(np) Merkel Must End Devil's Pact with America

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

> Quatch

Sorry, dude, it's "Quatsch" (not 'Quatch') and it's your Quatsch, not 
mine or Feldenkirchen's.

This has nothing to do with the feelings between the citizens of the two 
countries. But by now it is open for everybody to see that the NSA is 
primarily a tool for economic espionage. And it all goes back to the 
time before '9/11', so it's not about terrorism at all. As Feldenkirchen 
has it: "It is questionable that the German Agricultural Ministry's 
fisheries department, which the NSA also spied on, had anything to do 
with Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida." Sure, during the Cold War West 
Germany was nothing but a US colony. Every larger post office had a room 
where agents were controlling all the letters, no phone call remained 
unnoticed. The first two chancellors of the Federal Republic of Germany, 
Adenauer and Erhard, were chosen by the US before they were elected by 
the Bundestag, and West Germany's cultural life -  take for example the 
Literarische Colloquium Berlin (LCB) - was to a good deal organized and 
even financed (Ford Foundation!) via the CIA. A fucking banana republic 
we were. And in many regards we still are. That's the thing which has to 
end, but Angela Merkel is certainly not the person to do this. So it 
will take some time, but this surely will come. Yankee, go home! We 
don't want your ugly surveillance equipment here on our territory. Peace 
to the American people!

One more thing: No matter with what currency I'm going to pay in the 
future, my life will have been a good one anyway. I just worry about my 
kids.
