‘Snowden testimony would be a disaster’
Deutsche Welle ^ | 11/02/2013 | Gero Schließ

Posted on 11/02/2013 10:38:58 PM PDT by Olog-hai

“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. …

We are patriots! Spying is goo for the country. Obama is bad. Therefore, Snowden is on Obama’s payroll. Signed - Joe Palooka.

You make a fundamental mistake.

We all spy with our eye, we all discriminate everything

This is not inherently evil.

What is at play here is Obama is setting us all up to not be able to discriminate.

He would blind us all and burn out our eyes with a magnifying glass.

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

It was brought out that the U.S. has been spying on Merkel since 2002. That's not going to reflect well on Bush either, and beg the question why should the Germans trust us regardless of who is in the White House?

Funny how they are blaming Obama’s being caught on George W Bush.

Funny how the NSA is getting all this heat while Obama knows nothing.

Funny how Obama gloats over using Seal Team Six and the Joe Biden rats them out and they all get killed

Obama knows nothin hardly ever.

The claim is from a German source - Der Speigel - and not from the U.S. MSM.

Looks like we didn't trust them. Why should they trust us?

I have no doubt that Bush was watching Germany.
The point is that it diverts from Obamas culpability.

This NSA matter disturbs me.
Snowden disturbs me because everyone wants to make him a hero and Obama knows nothing.
Snowden is no hero.

Why did this guy bolt from a great job in Hawaii and a pole dancer hot chick to save the world?

This has Obamas fingerprints all over it

It is a flim flam game

He is purposely sowing distrust to harm the watchers and dismantle the tools of honest men

That is just My humble opinion.

Nothing sticks to this guy

I never heard of the “Brother” but after watching a few of those YouTubes (then hurling up my lunch) and doing a internet search it turned up that he’s a complete anti-Semitic (evidently a self-loathing Jew), anti-Israel (and everything is the fault of the Joooose after all) and a far fringe conspiracy theory wacka doodle, so wacky that he thinks Alex Jones isn’t wacky enough. Being anti-Semitic (and from what I understand also “pro-white power”), even so, the folks at Stormfront and Total Fascism don’t want anything to do with him.
