Snowden heads to Venezuela via Moscow, Havana: airline source
Reuters ^ | 6/23/2013

Posted on 06/23/2013 8:14:12 AM PDT by markomalley

Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden will fly from Moscow to Cuba on Monday and then plans to go to Venezuela, a source at the Russian airline Aeroflot said on Sunday.

The source said Snowden was already on his way to Moscow from Hong Kong and would leave for Havana within 24 hours.

The South China Morning Post also reported that Snowden had left Hong Kong for Moscow and that his final destination might be Ecuador or Iceland. The WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website said Snowden was heading for an unnamed "democratic nation".

The flight to Moscow prompted speculation that Snowden might remain in Russia, whose leaders accuse the United States of double standards on democracy and have championed public figures who challenge Western governments.

But Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he was unaware of Snowden's plans and the Foreign Ministry declined immediate comment on whether he had asked for asylum.

Agreed....and he's got more coming , once he's connected in Equador...and interfaces with Assange via the Ambassador working for Assange in Londons Ecuador Embassy, where Assuage remains under guard. Assange currently only meets personally with people...no access to a computer...the Ecuador Ambassador and Assanges various personal "team" that visits..all relay what Assange wants done.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

“is this DU or FR?”

I almost forgot about those creatures, but I just went there to see what their feelings were after you mentioned them. The discussion I read was very much the same as here...mixed feelings.

The Obama administration, the Obama State dept, the Obama Justice dept, the Obama DHL, the Obama NSA.....etc are the traitors. Wake up there has been a coup d’etat....there is a war being fought for our freedoms and we are losing. Of course they are going to discredit and demonize Snowden and some if you are lining up with the left who are busy at work demonizing him as they busily work at removing our efforts to expose their coup d’etat. Don’t give up the last of your freedoms to these bastards.

For a guys rumored to be so steeped intelligence, I think he just proved he doesn't have any.

That's how it's done in the USSA. Someone's unpopular, they find a crime to stick them with and bask in the glory of the mob.

That's how we got Reno, Giuliani, Spitzer ... well, they all do it now. Wouldn't be shocked if Paula Deen gets charged soon.

Is this some kind of geography show?

Does he have Matt Lauer or Carmen Sandiego or Yoko Ono or Mike and Mel White with him?

Must be why only 23% of people trust the media. And its probably lower than that

The latest Pew Foundation poll found that 54% of Americans want Snowden to be criminally prosecuted but the younger the person polled was the more likely they were to view him as a hero. 60% of 18-29 year olds see Snowden as having performed a positive public service. Both Tea Party members and folks identifying as liberals view Snowden positively.

So am I correct in understanding he’s in the air right now, maybe 1/4 of the way to Havana?
