the people who they are, at least in principle, serving.
“Do what you will.”
Edward Snowden; thank you for your service! A true American hero.
He knows we have no privacy in the u.s., and other scary things that would probably make all of us want to leave to.
Edward Snowden is an American Hero, this guy's a psyop
LOL... We should believe an ex CIA agent? Alright.
They should name schools after him and universities. Like we Germans learned to name schools after the ones that were resisting and exposing themselves, risking (and often losing) their lives for said resistance, because they *_knew_* it was the right thing and the manipulated masses running behind the great leader like toddlers behind the marching brass were wrong.
The guy with the 145 IQ covered all his bases. What a shock. Awesome.
I don’t hold any grudges or animosity against LGBT +Q all the way the letter Z or dislike against people affected by narcissistic qualities but this guy is just ridiculous: the shit he does with his hair is RIDICULOUS!!!
I mean, what would one expect him to do differently on his position? Is there a better idea or suggestion? Quoting him: "I'd absolutely do it all over again." (for the sake of Good and Truth).
To me Assange, Manning, Snowden and others are the real super heroes to have done what they did for the good sake of Humanity.
A former cia agent critiquing Snowden
I trust and respect Snowfen more than Andrew Bustamante. No such thing as ex CIA
Imagine Julian Assange still in prison
Can someone explain to me when Snowden was in Ecuador? He went from the US to Hong Kong and then straight to Russia.
Snowden is one of the people who realized that you don't have to die to be celebrated or to help people. He took everything that he learned about them that was crazy and he published what was necessary and kept some other information to protect himself. In the information age, it is always best to have some sort of protection for yourself.
Him exposing the Mass Surveillance happenings made a lot of sense because people became targets in so many ways. He did the right thing. He chose allegiance to humanity over allegiance to a corrupt state
It’s clear he’s not read up at all on what occurred.
Like Jesus said, let he without sin cast the first stone.
I totally understand why Snowden did what he did and why knowing the enemies he would make, brought some bargaining chips with him.
The fact that people are even remotely upset about that given the gravity of what he confirmed for the public.
That the USA has not one but two autonomous intelligence organizations that it has effectively lost control over, is what everyone should be very concerned about.
I'd say that was very smart under the circumstances.
Speculation on what he’s actually sharing, but totally support his choices to leave the US.
No such thing as a "former" CIA agent.
Do I like the idea that Snowden sold sensitive data to foreign nations...no but it was a neccessary evil so us citizens could know what the U.S. was doing
Once a spook, always a spook. Snowden is a hero.
He did what you would not
“How dare a whistleblower defend himself from the state.”
Edward is a hero
they remain classified??? BS, they lie, he lies this guy lies they are full of it
This guy Bustawanker is a snitch. Listen to the story he tells about how he snitched on his class mates for drinking
How did he buy a plane ticket with that information? He went to Hong Kong by himself. Met at the Mira Hotel with the journalists from the Guardian. Gave them an SD card with all the information. And then flew to Russia.
FREEDOM OF SOUND ....................😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't remember Snowden in Ecuador. I think this guy is deliberately misrepresenting this case.
Nerd emoji on the black guy tbh, seethe harder, BOOHHOOOO its harder for the CIA and elites to hide how strong they are, IM about to bust out bawling on my pillow
Lol Snowden should be pardoned and put as oversight of the entire IC
Dude looks like he goes to Rage Against The Machine concerts and has a hammer and sickle tramp stamp.
Lol he ate the chips.
We have drones harassing us at night !!!
Bustamante is the CIAs inofficial minister if propaganda. Still works for them
How do we know he had these extra secrets if they are secrets?
he openly bashes the russian government on twitter, so that’s a complete lie saying he has russian interest
Americans love Edward Snowden
He gave up cables...which, in danger of people's lives
If you had to chose to leave your baby with Snowden or Biden, who would you chose?
Is it just me, or does this CIA guy feel like a 1984 type disinformation operative.
Dismantle the CIA
CIA my ass this dude sells incense at the local hemp shop 😂
“He stole this other stuff that we can’t tell you about or even what it pertains to but trust us he’s a bad guy for doing it.”
🥱
The more the CIA paints him as a villain, the more I like him
Your mum said the same about me.
@@ab-js2gwshush Indian servant of Israel
Just because the CIA criticises someone? Surely there's more to it.
@@Olyfrunthe CIA blatantly lied under oath to congress and said they weren’t using his code/program he developed for them to spy on the entire world… lol what are you not understanding. The CIA and NSA are trying to cover their tracks but they can’t since it’s public their letting him live for now. When he dies it’ll be an “act of god” but the whole world will know the US government will have some kind of involvement.
@ab-js2gw 😂😂
Former CIA, current propaganda disperser
Literally everything he said here is a fact. What he said is the exact reason the government villainizes him. He didn’t villainize him, he told your illogical ass why he gets villainized by some people. Do try using that little brain of yours for two seconds before the next time you want to type out nonsense talking points. It makes you look bad
Exactly. That’s all this guy is.
But it is true, the news always said that metadata collection wasnt the only thing he took.
Sleeper Agents
Edward Snowden said he took A, this guy right here telling us he took B, C, D all the way to Z.
I'm with Snowden on this one until somebody has evidence he took more than A
Snowden? Is that the one that lifted the lid on civilians being killed in overseas warzones with no repercussions to those carrying out or ordering the attacks? And he's the one villainised?
That was Bradley Manning (i believe), Snowden whisltleblew on unlawful surveillance of citizens. Bradley is now known as Chelsea and was pardoned. Go figure eh
That was Julien Assange who was just moved from Britain to the US where he'll prolly rot in jail or get offed. Darn shame. Edward Snowden exposed NSA surveillance and such.
@@sarahrose0622 Yea, an extradition he will no doubt be lucky to survive if he doesn’t “commit suicide” in his cell once moved to the US
@@sarahrose0622 It's funny how the sexual assault accusation conveniently comes shortly after he exposed that cover-up...one of the few crimes that doesn't require much evidence beyond a convincing testimony from a victim.
He was on the run from the US government at the time of the alleged incident...I'm pretty sure he had more pressing things on his mind than getting laid.
@@chrisburke624 The "victims" didn't even know about the crime. Assange was only wanted for questioning.
Funny how these retired/ex-CIA guys always say the same thing as the regular CIA guys.
It's almost like they're not actually retired. :P
It's s gang. Nobody ever retires
Exactlyyy.
It’s like getting involved with drugs. Once your in your in for good.
Hahaha nail on the head
It’s almost like they actually know what they’re talking about unlike internet conspiracy theorists.
No such thing as former CIA. This guy is hypnotizing you with his hipster BS. Don’t believe him.
golden comment, couldn't put it better in text
the hipster thing, I can't man xD so true, it's revolting
But was he lying. Cause the simple fact of that is concerning. But we don’t know. So I’d doubt both of them and only appreciate what they offer. Snowden or this ex cia dude
godzilla its a shame really, to drive a person's mind out of line for no good reason @@aluardghirmai5010
hahah true. But knowing how people can be stupid, it's saddening how his long hair-relatable hipster cover is sure to hypnotize many.
I've watched about 3 podcasts that have him in. And clearly what he spouts are poisons laced with aloooot of honey. just listen to podcasts with him in, then do a weeks long deeeep dive on a topic he talks about. I'm talking about every resource you can find. Then, you'll see his superior ability to really twist facts that somehow flip protagonists into villains and vice versa. It's very subtle and hard to notice. Clearly not retired.
Snowden is a American hero and he shows us that not all of our enemies are from another country
Exactly the enemy is within our own country since the beginning of Columbus arrival but most people don’t wanna hear the truth to it because the truth hurts how corrupt our system is in this modern age
Yes. He is a hero. Not a damn lemming, like to many people are.
@@daveken9936 when you said lemming I kind of thought of joe Biden 😂
@@JoseHernandez-th2ff trump as well. Both sides are disgusting.
@@daveken9936 I never said they we’re both perfect but it seems that the 21 year old who was arrested for obtaining information on Joe Biden would say more about him than Trump
"he stole a bunch of other stuff and ended up releasing it"
"What did he release"
"It's actually classified" 😂
Snowden is a national treasure. I hope one day we can bring him home.
Snowdon will be hanging boy 😂
Me too.
I hope he'll return one day to run as president of this leaderless country. Presidents can have dual citizenship, can't they?
A "treasure" helping our enemy against us. That's a Traitor to me.
@maryhalverson5713 if he comes back, I hope he goes straight to a high security prison.
Snowden is a world real hero, we thank him for what he has done.
Oh yeah? What about all the dirty secrets that go on between even worse Intelligence agencies? FSB, GRU, MI6? Stop mouth breathing.
I also Thank him for his bravery , BS government dont want show real hero , they wanna portrait them as an scums and traitors....even Muhammad Ali also they wanna portrait him as an coward, because he didnt wanna put his head for unnecesary killing , people in jungle
How?
What so heroic did he do?
Really wrong
The fact that this man doesn’t know Snowden never even made it to Ecuador…
Once in the CIA, always in the CIA. He should have been called on this propaganda BS in realtime. Snowdon handed over all the documents to Greenwald in Hong Kong.
He doesn’t know anything that the US government hasn’t told him. He’s a puppet.
Exactly my thought. The notion he puts forward that Snowden used the secrets in his possession to “buy his next plane ticket” is laughable. Snowden fled Hong Kong because he had no other option, and was frozen in place in Moscow by the state department after cancelling his passport.
He could be lying about that
CIA and lying in the same sentence go together like peas and carrots.
so, asking a criminal why the guy that blew the lid off their criminality, is a criminal? lol...
Snowden did the right thing entirely. He is a true Patriot.
Except he stole the source code, he didn’t just show Americans what is happening. He made himself more than a body…
@@db876ff ……he had to. I would’ve done the same thing. I love the USA. I do not love the dishonest and malevolent of Homeland Security, which is being against us, when it was intended for al-Qaeda and the like. Thank you Obama
@@Wanamaker1946 no one has to do anything, but he did. He made it harder for the next guy to do the same. And he helping other countries build the same system
@@db876ffGood
He's a traitor and he'll be executed for his crimes.
"former"
THIS. This dude has it engrained in his. I mean its good people are having him on so we can see more of the BS.
FORMER. THANK YOU.
Once a glowie always a glowie
Like I trust any US government agency.
Pick the road less traveled, he literally picked a fight with the Us government, the world police, and is still free… that’s right there is a patriot
Everything Snowden did took BALLS. Whish all you cia operatives had a pair too
Once cia always cia
So you're telling me that Edward Snowden went out there and besides gathering information that was important for the thing he was constitutionally mandated to do, he took a bunch of extra information that he wasn't supposed to?
Wait, what was the NSA mad about again?
This dude is a cia propagandist.
@@TheHandsomeOne Very good point.
@@SJ-co6nk watch the latest video in the channel 'the hated one' . He dived deep on this guy.
@@TheHandsomeOne holy moly what a weirdo. He says "if you don't want to be spied on in the US by the cia, then leave" uh...... The US is literally the only country that you are constitutionally mandated not to spy on, this glowie is going to have to explain exactly which country you move to in order to not be spied on by the CIA.
Haha I see the dry sarcasm in your comment 🤣
The fact that the CIA & NSA are mad that he collected information he wasn't entitled to is just ironic 😅
Russian interest?
seriously?
Edward did something good, and Russia just so happens to defend him.
Edward is innocent
Well, knowing Putin and Russia it's clear he would not protect him just out of the goodness of his heart.
(That he doesn't have).
If you belong Ecevit, you're naive.
Everything else: I fully support Snowden.
This guy is no CIA spy. Maybe he was a janitor in the building.
They're the riskiest ones, the gray man.
He definitely was CIA, or even is one still. Lying about this is illegal. He would be in jail if he was lying
@@Milo19970 are you dizzy? Their whole job is to lie.
Yep, he looks like a surfer.
@@mechminded2207 Yeah to the public. The government knows that they are a spy
So if this is true why did he have to keep running from place to place giving little bits of information to buy a plane ticket? Kind of ignoring the fact he was wanted for blowing the whistle on the gov harvesting all information on their citizens
His response seems more emotional than anything rooted in fact
Its a lie. I've followed the case since the beginning and at no point other than this man's allegation, that this is (or was) the case. Furthermore, his passport was revoked while in transit to S America via Russia hence he was forced there. The guys full of shit spin.
"Why you running?" Meme. Bish, you chasin'.
@@mechminded2207 lol
He didn't. Every thing sude just said was a lie. I am not going to judge whether or not Snowden is a traitor or hero but I do no that he never made it to Ecuador. He left his hotel in Hong Kong trying to fly to Ecuador to get the same Asylum deal that Asange got only he never made it to Ecuador because US State Dept flagged his passport so they were 100% responsible for him being stuck in Russia. As to him giving up stuff, he maintains that he gave up all his stolen date to the Jouralists from the Guardian so he had nothing on him to give anyone and he did that quite intentionally so that no foreign intelligence Agency could coerce him into giving stuff up because he had nothing to give. It's impossible to know the truth of that one way or the other. The Jouralists confirmed his story and the Russians say he has given them nothing but that is of course exactly what they would say even if he had. It's possible that the Agency is trying to set him up to look like a Spy instead of a Wistle Blower by bolstering their case with crimes he didn't actually committ.( Pretty unnecessary as they already have him for violations of The Espianoge Act reguardless of weather he actually gave anything to the Rissians or not. Just his unauthorized access and theft and removal of the classified intelligence alone he is looking at 30 years easy..They could be trying to go for a death penalty but they have only ever executed two people under that act, the Rosenbergs. He knew he was breaking the law when he did it and was willing to go to prison to get the information out..The only reason he has stayed in Russia is that he wants to be able to tell his side of the story and the Espianoge Act does not allow for that. It's you either did it or you didnt and it allows no mitigation what so ever. I do believe that even if what he did was heroic and patriotic he still should go to prison. Sometimes these things aren't mutually exclusive. I also believe however the Clinton's, Berennen and Clapper should be sharing a cell with him. Hillary comitted essentially the same crime and yet she wasn't even charged at all.
I will never be an intelligence analyst since the CIA is clearly not serving the interest of it's own homeland.
You're not smart enough to become one 😂
Oh that guy that showed the world American war crimes. ..aye ok.
When he says that's what's got people upset, he means the villains installing dictators in other countries and making money and human trafficking off it
This guy is a joke and is doin his rounds an podcasts
He's pathetic. He's could be bffs with Kaepernick.
its classified. lost me there. classified means you dont know about them.
Classified means its Classified. You'd be surprised by how much tame sh#t that can still get you hemmed up. The government doesn't want anyone with prior clearance talking about anything.
Classified means it can't be mentioned in public!
He had all kinds of other information? And how do you know that? And even more importantly why should we believe Mr. CIA man here? Like I would trust the word of anyone in the CIA.
I thought you were cool.
That time has passed.
What are some of those secrets?
It remains classified
Translation:
Give me an example
“I don’t have one”
Snowden did nothing wrong.
I can’t imagine why a person the IC wants to neutralize would have insurance.
What kills me about Eddie is that what he told the world about isn’t even a thought in most people’s head because not only are they listening to everything, every single person who isn’t off the grid like Gene Hackman has a file on a server and the data size just keeps growing.
Wow he's so lucky to live in Russia now, freest country in the whole of the world 😂
Snowden is a hero
Prove it.
Yeah, whatever you say, glowie...
Stop posting segments of this fool please, seriously considering to unfollow you now despite the other good content!
The other stuff was things like incorporation of tracking chips on computers exported from the U.S., which China started doing 3 years ago.
Let's ask a professional liar what happened
