MASH UP! in US STATE DEPT: TRANSCRIPT and VIDEO...SAVE IT! For Weekend

or WHENEVER.... You will Want to see this. The First Few Minutes are Revealing...but the Rest is an EYE OPENER!

Huge "Hat Tip to DU'er "Catherina" for the Basics of this in Her Post here where the TRANSCRIPT of this is WORTH A READ.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3242461

But then the VIDEO of this needs that BOOKMARK or WEEKEND READ ...however we do our viewing in America of the 99% these days...

Or...if you are a new DU'er or someone who doesn't have much time....then get to it when you can. It's on USA GOVT. Web Site so (Hopefully it won't be scrubbed)..

HERE:

STAY WITH IT ....It's an incredible VIEW of our GOVERNMENT IN ACTION! Our State Department's View of Edward Snowden.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Just bookmark it for when you have time. The VIDEO is the Best...but some DU'ers need the "Print Interview/Transcript". I have links for both there.

Really ...it's a MUST READ/WATCH!

I was blown away in a horrified way when I watched it. We've sunk so low. Next floor up, the cellar.

Thanks for sharing it with your partner

State Department's Spokesperson.

I didn't think she was professionally Diplomatic in the way I would expect.

She got "into it" with the AP Reporter who was asking some tough questions and she just didn't seem to be able to answer in the way I'd expect a "seasoned" diplomatic spokesperson from our US State Department to have been trained to deal with.

Just my humble opinion. She seemed like "Think Tank Speak" to me...

I've sent it to a few friends in the last couple days because I couldn't stop thinking about how despicable their position is. I agree that everyone needs to see how cavalier they are with their own propaganda.
