1. WTF???

Why not martian espionage


They should get more creative , if they're gonna make things up.

2. could see that one coming....

a mile away...

3. Yep.

Chinese hacker(s), Hong Kong, recent China's visit, maybe no dots, but connecting the dots . . .

Don't bold well for the 29er.

4. His brilliant plan seems to be coming unraveled

5. Baer could well be right. Snowden is 29 and may be shy. All it would take would

be a very friendly, pretty face. And China has lots of those. The timing makes that look possible, maybe more than possible.

But, we have to wait and see what China does.

And it does not change or detract from the real issue which is that, thanks to new technology, our government can snoop with stealth methods, silently, so that we never notice it. Their snooping violates the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. And decisions by the Supreme Court to the contrary do not change that fact.

We have wandered so far from the Constitution in terms of restraints on government and safeguarding personal liberty that we might as well either simply cancel the Bill of Rights or else get back on the right track.

Baer may have a point, but it does not change the fact that our government is in the wrong and has been playing a big charade pretending to protect human rights as it step by step does away with ours. And it is this fact that deserves our focus. Because if we are not a free nation, what difference does it make what China is or is not doing.

7. Chinese spy or not (I think they're grasping at straws) the important

matter is your point of wandering so far from the Bill of Rights. To me, rectifying the situation is urgent or we'll forever live with our inaction.

[JDPriestly]

8. Yes. We need to ask every one of our senators and representatives

where they stand on these violations of our rights and vote accordingly.

9. I don't want to wait until the next election rolls around. I say put the squeeze on

them now to enact legislation to end the cyber 'kettling'. You're letting them have another opportunity to say what they know you want to hear so you'll vote for them. Time for them
to put their stances into action or not, their choice. Again, im(very)ho.

6. What a load of horse crap from the CIA and what voyeuristic joy the report had at the idea

of extradition and prosecution. The whole thing made me sick.

10. How strong are the British connections to their former territory? n/t

11. Of course the truly "guilty figures" plotting from behind the scene

need to be people of color, not white for goodness sake.

12. We're all Germans now.
