You forgot the big one - the international pedophile ring that's protected and covered up by "people in high places".

Sad that I thought the same thing.

Someday, some really terrible pics will come out, depicting former and current world leaders doing some terrible things. And millions of people will finally understand.

It can't come soon enough.

+1 and fixed.

I see exposing reality as peeling back layers of an onion. The Snowden-Greenwald narrative is one of the outer layers. People need to get what the NSA/CIA/FBI are doing before they can go deeper.

Sure is frustrating for those of us already half-way to the core though. And the longer this whole process of realization takes, the more locked down we'll be when all hell breaks loose.

Well said.

failed to prosecute? they actively helped the mexican drug gangs import drugs into the country, set up an encrypted radio network for them and all. it's just plain racketeering.

"Prosecute corrupt bankers, drug cartels, wall street, politicians & lobbyists, international pedophile ring, pharmaceutical companies, abuse of illegal immigrants, large food processors, etc... What has Snowden or Glenn Greenwald said about any of this?"

If you check Greenwald's column at Salon or The Guardian you'd see he talked about many of those subjects nonstop, particularly the lack of consequences for Wall St bankers and the banks that launder money for drug cartels

I get that you don't like Greenwald, but if you want to criticize him accurately you shouldn't attack him for not saying things that he, in fact, actually wrote about repeatedly.

Read my post again. My critique is of the corporate media. Not Glenn.

Those are your exact words. I responded to the bolded part.

I said "what have they said about it?". I didn't say they were lying sacks of shit. I'm not even saying what they said on the news is fake. What I am saying is that the media paints a picture in a certain manner that tends to side with a pro-gov't attitude. Again, my critique and main point of my post was to be critical of the manner in which the media has spun their story.

Yeah, and I answered that question -- they've actually said a lot about it if you bother to look.

You don't need to be condescending.... I know we're on Reddit, but I'm not apart of the hivemind. :)

but I feel like the part of your post that I quoted is essentially an innuendo driven smear ("What have they said about ___?")

Then your feeling would be wrong in this case... Check my previous posts/comments. I think what they are doing is a good thing. I'm sorry you felt like it was misleading when I simply asked a question.

I recommend reading some of his past columns at Salon. You might be surprised.

I'll check that out. I also downloaded his book.

I said the same thing bout the Nsa. If theyeve been storing all this info for ten years at the minimum, how did all those crimes happen in the ten years if that was the damn reason the Nsa has that power in the first place?

The sad reality is: If Snowden and Greenwald were going to release anything that would disrupt the status quo and have it to go into chaos, they would be dead right now.

They are both alive and doing well. Greenwald is able to to travel into and through the U.S. They are pawns for someone. We need to find out who.
