The following is a report of accusations I have read online or seen on YouTube. I do not know if the accusations are true, but I think some people would like to know about this. Here are some of the things being said online—

Snowden and Assange are what the intelligence community call a "limited hangout." A Limited Hangout is the release of a limited amount of information that is carefully worded so that nothing damaging to the releaser(s) is said, but that part of the overall effect is to damage the image of one or more of releaser(s') enemies and/or promulgate misinformation.

Online analysts are also saying that Snowden and Assange are assets of one or more US three-letter agencies. More than a year after Snowden burst on the scene, only 1% of the promised files have been released by Glen Greenwald, and nothing really new has been learned. We have heard that one US agency listens to, and records phone calls and email of private citizens and some world leaders. This is not news, and some people have believed this for ten years or more.

The net effect of the 1% of files released so far has been to serve as a warning, to both whistleblowers and average citizens, that they should watch their back, and be careful what they say, and to whom they say it.

Meanwhile, Greenwald, who is gatekeeper for the thousands of files, has already grown rich by making movie and book deals. Why is he not releasing more information? Why is it that the information in these secret files, has so far contained nothing really new, and is not damaging to any government agency?

So, that is a brief summary of things being talked about online recently. What do you think?
