Edward Snowden, A Truth Unveiled (Documentary)

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln.
Democratic and Republican Senators and Representatives are nothing more than puppets being controlled by black-hearted industrial Tyrants. If the public does not pick up on this fact soon, and remove them from power through the democratic process, then the military will have no choice but to try them for treason and espionage under military courts in order to protect our Constitution.

There are no free markets. Governments all regulate and franchise markets in favor of their supporters. Corporations are part of the government bureaucracy. Free Markets in themselves are of little concerns to libertarians.

Snowden "Considering Venezuela Asylum"

American journalist Glenn Greenwald says he believes former spy contractor Edward Snowden will soon seek refuge in Venezuela.

Full Story:

Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist who first published top-secret information on U.S. surveillance programmes using data leaked by former spy contractor Edward Snowden.

Speaking from his home in Rio de Janeiro, The Guardian blogger and columnist said he had spoken to Snowden about the fugitive's asylum plans via an encrypted online chat on Tuesday.

[Glenn Greenwald, American Journalist]:
"There are news reports today that he has formally accepted the asylum offer from Venezuela. Whether those news reports are accurate or not, I don't want to comment on but, I think personally, just speaking for myself, that of the three options, that one seems like the more plausible."

Snowden, seen here speaking to The Guardian Newspaper, is wanted by the United States on espionage charges.

He is believed to be holed up in the transit terminal of Moscow's main airport, where he has been stuck for weeks after the U.S. voided his passport and threatened consequences for any country that offered the American refuge.

Greenwald says conversations with the wanted man have led him to believe Snowden's trove of National Security Agency documents are not in the hands of foreign governments.

Meanwhile, Venezuela's foreign minister said the contractor had not officially accepted his country's offer of asylum, as of Tuesday.

Edward Snowden on Why He Stood Up to the NSA: Mass Spying "Not Something I'm Willing to Live Under"

In a newly released interview conducted just before he came forward early last month, Edward Snowden explains why he has devoted his life to expose how the United States is spying on the world. Snowden says he thinks the biggest revelation to emerge from his leaks is the National Security Agency's collection of all communications into and out of the United States -- despite NSA claims that it only targets foreign traffic. Snowden also predicts that the U.S. government would seek to demonize him and accuse him of aiding America's enemies. Journalist Laura Poitras filmed the exchange, and Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald asked the questions. "America is a fundamentally good country," Snowden says. "We have good people with good values who want to do the right thing, but the structures of power that exist are working to their own ends to extend their capability at the expense of the freedoms of all."

US Spying Scandal & National Security

Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old system administrator and former undercover CIA employee, has revealed himself as the source behind the biggest intelligence leaks in the National Security Agency (NSA)'s history. Snowden admitted his role in the leaks in a 12-minute video interview recorded in Hong Kong where he is currently staying, The Guardian reported on Sunday.

The British newspaper said Snowden flew to Hong Kong on May 20 after copying the last set of documents he intended to disclose at the NSA's office in Hawaii. The paper pointed out that it was revealing Snowden's identity at his own request. In the interview, he denounced what he described as systematic surveillance of innocent US citizens, saying his " sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them."

WikiLeaks Blasts U.S. for Leaving Snowden "Stateless" as NSA Leaker Withdraws Asylum Bid in Russia

National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has reportedly abandoned his effort to permanently stay in Russia, but has submitted asylum requests to 20 other countries.
