What We Can and Must Do for Edward Snowden

[bemildred]

Edward Snowden is an American hero in real time. He is much more than just a story or an icon. Although mightily inconvenienced by the machinations of a government that appears to believe it possesses the authority to supersede the will of its democratic electorate, Edward Snowden is, at this moment, alive, well, and (relatively) free. It is imperative that he remain so.

It is understandably challenging for many of us, as we go about the routine of our everyday lives, to discern and empathize with the limitations and stresses that must be inherent in the existence of a stranded traveler in a foreign land, his liberty sustained only by the ironic particularity of his host country's willingness to abide by its own laws.

To reiterate: Edward Snowden's situation is not a spectator sport.

When he chose to travel to Hong Kong and reveal his identity as the whistleblower whose revelations exposed the true extent of NSA surveillance, Edward Snowden risked everything. He did this not solely for the purpose of being able to live with his own conscience: he acted in service to his country, for us, his countrymen. And we have responded to his courageous and visionary act. We have signed petitions. We have written articles and posted comments in his support. We have publicly declared our solidarity with him. But there is something more that we can and must do for Edward Snowden. We must be with him in spirit, in heart, in mind, in real time. And we must maintain within ourselves our best wishes and highest aspirations for his well-being and his future. We owe him that.

4. Snowden is something else

We the people should be concerned with awareness of sensitivity in your own thoughts or of others. The evidence is clearly here indentified by Snowden.

However rejected by the many especially politicians that swim in secrecy because it displays the bias division or simple advantage a few have in cognitive reasoning the majority will never have because Metadata files collected in such sweeping numbers fill the reasoning needed to take advantage of those who don’t know. Actually the building blocks of tyranny.

Think about it the children of tyrannical politicians on your tax dollar build their reasoning skills to project their social agenda. Because the more massive the data collected the more enhanced the cognitive reasoning skills adopted. I hope that scares the hell out of those who think Snowden is a fool, he is not fool, Snowden appears to be a very sensible man that can fathom the inner product the area and volume of this disaster.

Snowden is really a product of the fourth amendment:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or > affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

In its largest sense Snowden is witness giving affirmation here in that Snowden must distance himself from the very system he is supporting.

In other words, as some say Snowden is a freak is true in a legal sense the one percent media, mainstream media will deny Snowden is doing good.

Yet, Snowden can be considered what the statistical people call an outlier, a freaky happening that can be projected to a sigma 23 type.

For those in statistics know six sigma is very good, but there is always a chance for a higher power. One that completely brings down the too big to fail reasoning. It also is reasonable that the entire secret society, in government or public trade secrets are in lock down, worse demands by the public to be opened for inspection to be determined for profiteering.

Actually, the real law that needs to be drafted and ratified by the congress and the senate is a law designed to examine our current system that has been totally destroyed by both parties that is nothing more than profiteering via poor and middle class tax dollars. This metadata stuff is a direct hit at the corruption in the congress and the senate, plus the military industrial complex.

Although he seems to think he is an ordinary guy.
