There's a lot to unpack for the Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV with the latest Pentagon hack, now that they have a suspect in custody, and TSV needed to first put out a PSA about not relying on your smartphone as a -sole- means of information about current events, which we did here the other day. TSV expects investigators to comb through Jack Texiera's (sp?) social media to find out whether he's either been in contact with Ed Snowden or with Snowden sympathists. TSV's not sure about Chelsea Manning, and as far as he knows Julian Assange is still in jail. But even if investigators don't find any Snowden links, it's clear to TSV that this hack would not have happened if Ed Snowden did not do -his- hacks 10 years ago, thereby making classified breaches more socially acceptable than pre-Snowden, propagandizing to young people that hacks and breaches are somehow a form of social service, biased in favor of 'you're being lied to' or 'you're being spied on,' or just plain 'the enemy has something to hide.' But TSV is encouraged that at least on audio he's not hearing sympathy for the suspect, but apparently also an awareness of how classified breaches are actually -dangerous- to the citizens of the free world. Not every breach is about the Pentagon Papers, and in fact TSV sees it as -the exception to the rule.- It looks as though foreign policy hawks like TSV are finally getting their message across 10 years later. See? The hawks told you so.
