Everyone who is involved with the scandal of the massive spying programs of Americans- CLICK HERE- are trying to hunt down the Whistle Blower Edward Snowdon.
He is now a fugitive being pursued by Law Enforcement as a danger to our country, a supposed "traitor" who must be silenced and imprisoned for telling the truth.
Hopefully he escapes to Iceland and is granted Political Asylum.
To me Edward Snowdon is a brave hero, a true patriot, willing to put his life on the line for exposing how corrupt and dishonest our government actually is in "protecting us and doing their public duty".
Apparently, telling the truth is a crime, while those in government who eagerly lie, cover up the truth and easily violate our liberty think they are the "good guys".
If only our government put the same resources in prosecuting the criminal financial institutions, the corruption that permeates our Country, crime, social reform, justice for all equally, and so much more that they ignore.
But mess with government cover ups, lies, or fight for justice and you will incur the wrath of the law.
As bad as all this is, there is no greater threat to our country than our do nothing congress. They are a threat when we drive over bridges that are falling down. They are a threat when we have to listen to them whine, debate, and complain about helping citizens of natural and man made disasters.
They are a threat when they would rather keep subsidies for rich oil company but cut Head start a program that has been shown with data to be one of the few things that actually WORKS.
They are a threat when they cut entitlement programs that we have all paid into but refuse to cut their own benefits entitlement programs.
They are a threat when they cut food programs for the poor but continue farm subsidies and other Corporate Welfare to those who don't need it.
They are a threat when they think that repealing health care for millions is something that should be voted on as many times as possible no matter how much it fails.
They are a threat when they conduct a massive manhunt to arrest an American citizen who revealed the truth about the secret spy program of the American Citizens because Congress deemed it legal in spite of it being in violation of the Constitution.
The list goes on forever, suffice it to say that our Congress poses a serious danger to this country and is totally out of control with its own set of rules that only apply to them.
Benjamin Franklin said it best. Yes, Benjamin Franklin Knew the truth and he was a great deal smarter than the make excuses crap propaganda being fed today as our liberty is stolen from us by successive regimes of Presidents from both of our political party puppets.
And contemporary people such as John Perry Barlow sum it up very honestly and to the point:
"Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather."
Those are the words that open the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace, a seminal paper by John Perry Barlow.
In the paper, the former Grateful Dead lyricist and founder of the online rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation argued governments should never meddle with cyberspace.
The electronic modern version of Don't Tread ON ME.
People are fed up with our "leaders" and it is just a matter of time before this nation implodes under it's own lies and corruption.
Very well said and every word the truth. I'm sure there are enough people out there that totally agree and have enough guts to help Edward get someplace safe because it sure as hell doesn't seem a safe place to be in the good old USofA!
