Media Blacks Out New Snowden Interview The Government Doesn't Want You to See
This past Sunday evening former NSA contractor Edward Snowden sat down for an interview with German television network ARD. The interview has been intentionally blocked from the US public, with virtually no major broadcast news outlets covering this story. In addition, the video has been taken down almost immediately every time it’s posted on YouTube.
In contrast, this was treated as a major political event in both print and broadcast media, in Germany, and across much of the world. In the interview, Mr. Snowden lays out a succinct case as to how these domestic surveillance programs undermines and erodes human rights and democratic freedom.
He states that his “breaking point” was “seeing Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, directly lie under oath to Congress” denying the existence of a domestic spying programs while under questioning in March of last year. Mr. Snowden goes on to state that, “The public had a right to know about these programs. The public had a right to know that which the government is doing in its name, and that which the government is doing against the public.”
It seems clear that the virtual blackout of this insightful interview is yet another deliberate attempt to obfuscate the truth from the view of the American public.
The media has continually attempted to shill the official government lies about mass domestic surveillance programs, justifying them as necessary to fight the “War on Terror”, while attempting to painting Mr. Snowden as a traitor.
In regards to accusations that he is a traitor or a foreign agent, he states, “ If I am traitor, who did I betray? I gave all my information to the American public, to American journalists who are reporting on American issues. If they see that as treason, I think people really need to consider who they think they’re working for. The public is supposed to be their boss, not their enemy. Beyond that as far as my personal safety, Ill never be fully safe until these systems have changed.”
The attempt to bury this interview by the government/corporate symbiosis has extremely dark implications. Additionally, the fact that government officials have openly talked about assassinating Mr. Snowden cannot be taken lightly, and Mr. Snowden obviously takes these threats to his life very seriously. Sadly, the reality of the US government assassinating an American citizen is not beyond the realm of possibility in the age we live in.

THANK YOU MR.ED FOR THIS OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW VIDEO!
Edward Snowden had three great responses to President Obama's request for him to return to the United States, hire a lawyer, and go to trial:
(1) His accused crimes were actions concerned with protecting the public since he worked for the government.
(2) The nature and sensitivity of his work would never allow him to testify or defend himself in open court.
(3) The claimed violation of the 1918 Espionage Act is laughable since this act was established to go after individuals who sell sensitive information to foreign governments, as opposed to telling the taxpaying public that a U.S. government agency places in a data base all of their phone calls, e-mails, credit card charges, internet visits, home television shows watched, cash deposits and withdrawals, electrical bills and seasonal changes, types of foods eaten, medical records, and on and on........
