If Only Donald Trump Grew Peanuts

Not that we would want President Donald Trump to be anything like the president that peanut grower,  Jimmy Carter was, but President Trump sure could use the same level of support for his attempts to protect the United States from Radical Islamic Terrorism that President Jimmy got.

Hunting Edward Snowden

by

According to TheNational, a “Secret US flight flew over Scottish airspace to capture Snowden“.  I think they missed the part about the little “NSA Search Marbles” that were dropped during the over flight.

THE UK GOVERNMENT is facing demands to reveal the details of a secret flight through Scottish airspace which was at the centre of a plot to capture whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The plane, which passed above the Outer Hebrides, the Highlands and Aberdeenshire, was dispatched from the American east coast on June 24 2013, the day after Snowden left Hong Kong for Moscow. The craft was used in controversial US ‘rendition’ missions.

Reports by Scottish journalist Duncan Campbell claim the flight, travelling well above the standard aviation height at 45,000 feet and without a filed flight plan, was part of a mission to capture Snowden following his release of documents revealing mass surveillance by US and UK secret services.

That the flight passed over Scotland, airspace regulated by the UK, has raised questions over UK complicity in a covert mission to arrest Snowden and whether any police, aviation or political authorities in Scotland were made aware of the flight path.
