United States Navy Lieutenant Commander Edward Lin has been accused of espionage, spying, solicitation of prostitution and adultery in a case in which the central focus is his potential revealing of secrets to Taiwan and/or China. He is currently being held in the brig in Chesapeake, Virginia until further action is taken by the US Navy. As of right now, the charges he's facing may include the death penalty - for the most serious charge of espionage. Edward Lin's situation began with a girlfriend that is either from Taiwan or Mainland China (Taiwan is mostly governed by Mainland China and is known officially as "Republic of China.") The girlfriend in question is alleged to have gained access to secret information - just one step below "top secret" - about a US Navy spy plane. It's not clear at the moment if the secrets include any schematic diagrams of the plane that could be used for replication purposes, or if they include anything about the route the plane flies, or the secrets would reveal weaknesses in the electronic backend that could be exploited. The incident with Mr. Lin and the potential spying for China comes at a time when there are questions about nationality in the United States military and public sector service. Rafael Edward Cruz, also known as Ted Cruz, is under such a microscope...to a certain extent. Having being born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban national father, then living there for five years after his birth, makes people question not only his true citizenship, but also his loyalty to the United States and his eligibility to run for United States President. Should people born in foreign nations and/or those with dual citizenship be allowed to become members of the military or public sector service? The Edward Lin case if nothing else, may simply serve as a cautionary tale and a precedent for future action upon the aforementioned question. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– If you want to support me to continue to crank out these videos, please visit my website http://www.anthonyblogan.com/contact/ and click on that donate button for me! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– You can catch me micro-blogging on a near 24/7basis on my social media platforms: http://www.twitter.com/anthonyblogan http://www.facebook.com/lcs.flyers Please take a moment and subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/aloge?sub_confirmation=1 Stay tuned to my website http://www.anthonyblogan.com for more updates as they come in! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Did an Accused Navy Spy Trade Secrets for Sex? — He says he grew up dreaming of Disneyland in his native Taiwan.
