Is Edward Snowden a Soviet…err Russian Spy?

Is Edward Snowden a Soviet…err Russian Spy?

Before we explore that question, let us remember that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is a trained former Soviet KGB officer, a trained espionage agent, a trained spy master, a man of dark manipulations.

A KGB agent is trained in more than tactics; he is trained to hone his instincts, to be able to see a historical opportunity, and then seize that historical opportunity.

It is the position of this Blog that President Putin sees a historical opportunity, to Reverse the Reagan victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. (Answering Harvey Fierstein: “Why is Putin Going Nazi on Russia’s Gays?” Putin Intends to Reverse the Outcome of the Cold War‏…http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2013/08/answering-harvey-fierstein-why-is-putin.html

Recently Mike Rogers, the Congressman who is  head of the House Intelligence Committee and Michael Morrell, the most visible former CIA Deputy Director ever, intimated that  Edward Snowden, the contractor who leaked the secrets of the National Security Agency was not an altruistic   Paladin of American Privacy but a  Soviet  ….err Russian spy.

“House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers(R-MICH) said Sunday that former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden may have received help from Russian Intelligence in stealing and leaking thousands of classified files, many of which the lawmaker said compromised U.S. military operations.

…Many of the thousands of computer files that Snowden copied from the Agency’s computer servers related not only to surveillance programs, but  also to U.S. military operations, some of which now have to be ended, Rogers added.

Rogers said this month that a damage assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency indicated that most of the estimated 1.7 million classified documents that officials say Snowden copied from NSA computers involved military operations.

Michael Morrell a former CIA Deputy Director …agreed that Russia’s Intelligence network might be assisting Snowden.

“The disclosures that have been coming recently are very sophisticated in their  content and sophisticated in their timing, almost too sophisticated for Mr. Snowden to be deciding on his own….Los Angeles Times.”

If Snowden were a spy, why would he do it?

Money? Was Snowden a spy like the Falcon and the Snowman or Aldrich Ames, or Alfred Redl (“He was paid well for his services, and had a lifestyle far above what his official salary could cover”) -doing it for money?.

Snowden already was making a lot of money when he absconded or defected, roughly $200,000 a year, placing him in the category of the vaunted 1%. He already had a hot paramour, a lovely female pole dancer, who was oblivious to his extracurricular activities and whom he left behind when he took flight.

The American Intelligence Apparatus, Mr. Morrell included, was CLUELESS about Mr. Snowden’s activities; so Snowden technically did not take flight, he just left.  Mr. Snowden could have stayed and pumped more NSA secrets, but he left at his time of choosing.

People who spy for monetary reasons, usually stay spying until they are caught, for they want to get as much financial rewards as they can; they get greedy.  If it was just for accumulating profit , and American  Counter Intelligence was clueless ( as it was), Mr. Snowden would have remained at his Hawaiian based NSA connected,  computer site a lot longer, working his Golden Goose vein of riches.

If he is a spy, then it seems that Mr. Snowden stayed until  he got the information, not the money,  he wanted, and left. If he is a spy, Mr. Snowden was not after buckets of money but specific information, and stayed until he got it. Information not money was his goal.

Which means that if Mr. Snowden is a spy, he is a spy not for money but for ideology.If Mr. Snowden is a spy, he is not Alfred Redl but Colonel  Oleg Vladimirovich Penkovsky, the Soviet Colonel who sacrificed his life by betraying the Soviet Union because he believed in the validity of American democracy.

Therefore, if Snowden is an ideological spy, what ideology is he spying for?

What ideology does authoritarian, pseudo theocratic Russia have that current Liberal America, on MSNBC's right side of history, does not?

What ideology does Russia have that America does not? It certainly is not Democracy or Capitalism.

Only one ideology fits the paradigm; seemingly Russia’s alluring ideology is its ideology of anti-Gay Rights. If Snowden is an ideological spy it is because he does not want pro-Gay America to triumph.

And if Snowden is an anti-Gay ideologue willing to betray his country then the logic is that there are more.

The ramifications of that statement are enormous; if true, it means that ex KGB agent  Vladimir Putin has established a cabal, a Fifth Column, of anti-Gay operatives in the American Military and Intelligence Communities, comprising of Evangelical Christians, Traditional Catholics, Muslims, Orthodox and plain homophobes.  It also means that NATO is at risk because of the anti-Gay Rights world view fermenting and congealing  in the Militaries  and Intelligence Communities of NATO partners: France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania  and Poland.

The following question must be asked: If Snowden was acting as a spy because of an Anti-Gay ideology,  why would he leak his NSA information to Glenn Greenwald, an  avatar for Privacy Rights and a well known Gay?

All former KGB agents know that  Great Espionage is like a  Magic Trick, misdirection is vital. What better way to misdirect the American cognoscenti from discovering a cabal of  anti-Gay, pro Russian  spies in the American Military and Intelligence apparatus than by giving 1% of the information you have stolen to a Gay Activist, while giving  99% of 1.7 million files  ( that is 1, 683,000 files) you have stolen on the American  Military to a resurgent  Russia, advocating a Western Civilization last stand against Gay Rights?

This much we can surmise with  startling accuracy: President Putin sees in President Obama a community organizer with a feminine skill set, (Russian Speculation About What President Putin REALLY Thinks of President Obama's Masculine Spirituality http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2013/09/russian-speculation-about-what.htm) and he sees America in the Age of Obama as a nation, a Republic, an Empire ripe for diminishment, devolution and dismemberment.

America should never underestimate President Putin not thinking big.

Putin thinks that America, Pax Americana itself,  under the stewardship of President  Obama, can be had, and that opposition to Gay Rights is the wedge issue to accomplish that.

One footnote, how can President Obama be accused of having a feminine skill set when he ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden?  Putin feels that that order could have been given by Czarina Alexandra, Marie Antoinette, Bloody Mary of England, Mary-Queen of Scots, so ordering a killing is not outside a feminine skill set. What is outside a feminine skill set is maintaining the loyalty of one’s army and intelligence apparatus…..President Putin believes that  President Obama lacks the masculine skill set of Queen Elizabeth, Margaret Thatcher,or Catherine the Great.

As a man of instinct, President Putin believes the community organizer is at risk; and with 1, 683,000 files on the American Military in his vault, the man of instinct believes he has the edge.

Vladimir Putin, the man of instinct and history
