NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden on Tuesday injected himself into an escalating cyberstruggle that could affect the U.S. presidential election. The reported hack of The Equation Group might have been a warning shot from Russia, Snowden claimed. The group, which is widely believed to be a front operation for the NSA, apparently was hacked over the weekend by a previously unknown outfit called the “Shadow Brokers,” which then claimed to have valuable files in its possession that would be available to the highest bidder.
I think this election year you have two candidates very much hated by a number of powerful people and organizations. Trumps stirs the pot against the establishment and Hillary is a prime example of a person who is nothing but establishment. It's why you even see some GOP members threatening to vote for Clinton. I mean, would you want a outsider to ruffle some feathers? Or an insider who simply plays for the other team? Clearly even for the liberal media they seem to already feel that the average people shouldn't have a say in government. That government knows best and allowing these deals to happen get's things done. But as Snowden knows all too well, that government control can be dangerous. I actually think if nothing more Trump could be a buffer for the people against the establishment. From my point of view their is way more on Clinton than on Trump so far. That may change, but picking on what Trump says vs what Hillary and Bill have done that reinforces the establishment shady dealings. May sway many voters to pick Trump purely on anti establishment principals.
