The 29-year-old is a former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.

The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. “I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,” he said.

Snowden will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world’s most secretive organisations – the NSA.

  2. And here we are 10+yrs later and it's an event like never before, the thought of a separate military persay is trying to say that there is now a threat from Aliens, because this so called military is behind the facade of creating war ships descised as an evil alien, when in fact it isn't 😮
    Trying to find more info on this, eyes open people 👀🫂💗🌎

  3. if clues for soduku can be deduced better from partial reductions of 1's and 2's with a many 1's and 2's not just a few 1's then p might equal np or at least more problems could be solved in p time. Note all sudoku grids of 1's and 2's even if there's different rules for each row can be converted into 2 sat problems which can be solved in p time. that's where where i'd focus 1 exa flop of ai at.
