The relevance of this question escapes me, but my final career stop, which ended long ago, was as a petro physicist. My undergrad major was pre-med, but my coursework included the Honors English program, does that count?

Wait. What? With the who now? Which citizenry?

The citizens of the U.S.A.

Snowden? Say what now? Which believers are the "true believers?" It's all very confusing.

Are you a Liberal Arts major?

My confusion was due to not understanding your meaning of two terms you introduced, "liberalism" and "believers" and my request was that you define them, if my interpretation was in error.
It's strange that you end up asking me to define "believers," your term that you put in quotes but didn't define. You were asked first!

The context of your usage of the word "liberal(ism)" in your second post makes it clear you mean the modern corrupted meaning, that is: That mid to late 20th Century and early 21st Century Marxist movement in the United States calculated to destroy that country, formerly called "progressive" in the early 20th Century America and known elsewhere as "socialism" or more generally as "Marxism."

Your confusion can be resolved by reading both your original post and my OP. This thread is about Glenn Greenwald's most recent release of Snowden documents. They reveal online activities by paid covert agents designed to destroy the reputations of administration opponents, infiltration of online political communities, and the shaping of political discourse to undermine political opposition. The documents reveal a wide range of tactics, "gambits of deception," these agents have been using to affect those objectives. This board is a candidate for targeting, and the subject could be of interest to everyone who posts here.
