North Korea uses Snowden in propaganda video
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden is featured in a new video produced by Uriminzokkiri, a China-based website that provides news and propaganda from North Korea's central news agency and has been described by Reuters as being "ultimately controlled from Pyongyang." The Uriminzokkiri video includes photos of Snowden alongside Guardian coverage of his leaked NSA documents, an ominous soundtrack, footage of Washington, D.C. landmarks, and falling bits of computer code in the style of the movie "The Matrix"
According to a translation from NK News, the narrator in the video claims, "recent news on America’s illegal spying activity has angered countries around the world." The narrator also slams South Korea for its close relationship with the U.S.
"The funny thing is that South Korea is taking sides with its master by rationalizing the idea that any country’s intelligence agencies can collect clandestine information for its own national security. Regardless of whether or not the story can be confirmed, South Korea has to consider the United State’s situation, they say, " the narrator says. "How humiliating and servile! Only a puppet government would welcome American activities with open arms and applaud, even when they commit murder, wage war, or plunder wiretap."

By Paul Eckert
(Reuters) - Revelations by former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden will make it harder for the United States to confront China at talks this week over the alleged cyber theft of trade secrets worth hundreds of billions of dollars each year.
Snowden's disclosures of American electronic surveillance around the world give China an argument to counter U.S. complaints that it steals private intellectual property (IP) from U.S. companies and research centers.
Cyber security is at the center of high-level meetings between the two countries in Washington that will show whether a positive tone struck by President Barack Obama and new Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit last month can translate into cooperation on difficult issues.
Top U.S. officials from Obama down have long tried to convince China to recognize a clear line between the kind of cyber espionage by spy agencies revealed by Snowden and the stealing of technology.

Against NK for using his image without permission. 
Poor little Yellowsnowden.
If North Korea made a video like this, and since North Korea is our deadly enemy, patriotism demands I no longer can support Snowden, or his actions. Thank you! 
Ummmmmmmmm! Snow coffee!
Pyongyang, North Korea!
That beacon of hope and freedom which is known for its opposition to domestic surveillance.
He's so dreamy, like Ron Paul.

Leak n' Run Eddie
Someone needs to expose NK to HD video
&nofeather=True
Of course NK and other countries opposed to the US are going to use it for their own purposes.
I love the implication that Snowden supporters are essentially in league with NK though. Very Bushian. 
"When I see McCarthyesque guilt-by-association and specious questioning of character
Under the guise of "just reporting the facts" becoming a pattern, I'm revolted, because it's the same bullshit Fox and RW talk radio used to disparage the Occupy movement and shoot the messenger rather than face the harsh reality of the message.
I think we're done here. This isn't good for my blood pressure."
...the Creative Speculation forum. That nonsense would likely fit right in.
I mean, here you are trying to pass off being pissed because Greenwald and Snowden are being criticized as being "revolted" by "McCarthyesque guilt-by-association and specious questioning of character."
Too funny.
"I can't help but think about it as you have 3 Snowden posts on the front page already today."
...3 post "on the front page." The horror! I hope it doesn't keep you up tonight.
You know what's funny: I can't imagine a scenario in which I care who has any number of posts "on the front page."
"You will not change anyones mind because Snowden is not the issue."
Again, why are you focusing on this?
"Snowden's actions result in propaganda by N.K. and by you as well. You are doing the EXACT SAME THING as N.K. just hoping for the opposite result. "
Holy shit!
Well I'll tell you why is are I focusing on this.
Because I had a day off and not much to do so I thought I'd come by and see how much worse things have gotten.
Funny thing is they haven't gotten any worse. It's all the same shit over and over. Broken record.
Good luck with your crusade...
"Well I'll tell you why is are I focusing on this."
...that's funny. Fixed.
"Because I had a day off and not much to do so I thought I'd come by and see how much worse things have gotten.
Funny thing is they haven't gotten any worse. It's all the same shit over and over. Broken record.
Good luck with your crusade... "
Cool, that doesn't really explain the bizarre focus or this:
"Snowden's actions result in propaganda by N.K. and by you as well. You are doing the EXACT SAME THING as N.K. just hoping for the opposite result. "
Yikes!
"Are you saying that your 10 posts a day about Snowden are not propaganda? "
...that is your belief and question, and it has nothing to do with me. You seem to want me to confirm and reject your straw man.
My opinions are not "propaganda." Frankly, you're using a cheap and despicable tactic to dismiss opinions you don't agree with.
"Do you not understand what your crusade looks like from another perspective? "
Again, with the bullshit characterizations.
"Look I'm just being honest here, obviously we differ in opinion about the trustworthiness of the Government and the NSA. Is that so horrible that you have to spend all day every day attempting to denigrate people like me? Can't you just agree to disagree and maybe attempt to find common ground? Why the 10 posts every day? I mean, YOU WON. You already won, the NSA program is staying up, the data center is on track for finishing no laws are going to be changed, the secret FISA court will remain secret, Snowden is a wanted fugitive, and I have to settle in for the fact that the government is inching closer and closer to a surveillance state.
You Won. Why the need to rub it in? "
Now you want to play victim as a way to dismiss my opinions? Really?
"Won"? What the hell are you talking about?
I mean, you jumped into this thread launching personal attacks, some bizarre, and now you're trying to pretend you're persecuted.
Give me a friggin break.
In fact, the whole episode is hilarious.
"You can't even win with any grace. I guess the paycheck must relieve the sting of shitting on actual liberals."
...you're now now using your personal attacks to play the victim. It's a sight to behold.
It's like telling a Justin Beiber fan that his music isn't the best music that was ever produced, ever!
Proceed.
but to point to a thread where you prove your ignorance? LOL.
I never commented in that thread, and the embarrasing comments in it come from you and your friends!
...who are my "friends"?
Sounds paranoid.
"You must really admire NK propaganda. They can control a whole country with their propaganda, and you can't even control a couple dozen people on a website with your propaganda. Don't feel too bad, though. I'm sure you make more money than the propagandists there!"
WTF?
You didn't disappoint. Now that's embarrassing on steroids.
Nice try.
"mock me
it gives you another chance to kick your stupid thread."
You previously said:
The vibrations of truth shows in this thread.
Your clones cant' defend you on this one.
Laugh it fuzzball
I mean, these are the kind of arguments we see daily from this snowden haters group. ⇨
"I mean, these are the kind of arguments we see daily from this snowden haters group."
...it's not about Snowden: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023208548
Yeah, speaking of "simple minded"
