Edward Snowden - the name that sent shockwaves through the most powerful intelligence agencies on Earth and changed surveillance forever. But was he a courageous freedom fighter who sacrificed everything to expose the government's illegal spying on its own citizens, or the most dangerous traitor in American history who handed our national secrets to enemy nations? The truth behind the man who brought down the NSA's house of cards is more explosive and complex than the mainstream media ever dared to tell you. In this jaw-dropping episode, we dive deep into Snowden's real motivations, the mind-blowing extent of government surveillance that he exposed, and the shocking revelations that are STILL being covered up today. We'll uncover how the NSA was secretly collecting every phone call, text message, and internet search of millions of innocent Americans, the terrifying programs with code names like PRISM and XKeyscore that sound like science fiction but are chillingly real, and why the government's response to Snowden reveals they're hiding something even bigger. But here's what they don't want you to know: Snowden's revelations were just the tip of the iceberg. We'll expose the surveillance programs that are STILL operating in the shadows, the international intelligence partnerships that make privacy extinct, and the real reason why Snowden can never come home.
