can't wait for the movie on this. IMO Danny Devitto will play Evo Morales :lol

[boutons_deux]

Looks like CIA/NSA has blackmailed those countries with information it vacuumed off Internet, etc. these past 12 years or more.

[cheguevara]

this is france we are talking about. They probably surrendered as soon as Biden said "Buenos Dias" :lmao

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Tit for tat. They killed two US citizens a few years ago, this is just chickens coming home to roost for those fuckers as far as I'm concerned.

[cheguevara]

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

:lmao Fraud Obama butthurt

[cheguevara]

truth is treason in an empire of lies

[Th'Pusher]

Nobody has been charged with treason and neither Obama nor Snowden have committed treason as it is defined by the constitution. You two sound like a couple of morons when you throw around words which you clearly do not understand.

[cheguevara]

:lol now we are to follow what the Constitution says?

that document has long been forgoten.

[Rogue]

European are still being pussies, like a bitch who got cheated on by the US but still don't dare to do a damn thing to show any disapproval

[cheguevara]

Portuguese are completely broke, US probably offered to pay their lunch that day.

The Spaniards were probably too busy watching a soccer match and said, sure whatever.

The CIA has probably so much dirt on Italian politicians and their underage prostitutes, that the US could probably ask for the Vatican, and they'd say. Sure.

ANd the French, last but not least, they bend over at the drop of a hat.

that's the EU for you :lol

the only responsible ones seem the Germans. Too bad they got neutered after WWII and the biggest US Military base is sitting right in their front yard :lol

[Rogue]

^true, Germans of Europe are the japs of Asia

[cheguevara]

Germans were a promising peoples. They are big, smart, good looking and fun to be around with.

Too bad they got their testicles extracted in 1945

now they are like a asexual beings, can never look forward to being on the top ever again.

yes same as the Japanese. Sad races of peoples

[Rogue]

Germans never get late for a date, and the cars they make are the badasses. I'm not a Nazi sympathizer but I do believe that the grand Europe (rather than the US) would've been the center of the world if ruled by Germans. They could've negotiated a truce with the UK to prevent the US intervening, and even if the war against commies was inevitable, they could've got better prepared with an extra 2-3 years' time and when the war actually broke out in 1943 or 44, they wouldn't have to worry about the backyard. the US wouldn't offer Stalin any free supplies so the Russians would've starved to death within 3 years of the war's beginning

Germans wouldn't be able to occupy the entire Soviet Union maybe, but they could've at least driven all the red army east of the Volka river and forced stalin to sign cease-fire, then those cities like Moskova and Stalingrad would've become the eastern-most German cities :drool:

[cheguevara]

interesting point.

a 3rd true superpower could possibly been a blessing in disguise for checks and balances. Let's just face it, the cold war was not only a waste of everyone's time, but boring as hell.

now that US is slowly declining and China and Russia are making a comeback, things will probaly get interesting.

[ElNono]

Funny too, because they probably don't ground him if they think he's carrying 3 tons of cocaine on that plane...

and lol @ Rajoy pretending he didn't know shit

[Jacob1983]

Instead of chasing this little pecker, why doesn't America fix America for a change? How much money is wasted on this manhunt?

[z0sa]

Snow or snowden?

[hater]

:lol im sure evo has a package for every single eurotrash politician and distributes it like santa around europe. You know damn well those eurotrash corrupt politicians need to provide the blow for their underage prostitutes and sodomy parties. Fucking sick fucks

Thats when Evo needs a defense minister like Sosa and call up Obama and tell him "u fucked me Barack U fucking little monkey!"

[Wild Cobra]

OK, here's the $64 million dollar question.

This guy obviously leaked classified information that is damaging. The only thing I can say would be in his favor would be if the leaks were of specific abuses of the surveillance. If that isn't the case, then may this guy rot in hell, and be hanged as a traitor.

[LnGrrrR]

WC, how is it obvious? Because the government said so? :)

[boutons_deux]

WC, how is it obvious? Because the government said so? :)

yawn, WC ALWAYS sides any organization, establishment over any individual.

[Wild Cobra]

WC, how is it obvious? Because the government said so? :)
Is everyone OK with the content of what was leaked? If so, I wasn't aware of that.

[LnGrrrR]

Is everyone OK with the content of what was leaked? If so, I wasn't aware of that.

Who's everyone? Are you saying that if the government doesn't approve of the leaked information, then the leaker should be punished? I think that would severely limit info leaked. :p

WC, when do you think it's appropriate for someone to leak information?

Iceland lawmakers discuss citizenship for Snowden

http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/07/04/3010328/iceland-lawmakers-discuss-citizenship.html

Unlike USA, Icdeland screwed its bankers for screwing Iceland. The ideal country to stick it to USA by protecting Snowden.

[cheguevara]

Iceland would be ideal. But it seems it's getting little support from Icelandic parties other than the Pirate Party :lol

another news you won't hear in your mainstream media:

Internation Human Rights agency urges governments to accept Snowden's request for asylum. The aggressivenes of USA's persecution of snowden and threats to nations is violation of Human Rights. they also mention USA has harbored CHinese dissidents and "traitors" in the past.

:lmao Obama, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize :lmao :lmao :lmao

US Ambassador to Austria Reportedly Responsible for False Claim Snowden Was on Bolivian Leader’s Plane -->
(http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/2013/07/05/us-ambassador-to-austria-reportedly-responsible-for-false-claim-snowden-was-on-bolivian-leaders-plane/)
The Austrian daily newspaper, Die Presse, has reported that the United States ambassador to Austria was responsible for making false claims that National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden was on board Bolivian President Evo Morales’ plane.

In a story published on July 3, the newspaper reported shortly after Morales’ plane landed the “Vienna foreign department received a phone call.” The caller was the US ambassador to Austria, William Eacho.

According to Die Presse, Eacho “claimed with great certainty that Edward Snowden was onboard.” He also made reference to a “diplomatic note requesting Snowden’s extradition.”

President Barack Obama nominated Eacho to be ambassador in June 2009. Prior to that, he had not served in any diplomatic position. He had a background in real estate investment as CEO of Carlton Capital Group, LLC, and food service distribution as Vice President of Alliant Foodservice Inc. He was one of Obama’s biggest campaign fundraisers. His contribution to Obama’s election was rewarded with an ambassadorship. -- more --> (http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/2013/07/05/us-ambassador-to-austria-reportedly-responsible-for-false-claim-snowden-was-on-bolivian-leaders-plane/)

Counterpunch: The Snowden Affair and the Destruction of Effective Democracy in Europe -->> (http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/07/05/the-servility-of-the-satellites/)

The Servility of the Satellites

…this disrespect for the law is linked to a more basic institutional change: the destruction of effective democracy at the national level. This has been done by the power of money in the United States, where candidates are comparable to race horses owned by billionaires. In Europe, it has been done by the European Union, whose bureaucracy has gradually taken over the critical economic functions of independent states, leaving national governments to concoct huge controversies around private matters, such as marriage, while public policy is dictated from the EU Commission in Brussels.

But behind that Commission, and behind the US electoral game, lies the identical anonymous power that dictates its desires to this trans-Atlantic entity: financial capital.

This power is scheduled to be formally extended in the near future by the establishment of a free trade zone between the European Union and the United States. This development is the culmination of the so-called “European construction” that over several decades has transferred powers of sovereign European states to the EU, which in turn will transfer its power to trans-Atlantic institutions, all under the decisive control of “the Markets” – euphemism for financial capital.

The explanation for this surrender lies in the ideology that has dominated Europe, and France perhaps most of all, for the past half century. A particular interpretation of the history of the mid-twentieth century has undermined confidence in popular sovereignty, (wrongly) accused of leading to “totalitarianism”. This ideology has prepared elites to abdicate in favor of technical institutions and “markets” that seem innocent of all political sins. The power of financial capital and its US champion is less the cause than the result of this political abdication.

Only this can explain the extraordinary rush of European governments to obey the slightest whim of the American master, on the eve of the negotiations for a trans-Atlantic free trade zone which European leaders will portray to their populations as compensation for the ongoing destruction of the European social welfare model. Principles, diplomatic decency, Edward Snowden, must all be sacrificed to this desperate last attempt to put Europe out of reach of the influence of its people.
