You guys are losing your giant Dinosaur too? Drumheller is planning on demolishing the world's largest dinosaur in 2029. Sucks because it's a huge tourist trap (it's $5 per person to climb up and view the whole town) but Tyra is really showing her age and will be 30 in 2029.

airport passport control and security regime there. According to Drumheller, this reality limited the role that American and British intelligence operatives could play there and Snowden would be protected in Hong Kong against an intrusion by America. “Snowden obviously knew this from his training at the CIA,” Drumheller said. As the Chinese service was under no such restrictions, Snowden had gained protection at a price. While no US or British intelligence operatives would be in a position to retrieve the NSA files he had brought with him to Hong Kong, Chinese operatives, and their allies in the intelligence war, would have a free hand in Hong Kong. Yet, Snowden chose to put his physical safety in the hands of China. One reason why Snowden may not have been overly concerned about Hong Kong’s extradition treaty with the U.S. was that he had never intended to test it by staying in Hong Kong after his media events. Snowden told the editor of the Guardian from the safety of Moscow, Hong Kong was only a temporary stop over. He added in the interview that allowing himself to become part of an extradition proceeding in the Hong Kong court was not part of his plan. If so, the Hong Kong lawyers, who believed they had been retained pro bono to battle against extradition, were part of a charade. Hong Kong merely was a protected stopover. The stopover may have provided him with a further advantage. If he had gone directly to his next destination, Moscow, and he provided the same journalists with the same documents at a press conference in Moscow, his status as a whistle-blower might have been viewed with less sympathy in the media. Even the Guardian, for example, might have been reluctant to publish a Moscow-based story revealing British and American communications intelligence secrets, HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020365

52 period is Mavanee Anderson, a young and attractive summer intern at the US Mission from May to August 2007. She described befriending Snowden, who, according to her, said that he was in the CIA and also demonstrated to her his martial arts skills. She later recalled in interviews that he was “a bit” prone to brooding and voiced growing dissatisfaction with the CIA. During his time in Geneva, he received no promotions or commendations for his work. In December 2008, he received an unfavorable evaluation from his superior and a “derog,” the CIA’s shorthand for a derogatory comment. He was also threatened with a punitive investigation unless he agreed to quietly resign from the CIA. “It was not a stellar career,” Tyler Drumheller, former CIA station chief told me in 2014. The job in Geneva did have its benefits, however. It provided him a generous housing and travel allowance. In many ways, it was the “cushy government job” he had said he was seeking in his Internet posts. He rented a four room apartment and had his girlfriend Lindsay Mills, now 21, join him there. According to his posts on the Ars Technica web site, he took full advantage of his compensation to live the high life. He gambled on financial developments in the option markets, losing and making substantial sums of money. He also bought a BMW sports car. While these BMW had a speed control to keep the car within the speed limit, he wrote that he illicitly disabled it so he could exceed this legal limit. He described in his posts other pursuits, including racing motorcycles it Italy and traveling around Germany with an Estonian rock star (who he did not further identify.) He also continued his fantasy life in Internet gaming. The gaming alias he chose was “Wolfking Awesomefox.” He even indulged in a fantasy gun sport called Airsoft, a variation of paint ball, in which participants used realistic looking pistols to splatter each other with paint. His good fortune came to an abrupt end in 2008. He

“hos- tile territory,” according to the former CIA officer Tyler Drumheller. Snowden apparently knew the limits of CIA operations in Hong Kong, which provided him with an envelope of protection. He told Greenwald that he was counting on the Chinese presence in Hong Kong to deter the CIA from intruding on their meetings. When he flew to Hong Kong in May 2013, he took with him NSA secrets, which he knew would be of great interest to China. | | Epst_9780451494566_2p _all_riindd 239 © 9/30/16 axsaw | | HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019727

|| ® || Secret Agent | 27 later say that the NSA experts who examined the documents that he had stolen were “totally incapable.” In any case, in February 2009, Snowden not only had a career- damaging “derog” in his file but faced an internal investigation of his suspicious computer activities. According to Drumheller, such an internal investigation would not be undertaken lightly or because of an “e-mail spat.” He said that such an investigation was “a big deal” involving the CIA Office of Security in Washington and possibly the FBI. It would also result in the temporary suspension of Snowden’s security clearance. This left Snowden with little real choice. If he wanted to avoid that investigation, he had to resign from the CIA, which he did in February 2009. That was the end of the security investigation. He was clearly bitter, posting on Ars Technica on January 10, 2009, “Obama just appointed a fucking POLITICIAN to run the CIA!” (He was referring to Leon Panetta, President Clinton’s former chief of staff.) Snowden attributed the origins of his antipathy to U.S. intelligence to his 2007-9 experiences in the CIA. He later told © Vanity Fair that the 2009 incident in the CIA convinced him that ® working “through the system would lead only to reprisals.” Snowden, if not yet a ticking time bomb, was certainly a disgrun- tled intelligence worker before he ever got to the NSA. | | Epst_9780451494566_2p _all_ri.zindd 27 © 9/29/16 5:51PM | | HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019515
