Ecuador's Correa says Snowden's fate in hands of Russia

One who can’t help oneself can’t help others. Assange is partly to blame for Snowden’s predicament.

Correa cancelled Snowden’s temporary travel visa and essentially said “Good luck kid, you’re on your own. But Hey, keep your chin up :)”. Stranded in a Russian airport…now that’s amusing. This little bastard is getting just what he deserves. Chased by the U.S., used by Assange, stranded at a Russian airport and can’t find a 3rd world country to give him asylum. Didn’t think this through very well did you? A prison cell in the U.S. is looking more attractive all the time, eh? lmao!

And speaking of Assange…trapped in his own little prison. The cops probably have that embassy surrounded 24/7 just waiting for that little turd to try and come out. Maybe Assange and Snowden can work a deal to get adjoining prison cells…lol Karma can be a real bitch!

Didn’t Tom Hanks make a movie about this called “The Terminal”
With USA/USSR tensions tight over Syria, both are practicing detente.
If we quit supporting the rebels, Putin would hand over Snowden. Let’s call the traitor a “playing card”. Even Assange can never go home.

Snowdens action which indicates IMPULSIVE is typical for his age and that is how people at that age lands in situation which causes troubles to themselves and to others.
He has no business to interpret what he saw in an agency like NSA and start disclosing information without thinking of consequences to himself or to his family which he has one that is his father. This father’s feelings and opinions about his son is typical of a helpless one.
The best course of action to this guy is come back and face the NSA and let others workout something for him.

French movie star/tax dodger Gerard Depardieux for minister of culture in Mordva! US intel leaker Edward Snowdon for minister of communications in Tatarstan! Great coup for Russia and pres. Putin!

The Correa’s statement is odd. He says that the case can possibly be taken only “on Ecuadorian grounds.” And what our Russian authorities are supposed to do? Snowden doesn’t have a valid passport or refugee papers. He can’t legally be allowed to enter Russia.
I don’t see why Ecuadorian authorities can’t solve the issue of temporary refugee papers “in absentia.” Their diplomats can visit Snowden in SVO airport, if needed.
Is Correa playing games? Let him put it straight.

Edward Snowden: “Oops”.

snowden seems to be safely continuing his work regardless

and ensuring the world knows the extent of american government in hacking its nato allies to steal economic and industrial secrets

a lot more turds to be flushed out of the white house about
its data whore, the nsa

and a picnic trip to africa will not shield the whore master from confessing his sleazy hand in orchestrating this debacle

snowden is Paul Revere 2013
“an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the anglo/corporate war on freedom”.

It’s amazing that some Americans actually speak out against the fourth amendment.

There is a trip planned by the Venezuelan president so I read 1 He is inviting some friends to fly with him to Russia ! including the Ecuadorian presidente Correa and another fella who also is a very important head of state ! The trip is about the oil business ! I read they are flying on the Venezuelan presidente’s plane ! How big is the plane ? Does it have room for one more going back out of Russia they didn’t say ! Lets suppose there is ! Who is more at risk for ignoring the U.S.A. petition not to take him in ? Who will gain more and who will loose more ? At what price ? President Obama said he will not scramble F-16 fighter jets after a 29 year hacker ! if flying out of Russia on their regular flight to Cuba ! Does that mean the same for the Venezuelan plane ? I hope so !As for the Assange guy ! How big an influence is he in all of this really ? Who is asking him anything ? Does he care about what Snowden and his family are really facing ? I hope they all go to work together in this and find a good and safe solution ! for peace sake ! The world is a better place with out friction between Country’s ! That’s for sure ! Good day !

@Typher: exactly my thoughts as well. I have no idea what people like xyz2055 are thinking when they bash Snowden and Assenge for their actions. It’s almost as if they believe the US government has some sort of unalienable right to deliberately deceive it’s citizens and allies. Where are these people coming from? Are they brainwashed, fervent supporters of good old ‘merica who won’t here a thing against their country? Or are they laboring under the delusion that spying and subterfuge practiced against one’s own people is condonable? Do they think personal privacy should be abolished? Or maybe they’ve just been watching too much FOX news.

scythe….seriously? You are a fool. Snowden is at the mercy of the Russians stranded in one of their airports and Ecuador”s President just revoked his temporary travel permit and essentially slammed the door on him. Snowden is crapping his pants about now. Assange used and abused him. Continuing what work? He has what he has and that’s it. While newspapers in EU may be yelling..notice that those governments aren’t saying a whole lot. Because everyone is spying on everyone else. Paul Revere altered HIS country of a British invasion. He didn’t steal and turn over top secret government documents of a LEGAL NSA program to our enemies. If you look up the word “delusional” they are probably using your picture as an example. This idiot has few options for what the rest of his life is going to look like. None of them are good.

I assume a good number of these anti-Snowden posts are planted by the NSA/CIA to manipulate public opinion. Snowden is a world hero. You people stink to high heaven and I can’t believe I inhabit a world with you in it.

sarkozyrocks..I assure you that I’m not employed by or working for any government agency. The program that the NSA is running has been going on since the Patriot Act was signed into law. First exposed in 2006, GW Bush defended it. Did anyone at the NSA get arrested or go to jail back then…NO. Why, because it’s a legal government program authorized by Congress. Today Obama is defending it for the same reasons as GW did. The program was set up response to 911. It’s primary purpose is to thwart terrorist actions against America and it’s people. It has a number of success stories. BY Snowden releasing those secret government documents from this program he has potentially negatively impacted the effectiveness of the program as well as possibly putting some NSA operatives and Americans in harms way. From that perspective, the only people that Snowden is a hero for..are those that would do us harm. If you steal and expose secret government documents you are in violation of the Espionage Act. Another piece of legislation written and passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. Snowden is a criminal. He freely admits to those acts. Your romanticized support for an individual like this is the highest degree naivety. I hope you aren’t an American. If you are, then please explain how any thing the NSA has done has actually personally caused you harm or diminished any of your constitutional rights….other than in your head.

sarkozyrocks…according to a new Rasmussen Poll…you are in the minority. Only 12% of American’s think Snowden is a hero.

“Americans have decidedly mixed feelings about the whistle-blower who exposed the National Security Agency’s secret domestic surveillance program, but then only one-in-three trusts those who are now defending the program.

Twelve percent (12%) of American Adults view Edward Snowden as a hero. Twenty-one percent (21%) consider the former independent contractor who has admitted leaking information about the NSA’s phone and e-mail surveillance program to be a traitor, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Thirty-four percent (34%) think Snowden falls somewhere in between, while 29% say it’s too early to tell. (To see survey question wording, click here.)”

In yet another poll the NSA Surveillance program is supported by Americans 59% to 38% who oppose it.

Welcome to the Brave New World! Love your prison guards!!! Get a portion of soma and be happy!

Disgusting and sad.

Hey zyz2055, how much are you being paid to write your rants.
You don’t mind your email/phone calls being tapped?
I wonder what your intelligence level is? where did you
get your stats from G. Bush’s supporters? Just put a sock
on it.

Correa, like others, has been cowed by the US government. In his defense, his country depends on export with the United States. As much as he would like to stand with Snowden he really can’t justify it financially.
It takes a real strong country to stand up to the US. Is there such a country?

So did Assange steal some letter-headed paper from the consulate where he’s living, and type that unsigned laissez-passer himself? Or did someone else? The intrigue deepens…

politicaljunkie and BraveNewWorld..your comments were amusing. Ever dawn on either of you that you’re part of the “lunatic fringe” Love your prison guards? lmao. You two are extremely fortunate. You live in a country were your right to express your opinion is Constitutionally protected regardless of how absurd it is. Move to Pakistan and publicly say something negative about Mohammad. Prison Guards Indeed! Here’s a newsflash for you..”1984″ is a work of fiction and not a documentary.
