PEPE ESCOBAR : Edward Snowden...Our Man in Quito

So it's going to be Our Man in Quito. The narrative may not be as elegant as Graham Greene's, but the

It takes a former CIA asset to beat U.S. "intelligence" - more like intel deprivation. The story of Edward Snowden's escape from Hong Kong is textbook. This correspondent, at dim sum on Sunday, was alerted by a source; "Get ready for something big; he's leaving soon." That was about 12:30 pm Hong Kong time. In fact Snowden had already flown from Chek Lap Kok on SU 213 bound for Moscow at 11:00 am. But nobody knew it yet. Hong Kong was still digesting the front page of the South China Morning Postdisplaying yet more devastating evidence of U.S. cyber-spying of China.

By 2:00 pm there was a first, one-line alert from the South China Morning Post; he was on a plane to Moscow. I talked to RT in Moscow; they were stunned and sprang into action. Still total silence from Western corporate media. Then the Post confirmed the breaking news with more detail. Yet it took ages for Reuters to release its first short dispatch - as I had commented on my Facebook page. When the "international community" started to learn about it Snowden was already five hours into his flight.

Asia Times Online had also learned from another source close to Snowden's tight circle that a short stint in Hong Kong was always part of Plan A; he never intended to ask for political asylum in either Hong Kong or China. He was already focused on a "third country". What he did was to use Hong Kong as an ideal platform to unveil the inner workings of the Orwellian/Panopticon U.S. surveillance state.

Pepe is at the top of his game and, as is usually the case, one step ahead of everyone else when it comes to news items like this one.  It was posted on the Asia Times website yesterday...and it should come as no surprise that it's also courtesy of Roy Stephens.  It's also his final contribution to today's column.
plot certainly beats the Bourne trilogy - because it's happening live, in real time, right in front of our eyes.

Pepe Escobar spills the Beans about The Global American Empire




Listen to internet radio with JasonLiosatos on Blog Talk Radio



Jason Liosatos with Pepe Escobar investigative journalist, author and geo political analyst. We talk about the US full spectrum dominance on the global war on terror and the inevitable blowbacks, consequences and feedback loops from their actions and rhetoric, and their financial supporting and weaponizing of the so called rebels who inevitably turn against them. Also the fact that the Pentagon is the real global terror which perpetuates and proliferates itself. We also discuss Africom and NATO as the same thing, and Africom as the Pentagons official counter strategy against China in Africa.
Pepe also talks about our lack of free time and reflection as an overworked, exhausted population, too consumed by basic survival, with barely time to think, in order to seek out, look at, and embrace, the real news.

Pepe Escobar : Let's Not Forget Iraq

Even after the US occupation, Iraq continues to witness external intervention on an enormous scale. Is this what is driving the country towards becoming a failed state? Is the Maliki government contributing to Iraq's fragmentation? And why is Iraq currently out of the media spotlight, despite all the things happening there?

Pepe Escobar :The American Policy in the Middle East and North Africa is a Complete Disaster

Pepe Escobar : Shadow wars & no interventions - US plan for MidEast & Asia "Obama called Libya a success story", that's true if you consider a war crime first category by violating a sovereign nation a "success story" And at least it is more as what Obama can say about the US itself which even the most notorious liar does not call a "success story". The neo-con/PNAC/AIPAC plan has always been about destabilization - creating chaos - with the crazy belief that this will somehow lead to the NWO of total spectrum dominance by the Washington Empire. It's crazy simply because the corporate part of the military industrial complex, cannot do business/exploit in unstable countries: witness what just happened in Algeria in the gas plant.
