A week ago.....the Green Party here in Germany.....along with the Linke Party.....got all disturbed and upset over the latest in NSA revelations. It was a terrible and woeful thing that the NSA got 800,000 (still questionable on the numbers) names, emails and phone numbers related to the German military industry.
They spent several days last week.....chatting to the media and doing their best to make this into a major event.
So I sat and pondered last night, and there's this odd thing.
For the last five years, both the Green Party and Linke Party have been at the forefront of harming sales of the German military industry to just about any other country that you could name, and doing their best to limit even German Army purchases of German-manufactured military hardware. Every step along the way.....they hindered sales of German military hardware.
Now? They hint it's bad that the NSA was getting data on the German military companies? Something here doesn't make any sense.
But oddly, the brilliant German news media follows along with one script and rarely do they ever wake up and ask bold questions.
So, as much as they want to shine light onto the NSA and make this all a pretty negative deal.....maybe they ought to shine some light on themselves and ask who hindered the German military-hardware companies more?
