The Blind Man At The Fair O TO be blind! To know the darkness that I know. The stir I hear is empty wind, The people idly come and go. The sun is black, tho’ warm and kind, The horsemen ride, the streamers blow Vainly in the fluky wind, For all is darkness where I […]

He is a whistle-blower extraordinaire who was a member of the CIA and leaked classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013.
