Dr. Michael Salla Update: Snowden Movie Misses Key Purpose of NSA Spying – Monitoring CIA Covert Operations (VIDEOES) (Blogger: In other news -- Just wanna mention, on January 16, 2017, RT (formerly Russia Today), just posted that " .. Donald Trump branded outgoing CIA chief Brennan “the leaker of fake news” after he told Trump to grasp the “Russia threat” instead of “talking and tweeting,” stirring up another feud between the incoming administration and the intelligence community..". We already know, Obama refuses to pardon Edward Snowden and Tump's pick for CIA chief says he wants to 'kill' Snowden.. ".. Pardonsnowden: On January 13, 2017, the Pardon Snowden campaign delivered more than 1 million signatures to the White House, from people asking President Obama to pardon Edward Snowden. This letter, from the heads of the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, accompanied the signatures..".. WikiLeaks says Julian Assange ‘Will Agree to Extradition’ if Chelsea Manning Is released..".. Lets all pray for Assange, Snowden, Chelsea and so many others who serve humanity, but are hunted by intelligence agencies and our “Privileged Ruling Elite - NWO”. It must be our obsession finding ways to enforce human rights norms, statutory free speech and to ensure the government body uphold the Constitution and law to protect whistleblowers(protection act of 1989 whistleblower, protection enhancement act of 2012).. Edward Snowden’s claim that he had ‘no proper channels’ for protection as a whistleblower.. ".. Dr. Michael Salla: If the above analysis is correct, what this suggests is that Snowden is at best an unwitting dupe manipulated by the CIA, or at worst a CIA mole whose real mission was to impact NSA intelligence gathering operations which pose a threat to CIA covert operations. It is understandable that if the U.S. military intelligence community was aware of the full extent of CIA operations involving sabotage, blackmail, false flag events, assassination, in the U.S. and around the world, that some of these operations would be neutralized. This is especially significant when it comes to the incoming inauguration ceremony of President Trump..")

The movie Snowden by Oliver Stone performs a masterful job in depicting efforts by the National Security Agency (NSA) in comprehensively gathering up electronic communications between people and organizations in the U.S. and all over the world. Stone correctly displays the routine violation of U.S. constitutional rights such practices entail, and why Edward Snowden was motivated to become a whistleblower and leak official state secrets to journalists in order to reveal what was happening.

The movie frames the core issue raised by Snowden as personal privacy being a right protected by the US Constitution, except in cases where courts grant exceptions due to criminal activities or national security. In the case of the NSA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) had become a judicial rubber stamp for NSA spying. Snowden, however, revealed that personal privacy is routinely violated without any FISA court rulings, and with no transparency and accountability in the process used by the NSA and the intelligence community more generally.

Subsequently, journalists such as Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras have seen their careers skyrocket as a result of their coverage of Snowden’s releases, and the need to curtail state sanctioned violations of personal privacy on spurious national security grounds. In short, the NSA and intelligence community should not be allowed to spy on private citizens without solid legal justification.

This raises the question of why is the NSA and the intelligence community spying on private citizens, and violating U.S. constitutional norms in the process? What Snowden the movie suggests is that the “war on terror”, which is used to justify individual surveillance, is a mere figleaf for more long-term cyber threats posed by China and Russia, and the need to give U.S. corporations a competitive edge against international rivals.
