EDWARD SNOWDEN OBEYED THE WORD OF GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION

EDWARD SNOWDEN OBEYED THE WORD OF GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION

Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom

Though He Is Vilified By Many, I Believe That
Mr. Snowden Is An American Hero

Michael Anthony Peroutka, Western Journalism — I’ve been in a lot of airports lately, and airports are hard on me.

Nowadays, airports seem to be places where we get to see a preview of the latest loss of American liberty and the purposeful degradation of a once vibrant and decent culture.

Because airports are a natural checkpoint through which people must pass to exercise their God-given and constitutionally protected right to travel, the police state uses them to try out various methodologies by which Americans can be herded, abused, controlled, and, all the while, dehumanized. All this is done, of course, for the ostensible purpose of safety.

Now, apparently, it’s not enough for the police state to spy on us. Lately, I’ve seen signs and heard announcements seemingly designed to encourage us to spy on each other.

The announcements from the government agency they call the TSA says, “If you see something, say something.”

The message here is that you should be on the lookout for illegal or suspicious activity; and if you become aware of it, you have a duty to share it–toward the end that criminality can be exposed and addressed appropriately.

This all flashed through my mind last week when I watched the hour long interview of Edward Snowden.

Until about this time last year, Mr. Snowden worked as a System Administrator for a company known as Booz Allen Hamilton. In the course of his work, he became aware of massive illegality on the part of his employer and the Federal Government.

Upon learning the details of purposeful government violations of the Fourth Amendment’s protection of privacy – the right to be left alone from government snooping without a probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed – he decided to reveal details of the criminal spying activity of the government.

As a result, he has found it necessary to flee the country.

The very government that he has charged with massive violations of its charter document, the Constitution, has charged him with, among other things, theft of government property. Many in the press have vilified him as someone who violated his contract with his employer (and with the Feds). They think he should be punished for failing to keep the government’s criminal activities secret.

But, in a sense, didn’t he just follow the advice of the government, itself?

Remember, “…if you see something, say something.”

Well, he sure saw something. He saw massive criminality on the part of the government, itself. And he said something.

Though he is vilified by many, I believe that Mr. Snowden is an American hero.

Let me briefly explain.

Mr. Snowden, and those for whom he worked, both in and out of government, whether they like it or not, are bound by the Supreme Law of the Land – the Constitution.

His allegiance to that document, to the American people, and to God requires him to expose violations of the law. I am grateful that he did so.

I can certainly understand the desire for the government and its lapdog media to demonize him, since this serves to deflect attention from their own wrongdoing.

But remember, the government that labels him a criminal has a long, long record of criminal conduct itself.

What about that government property he is accused of stealing? Didn’t the government steal that from us in the first place?

In the Book of Ephesians, chapter 5 at verse 11, we are warned to “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

I am grateful that Mr. Snowden obeyed this law, which is the Supreme Law of the Universe.

The News Is Being Manipulated
To Coverup The Truth

Air Date: September 06, 2013

On Today’s Show:
Vic sought the opinion of the Crosstalk listeners in relation to the following stories:

• Listeners may have seen photos of children that were allegedly slain by sarin gas in Syria. On May 27th of last year the BBC ran a photograph supposedly showing victims of violence in Syria. The problem with this is that the BBC used a file photo of a child from Iraq in 2003 among the lines of body bags that had been found south of Baghdad. The headline described this as a massacre in Syria. The photographer was astounded that the BBC would use his photo in this way without checking sources. The BBC pulled the photo but defended its use.

• Recently Secretary of State John Kerry compared Assad of Syria with Hitler, Hussein; calling him a thug and murderer.

• According to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, 1 in every 5 applicants looking for a position within the CIA had ties to Hamas, Hezbollah or Al-Qaida.

• Former Obama Syria advisor comes out against the President because of the way he is handling the Assad regime.

• Charlie Rangel describes Obama's behavior as embarrassing when it comes to his dithering on the military strike against Syria.

• Russian warships are headed for Syria with “special cargo”.

• Italian warship could evacuate troops from Lebanon.

‘YOU SUCK!’: NANCY PELOSI BOOED, HECKLED BY LIBERAL ACTIVISTS OVER SNOWDEN COMMENTS

“SECRETS AND LIES!”

Dave Urbanski , TheBlaze — Liberal activists booed and heckled House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi after she stated Saturday that former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden broke the law by leaking details of classified surveillance programs.

It all happened at the annual Netroots Nation conference in San Jose, which gives “progressive voices…an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate” its site says.

The Huffington Post describes the scene:

As she spoke about the need to “balance” privacy and security, a man stood and yelled, “it’s not a balance, it makes us less safe.” The man continued to decry “secret courts,” and staffers began to escort him from the room.

Pelosi said it was fine for him to stay, but the man was eventually ejected. On the way out, some members of the audience began to shout at the staffers to “leave him alone.”

The conversation then shifted to Snowden, who on Friday was charged with espionage over his leaking of classified documents to media outlets.

Pelosi said that Snowden “did violate the law in terms of releasing those documents,” a remark that elicited boos and yells throughout the ballroom. One man screamed, “You suck!”

Others yelled “Secrets and lies!” and “No secret courts!” and “Protect the First Amendment!” according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Below is the full video of Pelosi’s remarks. She runs into resistance around the 47-minute mark, but things get hairy at about 50:45 after she calls Snowden a lawbreaker: » Full Article
