Stand with Edward Snowden

[bernard75]

This 29 year-old analyst just gave up his whole life -- his girlfriend, his job, and his home -- to blow the whistle on the US government's shocking PRISM program -- which has been reading and recording our emails, Skype messages, Facebook posts and phone calls for years.

When Bradley Manning passed this kind of data to Wikileaks, the US threw him naked into solitary confinement in conditions that the UN called "cruel, inhumane and degrading".

The authorities and press are deciding right now how to handle this scandal. If millions of us stand with Edward in the next 48 hours, it will send a powerful statement that he should be treated like the brave whistleblower that he is, and it should be PRISM, and not Edward, that the US cracks down on.

At least when we sign a petition we're actually doing something. It's a powerful statement of the will of the people.

I suggest more people sign this, its the right thing to do

Barely (no disrespect).  Although White House petitions do get an answer if they get enough signatories.  The Death Star request amused me no end.

Far better to put pen to paper and actually write to your elected officials.

Not that it matters in this case.  The legality of the NSA's approach will be tested in court (the American Civil Liberties Union is suing).

At first I was like:     When I saw that 361k ppl had signed it already. (Fully 1% of our population)

But then I was like:    When I saw that most of the signers weren't even from our population.

- Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

- Don't believe ANYTHING you see on the mainstream media - if the story is originating from the MSM, its a psy-op.


That said, I couldn't care less about 'Edward Snowden' - if that's even his real name.

Those people are also being spied on. It seems fair that they should also have a voice.
