Go, Eddie! Expose the crooks. Godspeed to Ecuador! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your act of civil disobedience to expose those who wish to subvert democracy with tyranny is entirely consistent with the efforts of our Founding Fathers who knew that the development of totalitarian governments would need periodic revolution to reestablish the fundamentals of a free society. You have the blessings of our American forefathers who rightly predicted the mess we are in.
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Paine, and many others all commited acts of disobedience against tyranny and today are recognized as heroes even while many of their day labeled them as traitors. Pay no attention to the hypocrites of Washington. You are doing the right thing.
God bless you, my brother!
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

I am happy that Ellsberg is being very vocal about this.
Ellsberg is a Boomer hero watching the psychopaths of that very same generation going to town on the constitution.
You can't blame all the Bomers for this. Shit always rises to the top, right Feinstein? Right Holder?

Latest breaking headline at Reuters:
BREAKING NEWS: Ecuadorean ambassador arrives at Moscow airport hotel, tells reporters he expects to meet Snowden
SNOWDEN...ABORT, ABORT...LANDING IN MOSCOW IS LIKE A LAYOVER BEFORE DC INTERNATIONAL...
SNOWDEN....A LANDING IN MOSCOW IS LIKE A LAY OVER PRIOR TO DC INTERNATIONAL......BAD FLIGHT
Snowden would have done better to land at Pulkovo. Moscow is too expensive. Either way, Russia is probably not the worst place to end up. I have seriously considered it myself and have actually been invited. I don't think so though, because I am not running away.
All the same, I insist on my children learning to speak and understand the Russian language and they do. In fact, my two year old son speaks Russian as his first language.
Keep the car running.
Dual citizenship has become manditory
Tried to establish that back January but the Russian consulate was not so supportive of the idea. Fuck the state! What do we need all of these papers and apostilles for anyway?
My truck is running now. Time to move out.
I have said this before. It used to be you could spot Russians in a crowd fairly easily.
No longer. They have been absorbed into the trendy amoeba of modern global consumerism and now look and behave like any other well to do citizen of of the fashion globe. Asian resorts are full of them. They wear the same clothes and watch the same movies as we do. But importantly, they still like literature and books.
The old stereotypes about Russians no longer apply. As is the case with the Mainland Chinese, the modern cultural barometer of what it means to be a Russian requires a total reset and what we are spoon fed by the MSM is yet more nonsense.
What is disquieting to the NWO set, is these new world fashionistas from behind the old walls have absolutely zero tolerance for their myopic old world shenanigans.
Point well taken WB7 but I can assure you that old Russia still exists hence my reference to Pulkovo. That would be St Petersburg-Leningrad. Still that is a major Russian city but very different from Moscow. In fact, they both consider themselves to be the capitol of Russia and thus are rivals. Then there is the rest of Russia which is largely ignored. Mrs M is from the rest of Russia.
It's worth a trip to some of the backwaters of Russia because you can observe some interesting things. Those Russian "hicks" could give a shit less what Moscow says and keep the corruption localized. Same shit, different day.
Speaking of which there has been a hell of a lot corruption right here where I presently sit, with the Burnett County WI sheriff's department. There have been some mysterious accidents that have resulted in death in the past the have gone unreported or unresolved As soon as I arrived, I got word of another shooting from a neighbor I have known my entire life and is no bullshitter. Very quiet on details but last night the local boys opened up at dusk. That is code for "are you out there and are you with me?" Shots rang out from miles and miles around and I, of course, joined in.
On one hand that is a good thing but on the other it is not.
Yes, I am sure it does.
My real point though is we are about to be inundated with all the jingoist cold war obluquy and Boris and Natasha stereotypes in order for them to besmirch Snowden's patriotic intentions.
Typical spook playbook bullshot.
Sheeple shaping.
The fate of STASI and DDR - or socialist part of separated Germany proved that total spying without oppression doesn't' work. They don't exist now. But there were interested parties in such failure. Not sure when in present time we don't have any governments or parties interesting freedom of press, opinions and transparency of politics and financial system. In present time it's global issue.
When a so-called "major power" nation's "laws" are ignored by other nations, it should tell the world that the "major power" has become a pariah on the world stage. Similar to the Soviet Union during the Cold War or Nazi Germany. Perhaps this can be an indication to the US citizens still under the impression that they live in a legitimate nation. The people of this country are being entertained to death and need to awaken. Once they do, the heads will begin to roll. This is an issue that transcends the left-right paradigm. People are beginning to awaken! Snowden is a hero!
The mainstream media keeps pushing this lie that Snowden is some sort of spy who is on the government's hit list because he stole sensitive documents or something. All Snowden did was expose the fact that the NSA is spying on every single American citizen, without warrant and without probable cause.
Edward Snowden should not be the story here - it should be the NSA and other government agencies who use their technology to violate the rights of American citizens. You cannot violate the fourth amendment every day and blame it on "keeping us safe." This scam doesn't work anymore now that everyone in America knows that there is no real threat from "terrorism" except the terroristic acts of our own agencies against us.
All Snowden did was expose the truth and I think he should be commended for it instead of being black-bagged and kidnapped. The lid is finally blowing off of the government corruption now and there's no holding it back. They can assasinate the whistle blowers one by one, but it's like a boiling kettle now. The steam is escaping, there's nothing they can do about it, and they're in a blind panic trying to control the narrative of information.
There are 545 human beings that are bringing ruin to the United States. They are clearly identifiable:
1. The President (1)
2. The Supreme Court (9)
3. The Congress (535)
These people are quite dangerous to our Constitution, our environment, our economy and our relations with other nations. If not for these 545 people, Al Qaeda would lose interest in attacking us, corporations could not buy the government, illegal wars would cease, torture would not have occurred, rigged trade of capital over labor would be confronted, bankers and CEOs who broke the law would be in prison, whistleblowers would be celebrated, drone assassination of innocent people would not be policy (they call it collateral damage, I call it murder), the war on drugs would end, the excessively high incarceration rate would be non-existent, the cost of medical care would be affordable and the privatization of the commonwealth would cease.
what about lady Gaga?
Just add her on that list and all is forgiven!
Just Kiddin...
I appreciate the gist of this observation, but when you consider the puppet masters, semi-autonomous power orbs such as the Pentagon and so on, the number explodes exponentially.
But 545 would be a very good start if you wanted to clean house.
The Eagle Has Landed at Sheremetyevo Airport, NOT
UPDATE
http://www.ntv.ru/novosti/624729/
All passengers say; Snowden was not on board from Hong Kong - Moscow.
They didn't see him, fake lead, and he is probably on his way to....
Thank you Will. Snowy's plane is right over Moscow and getting ready to land. I hope he did see your thread while on the plane, and knows in his heart that people from all over the globe are thanking him and wishing him well. I'm just so relieved that his plane didn't have a mysterious malfunction and explode in the air as we watched its flight. Godspeed, Snowy, we care for you.
You go, Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey NSA - eat shit you scum sucking sick bastards....................................
Interesting times, indeed...USSA dissidents now seek asylum in the USSR.
Back in the USSR
Ding, Ding we got a winner - spot on!
Americans in general have already become prisoners of their TV programming, their hollow calorie ridden diets, their pharmaceutical consumption, their blue/red Siamese twin political choice, their student and credit card debt etc etc etc, so what the NSA does is simply keep a watch over their useless lives in case they exhibit any signs of awakening to, questioning or demonstrating against the system and its government approved choices.
The small percentage that knows better is unable to reverse this reality. In any case you can all bet on other nations ratcheting up their internal/external surveillance efforts as a result of recent disclosures.
So there is nowhere to hide because there is nothing you can hide any longer anyway.
The NSA probably has a full time analyst reading and tracking all Zero Hedge articles and comments.
The NSA should be warned that reading Zero Hedge articles and comments will eventually create another whistleblower once the analyst's eyes are opened as he/she reads Zero Hedge.
another important blog DailyKos, which was set up to counter the tyranny of W Bush, went into a self destructive spiral after status quo politics took over the meme. the democratic party solution didn't work out in the short run, or the long run. Pelosi became speaker in 2006, and made promises to take away the Iraq war budget, and run the lobbyists out of Washington. Then came the campaign of hope and change. The site had been taken over by partisan hacks, and progressive brown shirts. Bloggers critical of the party were trolled. The party fell on its face.
most of the trolls were just serious ideologues, but you have to guess some of them were paid. the site is still up, but very little of it gets out into the wider internet world. if the NSA wanted to the impair this site that's probably how they would go about it. the same thing happened to Greenwald at Salon, he was way too over the top for them, so he ends up at the Guardian.
if there's anything about ZH that gives it some immunity, its the bipartisan opposition to government oppression, (financial and otherwise) its not hard to find people who hate bush AND obama, which is the way it should be (who can tell the difference?)
the distraction of partisan (democratic) politics as a response to the polices of w bush, whose administration put far greater restraints on journalists than ever existed (c bernstein has talked about how they used the security clearance as a hurdle to filter out certain messages and messengers) far greater restraints on demonstrators, (protest zones miles from away from the site) and of course Patriot act methods of data gathering (first practised in China on dissidents by Google and Microsoft) bush was the manchurian president. there is no underestimating how much of the constitution was shreaded in those two terms, obama has only seem fit to keep shreading, after promising something far far different. the progressive meme is dead.
i was just there, one story has a picture of bob dylan and joan baez. i am surprised a few of these aging hipsters don't come out against obama. concern about the NSA tracking ZH by itself isn't a concern, its their analysis, and then of course once you have all this political information, how to filter out the messages and messengers you don't like. lilke DailyKos, sometimes with a little push the bloggers go right where you want them. (irrelevancy : standing on the old progressive message while the world changes, and you sell out your constuitents to their new oppressors, financial and totalitarian cradle to grave mandatory insurance for the poor, annuitities for the rich)

The fuckers are using intelligence to watch porn and get insider information for their next trade. With that, here are some interesting pix from one of our allies (courtesy of cryptome) they can view:

just scroll down.
Well, that is a new kind of link on ZeroHedge there, Lumberjack
Your link to internet radical dissident site Cryptome, and the 'uncensored' photos of nubile Israeli female soldiers getting undressed and in various activities
The ones of the girls naked except for knickers (panties) and boots, and with the full-auto assault weapons, are pretty funny
John Young surprised me with that one.
What would Imperial Rome do?
Imperial Rome would despatch a squadron of F-22's to intercept any aircraft bearing Snowden outside Russian airspace, and force it to land on soil owned by the US or one of its satrapies.
Hmm, outside Russian airspace. In case of a Hong Kong - Moscow flight that would be ..... prolly China.
Yeah, right, that'd be a huuuge win for Imperial Rome...
+1
with the exception of Chinee airspace, of course :-)
For a start, AnAnonymous wouldn't allow such egregious US citizenism to happen over his very own Land of the Free.
I do not know what Rome would do, but I do know how Rome ended up in the end. Not good. Not good at all.

this Alexander photo makes him look like James Jesus Angleton of "Mother" CIA fame.
Paranoid shill who never forgave himself for being taken for a huge ride by his KGB alter ego : Kim Philby.
When you be a pig in the dirty game pigsty there is always someone who is faster on the dirty draw than you are.
James Jesus Angleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Game of fools and we be their unknowing and suffering tools.
Au contraire... both Philby and Angleton were moles at the very heart of their respective governments' intelligence services. Angleton outlasted Philby, to whom he, in part, owed his own tuition in the game... by maintaining his contacts with the highest levels of the western security networks, in particular that of a tiny terrorist statelet, whose own undercover agency, Mossad, he helped to train and position.
It was only towards the close of his career, with the damage of his many years of aiding the enemy already done, that JJ began to realize the extent of his own naivety ... he honestly believed himself a patriot, and had simply followed the suggestions given him by his 'friends' in the israeli intelligence community... who led him to believe that theirs was a 'deep game'... of the kind he was so drawn to. He never really understood the functional integration between the Soviet spy service and the israeli one... until it was too late to do anything other than cover up for his many sins. That's why he told his wife on his deathbed...""I've made so many mistakes."
Philby and Angleton were both triple agents... but the third party in this menage a trois was israel. JJ understood and sympathized with Philby's position... there was no betrayal between them - two classic goy dupes of a storyline even Le Carre was afraid to touch.
John Le Carre did write 'the little drummer girl". So he did touch the Palestinian issue somewhat, and of course Stasi.
Despite the plot, some reviewers thought it transcends the spy novel genre.[2] "The Little Drummer Girl is about spies", said William F. Buckley, writing in the New York Times, "as Madame Bovary is about adultery or Crime and Punishment about crime."[3]
Some people can tell literature from sterile harping on about bogeymen and a bogey state which was first formulated by the Balfour Declaration of Rule Britannia days. Pure invention of divide and rule imperial play by those who shared the spoils of Ottoman decay; no zionists there nor Bolshis, just Brits, and French (Sykes-Picot).
Now unless you believe the whole British aristocracy cabal was already working for Zion as of 1916, and Queen Victoria before that was a tool of the Rothscilds, I would so like political History to stand on its base and not on its apex!
Thank you.
The Rothschilds & their proxies were busy buying land in Palestine from its Ottoman occupiers (and from under the feet of its rightful owners, I might add) well before Balfour, chum
yes probably, but it was the seal of officialdom offered by Pax Britannica that gave this private impetus a legal and strategic impetus leading to the formation of Israel as UN state 30 years later.
Don't confuse imperial power with surrogate money, one leads the other follows. History is written by the sword and lubricated by golden coin.
Today, without military might the US would never control the Oil pipeline and petrodollar hegemony. Not saying in an industrial and complex world the sword is all. It needs money to maintain the MIC; lots.
Now power is a matrix of sword and money and oil all intertwined.
That's why Hollande dines tonite with the Qatari clan.
BTW : at the G8 Obammy gave Hollande an ultimatum : In the forthcoming US/EU commercial talks we DON'T want you to impose cultural exception to the Internet; aka Google/Facebook/Yahoo/Apple hegemony. Otherwise there will be massive US retaliation, you have been warned. Signed Obama!

I am pleased and honoured that some of the best and brightest amongst us have stepped into the breach and taken up the struggle against a mendacious revising of history which takes it's cue from the desire to confuse and misdirect the honest quest of all of us to understand our presently precarious circumstances...
courtesy of a man whom I as recently as this past week commended to the general assembly here as a writer of historical fiction not to be lightly regarded.
If only man(and I speak in a general sense here inclusive of any and all of us)could be content to dwell upon and within his own strengths... rather than attempt the Icarus-style effort to float higher than those very strengths and talents allow for...
we would all be better for the recognition of ourselves as pieces of a puzzle as necessary one to the other as a bee is to pollen, and a plant to it's soil. Give it some thought, Falak buddy... I'd much rather credit you with good faith but questionable judgment than have to continue with an exegis of your current trajectory(but most certainly will if required!)
The first recorded plan for political Zionism was the correspondence between Sir Moses Montefiore, the President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, and Charles Henry Churchill, the British consul in Damascus ... in 1841-2.
By 1840, the Montefiores had intermarried with a number of the Rothschilds. By 1860, Sir Moses Montefiore had established the first Jewish residential settlement outside Jerusalem.
In 1882, Baron Edmond James de Rothschild began buying land in the region of Palestine and financing Jewish agricultural settlements and industrial enterprises.
The Balfour Declaration was the end of the Zionist process to gain legitimacy in Palestine, not the beginning.
Your shallow reading of history is [as usual] woeful.
