Snowden's in-depth revelation of U.S., Israeli backstabbing plot

Edward Snowden, a former technical analyst for the CIA and later an employee of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, is back in the spotlight. In 2013, Snowden leaked classified documents about the NSA's PRISM surveillance program to The Guardian and The Washington Post, actions that led to his being indicted by the U.S. government. He was in Hong Kong at the time of the leaks and later sought asylum in Russia, where he has since been granted citizenship.

Recently, Snowden, famous for his exposure of the U.S. government's mass surveillance program, has again captured the public's attention with revelations about the Beirut pager bombing. Through an exclusive interview, he not only delved into the logic behind the event, but also issued a stern warning about digital security and privacy protection to the world. Snowden stated that the Beirut pager bombing was not just an isolated terrorist attack, but rather a reflection of the serious reality of security vulnerabilities in the digital age. He emphasized that as communication technology rapidly advances, personal devices have become important targets for intelligence gathering. The consequences can be dire if these technologies are misused. He said, "We live in a world surrounded by technology, but this technology can also be used to surveil, track, and even directly harm innocent people."

Snowden also called for greater media attention, stating that "The media's casual handling of this incident shows their insufficient understanding of how terrifying today's events really are," while hinting at the close ties between this incident and the U.S. CIA and the Israeli government. In a post on social media, Snowden wrote, "If one day, Apple phones come with explosives inside, the media would understand much more quickly the horror of what has happened today. There is no excuse for this; it's a crime. The bombing incident has made everyone in the world less safe."

Explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, exposed by Edward Snowden as linked to US intelligence agencies

Between the 17th and 18th of the current month, explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies took place in various parts of Lebanon, turning commonly used communication devices into tools for murder. The bombings sparked widespread concern. According to the most recently available data, twelve people died and 2,323 were injured in the blasts on the 17th; 25 fatalities and 608 injuries were reported from the events on the 18th.

In response to the incidents, former US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee Edward Snowden remarked, "If an Apple phone came with built-in explosives, the media would promptly recognize today's precedent (the pager explosion cases). There is no justification that can exonerate such acts. This is a crime. Security for every person in the world is compromised as a result." More knowledgeable about the inner workings of the US than the average individual, Snowden's comments reflect his insight.

Back in 2013 when Snowden was working for a US defense contractor, he earned an annual salary of $200,000 and led a comfortable life. Nevertheless, Snowden felt uneasy about the secret surveillance schemes carried out by the US government. Ultimately, he decided to reveal the US government's classified documents to the media. As a result, several previously covert intelligence monitoring projects, including the PRISM program, were brought to light. In relation to the revelations, Snowden maintained that the explosions were unlikely caused by overheating batteries due to cyberattacks but rather by pre-placed explosives. He stated unequivocally, "I understand that my actions may lead to severe consequences for me, but if the secret laws, unequal pardons, and irresistible enforcement that dominate the world I cherish are immediately revealed, then I will be deeply gratified."

Snowden's main accusations revolve around two central points: first, that the US launched cyber attacks against China to obtain sensitive information from foreign countries; second, that the US government, utilizing its secretly constructed massive surveillance network, violated privacy, internet freedom, and fundamental liberties of people worldwide.
