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.

 26-year-old Internet activist's tragic suicide 

raises questions about prosecutorial overreach

Hundreds of mourners filled the Great Hall at New York's Cooper Union on January 19th to honor the life of Aaron Swartz, the Internet activist who took his own life earlier this month at age 26.

Swartz was well-known in technology circles for helping develop the RSS web feed format and the popular site Reddit, among other accomplishments. At the time of his death, he was facing 13 felony charges and up to 50 years in prison: Prosecutors had accused him of using MIT's network to download too many scholarly articles from an academic database called JSTOR.

Swartz's friends and family have said they believe he was driven to his death by a justice system that hounded him needlessly over an alleged crime with no real victims. "[He was] forced by the government to spend every fiber of his being on this damnable, senseless trial," his partner Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman said at the memorial, "with no guarantee that he could exonerate himself at the end of it."

Swartz's tragic death has already begun forcing lawmakers to start rethinking our draconian computer laws. And House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-California) even promised an investigation of the Justice Department prosecutors who did their best to send a young Internet pioneer to prison.

Two zealous federal prosecutors handled Swartz's case: U.S. district attorney Carmen Ortiz and assistant attorney Stephen Heymann. In the days after his death, writers, tech experts, and many of Swartz's friends have called out Heymann and Ortiz for prosecutorial overreach. A White House petition demanding the removal of Ortiz garnered well over 25,000 signatures, reaching the level which guarantees an eventual response from the Obama administration.

Some of Swartz's advocates believe the prosecution sought excessive punishment to set an example in the age of Wikileaks and Anonymous.

"This was, in my opinion, part of a coordinated campaign to scare young Internet activists," says Roy Singham, ThoughtWorks chairman and a friend of Swartz.

NYPD GOT USED

NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna
ATTACKING the INNOCENT from BEHIND!!!
[ SEE the VIDEO ]

The NYPD: New York City Police Department GOT USED by Mike Bloomberg to carry out HIS-VIOLENT-TYRANNY over the otherwise Free People of New York City. The City has no choice but to DECLINE defending their street-thugs [the ones who show up to INFLICT VIOLENCE under the FALSE guise of 'keeping order'] in Civil Court. Don't feel bad for those certain people on the NYPD who like to show off to their superiors by carrying out the often ILLEGAL and violent orders passed down. 

VIOLENT-SOCIOPATHS are CRIMINALS - whether or not they wear a badge. Never forget that!

NO JUSTICE = NO PEACE

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

the horrors that Mike Bloomberg's NYPD unleashed on peaceful protesters. This is much larger than the "PR problem" the City seems to think this is. This administrations VIOLENT assault on the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Will NOT Go Unpunished. 

 WE WILL NOT FORGET : WE WILL NOT RELENT 

 Arrest NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna 

  ...if there is - indeed - any just rule of law left in our nation.

The Hypocrisy of Mike Bloomberg [VIDEO]

Straight from the facebook page of Mike Bloomberg.
It's just amusing sometimes to see him speak about the 'safety of citizens' or really - anything to do with Human Rights at all, since he has so proudly overseen the perpetual abuse of Human Rights through the brutality of his NYPD. Literally breaking the bones and shedding the blood of peaceful protesters who assert their RIGHT to be - and to protest - in public places is far from sincere concern for the wellbeing of The People.

You just can't make this stuff up...
But look at the overt reaction he's been getting since launching constant physical assaults on peaceful protesters. Hey Mike... We Are Winning. Your tyranny dressed up as legitimacy, just isn't fooling anyone anymore. We're coming for you. You and your Wall Street buddies better figure something out quick - because your brutality has served no purpose but to expose you for a brute.
We will not relent.
See you soon.

While trying to capitalize on the current American zeitgiest regarding a tragedy...
