U.S. Spy Scandal in Germany Is MUSIC to Putin’s Ears

Last edited Mon Nov 10, 2014, 09:40 PM - Edit history (7)

The American habit of spying on its European allies turned out to be one of the more memorable topics to come up in April[4/14/54] when Vladimir Putin held his annual call-in show on Russian television. Toward the end of the four-hour marathon of questions for the Russian President, Putin was asked about the tone of his conversations with European leaders. He gave a wry response. “It’s hard to talk to people who speak in whispers to each other even when they’re at home, because they’re scared the Americans are eavesdropping,” Putin said, causing a [micro]wave of laughter spread across the studio audience. “Listen, I’m being serious,” he deadpanned. “I’m not kid[d kraddick]ding.”

After checking out the news articles and learning names of agencies other than the NSA, check out a few of my previous posts for terms like (WHISPEERS) and "online radio station" aka music.

The USSR and Russia has a rich tradition of spy scandals in the new:

It is not just the USA and Russia being condemned for spying on their own citizens and allies in online news articles:

What is more difficult to find is online articles about Chinese spying on and manipulating US and UK citizens, however, I can find several online articles about Chinese satellite launches. Here are several launches China openly boasts about online. What kind of satellites does China launch covertly? Do they orbit over the USA, UK, France, Germany, Israel and Russia? Where are the online news articles about Chinese spying? Chinese satellite teams will continue to use Microburst technology to cause conflict between previously named allied nations and intelligence agencies, while attempting to align them against Russia by manipulating news-people and altering online news articles. Perhaps President Xi Jinping is "naive" about the ways satellite teams of supposedly adversarial nations will align to destroy his plans of total news-media, internet and world domination. His plans obviously include total worldwide economic collapse.

Like idiots, important people in Chinese intelligence have ordered military leaders to use missiles to shoot down satellites of other nations, causing their rapidly exploding fragments to destroy advanced Chinese communications satellites; although the online propaganda tells a different story:
