(750 posts)Snowden revealed what society has endured for centuries. You mean there are secrets in profiteering going in the government that we the people dont know about ? Of course there are!
Blithely and merrily in disposition my views examine how careful we the people add fresh debate to an old saga in leadership exampled by the ancients:
Julius Caesar put together an elaborate spy network to keep himself apprised of the various plots against him. In fact, Caesar may have known about the Senate-led conspiracy that culminated in his assassination.

With that said many could think history repeats with Americas Senate or Congress conspirators. This history part is a well-known fact played out in time with the right circumstances America leadership using todays technology is ripe for history to repeat itself.
Ever since reading the book Secrets of the Kingdom by Gerald Posner, my intuitive outlook about our government took a turn to the corruption that is likely to exist.
Posner expressed an extraordinary illustration of greed, abuse of power and corruption that make Julius Caesar seem like a mythical being or legend surreal recast before us in unbelievable , fantastic theater via the mainstream media.
America has not made that transition through such a tragedy yet. Thats what is difficult for us today. The political liars that started secret charade likely did think it all was too big to fail, however, all through the previous history the Internet did not exist.
There is no recourse for those on top of this secret charade in government which probably started as an amusement thinking that it was too big to fail now find out the real We the people would rather not work for such a government.
Snowden is spectacular proof positive of a new age. My comparison could be a stretch but similar ways like that of Galileo, or Di Vinci brilliant men oppressed because they know the world was different and the governments back then dominated by religion lied its citizens.
Of course, toned down for the treachery in secrecy in genocides the Europeans endured by the tyrants through time. America is trying to peel away from this cancer in politics. Begs the question of how can it be reformed when the high-courts say the news media can lie in reporting news. America is pivoting at the precipice with those who think we are too big to fail.
