Obama May Or May Not Have Tapped Angela Merkel's Cell Phone

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a stunning claim, Germany's Der Speigel reports that the US targeted Angela Merkel's private mobile phone for years...

  • *MERKEL TOLD OBAMA TAPPING WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE, SEIBERT SAYS
  • *MERKEL COMPLAINED TO OBAMA ABOUT PHONE SURVEILLANCE: SPIEGEL
  • *MERKEL DEMANDS FULL EXPLANATION FROM OBAMA, SPIEGEL SAYS

So Obama promptly complied:

  • *OBAMA TOLD MERKEL U.S. NOT TAPPING HER PHONE, SPIEGEL SAYS

We await Snowden and Greenwald's clarification...

 

Carney is now denying it all in the WH press conference:

  • *CARNEY SAYS OBAMA, MERKEL SPOKE ABOUT NSA ALLEGATIONS TODAY
  • *CARNEY SAYS OBAMA ASSURED MERKEL HER PHONE NOT MONITORED
  • *CARNEY SAYS MERKEL, OBAMA AGREED TO INTENSIFY COOPERATION
  • *CARNEY: NOT MONITORING, WILL NOT MONITOR MERKEL COMMUNICATIONS

What would be the icing on the cake is if Snowden provides concrete proof along with an actual tape recorded conversation.

Obuttfuck's response, "these are not the droids you're looking for."

In clarifying the extent, well, Ms. Merkel that too is a secret.

NSA has left American foreign trust in tatters, this is simply a shot across the bow.

Has Kangaroo Kongress Inkorporated revoked or even scaled back NSA funding??  FUCK NO!

Merkel should demand the complete, unabridged audio recordings and transcripts of Obama's calls covering the same period of time.

Obama also said that using the ACA web site would be as easy as buying a plane ticket on Expedia -

Now Sebelius claims Obama Did Not Know About Obamacare Website Glitches.

I will not be surprised if in a few weeks the head of the NSA is out telling everyone that Obama didn't know that the NSA was tapping Merkel's phone.

The president's press agent today stated the president was not aware of anything, and had not been aware of anything since 2009.

"I doubt he's even seen a paper or the TV news since around 2005," said the spokesman.

All for show, since Germany is not an independent country. (Hint: which country has occupying forces in Germany?)

I did not have a monitoring relationship with that woman (I just collect, collate, assess, parse, spin, share with business partners, spooge upon and generally do everything else with all her communications I or my designee may desire.  After all, she, or anyone else may become a terrorist threat or destabilizing influence in the future.  It is essential to have as complete a digital fingerprint as possible of everyone as this will save lives) - Barack Obama

You'd think that for somebody who grew up in the DDR, she would know better.

No kidding. This isn't the first time Der Speigel broke a story concerning The Lives of Others.

Obama is not tapping her phone.  But Israel is using the NSA intercepts and giving the USA summaries of her calls.

This are my thoughts too. But it might be also the Brits instead of Israel.

Merkel is slowly but brilliantly getting ridd of Germanys Big Brothers (UK and USA). Hollande is a CIA man for him it doesnt matter, but the Poles just like the Germans and the Italians (including Vatican) do hate Stasi/KGB/CIA/NSA spying and blackmailing style. To loose the superior knowledge/info the US was able to gather after WWII is an enormous loss. Political and economical the US power is hardest hit when the spying and blackmailing stops in Europe.

Man, if somebody whacks Bath House, there will be millions of suspects!

"President Bath House is near death today, taken sick shortly after dinner with the German Chancellor. His luck has not been good of late. Last week, he was almost killed during a hunting trip with the Mexican President when a rifle discharged somehow. Last month, he narrowly escaped death on a visit to France, when a gas main blew up at his hotel."

Assured = boldly presumptuous = certain and secure = NSA = confident = it happened.

this article is nonsense. I know for a fact that Merkel has not been tapped since 1987

someone said that its Obummers time to step down... I think NSA knows 101 reasons for Merkel to step down... so its like in cold war, balance of fear.. so Angela will keep her vagina shut and won't tell that it was Apples fault and obummer will not upload the info in his laptop and move quickly to russia airport..

If the Krauts can't come up with a secure cell phone for their fearless leader then she ought not to be using it to discuss any official business. No wonder cell phone factories are closing in Germany.

Let me guess...

Herr Clapper said (under oath): "We never tap a German Prime Minister's phone."

Once you've admitted to lying before Congress, who's gonna believe anything you have to say about anything else?

If you are in the spy biz anywhere, and find that you have the ability to monitor the phone calls of a major head of state....   Oh well, just forget it, right?
