Tech firms fight hiring rules in
immigration bill
Story Highlights
WASHINGTON – Technology firms, exercising new political clout on Capitol Hill, are lobbying against a measure in the leading Senate immigration bill that would make it harder for them to recruit workers from abroad without first taking steps to hire Americans for highly skilled jobs in programming, engineering and other fields.
The measure, part of a sweeping compromise bill drafted by a bipartisan group of eight senators, would require job openings to be posted on a new government website for 30 days and order companies to first extend job offers to "equally or better qualified" U.S. workers. It would give the U.S. Labor Department the power to review and challenge those hiring decisions.
Proponents say the measures are needed to curb abuses by companies who they say use the visa program to hire cheaper labor. Technology companies say the proposed rules would cripple their ability to hire the best employees from a global workforce and represent inappropriate government intrusion in internal hiring decisions.
The fight over hiring practices is part of the massive lobbying campaign underway on the immigration measure and will offer a fresh test of the technology industry's growing influence in Washington. The companies involved in the computer and Internet sectors spent nearly $140 million in lobbying last year -- more than twice the $69 million the industry poured into influencing Washington a decade earlier, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to begin work on the bill Thursday.
The hiring battle centers on the program that grants H-1B visas, which go mostly to college-educated foreigners in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Technology companies say they face a chronic shortage of qualified workers in these fields. The United States sets an annual limit of 85,000 visas for these companies, and the competition for them is intense: This year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services opened up the application process April 1, and the cap was reached within a week.
Industry groups have made big gains in the Senate's immigration proposal. The bill, for instance, Would increase the H-1B cap to 205,000 annually. However, tech officials warn the new recruiting requirements could drive companies to move their skilled jobs overseas, rather than comply. A commonly cited example: Microsoft's decision to open a software center in Vancouver, British Columbia, after Congress failed to pass immigration legislation in 2007 that would have significantly increased the number of H-1B visas.
Under the bill, "employers are going to have an arbitrary government standard imposed on every hiring decision," said Robert Hoffman, the top lobbyist for the Information Technology Industry Council, a trade group. The proposed rule, he said, ignores subjective factors that influence hiring. "A perfect example: How does one define whether or not someone has the personality to fit into a corporate culture?" he said.
"We are not trying to change any of the fundamental policy goals that they are trying to achieve" in the Senate, Hoffman said. "We are just trying to tweak it, so that these goals and other goals, like retaining the best and brightest and growing in the United States, so that those types of goals are advanced as well."
Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, has criticized the visa program, saying it allows firms to hire "cheap indentured labor."
"The technology industry is asking the government to come in and intervene in the normal functioning of the U.S. labor market, specifically on their behalf," Hira said.
Bruce Morrison, a former Connecticut congressman who lobbies on behalf of a group that represents American engineers, said the organization will object to any effort to "dilute worker protections" as the measure moves through the Senate. "The arguments from the companies is that there aren't any Americans to take these jobs," he said, "so there shouldn't be any problem."
The biggest users of H-1B visas are not brand-name companies, but little-known staffing companies that provide foreign workers on a temporary basis to U.S. companies — including banks, health insurance companies and big retailers. Cognizant, a New Jersey-based company that employs 27,000 people in the USA, is the top user of the temporary visas, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records show. Most of its workers come from India.
In addition, three India-based outsourcing companies rank among the top five recipients of H-1Bs, according to the federal data.
Americans would "be shocked to know that most of the H-1B visas … are going to outsourcing companies," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., one of eight senators who drafted the immigration bill, said during a recent hearing. "They're going to these firms, largely in India, who are finding workers, engineers, who will work at low wages in the U.S."
Durbin is a driving force behind the hiring requirements in the Senate proposal.
The measure would make business harder for staffing companies dependent on foreign workers. It would impose higher fees on firms that rely on overseas employees for more than 30% of their workforce. Starting in 2016, the bill would bar granting any new temporary visas for foreign workers at companies with more than half their workers on the visas. Both measures apply to companies that employ more than 50 people.
Cognizant spokesman John Procter said he did not have a breakdown on the percentage of the company's workers in the USA on H-1B visas. He said the bill imposes an "arbitrary, detrimental restriction on the number of skilled immigrants."
"It would really change the way America does business," he said. "The company is very focused on educating legislators and making sure this language doesn't make its way into any final outcome."
Cognizant hired its first federal lobbyist in 2010 andby last year, it had spent nearly $1 million on federal lobbying, congressional records show. Its team includes Democratic power broker Heather Podesta, who did not return a telephone call. Other companies also have stepped up their political activity.
Last month, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Netflix's Reed Hastings, Google's Eric Schmidt and other technology executives teamed up to underwrite an advocacy group to promote their views on immigration. Two of its subsidiaries began a seven-figure advertising campaign to shore up voter support for key senators in the immigration debate.
The tech industry "has clearly come of age," said Ellen Miller, executive director of the Sunlight Foundation. "In the last decade, we've seen this tremendous recognition from Silicon Valley of the need to play in the power circles — to both protect their bottom line and to alter the political scene to their advantage."

OBAMA AND HIS BANKSTERS.... STILL LOOTING! Exposing the Bankers’ Conspiracy: A Report on the Workers Inquiry into the Bankruptcy of Detroit
Exposing the Bankers’ Conspiracy: A Report on the Workers Inquiry into the Bankruptcy of Detroit
By Thomas Gaist
Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr met with officials from the Detroit Institute of Arts Thursday to demand that the museum contribute $100 million to the “rescue” package being assembled by Governor Rick Snyder and a group of wealthy foundations, including the Ford Foundation, the Kresge Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The proposed deal would raise $330 million from the nine foundations and another $350 million from the state, with the money supposedly going to “protect” the DIA and city workers’ pensions from the impact of the bankruptcy.
Orr’s demand that the DIA contribute $100 million exposes the so-called “rescue” plan as a fraud. It is a means of removing the DIA from public ownership, placing it under the control of powerful private interests, and crippling its finances and operations in order to funnel its funds to the city’s bondholders and bank creditors.
The so-called “protection” of city workers’ pension benefits is no different. They will be drastically slashed with or without the “rescue” package.
The $100 million demand amounts to an act of extortion and would have a ruinous impact on the museum’s balance sheet. While an unnamed source cited by the Detroit Free Press said the city considers $100 million over 20 years “a number the DIA can get to,” museum representatives said paying such an amount was “completely unfeasible.”
Orr issued his demand for $100 million from the DIA the same day that Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes rejected the plan submitted by Orr and his former law firm, Jones Day, to pay the Swiss bank UBS and Bank of America $169.2 million to terminate their interest rate swap deal with the city. The predatory and very likely illegal deal foisted on the city by the banks was a huge factor in Detroit’s cash flow troubles, which were then used as the pretext for the bankruptcy filing. Under the deal, Detroit has been forced to pay some $50 million to the banks annually since the Wall Street crash of 2008.
While Rhodes rejected the bank payoff as too large, and admitted that the original deal was probably illegal, he urged that the parties continue to negotiate and agree to a somewhat smaller sum.
Thus the city will pay the banks that swindled it in excess of $100 million, while the DIA, which has already been stripped of all state and local funding and played no role in the city’s financial crisis, is to put $100 million of its depleted resources into the pot to be divided up between the city’s financial creditors and various speculators.
In an article published Tuesday, “Foundations Aim to Save Pensions in Detroit Crisis,” the New York Times noted: “As part of the plan, which negotiators have been working on quietly for more than two months, the museum would be transferred from city ownership to the control of a nonprofit, which would protect it from future municipal financial threats.”
The effort to privatize the DIA is part of a broader political agenda driving the bankruptcy process, centered on the theft of public assets on a grand scale. The Obama administration has repeatedly signaled its approval of this agenda. Just days before Orr’s ultimatum to the DIA, Vice President Joseph Biden visited Detroit to meet with the new mayor, Mike Duggan, and attend the Detroit auto show.
Biden reiterated the Obama administration’s position that there will be “no bailout” of Detroit by the federal government.
“Just like the automobile industry came back, Detroit’s going to come back,” he said during his visit. In fact, the auto industry “came back” on the basis of a federal bailout for General Motors and Chrysler tied to an across-the-board 50 percent reduction in the pay of newly-hired auto workers, bringing their starting pay to the near-poverty level of $14 per hour.
This attack was carried out with the full support of the United Auto Workers union.
The unions are now giving de facto support to the bankruptcy while they negotiate for a cut of the spoils. The main city workers’ union, the American Federal of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), has been in the forefront of demands that the DIA be forced to sell off its art collection to ease the city’s financial crisis.
The Socialist Equality Party is fighting to mobilize the working class in opposition to the barbaric assault being carried out against the cultural and social rights of the population. To mount such a struggle, working people must have access to the truth about the criminal conspiracy against its interests that is being concealed behind a wall of official lies.
This is the purpose of the Detroit Workers Inquiry into the Attack on the DIA and Pensions being held February 15th at Wayne State University by the Socialist Equality Party and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality. We urge workers, youth, students and all those who oppose the attack on workers’ rights and the DIA to register today and bring delegations of co-workers and associates to the Inquiry.

ASSAULT ON AMERICA: Democrats, Republicans back Obama’s police state spying
Democrats, Republicans back Obama’s police state spying
Apologists for NSA redouble witch-hunt of Edward Snowden
MORE HERE FROM COMMENTATOR TAVIS SMILEY
Tavis Smiley: Snowden 'Might Be on a Postage Stamp' One Day | CNS News
Three leading members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, appeared on television talk shows to brand Snowden a traitor and Russian spy, providing a justification for his being tried and executed. The former NSA contractor has been charged by federal prosecutors—though not yet indicted—with felony counts under the 1917 Espionage Act.
Without Snowden’s revelations of spying on the telephone calls, emails, text message and Internet activity of hundreds of millions of Americans and countless millions more around the world, there would have been no need for Obama to deliver his remarks at the Justice Department on Friday.
The US president’s response consisted of meaningless rhetoric about “privacy” and vague proposals for “oversight,” accompanied by a full-throated defense of the police state operations carried out by the NSA and other US intelligence agencies within the United States and around the world.
Obama’s lying remarks, which included an attack on Snowden, were a green light for the most right-wing sections of the ruling establishment to go on the offensive, braying for the whistle-blower’s blood.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press”—appropriately sponsored by the Boeing Corporation—Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, described Snowden as “a thief, who, we believe, had some help; who stole information, the vast majority [having] nothing to do with privacy,” but rather “had to do with how we operate overseas to collect information to keep Americans safe.”
This is utter nonsense, given the multiple programs exposed by Snowden in which literally trillions of telephone and Internet records have been intercepted by the NSA. As for “how we operate overseas,” this, as Snowden’s revelations have made clear, includes bugging the phones and computers of government leaders such as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, snooping on international meetings of the European Union and other bodies, and conducting industrial espionage on Brazil’s state-owned oil corporation Petrobras as well as European companies and economic officials. These are all activities that have nothing to do with “keeping Americans safe” and everything to do with furthering the profit interests of US financial and corporate giants.
Rogers attempted to bolster his totally unsubstantiated allegations that Snowden is a spy by noting that “he arranged travel before he left,” and that “he had a go bag, if you will.” Arranging travel before you leave is a practice common to most rational people, not to mention someone who knew he would become the object of a worldwide manhunt once he revealed the NSA’s illegal spying.
The congressman went on to state: “I believe there’s a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB [Federal Security Service] agent in Moscow… I don’t think it was a gee-whiz luck event that he ended up in Moscow under the handling of the FSB.”
Asked whether she agreed that Snowden had been working with the Russians, Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, replied: “He may well have. We don’t know at this stage. But I think to glorify this act is really to set sort of a new level of dishonor.”
Echoing these slanders, Mike McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told ABC News: “I personally believe that he was cultivated by a foreign power to do what he did. And he—I would submit, again, that he’s not a hero by any stretch. He’s a traitor.”
None of these officials, who have all served as rubber stamps and cheerleaders for the US military and intelligence apparatus, can offer a shred of evidence to back up charges that would condemn Snowden to death.
Some of what they say is simply absurd. The claim that Snowden flew into “the loving arms of an FSB agent in Moscow” is a flat out lie. After revealing multiple NSA crimes, Snowden was attempting to reach safe haven in Ecuador when the US government revoked his passport, leaving him stranded for 39 days in the transit lounge of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport, where he had sought to change planes. This hardly suggests FSB handlers waiting to receive him.
Clearly, Washington did not expect Snowden to stay in Russia, given the US government’s thuggish operation to force down the airplane of President Evo Morales on suspicion that it was flying the ex-NSA contractor to asylum in Bolivia.
This campaign of lies and slanders, like Obama’s speech, is aimed at intimidating the public and suppressing opposition to the NSA’s police state operations both in the US and around the world. The intention—as with the witch-hunt and persecution of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning—is to cast Snowden as the criminal for exposing the real criminals, including Obama and the intelligence chiefs, who are responsible for shredding the US Constitution and conspiring to destroy the democratic rights of the American people.
The latest Quinnipiac poll, conducted earlier this month, showed support for Snowden has only grown in recent months, with 57 percent calling him a whistle-blower, as opposed to 34 percent—barely one third—agreeing with Obama and the leadership of both major parties, who portray him as a traitor. Among younger people—18 to 29 years old—this sentiment has been even more overwhelming, with 77 percent indicating support for Snowden’s actions. Support is also substantially higher among Americans with incomes of $50,000 or less than among those taking in $100,000 or more.
That this popular support for Snowden finds no expression within the political establishment or mass media only underscores the vast gulf separating working people, the vast majority of the population of the United States and the entire planet, from the moneyed oligarchy that controls both political parties, as well as the major newspapers and television networks.
The support for Snowden goes hand-in-hand with growing popular anger over record levels of social inequality and the US government’s policy of transferring social wealth to the rich while attacking the social and democratic rights of the working class and preparing new wars.
This support and this anger must be channeled into the development of a politically independent movement of the working class to defend Edward Snowden and defeat the drive by the ruling class toward a police state. This requires a struggle against the Obama administration, both major parties and the capitalist system they defend.

Apologists for NSA redouble witch-hunt of Edward Snowden
20 January 2014
If anyone had any doubts about the real content of President Barack Obama’s “reform” of the National Security Agency’s massive spying programs, they should have been cleared up Sunday by the vicious bipartisan witch-hunt of the individual who made the NSA’s illegal activities known to the public, Edward Snowden.Three leading members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, appeared on television talk shows to brand Snowden a traitor and Russian spy, providing a justification for his being tried and executed. The former NSA contractor has been charged by federal prosecutors—though not yet indicted—with felony counts under the 1917 Espionage Act.
Without Snowden’s revelations of spying on the telephone calls, emails, text message and Internet activity of hundreds of millions of Americans and countless millions more around the world, there would have been no need for Obama to deliver his remarks at the Justice Department on Friday.
The US president’s response consisted of meaningless rhetoric about “privacy” and vague proposals for “oversight,” accompanied by a full-throated defense of the police state operations carried out by the NSA and other US intelligence agencies within the United States and around the world.
Obama’s lying remarks, which included an attack on Snowden, were a green light for the most right-wing sections of the ruling establishment to go on the offensive, braying for the whistle-blower’s blood.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press”—appropriately sponsored by the Boeing Corporation—Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, described Snowden as “a thief, who, we believe, had some help; who stole information, the vast majority [having] nothing to do with privacy,” but rather “had to do with how we operate overseas to collect information to keep Americans safe.”
This is utter nonsense, given the multiple programs exposed by Snowden in which literally trillions of telephone and Internet records have been intercepted by the NSA. As for “how we operate overseas,” this, as Snowden’s revelations have made clear, includes bugging the phones and computers of government leaders such as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, snooping on international meetings of the European Union and other bodies, and conducting industrial espionage on Brazil’s state-owned oil corporation Petrobras as well as European companies and economic officials.

According to a new report by University of California Berkeley Professor Emmanuel Saez, the gulf between the wealthy and the rest of society has sharply expanded under Obama. The richest one percent now monopolize more than 22 percent of all household income in America. The richest ten percent of the population now control more than half of the nation’s income, 50.4 percent—the highest proportion since the government began collecting income statistics in 1917.

The richest ten percent of the population now control more than half of the nation’s income, 50.4 percent—the highest proportion since the government began collecting income statistics in 1917.
Since 2009, the richest one percent has captured a staggering 95
percent of all income gains. The class war policies of the government—including
bank bailouts, “quantitative easing” and an attack on wage and benefits for the
working class—have led to a 31.4 percent rise in income for the top one
percent. The wealthy have more than recovered the losses that came from the
Wall Street collapse of 2008.
Meanwhile, the bottom 99 percent has seen a negligible 0.4 percent
rise in income. Tens of millions of workers—who never recovered from the record
household income drop of 2007 to 2009—continue to reel from the effects of mass
job losses, falling wages, home foreclosures, indebtedness and social service
cuts.

In fact, real median household income dropped in
every year of Obama's first term. In 2008, when he was elected, it was $53,644.
In 2009, the year he was inaugurated, it dropped to 53,285. In 2010, his second
year in office, it dropped to $51,892. In 2011, his third year in office, it
dropped to $51,100. And, in 2012, his fourth year in office, it dropped to
$51,017. At the same time the number of people living in poverty in the United
States increased. In 2008, according to the Census Bureau, there were
approximately 39,829,000 people living in poverty in this country. In 2012,
there were 46,496,000. That is an increase of approximately 6,667,000—of 16.73
percent—from 2008 to 2012.

The danger, as Washington Post economics columnist Robert Samuelson argues, is that of “importing poverty” in the form of a new underclass—a permanent group of working poor.
Three leading members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, appeared on television talk shows to brand Snowden a traitor and Russian spy, providing a justification for his being tried and executed. The former NSA contractor has been charged by federal prosecutors—though not yet indicted—with felony counts under the 1917 Espionage Act.
Without Snowden’s revelations of spying on the telephone calls, emails, text message and Internet activity of hundreds of millions of Americans and countless millions more around the world, there would have been no need for Obama to deliver his remarks at the Justice Department on Friday.
The US president’s response consisted of meaningless rhetoric about “privacy” and vague proposals for “oversight,” accompanied by a full-throated defense of the police state operations carried out by the NSA and other US intelligence agencies within the United States and around the world.
Obama’s lying remarks, which included an attack on Snowden, were a green light for the most right-wing sections of the ruling establishment to go on the offensive, braying for the whistle-blower’s blood.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press”—appropriately sponsored by the Boeing Corporation—Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, described Snowden as “a thief, who, we believe, had some help; who stole information, the vast majority [having] nothing to do with privacy,” but rather “had to do with how we operate overseas to collect information to keep Americans safe.”
This is utter nonsense, given the multiple programs exposed by Snowden in which literally trillions of telephone and Internet records have been intercepted by the NSA. As for “how we operate overseas,” this, as Snowden’s revelations have made clear, includes bugging the phones and computers of government leaders such as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, snooping on international meetings of the European Union and other bodies, and conducting industrial espionage on Brazil’s state-owned oil corporation Petrobras as well as European companies and economic officials. These are all activities that have nothing to do with “keeping Americans safe” and everything to do with furthering the profit interests of US financial and corporate giants.
Rogers attempted to bolster his totally unsubstantiated allegations that Snowden is a spy by noting that “he arranged travel before he left,” and that “he had a go bag, if you will.” Arranging travel before you leave is a practice common to most rational people, not to mention someone who knew he would become the object of a worldwide manhunt once he revealed the NSA’s illegal spying.
The congressman went on to state: “I believe there’s a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB [Federal Security Service] agent in Moscow… I don’t think it was a gee-whiz luck event that he ended up in Moscow under the handling of the FSB.”
Asked whether she agreed that Snowden had been working with the Russians, Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, replied: “He may well have. We don’t know at this stage. But I think to glorify this act is really to set sort of a new level of dishonor.”
Echoing these slanders, Mike McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told ABC News: “I personally believe that he was cultivated by a foreign power to do what he did. And he—I would submit, again, that he’s not a hero by any stretch. He’s a traitor.”
None of these officials, who have all served as rubber stamps and cheerleaders for the US military and intelligence apparatus, can offer a shred of evidence to back up charges that would condemn Snowden to death.
Some of what they say is simply absurd. The claim that Snowden flew into “the loving arms of an FSB agent in Moscow” is a flat out lie. After revealing multiple NSA crimes, Snowden was attempting to reach safe haven in Ecuador when the US government revoked his passport, leaving him stranded for 39 days in the transit lounge of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport, where he had sought to change planes. This hardly suggests FSB handlers waiting to receive him.
Clearly, Washington did not expect Snowden to stay in Russia, given the US government’s thuggish operation to force down the airplane of President Evo Morales on suspicion that it was flying the ex-NSA contractor to asylum in Bolivia.
This campaign of lies and slanders, like Obama’s speech, is aimed at intimidating the public and suppressing opposition to the NSA’s police state operations both in the US and around the world. The intention—as with the witch-hunt and persecution of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning—is to cast Snowden as the criminal for exposing the real criminals, including Obama and the intelligence chiefs, who are responsible for shredding the US Constitution and conspiring to destroy the democratic rights of the American people.
The latest Quinnipiac poll, conducted earlier this month, showed support for Snowden has only grown in recent months, with 57 percent calling him a whistle-blower, as opposed to 34 percent—barely one third—agreeing with Obama and the leadership of both major parties, who portray him as a traitor. Among younger people—18 to 29 years old—this sentiment has been even more overwhelming, with 77 percent indicating support for Snowden’s actions. Support is also substantially higher among Americans with incomes of $50,000 or less than among those taking in $100,000 or more.
That this popular support for Snowden finds no expression within the political establishment or mass media only underscores the vast gulf separating working people, the vast majority of the population of the United States and the entire planet, from the moneyed oligarchy that controls both political parties, as well as the major newspapers and television networks.
The support for Snowden goes hand-in-hand with growing popular anger over record levels of social inequality and the US government’s policy of transferring social wealth to the rich while attacking the social and democratic rights of the working class and preparing new wars.
This support and this anger must be channeled into the development of a politically independent movement of the working class to defend Edward Snowden and defeat the drive by the ruling class toward a police state. This requires a struggle against the Obama administration, both major parties and the capitalist system they defend.

Apologists for NSA redouble witch-hunt of Edward Snowden
20 January 2014
If anyone had any doubts about the real content of President Barack Obama’s “reform” of the National Security Agency’s massive spying programs, they should have been cleared up Sunday by the vicious bipartisan witch-hunt of the individual who made the NSA’s illegal activities known to the public, Edward Snowden.Three leading members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, appeared on television talk shows to brand Snowden a traitor and Russian spy, providing a justification for his being tried and executed. The former NSA contractor has been charged by federal prosecutors—though not yet indicted—with felony counts under the 1917 Espionage Act.
Without Snowden’s revelations of spying on the telephone calls, emails, text message and Internet activity of hundreds of millions of Americans and countless millions more around the world, there would have been no need for Obama to deliver his remarks at the Justice Department on Friday.
The US president’s response consisted of meaningless rhetoric about “privacy” and vague proposals for “oversight,” accompanied by a full-throated defense of the police state operations carried out by the NSA and other US intelligence agencies within the United States and around the world.
Obama’s lying remarks, which included an attack on Snowden, were a green light for the most right-wing sections of the ruling establishment to go on the offensive, braying for the whistle-blower’s blood.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press”—appropriately sponsored by the Boeing Corporation—Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, described Snowden as “a thief, who, we believe, had some help; who stole information, the vast majority [having] nothing to do with privacy,” but rather “had to do with how we operate overseas to collect information to keep Americans safe.”
This is utter nonsense, given the multiple programs exposed by Snowden in which literally trillions of telephone and Internet records have been intercepted by the NSA. As for “how we operate overseas,” this, as Snowden’s revelations have made clear, includes bugging the phones and computers of government leaders such as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, snooping on international meetings of the European Union and other bodies, and conducting industrial espionage on Brazil’s state-owned oil corporation Petrobras as well as European companies and economic officials. These are all activities that have nothing to do with “keeping Americans safe” and everything to do with furthering the profit interests of US financial and corporate giants.
Rogers attempted to bolster his totally unsubstantiated allegations that Snowden is a spy by noting that “he arranged travel before he left,” and that “he had a go bag, if you will.” Arranging travel before you leave is a practice common to most rational people, not to mention someone who knew he would become the object of a worldwide manhunt once he revealed the NSA’s illegal spying.
The congressman went on to state: “I believe there’s a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB [Federal Security Service] agent in Moscow… I don’t think it was a gee-whiz luck event that he ended up in Moscow under the handling of the FSB.”
Asked whether she agreed that Snowden had been working with the Russians, Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, replied: “He may well have. We don’t know at this stage. But I think to glorify this act is really to set sort of a new level of dishonor.”
Echoing these slanders, Mike McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told ABC News: “I personally believe that he was cultivated by a foreign power to do what he did. And he—I would submit, again, that he’s not a hero by any stretch. He’s a traitor.”
None of these officials, who have all served as rubber stamps and cheerleaders for the US military and intelligence apparatus, can offer a shred of evidence to back up charges that would condemn Snowden to death.
Some of what they say is simply absurd. The claim that Snowden flew into “the loving arms of an FSB agent in Moscow” is a flat out lie. After revealing multiple NSA crimes, Snowden was attempting to reach safe haven in Ecuador when the US government revoked his passport, leaving him stranded for 39 days in the transit lounge of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport, where he had sought to change planes. This hardly suggests FSB handlers waiting to receive him.
Clearly, Washington did not expect Snowden to stay in Russia, given the US government’s thuggish operation to force down the airplane of President Evo Morales on suspicion that it was flying the ex-NSA contractor to asylum in Bolivia.
This campaign of lies and slanders, like Obama’s speech, is aimed at intimidating the public and suppressing opposition to the NSA’s police state operations both in the US and around the world. The intention—as with the witch-hunt and persecution of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning—is to cast Snowden as the criminal for exposing the real criminals, including Obama and the intelligence chiefs, who are responsible for shredding the US Constitution and conspiring to destroy the democratic rights of the American people.
The latest Quinnipiac poll, conducted earlier this month, showed support for Snowden has only grown in recent months, with 57 percent calling him a whistle-blower, as opposed to 34 percent—barely one third—agreeing with Obama and the leadership of both major parties, who portray him as a traitor.
