Why did the brilliant trained spy ever go to Hong Kong? Why didn't he fly directly to Venezuala

57. If I were going on the run from the most powerful

country in the world, I'd try to find a space with a gazillion people to lose myself in and a city
whose government wasn't inclined to let the CIA come in and kidnap me back to the
U.S. If Chavez had still been alive perhaps he could have gone straight to Venezuela cause he would have relished in defying the U.S. This new head, waivers.

In any event, he's in Russia because we stranded him there by canceling his passport and underestimating Putin's glee in poking a high publicity stick in our eye.

A guy who had the courage to publicize what his conscious told him was wrong-doing by his country cannot be a spy selling secrets to China and Russia because he was giving the information to the American people through journalists and sunlight. We're the only ones who can do anything about all this and try to protect our own rights.

Wikileaks pretty well exposed our State Department to be an arm of big corporations and fossil fuel companies. Snowdon's revealed apparently the NSA is just another arm. Taxpayers support all these government arms and legs of corporations while they funnel their jobs and money overseas. We're paying for the knife to cut our own throats. So Snowdon isn't the problem. He's the one pointing out a source of some of our problems. So, I thank him.
