Edward Snowden Can Go To Venezuela! Pres. Maduro Goes to Russia to Help!

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who renewed offering asylum to “humanitarian” and “brave youth” American whistleblower Edward Snowden, is to land in Russia today where he could help get the persecuted human rights defender out and into safer haven. 

Pres. Moduro says he wants humanity to learn truth

Maduro described Snowden’s actions as “the rebellion of truth,” according to Press TV. 

“If that young man needs humanitarian protection and believes that he can come to Venezuela,” then Venezuela “is prepared to protect this brave youth in a humanitarian way and so that humanity can learn the truth,” Maduro said Thursday.

Maduro backed Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa for withdrawing from a trade pact with the United States when the Obama adminstration blackmailed him with the trade agreement worth $23 million. 

On Thursday, the Correa government offered to Obama administration the $23 million back to the U.S. every year for human rights training.

Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino reported that Snowden’s request for asylum there could take months to process before his government could decide. 

Snowden leaked two top secret US government spying programs used by the government and private corporations to spy on millions of Americans and Europeans through telephones, social networks such as Facebook and Internet companies such as Yahoo, Google, Apple, and Microsoft. 

Some US government officials, including President Barack Obama and FBI director Robert Mueller, have defended the secret spying programs claiming that they are essential to the fight against “terrorism”.

Spy experts and researchers have said the spy program is not to fight terrorism, but instead, is in the hands of terrorists specifically to target innocent people who oppose corproate government and its agenda.

American rulers are guarding their criminal behavior (illegal spying, targeted killings, kidnapping, torture, etc.)  by hunting down human rights defending reporters exposing high-level corporate-government crimes, such as the late Michael Hastings, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange.

Unlike the United States, Ecuador  will “avoid violations of privacy, torture and other actions that are denigrating to humanity,” government spokesman Fernando Alvarado said last week.

Pres. Maduro is to land in Russia today where he could help get Snowden, who has no valid travel document, out of Russia, according to the Daily Mail.
