He was also found guilty in 2023 of receiving, possessing and transporting child pornography
why cant libertarian types ever just do one good thing without also doing horrible shit like this
Sounds like this was just a personal revenge thing against the CIA for hiring an outside contractor instead of him. If you ping the soul detector at the front door they don't let you in the building in the first place.
Lmao. Literally one of the main reasons why you don’t hire mercenaries is because your regular troops will become jaded and kill you. NatSec is such a fucking grift industry that mfs forget how to cover their asses
His leaks basically confirm tech imperialism and the violation of digital sovereigty via export of nonfree software. Things like malware specifically designed for backdooring nonfree programs.
I'm glad that digital sovereignty is entering the conversation more and more in leftist circles.
Proprietary software is a paper tiger that can be defeated.
Do you think agencies like CNN or MSNBC would dare use the term “dystopian” to describe the US? Something about that word just seems like an escalation that sorta normalizes the leftish part of saying the quiet part out loud if that makes sense
CNN and MSNBC would never describe the US as anything but a paragon of "freedom" right after reporting on how a man was beaten to death by police for refusing to purchase Israeli anal lube
"Baton struck by brain tissue of non-compliant man in pleasure enhancing liquid incident claims Hamas run health Ministry."
Shit like this shows exactly why the US was so mad about Huawei in Europe but if you show it to a lib they'll just double down on CNN talking points.
please use a slightly more kosher and

how was he accessing child porn from jail?
this link isn't working for me
Like how Dylan Roof thinks he's going to be pardoned once a fascist comes into office, this guy will be pardoned when Bernie wins.
He was also watching child porn, so I doubt it.
A well known CIA smear tactic.
There’s no level that they won’t go to and it’s a human evil incomprehensible to me. Yet, we’re the crazy ones for pointing out their well-documented methods and admissions.
Most people will just chalk this up to the world not being fair and move on. How does anyone have freedom when an agency like this exists
It's a tough call tbh: on one hand, as others have pointed out, it fits the methods of the CIA attempting to discredit a whistleblower. On the other hand, nobody made him get that goatee.
All the more strange how Lee Harvey Oswald made it back into the US after defecting to the USSR.
Who needs to kill a cop to make the person being framed into an acceptable target when there are cyber weapons to just place CP on the target's devices instead
This implies that the CIA literally keeps a child porn stash at all times within easy access of most of it’s members
The snowdon leaks show 5 eyes agencies use rape allegations and other reputation destroying techniques when they need to discredit a target. CP is definitely in that arsenal.
Should've fled to beijing
Or the DPRK. He could've helped them out with their IT stuff.
based!?
there goes my hero
WATCH HIM AS HE GLOWS
You can see what a liberal actually believes about the US by seeing their approval of this
Im genuinely concerned I’ll get suicided if I press the Wikileaks link
He was just exercising 
in a totalitarian regime.
But was it useful information?
https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ - press release on Vault 7, the reveal of secret CIA hacking tools
This is from a 2016 breech... so kinda very old.
also....
CIA guy gets angry that CIA is going to outsource his job... releases a bunch of information.
Also... article mentions Child SA material that the dude may have been into (or maybe it was pedo-jacketing?)
