Deutsche Welle ^ | 11/02/2013 | Gero Schließ

“It would be a disaster for American-German relations if Snowden came to Germany and publicly testified before the Bundestag.” What Green MP Christian Ströbele ultimately is hoping for after his surprise visit with Edward Snowden in Moscow would be a nightmare for Stephen Szabo of the German Marshall Fund, as well for the Obama administration.

The relationship between the two countries is headed towards “a deep, downward spiral,” says Szabo. This must be stopped. If Snowden were to come to Germany with official blessing, the situation would escalate further, warns the long-time Germany expert and vice-president of the German Marshall Fund in Washington. …

Meaning, it would be a great disaster for the Lightbringer.

Why do Democrats constantly lie?

Let the chips fall where they may. I hope Snowden testifies. NSA mass data collection on Americans is beyond the pale.

Snowden should establish a VLOG , a video blog, and just go on camera ,with whatever he has got , and let um have it .
Let the Bundes dudes come to him , put it out there for the world to hear . I cannot believe that more whistle blowers do not VLOG the heck out of whatever they have to say . Don’t they know?

He’ll say that US intelligence was skimming vast amounts of private data, and everyone will stand around shocked, SHOCKED, that gambling was going on.

Must be because they are of their father, and their father’s lusts they do; they don’t want to abide in the truth.

“the Lightbringer”

Lol. The one thing I’ll ever give Obamafruit any credit for is that he’s been endlessly fun to nickname.

Snowden is an Obama tool.

When they get done with the military, the CIA, the NSA, religion, education, science, government... there won' be anything left to believe in.

The they can build their Utopia.

BINGO! He is an agent on behalf of the other agent. He baited Americans with cries of 'domestic spying' then dropped the hammer on our activities abroad to undermine ALL of our allied relationships.

In order to understand the Germans you must understand what the STASI did to the people of East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. “The Lives of Others” is a must see film. Spying is always all about politics, no matter what anyone says.

He works for somebody and I’m not certain who. What is happening is beyond conscience and whistle blower.

That isn’t how it works. Societies like that cannot survive, especially if they provoke God.

This is my suspicion.

All this is much to public to take seriously.

I had to give Putin a hat tip the other week.

He used old KGB tactics to bug the G20.

He gave them the old trojan horse

Hint: the lightbringer is named Barack Hussein Obama!

Snowden undermines the lightbringer. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Last November, the sheeple screwed up big time. We now have three years to rub their noses in it! That's where Snowden comes in ...
