The one thing that can never be told is the last notion of the President, for his notions grow like a tropical forest. So in case you don't know, I'd better tell you that he is carrying out his notion of concealing ourselves by not concealing ourselves to the most extraordinary lengths just now. … He said that if you didn't seem to be hiding nobody hunted you out. Well, he is the only man on earth, I know; but sometimes I really think that his huge brain is going a little mad in its old age. For now we flaunt ourselves before the public. … They say we are a lot of jolly gentlemen who pretend they are anarchists.

Snowden's Lawyer: 'Mutually Agreed Solution with US Would Be Most Sensible'
DPA
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden appeared by video at the
ceremony for Germany'smost prestigious journalism award just over a week ago.
SPIEGEL: Mr. Kaleck, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats, described Edward Snowden as a lawbreaker during recent discussions with United States government representatives in Washington. Did that surprise you?
SPIEGEL: Are you suggesting that the interior minister hasn't done so?
Kaleck: I consider it scandalous to say, in some kind of gesture of submission to the United States, "We understand that you are treating him as a criminal and we view things similarly" -- when, at the same time, an investigative committee is conducting work in parliament that would have been inconceivable without Snowden. I am hopeful that there are people sitting on the parliamentary committee and also in the German government who will approach the problem in a more responsible way.
SPIEGEL: What exactly does Snowden stand accused of?
Kaleck: We attorneys only know what is in the few documents that have been published on the Internet. De Maizìere is presumeably of the opinion that there has been a violation of an espionage law that is 100 years old and rather vague.
SPIEGEL: Or perhaps your client is just being accused of theft.
Kaleck: That could well be. But in this situation it was justifiable to commit an act of data theft in order to protect the higher standing rights of the US Constitution and international law. Mr. Snowden is in no way seeking to enrich himself. This has to do with enlightening people and initiating a public discussion that concerns not only the people of the USA, but could also protect us, the global community, from major threats. The first small steps in scaling back the extensive surveillance techniques are already visible. Still, the recent hearing of experts in the investigative committee made clear that there is much more that must be done in Germany too.
SPIEGEL: Given de Mazìere's statements, has the possibility that your client could come to Germany been eliminated for good?
Kaleck: No, because the interior minister cannot decide on this issue alone. Fortunately, the principle of separation of powers applies in Germany. And the parliamentary investigative committee has made a unanimous decision to question Snowden as a witness. I have therefore requested that the committee clarify with the federal government whether Snowden would be allowed to enter Germany and be questioned here. For as long as the government has not rejected this possibility, the path to Germany remains open. read more

- The History Channel‘s
broadcast of “Weather Warfare” focused international interest in The
State of the Nation’s demand that the International Criminal Court begin
a criminal investigation into what I have dubbed “The ChemtrailGate
Conspiracy.”
The allegations are that
ChemtrailGate conspirators are spraying sulfuric acid and aluminum
compounds into the upper atmosphere in criminal violation of
international treaties prohibiting such acts. Chemtrails differ from
Contrails (Condensation Trails). Those involved in Chemtrail argue that
there is commercial value in weather modification and that they have a
right to pursue this as a business venture. Some Chemtrail partners are
joined with and sharing costs with the U.S. Department of Defense. The
government’s interest is exploring the use of weather modification in
war.
