PRISM leak narrative now taking form of Chinese espionage
2013-06-10
Go ahead Bob, run with this one will you ?
Former CIA officer Bob Baer said on CNN Sunday evening officials are speculating that Edward Snowden's whistleblowing could be "potential Chinese espionage." Snowden came forward yesterday and identified himself as the leaker of the NSA's massive surveillance operation.
Not us mind you, all part of a much, much larger threat.
Snowden revealed he was currently located in Hong Kong.
Yes, the meet appears to have taken place at the Mira Hotel. The décor still sucks.
“It’s [Hong Kong'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,” said Baer.
Thanks for the geography lesson Bob, who knew ?
When he was asked if there was a possibility to extradite Snowden, Baer responded, “We’ll never get him in China. 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.”
Exactly! The Sino-Snowden link proves the program must continue.
President Obama recently met with China's Presdent Xi Jinping where they discussed issues of cybersecurity.
The famous desert walk.
Baer said, “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.”
And the response might have been.....?

#4  Baer responded, “WeÂ’ll never get him in China. TheyÂ’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.” Snowden will, I am certain, simply disappear (UP)....

#1  The ever-changing narrative? That has a familiar ring to it. Oh, I remember. There was the pesky video narrative that was responsible for Benghazi. Hillebeast responded: "What difference does it make anyway?" There were the two rogue IRS agents in Cincy. Recently, according to Representative Elijah Cummings, we found that "It was a Republican operative" responsible for the IRS mess. Fast & Furious? It was Bush's fault--And the gun dealers along the border who were supplying 90% of the guns to Mexican drug cartels. The white cop at Harvard who was doing his duty when a black professor's house appeared to be broken into? The black professor was arrested (for getting testy about providing identification). We were told from the WH, it was a racist cop; turns out the police officer had a unblemished record and followed good protocol. And there was Holder's version of the AP and James Rossen scandal. When questioned, it was said "Nothing like that would go on under me"

The truth has been a casualty along the way. And we have had assaults on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.
