Former CIA Officer: Officials Considering NSA Whistleblower's Case 'Potential Chinese Espionage'
(June 9, 2013) - Former CIA case officer Bob Baer revealed on CNN Sunday evening that intelligence officials were possibly considering Edward Snowden's case as Chinese espionage, after Snowden came forward this afternoon from an undisclosed Hong Kong location. "Hong Kong is controlled by Chinese intelligence," Baer said. "It's not an independent part of China at all. I've talked to a bunch of people in Washington today, in official positions, and they are looking at this as a potential Chinese espionage case."
"On the face of it, it looks like it is under some sort of Chinese control, especially with the president meeting the premier today," Baer said. "You have to ask what's going on. China is not a friendly country and every aspect of that country is controlled. So why Hong Kong? Why didn't he go to Sweden? Or, if he really wanted to make a statement, he should have done it on Capitol Hill."
According to Glenn Greenwald, Snowden said he chose Hong Kong because "'they have a spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent,' and because he believed that it was one of the few places in the world that both could and would resist the dictates of the US government."
CNN host Fredericka Whitfield asked if there was any chance of China extraditing Snowden.
"We'll never get him in China," Baer said. "They're not about to send him to the United States and the CIA is not going to render him, as he said in the tape, is not going to try to grab him there."
"It almost seems to me that this was a pointed affront to the United States on the day the president is meeting the Chinese leader," Baer said, "telling us, listen, quit complaining about espionage and getting on the internet and our hacking. You are doing the same thing."
Okay, Bob. You say he should have made his statement on capitol hill. Yeah. Right. If he did he'd be locked up in Gitmo or murdered by some jackbooted government thug and all of us would be getting the propaganda you plant right now. This guy is smart enough to know he cannot trust the US government, Bob - you freaking moron. Get a clue stooge! the guy wants to live. Oh and one more thing. China is as free as the US - they just don't act like they have freedom though if you go there you will feel more free than in the US which is the land of the fee and home of the slave. All you CIA fucks suck unless you stand for freedom like this guy did.
ReplyDeleteI smell a rat, and wonder wether snowden is a chinese or a US rat. Maybe he"s just nuts, but his story is hollow.
ReplyDeleteObviously the response of a Federal Government employee firmly attached to the "Federal mammary";...YOU my friend, along with your ilk, are the RATS ! ! !
DeleteNONSENSE ! ! !...Snowdon is the "Paul Revere" of this era; It is Barak Hussein Obama and Eric Holder who should be arrested, incarcerated, indicted and tried for tyranny ! They have suppressed "whistleblowers" enthusiastically over the last four years thereby squashing TRUTH; and have done it by the use of unlimited citizen taxpayer funding. Answer me this: Where are the 20 to 30 State Department employees saved by former Seals and sequestered by Obama and HIS Justice Department minions and toadies; these State Dept "gun sales staff" should be testifying before Congress as to the last actions of "Chief Government Arms Salesman" Ambassador Stevens (Was he also involved in the failed "Fast & Furious" debacle in collusion with the Mexican Government????????
