North Korea grants asylum for Snowden

[bogeyman]

SEOUL, Republic of Korea – In response to a formal application for asylum on behalf of Edward Snowden, Kim Jong-un issued a statement offering the whistleblower not just asylum, but full North Korean citizenship. Snowden and his entourage, staffed mostly by WikiLeaks employees, were ecstatic at the news of a safe haven after 14 other countries had denied their applications.

“The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea promises to allow Edward Snowden to continue to leak anything he wants. We will provide him with many of the best top-secret hacking tools available in North Korea,” said a representative from the North Korean military.

“We are just so relieved that Snowden has finally found friendly shores,” said Glen Greenwild, the reporter who famously interviewed Edward Snowden in a Hong Kong hotel.

Snowden issued a statement written in Spanish, thanking North Korea for their commitment to freedom."

Out of the frying pan into the fire?

Hey mate,

Well, North Korea is not as bad as most people believe.

We must learn to see things beyond propaganda, in these cases.

I have a very good friend of mine, who happens to live in the US for almost a decade, and recently went on a trip to North Korea.

He´s a very intellectualized guy, and went there out of pure curiosity...Anyway, you should see his pictures.

He was there for about a month, and visited a lot of different cities and neighborhoods. I wont say that there are no problems there, but at least in this case, he came back with a very different perspective about the place, more positive than negative.

Again, I know there are a lot of problems there, but it´s not even close to be the terrible place that most people believe it is...It´s just different.

Raf.

A few things are a bit odd here. First, there does not appear to be any other news sites reporting this. Second, all the other sites that are listing the places he has applied to don't even list North Korea. Lastly, why would an American be issuing a statement to the Korean's written in Spanish? Something smells odd here but anything is possible.

This is not a serious news link, unless I missed that Paula Deen committed suicide by eating herself to death.



SAVANNAH, Ga. — Fans mourn the loss of Paula Deen, aged 66, who was found dead Tuesday morning after suffering a ruptured stomach. A suicide note was found by family members, which outlined her intention to eat herself to death and also contained many instances of the epithet “nigger-lovers.” This comes on the heels of a damning lawsuit which accused Deen of hiring an all-black staff
for a “Southern-Style Wedding” and repeatedly using racial epithets. As a result of her honest apology, Deen was fired from Food Network.

Police say Deen ate “hundreds” of her own pre-packaged desserts which are sold at Wal-Mart and feature her face on the labeling. Investigators said, “We aren’t sure whether or not Deen suffered from a fatal stroke related to her Diabetes before or after her stomach burst. Coroners have said it’s possible that she first died from eating too much sugar, and then suffered the stomach rupture post mortem.”

Or that Edward Snowden was killed by a drone strike at the Ecuadorian embassy in Moscow...On June 23rd.



MOSCOW — Edward Snowden’s body has been discovered, dead, after an explosion at the Ecuadorian embassy in Moscow on Sunday. Witnesses claim they saw a missile streak into the Ecuadorian embassy after sightings of a small, buzzing, airborne vehicle. Several of Snowden’s supporters outside the embassy were wounded by debris, and at least twelve ambassadors were also killed in the
attack. The numbers are expected to rise as more accurate reports come in.

Government officials around the world have begun the first stages of a military alliance against American imperialism, and several long-time American allies have condemned the U.S. for violating the sacred status of diplomacy. President Obama held a press conference, saying, “This was not an American drone. None of our drones have the capability to strike at the heart of Moscow, and besides, we have safeguards to prevent this kind of thing from happening.”

It pays to do a little bit of digging.

Its satire.

surely is - while we're 'sat-ire' on our backsides waiting and waiting for real news - who knows what's happened to that lad - he's probably in some weird gulag in the equivalent of an orange uniform....

I would love to see syria or Iran offer Mr. Snowden a warm little place to stay as long as he wants ...no one else wants him, we'll take him , see we aint so bad are we ??? those that need protection from the beast are safe with us ...wouldn't it be great, Iran protecting free speech ...
