From the documentation:
"
In a literal that has been determined to be timestamp without time zone,
PostgreSQL will silently ignore any time zone indication. That is, the
resulting value is derived from the date/time fields in the input value,
and is not adjusted for time zone.
"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-datetime.html
8.5.1.3 Time Stamps
Especially after the examples.
