The
good news (for Obama) is that he is not the only president of these United
States to authorize spying on our friends;
the really bad news is that he did authorize such activities and has
greatly increased this practice . . .
. and our friends in Germany, France and Brazil are furious. In fact,
no president has supervised as large a “spy operation” as is currently
the practice under the Slickmeister. And there is a big, big difference between
the motivations of Obama and his predecessors:
namely, it is Obama-policy to
control all information coming out of the White House and that cannot be done
unless he knows what others are thinking.
Problem: the task of spying on
everyone, is simply to large a task to
be anywhere close to effective - but who cares about results when you have Obama
re-writing all of Central Planning. I
mean, his plans for the Middle East look
like hell; ditto his domestic jobs
policies; ditto his environmental
regulatory agenda; ditto his demonstrative
concerns for the Middle Class; ditto his
anti-gun agenda via Fast and Furious policies;
ditto his covert concerns regarding the national media; ditto his use of the IRS in attacking
opposition political groups in this country;
ditto his implementation of
ObamaCare.
From The Telegraph, because the national media still will not be
honest in its Obama coverage: President Barack Obama was dragged into the trans-Atlantic
spying row after it was claimed he personally authorised the monitoring of
Angela Merkel’s phone three years ago. . . . . . . . The president allegedly allowed US
intelligence to listen to calls from theGerman Chancellor’s mobile phone after he was
briefed on the operation by Keith Alexander, director of the National Security
Agency (NSA), in 2010.
The latest claim,
reported in the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, followed reports in Der
Spiegel that the surveillance of Mrs Merkel’s phone began as long ago as 2002,
when she was still the opposition leader, three years before being elected
Chancellor. That monitoring only ended in the weeks before Mr Obama visited
Berlin in June this year, the magazine added.
Citing leaked US
intelligence documents, it also reported that America conducted eavesdropping
operations on the German government from a listening post at its embassy beside
the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, one of more than 80 such centres worldwide.
