So THAT's why he's still alive.

Spies worry over "doomsday" cache stashed by ex-NSA contractor Snowden

One source described the cache of still unpublished material as Snowden's "insurance policy" against arrest or physical harm.

U.S. officials and other sources said only a small proportion of the classified material Snowden downloaded during stints as a contract systems administrator for NSA has been made public. Some Obama Administration officials have said privately that Snowden downloaded enough material to fuel two more years of news stories.

"The worst is yet to come," said one former U.S. official who follows the investigation closely.

Well, we'll see. Since most of the data is being held by Glenn Greenwald, and he just quit the Guardian to start what's being touted as the next generation of investigative journalism reporting, by virtue of joining forces with other well known investigative journalists, in a $250mil publishing venture funded by the ebay/Paypay conglomerate founder, Pierre Omidyar.

However, lots of people are pissed about the drip drip drip of Greenwalds releases of Snowdens files, and given that Eric Holder just issued a statement saying he would not prosecute Greenwald..UNLESS other information regarding Greenwalds relationship to Snowden shows up, which could mean anything. This entire thing could blowup in Greenwalds face as Paypal was instrumental in the takedown of the Wikileaks donation transfer system, of which Greenwald made such a fuss about a couple of years ago, which to some observers, say will compromise Greenwalds reporting objectivity of his employers activities in other corporate spheres. Mainly..Microfunding..

That aside, given the extraordinary revelations so far, showing the NSA has been complicit in illegal mass surveillance of every human being on the planet by virtue of lying to Congress and manipulation of FISA court rulings, and the latest expose proving the FBI and other agencys have had access to NSA data, it wouldn't surprise me if there were documents showing blackmail, corporate use of financial surveillance data supplied to NSA corporate contractors like BoozAllen's umbrella owner..The Carlyle group which is one of the largest "investment" firms on the planet, and other things( like CIA complicity to overthrow other governments etc) that could literally expose the ruling class worldwide financial debauchery in collusion with the USG. However, I ain't holding my breath. I believe TPTB will do ANYTHING within their power to stop the REAL damaging revelations from occurring... ..including assassination of journalists or who ever. There is too much at stake for the Plutocracy. And given a "un-named USG official" has already said.."the worst is yet to come"..this tells me heads are exploding in WDC. In fact, at the onset of the revelations in June, the military expanded its "propaganda" arm 10 fold to marginalize each revelation as it occurred, and try they did...not to mention Feinstein/Rogers introducing new expansions of NSA power authorizations masquerading as "reform"..that is..until emptywheel(Marci Wheeler)exposed the truth. Thank you Marci Wheeler.
And then of course..we have Clappers.."least untruthful" lies to Congress..which was promptly swept under the Two Tiered Justice system rug while most of America simply yawned. Sad. No wonder this country is morally dead now.; November 26, 2013 at 7:52 AM

Hmmmmmmm. There must be many tines many secured copies..... Probably at least a few hundred or hundred thousand "Cyber Bombs" loaded deep within infrastructure which get released say a million or so times when bad things happen.

I can see why they would be worried. I bet that the media is quite worried as well, as all traitors should be. Alternative media is a real bitch. I bet they have at least diddled a bit, in their pampers.; November 26, 2013 at 9:20 AM

OpHatchAct2 said...: Couldn't agree more with commented who wrote above about .mil and non mil gov sock puppetry and social media propaganda staffel being expanded post Snowden leaks. A prof at the Naval War College John Schindler was leading this #TeamNSA TwitterSwarm (15,000 #NSA tweets by his own reckoning ir an average of 100 per day)until I and a few other folks finally filed some FOIAs and #HatchAct complaints regarding Schindler's lobbying against the Amash amendment on taxpayer time from his NWC offices. That, along with the exposing of his groupies as either authoritarian nutcases (like Catherine A. 'no more anonymity online, all individual encryption use is 'anarchist/terrorist/criminal because some Anons bullied me'' Fitzpatrick) or notorious libelers such as Charles 'Little Green Footbalks' Johnson.

However the longer this has gone on the more I realize Schindler is too stupid, vain and thin skinned (he constantly would provide my blog with traffic by linking to my Hatch Act complaint as 'tinfoilhat') to be anywhere close to being the brains behind #NSA's PR operations to defuse Snowden's revelations. And the man not only claims on his inflated resume to speak 11 languages, but also bragged in tweets that he participated in drone strike targeting.

Draw what conclusions from that which you will, my conclusion is that NSA's upper echelon prefers highly credentialed yes men, blowhards and hacks to genuinely clever analysts. On the positive side if NSA really is going to be DHS eyes and ears for Civil War 2, Big Sis's domestic army is going to be in big trouble.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
