Oh for heaven sakes. Like Snowden had any choice in where he would fly to next. Snowden is a political hot potato, and he’s being tossed from one Commie country to another until they can get him out to a country that will take him in, most likely Equador. He might have to make one last stop in Cuba before being bounced to Equador, or possibly Venezuela.
Snowden has to be sent to a country that will be able to protect him once he is there, and keep him out of the clutches of Obama who is real PO’d right now because he’s been given a very public espionage outing, and Snowden’s whistle blowing has exposed the fact that not only is there foreign spying, but also domestic spying by Obama’s regime on our own citizenry. He’s going to go after Snowden tooth and tong.
I don’t think Iceland will be safe for him, that leaves Equador or Venezuela. Snowden doesn’t have a lot of choices, and his final location is in the hands of Putin at the moment. Putin doesn’t like Obama. Putin will stick it to him. Obama is going to end up politically and internationally with a very black eye (pardon the double entendre).
The bottom line here is that Snowden chose to go to Hong Kong because it has a modicum of freedom from mainline China, and it was a close and safer choice for him to make when he first fled as he lived in Hawaii. So it was logical for him to fly to a country that was easiest to get to physically. He didn’t go to China; he went to Hong Kong, which is a bird of a different feather because of its British colonial heritage.
I am so sick of the various talking heads and particular congressmen saying this morning on TV that Snowden has chosen China (not Hong Kong, they keep saying China to make it sound bad), the Soviet Union (like he had any choice; and as it is a long plane flight from China heading West, there had to be a stopover somewhere), and then possibly to Cuba (again, the plane has to land somewhere over here so he can then hop to Equador or Venezuela). Snowden’s fate as to where he eventually ends up depends on countries that are communist, whether Snowden likes it or not as it’s his only route out.
Bottom line, I believe Snowden will end up in Equador, where he will be best protected from the long arm of Obama and his regime. Obama will go after any whistleblower that dares to adversely cross him and his thugs and that makes them look bad or blows the whistle on the behavior of their regime. It’s the Chicago way; I ought to know, I have lived and worked in downtown Chicago, and now (retired) reside in the one truly conservative suburb of Chicago, DuPage County.
First, Snowden knows what he's doing and will do it despite the feverish lets-make-a-guess projections of those following his rather dramatic flight.
Second, everyone here should be gosh-awful grateful that Snowden blew his whistle well in advance of the crucial, life-or-death mid-term elections....which Obama and thugs plan to STEAL and CORRUPT with the aid of all the overt and still covert electronic instrumentation they have at their fingertips.
Without one lone, bespectacled guy whistling in the dark, any Obamafia criminality a short 17 months from now will be at least a little more difficult to get away with....now that major light has been shined on a lot of their evil machinations.

Excellent post!
Did you see FOX last night? Whistleblower on “Hore-Aldo” said there were many that 0 was charging with espionage. All were people who were exposing his corruption
