<Young Edward appears to be playing an extended game of chess, perfectly choreographed up to now, going through prepared moves.>

Not quite perfectly choreographed but has worked out well so far. The move from Hong Kong was not quite so well planned, but fortunately Vladimir correctly saw mileage in given him protection. It was sensible of Edward to separate himself from memory sticks and whatnots as it would be trivially simple to take them from him at some stage in his travels. Not so simple to remove them from MEGA [run by Kim Dotcom in NZ].

Kim is currently under threat of extradition to the USA for some trumped up absurd charges. NZ's common law judiciary has spat the dummy and is unlikely to arrange rendition to those crazies. The USA committed various crimes, as did the NZ authorities in their attack on him and his family.

I'm sure Kim would be happy to enable young Edward to supply information from MEGA's encrypted servers. Not that Kim would know the information is there.

Some decades ago, David Lange [the prime minister of the time] said the USA brought obscene pressure to bear on him. No doubt it was outright blackmail. J Edgar Hoover was a master of such intrigue. No doubt listening in to Angela Merkel's cellphone was more for the purpose of finding such blackmailable information than to find the Boston Bombers before they did their bombs. Which they did. Despite the NSA and FBI and CIA and Vladimir's equivalents passing on information and warning about them.

The NSA is not to keep us safe. It is to make loads of loot and profit from private information.

It seems not to occur to the apologists for such ill-bred snooping that Edward Snowden disclosing the information publicly demonstrates exactly the danger of private information being given to hordes of young men on the make who for the most part will use the information to check on their wives, girlfriends, threaten various people and do insider trading and theft of valuable information which can be passed on to their buddies in a bar. He released information for good cause. The others have not and we will never be told about their nefarious activities.
