"Meanwhile, it has emerged that at least six European member states have shared personal communications data with the NSA, according to declassified US intelligence reports and EU parliamentary documents.

The documents, seen by the Observer, show that – in addition to the UK – Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy have all had formal agreements to provide communications data to the US. They state that the EU countries have had "second and third party status" under decades-old signal intelligence (Sigint) agreements that compel them to hand over data which, in later years, experts believe, has come to include mobile phone and internet data.

Under the international intelligence agreements, nations are categorised by the US according to their trust level. The US is defined as 'first party' while the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand enjoy 'second party' trusted relationships. Countries such as Germany and France have 'third party', or less trusted, relationships."

None of the campaign at character assassination comes as a surprise. Ever since Snowden's revelations to Greenwald, both have come under incessant attack from the "sock puppet" army crafted by President Obama's former "information policy czar" cass Sunstein, whose wife, Samantha Power, is due to replace Susan Rice as UN ambassador.

Sunstein's machinations are nothing new. They merely build upon the methods of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels to adapt to new media technology.

One thing that is certain after four and a half years of the Obama administration. The president's team of propagandists, is, indeed, the gang that can't shoot straight.

The pressure exerted on The Observer and The Guardian to pull its stories quoting me backfired badly. The Observer's first print edition hit the news stands and for some, it became an instant collector's item.








Before and after (The Observer before spiking and after)

But lo and behold, there is yet a third edition of The Observer, with Mick Jagger and the NSA spying story both on the front page!



Die Welt of Germany also took down their own story but after a few days restored it in its original:

The .pdf of the story in Die Welt.

Snide articles by columnists in Forbes and The Daily Telegraph only brought unwanted attention to WMR's past stories, including Obama and his Chicago bath house forays (during a time after Obama lectured anti-gay African leaders on gay rights), the Tsarnaev family having CIA links, and Obama's history with the CIA (There's an old saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity, just publicity -- so I even have to thank the "Daily Torygraph" for helping to increase sales of The Manufacturing of a President; I owe you a pint on Fleet Street chaps). By the way, some of the comments below The Telegraph story are interesting to say the least, for example:

From outofEUnow:

From Tom_mcewen:

I am interested in the word ''Fruitloop''. As far as I know every person who ever changed the world can claim the title ''Fruitloop'' from someone. Some won, and some were pulled to pieces by the mob.

"Fruitloop'' comes in two favors as I see it, one is a ''Politically Correct Fruitloop and an Unpolitically Correct Fruitloop.

This guy is part of the branch called Unpolitically Correct. Is he right? Who will ever know, he is damned automatically.

And as can be seen above, the legitimate media outlets, not obscure blogs funded by Soros and the neocons, outnumbered those that believed the NSA story was more important than attacking Wayne Madsen. In two words, the neocon attack machine's results: EPIC FAIL.
