Beyond Hong Kong: Edward Snowden's best options for asylum - Iceland is preparing

 

Choice of Hong Kong as refuge is admired, but speculation remains that he could seek sanctuary in Iceland
Iceland's ministry of the interior – which would have the final say on whether Snowden received asylum – denied that it had received any application from the whistleblower.
But there was a groundswell of support for Snowden, according to information activist Smári McCarthy, executive director of the International Modern Media Institute in Iceland (IMMI), which has started making inquiries about how Snowden might be given refuge.

Snowden would have to arrive on Icelandic soil or at one of its embassies in order to claim asylum, but would have popular support in Iceland, said McCarthy. "Everywhere in the Icelandic media today we are seeing that support, with people thinking that Snowden is deserving of Iceland's protection."

Pentagon Papers' Ellsberg Says Snowden Saves Us From The "United Stasi Of America"

 

It is perhaps too early to judge the impact of Edward Snowden's confirmation of conspiracy fact, but in Pentagon Papers' Daniel Ellsberg opinion in today's Guardian, there has not been a more important leak in American history. The "executive coup" against the US constitution that has, at first sercretly but increasingly openly, been under way since 9/11 could finally be stalled by the Whistleblower's efforts. Ellsberg notes Senator Frank Church's 1975 comments on the NSA warning of the dangerous prospect that America's intelligence gathering capability "at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left," noting 'that has now happened'. That is what Snowden has exposed, with official, secret documents. The NSA, FBI and CIA have, with the new digital technology, surveillance powers over our own citizens that the Stasi – the secret police in the former "democratic republic" of East Germany – could scarcely have dreamed of.

Edward Snowden has blown the whistle on this presidency. You have to wonder: Will Obama see out his full term?

 

 

Quotes like the following are pure gold for opponents of Obama who've been accusing the President of allowing the Bush-era "surveillance state" to extend its tentacles even further:

Edward Snowden: the quiet Hawaii life of the NSA whistleblower

 

The government contractor who leaked details of top secret National Security Agency surveillance programs maintained an anonymous existence in a quiet suburb a few miles from Pearl Harbor.

Edward Snowden, 29, lived with his girlfriend in a rented corner house on a street lined with neatly trimmed lawns and hedges in Waipahu, a former sugar plantation area west of Honolulu.

He had been at the blue wooden property, close to a golf course, for around four months and commuted about 30 miles to his job at the offices of consulting giant Booz Allen Hamilton in Honolulu. The couple moved out of the home on May 1 and it is currently empty.

AND A DIFFERENT, POSSIBLE, POINT OF VIEW OR A CIA/NSA COVER-UP STORY: 

Manufactured Hero Edward Snowden – The NSA Whistleblower Exposed as Career NSA, CIA, Special Forces Trained Agent

         

Obviously, I stand by my original theory on all of this… it’s part of an elaborate scheme by the intelligence complex themselves to create unrest or at least the narrative of unrest prior to the summer of discontent in America. The “hero” whistle-blower is actually a career NSA agent, former CIA spook who trained to be Special Forces (unconventional warfare)

He is breathlessly revered by the Guardian as the next best thing to happen to democracy since Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning yet what he “leaked” is well known to anyone paying attention over the past few years.

Edward Snowden: the whistleblower behind the NSA surveillance revelations  (VIDEO) 




The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.

The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he said.

Snowden will go down in history as one of America's most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world's most secretive organisations -- the NSA.
