US spy boss in NZ on secret visit
The US director of national intelligence, James Clapper, is in New Zealand for farewell talks with the Government and spy chiefs.
It had been a secret visit until Mr Key was asked at his post cabinet press conference if he knew why a Globemaster C-17 was parked at Wellington airport.
Mr Key said “Yes, because Jim Clapper’s in town.”
Mr Clapper is the chief intelligence adviser to Mr Obama and oversees the 16 agencies within the US intelligence community including the CIA and National Security Agency.
Mr Key said Mr Clapper, who has been America’s intelligence chief since 2010, was on his way to a Five Eyes meeting in Australia.
“He is retiring before President [Barack] Obama effectively steps down in 2017 so I don’t know if he’ll be back in New Zealand again.”
Sources have told TDB that the real reason Jim Clapper is in NZ is because of Cheryl Gywn’s investigation into the SIS for aiding the CIA’s kidnapping and torture programme ‘extraordinary renditions’. The accusation is that the SIS helped the CIA find ‘black sites’ or secret prisons in the Pacific for terrorists taken by the CIA from South East Asia.
That is why Labour are being brought into the discussions because
a) some of these would have occurred on Labour’s watch
b) there needs to be secret bi-partisan agreement that Cheryl Gywn’s investigation into the SIS is as minimal as possible.
Clapper is here to put pressure on Key to turn the inquiry off or bury it. That demands real questions from our mainstream media…
1: How involved were SIS in locating secret prisons in the Pacific?
2: What politicians knew about the SIS helping find these secret prisons ?
3: Were NZ agencies involved in what amounts to war crimes?
4: Did Clapper threaten the NSA software and hardware investment into the GCSB if the inquiry wasn’t stymied?
I think another question that needs answering is whether or not the SIS helped target suspects for rendition as well.
Key is lying about the reasons Clapper is really here – it’s now time for the media to do their job.
UPDATE: Talking to more sources late last night, the focus will also be on how the SIS helped target individuals in Afghanistan for rendition and torture.
Shit, the last time is dude paid us a secret visit John Key sacked the head of the GCSB and put his old school buddy into the top spot! Then he gave them even more power to spy on us.
What is going be the orders Key is given this time?
Hope we are not due a false flag to focus our attention.
Watch this if you want the low down on Clappers last “visit”.

By sheer coincidence, I was at the “Spruce Goose”
cafe yesterday and saw the huge, grey USAF aircraft sitting on the tarmac looming over the RNZAF hangar. I was wondering who or what was being ferried by that hulking monstrosity.
By another coincidence, an aircraft bearing Iranian livery was sitting by the public terminal – no doubt Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif’s transport.
If I’d had a camera on me, it would’ve made an interesting juxtaposition.
Here you go Frank:

That’s the ‘beast’!
Thanks, Squirrel!
This topic should have been picked up by msm as headline news, as it involves NZ’s spy/security activities on behalf of a foreign country.
So why isn’t msm all over this? Because I’d say, media has been strictly instructed from he/they who must be obeyed, to turn a blind eye to it and dig for some fluff pieces instead to entertain the masses!
The Bachelor anyone? Or the FJK offspring?
“Sources have told TDB that the real reason Jim Clapper is in NZ”…Immediate fail right there, yessssss, TDB sources don’t wear tin foil hats and see a Key conspiricy under every rock, sheesh you guys really need to leave the politics to the grown ups!
@I’m Right -actually we do have people in the intelligence community that are not happy with what is happening. Think some have looked at history and know what can happen to spooks when their masters get caught and they get abandoned.

Latest leak shows how our governments are aggressively targeting individuals in secret, undermining them and eventually setting out to destroy them on the internet.

Sadly there are people who will believe their beloved’s excuse that this guy has simply popped in on his way to Australia for a quick hi and a cuppa.
BruceTheMoose – and at the same time to admire most “beloved’s” flag.
I agree with all of the above, as well as the U.S telling the Iranians and others whose turf this is.
Hmmm . . . interesting and certainly possible. I’ve always wondered why Australia would spend so much money on its internment camps.
At this stage, the only thing we know for sure is that John Key has done nothing by lie about the GCSB and related matters . . .
Great summary, once again, thanks Blip.
I’m not sure what to think of this presumption, but in any case, a man like Clapper (does he always clap is flat hands on his head?) does not come here to simply say “goodbye, Mr Key, I am off into retirement soon”.
There will certainly be more behind this visit than that.
John Key performed his usual distraction tactic, being extremely casual about it all. When Key is casual, we have stuff to worry about, and media should start asking the really hard questions (that seem to never be asked).
Stopping over may actually mean he is here to breathe down the PM’s neck, to ensure that any further changes to the spy laws (now there was a report released days ago) will give generous consideration to the interests of the US and the NSA.
And going by the Guantanamo example, who knows, there may indeed be something to this story, that some undesired extremists may be kept in places we so far have no idea about, very close to home.
I presume in Parliament and in front of media today, the story will be expanded, re the visit that is, so to say that Clapper just dropped in for a chat and a round of golf with John Key?!
Apart from anything else, why does Jim Clapper need a bloody big plane like that?
Bigger PAX load than just Clapper and crew?
Because U.S C17’s are used to move more than just cargo or VIPs. It’s got military gas tanks which means it can go from LA to Wellington in one go, secondarily there is less/ no stop overs, so you don’t have to do security sweeps. Other more technical countermeasures fitted to C17’s.
The accusation at the beginning of the article is a serious ones; we, the public, deserve answers.
There is nothing new about the CIA operating ‘black sites’ for prisons. More such sites could be a way of ‘closing ‘ Guantanamo, perhaps? If NZ is aiding the CIA in the manner suggested, it must be made known and our assistance stopped
The following quote is from Craig Murray, writing in Information Clearing House.
“Yet again the US is simply disappearing people into secret prisons on foreign soil. Obama has in effect maintained the Bush doctrine that “enemy combatants” are neither alleged criminals nor soldiers. They do not get the rights of alleged criminals to decent treatment and a fair trial, nor do they get the Geneva Convention rights of soldiers captured during a war. They are non-persons who can simply be pitched into a black hole.
Even if they actually are terrorists, that does not leave them devoid of rights. I would also argue that to treat terrorists other than as common criminals, deserving of formal criminal process, contributes to their glorification and gives them a status they do not deserve. But formal process is essential because we know for certain that they often pick up people who are entirely innocent.”
Is he here to rig the flag thing?
When the new flag wins will the American army jump out of the cake? They might say,
“Ha ha TPPA really means another notch in America’s take over of the world our new name will be New America.”
Then we will be told how totally lucky we are to be chosen to be in the fold of the star spangled banner and the Key TPPA flag.
Key will have cheesy photos taken pumping hands with the Army ranked Yanks.
We know Key is a flea and America is a death cult, whatever is going on it’s not going to be cute that’s for sure.
We need to make sure the creepy USA doesn’t slither into NZ through the KEYhole. That would really rip my shorts.
The only reason Crapper, I mean Clapper would be here is to ensure that NZ stays in line with the ” Evil Empire’s” plans and schemes to maintain its world hegemony. They are twisting Australia’s arm to station more bombers there, to counter the “Chinese threat” to world peace. They probably want to militarise NZ as well. to make sure no economy is stronger than the USA.
Perhaps Key misunderstood when Clapper said to him “we need to organise a false flag event in NZ” and Key organised the flag referendum. Clapper is here to explain what was really required
Obama is obviously coming for a visit. The Aussies are doing a deal with Iran to return asylum seekers. John Key didn’t hesitate to say who was in town. This could be just a cover to let the CIA take over the South Pacific. Or maybe there are just some bridges to strengthen between our countries to keep us safe from the ever present threat of Islamic fundamentalists. Living here in Perth and visiting Indonesia every now and then makes me very aware of the ever present danger of Sharia law and the cancer that it spreads.
Yes your right Martin the msm should do its job and find out the facts.
Good questions. +100
Some of these comment are closer to the truth than realised.
NZ is losing its independence under Rothchilds Placeman John Key .John Key has links to transnational criminal cabal.
The Clapper plane probably has among other things the machine that rigs elections and referendums,remember last time JK “won” 2014 election a plane from America arrived just before,The new flag is a symbol of registration of NZ to Cabal interests.
Jk will allow his cabalist buddies in under the Syrian refugee situation, they will be allowed to buy foreclosed farms ,which sit on huge mineral deposits.
The sponsorship of charter schools allows huge investment and millions in land purchases.
Wake up New Zealand states that the world is owned and ruled by
The Club of Rome (POPE) The Queen and Rothchilds
John Key is embedded in all of these outfits,he is one of them .
The inner city of London where all banks are placed ,Vatican and Washington DC are private Cities in their own right ,outside of any laws.
The information in Todays WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND IS staggering and mind blowing, much more than i can write. We really need to know this information.
100% ELLE they are all vermin and should be exterminated like vermin.
