    Because the U.S. does so many toxic dirty things to the world from neutral countries, enemies to even their allies. They commit many crimes, make war, destroy humanity but are covered up by puppet nests. So E. Snowden, J. Assenge and others of conscience, they couldn’t stand by.
    To me, they are international heroes.

    I am in love with Edward Joseph Snowden. So smart to be truthful in life and know you are being truthful. I’d rather be hated by fools and be happy to live and be known as the one that was truthful. You are of value the United States of America is a joke. You aren’t missing anything here in the United States. The country isn’t George Washington days anymore. Everybody are cloned fools. Cellphone came out and irate stupid women design fourth nail a different color. Media talks now everyone stupid in fear with mask on. A lot of bad genetic sheep in the United States but you Edward Joseph Snowden will never regret your life.

    If we look with a single eye at the things that are forming in front of us, a single dimension will be formed for us, which is:
    External analysis of the nature of the verb form
    Without monitoring on depth, the pure actuator of action
    In the sense of smooth
    Monitoring external actions without knowing the internal and environmental motives behind these actions
    There is no educated person on this earth who believes and trusts modern technology as much as he deals with it as a hunter deals with prey or vice versa.
    The intellectual is often in the role of observer
    Wish you all the best.

Per mendimin e Zyres Politike qe perfaqesoj eshte se : Edward Snowden qe beri Tradhti te Larte ne Dem te Sh.B.A-ve duhet te dorezohet vete sepse per ta Eleminuar Fizikisht eshte kollaj, por duhet i gjalle ne Sh.B.A per tu gjykuar nga National Security Division, Department of Justice e te vuaje Denimin me burgim te perjetshem ne Sh.B.A ne Alkatraz or in a Guantanamo 🇺🇸

    The criminals are masterminds it’s almost the best genetics will win. Edward Joseph Snowden is the best genetics to be passed.

  26. The Tale Master on November 14, 2022 at 7:21 am

    Snowdon’s opening line about Williams’ phone being the "most expensive ‘burner’ I’ve ever seen" is *telling.*

    I’ve been illegally hacked for the past two years by a church organization. My phone, computer, and alexa devices have been hacked. They’ve had full access to my camera and microphone. (watched me in the bathroom and my bedroom and listened to private calls witn my lawyer therapist doctor and even an online funeral service) I’ve changed my number and replaced my devices but they managed to hack into those as well. My children family and friends were also hacked. I’ve called the police fbi and Representative Ted Lieu. I need evidence to bring justice. This has been a nightmare and if anyone can help in anyway I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

  29. BeamerBoy on November 14, 2022 at 7:22 am

    That’s true any cell phone you own could be hacked. These are the steps you could take. 1) Never store any sensitive data on your phone. 2) Never talk about anything sensitive around any cell phones. 3) If you are visited by a federal government and they want to ask you questions , you don’t need a lawyer to answer there questions before you answer any of there questions have them sign a legal federal affidavit which states anything you say cannot be used in court of law, they are not lawyers they’ll never sign such a affidavit, have them find a front door, the reason why I say that to sign a affidavit is that if you answer any of there questions without the legal affidavit they could turn back around and say you lied even tho you did not lie. Without evidence the written law cannot apply to you. If your charged without evidence that becomes a false arrest and false imprisonment case on them. Hacking problem solved legally lol.

    If Snowden was a Russian, it will be considered by Westerners as a fighthian fighter, but as it is the opposing it is a traitor to the nation

  31. SP on November 14, 2022 at 7:27 am

    We should be scared of our our people not the Chinese or Russians

  32. DIVIDED USA on November 14, 2022 at 7:27 am

    Let me run that back in layman’s terms in plain English for those that didn’t understand what he said… They can and will tap your phone regardless of reasons or excuses and justifications

    Snowden is a true American hero!!

  36. Lee on November 14, 2022 at 7:30 am

    But how USA don’t know about 9/11 and plane crash on pantagon, why they don’t know Usama bin laden for years without internal person help, why they lost in Afghanistan and plead help to taliban for safety exit of American soldiers. Why why why???

  37. Norberto Rivera on November 14, 2022 at 7:33 am

    Hero

  38. Victoria F on November 14, 2022 at 7:33 am

    Anything can be hacked with enough effort.

    But don’t worry, the avarage normie watching this video, the intelligence agency’s don’t care about you enough to spend countless hours infiltrating your devices and conducting surveillance on you.

    They get your account numbers passwords invasion of privacy

    Wow, it took 7 years for the media to prove that Snowden was true about this one too. #Pegasus

  42. Lightbearer.94 on November 14, 2022 at 7:36 am

  43. Grace™The Essential Worker.. on November 14, 2022 at 7:37 am

    what could the pharmaceutical companies do that is perhaps the missed market.. Alexa is a dirty little gain a function opportunist..

  44. Ruthie P on November 14, 2022 at 7:37 am

    NSA was created to listen and to track conversations from GERMANY TO AMERICA AND FROM AMERIKA TO GERMANY specifically for this was the NSA made and no other country MR Snowden. G.W.Bush was President when the NSA was created. Do you remember what the purpose and reason for Germany and AMERIKA to have done such monitoring? I can say it, but why don’t you indulge your audience once with the appropriate description and also explain why you would know the answer to the specific question. You should know after all you were in contact with the CG in Germany at the time. I’d like to hear your explanation Sir.

    if this dude was really anti-government, you think youtube would be allowed to broadcast what he’s saying ALL THE TIME??

  47. Afro Samurai on November 14, 2022 at 7:40 am

    Can’t hack unless you allow the malicious software to be installed. Most phone users have no idea and click links or other messages and allow the hacking software to be installed.
