#182 Conspiracy in Plain Sight (with Edward Snowden)

This week is an incredible episode with Edward Snowden! Edward Snowden is a renowned US whistleblower and former computer intelligence consultant who worked for CIA & NSA. He copied and leaked highly classified information from the NSA in 2013 when he was a CIA employee. His disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments He has written a book about his life called "Permanent Record”, which is available now. In this discussion Edward discusses the idea of being a called “hero” and difference between that and heroism. He speaks about his history and why he did what he did. We talk about the true power of the state, corporations and Big Tech, the popularity of conspiracy theories and how the real “conspiracies” and atrocities are occurring in plain sight. We don’t need to look far to find corruption.  Next week’s podcast will be with Marianne Williamson!
