ASSANGE: The US Gov't is Taking on a Generation & Can Only Lose

"Today we have seen a range of extreme, bellicose statements from the US administration, attempting to bully Russia and other nation's from facilitating Mr. Snowden's asylum. Every person has the right to seek and receive political asylum. Those rights are enshrined in the United Nations agreement - of which the United States is a party.

"It is counterproductive and unacceptable for the Obama administration to try and interfere with those rights. It reflects poorly on the US administration and no self-respecting country would submit to such interference, or such bullying by the US."

"This morning the US Secretary of State called Edward Snowden a "traitor". Edward Snowden is not a traitor. He is not a spy. He is a whistleblower who has told the public and important truth. The US Secretary of State is wrong in law. In US law a 'traitor' must adhere to US enemies and there is also a requirement that the conduct is in congressionally approved war time. Neither of these, feature here.

"The Obama administration was not given a mandate by the people of the United States to attack and spy upon the entire world, to breach the US Constitution, and the laws of other nations in the manner that it has. To now attempt to violate international asylum law by calling for the rendition of Edward Snowden further demonstrates the break down of the rule of law, by the Obama administration ... 

  •  STOP SPYING ON THE WORLD 
  •  ERADICATE 'SECRET-LAW' 
  •  CEASE INDEFINATE DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL
  •  STOP THE OBAMA ADMINSTRATION'S ASSASINATION PROGRAM 
  •  STOP INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES & STOP SENDING YOUNG AMERICANS OFF TO KILL & BE KILLED 

"It is these problems which are stimulating national security whistleblowers to come forward. If the Obama administration doesn't want government sources to speak to the press, it should stop engaging in conduct which is so outrageous to cause  them to come forward. The charging of Edward Snowden is not a matter of justice. It is an attempt to intimidate any country that might be considering standing up for his right - to tell us all the truth. Such behavior must not be tolerated and will not be tolerated by any self-respecting nation, or by the press at large. Everyone should tell their governments to step forward and to assist Mr. Snowden in his asylum, and the press also has an obligation to do so."

WHISTLE-BLOWER SACRIFICES SELF FOR HIS COUNTRY:
U.S. Media Assists Gov't Witch Hunt & Distortions - Per Usual [video]

A young man with the world in his hand, gives it all up for the pursuit of Truth & Justice. One brave whistle-blower at the highest levels of secret-government domestic spying programs, stands tall and looks directly into the eyes of the 'super power' of the United States to say, enough is enough; Liberty or death.



While the corporate-state media carries the water - yet again - for a White House who would really like to reframe the topic of authoritarian domestic spying programs, former CIA and NSA contract employee risks his life to take a stand against extraordinary U.S. government fascism. For those unfamiliar with the story, Edward Snowden took extraordinary steps this past week to expose enormous government abuse of power. Particulary, that the United States government's intelligence agencies are spying on every single American. Can this really be so surprising to a people who have just recently found out that, this same government also falsely claims the authority to assassinate citizens at will - without due process, without even providing evidence of the government's claims against said murdered parties?

 SECRET COURTS = OXYMORON 

U.S. corporate-state media helps the White House sell false stories of legitimacy by airing the obviously bias opinions (dressed up as 'legal analysis') of the very government officials who got caught holding the indiscriminate, immoral, and in no way ethical dragnet of intelligence operations aimed at the entire public at large. That the president's friends and other government officials, themselves implicated in this tragic dishonor to the rule of law and the basic Human Right to SOME level of privacy, are filling the airwaves with assertions of their own interpretation of how legitimate their own actions have been - should be an obvious pulling back of the curtain, exposing further the corporate-police-state. Every time these criminals in government get caught, their corporate partners help them sell their stories. Just as every time corporate criminals are caught, their government partners let them off with a slap on the wrist. 

 'The SECRET courts which WE created to justify our enormous police-state 
 domestic spying programs told us we could do it.' - U.S. Government 

 Well, what are the odds of that?! You mean to tell us that your own 
 private courts, which you created and employ, told you it's 'legal' 
 to do whatever you want? Go on... 

The indignant government officials who brazenly defend such an obviously reprehensible secret-police program in the U.S. (the kind that would have impressed Nazi-Germany in the 1940's)  predictably behave with the same old cowardice of shooting the messenger to distract from the message. They expect you to believe that having their secret spy programs against you being exposed, means 'national security' is threatened. Not that national security is threatened by authoritarian regimes who spy on their own people - but that the people KNOWING ABOUT IT has somehow endangered us as a nation. 

They are desperately clinging to any angle that can keep their recently revealed EXTREME ABUSES OF POWER from being seen for what they are. Edward Snowden is not a 'threat' to the United States. He is a threat only to those who have worked very hard - in dark corners - to corrupt the United States and to destroy any semblance of liberty left in this once great nation. Edward Snowden is a hero of the people. Don't let the bastards who got caught - being bastards - tell you otherwise. 

 When GOVERNMENTS collude with CORPORATIONS to SPY on and 'police' the people, the result is an authoritarian type of government known definitively as "fascism". 

Knowing that he gave his life for his country, whistle-blower Snowden said, "You can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk, because they're such powerful adversaries that no one can meaningfully oppose them. If they want to get you - they'll get you in time." Unlike Bradley Manning who is still facing the wrath of the U.S. government (currently in military trial - after extended periods of isolation) for exposing U.S. war-crimes which every sentient being has a right to know about - Snowden took the opportunity to go public and explain his moral-compass. In the video interview with Glenn Greenwald (above), he tells more about the NSA abuses than the initial story told. He also disassembles the predictable hit-piece propaganda which has been coming out of the White House and their media lackeys. He shows that he is NOT in any way an enemy of the United States, but rather, that he took these actions because he is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good of the American people.
