The German author and writer Ilja Trojanow wanted to fly (from Brasil, where he was until today) to the USA to attend a congress of specialists in German studies.

Recently, he had signed with 33 more writers and authors a "pro-Snowden-antiy-spying" resolution here in Germany

His entry to the USA was denied yesterday.

Computer programmer and former fugitive John McAfee has announced plans to create a new device that would be resistant to government surveillance by creating localized, super-secure networks.

@Walter Hinteler,

John McAfee is not all here so anything he state need to be taken with a gain of salt.

Here is a funny video that also however seems to support my opinion of the man.

[...]The D-Central device will combine existing technologies into a single package of hardware and software, creating a portable network that will extend about “three blocks in the city or a quarter of a mile out in the country” according to McAfee.

Users can set up a network and use it share files, post requests or connect to the internet securely. Each device will create its own individual network, but these can also be meshed together to provide coverage over a larger area.

“D-Central doesn't know who you are," McAfee claims “Every few minutes, [it] changes its identification. Since the networks are invisible to each other and in constant flux there is simply no way to tell who is doing what, when or where."

Although there are no technological details about the device yet available, McAfee claims that it will be so effective that governments will be likely to ban its use. If this happens he promises to sell it in other countries, claiming “this is coming and cannot be stopped."

McAfee’s recent history is controversial. He was named a “person of interest” following the death of his neighbour in Belize. The British-born American claimed that he was being hounded by corrupt authorities and went on the run, illegally crossing the border to neighbouring Guatemala.

But everything that comes out of your prezes' mouths is the gospel, eh, Bill? A guy like you who supports so enthusiastically the war crimes and terrorism of the US should really not be pointing fingers.

It makes you look like, how best to describe, ... how about a flaming hypocrite, Bill?

Coming back to the title of this thread: today, the European Parliament (EP) has named former Snowden a 2013 finalist for its prestigious international human rights award, the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
(The others who were shortlisted are: three jailed Belarusian dissidents and Pakistani girls' education campaigner Malala Yousafza. Past winners of the 50,000-euro ($65,000) prize include South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela and former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.)

Now what is the world does my opinion of McAfee have anything to do with the President or anyone else on earth for that matter?

Shame on them, Walter. I suspect that some day this move will bite them on their collective asses.

Snowden deserves one thing...a fair trial of his peers here in the United States. I hope he gets it.

There's no shame whatsoever, Frank, in recognizing those that stand up to the lies and crimes of governments. That's why the award is called Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

It doesn't matter whether it's a totalitarian state like the former USSR or a Nazi state like the US, it's essential that there are at least a handful of honest citizens, citizens that are nothing like you.

"a fair trial" in the US. What a laugh! Most of his "peers" are delusional folks like you.

Consider the fair "trial" that the Cuban Five got from their "peers".

You dare talk about justice from the US, a country that regularly slaughters millions of innocents and has never paid for any of its myriad crimes.

If I was on that Jury I would vote him a medal myself.

The people after all can not regain control of their nation from an out of control government unless they know what they are up to.

It's the hypocrisy, Bill, the rank hypocrisy.

And the lies. You, and your merry band of lying cohorts take every opportunity to talk up how you have me on ignore but here, you expose yourself as a grand liar.

But the hypocrisy! The crimes of the US, of US prezes are more than enough to keep you busy for a couple of lifetimes.

A Presidential Medal of Freedom is warranted.
Talk about protecting our Constitutional rights to privacy, he earned it!

The three Belarusians were backed for the prize by some 40 EU centre-right and conservative lawmakers.

Malala was backed by the three main political groups in parliament.

Snowden was nominated by the Greens and a far left group.

@BillRM,

Then you admit you are a liar, not to mention an apologist for war criminals and terrorists. Clearly everything you say must be taken with a grain of salt.

The NSA has announced the creation of a new position, the "Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer", a "completely new role" in which the officer will "serve as the primary adviser to the Director of NSA for ensuring that privacy is protected and civil liberties are maintained" in the course of NSA activities.

@Walter Hinteler,

They don't need any officer; they just have to make the penalty for overstepping their privacy bounds very expensive - like 20 years in prison and $10 million dollars penalty. The person reporting the offensive person should receive a hefty reward.

An officer is not the solution.
