i just got this from edward snowden

Did it break on April Fools Day and I'm late to the party, or are they using all the guys the psychopaths most want to besmirch just to reel them in, or is this straight up a bust?

...

I think they just broke the internet.

...

I mean, maybe if their first targets weren't Putin and Assad I'd feel less uneasy about the provenance of this data dump.

...

My very first reaction, the split second my eyes landed on Snowden's link, "panama papers" connected to "tokyo tapes" in my addled pate.

No. Really.

An attempt at a supergroup... but really a counterfeit... a sort of genuine fake.

...

I mean, I know the real deal, and the fate of all mankind, it seems, is in the hands of fools.

...

No, you couldn't blame me, really, for thinking something's fishy. I guess I just hope this is the set up for something really good... like neutralizing the psychopaths' hold on our government... because this looks, just now, SERIOUSLY suspicious.

...

If the point is to besmirch people who piss off the psychopaths, WHY did Snowden and Wikileaks leap on it? Was the point actually to besmirch Snowden and Wikileaks, and the Putin, et al. part is just a bonus? Could Assange and Snowden be, like, the world's first quintuple agents? Are they meaning to blank everyone's brains, winding up for something apocalyptic? Is it only that they want to stroke out a few more nagging old hippie ladies... for drill?

My coffee water nearly boiled clean off the stove four times already since this broke.

...

I never go to his site anymore since catching a gander at how he can sophistrize with the greats when it suits him, but it seems he pretty much nailed my take here. That was NOT my immediate, subatomic speed, take.

No. That was the Epitaph take already mentioned. So I think I'm going to have to semi-disagree about the provenance of this leak, or the order of besmirchment.

Might be that the information is real, but like the prog rock supergroup attempt on King Crimson, it's coming out untruthfully. You know, where have we heard the term "terabytes" slung around like this before?

...

I feel uneasy about just coming out and being this candid with you about it because people who make their livings seeming smart come here to figure out where they stand on certain things, and they DO NOT credit me for it. That might blow their covers. It has been making me try to be more circumspect in certain ways for over a year now.

It's not an ego problem. It's my disinclination to aid charlatans.

You know, that saving all sentient beings thing....

...

Six of one; half dozen of the other....

...

Another point that has needed making for hours is: These fucks knew the exact minute they were going to break this and didn't bother to amass the bandwidth to handle it? That cannot have been accidental either.

...

Bottom line: Putin keeps corning plutocrats. They don't take that shit lying down. I think they're digging hard, using their terabytes per picosecond snooping power, to regain the upper hand. I might not be falling down on this side of the dodecahedron, except for "anonymous" keeps piping up, and, personally, I'm certain "anonymous" isn't anonymous to those plutocrats.
