I’ve had a sinus infection for a few days. I thought I might have gotten it from someone at work who was sniffling and sneezing a lot, but now I think it might have been caused by Edward Snowden. He seems to have god-like powers to cause events that would otherwise be out of the control of a single human being, so yeah, he probably caused my sinus infection too.

Fear the demon-god Edward Snowden!

I’m just surprised no one has (yet) made the connection between Snowdon and the Missing Malaysia Flight 370. I have a “hunch” he is responsible for the lost plane, so that proves it.

Oh look at the green cat on the black grass! It’s the Snowden effect I tell ya!

First Snowden says he doesn’t have any documents in Russia. He gave them all to Greenwald. Snowden hasn’t released any info as it has been hand picked by Greenwald to reveal. (with now the NYT and Washington Post adding to it). Greenwald has verified this and in addition said that Snowden didn’t want all the documents released, especially those that would harm others. He wanted the misdeeds of these spying agencies revealed.

The steady drip of documents coming out, has been far more effective than the Wikileaks releases or the Manning document dump. The slow continual release has kept public attention on them, not allowing them to fade off into non-interest.

Those that have come out against Snowden have had about as much creditability as the agencies themselves. To hear a politician say it’s because of Snowden tells you where the dishonesty is. Everything that has been released has proven truthful. Nothing in response to those leaks have proven to be truthful when they defend them. To me it just paints them all with the same brush. One you can’t not believe.

Oh, and thank you TD for fixing that error message on posting. I had quit trying this morning.

Of Snowden’s accusers, General Michael Hayden, at least, is supposed to be a professional soldier. God help any troops who come under his command in battle. Russia has a series of canals linking the Volga River to the Black Sea, to the Baltic Sea, and to the Arctic Ocean. These canals are deep and wide enough that they can handle a destroyer or a small submarine carried on a special barge. The route from the black Sea runs through the Straits of Kerch, just east of the Crimea, then through the Sea of Azov to Rostov-on-Don, and from there by canal. Since most of the Russian Black Sea coast has the Caucasus Mountains behind it, a most difficult place to build a ship canal, the Crimea Peninsula and the port of Sevastopol would be practically impossible to replace. When the Soviet Union broke up, Russia left troops behind in the Crimea to ensure its naval access to the Black Sea, and beyond that, to the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, etc. When it became impossible to suborn the Ukrainian government any longer, it was inevitable that the Crimea would declare independence and become part of Russia. The Russians did not invade the Crimea, because they were already there, and had been for a long time. We are talking about plans which were laid down twenty years ago, when Edward Snowden was still a child. The policy of populating the Crimea with ethnic Russians goes back to Stalin, and even to the Tsars.

The Crimea is to Russia what Louisiana is to the United States, the gateway to the great river. In 1862, the American (Massachusetts) General Benjamin F. Butler landed in Louisiana with an invasion force, after the Navy, under Admiral Farragut, had obliterated the defensive forts at the mouth of the Mississippi, and the local elements of the Confederate Navy.
