NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said in a new interview published Thursday that sharing intimate nude photographs intercepted by the spy agency is a seen as a “fringe benefit” of the job.
“You’ve got young enlisted guys, 18-22 years old. They’ve suddenly been thrust into a position of extraordinary responsibility where they now have access to all of your private records,” Snowden said in a new video interview posted by the Guardian. “During the course of their daily work they stumble upon something that is completely unrelated to their work in any sort of necessary sense — for example, an intimate nude photo of someone of in a sexually compromising situation, but they’re extremely attractive.”
“So what they do? They turn around in their chair and show their co-worker — and their co-workers says, ‘Hey, that’s great, send it to Bill down the way.’ And then Bill sends to George, George sends it to Tom, and sooner or later this person’s whole life has been seen by all of these other people,” he continued.
Snowden said that he actually witnessed such behavior, saying it occurs “routine enough.”
“It’s never reported, no one ever knows about it because the auditing is so weak,” he added.
I pray and hope Christians are not doing these ungodly things but this goes to show you how our privacy has been taken away. In the name of security, western governments have taken a greater interest in surveillance of their own citizens. Total surveillance is key to developing the consolidation of power and control. It also blurs the U.S. Constitution’s privacy protections. The inquisition would have loved to have these capabilities. Worldly governments are preparing for the final crisis. They use terrorism as the reason for building their massive systems that will one day be used on another target; those who don’t go along with global religion. See Revelation 13:8. The United States is in the process of repudiating “every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government…” Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5 page 451. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
