OpEds: America does not deserve men like Snowden
By Stanislav Mishin, pravda.ru
Nor does it deserve Manning or any of the dozens of others who are now imprisoned or dead for trying to expose the hypocrisy of the police state that is now their jailer or murderer and is your owner.
For you, Americans are an owned slave race, as few have ever been. As I closed in my well published, oft repeated article on American Capitalism, Gone With a Whimper
“The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.”You truly are deeply sunk into your own illusions of freedom and self-righteousness to preach to the world how they should live. ? Off of your examples? I hardly think so. It’s a pathetic example.
What Snowden, Manning and others have been foolish about is actually believing those myths that you teach your children and in believing that if only they exposed the lies and hypocrisy of your rulers and owners,ou would in shook rise up and retake your mythical freedoms.
How absolutely wrong they were and are. We went into the slavery of Marxism, that your elites, coincidently funded and shilled for, with a brutal 4 year civil war that left five million dead. You go happily and quite willingly, as long as the state gives you goodies and missile footage to watch, your bread and circuses.
Pathetic.
One has only to scroll through the hundreds and thousands of postings on the various “conservative” forums to see what is meant by American conservatism: blind statist and obedience in the name of security from “them” and them is about any boogeyman the state media organs can create. The American “con”servative cares only really about 1- his paycheck, 2- being on the winning team of the One Party Two Branch System and 3- his self opinion as an AMERICAN…the kings of the world, which their media is more than happy to fill their heads with, so they don’t notice that they have no jobs, everything is rotting and their kids can’t read but are experienced at poking each other in the privy or bumm.
Men like Snowden should be given Russian citizenship, they are much more valuable than aging bloated French movie stars and deserve a better people to call their own.

Mishkin seems to be a Russian libertarian, but little is known about the man and his work context.
