Senatoren: Ecuador und Russland sollen wegen Snowden bestraft werden

Nicht unerwartet wurde der NSA-Bespitzelungsskandal über das Wochenende hinweg bis heute grösstenteils beschönigt, wobei die Senatoren Chuck Schumer (Demokraten, New York) und John McCain (Republikaner, Arizona) sich stattdessen darauf konzentrierten, neue diplomatische Krisen hervorzurufen, um die Länder zu ärgern, die am Entkommen Snowdens beteiligt waren.

Biden and Panetta Sued by Navy Seal Team VI and Special Ops Families

„It is hypocritical and outrageous that while the Obama Justice Department can criminally charge Edward Snowden for allegedly disclosing classified national security information and wage an international manhunt for his arrest, Biden and Panetta get off scot free for their callous, cynical, opportunistic illegal release of the identity of SEAL Team VI in the Bin Laden killing — allegedly orchestrated to boost President Obama‘s and Vice President Biden‘s reelection prospects in the months leading up to the 2012 November 6 election.

Can mere ordinary Americans triumph over the evil that is “their” government without the aid of a superhero? If ideas are strong enough and Americans can comprehend them, good can prevail over the evil that is concentrated in Washington. What stands between the American people and their comprehension of evil is their gullibility.

Newly Leaked NSA Slides On PRISM Add To Confusion, Rather Than Clear It Up

What‘s amazing is that I‘ve seen people claiming completely contrary things in looking over these slides: some are insisting it shows that the companies who are „members“ of PRISM don‘t — as was originally reported — open up their servers to the NSA. Others insist that the slides actually support that original reporting and show that the companies are lying.

Euro-Gilde schaltet um: Von “Pro-Amerikaner” auf “Anti-Amerikaner”, von Anti-”Südeuropäer” zu Pro-”Südeuropäer”

Die Spionage-Affäre um Edward Snowden und die vermeintliche Empörung über Spionage “der Amerikaner”, sowie eine vom durch Jugendarbeitslosigkeit bedrohten F.D.P.-Wirtschaftsminister Philipp Rösler vorgetragene Offerte “Südländern” / “Südeuropäern” Arbeitsplätze bzw Ausbildungsplätze in der Republik Deutschland anzubieten, haben einen einfachen Zusammenhang. Die feudale Euro-Gilde wechselt zwecks Erhalt und Ausbau ihres Plünderungssystems von dem sich lebt schlicht die Taktik.

In Teil IV der Schriftreihe DIE ELEMENTE DES MENSCHEN habe ich die verschiedenen Taktiken einer winzigen feudalen Schicht, die die restliche Gesellschaft ausbeutet und darin von dieser mehrheitlich auch noch gestützt wird, dargelegt. Die von mir bereits prognostizierte und nun unter exzessivem Geheuchel (nur 1, 2, 3, 4 Beispiele) aufgelegte “Europa”-Platte bezüglich der Spionage-Affäre um Edward Snowden fällt unter Methode 2. Das “herzensgute” Angebot von F.D.P.-Wirtschaftsminister Philipp Rösler für Ausbildungsplätze für die eben noch “Südländer” genannten “Südeuropäer” unter Methode 3.
