Calls to pardon Snowden challenged by the House Intel Panel…. Cyberculture agenda…
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence urged President Barack Obama on Thursday not to pardon Edward Snowden, concluding in anunclassified summary of a two-year investigation that the former NSA contractor was “not a whistleblower” — echoing what White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said during a press briefing earlier in the week.
House intelligence committee claims NSA leaker was a ‘disgruntled employee’ who inflicted harm to national security.
Oliver Stone’s Snowden is a bad movie, stuffed with myth, short on drama. Stone has always been a tendentious writer but he was once a terrific director. JFKranks among the most exasperating movies of all time for portraying Jim Garrison, one of the battier Kennedy-assassination conspiracy-mongers, as a truth-telling hero. But it was still rollicking, spooky fun—so crazy entertaining, I could almost excuse its crazy script. In Snowden, Stone has another self-styled hero on his hands, but this time he dispenses with the high-flying style and instead spends two hours shrouding his protagonist with the aura of a holy martyr.
The ACLU, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch are calling for the pardon of Edward Snowden. The ACLU:
The government has charged Snowden under the Espionage Act, a World War One-era law that doesn’t distinguish between selling secrets to foreign governments and giving them to journalists working in the public interest. If Snowden were to be tried under the charges he faces, any argument that his actions benefited the public would be inadmissible in court.
The Pardon Snowden campaign will work through the end of Obama’s administration to make the case that Snowden’s act of whistleblowing benefited the United States and enriched democratic debate worldwide, and we’re asking citizens to write to the president via our website.
The day after the New York premiere of Oliver Stone’s new movie, “Snowden,” the three largest human rights organizations in the U.S. teamed up to launch a campaign calling on President Obama to pardon the NSA whistleblower.
Snowden himself spoke via video from Moscow at a press conference Wednesday morning alongside representatives from the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International.
Human and civil rights groups are asking President Barack Obama to pardon Edward Snowden.

Eurosphere agenda: “Bratislava EU meeting”
The EU is in a “critical situation”, the German chancellor says, as leaders meet to discuss ways to regain trust after the UK’s vote to leave the bloc.
The leaders of the EU member states meet today in Bratislava to discuss how the Union should deal with the Brexit vote and the huge differences of opinion on what to do with refugees. European Council President Donald Tusk called in the run-up to the event for a “sober and brutally honest assessment of the situation”. Journalists observe the meeting with a mixture of hope and scepticism.
Ministers from 12 EU countries have written to the bloc’s trade chief to back a planned trade accord with the United States, declaring clear support for negotiations that have divided opinion on both sides of the Atlantic.
Riot police clash with protesters in France marching against labour reforms in what unions say will be the last of such demonstrations.

Spain’s conservative and Socialist parties have been rocked by a series of corruption scandals. The former conservative mayor of the city of Valencia is on trial for money laundering while the Socialist ex-president of Andalusia is facing charges of embezzling public funds destined for schemes for the unemployed. The parties are immersed in a swamp of corruption, commentators are certain.

Refugees Pour Out of Turkey Once More as Deal With Europe Falters
The number of refugees arriving in Greece nearly doubled last week, to more than 1,000. Many are realizing that an agreement to stanch the flow is not being enforced.

We’re living at the crux of two moments of political uncertainty. One is Brexit, and the other is the introduction of unprecendented surveillance powers. How might these uncertainties effect one another?
Not long ago we reported that the Dutch national police was training birds in its efforts to take down drones that are being operated illegally. After a seven-month-long trial, the force is now certain that well-trained birds will be able to help them with its tasks involving tackling rogue drones. In the video above the takedown team is seen in a demonstration of how an eagle might be used in a real-life situation. It’s in Dutch, but easy enough to follow: A VIP gets escorted to a meeting, where an enemy drone is lurking in the distance. The VIP is then led safely back to…

Some unions will rally against ‘terror’, probably a futile attempt for peace but helping for more nationalist incitements…
A group of business associations, unions and professional chambers have decided to hold a mass rally in Ankara on Sept. 17 in a show of condemnation of “terror.”

A Press Release from Turkey on “Calling Media to the Peace Discourse”
Press Release on calling media to the peace discourse
|
Both in History and in recent situation in the Middle East and in the Balkans we have seen that the chosen language of war and conflict has left only tragedy and suffering for society to endure. All kinds of media discourse supports the spread of social decomposition, and this dangerous lack of social consciousness makes it much more difficult to achieve social and political peace.
The violent language wounds our chances of peaceful cohabitation, and it opens the door to more negativity within society, as people engage in their social contracts.
The socio-political backdrop that keeps us together seems to be lost when we explore beyond the limits of freedom of expression and in turn this creates hate speech, and leads to racism in media production.
Therefore, all media members have a responsibility to count every word they write to measure the provocative or soothing effective it may have.
On the other hand, political-economic pressure blocking free communication in the media world is also a major obstacle. Media outlets and journalists are being attacked, with decisions made to block access to the media and journalists being made unemployed. These are signs of a dark period in terms of freedom of expression.
Hate speech can be spread easily, and extremists who want to destroy social peace can take advantage of this fluid media environment, which in turn allows people to take to the streets in order to further their attacks in the real world.
Groups of people can use both verbal and physical violence without legitimate reason.
We invite Turkey’s public to take a common stand against discriminatory language in social media, to counteract media induced confrontation, and to help relieve the threat to our freedom of expression.
We urge you, the public, to ethically find a meeting of minds between language and social peace.
