You have no idea how much we'd like to leave for summer break on a good note. Not planning to return until after Labor Day, we'd much prefer to leave you with something other than a dire warning. But as prisoners of the truth we're bound by principle clue you in.
As the headline reads, we're recommending you NOT trust the United States government anymore than you'd trust U. S. based media outlets.
For those beyond the borders of the US, you too may be wise to remain distrustful of what your governments are telling you. France, Germany and the United Kingdom have all been busted for spying on their citizens, bugging foreign embassies as well as cooperating with the United States' NSA/CIA intelligence gathering operations.
Der Spiegel reports Germany is in bed all the way with the NSA. France's Le Monde is now reporting, the General Directorate of External Security (the DGSE, or special services) routinely gathers the electromagnetic signals emitted by computers and telephones in France, and the flow of signals between France and countries abroad. Meaning; the entirety of French communications are being spied on. All of French email messages, SMS messages, itemized phone bills and connections to FaceBook and Twitter are being captured and stored for years.
With the United Kingdom being recently exposed for spying on foreign governments attending the 2009 G-20 Summit and the latest row over planting a surveillance device in the Ecuadorian embassy housing Wikileaks fugitive Julian Assange, we see this as a global crisis. This issue has grown far beyond Americans being spied upon by its own government. This issue has dangerous implications for every man, woman and child on the planet.
Perhaps, this is the reason the United States have turned Edward Snowden into the "World's Most Wanted". Perhaps this is why the President of the United States literally highjacked the plane of another world leader, had said plane forcible searched and to this date refused to offer an explanation for his outrageous and unprecedented actions.
Perhaps this is why France, Spain, Portugal and Italy were forced to fold under U.S. pressure to assist in the U.S.' international Stop and Frisk operation at its highest level.
In our view, this is really scary stuff. But believe it or not the worst part of this tale, is how U.S. media outlets either failed to capture and cover the important angles of these events or worse, they're covering for the administration by underreporting and or misreporting one of the hottest stories in years.
Whatever Edward Snowden still has up his sleeve and plans to share with the world, it must be big to caused the United States government to act so rash and so reckless. Unfortunately for the Obama administration, we think the world will want to know more of what Mr. Snowden has to say than ever.
