On September 26, Russian President Putin signed an order deciding to grant Russian citizenship to a number of non-Russians. In addition to former US President Reagan adviser Susan Massey , a more well-known and concerned name appears on the list - former CIA technical analyst, former US defense contractor employee, US "Prism Gate" whistleblower Edward Snowden .
Since the US "Prism" plan was exposed in 2013, Snowden is like a Water Margin hero who went to Liangshan and was "forced" by the United States to Russia. During the nine years he lived in Russia, Snowden kept submitting applications for Russian citizenship. Finally, Snowden was successfully naturalized, and this move by Russia is undoubtedly announcing to the world - Snowden, I am covering.
Speaking of Snowden, the legendary figure called "traitor number one" in the United States, from the loyal guardian of "Old America" to the leaker wanted by the US government for many years, what has he experienced? Those things about Snowden can't be finished with a plate or two of peanuts.
In his early years, Snowden was a "three good youth" who had great ambitions and dedicated himself to serving the country.
On June 21, 1983, Snowden was born in North Carolina, the United States. His grandfather was a major general of the Coast Guard, his father was also a Coast Guard officer, his mother was a judge of the District Court, and his sister was a lawyer at the Washington Justice Center.
was born into such a family, Snowden can be described as a "red roots", and his future is limitless.
At that time, the electronic information technology in the United States was developing rapidly. During Snowden's study, he was exposed to dense computer programming codes and became very interested, and began his self-learning journey of programming. In middle school, Snowden was able to use programs to find cyber vulnerabilities.
After completing high school courses, Snowden did not continue to university, but chose a community college, Anne Arundel Community College , to further study professional computer technology. In just two years of specialization, Snowden's computer skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he is becoming more and more obsessed with the virtual network world built by computers.
However, in 2001, the year of Snowden's adulthood, a terrifying plume of black smoke emerged from the US World Trade Center building, the "911" incident occurred, and a loud bang removed Snowden from a string of codes. Pull back to reality. At a young age, he began to think about his responsibilities, and immediately signed up to join the army to fight against terrorists.
At this time, he was full of pride in serving the country, but he didn't see who the real terrorist organization in the world was. In order to join the special forces , Snowden was unfortunately injured in high-intensity training resulting in broken legs, and had to retire early.
Snowden, who was a year old, refused to let go of his ideal of loyalty to the country, and began to think about how to combine his computer talent with his ambition to serve the country. NSA , this place is undoubtedly the best place for Snowden to realize his ideals.
did what he said, and Snowden immediately sent his resume to the NSA. With a reliable family background, Snowden successfully passed the background check and became a security guard of the NSA.
While working as a night guard at National Security Agency 's "Language Advanced Research Center", Snowden discovered an operating rule of the National Security Agency: Due to the rapid development of network technology, the technical personnel related to the National Security Agency are in short supply, and the National Security Agency chose to put these The intelligence technology work is handed over to outsourcing companies, and the staff of these companies are also transformed into NSA intelligence collectors.
With such a good opportunity in front of him, Snowden, who was unwilling to work as a security guard, resigned from public office and joined the ranks of outsourcing companies. With the high level of network technology, he was assigned to CIA for network service and repair work, he also has high access rights.
But what he didn't expect was that this access was the beginning of a collapse of his faith.
Snowden can use this privilege to freely access files stored in the CIA terminal server, which includes various secret files and intelligence sent by the CIA from all over the world. Seeing so much secret information, Snowden came up with a more thoughtful plan - go directly to the CIA!
Then, after submitting the application and participating in the training, everything went smoothly. Snowden successfully entered the CIA and was sent to work at Geneva.
is located in Geneva, the centralized node of the European optical fiber network. The United States has been conducting a large amount of intelligence collection work for a long time. Snowden also learned a set of standard procedures for American intelligence work.
A year later, Snowden ended his work in Geneva, re-entered the outsourcing company, and worked at , the military base of the US military stationed in Yokota, Japan. It was here that Snowden felt uneasy for the first time.
At this time, he can log into two internal intelligence network systems of the CIA and the National Security Agency at the same time. While browsing a large number of top-secret documents, a seemingly inconspicuous document caught the attention of Snowden - the presidential surveillance program.
After the "911" incident, the then US President Bush Jr. released this document. The US government had to suspend the implementation of the document because it may violate people's privacy.
However, this is quite a yin and yang file. Through systematic tracking, Snowden discovered the internal implementation version of the "Presidential Surveillance Program". This bill bypasses the original law through subtle language design. It not only authorizes intelligence agencies to monitor a small number of special suspects, but also collects more intelligence. It is extended to a large number of ordinary people, completely ignoring the human rights and freedoms that the United States usually shouts loudly. Snowden was completely disappointed by this, and the belief that supported him step by step collapsed in an instant.
So far, Snowden's "rebel" plan begins.
Snowden developed a program called "Heartbeat", apparently still serving the National Security Agency, but he used this program to retrieve all the information about the surveillance program, and the US "Prism Project" began to surface.
The US surveillance system covers most of the official websites, and most of the information on the website will flow into the US government, and the surveillance scope covers tens of millions of ordinary people. This huge and shadowy surveillance program is not only the work of the United States, but also the joint efforts of the " Five Eyes Alliance " countries. Snowden managed to copy these documents one by one while browsing the ugly and ugly acts of the old beauty. He decided that he must expose all this darkness to the world.
In May 2013, the British " Guardian" reported the "Prism Gate" incident in the United States, and showed a large number of internal documents. The provider of this document and the whistleblower of this incident was Snowden.
As soon as the incident happened, it caused outrage in various countries. The despicable actions of the United States were made public, and the old face did not know where to put it, so he became angry and tried every means to arrest Snowden all over the world, not only revoking Snowden's passport, but also issuing ancestral legends Hegemony skills, threatening various countries to make them afraid to accept Snowden entry.
After that, Snowden began to live in exile, first fleeing to Hong Kong, and then to Russia. Russia was also very tough. Deng has a foothold for the time being.
Snowden was lucky while living in RussiaFu, not only from his autobiography, giving speeches, playing music, but also earning a lot of money, his girlfriend Lindsay Mills is also persistent. He left the United States in 2014 to follow Snowden to Russia. The two got married and survived. had two children.
Not only that, Snowden's legendary experience was also made into a documentary " Fourth Citizen " by HBO. .
Now, Snowden, who has lived in Russia for nine years, has successfully "entered Russia" and has become a legitimate Russian citizen with Russian citizenship. He no longer has to worry about his identity.
Let's look at the United States again. It can be said that Russia and Snowden have slapped him in the face. He can only ridicule Snowden through the yin and yang of the spokesperson, "Be careful of being sent by Russia to the front line of the Russia-Ukraine conflict."
is really a reincarnation of heaven, who can be forgiven by heaven. The bad things the United States did to Assange made Snowden come back.
old beauty, you don't think about it, you have been arrested for nine years and have not been caught, and finally became a naturalized Russian. Do you still think that you are not ashamed enough to come out and comment?
