if he had wanted money he could of sold his soul to the highest bidder in silence, you know, like congress, the house, and the $80 billion dollar a year security industry. he could of had his face in the trough in so many ways and you or i would never of known.
maybe "comrade eddie" did not want to be a "good german" or trust the other "good germans" to protect him.
but sure stick your head in the sand and go all 1950's and blame reds under the bed if that makes you feel safer.

in the last few weeks we have seen clapper lie and be exposed as a lier, mueller lie and be exposed as a lier, and with the release of the FISA court submission, obama lie and be exposed as a lier, you can actually watch all these people lie, read the documents that expose these lies, and watch what snowden said about his motives, and i know who looks more trustworthy to me.
how can anyone defend these liers is what i dont understand, nobody can plead ignorance.

what russia and china do have in common is, nukes, and a lack of fear.
