Who is Edward Snowden

[Odinson]

What history has shown us is that certain political-parties create threats.



The burning of reichstag for example. The nazi party blamed that on commies even though we all know who burned that building...

The nazis gained power because they were "for the people" and they were gonna set up a defense.



USA president is using these threats to pass laws which take peoples freedom...

I do not want to visit USA if I could be inprisoned for looking suspicious foreigner.



Obama passed this law... In silence of course.



Man, somebody should kill that new face nigger!

I know. But it's getting totally out of hand in the US. It's close to becoming a military/police state.

The Chinese government controls many facets of life in Hong Kong, the former British colony that has been a "special administrative region" of the People's Republic for the past 16 years. But the fate of Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, may not be one of them.



And as Mr. Snowden prepares for a legal battle in the courts to fight off an expected US extradition request, pro-democracy activists here have seized on the fugitive as a symbol of their resistance to Beijing's increasing involvement here.



Snowden's presence "galvanizes the importance of the rule of law, and underlines the difference between Hong Kong and the mainland," where the government's word goes unchallenged, says Michael DeGolyer, who teaches politics at Hong Kong Baptist University.



Snowden himself told the South China Morning Post last Wednesday that "my intention is to ask the courts and people of Hong Kong to decide my fate."



Beijing has not made it clear how the Chinese government thinks Snowden ought to be treated.

I believe if China wants him out, he's history.

He has a nice first name. The best name in the world to tell you the truth.

Even Edward Snowden's dad is telling him to cool it.
