Is British intelligence planning to rendition Snowden before or during the Winter Olympics? British embassy has lead on location and apprehension of Snowden... We have learned through our Russian sources that Britains spy-infested embassy in Moscow has taken the lead among the FIVE EYES signals intelligence allies to locate the whereabouts of National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden in Russia. In fact, the crooked British government is more keen on capturing Snowden than is the ZOG U.S.A. or the other governments of the criminal FIVE EYES partnership, which also includes Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.... Britains almost apoplectic reaction to Snowdens disclosures was recently on display when Britains top three intelligence chiefs -- John Sawers of MI-6; Andrew Parker of MI-5; and Iain Lobben of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British counterpart of NSA, accused Snowden and those who published his leaked documents of aiding Al-Qaeda. Former British Defense Secretary Liam Fox went further, accusing those who publish the leaked NSA and GCHQ secrets, including The Guardian, of being terrorists... LOL Ever since he was granted temporary political asylum by Russia after being held in transit limbo at Moscows Sheremetyevo International Airport after his flight from Hong Kong, Snowdens location in Russia has been a closely-guarded secret. Snowden is believed to have the protection of a combination of private security guards and agents of the Russian Federal Security Bureau (FSB). Last month, Snowden met with four other American national whistleblowers -- Ray McGovern, formerly of the CIA; Colleen Rowley, formerly with the FBI; former NSA official Tom Drake, and former Justice Department prosecutor Jesselyn Radack -- met with Snowden at an undisclosed location in Moscow. The four Americans traveled to Moscow to present Snowden with the Sam Adams Award for Integrity and Intelligence... After the receipt by Snowden of the award, British MI-6 case officers assigned to the British embassy in Moscow began using NSA and GCHQ contact chaining intelligence gathered from surveillance of Facebook and other social networking systems to identify Snowdens location. The contact chaining began with the Facebook, Twitter, as well as phone call metadata, information derived from the four American visitors to Moscow. In turn, their contacts in Moscow were identified, thus expanding the chain used to determine Snowdens location and daily schedule... Thanks to Snowdens disclosure of documents on contact chaining, it is now known that SID Management Directive (SMD) 424 (SIGINT Development -- Communications Metadata Analysis), signed on November 29, 2010, permits NSA and its partners, including GCHQ, to permit contact chaining, and other analysis, from and through any selector, irrespective of nationality or location, in order to follow or discover valid foreign intelligence targets..., including yours truly since 1995..., until this very day.... HK4EVER The new directive permits GCHQ and NSA to share contact chaining intelligence against foreign targets, including U.S. communicants as long as there is a foreign intelligence (FI) justification. In Snowdens case, a foreign intelligence justification was recognized.... Contact chaining using Facebook, Twitter, email address books, and other sources is then used to develop large-scale graph analysis on very large sets of communications metadata without having to check foreignness of every node or address in the graph. Such nodes and addresses would include, in Snowdens case, every person with whom he has come into contact digitally and, in turn, every node or address that those nodes or addresses have come into contact with, and so forth... Snowden was recently hired by a Russian information technology firm and it is believed that he remains in or relatively close to Moscow in order to avail himself of the citys more modern telecommunications services. As with its embassies in Berlin and other capitals, the roof of the British embassy in Moscow is rife with antennas and other eavesdropping equipment, including a dome that clearly hides a satellite communications antenna... British embassy in Moscow sports a green radome of the variety that NSA and GCHQ use to transmit and receive signals intelligence from satellites. The operation to locate Snowden is one of the highest priority operations for the embassy, even eclipsing the recent thaw in relations between the British and Russian security and intelligence services. The operation is known to involve the number one MI-6 officer at the embassy, whose diplomatic cover is director of regional security. LOL Capturing Snowden through a kidnapping, known as rendition, is more problematic for the British. However, Russian security, including FSB agents, are now devoting almost all of their attention to the Winter Olympics, which begin on February 7, 2014 in Sochi. The tactic of MI-6 may be to wait for a lapse in the security provided by FSB to Snowden to arrange for an operation to capture him and spirit him out of Russia during a time when Moscow and the rest of Russia will be playing host to tens of thousands of foreign visitors to the Olympics...
