*In honor of the Venezuelan presidents wise decision to give asylum to Edward Snowden tonight, heres a little tribute to him (and his late friend and Comandante, Chavecito), from Russia, with love:* *Video:* *http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lVYn9WByrek * * * * * * Ska-Ps El Libertador, sung (in Spanish!) by a group of young Russians at the New Opera Theatre in Moscow. This concert took place on July 2.* * And yes, Im happy about this. Even before the asylum request was received, Nicolás Maduro was showing himself a real Mensch, and disposed to grant asylum to the NSA leaker/whistleblower because, in his words, Snowden had contributed to humanity<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/06/the-snowden-affair-as-seen-from-venezuela-and-ecuador.html> by blowing the lid off his governments insanely excessive wiretapping habits.* *Now, to get Snowden on the next plane to Caracas, probably with some kind of official Russian documents, since the US government has withdrawn his passport. I dont know how it will be done, but heres a chance for Pooty-Poot to make himself useful to humanity, too.* [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
