    The US government and other western governments DESPERATELY want to squelch this guy. I'm grateful that - for the time, at least - he's safe in Russia and able to speak truth to power, and about power, without being shut up.

      @cmonster6 It is actually just by "luck" he is trapped in Russia. He told this in his documentary. He was on his way to South America but got trapped in Russia. I think he should be thankful he got stuck in Russia because in South America he would definitely be hunted down like a dog.

    He was so lucky that his country revoke his passport when he was at Sheremetyevo airport. Otherwise he would be in a solitary confinement cell right now. Instead, he's in a gigantic country where he's considered pretty much a hero.
