EDWARD SNOWDEN AND THE USA

I'm sure that everyone here is aware of the NSA spying documents that were recently leaked by Edward Snowden. If not, here's a brief summary:

Basically the United States' National Security Agency was spying on not only other countries' governments and people, but on their own American citizens, too. They were spying through the phones and the internet, and through various other methods. This is similar to how the Stasi used to spy on suspicious persons in East Germany in the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s. See, the difference is that, unlike the Stasi, who are/were widely viewed as oppressive and terrible, the US is not. The US is thought of as a good country for the most part. Does a good country, one that is supposed to set an example for others, spy on it's own populace? Probably not, but this is exactly what the US was doing. In fact, they were even tapping the phones of world leaders. Take Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, for example. After Snowden leaked the files about the spying, and after the Germany Intelligence Agency did a small investigation of it's own, she called Obama and asked something along the lines of: "are you bugging my mobile phone?" Obama didn't have much to say except "no comment." Later, a US spokesperson for the Whitehouse claimed that, "no one is bugging the Chancellor's mobile phone." Let's be real, though. The US probably was listening in. Another incident occurred when François Hollande, President of France, called Obama to ask about the allegations that the USA was reading the text messages of millions of French citizens. Even the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, said that they went too far with the spying. This was obviously an extremely horrible thing to do, and it was pretty much illegal, according to privacy rights statements from around the world.  

So, now that that's cleared up, let's get to the point. The US wants to charge Edward Snowden with espionage and a flurry of other charges! The man who simply made the people aware of the horrible things that were happening to them. Doesn't it seem pretty retarded that the US is admitting to "going too far" with the spying, yet looking to jail the person that announced this? 

America is a fascist country, that is quite apparent. Though they enjoy preaching freedom to other countries, they don't seem to be able to allow anyone to live their lives in freedom. They are a modern day totalitarian regime. They feel like they are entitled to the whole world, and that they have the right to impose their ideology on everybody. They feel like they are entitled to spy on anybody. This is absurd!

Let's go back to Snowden. There are actually people in the US that do not work for the government, who support Snowden's jailing. The people who the crime of invasion of privacy was committed against support having the man who told them about it incarcerated. Edward Snowden told people that they were having their rights violated, and those same people call for his arrest. This proves that the American public is brainwashed, totally and absolutely. Their own government was spying on them in the same way that the Stasi were spying on East Germans. Ironically, the US professes that the Stasi were horrible people, and that they were horrible communists that didn't let their people do as they please. Wait, does the US let it's people do as they please? On paper, yes. In reality, no. They spy on those people, and take advantage of them. Well US, if the Stasi were bad for spying on their people, what are you? See, the US isn't just spying on it's own citizens, rather on other countries' citizens, too. So the US is pretty much the WORLD'S BIGGEST DICTATOR! :) 

There are of course US citizens who support Snowden, but it is appalling that there are any at all that are opposed to Snowden. This is why I'm writing this post. To show that the American government is today's most oppressive country. 

The US has enough pride to admit to spying, and then, instead of bowing their heads and apologizing, call for the arrest of the man who opened the world's eyes! Edward Snowden is a modern day hero, and should be hailed as one. He shouldn't have to seek asylum, his country should allow him to stay. I hope with all my heart that a country offers Snowden asylum - he deserves it. I hope that the American people open their eyes and give Mr. Snowden the credit he deserves. Most of all, I hope that the world is able to recognize and call the bullshit that is the US of A. If the American people had any free thinking ability they would revolt, and overturn their government. If they did, the government would never do anything like this again. But sadly, the citizens of the US are mindless, and the government is good at creating propaganda.

Thomas Jefferson said "when the people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears it's people, there is liberty." Dear readers, the US citizens fear, and should fear, their government. Their government is tyrannical, not only to the US, but to everybody else in the world, too. If the US government feared it's people, if it feared any sort of revolt, they wouldn't be able to muster up the courage to spy on them. There is no liberty in the US.   

Pierre Trudeau once said: "the government has no business in the bedrooms of the people." This statement is obviously morally right, and it shows what a great man Trudeau was. Mostly however, it shows what a horrible fleck on planet Earth the US is. It's due to fail. I hope that it changes it's governing skills for the better - and quick, because sooner or later, somebody is going to get fed-up with the most dictatorial nation in the world.
