Hunting Edward Snowden

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.

Trump Trumps Trump

An Open Letter to Mr. Trump.

Respectfully, I have been a reliably Republican voter since Ronald Reagan’s first term and although I disagreed substantially with some of our candidate’s positions I never questioned their courage or their Trump_Palin_Dumb_Dumberwillingness to stand strong in the face of criticism from near or afar. Vicious criticisms are always a fact of life if you call yourself a Republican.

I must say, sir that you are becoming a disappointment to me. Your turning tail and running from a potential confrontation with Megyn Kelly strikes me as behavior no better than what we have already in the Oval Office.

If you are as good for this country as you say you are, and if you want me to believe that you will even attempt to do the things you have promised in your campaign, then get your ass out on the Fox Debate stage and defend your ideas.

Trust the American people to judge if you have been unfairly treated.
