BERLIN - The U.S. National Security Agency (click here) is involved in industrial espionage and will grab any intelligence it can get its hands on regardless of its value to national security, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden told a German TV network.
In text released ahead of a lengthy interview to be broadcast on Sunday, ARD TV quoted Snowden saying the NSA does not limit its espionage to issues of national security and he cited German engineering firm, Siemens as one target....
Edward Snowden worked for the government before being hired by Carlyle. He didn't mind doing the work for the government, but, when he launched into a career with Carlyle for a six figure salary it opened his eyes to whom the USA actually was protecting and it wasn't just our borders.
In my opinion, Edward Snowden came to realize how manipulated Americans had become to the ambitions of corporations. He didn't expect to learn what he did when he went to the highest private bidder.
Oh. By the way. This practice by Wall Street. Companies like Carlyle. The practice by Wall Street hasn't ended. So when President Obama rolls back the invasiveness of the NSA he also needs to roll back the permission of Wall Street to do the same thing. We don't want any of it. NONE of it. We don't want Carlyle to invade our space either.
Edward was online recently. The video is at the website above.
