SUMMARY
Snowden's slides: the servers were already wired. Denials lasted a news cycle.
FULL DOSSIER
The slides were real, the denials were worded by lawyers, and the architecture Snowden described — direct access, full take, store everything — was not a theory but a product roadmap. The strangest confirmed detail remains Room 641A: a locked room in a San Francisco exchange where the fiber was split and one copy of the internet turned left toward Fort Meade. The whistleblower who found it was a retiree who noticed the air conditioning.
