General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: POLL: Should Snowden Come Back to the US to Face "Justice"? [View all]Snowden would have to be STUPID to return now,
and those calling for him to do so are likewise.
Snowden has proved he is NOT stupid.
The Colonial Royalists (authoritarians) also called the early American "insurgents" cowards
because they wouldn't stand up and let the Forces of the Government administer Justice (AKA Shoot them down).
I think the American insurgents were pretty smart.
The fact that General Clapper can openly LIE to the Senate "Oversight" Committee under OATH
and then walk away laughing PROVES the our government is the LAST place Snowden need to go for "justice".
Our system is BROKEN.
There is NO justice for Clapper.
There is NO justice for Manning and the other Whistle Blowers,
and there certainly will be NO Justice for Edward Snowden here in the USA.
*Rampant Government Secrecy and Democracy can not co-exist.
*Persecution of Whistle Blowers and Democracy can not co-exist.
*Government surveillance of the citizenry and Democracy can not co-exist.
*Secret Laws and Democracy can not co-exist.
*Secret Courts and Democracy can not-co-exist.
*Our Democracy depends on an informed electorate.
You either believe in Democracy,
or you don't.
It IS that simple.
