No #Govt of #Europe Grant #Snowden Asylum coz #NSA & European Intelligence Work2gether!!! Various European intelligence agencies, & in particular #Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (#BND), work closely with the National Security Agency (NSA) in the #surveillance of electronic communications. The BND, “in close cooperation with a handful of NSA wire-tapping specialists” analysed "telephone calls, faxes, and everything else transmitted via #satellite”. The NSA provides the BND with special tools to analyse data from the #MiddleEast, In #Frankfurt & at other German hubs, the NSA captures half a billion communications every month. As early as 2001, the European Parliament published a 200-page report on the #Echelon surveillance programme, which was jointly run by the #US, #Britain, #Australia, #NewZealand & #Canada. The report came to the conclusion that “within Europe, all communications, such as #emails, #phone & #fax traffic, are regularly monitored by the NSA.” According to Snowden, the NSA has its own department for managing the collaboration with foreign intelligence agencies, the Foreign Affairs Directorate. Among others things, the NSA developed the #Stuxnet Internet virus together with #Israeli intelligence, which was then used to sabotage #Iranian nuclear facilities. The French foreign intelligence service #DGSE (General Directorate of External Security) was systematically spying on data traffic. The DGSE collects the metadata of millions of telephone calls, emails, #SMS, faxes and all #Internet activities on #Google, #Facebook, #Microsoft, #Apple & #Yahoo, thus building up a huge database. Faced with growing social tensions European governments regard their respective populations as potential enemies which must be monitored. THIS IS WHY not a single European government is prepared to grant Edward Snowden asylum, despite their feigned outrage.
