You are paranoid I merely ask you to expand on your brash statements.
If you actually knew anything about the Snowden case then you'd know what I'm talking about. What's hilarous about you is that you linked to a Guardian story, the opening paragraph of which states
I would agree with you, I know very little about snowden other than what I read in the media, what I conclude is he is a complex charachter a spy trained in the art of disinformation.
From your comments you know him personally or you have direct access to him, maybe this is your Walter Mitty side revealing itself again.
Please do not take this as a disparaging comment, Smurf you talk boll@cks.
The man should be granted asylum in Europe for exposing the sanctimonious cant flowing from Washington however the overnight farce of EU countries assisting the rogue actions of the US (not for the first time, c/f the black torture sites) mean that he will not. It's also apparent that Europe's manufactured outrage over the Empire's spying on innocent civilians will change nothing.
We may as well hold a party to say good bye to the curtain manufacturing sector as only people with something to hide need them.
Thats what the media is reporting, lets face he could be anywhere including a shallow grave.
While Snowden skips from one country to another we have to question his motivation
One theory flying around is that hes not a whistle blower at all, and this is yet another load of BS cooked up by the powers that be - i dont think so personally.
he has created enough publicity about himself go back to the USA face trial and finish the job.
Easy for you to say, youre not the one looking at 'who knows what' in terms of penal punishment...................or worse.
What the hell does "finishing the job" actually mean? Taking on the US government and winning? I wanna hear your explanation on this one Warszawski.
Ever since Snowden left his job as a federal contractor supporting the National Security Agency (NSA) and exposed national secrets, he has been hailed and vilified. He stated, initially, that he left the NSA because he was appalled with the level of spying on American people. That made him a hero to many people and a traitor to others.
I have been away for over one week and I have not been following any news on Snowden, reading through the news the article I copy part of the text which is closest to my opinion of the current situation.
I think hes currently doing the right thing, IF he is a legitimate whistle blower
I guess you are going along some disinformation line that he could be a spy giving Chinese and Russians false or misleading information, this line of thought I do not agree with.
I am not convinced 100% of Snowdens motivation, some of the statements he has made seem to be right out of a John Perkin books. .
I guess you are going along some disinformation line that he could be a spy giving Chinese and Russians false or misleading information, this line of thought I do not agree with.
Put it this way: im about 70% convinced he is what he claims to be, but the way the media is set up these days who knows what the hell to believe.
Russian security agency to buy typewriters to avoid surveillance by Anna Arutunyan at 11/07/2013 12:26 Russia's Federal Protection Service (FSO), the Kremlin agency that protects state officials like the president and the prime minister, has ordered 20 typewriters in an apparent bid to avoid leaks and surveillance like those revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
An order for 20 typewriters and 600 ink cartridges costing up to 486,500 rubles was placed by the agency earlier this month, according to documents published on the official site for government tenders.
According to sources in the agency, security agents want to use typewriters instead of computers to avoid leaks and electronic surveillance.
No surprise there. Poland still hopes to gain much from US. It's all political. If, what Snowden did was done by somebody in China or Russia, he would be hailed a hero.
Mr. Putin said Russia had invited Mr. Snowden to apply for asylum on the condition that he first stop his political activities - presumably all leaking of classified information that could harm the United States. But given Russia's long intelligence rivalry with the United States, it is hard to believe that Mr. Putin has not been enjoying Washington's discomfort over Mr. Snowden, and even his student audience laughed at the suggestion.
It is interesting that no country in the self-designated Free World agreed to shield this man who warned them that the government has the ability to steal your online identity and use it to prosecute you.
