Nicaragua Offers Edward Snowden Asylum, Venezuela Promptly Follows
Update: First Nicaragua, now Venezuela.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Friday he had decided to offer asylum to former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has petitioned several countries to avoid capture by Washington.
"I have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young American, Edward Snowden, so that in the fatherland of (Simon) Bolivar and (Hugo) Chavez, he can come and live away from the imperial North American persecution,"
Maduro told a televised parade marking Venezuela's independence day. Snowden is believed to be holed up in the transit area of a Moscow international airport.
And so the "lead investor" principle comes to the asylum world. Now everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Just the headline for now from AFP...
#BREAKING Nicaragua's president says he's willing to give Edward #Snowden asylum
— Agence France-Presse (@AFP) July 5, 2013
We can't help but wonder how long before the US Marines invade again and take him home...
Via Reuters,
Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega said on Friday that he had received an asylum request from U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden and could accept the bid "if circumstances permit."
Via LaJornada,
President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, said today ready to grant asylum to the informant and U.S. secret services specialist Edward Snowden, and said he would "be happy, if circumstances allow."
Speaking at a rally against government supporters in Managua, Ortega confirmed that Snowden sought refuge in this country, through a letter delivered in recent days to the Nicaraguan embassy in Russia.
UPDATE: Via Russia Today,
"We are open, respectful of the right to asylum, and it is clear that if circumstances permit it, we would receive Snowden with pleasure and give him asylum here in Nicaragua," Ortega said at a public event.

These Chinese are on their Anti-American honeymoon .... they'll find out how reliable their Latin partners are .... give it time to cook a little .... the Chinese are already being run out of .... Ghana's gold mines ?
What puzzles me, or maybe I should not be puzzled, is how these countries announce these decisions via a megaphone.
Why can't they just get the message to him directly or quietly?
Its almost as of they want to be "shouted down" by their peers...that is, world governments.
Then they can say, "Hey look peeps, we tried but we've got trade agreements and foreign blackmail...errr, ummm aid arrangements coming in to think about, for you."
He needs to stay in Russia or the most "unfriendly" to the US place there is...go underground and emerge as a different man...its the only way.
Maybe get a Brad Pitt haircut and carry a surf board ;-)
He can go to Iran and marry a gaggle of Burka Babes.

Now wait just a minute...

...still, naw, I'd be holding out for moar licker at this point...now, if she has a navel ring under that bed spread...hmmm.
Nope, can't compromise my principals ;-)
+1 knuks
"Hands, wow!" lol
Well, theres always that...lol.
Outside of the nutcases that run the country, there are quite a few Iranians that are alright. The Green Revolution was not supported, with the the help of the Basiji, it was put down.
So I'm not so sure Ed should trade down for burkas and water when he can have Ukrainian and vodka.
But thats jus me ;-)
Iran would be ok except for the fact that Isreal is going to have their big, retarded friend bomb the hell out of them in the not-so-distant future.
hey, i resemble that comment, you hater of retards, how dare you, you shouldn't be allowed to have access to a computer...sarc off.
im sure your comment hurt some truly retarded us citizen, but i support your right to say it, no matter how cruel and insensitive it is....
God i hate PC.
America as a big retarded friend. Very funny, I like that.
Iran isn't Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. Some of their women are fucking stunning!
I used to date one. And she was GIB. Didn't work out for other reasons.
S.A. is rife with diseases not borne from fun...i myself want to be returned to russia, hell just to say im from the country of Pravda...preferably up in the north woods...away from it all...true fredom.
So is the US intelligence community devious or incompetent?
Mistakenly thought Snowden was on the plane and risk an international incident in an attempt to catch him. = Desperate and incompetent?
Or
They knew he was not on the plane were attempting provoke someone in South America into offering him asylum. = Attempting to distract from something else?
It was a test to see what would happen if he was rumored to be on the plane.
Best way out might be a Russian military flight.
I think it's part of the political solution on their end. If something happens to Snowden after asylum is announced, it looks worse for the US than if something happens while he's "unprotected."
I think the bigger question is how does he move, when the US is willing to commit acts of war to prevent that from happening. If the president of an entire country isn't safe, how can Snowden be?
Because he isn't going there, so they announce it for show. Pure Kabuki Theatre. Forcing down the Bolivian President's plane made that crystal clear -- he isn't leaving Eurasia.
with the NSA in place they mineaswell shout it out anyway unless they write him a letter with a wax seal or carrier pigeon.. message in a bottle.. or perhaps employ Mercury
Soros .... if the NSA .... can spy on everyone in the world .... why can't we have honest elections .... in Chicago ?
They can't help being "machos". Look at me! Mine is the biggest! It would be funny if the whole world sans USA had offered asylum to the mirage that is Ed Snowden.
Because if the U.S. shoots down his plane they can point to that and say- Look the imperialist pigs are at it again!
Poker my friend...in reality hes probably on a Russian sub enroute to Iceland.....smoke and mirrors. One thing is for sure nobody wants this fascist govt to get Snowden despite the message they convey to the MSM.
Whoa. I just figured it out.
Edward Snowden will move to Nicaragua and become The Great Cornholio... I now see the obvious resemblance between the two, but I suspect WilliamBanzai7 can better illlustrate it.
I found evidence at the 1:50 mark here (hurry before it's taken down by government authorities).
US Agents must be scouring their maps for Lake Titicaca...
The Chinese look down on .... Latin Americans, Muslims and Negroes .... they don't show it .... their facial architecture covers their snobbishness ?
but we have such small small penis.. we can't possibly do any harm.. with such small penis
I don't know about that .... I saw a Chinese boxer .... in downtown LA ( I forget the place .... they had fights, roller derby and wrestling events) .... years ago .... and he had something hangin' .... half way to his knee ?
That was his inflatable egg roll
It was a distraction .... and when his opponent took a look .... bam .... he got a nasty upper cut ! You can make a good living .... with a big egg roll ? LOL
This place gets weird as hell sometimes.
you must be a commie and thus have no sense of humor.
Just wait till the pork & fried rice is served!!!
(Praise be to Allah most merciful)
Racist piece of shit you are.
The Chinese look down on "dark skin". Chinese are obsessed with "white skin". They don't like to get a sun tan. But they don't "hate" these other races; they just love white skin.
He has to get to Nicaragua to get asylum there. That means flying over International Waters or even NATO controlled territory. I still say he goes to Iran for this very reason.
All he has to do is fly Soviet-flagged carrier to Caracas or Havana.
If Havana, Castro will see he gets to Caracas.
IF he comes back to USA, you will have to assume he is a plant. There will be a secret trial, but he will actually be in the witness protection program.
Look, I am happy he seems to be giving the finger to the PTB, along with everyone else.
However, what has he actualy released?
If he has The Big Stuff, why have we not seen information on Ben Ghazi, the fake killing of bin Laden, economic information on PM and currency manipulation, or information confirming the provenance of one Hawaiian born politician? And there is more, each of you can think of a truly stunning info dump on a subject that would cause true damage to TPTB.
Now I am an old guy, but I have been around this stuff for years. Notice I wrote "Soviet" out of habit. I just caught that. What I am trying to say is you have to get beyond the headline stuff and really think things through.
For instance, think about Putin's reaction: he can stay IF he stops releasing information. Put your thinking caps on, that is a red flag, no pun intended.
Spookland is run by chess masters, contrary to popular scepticism.
Buyer Beware.
Good luck, kid, if you are for real. Constitutional law outranks contract law.
how about Belize? McAfee probably can shack him up in his joint
Plus, he has blow, hookers, and gunz.
Daniel Ortega .... so wanted to be the new Che Guevara .... then an aide informed him .... he would have to die young .... that nixed the deal for the vain little lolly pop trollop .... now that we've seen him older, fatter and uglier .... he has to shoot for other goals .... like letting the Chinese build a canal .... and giving assylum to Snowjob !
Isn't there a brand of salsa and chips named after him?
There's a whole line of Ortega Mexican food items .... good stuff .... a great Capitalist enterprise .... in the good ole USA .... but they've been around long before that vain little twerp .... Latins are cute to a certain age .... then they go to pieces !
+ 1, como casi siempre, pero mi latina es bien bonita!
Daniel Ortega is the Abraham Lincoln of Nicaragua. Anyone who is informed regarding the history of the US brutality in Central America can do nothing but cerlebrate the victory of the Nicaraguan people over the US evil empire. Those who say otherwise are either ignorant or are simply jingoistic US trolls. The US is the most bloodthirsty empire the world has ever known when a true body count is done, and when the sum of human suffering and pain that we have caused, committed and supported is finally tallied. I am ashamed to be an American, and I hate what America has become - as contrasted with the vision that the founders had for our country. I am an American, and I love what we should be, and could be, but I hate what we have been made into by a small minority of greedy, evil, ignorant tyrants who have managed to dominate the political process for generations.
Abraham Lincoln: "I freed the what .... the Nicars ?"
Thank You.
Wow, so we're like a Mao-Pol Pot-Ceaser-Attila-Hitler-Khan-Stalin dynasty squared?
In only a couple centuries, with no tell tale skulls in a Great Wall?
We're fucking number one bitchez! ;-)
no one should live under communism, especially those who want to. sounds like you're in favor of some people being slaves, some people being masters. usa aint always right, but shit, we are the best that's ever been or will be. how bout those german killers or russian killers or pussy swiss or swedes, or lazy pretty much everybody else, oh yeah, they're cool.
So you are saying that Ortega was a genocidal maniac who killed 1.1 million of his fellow countrymen for the european bankster families to gain control of the south for their fellow carpet bagger tribesmen to pillage? After the banksters were finished with him they gave him free tickets to a play?
If he, and it, are so great, why haven't you moved down there?
We hope to stay HERE and clean this purge this country from neocon zionist rubbage like you. Go back to Israel or wherever the hell you came from.
My, the stupidity and ignorance on this thread is breathtaking. Knee-jerk name-calling based on absolutely nothing except disagreeing. Hmnnn. You seem to have all the requirements for someone eager to violate the rights of others. But really why doesn't that individual move there. I mean--take a look around you. How's your "saving" of the country going?
Listen up, get that ear piece out that's plugged in to your brain...Things simmer, before it boils. We are the ones that keep things simmering, till we decide it's time to boil. You want fast action? That's Vegas baby...this is real life. Now go report back to HQ, you scruffy assed turd. Welcome to fight club. You just got hit by Grandma. Come back at me babe, don't let your old school conditioning get in the way of a good fight. Freakin poseur in shades...damn. We really get the bottom of the barrel in talent from the three lettered idiots.
Begone, Minion!
Lincoln wasn't much of an economist, either.
I am quite proud to be an American.
I have voted against this stuff for years.
Of course, we now know that the machines are rigged.
When the leadership and control of my country goes south, it is up to US to change it.
Frustrated at other citizens for lack of attention? Hell, yes.
Ashamed to be American? No. I am ashamed I have not done more, nor have my fellows.
"Honest Abe"? Honestly? How's about an honest list of his successes & failures:
The history(?) channel did a program on him some months ago, showing that he was actually a closet gay. He live with and shared a bed with one guy. Then another. But don't take my word for it -- check it out.
There are only two places I would consider going if I was in Snowden's situation. Either one would be fine:
1. Russia. They would never turn him in to US prosecutors. If that's not possible, then ...
2. Iran. It's a huge, mountainous country and he could get nicely and safely lost there.
While false leadership everywhere is certainly coming to terms with itself, beware the ones who get excited about simple attention-generating moves.
It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind
I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind With a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives, gunned down ten, Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind, ride like the windGonna ride the wind
Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight[when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
It is the night, my body's weakI'm on the run, no time for sleepI've got to ride, ride like the windTo be free again
And I've got such a long way to go(Such a long way to go)To make it to the border of MexicoSo I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind

Margarita Island in Venezula is one of the nicest, most beautiful places in the world to live. That's where I would go.

That island was used by Chavez to harbor Islamic terrorists.
Doesn't the Weekly Standard have a blog that you could ue to spout your Neocon propaganda?
Not a neocon, dummy.
Hey Agent Scruffy (Member for 25 weeks and 1 day - no posts). Why don't you go back to lurking and snooping. That's what you're trained for. Nobody's interested in reading your bullshit.
Hey ADHD Kiwi-brain: why'd you read it then? And, are people really that credulous and paranoid that they imagine every other person is some "trained" spy? (P.S. Learn how to do comment searches. Then you'll be able to find them.)
The damage inflicted on the USA was from the financial institutions. Their bait and switch scheme on a global scale has been a success. The upheaval is just an RT TV click away. People are suffering in a fashion not even a Roadside instrument of war can do, it's a slow hemorrhage and the sudden paralyzing fear when forced to acknowledge, our elected officials have planned this all along. Well, you can't fool me. I know who is who here. And you make the citizeens pay for the tearms which will send them into a warehouse to fight for their lives.
This is so goddam serious, I shudder when I believe you cannot project into the future far enough to see where this is going. Now there is little time to fool around with trying to convince you that a nation that is insolvent will be forclosed upon and though it may be called Agenda 21 and sustainability, it's the tow truck, the sheriff with the keys. This is a fucking overthrown of a govt and nothing less and i want SOMEONE TO STAND THE FUCK UP AND SAY IT.

The most important video of all time has 111 views. You stupid fucks are gliding along, counting your marbles, killing the pain which ever way it takes, while you appear to disregard the fact that the debt, true job situation (unlivable wage), costly health ins is going to send people into the hands of the state or govt.
It is business. Globalization. Investment in one country ceased, funds extracted, held in place in preparation for development, redevelopment, in an entire new economy. Rather than sit at a table and talk about it, the plans are colored with pretty crayons and the applause is like an Amway meeting. fucking tragic that this is going on. it's beyond comprehension americans do not realize this is a halocaust in th emaking because the sick will not live through this. The offensive will not either. Depends on whom you are talking to. Globalization is centralizing a nonelected body of govt to do as they please. Oh sure...that will work out well. Freedom marching in the background as these poor people are fleeced to bare bone and then sent to their graves in a FEMA coffin liner, a statistic (badge of honor) for the people writing the history books. You better be careful. This is no game and Americas will be targeted regardless of your loyalty. Chased down like nazi criminals just for owing taxes your now default govt debt collectors, will leave you with NOTHING.
Venezuela probably won't make the news if he picks that country. Did you know Venezuela gives tons of oil to U.S. poor through Citgo? Been doing it for years.

The CIA in South America did some nasty stuff in the past. It's like the KGB of yesteryear in Poland.
No wonder these countries hate the US. The US involvement like this is not what the writers of the constitution wanted.

Well said.
But don't neglect the present.
AWESOME! Finally MEN and countries with BALLS, courage and decency.
Awesome? How will Snowden's mighty conscience fare under Maduro and Ortega, those twin paragons of virtue who know nothing of smashing the rights of others? Oh well, the man with the sensitive + burdened conscience will gag himself in order to get along.
smashing the rights of cia traitorous stooges? Sometines thoe who do not play by the rule of law and who are traitors to their own country -are dealt with by similar standards. In Amerika, we simply put them on a kill list. Don't lecture us on "rights" when those who are charged with protecting OUR rights, don't give a shit about rights or justice.
Who's lecturing you, pal? And who would bother, with your blowhard ignoramus attitude. Keep pretending. It'll be a narcotic for your soul.

The men who crashed the global economy and got away with it....and a banker who stated the same thing (I want to rip their beating hearts out of their chests and eat them before they are able to die).
Now FUCK OFF YOU ASSHOLE. WE KNOW WHO THE TERRORITS ARE.
Agent FUD, nice try at deflection & redirection. Not buying what you're selling. Unlike some here, I don't have ADD and won't go for the bait.
The REAL debate is not about the Snowden minutia, but the facts exposed, that were previously only 'suspected' and 'rumored'.
Now go see your handler or take your ADD pill.
Um, if you think everyone who shares an opinion that you don't understand and/or agree with is an agent with a handler, I'd suggest you get a refill on your prescription.
One journalist offers advice to Edward, should he accept Venezuela's offer of asylum:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/07/10/what_edward_snowden_sho...
He wanted to go to Iceland, understandably.
As for "decency" --do you really think this sort of thing fills that bill?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/venezuela-shows-that-it-cant-hand...
Which country already has ALL of their gold returned?
Chavez was odious, but not dumb. Venezuela has their gold, unless Maduro robs it (or if Chavez did before he died).
And of course, in the future Venezuela's gold is vulnerable to a "Tunisia Style" robbery by a departing tyrant.
Nicaragua, if I was Snowden I would not be feeling too safe.
I give him less than 3-6months before US forces pick him up.
Oh yes Im sure you and the world will be outraged.
How about Venezuala? In any case, it wouldn't stop the data from being released,
"[Snowden] has taken extreme precautions to make sure many different people around the world have these archives to insure the stories will inevitably be published,” Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald told the Daily Beast.
“If anything happens at all to Edward Snowden, he told me he has arranged for them to get access to the full archive.”
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/secrets_weapon_TtMmYvmXu00AB4...
be carefull Ed these people will sell you out for a half dozen old F-16's
Sheeeeit. They would give him up for halfway decent Phantoms.
Why doesn't he try to get asylum in Somalia?
All the spooks need do to off Snowden is broadcast a terminal disease
over his DNA frequency. Works fine anywhere in the world.
In case you're wondering why DHS wants DNA samples of all US citizens.
And I thought it was pushy to just say it was Aliens.
Its easy to say, but he just needs to announce that he is coming and get on a plane to DC. Will see if they try him as enemy combatant.
But, I probably would not do that. Then again I probably wouldn't leak info in public. Would just quit.
Not too many are willing to step up and be heroes, but it only takes a few to inspire others.
I am 99.9% certain that if Snowden were to return to the US - with whatever assurances he was given by Obama's criminal government about his treatment and access to justice and whatever publicity surrounded his arrival back in the US - a re-run of Bradley Manning would follow. He would very quickly disappear out of sight into some unknown prison location where he would be seriously maltreated.
This was Snowden's response on twitter;
Edward Snowden @EJosephSnowden 3h YES! YES! YES! FUCK YOU, AMERICA! The Chavezistas came through! Snow Den, here I come! :D YEEHHAWWW!!
The fireworks will begin once he finds his temporary shelter.
This is what the criminals fear.
I can see Wiki and Snowden doing a massive release, which will assuredly garner some airplay.
Manning trial wraps up soon.
And since nobody else has said it... Fuck you criminal racketeer mother fuckers
Madura hands the U.S. its ass, coming up at 11.
They offer him asylum because they know he'll never get there.
These countries are getting free expat advertizing too:
"Hey Snowden supporters: when you get tired of Authoritarian surveillance, come down here and be more free."
Great PR toward a target audience and didn't cost a penny.
Putin could offer Snowden safe passage by nuclear sub to any port in the world in return for eveything he knows. Four laptops of info including agents, codes, passwords, backdoors into Prism + systems we've never heard of, Obama's Tuesday kill list. I'm sure he'd consider it a fair swap.
Right from the beginning of the Snowden circus which begun at the Guardian paper (reflecting the views of the left wing of British intelligence), it was suggested that MI6 is deeply involved in this limited hangout Psyop. During Friday, July 5, The UK government (and the Guardian) continued to leverage the public fallout from this crisis in order to further complicate relations between the US and the EU by blocking the first crucial talks on intelligence and espionage between European officials and their American counterparts. For some mysterious reason, there is apparently no mention of the UK’s massive data mining operation run through GCHQ which hands data over to the NSA… Details here: http://osnetdaily.com/2013/07/nsa-leaks-fallout-british-crisis-mongering-continues/
Best keep an on eye when Snowden leaves Moscow and fire up www.flightradar24.com to watch progress.
Most interesting will be what he travels on. Will it be an Aeroflot flight to Cuba?
The last Russian flight to Cuba he was thought to be on changed its flight path soon after it passed over Swedish airspace taking it down directly over US land territory, instead of flying down off the East Coast, where it was very vulnerable to being forced or shot down if Obama went completely mad.
Will the increasingly unstable / unpredictable Obama attempt to force down a Russian flight?
He got away doing that against Bolivia, but he wouldn't get away with it against Russia.
Putin is teabagging Obama.
If an Aeroflot flight goes down with Snowden on board, it's lights out, Bill Paxton - type "Game over, man. Game over" situation.
We wouldn't even know what happened before the fires come.
Quite possibly.
Hence the previous change of Aeroflot flight path taking it directly over Cleveland, Atlanta and Tampa. Bringing it down over heavily populated areas would have made it very difficult for Obama to deny responsibility and blame it on technical problems with the plane, like TWA 800.
Aircraft sabotage... it's more common than one might think.
Russia could NOT care less! Snowden is their pawn, trapped between a poke in O'Bummer's eye and zero responsibility for being on their soil. This is the perfect outcome for Russia, the continuing open wound to stick their finger in. They would keep him forever in limbo.
You say that Russia does not care less about Snowden. Maybe true. The point of my previous comment was the possibility that the criminal "Obama" might consider forcing down a Russian flight with Snowden on board. Methinks that Putin would care a lot about that. No?
"...he can come and live away from the imperial North American persecution."
Note that he said 'Imperial North American' NOT 'USA'.
He is referring to all of North America, not just the US of A.
The US State Department is getting more proactive just in case Snowden attempts to travel and seek asylum in Venezuela.
See:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jul/06/us-request-extra...
Calm people. It has yet to be worked out. More (moer) coming. I await the next seemingly disconnected relevations, Patience is indeed a virtue.
It is a sad day in America! I love my country but, my country is WRONG! When we choose to indite the people who don't follow illegal orders it is a very sad day. My country is wrong Snowden is a HERO! It's also sad that saying that now my land me on the no fly list. What have we fallen to? Our freedom was fought by so many from Geo. Washington to Dr. King and we arrive here at TYRANNY. One day in our future will we have a celebration Snowden day? If not I fear we never recover our loss. I had thought for some time that Nixon was not as bad as history or my memory had painted him. Now however he should have been on trial along with J. Edgar Hoover as traitors to our freedom. We let these incidents go unpunished as we did Ollie North and this is our reward for not protecting the slightest incursion on our freedom. O'Bummer must be impeached!

"I have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young American, Edward Snowden, so that in the fatherland of (Simon) Bolivar and (Hugo) Chavez, he can come and live away from the imperial North American persecution,"
finally some decency!!! the united states is a soviet (ie wall street) terrorist organization.....after all of the oppression and abuse south america has suffered from american imperialists, you would have thought this would have happened much sooner....
