New revelations from the Snowden archive surface

A doctoral thesis by American investigative journalist and post-doctoral researcher Jacob Appelbaum has now revealed unpublished information from the Snowden archive. These revelations go back a decade, but remain of indisputable public interest:
* The NSA listed Cavium, an American semiconductor company marketing Central Processing Units (CPUs) – the main processor in a computer which runs the operating system and applications – as a successful example of a “SIGINT-enabled” CPU supplier. Cavium, now owned by Marvell, said it does not implement back doors for any government.
* The NSA compromised lawful Russian interception infrastructure, SORM. The NSA archive contains slides showing two Russian officers wearing jackets with a slogan written in Cyrillic: “You talk, we listen.” * The NSA and/or GCHQ has also compromised Key European LI [lawful interception] systems.
Among example targets of its mass surveillance program, PRISM, the NSA listed the Tibetan government in exile.
What does the remaining 99% of the Snowden archive contain? A decade on, it remains shrouded in secrecy. Does this imply that there is indeed a lot of truth in the archives?
Just really irritating to always hear allegation by the USA about China's spying, when we repeatedly see evidence of the NSA spying even on their own allies.
