Bolivian President Plane Denied Passage Over French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian Airspace Due To Snowden Suspicions
Update: Italy and Spain have also been confirmed as states that refused passage above their airspace to Bolivia's Morales on suspicions of harboring a patriot.
Moments ago a rather surreal episode of international diplomacy, or rather lack thereof, took place when the airplane of Bolivian President Evo Morales was forced to land in Austria over suspicions that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden was on board, a claim Bolivian authorities denied. The reason: France and Portugal reportedly refused to allow the flight to cross their airspace due to concerns that Snowden may have been aboard the plane. It is what international law allows countries to deny their airspace to presidents of sovereign countries, when the only transgression is unproven speculation of harboring a whistleblower. Of course, with both insolvent countries bent over and in dire need of some all too precious Uncle Sam liquidity, we can see how they would do anything and everything to gain some favor with Obama.
Per RT, David Choquehuanca, the Bolivian Foregin Minister, refuted the idea Snowden was on the plane, saying "we don’t know who invited this lie, but we want to denounce to the international community this injustice with the plane of President Evo Morales."
Others in South America are also angry, with Ecuador foreign affairs minister Ricardo Patino taking the lead:
- ECUADOR NOT SEEKING SPY PROGRAM DETAILS FROM SNOWDEN: PATINO
- ECUADOR WON'T TRADE FAVORS WITH U.S. ON SNOWDEN ASYLUM: PATINO
- SOUTH AMERICA MUST 'REACT' TO BOLIVIA TREATMENT: PATINO
- U.S. PROTECTING ECUADOR FUGITIVES: PATINO
Then again, Ecuador's indignation would carry some actual weight if the country, which originally was supposed to be Snowden's final asylum retreat, hadn't mysteriously folded like a cheap lawn chair following Joe Biden's brief but focused visit.
Expect more indignation from all sides, and more diverted flights, until the Snowden story reaches it predictably sad resolution.
Finally, we would not want to be an international precious metal miner in Bolivia right now (wink wink Pan American Silver Corp, Sumitomo - which operates the third largest silver mine in the world at San Cristobal - and assorted peers).

I'm guessing Snowden was on the other plane
He (Snowden), was in the diplomatic pouch. ;)
The entire airplane is a diplomatic pouch.
" The entire airplane is a diplomatic pouch." Not when you're directed out of 'SOVEREIGN' Airspace.
The point I was making, was that contingencies were put in place.
"I'm guessing Snowden was on the other plane"
Which Snowden? There's at least three that I'm aware of....
Hmm. Maybe they should block all running water and sewage treatment in all continents but North America, as that pesky snowden might be in the pipes, looking for a farmhouse jiffy john in which to emerge. My guess: in less than 6 mos., powerful telescopes pointed at the surface of the moon will be able to discern Mr. Snowden, smiling ear-to-ear, playing cards with Muammar Gaddafi (you don't really believe he's dead, do you?)
Good ol Uncle Saul. Doesn't care who he shits on at any given time, as long as his club is bigger. I find it fascinating that I still meet people who take umbrage at the description- The Ugly American.
What if they're all lying and this was a plan to get Snowden into Austria?
Austria was first on the list.
Now that would be an O bummer. ;-)
It has just the right amount of European intrigue and payback fun: Right back at ya, you spying Schweinhunde.
.
The only people who have the balls to protect Snowden are the Kahnawake Nation.
OK. Now all those Miami origin flights have to detour around Cuba to get to S America.
Even better yet the Cubans start levying a tax equal to the extra fuel charge to deviate around Cuba for each flight. Good source of capital for a cash strapped nation.
Now we know the coalition in Afghanistan didn't have any choice, did they?
NATO must also be a farce.
I didn't vote for the USA to rule me.
NATO is the private army of the Red Shield Clan.
For those who think Snowden is a ploy -- here's a semi-plausible explanation. He's the black swan that starts WWIII. Plane he's on gets shot down, or country he's in gets invaded by special forces. I'm not in that camp, but I don't rule it out either.
Invade Bolivia a land locked country who's retiremnet funds are invested with JPM?
Not Bolivia. Austria. Wasn't Ferdidand from Austria? Has a certain symmetry, which these sociopaths seem to like. Could cause Putin to throw a hissy fit and take off his shirt. I know, crazy.
And ride on the back of a tiger?
In a "raging" snowstorm. Whilst eating a manatee.
That avenue will not be allowed this time.
Period.
Done with that shit. Hint: The Boat, the Sacrifice on the Water, the Script said he'd be killed (do a GREP, apparently no-one modern liked Elliot, still panned out the way it was called, though). There are larger powers underneath the shitty modern magii, and we're tired of their NIMBY shit.
Madeleine Albright forgot one thing: yimakh shemo ve zikhro. That means you, you G-dless sinner who just proclaimed herself Judge of 500,000 souls. How dare you put a foot near the Temple according to your rules.
Actually, I can't be arsed with modern Judaism or Christianity or Islam: it's all a bunch of genocidal tripe made up by psychopaths who spent their lives corrupting the Logos, or even worse, scamming the idea for cash, power and sex with minors, and none of them deserve a pass. Fuck them. Consider this hunting season on all of them. Evolve or Die. Spare the ones who truly did good works, fuck the rest of them.
Nature and G-D don't give you a fucking gold star for being a mimetic robot with no soul or spirit, who doesn't live. That's the other team, fuckwits.
Add Masonry to that - that's what this's all about.
Fuck it, the time for the cover up is done.
Snowden is bound for the Moon. Who threw that shoe?!
And, ffs - "Bolivia's MORALeS." If you ain't seeing the script yet, there's no hope for you.
Seriously; this is all a test. Glastonbury 2013. The Test is Survival, The Exam is Your Life and the Marks Required for Passing is Living as an awakened Homo Sapien That's it. Although, hint: you don't want to fail this one, it's not something you can retake.
This is a mandatory course, only the time you take it is up to you.
Took it once; got bored with the examiners and parameters, decided to up the stakes and break everything.
Happy Now?
Should have played NICE. (Oh, and Germany: don't think you're not next, I have a special treat for you given that boredom you put me through. A thousand minutes without sleep, a thousand hours without rest, a thousand days without inactivity. Hope you like the techno beat).
p.s. You're all fucked.
False media, we don't need it do we?

It's truly amazing to watch so many countries go full retard in their efforts to protect the continuance of their spying upon each other and upon their own citizens.
Frogs are collaborating with the Americans. They are good at that collaboration stuff.
Hollande is known to be, as you 'merikins' would say, all hat, no horse;
Racist comment.
This kind of silly jokes stinks like a stale hate
Zawahiri got asylum from both Denmark and Switzerland....Bless you Evo for even considering standing against the MOST evil empire.
BTW...Every AL CIAda leader WAS Muslim Brotherhood.
FU NSA!!!
Wouldn't it be a better idea to fly east over russia and the pacific, then all they have is south american airspace to deal with. In any case, there are tens of billions of dollars being spent to give these countries the desired 'loyalty' to the united states.
Ever think Putin and Morales planned this out to see who would take the bait. Remember the Russians like chess.........
.
They did it for the lulz.
...and the Americans, stumped by checkers, find Angry Birds® an acceptable, if sometimes daunting, challenge.
Granting Asylum would be a feather in the cap of any politico going to the polls ( wink wink Merkel ; Rudd ).
If Mr Snowden can hang tough in the airport for another 20 months or so Scotland will welcome him with open arms.
Boycotte those countries and products produced there. Only way you can truly fight back. Vote with your wallet!
Boycott as I do. If I see an Israeli product in a local store, I seek out the manager and explain that I will buy nothing, until he removes the Israeli products. This is quite effective; I have seen no Israeli products in my local shops for many, many years.
Since Bush ll and now with Bush lll, I have been doing the same with USA products, which are quite rare, on the consumer level, because the USA mostly exports tools of war and repression
Such fire.
Such conviction.
Such exclusionary vitriol.
You must be a liberal. Feel good about all that "equality" stuff when you boos and shove people around, do you?
Did I miss a few posts? A Catholic Priest gets beheaded in Syria by CIA supported FSA,and no mainstream media coverage in USA? Happened on June 23,posted on Liveleak and other websites,and now confirmed by the Vatican.We are paying these fellows salaries? To chop heads off of Priests? And sure they have lots of respect for women too? And some teenager was cheeky to them and he also was executed? These fellows are worse than the Iranians fighting for Assads side? Our cities are crumbling and we have spare cash for crap like this? This is what ARIZONAS SENATOR John McCain was doing in Syria? Giving these guys legitimacy? Or hoping to get kidnapped? Did I forget to mention that he was a POW in Vietnam? Ah,F*ggit........
Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Who was it in the senate that killed Hr207 in the Senate s 604. Remind the House that 319 cosponsors.... The house can raise it's approval to around 70%Let's placate my thoughts Bitchez.
Everyone wins, when we take down hedgefunds, "money exchanging douchebags",
Look at Frenceh history of governments; which collaborated with repressive regimes. Marshal Pétain collaborated with the Nazis, just as Hollande collaborates with Amerika. Hollande tried to make it appear that he had a spine by having someone show him how to make a fist and pound on a lectern to protest Amerikan spying on French citizens; He failed because he was afraid to bruise his hand.
I also don't understand Holland's decision.
But the comparison with Marshal Pétain is inappropriate.
Marshal Pétain was in an occupied country. In all occupied countries there were collaborators at all level and people sharing the nazis ideology (say people like Lindbergh or Ford in the US for instance ...)
The LVF (Legion Volontaire Francaise), the French volunteer army that the Germans tried during years to organize, was a gigantic flop: Only a division was supplied to the German army, whereas the Netherlands (with a 4 times less important population) supplied 2 divisions.
At the same time General De gaulle led the resistance from England and General Leclerc and Marshal Juin fought in Africa, then in Italy with the US and British, then in France etc ...
