Splashed all over the mass media (or in some venues only), is a story about a 29-year-old guy who has supposedly leaked some documents from the NSA. Here are my thoughts about it.

In one way, I want to believe this “stunt” is real. In the other, knowing how the “intelligence” community works, this may just be another ploy of theirs to meet somekind of agenda.
To summarize what James Bond says in the interview, conducted by British newspaper The Guardian, Snowden (the name is suspiciously comical) claims that he worked as an IT guy for the NSA. I like the point he makes that government people are just people and that would lend itself to why bad things happen, because bad people do bad things, and if bad people are in government, then the government carries out bad things. Dude was having a guilty conscious witnessing it firsthand.
Why I think this could be staged is because they never go into what documents he leaked and whether or not those “classified” information were of importance. It seems very generic. And the fact that it gets covered by the press at all should be a good indicator that it could be staged, and the guy himself is an actor. If the system was that corrupt, and I don’t doubt that, then he wouldn’t even get this kind of screentime. If anyone understands anything about the nature of systems, nepotism, social oppression, they should know it’s not that easy to just point a finger and say, “That’s the culprit! He did it!” if that person has a network of people on his side, let alone people who run the show.
So James Bond is hiding out in Hong Kong, which isn’t so secret anymore, even though he’s suppose to be in hiding. The mention of the location alone is to trigger somekind of political fiasco. If this guy’s life was truly in danger, even the media outlets wouldn’t be stupid enough to compromise his location. This is another reason why this stunt might be staged. Is it meant to make Hong Kong look more free than America? Most likely. The irony is that it WILL NOT change anything, just like Snowden says.
People don’t give a fuck as long as they have their iPod. Oblivious. Don’t care. Rape their mind, space, and physical being. As long as they get their Superman, Batman, iPod, iPhone, whatever. And when the day comes when the government wrongs them, they just point to their material goods while reciting the Star Spangled Banner, as though, it makes the world a better place.
I’m a strong believer that if the so-called government really impeded on human rights, you are obligated to break every law that does that. We’ll see how their script plays out.
