In reply to the discussion: CIA rendition jet was waiting in Europe to take Snowden in 2013 [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)The linked article is a virtual goldmine of information.
"... according to our source, a member of an internet aircraft-tracking network run by enthusiasts in the UK ..."
Surely you're not going to argue with rock-solid sources like an unidentified "enthusiast" who tracks aircraft traffic on his computer?
"The online tracking information reveals that the Gulfstream did not make it all the way to Moscow, but set down and waited at Copenhagen Airport."
There you have - proof positive that the flight was headed to Moscow, because the article clearly states that it "didn't make it all the way". I suppose you'd prefer to believe some crackpot theory that the plane landed in Copenhagen because that's where it was headed the whole time. How gullible can you get?
"According to Mr Snowden's colleagues, if the Russians knew that an American team was on its way to bring him home, they did not warn him."
Again I will assume that you believe no one was 'warned' of this plot simply because no such plot existed. Your naivete is astounding. Everyone knows that if no one is warning you of something, it is irrefutable evidence that something is going on that no one knows about.
"The US Department of Justice did not respond to our requests for information regarding N977GA and its purpose in heading to Europe on 24 June last year."
What possible excuse could the DoJ have for not responding to a 'journalist' who has exposed their nefarious plot, supported by such an array of overwhelmingly undeniable facts?
If the DoJ has nothing to hide, a full and complete answer to each and every crackpot who contacts them should be the norm. The fact that they refused to reply to Mr. Campbell's demand for particulars serves as just another stunning example of the entire department's 'excuse' that they have better things to do.
Hopefully, Mr. Campbell will persist in getting to the bottom of this story. Perhaps he should mention his source, "enthusiast", the next time he approaches the DoJ. Once they realize he's willing to name non-names, they can't help but be convinced that he knows people who know things - and can prove that things that never happened are actually a cover-up of things that never happened.
If you can't be bothered to proudly wear the official hat, Steven,
you'll never be a journalist of Duncan Campbell's stature.
