News Review

Yesterday, when I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine by using my mobile telephone, I, ironically, mentioned not to say something radical and politically critical. My friend answered with a friendly laughter to that statement. But, now seriously: Every person on the planet should be aware of being tapped when they use free electronic comunication such as mobile telephones or internet platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc. Despite the fact that this absolutely unexpected revelation leaves us an imagination of the state as the Soviet Union, the GDR or Oceania from George Orwell's masterpiece “1984“, if you are not planning a massacre on a marathon or an assassination on the president, you should not be aware of being arrested for the ideas you express on the phone or post on the net as a normal person. The current German Chancellor Angela Merkel, is not a normal person. In spite of that, I can suspect that Mrs Merkel is not planning one of the things mentioned above. So what is the reason for Mr Obama to read the text messages and listen to the phone calls of the German Chancellor. Especially, if he calls Mrs Merkel a good friend. In my opinion, the public should not react as shocked as it does. Maybe Barack Obama is not spying on our Chancellor for political or economical reasons, like the current German relationship to other countries like Russia or China. Maybe Mr Obama has a very strong interest in finding out the recipe for the tasty potato cream soup Mrs Merkel is cooking? Or maybe he is listening to Merkel's dirty messages to her husband and tries to get some new inspiration for his own bedroom. Incidentally, both protagonists have other troubles to deal with which are not less important for the world as this espionage affair. Mr Obama, for example, is not only an amature spy, he also is the president of the self-proclaimed country for bringing democracy to everyone who has become rid of their dictators. What succesfully succeeded in Yugoslavia, South Korea or Western Germany, now is stuck in the Middle East. However, some days ago, the Archangel himself, John Kerry, presented the Divine Light Mission of making a conclusion that Assad will give away his whole arsenal of chemical weapons. Then again, the USA will be incapable of doing anything if Assad - an absolutely unrealistic thought - changes his mind and does not reduce the number of his chemical weapons. On top of all, due to Obama's unclear statements about bombing the hell out of Assad in case he uses C-Weapons and his lack of action allow his "friends" Israel and Saudi Arabia to ignore resolutions from the White House as well. It seems that the whole world is being king all over the Keeper of Democracy. Hard times are on the way for the President in his second and last period in office. Definetely, he has not expected that this job will be so difficult when he announced his candidature in 2008. With wars, healthcare, espionage, he expected it only happens in Hollywood movies. Now he has to be like a hero in these movies. And the solution will sound louder than the trumpets which brought the Walls of Jericho to fall. Amen.
