Snowden Joins Twitter, Follows NSA

wiredmikey writes: Edward Snowden joined Twitter Tuesday, picking up more than a quarter of a million followers on the social network in just over two hours. Snowden followed a single Twitter account: the U.S. National Security Agency, from which he stole electronic documents revealing the agency's secret surveillance programs. "Can you hear me now?" he asked in his first tweet, which was quickly resent by Twitter users tens of thousands of times. In his second, Snowden noted the recent news about the planet Mars and then quipped about the difficulty he had finding asylum after the U.S. government fingered him as the source of the NSA leaks. "And now we have water on Mars!" he wrote. "Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend."

    It's a light on the firmament, it's not a real place we can travel to. They knew this in the late 50s when they banned travel to Antarctica (it's "the edge"), and also did "Operation Fishbowl" where the US and Russia launched many nuclear bombs into the sky -- to test the firmament.

    Some will mock and downvote this. Others know that during the end times there will be a great deception -- and the shape of the world we're standing on is a part of it.

    For those interested in the truth, Dr. Samuel Rowbotham wrote about this more than a century ago, so his writing is available online for free (nothing after 1923 will ever enter the public domain, thanks to Disney): http://www.sacred-texts.com/ea...
