Exiled American whistleblower Edward Snowden has warned that the United States National Security Agency (NSA) is close to seizing control of the Internet.
Snowden, a former NSA contractor who famously leaked highly classified information from the agency in 2013, issued the warning in a post on X.
In his post, Snowden drew attention to a thread originally posted by Elizabeth Goitein.
Goitein, the co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, warned of a new bill that could see the U.S. government surveillance powers amplified to new levels.
Snowden warns that the new powers will see the NSA “taking over the internet.”
Weak nations have long been terrified at the power that the U.S. regime has to destroy them such as has happened most recently with the CIA’s and U.S. military’s efforts ever since 2012 to grab control over Syria’s Government, and such as what the U.S. regime did to Iraq in 2003 and in its ever-continuing military occupation there (all on the basis of lies), and such as it did to Libya, and to so many other weak nations.
Dysfunction and propaganda building an ugly “new normal”
