I traveled to many countries world wide and this is the only country where I encounter Real Honest To Goodness Slaves on a shrimp farm run by the newspaper owner in Guayaquil. I am sure there are others, but this was the only one I saw.

Maybe double O dork face has a future there. A dark and long future.

Had he stopped at exposing what the government was doing he could have been a hero but his subsequent actions leave no doubt he is a traitor.

Snowden should announce he's hiding out by relocating to Benghazi, Libya. He'll be safe from American law enforcement and military capture.

“Aren’t most shrimp farms owned by Chinese in Panama, Ecuador etc? Kind of a fascinating business and those shrimp are shipped here in 5lb frozen blocks.”

You can probably throw in the shrimp farms in SE coastal Asia and Western Coastal Mexico as owned by the chicoms.

Goodpoint!

NSA, DOJ, FBI, CIA, HLS, ATF and other rat controlled organizations would never find him in Benghazi.

Over on Bloomberg online they have this:

Ecuador, the South American nation mulling an asylum request from fugitive U.S. intelligence leaker Edward Snowden, renounced its U.S. trade benefits today, saying they were being used as “blackmail.”

“Ecuador doesn’t accept pressure or threats from anyone,” Communications Secretary Fernando Alvarado said in a statement published in the presidential gazette. “It doesn’t barter its principles or submit to mercantile interests, however important they may be.”

I have only minimal confidence they could find him in Chevy Chase.

Translation: The United States has been so weakened that not even a country of 15 million people is frightened of it.

The ones we saw in Mexico were away from civilization. Of course they probably wouldn’t have shown us shrimp farms by sewage plants.

That’s what I’m reading into it as well. Maybe Ecuador considers its relationship with Russia/China more important than any relationship with the U.S. May be wise at this point.

Probably a lot of elite Chicago Thugs attached to the OutHouse live in Chevy Chase.

So NSA, DOJ, FBI, CIA, HLS, ATF would not be able to find him amongst those traitors living in Chevy Chase and fleecing us in DC.

Thanks for the realtime input.

==============================================

BACKSTORY A high-ranking Ecuadorean official (speaking on condition of anonymity) told AP that Russia and Ecuador were discussing Snowden's destination.

NO SURPRISE NSA leaker Snowden seeks asylum in corrupt Ecuador---taxpayers know sap-happy Ohaha wont queer that deal---b/c O needs Third World latinos to keep dems in power.

(Wiki leaker Julian Assange is staying at Ecuador's embassy in Britain---his group is financing fellow-leaker Snowden)

BTW, the US has no diplos in Ecuador---they threw out the one we had b/c our diplo squealed on their corruption and heroin drug-running.....but Ecuador still gets some $35M foreign aid from the US........PLUS tax dollars illegal Ecuadorians living here send back home.

============================================================

The stranglehold corrupt Third Worlds--like Ecuador--- have on the US was never more apparent than with the immigration reform atrocity.

A GLARING EXAMPLE---The corrupt Dominican Republic depends on the $$BILLION US tax dollars PER YEAR its illegal populations in the US send back home to the impoverished Third World hellhole.

Any attempt to harbor Snowden---and any individuals undermining US ntl security----should be met with swift retribution.

=========================================

FREEPER ALERT---Contact Congress Toll Free 1-(866) 220-0044

MESSAGE TO SENS GRASSLEY, SESSIONS, AND CONG TREY GOWDY: Taxpayers demand to know the total tax dollars illegals from Ecuador (and other Third World hellholes) living here send back to the corrupt country. And explain the ways corrupt third world countries--- like Ecuador---- influenced the "reform bill" to solidify THEIR interests on the backs of US taxpayers.

“his subsequent actions leave no doubt he is a traitor.”

His subsequent actions leave no doubt that he doesn’t want to be thrown into a pit somewhere, until comprehensive domestic spying becomes accepted as the new normal.

That may be very true however, the one I visited was owned by an Ecuadorian News Paper owner.

Ecuador has stated the “Refugee Document” listed below has been proven a fraud by Gov. official in Ecuador....so Snowden cannot enter until the matter is settled one way or the other.

A document allowing the entry to a third country could be a refugee document to enter Ecuador that the Ecuadorean authorities have given him, something the WikiLeaks whistle-blowing website, which provides Snowden with legal support, reported earlier.
