I remember when i was just a little shaver back in the 60's<br>
seeing people burrowing and tunneling under the Berlin Wall<br>
to escape the totalitarian life and scramble to safety on <br>
the "good side" of the Wall.<br>
<br>
What a kick in the cods it is to see that now the US<br>
has become the land of the fees and home of the slaves,<br>
a disgusting Shelob serving "none but herself, <br>
drinking the blood of [elvish impersonators] <br>
and men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding <br>
on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow; <br>
for all living things were her food, <br>
and her vomit darkness."<br>
<br>
"We are so sorry that our Homeland is so corrupt<br>
and dissipated and we are ourselves so hopeless and <br>
helplessly enthralled by Big Sibling that we can't<br>
do anything substantial other than sign letters. <br>
So please, Mr. Correa, help Mr. Snowden<br>
so we can get some relief from the guilt we feel.<br>
We know that we helped create the federal monster.<br>
We can't live with out it now, ya know. So please<br>
give Mr. Snowden a home. We seemed to have<br>
fucked ours up."<br>

<p>Director Oliver Stone is joining with such notables as Noam
Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, former Ambassador Joe Wilson and Tom Hayden
to encourage Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa to grant Edward
Snowden’s asylum request.</p>
<p>In a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/node/1421" target="_blank">letter</a>
posted on the Just Foreign Policy website, the signatories pen a letter
to Correa and write, “Snowden’s disclosures have already done much to
unveil the alarming scale of U.S. government spying on its own citizens
and on people around the world.”</p>
<p>“They have revealed severe overreach by the U.S.’ National
Security Agency (NSA), which seeks to gather an overwhelming and
invasive amount of information on people within the United States.
Snowden has also revealed that the constant NSA surveillance also
applies to millions of people outside the U.S., whose phone calls,
emails and other communications are also indiscriminately targeted.”</p>
<p>The letter is also signed by some actors, including Danny
Glover, Amber Heard, Shia LaBeouf, John Cusack and Roseanne Barr.</p>
<p>The letter concludes by saying that “rather than pursue
reforms that would protect the rights of people in the U.S. and around
the world, the Obama administration again seeks to silence those who
have brought these abuses to light. These are actions of political
repression, and you would be right to grant Snowden political asylum.”</p>
<p>Just Foreign Policy describes itself as “an independent and
nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to reforming U.S. foreign
policy by mobilizing and organizing the broad majority of Americans who
want a foreign policy based on diplomacy, law and cooperation.”</p>
