Is Edward Snowden in Danger? Spooky Tweet May Trace to Cryptic Bitcoin ‘911’
Sputniknews.com ^ | 11 August 2016

Posted on 08/12/2016 9:24:56 PM PDT by amorphous

An unexplained tweet issued on the whistleblower’s account sparked concern over his physical safety, tracing to a bitcoin transaction in the amount of "0.000911" leaving some wondering if it is a cyber distress signal.

Alternate narratives were quickly proposed, including one purported to be by the whistleblower’s girlfriend, saying that he had been killed, while others speculated that the encrypted tweet, which was quickly erased, was a signal by an alive and well Edward Snowden, ahead of a major document release.

Concerns for the whistleblower subsided late Saturday when journalist Glenn Greenwald responded to a query via Twitter about Snowden’s safety, saying that, “he’s fine.” The message was mirrored, albeit not in direct terms, by journalist Barton Gellman.

Still, mystery shrouds Snowden, whose account has been inactive for over 160 hours, an unprecedented time period for the outspoken civil liberties champion, after his mystery tweet, which was preceded by the similarly cryptic message, "it’s time," only days earlier.

If the DNC staffer killed was his Wikileaks informant, that is:
A. a legitimate reason for Snowden to be afraid for his safety
B. the greatest evidence in favor of the “Clintons are thugs who’ve had inconvenient people killed” narrative I’ve heard since the 1990s, Vince Foster coming to mind
C. will be the center of conspiracy theories for years

If he is still in Russia, and IF a Clinton hit man managed to kill him, I would expect a serious reaction from Putin.

Unless Snowden has served his purpose, then Putin doesn’t care.

Putin’s serious reaction may be to ask Obama not to interfere when he tries again to take over the Ukraine. Snowman may be used as a pawn on an international gameboard. But then, who would not expect this from two powerful countries still practicing at ‘making nice’ (and pushing Reset) after a generation of Cold War.

If Snowden has any say in his location (doubtful) he should leave Russia or at least find a friendly embassy like his pal Assange. I’ll bet the two of them chat together, and I’ll bet unknown parties read or hear every word spoken between the two men. A spy being spied on by spies that he spied on.

It has been since August 5 that the world has heard from Snowden. It is August 13th now, that is 8 days - an unheard of amount of time between contact from Snowden. Something is wrong.

“ the greatest evidence in favor of the “Clintons are thugs who’ve had inconvenient people killed” narrative I’ve heard since the 1990s,  “

In movies the main bad guy is surrounded by thugs. This allows the bad guy to play a laid-back, high-brow character and still project menace as we all know what the thugs are for. They also serve as the foil for the antagonist’s dialog so he can move the story forward by giving orders that put the protagonist in danger. This is how fiction works, and because of this it is how people like you and me think the real world works. It probably does work that way at the level of the Gotti crime family, but the Clinton crime family is a world away from the streets.

The Clinton’s are politicians. A huge retinue of people, like George Soros, and organizations, like The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, are hitched to the Clinton wagon. If the Clinton’s are successful, these people and organizations see a clear path to whatever their agenda is through their solid Clinton connection. A lot of these people and organizations have no ethics, morals or conscience. If the Clinton’s win, they win; simple as that. Therefore they will do anything in their power to make certain the Clinton’s win.

I would be shocked if there was a direct line that could be drawn between the Clinton’s and any single act of murder or mayhem. The closest they have probably come is contacts between senior staff of theirs and senior staff of the individuals or organizations who want them to win. Lawyer to lawyer, over a nice dinner, somebody asks Vince Foster what would free the Clinton’s from the issue at hand. He jokingly says, well if so-and-so doesn’t testify they are Scott free. Then so-and-so ends up dead. Foster puts two and two together and gets upset.

The Clinton’s are an evil cloud, the rain from which will nourish crime and criminals the world over. When talking about big, international deals with the Russians, which mostly means the former KGB-turned-Mafia, you can bet that inconvenient people end up conveniently dead. The Clinton’s stroll through this oblivious to the screams and blood splatter.

If Snowden is a traitor, what are Hitlery & Bill Clinton, Obunga, Soros; the NSA, CIA, DHS, FBI, directors, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Senate.

Just who has betrayed whom? Who has betrayed the American People, and our Constitution more, Snowden, or these others I've named above?

You/we don't know the half of it, and wouldn't know that, if it wasn't for those, at great risk to themselves, who've shined a light on these lawless government operatives, circumventing the Constitution for personal gain.

Who has debased our currency, brought illegals and terrorist to our shores, killed millions in the womb, promoted immorality, destroyed healthcare, destroyed education, indebted millions, regulated small business out of existance, ...!

So, WHO is really THE traitor????

I see you, like many others on FR, fail to understand the magnitude of what Eddy the Snowman actually did. Conflating Eddy with all those others just minimizes what he did, which seems to be the point of such an argument as you put forth.

Please explain where, when and how Mr. Snowden violated Article III, Section 3 of The Constitution of the United States.
Thank you.

If you are unaware of the circumstances at this late date there is nothing I can do for you - you need to educate yourself by reading the voluminous posts on this topic here on FR and elsewhere.
