Snowden interview
« on: February 13, 2014, 08:34:46 AM »
The below embedded video interview of the whistleblower/hero “traitor” Edward Snowden by a German journalist was expected by this writer to go viral on the internet.

Strangely, although having been posted many times on YouTube, its shelf life has been shall we say “short”. It would appear that our minders in the US media do not wish dissemination of any but the official version of the NSA leaks. In any event, dear readers, please avail yourselves of the opportunity for exposure to a non official perspective regarding the lies, lawlessness, secrecy and obtrusiveness of the imperial regime:

Hunh.  It's Fran Porretto's site.  'Course, he is a fellow dissident, so maybe that's why you're blocked at work.

I recommend everyone listen, although it's thirty minutes long.  There's not much to watch, so you can putter at something else in the meantime.

And it's worth reading Fran's post for today on "Reviving The Constitution: The Treason Clause" for tutelage on what is/is not treason.

I'll make it a point to check this at home this weekend.

Here's another link.

I find his revelation of what he calls "X-Key-Score" to be most interesting, and most chilling.

If we are to take him at face value (I do), then the notion of even a shred of privacy on the Internet is a complete facade.

I think in the end, he's a hero, and I dont care what anybody says. The federal government has become the enemy of the citizenry, and bless Edward Snowden for telling us just how dangerous the enemy is.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
