CIA rendition jet was waiting in Europe to SNATCH SNOWDEN

On the evening of 24 June 2013, as Snowden arrived in Moscow from Hong Kong intending to fly on to Cuba, an unmarked Gulfstream V business jet – tail number N977GA – took off from a quiet commercial airport 30 miles from Washington DC. Manassas Regional Airport discreetly offers its clients “the personal accommodations and amenities you can’t find at commercial airports”.

Early next morning, N977GA was detected heading east over Scotland at the unusually high altitude of 45,000 feet. It had not filed a flight plan, and was flying above the level at which air traffic control reporting is mandatory.

“The plane showed up on our system at 5:20 on 25 June,” according to our source, a member of an internet aircraft-tracking network run by enthusiasts in the UK. “We knew the reputation of this aircraft and what it had done in the past.”

Catch me a spy: Secret Snowden rendition plot revealed

Amateur plane watchers first caught a glimpse of an unmarked Gulfstream V business jet flying above Scotland at 45,000 feet on the morning of June 25, 2013. The tail number – N977GA – has been associated with previous CIA rendition flights. While the aircraft was allegedly not reporting its progress to air-traffic controllers and had not filed a flight plan, the enthusiasts were able to track the plane’s radar transponder signal using a technique called multilateration.

“The plane showed up on our system at 05:20 on 25 June,” a member of an internet aircraft-tracking network run by enthusiasts in the UK told the Register.“We knew the reputation of this aircraft and what it had done in the past.”

According to online tracking information collected by the enthusiasts, the plane never made it to Moscow, but instead landed at Copenhagen Airport, where it stayed put.

Snowden, incidentally, arrived in Moscow on the evening of June 24 from Hong Kong, where he had intended to catch a connecting flight to Cuba. His passport was voided, leaving him effectively stranded in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. In August, Russia granted him asylum for one year.

Documents confirm rendition flight used Copenhagen Airport for mission to capture Edward Snowden

The online media source Denfri.dk reports that, after gaining access to documents from the Justice Ministry, it has confirmed that in June 2013 Copenhagen Airport was used to hold an American rendition plane that was sent to capture Edward Snowden from Moscow Airport and return him to the USA.

Snowden, who shot into the international limelight after making extensive revelations about the USA’s intelligence activities at home and abroad, was confined to the airport in Russia before he was offered asylum in the country.

FLASHBACK: DONALD TRUMP CALLS FOR ‘EXECUTION’ OF EDWARD SNOWDEN

I think he’s disgusting. I think he’s scum,” Trump said. “I don’t care how old he is, how sick he is, I think he ought to be arrested. He was an FBI agent, essentially, and he was ratting on the president.”

Trump’s opposition to government transparency and those who disclose apparent wrongdoing raises serious questions on the candidate’s views toward civil liberties and constitutional rights.
