china, russia, ecuador: it would be excellent if there were anarchist safe zones outside of the world state system. but they've covered the whole world with coercion, like sherwin williams with paint: every square inch. thus there are no good options; he has to go wherever he can survive, avoid arrest, and continue to show us the awful truth. i do sort of wonder about the idea of running through moscow; it would be surprising if putin didn't seize the info, if snowden is indeed carting it around on computers, as reported. on the other hand, that would be a crazy way to try to transport or save the information. that's what the internet is for. that's why julian assange exists, etc. indeed, come to think of it, it is very unlikely that he is physically transporting the info. surely he stashed/distributed/encrypted it etc before he went public; it seems like he had this thing pretty well thought out.
