Edward Snowden will meet with Russian human rights defenders on July 12
Ex-CIA officer expresses his opinion on the US campaign to prosecute him

Former CIA officer Edward Snowden, who is being persecuted by the United States on espionage charges, wants to meet with Russian human rights defenders and express his opinion on the US campaign to prosecute him. According to Mr. Snowden, the actions of the US authorities threaten passengers who are sent to Latin America. A meeting with human rights activists is planned to be held today at 5:00 pm at Sheremetyevo Airport, in the transit zone of which Edward Snowden has been staying since June 23.

“Edward Snowden intends to express his attitude to the manic persecution campaign launched by the US administration, which endangers passengers traveling to a number of Latin American countries,” a source in the Sheremetyevo administration told Interfax, adding that the former CIA officer “ also intends to make a statement, the essence of which has not yet been disclosed.

Ex-CIA officer received a passport of a citizen of the world. His American passport was canceled, but the document issued is not a full-fledged identity card. To get into a country granting asylum to Snowden, he will have to cross the airspace of Europe, where his plane can be detained at the request of the United States, lawyers say.

Edward Snowden was given a passport of a citizen of the world. This was reported in the non-profit organization "World Government of World Citizens", which is based in the United States. Currently, only six states officially recognize such a document - Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Mauritania, Togo, Zambia, and Ecuador, in which Snowden sought asylum. The former CIA officer has been in the Sheremetyevo transit zone for more than two weeks. His American passport was canceled, and he has no refugee documents yet. The passport of a world citizen will allow him to leave the Moscow airport, lawyer Yuri Nikolaev is sure

The United States again boycotts the Olympics in Russia.

US President Barack Obama, according to reports to the author, is depressed. Putin shows tremendous rigidity in relation to his counterpart. Everything is so bad that the White House is ready to believe in all the worst. Probably, if someone would say that Putin ordered the United States to be removed from Russian maps, Obama would surely believe this.

After what happened on Friday, Obama will believe absolutely everything if it comes from Putin. We wrote that President Obama should not have called President Putin and, as you see, were right. Putin easily withstood the pressure that no country in the world could withstand, except perhaps China. Half of the presidents of all countries of the world would have sat with their pants wet with fear, with the only news that President Obama was calling them. At the same time, Putin was not only not afraid, but also counterattacked Obama.

For some reason, American poltitologists can’t explain to their customers that they shouldn’t do things that will damage their country. Nevertheless, Obama’s call showed that political scientists do not understand what is happening. They still believe that Putin is afraid of the United States and will surely surrender as soon as Obama pushes. It should be noted that Obama is a worthless “crush”, but Putin is not the only one who can be crushed. Today, the situation looks worse than it looked last Friday, that is, before Obama’s call and before Putin answered him.

Authorities in the US are already moving to a heart-rending cry and howls. It was said that Snowden could not be given a tribune. Excuse me, what about the constitutional right of every American to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly? Yes, the Americans deprived Snowden of an American passport, but he is still a US citizen. According to no one knows, Snowden is a criminal, for example, but criminals also have rights. So in this case, the United States looks completely unconvincing and denying him freedom of speech, causing another damage to himself. The Constitution - it is a constitution for everyone, and not a brush exclusively for the heads of their own citizens. Therefore, here we can talk about a new stupidity of US policy. In general, Obama lost this round even without any hint of organized resistance.

Putin, on the contrary, not only won the round, but, ignoring the consequences, raised two armies from their homes and announced sudden exercises, and everyone was running in the Pentagon right there. Damn knows what this Russian has in mind. In general, it’s already said at the Pentagon that Putin is working out a military invasion and that it will probably be Syria. According to the author, this is of course complete nonsense, but there is one point that can be discussed. Everyone knows that Obama and Putin should meet this fall, and the Olympics in Sochi will be held next year. During the Cold War, the US has already boycotted the Moscow Summer Olympic Games.

It ended then with the defeat of the United States, because in those games the non-arrivals lost their medals. No one supported the boycott except the United States. The United States did terribly with its athletes, who were possibly preparing for the main olympiad of their lives and were unable to participate in it because some official made such a decision. Does anyone remember the name of the American president of that time? And the Moscow Olympics-80 is remembered by everyone. So who lost?

Okay, let’s tell you, then the president was also a democrat - Jimmy Carter. Will the current democrat support the boycott of the Olympics in Sochi, which is what Saakashvili is calling for in general? I must say that Russia certainly invests in the Olympics in full. The infrastructure is built the most modern, it will be a significant impetus for tourism in the future. If, under these conditions, the United States chooses to boycott the Olympics, it is likely that they will experience the worst form of Putin’s anger.

It should be noted here that the wrath of Russia is not the wrath of the United States or Britain. Look at England, well cheeks about Litvinenko and had to stomp again to Putin affably wagging his tail. The United States will not be able to without Russia. Well, you can not ignore a country that stretches from one ocean to another (across the Baltic), and even controls the Northern Sea Route. One way or another, but will have to interact with Russia. Russia does not have such a vital need. In addition to the United States and England, there are plenty of countries in developed countries that will gladly interact with Russia and will no longer be afraid of a host shout from Washington.

In the US, the theme of the boycott of the Russian Olympics is still alive. For the first time, this idea was expressed at a high level by the former US ambassador to NATO, Kurt Walker, in 2010. You can understand Mr. Walker, having suffered a crushing defeat from rusty Russian tanks, NATO could not oppose Putin except for a slurred bleating about possible troubles in the form of a boycott of the Sochi Olympics. Then the glorious Georgian soldiers showed the best results on the run from the enemy and blocked the best similar results of NATO in the history of this organization.

Now this topic pops up again, but it all starts not from the Olympics. As you know, a very intense political autumn awaits us. There are elections in Germany and meetings in the format of G-20. A meeting between Obama and Putin is also planned. This is perhaps the biggest challenge to the two countries. However, the rest of the countries also "crouched." Has anyone heard Merkel speak out about Snowden’s meeting with human rights defenders in Sheremetyevo? Or maybe Hollande broke out in an angry speech supporting the NATO ally - the United States? Here is the answer to the question. Snowden is no reason to tear the veins because of him.

Here the watershed runs along the Putin-Snowden line. If Snowden is more important to you, then you will have to give up a good relationship with Putin. The Russian president has already shown that there will be no compromise. Obama will have to come to terms with this. For Western partners, the choice is somewhat different. Support the US or Russia in this matter. However, fortunately for Europe, there is a third option, just step aside. Which, in fact, Europe did.

Speaking about the United States, it should be noted that, as for other countries, it is very unprofitable for the United States to clash with Russia now because it will also bring China to Russia, which understands its weight and its ability to strengthen opposition, but only as promotional cargo. China alone against the United States in the name of unclear what interests will certainly not go, but having received some kind of price preference for raw materials, and even with Russia, of course it will go, at the same time promoting its interests.

For once, old McCain was right when he said that the reboot with Russia should be forgotten. This is true, and for more than two years now we have been talking about the same thing. You will have to forget about the reboot in the form in which the USA saw it. Because this is a restart of the old system of American dominance that Putin will not support even though you should restart it three times again. Frankly speaking, the term was not bad at all, but everything else was ordinary State Department bullshit, which Americans used to stuff the whole world for many years. It seems that many countries have developed a persistent mechanism of rejection. The US must move from words to deeds. And it’s not McCain who should do this.

The head of the US Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano suddenly resigned, no one said why she did it, but there is no mystery here. The reason for leaving was the same Mr. Snowden. In addition to provoking a confrontation within the administration, there is something else to be said. Literally from the first day of Snowden’s flight, Madame Narolitano, with mafia persistence, twisted her arms to everyone in order to exert maximum pressure on Russia and achieve the extradition of the fugitive.

On the other hand, her department was among those guilty and unable to keep state secrets. There were clashes, Madame Narolitano tried to defend the honor of her uniform and, preferring to be excluded in this confrontation, called for initiating actions against Russia. The Obama administration has chosen the option of simplifying the situation: to personally blame it and dismiss it. Janet Napolitano, one of the most ambitious people in the American establishment, but as you can see, Putin’s authority is subject to even an active influence on the internal recruitment in the United States. This is a very strong indicator.

It is necessary to note this point especially. For some time now, people have appeared in elected posts in the United States and in positions appointed by the American president who, in one way or another, should have some qualities that will help in working with Russia. Remember Candolisa Rice, she got her place only because she said that she was fluent in Russian. Later it turned out to be not very Russian, but Czech and not perfect, and a little bit “can not speak”, but just listen. Does she understand at the same time what is at stake, no one cares at all. In general, everything turned out to be a lie and ended in complete failure.

The author of the article has already said for the hundredth time whether it doesn’t matter whether someone there speaks Russian or does not speak at all. By the way, Gorbachev was also received with a bang because he speaks English. Well, maybe for the West he was his own, but in Russia today there are few people who would frankly wish him long years. More important, however, is something else, to be able to understand the enemy (partner) not in his language, but in his response. If the United States allowed Saakashvili to wage war in South Ossetia, will Medvedev fight with Georgia. All together decided that no, but it turned out completely different! This moment should be foreseen by statesmen, and not “listen in Czech”! You will say that it is difficult to foresee the actions of a person who is not even a president, but just a prime minister, but who leads the president. Then the author will say that this is another stupidity. If the prime minister leads the president, then why focus on the president?

Once again we have to admit that in the USA there is a huge problem with staff, with analysts, with political scientists. What you hear from people in high-level executive posts looks like dense nonsense, unfortunately the next one. Exactly the same nonsense was heard before and there are no signs that something will change in the future. The United States is numb in its mistakes. This is the main problem of the USA. America does not need a reboot with Russia; Russia is developing quite normally and dynamically. America categorically spelled out perestroika as an indispensable condition for its survival. Will America boycott the Olympics in Russia, probably not. Will Obama refuse to meet with Putin this fall, of course not either. Nevertheless, they know that those who did not show up for the fight knowingly lost!

It looks like he will soon receive a residence permit in Russia.
The head of the FMS confirmed that documents from Edward Snowden for temporary political asylum in Russia have already arrived at the FMS.

It seems so!

 

[Арсен]

In my opinion, either Snowden will be given political asylum, or exchanged for our man!
