I don’t want American media to be required to be accountable to Barack Nobama.

Well Nero, at my age I really don’t care anymore. With anywhere from 10 to 20 years left I just want to rest, fish and enjoy life without the politics.

Staying on this thread as this develops....as I have said..Assange is in this Snowden event Big time...and I believe we’ll find instrumental in getting Snowden to act for him.....

from the article....

....... ‘Julian Assange is again challenging the world order’........

Exactly a year after being forced to incarcerate himself in a small room in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, the Wikileaks founder who is helping NSA whistleblower Snowden has proven he can still enrage the U.S. and its allies.

....Assange has been trying for a while to upend the accepted structure. Two years ago he began presenting an interview show for the Kremlin-financed Russia Today network...... and after falling out with most of the major western news organizations, ........

.......then he began to collaborate with radical newspapers and websites such as the ‘Hezbollah-’supporting Al-Akhbar’.

. ....His cooperation with mainstream newsgroups such as the New York Times ended after major difference on the publication of Wikileaks materials such as the necessity to redact the names of sources who could be harmed........... Assange accused them of trying to harm him and his organization – he accused the editors of The Guardian of being part of a “Jewish” conspiracy to block fundraising for Wikileaks.

The fact that for the last two and a half years, since Wikileaks published the State Department cables, the organization has failed to recreate a similar coup with its subsequent publications............ (which included the emails of a minor private intelligence company, hundreds of thousands of random Syrian emails and archives of Henry Kissinger that had already been published) ...........contributed to the impression that Assange had become a marginal and laughable figure.

Now, a year after entering isolation, he is achieving sweet revenge by assuming patronage for Snowden whose revelations provided major headlines for The Guardian and the Washington Post in recent weeks.

Assange is trying to prove he doesn’t need the mainstream media and through the internet and with the help of social networks, radical bloggers and anarchist hackers such as members of the Anonymous collective....... who probably supplied the materials for Wikileaks recent publication,..... he can dictate the media’s agenda and continue provoke the Western powers.

This afternoon he was back in the limelight when hundreds of reporters from around the world listened in to his phone press conference; despite his saying nothing new about Snowden’s whereabouts, save for the revelation that he was “healthy and safe.”

I’m with ya buddy! But I don’t want to rest in socialist Ecuador. Good ol’ conservative, red state, free market Bitterroot Mountains in Idaho or Montana will work just fine for me.

He was manufactured by the very same corrupt government Termitocracy he’s exposing.

Government is corrupt because those who comprise it have failed to limit their scope to the defined purpose thereof: TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS.

They serve only themselves with their lies - “and because of this, God gave them over”.

He wasn't manufactured by anyone...It's why he opened the lid on their illegal activities.

If ya want to see who is "manufactured" and or manipulate, by the wealthy insiders, look no further than your elected non-representative representatives in Congress, the Senate, D.C. etc...

Ya call the guy who warned the American people they were literally being spied upon by their own government, a traitor?

I find that rather suspect.

The McSheeple didn’t know that CIA-Seeded Google might be using their queries to profile them?

Duh.

I think it’s an opportunity for FReepers to educate the XBox Generation Termites regarding the specified scope of purpose that they’ve been demoralized into exceeding.

YMMV

So corrupt gov just used a web browser as a way to illegally obtain information on and spy on the Goggling public?

That’s the extent of their illegal electronic monitoring/eavesdropping?

And you knew all about this CIA involvement prior to it being revealed by inside sources?
