- NSA leaker Snowden on flight to ‘third country’ via Moscow
US whistleblower Edward Snowden is en route to Moscow from Hong Kong on an Aeroflot flight, Hong Kong authorities have confirmed. The US filed an extradition order for Snowden alleging espionage, theft and conversion of government property.
A spokesperson from the Hong Kong government confirmed that Edward Snowden had "legally and voluntarily" left the country.
“Mr. Edward Snowden left Hong Kong today (June 23) on his own accord for a third country through a lawful and normal channel,” said the Hong Kong government in a press release. The statement also said the documents for Snowden’s extradition submitted by Washington “did not fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law.”
“As the HKSAR Government has yet to have sufficient information to process the request for a provisional warrant of arrest, there is no legal basis to restrict Mr. Snowden from leaving Hong Kong.”
The only Aeroflot flight that arrives from Hong Kong into Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport today is at 17:05 local time (13:05 GMT).
Moscow will not be Snowden’s final destination, he could potentially fly on to Ecuador or Iceland where he has allegedly applied for asylum. A diplomatic source told the Russian news agency Itar-Tass that no request for asylum in Russia had been received from the former CIA employee.

Hong Kong says NSA leaker Edward Snowden has left for a "third country"....
ReplyDeleteEdward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed secrets about the federal government’s surveillance programs, has reportedly has left for a "third country."
The South China Morning Post reported Sunday that Edward Snowden was on a plane for Moscow, but that Russia was not his final destination. Snowden has talked of seeking asylum in Iceland.
Hong Kong said in a statement that it allowed Snowden to leave despite an extradition request from the U.S. because documents provided by the U.S. government did not "fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law."
It said there was no legal basis to stop Snowden from leaving.
Fox News confirmed Saturday that the U.S. was talking with Hong Kong officials about seeking extradition for Snowden.
“Our law enforcement officials are in conversation ... with the Hong Kong authorities at this point," said Tom Donilon, the outgoing White House National Security Adviser.
The talks were reported first by CBS News. Officials there have said nothing publicly about their intentions, following the U.S. announcing Friday that it had officially filed a criminal complaint against the 26-year-old Snowden.
“If Hong Kong doesn’t act soon, it will complicate our bilateral relations and raise questions about Hong Kong’s commitment to the rule of law,” a senior administration official told Fox News late Saturday.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Saturday the U.S. contacting Hong Kong authorities is based on the complaint filed June 14 and in accordance with the countries’ Agreement for the Surrender of Fugitive Offenders.
Based on Snowden’s information, The Guardian and The Washington Post earlier this month published blockbuster stories about the federal government’s far-reaching efforts to gather data on phone calls, emails and other electronic communications to thwart terrorism...........http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/06/23/obama-administration-confirms-talking-to-hong-kong-about-snowden/

Datagate, stampa Hong Kong:Snowden in volo per Mosca......
ReplyDeletePutin: non conosciamo i suoi piani
La notizia divulgata dalla stampa di Hong Kong. Gli Stati Uniti avevano chiesto alle autorità cinesi di trattenerlo.....
PECHINO -
Edward Snowden, la talpa del Datagate, è in volo per Mosca, secondo i media di Hong Kong. La sua destinazione finale sarebbe Ecuador o Islanda. Gli Stati Uniti avevano chiesto alle autorità di trattenerlo.
Il Cremlino è all'oscuro dei piani di Edward Snwoden. Lo ha detto il portavoce del presidente russo Vladimir Putin precisando che Mosca non sa nulla di dove sia la talpa del Datagate.
Ieri gli stati Uniti hanno chiesto alle autorità di Hong Kong di trattenerlo con un arresto provvisorio, in un primo passo di quello che si prevede essere un lungo processo di estradizione per cercare di trasferire Snowden negli Stati Uniti. Snowden sarebbe partito col volo dell'Aeroflot SU 213. Secondo South China Morning Post, la sua destinazione finale sarebbe l'Ecuador o l'Islanda. La talpa del Datagate era arrivato nell' ex colonia britannica il 20 maggio.
Snowden accusa nuovamente gli Usa. In un intervento sul quotidiano South China Morning Post afferma: il governo americano pirata le società telefoniche cinesi per raccogliere milioni di messaggi sms. Snowden con le sue denunce incassa la solidarietà di Julian Assange, il fondatore di Wikileaks, che invita i «paesi coraggiosi» a offrire «asilo» alla talpa del datagate.
Lo spionaggio in rete scuote anche l'Europa: se le accuse ai servizi segreti inglesi sullo spionaggio informatico tramite cavi ottici fossero vere sarebbe una «catastrofe», un «incubo stile Hollywood», afferma il ministro della giustizia tedesco, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberg, sottolineando che le istituzioni europee «devono far luce immediatamente» sulla questione.

US Spy Leaker Snowden En Route from Hong Kong to Moscow – Report....
ReplyDeleteMOSCOW, June 23 (RIA Novosti)
- Former US intelligence technician Edward Snowden is en route from Hong Kong to Moscow heading to a third destination, the French news agency AFP reported on Sunday, referring to the South China Morning Post.
“US whistleblower Edward Snowden has left Hong Kong and is on a commercial flight to Russia, but Moscow will not be his final destination,” the South China Morning Post said.
It has been previously reported that Snowden could seek political asylum in Iceland or Ecuador.
According to the newspaper, Snowden boarded Aeroflot Flight SU213, which is scheduled to land at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport at 5.15 pm local time (1.15 GMT).
Snowden, 29, who worked for US defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, hit the media spotlight in early June after he leaked to press information about an extensive surveillance program by the US government, which allegedly monitored phone and electronic conversations of millions of Americans.

Эдвард Сноуден вылетел в Москву....
ReplyDeleteГОНКОНГ, 23 июня. /Корр. ИТАР-ТАСС Александр Зюзин/.
Бывший агент ЦРУ Эдвард Сноуден, экстрадиции которого добиваются США, вылетел сегодня из Гонконга в Москву рейсом "Аэрофлота". Об этом сообщила газета "Сауд Чайна морнинг пост".
По ее данным, российская столица не является конечным пунктом назначения Сноудена, предполагается, что транзитом он проследует в Исландию или Эквадор. Ранее об убежище для Сноудена в Исландии просила организация "Викиликс".
Прибытие экс-агента ЦРУ в аэропорт "Шереметьево" ожидается в 17.00 мск.
В Москве пока не подтверждают информацию о вылете. "Пока у нас нет официальной информации по этому поводу", - сообщил дипломатический источник.
Ранее пресс-секретарь президента РФ Дмитрий Песков заявил, что Россия готова рассмотреть обращение Сноудена о предоставлении политубежища, если оно поступит. Министр иностранных дел Сергей Лавров позднее отметил, что формальный запрос пока не поступал, но подтвердил готовность России его рассмотреть..........http://www.itar-tass.com/c1/782027.html

Ο Έντουαρντ Σνόουντεν, ο πρώην σύμβουλος της Εθνικής Υπηρεσίας Ασφαλείας (NSA), αποχώρησε αεροπορικώς από το Χονγκ Κονγκ -όπου είχε διαφύγει- με πρώτο προορισμό τη Μόσχα.
Ωστόσο, σύμφωνα με όσα μεταδίδουν τα ξένα μέσα ενημέρωσης, η Ρωσία δεν είναι ο τελικός προορισμός του 29χρονου που προκάλεσε σάλο με τις αποκαλύψεις του για το πρόγραμμα παρακολουθήσεων PRISM.
Η αποχώρηση Σνόουντεν έρχεται λίγες μόνο ώρες μετά τις δηλώσεις του συμβούλου εθνικής ασφαλείας του Λευκού Οίκου, Τομ Ντόνιλον, ο οποίος ζήτησε από τις αρχές του Χονγκ Κονγκ την έκδοση του 'Εντουαρντ.
Μάλιστα, ο Ντόνιλον δήλωσε χθες πώς, «εάν το Χονγκ Κονγκ δεν ενεργήσει σύντομα, θα περιπλέξει τις διμερείς μας σχέσεις και θα εγείρει ερωτήματα για την προσήλωσή του στο κράτος δικαίου».

Selon le journal, Edward Snowden, arrivé à Hong Kong le 20 mai en provenance de Hawaï, a embarqué à 10H55 pour le vol SU 213. Il devait atterrir au terme de 10 heures de vol à 17H15 (15H15 en France) à l'aéroport Sheremetyevo de Moscou mais la capitale russe ne serait qu'une étape, a précisé le SCMP, citant l'Islande ou l'Equateur comme destination finale. La présidence russe a affirmé ignorer quels étaient les plans d'Edward Snowden.
Le gouvernement de Hong Kong a confirmé l'information. "Aujourd'hui, Snowden a quitté Hong Kong volontairement pour un pays tiers de façon légale et normale", affirme un porte-parole. Les autorités du territoire n'ont "pas obtenu d'informations pertinentes" justifiant l'arrestation de l'Américain comme le demandait les Etats-Unis.

There is speculation that he might fly on to another country.
Hong Kong said Washington had failed to meet the requirements for extradition.
Mr Snowden, an intelligence contractor, fled to Hong Kong in May after revealing details of internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
The Aeroflot Airbus, flight SU213, landed in Moscow at 17:10 local time (13:10 GMT).
The Russia 24 TV channel has said Mr Snowden does not have a Russian visa, so will stay in the airport overnight before flying to Cuba on Monday.

Πυρά του Αμερικανού Γερουσιαστή Chuck Schumer προς τον πρόεδρο της Ρωσίας Vladimir Putin επειδή επέτρεψε στον Edward Snowden να προσγειωθεί στη Ρωσία.
Ο Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) καταφέρθηκε εναντίον του Ρώσου προέδρου λέγοντας ότι «έβαλε το χέρι στο μάτι της Αμερικής επιτρέποντας στον Edward Snowden να προσγειωθεί στη Μόσχα».
Ο Αμερικανός γερουσιαστής κατηγόρησε για αυτουργία στην διαφυγή του ανθρώπου που κατηγορείται ότι έβγαλε στη φόρα πρόγραμμα παρακολούθησης των ΗΠΑ μέσω των social media.
«Oι σύμμαχοι συνήθως βοηθούν ο ένας τον άλλο όμως ο κ. Πουτίν δείχνει πως συνήθως βάζει το χέρι στο μάτι των ΗΠΑ είτε πρόκειται για τη Συρία, είτε για το Ιράν, είτε για τον Snowden τώρα», ανέφερε στο CNN ο Chuck Schumer.
Σύμφωνα με τον κ. Schumer η Ρωσία πρέπει να είχε γνώση για το σχέδιο διαφυγής του Snowden και να το αποδέχτηκε.

“Putin always seems almost eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States - whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden,” Mr Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union”, adding that China may have had a role as well.

Οι ανταποκριτές της «Φωνής της Ρωσίας» επίσης πρόσεξαν ένα αυτοκίνητο BMW της πρεσβείας του Ισημερινού. Ίσως με αυτό το αυτοκίνητο να έφυγε ο Σνόουντεν.
Με τη σειρά του, μια πηγή στις υπηρεσίες του Σερεμέτιεβο ανέφερε ότι ο Σνόουντεν είναι ένας επιβάτης διαμετακόμισης, ο οποίος περιμένει την πτήση για την Κούβα στο χώρο του αεροπορικού συγκροτήματος. «Έχει φτάσει, όμως δεν μπορεί να βγει από τον αερολιμένα, διότι δεν έχει ρωσική βίζα. Έχει νοικιάσει ένα δωμάτιο-κάψουλα στο τερματικό Ε», επεξήγησε η πηγή.
Την ίδια στιγμή μόνο οι 3 από τους περισσότερους από 30 επιβάτες της πτήσης της Αεροφλότ που ερωτήθηκαν από τους δημοσιογράφους, και με την οποία ο Σνόουντεν υποτίθεται ότι πέταξε από το Χονγκ Κονγκ, ανέφεραν ότι τον είδαν στο αεροσκάφος, αναγνωρίζοντας τον πρώην πράκτορα της CIA στη φωτογραφία. Επιπλέον, κανένας από τους εκπροσώπους των ΜΜΕ που περίμενε αυτή την πτήση δεν είδε τον Σνόουντεν.

In a major embarrassment for US President Barack Obama, an aircraft thought to have carried Snowden landed in Moscow on Sunday, and the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said he was "bound for the Republic of Ecuador via a safe route for the purposes of asylum."
Earlier, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino, visiting Vietnam, tweeted: "The Government of Ecuador has received an asylum request from Edward J. #Snowden."
The United States continued efforts to prevent Snowden from gaining asylum. It warned Western Hemisphere nations that Snowden "should not be allowed to proceed in any further international travel, other than is necessary to return him to the United States," a State Department official said.

US accusations over Snowden unacceptable – Lavrov....
ReplyDeleteWashington’s allegations over US fugitive Edward Snowden are ‘unacceptable’ as he never crossed the Russian border, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. As a consequence, any attempt to accuse or threaten Moscow by the US is unfounded.
“Russia has nothing to do with Snowden's movements, he chose his route himself and didn't cross the Russian border,” said Lavrov, responding to a question by RT’s correspondent at a press conference with the Algerian foreign minister.
According the Reuters sources at Sheremetevo airport, Snowden arrived on Sunday with a valid ticket to Havana on Monday which he did not use. He is reportedly not able to cross the Russian border because he is not in possession of a valid visa.
Lavrov’s statements follow strong US rhetoric threatening consequences if Moscow does not comply with the US extradition order against Snowden under the espionage act.

‘Retired US general leaked details of Stuxnet virus’.....
ReplyDeleteProbe targets James ‘Hoss’ Cartwright, said to have been a key player in the cyber campaign against Iran...
WASHINGTON (AP) — A retired US general who served in the Pentagon’s upper echelon is under investigation for allegedly leaking classified information about a covert cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to media reports.
Retired Marine Gen. James “Hoss” Cartwright, a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been told he is a target of the probe, NBC News and The Washington Post reported Thursday. A “target” is someone a prosecutor or grand jury has substantial evidence linking to a crime and who is likely to be charged.
The Justice Department referred questions to the US attorney’s office in Baltimore, where a spokeswoman, Marcia Murphy, declined to comment.
The investigation of the leak about the Iran cyberattack is one of a number of national security leak investigations that have been started by the Obama administration, including ones involving The Associated Press and Fox News.
In June 2012, The New York Times reported that Cartwright was a crucial player in the cyber operation called Olympic Games, started under President George W. Bush.
Bush reportedly advised President Barack Obama to preserve Olympic Games.
According to the Times, Obama ordered the cyberattacks sped up, and in 2010 an attack using a computer virus called Stuxnet temporarily disabled 1,000 centrifuges that the Iranians were using to enrich uranium.
Congressional leaders demanded a criminal probe into who leaked the information, and Obama said he had zero tolerance for such leaks. Republicans said senior administration officials had leaked the details to bolster the president’s national security credentials during the 2012 campaign........http://www.timesofisrael.com/retired-us-general-leaked-details-of-stuxnet-virus/

Snowden: négociations entre l'Equateur et la Russie (ministre)...
ReplyDeleteLe ministre équatorien des Affaires étrangères Ricardo Patino a annoncé vendredi que des négociations étaient en cours avec la Russie autour du sort d'Edward Snowden, l'ex-employé de la CIA Edward accusé d'espionnage par les Etats-Unis, qui se trouve actuellement sur le territoire russe.
"Il y a eu des négociations ces derniers jours avec les autorités russes, a déclaré M. Patino lors d'une conférence de presse à Quito suite à un déplacement en Asie.
Selon le ministre, cité par les médias sud-américains, ces pourparlers n'ont "pas encore" débouché sur des ententes concrètes.
Edward Snowden a divulgué des informations confidentielles sur les opérations de surveillance électronique effectuées par les Etats-Unis à travers le monde. Dimanche dernier, il est arrivé à Moscou par un vol d'Aeroflot en provenance de Hong-Kong. Dans la capitale russe, il a demandé l'asile politique à l'Equateur.
Selon les médias russes, M.Snowden était absent de deux vols en partance pour Cuba et se trouverait actuellement dans la zone de transit de l'aéroport moscovite Cheremetievo.
Auparavant, le fondateur du site WikiLeaks Julian Assange, réfugié depuis un an à l'ambassade équatorienne à Londres, a affirmé que M.Snowden avait obtenu de la part du gouvernement équatorien des papiers de passage avant son départ de Hong Kong dimanche. Le ministre équatorien des Relations extérieures par intérim Galo Galarza a ensuite démenti ces informations.

Biden asks Ecuador to refuse Snowden asylum....
ReplyDeleteUS vice-president relates "cordial request" not to shelter NSA whistleblower, Ecuadorean president says.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has said the United States vice-president Joe Biden asked him not to allow whistleblower Edward Snowden asylum in a "cordial" telephone conversation.
"He communicated a very courteous request from the United States that we reject the asylum request," Correa said during his weekly television broadcast, praising Biden's good manners in contrast to the "brats" of Congress who had threatened to cut trade benefits over the Snowden issue.
Biden initiated the phone call, Correa said, and added that he promised to respect Washington's opinion in evaluating the request.
"When he [Snowden] arrives on Ecuadorean soil, if he arrives ... of course the first opinions we will seek are those of the United States," Correa said.
It is the first high-level discussion between Ecuador and the US since Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor, leaked how the spying programme Prism trawled the details of millions of private conversations a day.
Snowden has since applied for asylum in Ecuador.
US should explain itself
The phone call came hours after Ecuador's foreign minister, Ricardo Patino, called on the US to tell the world why it was spying on so many people.
“The United States should be giving a clear and thorough explanation to the citizens of the world regarding this issue,” Patino said.
“Instead the entire world is focused on what happens to Edward Snowden and everyone is focused on whether or not the so-called fugitive is captured and that's not the problem."
The US has charged Snowden with espionage for leaking secret information.
The whistleblower, currently said to be in transit at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, is being assisted by the anti-secrecy organisation WikiLeaks to secure asylum in Ecuador.
Ecuador, whose embassy in London has given WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange asylum as he fights extradition to Sweden where he is wanted on sex assault charges, said earlier this week it was still “analysing” the application.
Snowden has not been seen since he arrived in Moscow from Hong Kong on Sunday, but Russian officials said he is still in transit.

El presidente de Ecuador, Rafael Correa, ha revelado este sábado que el vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, Joseph Biden, le pidió telefónicamente que rechazara la solicitud de asilo que formuló al país andino el ex agente de la CIA Edward Snowden.
Correa ha confirmado que en tono sumamente amable y cordial habló con Biden sobre el 'caso Snowden' "y me transmitió el pedido muy cortés de Estados Unidos, de por favor rechazar la solicitud".
El mandatario ecuatoriano ha dicho que le respondió que aún no se ha iniciado el trámite del pedido, "porque el señor Snowden no se encuentra en territorio ecuatoriano y que cuando llegue -si es que llega y se tenga que tramitar esa solicitud- por supuesto, los primeros en preguntarles su opinión serán los Estados Unidos".
Correa ha reconocido que explicó a Biden que el caso ha provocado una situación que no fue buscada por Ecuador y le pidió que "no la tome como que somos antiestadounidenses, que es lo que trata de posicionar cierta prensa mala fe".
En este sentido, Correa ha afirmado que su país es víctima de un ataque del "poder mediático corrompido" por estudiar la solicitud de asilo del ex agente de la CIA Edward Snowden, acusado de espionaje por EEUU por filtrar programas de escucha del Gobierno.
"¡Qué ataque mediático estamos recibiendo a nivel mundial. Impresionante!", ha dicho el mandatario al referirse a informaciones de medios de comunicación nacionales y extranjeros sobre el 'caso Snowden'.
'Ahora los espías somos nosotros'
Correa ha apostillado en su programa de los sábados por radio y televisión que frente ese "arma más letal creada por la humanidad: el poder mediático corrompido", está "la integridad, la verdad, la coherencia. Gracias a Dios esto es lo que sobra en esta revolución" ecuatoriana.
Según él, ese "poder mediático corrompido" reacciona, sobre todo, contra "todo el que ose desafiar al sistema" y por ello, para esos medios, ahora "los espías somos nosotros".
"¡Qué arte que tienen (esos medios) para desviar la atención; ya el problema no es el espionaje masivo de los Estados Unidos hacia sus ciudadanos, el espionaje masivo a las demás naciones atentando contra la soberanía, y en el caso de los ciudadanos contra los derechos humanos, ahora el problema es Snowden y los países que han recibido una solicitud de asilo!", ha insistido.

Correa said he vowed to respect Washington's opinion in evaluating the request. The Andean nation says it cannot begin processing Snowden's request unless he reaches Ecuador or one of its embassies.
Snowden, who is wanted by the United States for leaking details about US communications surveillance programs, is believed to still be in the Moscow international airport after leaving Hong Kong.
"He communicated a very courteous request from the United States that we reject the (asylum) request," Correa said during his weekly television broadcast, praising Biden's good manners in contrast to "brats" in Congress who had threatened to cut trade benefits over the Snowden issue.

Secret documents show NSA spying on EU offices....
ReplyDeleteBERLIN, June 29 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. National Security Agency ( NSA) not only monitors the communication of European citizens, but also has an eavesdropping program targeting the European Union (EU) offices, German magazine Der Spiegel reported Saturday.
The magazine cited confidential documents it was partly able to obtain from U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden. The former CIA agent fled to Hong Kong last month and revealed a NSA-operated classified surveillance project code-named PRISM, which can trace worldwide e-mails and phone calls.
A document dated September 2010 and classified as "strictly confidential" showed how the NSA spied the EU's diplomatic mission in Washington, it said.
Eavesdropping bugs were installed in the EU buildings and the internal computer network was infiltrated, through which the American intelligence can get access to EU meetings, e-mails and internal documents, it added.
The EU representation at the United Nations in New York was also under similar surveillance, the magazine said.
In addition, the U.S. intelligence also keeps regular eavesdropping and monitoring of the Justus Lipsius building, the headquarters of the Council of the European Union, it said.
The classified phone and internet surveillance program, disclosed by The Guardian and The Washington Post, has sparked an outcry in Europe over concerns about intrusion into the privacy of individuals.
The EU has warned the Obama Administration of "grave adverse consequences" to the rights of the European citizens from the spy scheme and demanded "swift and concrete" answers.
The U.S. intelligence scandal has also stirred massive controversies in the country about the balance between privacy and national security.

Όπως μεταδίδει η «New Europe», ο Martin Schulz δήλωσε έντονα ενοχλημένος: «Ανησυχώ βαθύτατα και είμαι σοκαρισμένος περί των ισχυρισμών για κατασκοπεία των γραφείων της Ε.Ε. από τις αμερικανικές αρχές. Εάν οι καταγγελίες αποδειχθούν αληθείς, θα αποτελούσε ένα εξαιρετικά σοβαρό θέμα, που θα είχε σοβαρές επιπτώσεις στις σχέσεις ΕΕ-ΗΠΑ».

Προηγήθηκε η αποκάλυψη του Spiegel, που αναφέρθηκε σε απόρρητα έγγραφα, τα οποία έχει στην κατοχή του ο καταζητούμενος από τους αμερικανούς Έντουαρντ Σνόουντεν.
Από τα έγγραφα αυτά, όπως αναφέρει το περιοδικό, προκύπτει ότι οι πράκτορες της υπηρεσίας είχαν υπό συστηματική παρακολούθηση τις επικοινωνίες της διπλωματικής αποστολής της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης στην Ουάσινγκτον.

ReplyDeleteUS combs through half a billion of German phone calls, emails and text messages on a monthly basis and has classified its European ally on the same target level as China, a German news magazine revealed.
The NSA document leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden and published by Der Spiegel classified Germany as a “third-class” partner, on the same level as China, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, meaning that the US surveillance in Germany was stronger than in any other EU country.
"We can attack the signals of most foreign third-class partners, and we do it too," the document states.
It revealed that NSA monitors phone calls, text messages, emails and internet chat contributions and has saved the metadata (connections and not the content) at its headquarters.
NSA snooped through 20-60 million German phone connections and 10 million internet data sets a day, Der Spiegel claims.
In comparison, US tapped around 2 million connection data a day in France.

ReplyDeleteThe Russian Federal Migration service (FMS) has refuted media reports which claim that NSA leaker Edward Snowden applied for political asylum in Russia.
The New York Times, citing “a Russian immigration source close to the matter," reported on Monday that former CIA employee Snowden asked Moscow for political asylum.
The unnamed source told the paper that a WikiLeaks activist traveling with Snowden handed his application to a Russian consulate in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.
Information in the foreign media which states that Snowden asked for asylum “is not true,” Zalina Kornilova, head of FMS press service, told RT.
However, Kim Shevchenko, a consul at the Sheremetyevo airport, says that Snowden did apply for asylum, Interfax reported.
According to the official, Sara Harrison [WikiLeaks activist] - who introduced herself as Snowden’s lawyer - handed him the NSA leaker’s application on Sunday evening. The diplomat said he took the file, contacted the Foreign Ministry, and gave the document to the Ministry’s courier.
This information has not been verified to RT by sources in the Russian Foreign Ministry. Consulate employees are not entitled to make any comments on behalf of the ministry.
Earlier on Monday, Putin said that Snowden could only stay in Russia if he “stops his work aimed at damaging our American partners.” The president also observed that the whistleblower does not seem intent on putting an end to the leaks.

Snowden withdraws application for political asylum in Russia....
ReplyDeleteMOSCOW, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden aborted his intention to ask for political asylum in Russia, Kremlin said Tuesday.
"He withdrew his application to stay in Russia," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
On Monday, Snowden, acting via his solicitor, handed a refugee application to the Russian authorities in a Moscow airport.
He has been in the transit area of the Sheremetyevo airport for eight days after arriving here from Hong Kong.
Peskov noted that Russia would not extradite the 29-year-old whistleblower to the United States because he could face capital punishment there.
According to Peskov, Snowden asked for political asylum in 15 countries.
The Kremlin spokesman stressed that Russia could approve Snowden's application only on condition that the U.S. citizen stops his anti-U.S. activity.
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow would not hand over Snowden, former U.S. National Security Agency contractor, to the United States.

Esta acción, según La Paz, respondería a informaciones infundadas sobre la supuesta presencia del estadounidense Edward Snowden en la aeronave boliviana.
El consejo de ministros, reunido de urgencia en La Paz, ha expresado su rechazo a la “prepotencia imperial” y ha convocado a los países latinoamericanos a reunirse de urgencia para repudiar las expresiones de abuso del “colonialismo imperial decimonónico” y para asumir una posición clara y contundente contra las expresiones totalitarias. ......http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2013/07/03/actualidad/1372811536_087887.html

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Presidents Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua and Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela said Friday they were willing to grant asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
Snowden has asked for asylum in numerous countries, including Nicaragua and Venezuela.
“As head of state, the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young American Edward Snowden so that he can live (without) … persecution from the empire,” Maduro said, referring to the United States. He made the offer during a speech marking the anniversary of Venezuela’s independence. It was not immediately clear if there were any conditions to Venezuela’s offer.
In Nicaragua, Ortega said he was willing to make the same offer “if circumstances allow it.” Ortega didn’t say what the right circumstances would be when he spoke during a speech in Managua.
He said the Nicaraguan embassy in Moscow received Snowden’s application for asylum and that it is studying the request.
“We have the sovereign right to help a person who felt remorse after finding out how the United States was using technology to spy on the whole world, and especially its European allies,” Ortega said......http://www.timesofisrael.com/venezuela-nicaragua-offer-asylum-to-edward-snowden/

Morales dará asilo a Snowden si se lo pide en protesta contra Europa....El presidente boliviano exige disculpas a varios países europeos, entre ellos España, por la retención de su avión en Viena.....
DeleteBolivia concederá asilo al estadounidense Edward Snowden si lo solicita formalmente, ha anunciado el presidente Evo Morales durante su visita al pueblo de Chipaya, en el corazón del altiplano boliviano y a 4.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. La decisión es un gesto de protesta tras el incidente diplomático en el que se vio envuelto el pasado martes cuando regresaba al país procedente de Rusia, cuando varios países europeos le negaron el uso de su espacio aéreo por sospechas de que a bordo iba el filtrador del espionaje masivo de EE UU.
“Quiero decirles a los europeos y a los norteamericanos que, como justa protesta, ahora vamos a dar asilo si así nos pide ese norteamericano perseguido por sus compatriotas”, ha dicho en el discurso de entrega de un coliseo a las comunidades indígenas chipayas, acto en el que estaba acompañado por el presidente del Banco Mundial, Jim Yong King, que visita el país.....http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2013/07/06/actualidad/1373124475_424516.html

ReplyDeleteLe président de Russie assure que l’ex-consultant du renseignement américain quittera le pays dès qu’il le pourra.
Par AFP
Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a accusé lundi les Etats-Unis d’avoir «coincé» Edward Snowden en Russie tout en assurant que l’ex-consultant du renseignement américain quitterait le pays dés qu’il le pourrait. «Il est arrivé sur notre territoire sans invitation, il n’avait pas l’intention de venir chez nous, il était en transit vers d’autres pays», a déclaré le président sur des images diffusées par la télévision russe. «Quand sa présence dans l’avion a été révélée, nos partenaires américains ont de facto bloqué la suite de son voyage», a-t-il ajouté. «Ils ont intimidé tous les autres pays, personne ne veut plus l’accueillir, ils (les Américains) l’ont de facto coincé sur notre territoire», a poursuivi Vladimir Poutine. «Ils nous ont fait un beau cadeau de Noël», a-t-il plaisanté.
Le jeune fugitif américain, bloqué à l’aéroport Moscou-Cheremetievo où il est arrivé le 23 juin en provenance de Hong Kong, a fait part vendredi de son intention de demander l’asile politique à la Russie, en attendant de pouvoir se rendre en Amérique latine, où le Venezuela, la Bolivie et le Nicaragua se sont dits prêts à l’accueillir. «Dès qu’il aura la possibilité d’aller ailleurs, il le fera sans aucun doute», a déclaré le président russe.....http://www.liberation.fr/monde/2013/07/15/poutine-accuse-les-etats-unis-d-avoir-coince-snowden-chez-lui_918436?xtor=rss-450

Putin accuses US of 'trapping' Snowden in Russia ...
ReplyDeleteRussian President Vladimir Putin on Monday accused the United States of trapping US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden in Moscow, saying he would leave Russia as soon as possible.
"As soon as there's the chance to move somewhere he will certainly do this," Putin said in his first public remarks since Snowden summoned several rights activists and lawyers for a dramatic meeting Friday at state-controlled Sheremetyevo airport.
Putin accused Washington of preventing Snowden from leaving Russia after the fugitive ex-intelligence analyst arrived from Hong Kong on June 23.
"He arrived on our territory uninvited, he did not fly to us, he was flying in transit to other countries," Putin said in televised remarks.
"But as soon as he was in the air, it became known, and our American partners essentially blocked off his further flight.".....http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/International/2013/Jul-15/223771-putin-accuses-us-of-trapping-snowden-in-russia.ashx#ixzz2Z8iJOIuN

Russian politicians rebuke US senator’s call to boycott Sochi Olympics...
ReplyDeleteSeveral Russian MPs and members of the country’s National Olympic Committee have harshly criticized the suggestion to boycott the winter games in Sochi voiced by US Senator Lindsey Graham.
The Republican Senator from South Carolina told The Hill newspaper that President Barack Obama should consider boycotting the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi if Russian authorities granted asylum to former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, a move Graham described as “outrageous”, “a breach of the rule of law” and “a slap in the face to the United States”.
Soon after the interview was published, the Russian Federal Migration Service reported on Wednesday that it had received Snowden’s request for temporary asylum and would now consider it for up to three months. But even with the whistleblower’s fate yet undecided, several Russian officials immediately reacted at the Senator’s call for boycott, saying that it was a throwback to the Cold War and absurd as it is not allowed by the rules of the Olympics.
The head of the State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee, Aleksey Pushkov, said that Senator Graham’s statement was “pulling us back to the distant past, the time of mutual boycotts when our two states were looking at each other through nuclear sights”. "I am sure that these times are over and difficult periods in relations must not bring the nations to the worst times of the Cold War,” the parliamentarian added. ....http://rt.com/politics/olympics-sochi-boycott-outrage-210/

Palestine welcomes EU's move to cut funds to Israeli settlements in occupied territories...
ReplyDeletePalestine has hailed EU ban on funds to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories
RAMALLAH (AA) - Palestine has welcomed the European Union's decision to cut funds to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories in the face of Israel's persistent refusal to halt settlement construction.
The move is aimed at preventing any "grants, prizes and financial instruments funded by the EU" in the West Bank and east Jerusalem territories captured by Israel in the 1967 if Israel does not guarantee that they will not stop the settlements.
Palestine's Economy Minister Jawad al-Naji told the Anadolu Agency it was "a brave step" taken by the EU, which would help Palestine's cause to set up establish their own state.
Secretary General of Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa Barghouthi said EU's decision was a significant move in EU's relations with Palestinian people and it imposed restrictions on Israeli settlement units.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised objection to the decision saying, "we will not accept any external imposition about our borders," while an Israeli official described the decision as "an earthquake".

The Washington Post: Snowden took materials on US intelligence activity against Russia, Iran, China ....
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON, October 25 (Itar-Tass) - Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden took tens of thousands of documents, including those related to intelligence gathering programmes against such countries as Russia, Iran and China, The Washington Post reported on Friday, referring to representatives of the U.S. government.
According to the newspaper, U.S. officials have notified foreign intelligence services of a number of states that Snowden took materials that shed light on their secret cooperation with the United States. If these documents are published, the newspaper writes, intelligence operations that along with the United States involve other countries could be at risk.
Snowden, U.S. officials said, took tens of thousands of documents, some of which contain sensitive material about collection programmes against adversaries such as Iran, Russia and China. Some refer to operations that in some cases involve countries not publicly allied with the United States. The process of informing officials in capital after capital about the risk of disclosure is delicate. In some cases, one part of the cooperating government may know about the collaboration while others — such as the foreign ministry — may not, the officials said. The documents, if disclosed, could compromise operations, officials said, according to the newspaper.
The office of the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper declined to comment.
This week, the Obama administration had to give explanations to the governments of a number of countries on the activities of the U.S. National Security Agency, which is engaged in electronic intelligence. According to recent publications, U.S. intelligence agencies were spying on political leaders in Europe, listening to their phone conversations and intercepting correspondence on the Internet. Information on various NSA programmes was disclosed to the American and British media by former NSA employee Edward Snowden who received temporary asylum in Russia.
