Had to happen, even if it’s just counter intelligence propaganda covering for ‘National Security’. We’ll probably never know, but it’s a great story, isn’t it? And we can watch it unfold, be part of the conspiracy by omission or, maybe, just maybe…
ACT ON IT!
No one likes liars and the governments of this world are just that – liars protecting their own status quo, their own positions, their own power. The world is broke. There’s no money except debt. And that’s what they’re protecting. Julian Assange is under house arrest, Bradley Manning has been in solitary confinement… for trying to get the truth to you:
Ordinary guys, not ‘jihadist raghead bombers’ folks, these are real people concerned about you…
Snowden
Assange
According to reports from the BBC, Edward Snowden has vanished from his Hong Kong hotel room. Ex-CIA employee Snowden, 29, was not expected to check out and the move has taken many by surprise. His whereabouts are unknown and thus far he has not made contact with anyone as to his plans.
Snowden who is on record as saying he had:
“an obligation to help free people from oppression”
He is being investigated regarding the leaks and the case has been referred to the Department of Justice as a criminal matter.
An online petition on the White House website has so far gotten 30,000 signatures calling for an immediate pardon for Snowden, though sadly, an opinion poll commissioned by the Washington Post reveals that the majority of American Citizens think that this kind of intrusive phone monitoring is acceptable if it is aimed at fighting terrorism.
The implications of Snowdens’ leaks have reverberated around the globe with similar allegations being leveled at GCHQ (Government Communication Headquarters) in the UK.
Before fleeing to Hong Kong Snowden said:
“The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. I don’t want to live in a society that does these sorts of things. I do not want to live in a world where everything I say and do is recorded…. We have seen enough criminality on behalf of the government, it is hypocritical to make this allegation against me.”
Hong Kong does have an extradition treaty with the US though a standard US visa lasts for 90 days, he is believed to have arrived in Hong Kong on May 20th.
