ASSANGE: The US Gov't is Taking on a Generation & Can Only Lose

"Today we have seen a range of extreme, bellicose statements from the US administration, attempting to bully Russia and other nation's from facilitating Mr. Snowden's asylum. Every person has the right to seek and receive political asylum. Those rights are enshrined in the United Nations agreement - of which the United States is a party.

"It is counterproductive and unacceptable for the Obama administration to try and interfere with those rights. It reflects poorly on the US administration and no self-respecting country would submit to such interference, or such bullying by the US."

"This morning the US Secretary of State called Edward Snowden a "traitor". Edward Snowden is not a traitor. He is not a spy. He is a whistleblower who has told the public and important truth. The US Secretary of State is wrong in law. In US law a 'traitor' must adhere to US enemies and there is also a requirement that the conduct is in congressionally approved war time. Neither of these, feature here.

"The Obama administration was not given a mandate by the people of the United States to attack and spy upon the entire world, to breach the US Constitution, and the laws of other nations in the manner that it has. To now attempt to violate international asylum law by calling for the rendition of Edward Snowden further demonstrates the break down of the rule of law, by the Obama administration ... 

•  STOP SPYING ON THE WORLD 
•  ERADICATE 'SECRET-LAW' 
•  CEASE INDEFINATE DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL
•  STOP THE OBAMA ADMINSTRATION'S ASSASINATION PROGRAM 
•  STOP INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES & STOP SENDING YOUNG AMERICANS OFF TO KILL & BE KILLED 

"It is these problems which are stimulating national security whistleblowers to come forward. If the Obama administration doesn't want government sources to speak to the press, it should stop engaging in conduct which is so outrageous to cause  them to come forward. The charging of Edward Snowden is not a matter of justice. It is an attempt to intimidate any country that might be considering standing up for his right - to tell us all the truth. Such behavior must not be tolerated and will not be tolerated by any self-respecting nation, or by the press at large. Everyone should tell their governments to step forward and to assist Mr. Snowden in his asylum, and the press also has an obligation to do so."

BREAKING: WHISTLE-BLOWER SACRIFICES SELF FOR COUNTRY U.S. Media Assists Gov't Witch Hunt & Distortions - Per Usual [video]

A young man with the world in his hand, gives it all up for the pursuit of Truth & Justice. 
One brave whistle-blower at the highest levels of secret-government domestic spying programs, stands tall and looks directly into the eyes of the 'super power' of the United States to say, enough is enough; Liberty or death.

While the corporate-state media carries the water - yet again - for a White House who would really like to reframe the topic of authoritarian domestic spying programs, former CIA and NSA contract employee risks his life to take a stand against extraordinary U.S. government fascism. For those unfamiliar with the story, Edward Snowden took extraordinary steps this past week to expose enormous government abuse of power. Particulary, that the United States government's intelligence agencies are spying on every single American. Can this really be so surprising to a people who have just recently found out that, this same government also falsely claims the authority to assassinate citizens at will - without due process, without even providing evidence of the government's claims against said murdered parties?
