Ed Snowden: US Government “Could Have Prevented 9/11”

Authored by Vic Bishop via WakingTimes.com,

Since 2013 the real government whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has been in political asylum in Russia, where he continues to write books and tell his story of how as an employee of the NSA he discovered that the government was breaking the law in constructing a massive surveillance state. Today, the surveillance is such a ubiquitous par of our lives, that people have come to see it as a normal part of everyday life, and hardly any politician bothers to work against it. It’s here to stay, sadly.

Recently, Snowden published a book entitled Permanent Record, which was immediately attacked by the US government, prompting them to sue Snowden for all of the profits related to the book. The government does not want you to hear his message. Ironically, though, Permanent Record became an instant bestseller, and Snowden’s popularity has only increased in recent years.

In a newly released podcast by Joe Rogan, Snowden calls in from Russia, talking about his understanding of how corruption from within has led the permanent establishment of the massive and highly profitable surveillance state which has filled the coffers of defense contractors and corrupt politicians. Snowden discusses the fact that all three branches of the U.S government are corrupt and that for admirable government employees who witness government agencies breaking the law have no available channels to blow the whistle and get the truth out to the American people.

Interestingly, in the podcast Snowden also talks about his experience on 9/11 when he was working for a small business out of a house on Fort Meade near the DC metro area. He describes how the base, which is home to a vast portion of the U.S. Military’s intelligence apparatus, was immediately dispatched and the base cleared as soon as the events of the day began to unfold.

Snowden points out how strange this was, considering that all of the personnel on the base would have been more than willing to take the risk of being attacked in order to fulfill the duty they has all signed up for, that of protecting the American people. Snowden’s point here is that the intelligence agencies were essentially taken off-line at the most critical moment in the entire history of their existence.

So, why did the directors of these agencies send all of these resources home on 9/11?

Snowden continues…

“It says so much about the bureaucratic character of how the government works. The people who rise to the top of these governments. It’s about risk management for them. It’s about never being criticized for something…

Everybody wants to believe in conspiracy theories because it helps life make sense. It helps us believe that somebody is in control… that somebody is calling the shots, that these things all happen for a reason. There are real conspiracies… but when you look back at the 9/11 report and when you look back at the history of what actually happened, what we can prove. Not on what we can speculate on, but what are at least are the commonly agreed facts… it’s very clear to me, as someone who worked in the intelligence community… that these attacks could have been prevented.

He goes on to explain that the government’s excuse for not preventing the attacks was essentially due to the fact that the various intelligence agencies were unable to effectively share information, coordinate investigations, and work together. Snowden is implying that 9/11 was essentially allowed to happen so that the mass surveillance state, which is insanely profitable to certain people, could be created. And it has since been created.

Considering that the Patriot Act soon followed 9/11, and in the nearly two decades since, the massive warfare and surveillance state continues to balloon and spread its reach into American citizen’s lives and around the globe, Snowden’s assessment seems rather accurate.

The full interview is almost 3 hours long, and is posted in full here:

I agree, he is part of the problem.
His words on this 9/11event, prove he is still working for the company.

anyone with a thinking brain understands:

The attacks could have been prevented,
if Larry Silverstien forgot to pay his insurance policy premium…

Anyone who has spent just a few hours looking at the evidence would agree. Think about that ! The highest authorities at the government allowed the murders of over 2700 Americans . Why ? For all the reasons above and more. The people who controlled the organizations that were taken off line ……why would any government allow a hostile ,alien tribe to control the technology that we used on 911 ? You do the research yourselves and see how many Jews were put in control of that technology that day. You will be shocked! It was a conspiracy between Neocons in the Bush Administration and Jewish intelligence agencies . Anyone who has spent any time researching this will come to the same conclusion . Southern Saga ( retired intelligence officer ) told us so last year if you remember. When you understand they are all working together to put us under a One World Government that must be in place before their Messiah the anti Christ to show his face . It must be in place for him to arrive. Research the secret societies . These people are part of these societies. Every one of them. This is why no one has went to jail for this crime or the 2008 financial meltdown . Those men who caused the meltdown were all part of Secret societies.

Take it one step further.

Did JFK really rail against secret societies, or did he pay it the necessary lip service before faking his death to rule in secret, above pretend Presidents, and above the law?

The most plausible explanation I’ve ever read is that the business plot of ’33 actually succeeded in ’45.

Not with the Warburgs or whoever, but Joe Kennedy Jr. whose daddy arranged for his death to be faked in ’43 (with a fake military plane crash filmed by Joe’s Hollywood connections of course) to get ready for the role of Hidden King.

Perhaps pretend Presidents are still kissing the rings of living Kennedy Kings to this very day before they are sworn in.

you would have to suppose tptb were aware something was in the wind concerning 911, and failed to act upon them for specific reasons, i’ve always thought as much

I have no interest in his opinions although I do regard him as a voice that needs to be heard. But in the end he’s an establishment man and will do their bidding-as he has already. Regarding the government’s complicity there are volumes that prove THEY knew. Corbett is my favorite. Here’s the 1st episode in a 5 part report.

Larry Silverstein buys a couple of asbestos laden buildings for 500 million , insurers them for 4.7$ billion and in no time the buildings crumble at free fall speed. Never happened before, anywhere in the world3. Thank god Larry had a dental appointment that fateful day( wink, wink).
Bushy, sitting in an elementary school classroom listening to story time. When told of jets crashing into NY towers he doesn’t look surprised, he looks like -firgd ( fuck, it’s really going down ). Business as usual.
I’m sure it happened just the way they told us (wink, wink).

they were rotten with asbestos. It was going to cost $millions to remove the crap and that’s why the building were essentially worthless. Plus, the occupancy rate was not very good. Bottom line, the Twin Towers were hot potatoes nobody wanted.

It’s worse than that. Lucky Larry put up $10M of his own money pooled with some other investors for a total of a little over $100M in late Spring 2001 to secure the lease, not ownership, from the Port Authority. This lease included the exclusive right to rebuild in the case of a terrorist attack. The complex, valued at $900M, was then insured by Lucky Larry for $3M. When two planes hit, he sued the insurance company for $6M, saying it was two terrorist attacks. They settled in the middle. To add insult to injury, Lucky Larry then convinced the Port Authority (dual citizens) to let him out of the original lease, getting just about all of his original investment back. It was all legit, legal, one hell of a coincidence and one of the greatest financial “investments” ever made, certified Chertoff (dual citizen) as well as the judge (dual citizen.) Oh, and Lucky Larry and his kids who all worked in the towers each had some unusual circumstance that kept them away from the towers that morning. What amazing luck!

FedGov could have prevented what agents, operatives and officials of FedGov did? An irony at the least, if not an actual oxymoron.

Come on people ever since Ruby Ridge , Waco and Oklahoma truck bomb there was always the obvious fact , something stinks !
The puzzle never fits until you connect dots between foreign policies the CFR den of thieves the TSA , NSA , CIA , FBI all overseen by Congress and what group or groups in the US benefit from a militarized police force nation wide and endless military conflicts pushed overseas . The body count in the US has not even started yet !
FORGET ME NOT
