Obama's mouthpiece and Flack-in-Chief,
Jay Carney, attacked Russia for allowing Edward Snowden, the
persecuted whistleblower who has exposed details of the “National
Security” Agency's massive surveillance of everyone on earth they
possibly can spy on, to have some human rights defenders visit him in
his de facto holding cell in the Moscow Airport transit
lounge. The aptly-named Carney denounced Russia for permitting
Snowden to have “a propaganda platform.” In other words, the
Russian government should silence and repress Snowden and prevent him
from meeting with anyone. No freedom of speech at all, no freedom of
association with others.
Snowden is a person who hasn't been
(officially) convicted of anything yet- although the U.S. Government,
various political apparatchiks, and most of the U.S. media has
convicted him of “treason,” for the unauthorized
disclosure of “national defense data,” endangering the public,
aiding Our Enemies, etc. etc. (The anonymous “leaks” you see
daily in the same U.S. media, planted there by the same
officials denouncing Snowden and bemoaning what he did, is fine, even
though just as illegal as anything Snowden has done, because those
are things the power bosses want to plant in the public mind.)
By the way, this is the same U.S.
government that denounces Russia for political repression.
OK Jay, you're a serious thinker. We
can see that.
