They should have killed Snowden at all costs

The massively corrupt military industrial complex blew it. They let Snowden live to become a folk hero, the lone guy who “stuck it” to “the man” and lived to talk about it.  And boy is he talking!  He's doing interviews all over the place.  He is rapidly reaching legend status.  If you don't understand what I'm talking about, look at this!  

Below is the picture from that article and it shows Hero Snowden, much larger than life talking to a captivated audience of young people at the wildly popular South By South West (SXSW) event in Austin TX.  I know the making of  a folk hero when I see it and folks, I'm seeing it right here right now.

Snowden is the right guy at the right time in the right place with the right credibility and the right actions:

• He's young, good looking, extremely well spoken and speaks with a calm and strength and elegance that is beyond his years.  He is one of the young people, not some old man like Ron Paul who is much harder to listen to.  The powers that be would do very well to stop treating him as a threat and instead try to corrupt him and bring him on as the next control mechanism over young people.  Maybe it will happen (look how they got to Alan Greenspan...) but in this case I I doubt it.  Snowden will do well enough for himself as a defender of freedom and privacy.  He doesn't need the Dark Side and it's corruption.  He is the face of The Turning.
• He battled the dragons and survived.  That right there is worthy of a ton of respect.  Not even Bin Laden survived and he was in a damp hole for years.  It is RAPIDLY getting to the point where assassinating him will carry too much blow back to risk.  The murdering government should have been on top of this a lot quicker and should have cared about it a lot more.  This is a MUCH bigger deal than they imagined.  This is getting to the young people.   He might be able to organize and mobilize them into political action.  That is a real threat for the powers that be who count on ignorance, ambivalence and hopelessness of the young people to keep them from caring about elections.  Snowden is rapidly ascending into the position where he could literally change all of that and folks, I think he knows it.  I think he has seen or read enough classified documents about the propaganda, PsyOps and dirty tricks that he knows how this game is played.
• He carries a message of FREEDOM at a time when the government is working to pinch it off and to suspend the constitution in every way it can.  He is the ultimate activist.  He showed that one man can make a difference.
• He has emerged when the wealth gap between rich and poor has skyrocketed due to injections of money into the elite economy while doing nothing for the average working man.  Jobs for young people are scarce and when they get them the pay is low.  Soon I expect him to broaden his message to cover all of these areas.  He will use his security street cred to catapult him into credibility of money corruption, etc.
• He has the benefit of a tech savvy audience and he will use tech to get his message out in ways that were unheard of before.  He will leverage the "viral" nature of electronic communications and it will prove vastly more powerful than the dated methods used by the powers that be.  He understands the importance of doing this as well.
• He APPEARS to be incorruptible.   That is huge when all of our politicians talk out of both side of their mouths these days and nothing happens to them for it.  The 2 party system selects new leaders for us and sheeple don't know how to get out of the corral.  The corruption is so high in US government that a person who is apparently beyond corruption is like a lighthouse beacon.
• Remember, he walked away from his beautiful, young girlfriend.  It suggests that he cannot be corrupted by sex!  Woah!
• Remember, he walked away from his 6 figure salary.  Most young people only dream about that kind of income.  So it says he cannot be corrupted by money.  Double Woah!
• Whether the above are true or not does not matter!  It only matters that he can credibly state both are true and everyone will believe it because the herd is ready to believe it.
• The global debt Ponzi has entered the collapse phase.  That means that the powers that be will soon be exposed as the con men they are.  You know what that means??? POWER VACUUM!!!  It means that the people will be looking for new leaders.  Snowden could easily emerge as one of them.  Don't be surprised if he eventually comes back to the US to be viewed as a statesman.  The man is, in fact, a war hero in the war against crony capitalism. 

Having said all of the above I will also note that it's almost too good to be true.  Thus, despite my excitement about the matter, I am watching him with one suspicious eye.  If I were the powers that be, I would set up the people using just this kind of deal.  I'm not saying Snowden isn't real.  I currently refer to him as a Hero and I hope that never changes.  But since only the paranoid survive, one eye should be kept on him looking for signs that he never really left government service.  Again, I do not think that is the case and I wish him all the best but after we have been fooled so many times by some of the best con men ever to have walked the face of the Earth I'm sure you can understand why I cannot let my guard down ever again.  Oh yeah, one more thing: FVCK YOU, NSA!
