President
says 'cold war mentality' is behind Kremlin's decision to protect NSA leaker
rather than hand him over

Barack
Obama has said he is "disappointed" that Russia granted temporary
asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden instead of sending the
former government contractor back to the US to face espionage charges.
Obama, in
his first comments about Snowden since Russia's decision last week, said the
situation reflected "underlying challenges" in dealing with Moscow.
"There
have been times where they slip back into cold war thinking and a cold war
mentality," Obama said on NBC's Tonight Show.
Snowden, an
ex-NSA systems analyst, is accused of leaking details about highly secretive
government surveillance programs. He spent several weeks in the transit zone of
a Moscow airport before being granted asylum for a year.
Russia's
decision has pushed the White House to reconsider Obama's plans to travel to
Russia in September. He said he would attend an international summit in St
Petersburg as it was important for the US to be represented at talks among
global economic powers. But he did not say whether he planned to attend
separate meetings with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
The White
House has said it was evaluating the "utility" of the Putin meetings.
Obama also
criticised a new Russian law cracking down on gay rights activism, saying he
has "no patience for countries that try to treat gays and lesbians and
transgendered persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to
them".
Russia has
said it will enforce the law when it hosts the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Asked whether the law would affect the games, Obama said he believed Putin and
Russia have "a big stake in making sure the Olympics work".
"I
think they understand that for most of the countries that participate in the
Olympics, we wouldn't tolerate gays and lesbians being treated
differently," he said.

Now, we
have about four minutes before we run out of time, and this is a bit of a
complex topic. But Matthew Ward told us in I think his June message that Obama
is working with the galactics; that there are galactics in the National Security
Agency; that the National Security Agency was gathering evidence on the
Illuminati, and that explains why Obama was supporting the… well, if not
supporting, then not doing something about the spying of the NSA. It’s really
directed at the Illuminati.
Can you
talk a little bit more generally about Obama’s working with the galactics? And
if you can — I mean, you may not be able to, but if you can — on the galactics
in the other agencies and what they’re doing to bring forward a cleansing of
those agencies, please?
AAM: Let me say that your star brothers and
sisters, the galactics and the inter-galactics are everywhere. And yes, they
are certainly very deep within the administration not only of the United States
but might we say most powerful nations, and those that you would not even deign
as powerful.
So yes, of
course Obama is working with the galactics, and he has been for some time. And
that partnership has been important. Now, there have been some very rough
patches, and we would be remiss if we did not mention them. But it is not yet
time to discuss the fullness of those rough patches. They will come to light.
The purpose
of what you think of as spying has been, yes, targeted to Illuminati or those
who are not acting in the best interests of the collective, whether it is the
United States, Israel, Botswana, Switzerland, Germany, Russia — it does not
matter.
There are
more of your star beings, your brothers and sisters on the ground than you can
fathom. And one of the reasons why this approach… not only has the approach
been taken to assist in this shift, it has also been taken to anchor that
energy fully and completely on Gaia.
So, the
vision of a fleet of starships arising, or coming across the horizon and
causing fear has been circumvented. Look to the person standing next to you and
look in their eyes. There is a very good chance that you are looking at one of
your star brothers or sisters.
SB: Wonderful. Thank you very much, Lord. …”
