Snowden drops bombshell about China

reply to post by neo96


Better than us at......?
They steal Military secrets better then us compared to how much we have to spend on espionage a year.

lol

I wouldn't worry about the apologists. They are just so frustrated with life that they crap where they eat.

Saying a monster like China is anything benevolent is asinine. They have a comparable death toll to the US, just of their own people instead of foreign combatants like the US.

Also none of the apologists notice that China is not stealing water filtration technology. They like MILITARY secrets and industrial secrets which could be applied militarily or to harm our economy.

But, no....poor China.

It is not that we try to asses how much they steal and sabotage their efforts....no

...We steal from them because they are really innovative......That`s it.

Snowden, a 29-year-old American who blew the whistle on the US National Security Agency’s surveillance program, said he believed there had been more than 61,000 NSA hacking operations globally, with hundreds of targets in Hong Kong and on the mainland

Liu said China would need to invent its own IPv6 identification system, or computer operating system that would be equivalent to the Windows system.

Hmm.. this is an interesting idea from China. Maybe they will just use a giant Network Address Translation for their country.

If Snowden had stayed in the US and simply protested domestic surveillance then I might have had some sympathy for him ; even though I would have thought he was a misguided idealist.

But to sit in Chinese territory giving details of US hacking just makes him an out and out traitor.

The Chinese already know all our secrets. We let them walk away from Los Alamos with them.

This guy better have a little more info than he has given so far.

And why go to Chinese Territory? Either this kid is real messed up.

Or something else is going on here.

The only useful thing he could know that would have China protect him, is if he had knowledge on the weather warfare program going on.

Other than that, China wouldn't have any interest in him. I bet all the guys working in Intelligence are going to get implanted with nano-tech to give the US of A the ability to remotely.....turn off....people that open their mouths.

I would be more surprised if they weren't spying on China. They're spying on a lot of nations, including allies and vice versa.

The thing is though we are told that the Government has nothing to hide, yet they hate whistleblowers. Hmmm.

Moral of the story:

Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house.



I guess the US government has forgotten that important tidbit of knowledge.


"When you point a finger, there are three fingers pointing back at you."

The timing is very convenient for the Chinese.

Wonder how long Snowden has been working for them?

This is nothing new and the response from China and the U.S. will always be the same...

All talk, no action...unless it's a virus popping up somewhere to deter hacking. That's as close to a response as we're ever going to give.

From two years ago...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon, trying to create a formal strategy to deter cyberattacks on the United States, plans to issue a new strategy soon declaring that a computer attack from a foreign nation can be considered an act of war that may result in a military response.

He's NOT...

He is trying to EXPOSE traitors and the truth about what is really going on behind the facade.

Is it more treasonous to violate the Constitution or to expose those violations?

The term "whistle-blower" has been used broadly by his defenders, including Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reporter who first published documents provided by Snowden detailing the PRISM program to monitor the phone calls and emails of U.S. citizens.

"Every time there's a whistle-blower, somebody who exposes government wrongdoing, the tactic of the government is to try and demonize them as a traitor," Greenwald told ABC News'

Now all we need are some rape claims.
Really hope that Americans have learnt how this goes by now.

Meh, China doesn't need to hack the world's computers to steal money for it's economy. Chinese currency farmers do it 24/7 in the video game world in MMORPG games like World of Warcraft all the time, while americans and europeans and people all over the world pay real money for digital video game b.s. and it's completely legal and they've been doing it for what about 15 years now? Makes you wonder how much money has been funneled out of our nation in the video gaming industry.

You have a whole list of people who would be tied into spying there. From Cintons daughter to the COO of Facebook, And how about ole Bobby Jindal. Mckinsey & Company, Inc specialist in outsourcing our internet and software to other countries in order to flood them with NSA spyware.

How about US company aiding Syria and Iran with software to spy on there own citizens? They found out the software was getting regular updates from the US C&Cs. But I am sure it had some viruses. Just like Halliburton and Koch Industries selling all that equipment to Iran to build the nuclear plant that had STUXnet built in from thee factory specially for them.

You don't "plant a spy" by drawing so much attention to him that no government would want to go near him.

As for digging a deeper hole for himself, I don't think digging deeper will change anything. We have seen the result of intelligence leakers such as Bradley Manning. No matter the sensitivity of the information, there is going to be a witch hunt.

I really don't know how this is a story. All countries able to hack into other countries computers to gain an advantage of any type do so. U.S. is not innocent. Nor China, Japan, India, Russia, Iran, etc. et al.

Any story that tries to paint the U.S. as demons and the rest of the world as angels really makes me chuckle. ALL countries and their governments have blood on their hands. Espionage is the name of the game. Stop acting as if the U.S. is some evil monster, while other countries are angelic.

I am not suprised, China actually has a whole part of military just to hack foreign networks. Even companies are hacked by the military just to get the domestic companies ones stronger onto the market, just becuase the wars will be fought economically

I find it hilarious this guy is being labeled a traitor.

Aren't traitors people who help the enemy out?

If he is helping Americans by letting us know the government is spying on us, wouldn't that mean the government sees the American people as the enemy?

Oh the irony! Our government is a complete JOKE!

Snowden is a little white lie that the propaganda machine is using to promote telling the public what it wants the public to hear. Otherwise the media groups, many run by people with security clearances that come from places like the NSA, would not say a thing. They would write him off as a nutbar if he had lots of merit that could damage the country's reputation.

They're going to heap so many rumors on him that you'd think it was a tabloid. Snowden says there are aliens in washington DC. Snowden says he knows who shot Kennedy. Snowden knows where to find the body of Jimmy Hoffa. Snowden tells you what's inside the Bermuda Triangle.

Snowden says the USA hacks China. No duh. But there is hearsay and there is evidence, which is necessary for those international courts that nations like to throw at one another. The USA's most formal response would likely to write him off as a defector and charge him as such...or what is their first response to silence someone? The psych-out, he's crazy, don't believe him. So why do they propagate his message? To spite him personally? Maybe he is an actor like in other media campaigns about national security.

Here is the problem. At the moment the running security is the status quo even though it's not so legal. People who would want to rip out the corruption are likely to be labeled counter-US, and then there's the new watch list for the newer more invasive secret programs not yet disclosed. So following Snowden who is going to be typecast the revolutionary, and the people who follow the little white lie will find themselves with the evil eye on them.
