Let’s just say, if Person A has a friendly relationship
with Person B. Then, for some reason, Person A
decides to kill Person C. Somehow Person B finds out
about a committed murder and instead of reporting to
police, decides to continue daily friendly interactions
with Person A as if nothing has happened.
Later the police discover that Person A is a murderer
and Person B knew about it almost right from the very
beginning and did not report it. Possibly Person B will
somewhat be held responsible for upholding crucial
information by not reporting the crime to the police
with all related consequences.
Although the highlighted example is generally correct, it
does not apply to each and every situation especially when
it is related to issues of big politics. However, it is fair to
indicate that such exemption took place due to a silent
agreement of the majority and a certain group of people
have happily accepted it. Such endorsement created a
precedent and allowed corrupted individuals to continue
committing crimes against humanity.
I am not sure whether people's decision to keep quiet was
unintentional or due to indifference, but somehow the most
important point was completely left out of the picture. It

should have been understood that "looking the other way"
paves the way for accelerated growth of hypocrisy. People
should have realised that accepting misinterpretation
creates a solid ground for a widespread confusion in term of
definitions of what is right and wrong.
This mess led to severe deterioration of people's ability to
see things clearly and made them very forgetful about
lessons that history has taught us. But the most dangerous
consequence of this process is that logic started to become
dysfunctional.
Therefore, today whoever dares to disclose information on
committed crimes against humanity are immediately
announced as “enemies of the nation”. In a blink of an eye,
officials will appear on TV to make lengthy and complicated
statements, heavily filled with patriotic words. However, if
we listen carefully, it would become obvious that despite
plenty of patriotism, these statements are not populated
with common sense.
When Snowden's story started to unfold, people were told
that information which was published by Wikileaks shall be
qualified as "unauthorised disclosure" and considered as a
breach. Therefore it shall be defined as a threat to the
national security. Since the majority is already confused,
most of the people could not understand whether it is true

and accepted the official version of the events. It led to a
complete confusion and misunderstanding.
In my opinion, there is an element of doubt that qualification
of Snowden's actions is perfectly in line with the effective
legislation of the United States. The purpose of the
disclosure was not the receipt of material reward, neither it
was disclosed to a hostile nation with the intent to cause
damage to the national security. It does not seem to be
related to industrial espionage as well. However. based on
published materials, we may see that the information
contains substantial factual evidence of numerous crimes
against humanity. Therefore, it is viable to assume that
Snowden and others were reporting war crimes.
I also noticed one interesting detail. Immediately after first
publications, several officials made a statement illustrating
Snowden's action as treason. During countless interviews
that followed no factual evidence was provided to confirm
official line. I was constantly under impression that it is an
intentional attempt to confuse the public even more.
It appears that few questions remain unanswered. Why is
Snowden still hunted by the government? Is obligation of
every citizen to report a crime is actually the crime which
he is accused of committing? What classified information he
has disclosed, which does not contain evidence of the
crimes against humanity?

The entire story is almost identical with action movies. The
main character discovers secrets of a criminal group and
has to run for his (her) life. Of course, evil people set off in
pursuit of the witness. The happy end of any action movie is,
more or less, the same. The main character manages to
survive because the law enforcement agency helps him (or
her). Thus, the truth surfaces and justice prevails.
Unfortunately, it is very different in the real life. Due to
completely twisted logic, many aspects of our life are
affected. The “wrong” suddenly became “right”. Timeless
values sustained substantial damage because political
correctness made the truth almost invisible. Unlike in the
movies, there is no law enforcement agency to call for help
as it is a part of the "criminal group" or is instructed by it.
People who are actual criminals are free and well.
Logically, those who committed crimes supposed to have no
rights to continue the pursuit of Snowden because they
clearly have a conflict of interest. Instead, courts should
have issued a restraining order immediately as it is required
to ensure the protection of the key witness. But in the world
where common sense is barely alive, it is very unlikely to
happen.
I believe that at one point we lost focus and misinterpreted
the meaning of democracy. We thought that democracy
requires freedom of expression. Therefore, due to
K.J. / 6

inappropriate politeness, which is otherwise known as
“political correctness”, we decided to give a voice to
stupidity.
We grossly miscalculated that democracy for the sake of
democracy is useless. We forgot that by providing
extremists with the opportunity to express their views, we
legitimised perception making it a synonym to opinion. We
failed to understand that perception shall never stand next
to opinion. Arguments shall never be defined as
discussions, Freedom of expression should never be
interpreted as freedom of racism and chaos. Stupidity shall
never be equal to intelligence.
I suspect that intellectual regress is encouraged because of
the more “special needs” people represent the majority, the
easier it is to hunt thinking people. It also helps the real
criminals who started an illegal war, breached national and
international laws, caused the death of hundreds of
thousands of innocent people, to avoid punishment.
