Why didn't the CIA nab Snowden in HK?

[limequat]

This keeps bothering me. It all seems too easy the way that Snowden is making a fool of the administration.

The CIA has a station (under diplomatic cover) in HK. Why didn't they just open the door and take him?

They still don't know who he has reached out to. They need to develop a wide ranging contingency plan before they even touch a hair on his head.

Snowden refuses to set foot in a Mercedez.

[brandon]

Because it would be a huge international incident to "nab" someone in a foreign country, out of our jurisdiction. We only intervene like that in puny 3rd world Muslim countries that have government and armies and economies of no significance. We don't fuck with super powers like that.

[Elias Graves]

Because he was never there.

The same reason why the Russians are not "taking" Russian oligarchs that escaped to London,and the reason is war.No organized country will allow citizens to be kidnapped from their soil because it makes politicians look weak at home and that can cost them the elections .It also makes them look weak in the eyes of other countries so it makes the process of creating spheres of influence much harder.

(... because, of course, the administration could never manage to make itself look foolish all on its lonesome. It must be part of a plan! ...)

Maybe because they haven't watched the same Hollywood spy thrillers we have ...

I will say this , they do not want him in Russia ? why did they wait to cancel the ID.

Who the fuck knows what is happening. None of what you hear, half of what you see, and all that strikes your mind as the truth.

I will say this. We are under a world survelance from all governments of this world. 1984 yet it hasn't been uncovered just yet. How do I know?

Let's just look around this earth right now, and see how similar all the countries in this world are. Socialism here, socialism there, freedom no where. How this grid has stayed so tightly knit so far, I believe is because of many reasons and who wants to put their life on the line to tell the idiots of the world they are in a big prison camp?

It's obvious we are going towards understanding what we are in the further in time we travel.

I am not sure if this guy is legit or not, but it doesn't matter, they want us to know where we stand for now. Which means it's best to raise as much hell as possible at this point in time and going into the future. It's a battle of the minds.

They cannot defeat me 11, :) If they grind me to dust, I have others to take my place.
