Interesting revelations
Five Eyes ran spy operation out of NZ's security bureau (yesterday)
Quote:
A former senior minister says it's fair to assume its a member of the Five Eyes that ran a spy operation out of New Zealand's security bureau, which didn't have sign off from the government of the day. Edit: LOL, sure it didn't
...the system operated from 2013 until 2020, when it was stopped by an equipment failure.

A Five Eyes partner, from 2013 you say. Obama was president from 2009 until 2017.
Barack Obama drops into No10 for surprise visit on his way through London (2 days ago)
Well that's interesting. He kinda needed to have a chat and a cup of tea. Because you know, he's not the President anymore, so of course he needs to talk to Five Eyes partners.
Then there was this from 2018:
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is coming to New Zealand
Quote:
She lasted visited in 2010 as Secretary of State, but will return as a private citizen, having left political life following her defeat in the 2016 Presidential election.
She will be coming only a few months after her former boss, Barack Obama, is expected to visit to promote a new Air New Zealand route to Chicago.

Barack Obama to visit New Zealand in March
Quote:
Former US President Barack Obama will finally go ahead with his promise to visit New Zealand on a trip in March.
The Herald on Sunday understands Obama will visit on about March 21 arranged by Air New Zealand.
The reason for the visit is unknown but there has been speculation Air NZ is about to launch a new route to the United States, likely Chicago which is Obama's home town.
Former Prime Minister Sir John Key is now on the Air NZ board and will have been instrumental in securing the high-level visit due to his relationship with Obama when the two were leaders.

Ah yes, John Key
Key releases GCSB documents
Quote:
"Claims have been made tonight that are simply wrong and that is because they are based on incomplete information."
He would not discuss XKEYSCORE, ''we don't discuss the specific programmes the GCSB may, or may not use''.

I remember that. I wonder what's so interesting these days that a former president needs to sort things out with the UK Prime Minister, and why we have revelations that some shit was going on in NZ?
I do know that there's a guy who claimed Obama was spying on him, who is not a fan of Hillary, and looks like he'll end up being the next President.
But I'm sure all of this is a coincidence.
