   Trump To Pardon Edward Snowden?
   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-pardon-edward-snowden

  In surprising comments during an interview with the New York Post this 
week, President Trump mused: “There are a lot of people that think that he is 
not being treated fairly. I mean, I hear that.”

  He added: “Many people are on his side, I will say that. I don’t know 
him, never met him. But many people are on his side.”

  The comments, published in the Post Thursday, have unleashed widespread 
speculation that Trump could actually pardon whistleblower Edward Snowden at a 
moment political momentum is gaining from Republican-Libertarian voices in 
Congress.

  Suggesting something is already in the waters, Kentucky congressman 
Thomas Massie (R) called out Trump on Friday, tweeting simply, "Donald Trump 
should pardon Edward Snowden," while tagging both. 

  And Libertarian/Independent Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan tweeted 
in support for such a bold move from the president as well:

  Edward @Snowden is a whistleblower who exposed unconstitutional 
surveillance practices that violated the rights of millions. He deserves the 
opportunity to return to the United States and receive a pardon as part of a 
fair process that examines his actions. https://t.co/JqVccAYd41

Oh, baby, you do care.  You do care a lot about it, enough for always
provoking me or trying to hurt me in private.

For Darwin's sake, expose yourself a little in public, shy guy.  And learn
that people like me don't care about your opinion and all the other
opinions.

I was simply sharing an idea because we are having serious problems about
privacy in my country, specially in my city.  The government of my State is
doing something very bad, very wrong, with the support of all the Telecom
companies.

The inspiration was for myself and maybe for some people who wants to
help.  If it doesn't touch any heart, no problem, life goes on.  Life
_always_ goes on, without you, without me, without a lot of people...  Life
is Life.  It doesn't need you, me, Snowden, or anyone for existing.  And
that's its beauty...  <3

Hi, thank you from the bottom of my heart for pointing me things I should
have more attention on...  And sorry for not being a clever girl.  :P

Believe me, I really respect the confidentiality of my contacts.  Enough
for being arrested in an airport for it.  Enough for deleting the whole
content of my only good and trustful notebook, and broke it in several
little pieces, and throw them in a river to keep the privacy and the
secrets of only _two_ contacts of mine, before killing myself.  But I
survived and, after all the mess and the fire at home, Darwin has left me
live, but with no decent notebook.  That's the reason why I never shared a
privacy key here yet.  It would so trustful as nothing.

Hey, I live in South America, but it doesn't mean I am selling narcotics to
the USA!  I know North-Americans love them and some dollars would be very
useful, but it never was my wish...  I want to save people, not kill them.

You can judge my intelligence, my jokes, my musical taste, my bad English,
but please avoid to judge my character without knowing me a bit better.

You know I donate blood since my 18 years old birthday, the legal age for
begin to do it, no and I am still a repetition donator and will die being
one of them.  My blood shows a lot of things about me.  No AIDS, no sexual
diseases, no hepatitis type C, no promiscuity, no drugs.

I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't kill people and other animals,
stopped drinking soft drinks, still trying to stop being a veggie.  Left
the veganism, but I am veggie since I was a teenager and was considered
weird, like my piercings and tattoos, so it's "strange" to be so "ordinary"
now.

Ah, and even being a lawyer, I am f... poor.  You know what it means...  I
am honest, hahahaha!!!  ;D

I love you.  Thank you for being, Mr. Young!  <3

Bear in mind that leaker's information ages into less significance, 
other than historical, as sources respond to the leaks with 
replacements and innovations.


Leaks are left unchallenged, even promoted and initiated, by sources 
to serve as alluring camouflage for current operations.


Some wizards claim leaks and leakers were invented and sustained for 
this purpose. Prosecutons and demonization and publicity and 
legislation are tools of the deceptive ops.


FOIA a particularly manipulative technique, redactions and 
classification markings applied for verisimilitude. So too the tiny 
yellow dots and other traces.


Others: Encryption and anonymizers, drop boxes, whispers to journos, 
aggrieved insiders and loose-lipped contractors, inspector generals, 
congressional briefings, sex entrapments, privacy protection NGOs, 
hired and coerced bots, trolls and hackers, iimplants in hardware and 
software, compromised communcations and internet workers and admins, 
lawyers, priests, psychiatrists and other supposedly confidential advisers.
