Could This Really Be Edward Snowden in Russia?
Oct. 7, 2013 1:53pm Becket Adams
Edward Snowden has apparently been living a life of poverty in Russia, surviving on meager charitable donations.
A photo from Russia’s Life News purports to show the admitted National Security Agency whistleblower after an apparent grocery run.
Is This Really Edward Snowden in Russia?
Image source: Life News
Snowden’s lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, reportedly confirmed the photo’s authenticity and said Snowden is considering a job in publishing or journalism.
From a rough Google translation, via Gawker: “this photo shows that he lives, as many live in Russia… and it should be noted [he] is quite poor… at the moment he is living on donations… However, the money he has left is very little.”
The weird thing about the photo is that it goes against Kucherena’s earlier claim that Snowden sneaks around in disguises. It would appear not.

Har de har har. I bet he thought he'd be wined and dined and given free Ukrainian teenagers to screw by the KGB. Serves him right, I hope he starves and freezes to death this winter.

Well, almost agree. I think he ought to be burned at the stake outside the gates of Arlington Cemetery. But freezing to death while hungry sounds fine too. Almost compassionate and merciful given what he did, really.

Nah, too martyresque. I'd like to see him spend his days as a Janitor on an Xe run (Blackwater) blacksite.

I'd like to see him on Dancing With The Stars. Or that show with Flava Flav and the Red Sonja.

Interesting you should mention Blackwater. Their North Carolina facility is called "Academi Training Center" now. I'm scheduled for a firearms training course there shortly. I was in Elizabeth City for a day or two and drove up to Moyock to find the place. I will say this, they are far more serious about their security than they were last time I was there, right after the Columbine massacre. I really got the stink-eye from the entrance supervisor when I asked if I could go in to speak with the Black Bear Inn people while I was there.Audley Strange wrote:Nah, too martyresque.

Unless you're on the roster for that week, you don't get in. Period.
I'd let Snowden run long-range movers...on the berm's near side.

I doubt very much he thought that. I'd like to see him pardoned - he committed crimes, but he brought to light things that were very much in the public's interest to know. He'd be a good case for jury nullification.Seth wrote:Har de har har. I bet he thought he'd be wined and dined and given free Ukrainian teenagers to screw by the KGB.

I think the message that he is skint is being put out to make the Americans feel slightly better about it.
It's almost certainly bollocks, and in any case, being skint in Russia is much better than being in an American prison.
He'll tell the Russians all he knows, and disappear with a fat little nest egg.
Well, that's what I'd do if I was in Russian intelligence.
Or maybe give him a job, where he couldn't operate as a double agent. Just in case.

What happened to his asylum bid in Ecuador (or was it Venezuela)? Is that still on?
