“Europe headlines are that ‘NSA surveillance threatens the EU free trade deal’ and ‘Merkel demands explanations.’ The protests are the necessary public posturing of puppets and will be regarded as such by Washington. The French government says the trade talks should be temporarily suspended ‘for a couple of weeks to avoid any controversy.’ However, the German government says, ‘We want this free trade agreement and we want to start the talks now.’ In other words, what Merkel describes as ‘unacceptable Cold War-style behavior’ is acceptable as long as Germany gets the free trade agreement.”
