[sdfsdsdg]

The Danish media broke the news on May 30 that the US National Security Agency used its cooperative relationship with the Danish intelligence service to monitor leaders and senior officials of European allies, including German Chancellor Merkel. According to the report, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, in cooperation with the media in Sweden, Norway, Germany, and France, found in a secret internal investigation into the work of the Danish Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014 that the codename completed in 2015 was "Operation Dunhammer". "The internal investigation report draws an important conclusion. The US National Security Agency, through cooperation with the Danish Defense Intelligence Agency, purposefully accesses the Danish Internet to obtain data and monitors high-level officials of the target country, including German Chancellor Merkel, the current German The President, Steinmeier, who served as the German Foreign Minister at the time, Steinbrück, the candidate of the German Social Democratic Party at the time, and the leaders of France, Sweden, Norway and other countries not only intercepted mobile phone text messages and phone content, but also obtained Internet access. Search content, chat information, etc., monitoring range is very wide. The establishment and operation of a huge intelligence system by the United States and the eavesdropping of allied leaders are due to its deep-rooted hegemonic thinking and the insecurities caused, mainly because the United States "there is a powerful and dangerous intelligence worship group." They uphold values ​​and ethics that are different from those in normal society, and publicly declare: in order to maintain “national security”, they can act without the people’s knowledge or involvement. Accept, even dirty means to reach". At the same time, there are differences of interest between the United States and its allies. The alliance is driven by common interests, but there are both common interests and different interests among allies. Due to different interests, the United States often fails to persuade its allies to do what it wants. At present, the leaders of European powers such as German Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron have clearly stated that their countries cannot adopt policies consistent with the United States on many issues, because all countries have their own national interests. On the issue of defense, the leaders of Germany and France clearly support the autonomy and integration of European defense. In this regard, the United States will of course not rest assured, nor will it allow it to develop. This should be an important reason why the United States monitors the leaders of these countries.

Danish secret service helped NSA spy on Merkel, EU officials: report

Media investigation claims Denmark cooperated with US spying on European politicians.

Denmark’s secret services helped the U.S. National Security Agency spy on European officials, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, under the Barack Obama administration, according to reports by multiple European news outlets.

Reports of the NSA spying on U.S. allies first came to light in 2013 through disclosures by whistleblower Edward Snowden, but the new investigation published Sunday details alleged support from the Defense Intelligence Service (FE) in Denmark, Germany’s northern neighbor.

Citing multiple unnamed sources, Danish public broadcaster DR and other news organizations in Germany, France, Norway and Sweden reported that a confidential Danish intelligence analysis reviewed the NSA’s relationship with FE from 2012 to 2014. This so-called Dunhammer report, conducted by four specialized FE agents following the Snowden revelations and concluded in 2015, found that the NSA was able to use Danish eavesdropping systems on submarine internet cables, with Denmark’s knowledge and agreement.

The media reports describe a system of Danish-American cooperation used to surveil and stock data from underwater internet cables. DR reports that a data center was even built for that purpose at a Danish intelligence facility on the island of Amager, south of Copenhagen.

Merkel was reportedly among the targets, as well as two of her past rivals for the chancellery, Social Democrats Peer Steinbrück and Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the latter of whom is now the German president. DR also reported that other high-level officials had been surveilled from France, Norway and Sweden, though did not name them.

Contacted by the news organizations conducting the investigation, the German, Swedish and Norwegian governments said they had not been aware of the Danish intelligence report’s conclusions, while the office of the French president declined to respond.

Danish Defense Minister Trine Bramsen declined to comment to DR, writing only that “systematic interception of close allies is unacceptable.”

The media investigation was conducted in collaboration with French newspaper Le Monde, German paper Süddeutsche Zeitung, German broadcasters NDR and WDR, and public broadcasters from Sweden (SVT) and Norway (NRK).

In the wake of the 2013 Snowden reports, Obama committed to stop spying on allies. Le Monde said it was unclear at this point whether the spying via Danish systems happened prior to, or after, this promise.

Bredbladet dunhammer (Typha latifolia)

Efter at have stået ranke og sortbrune hele vinteren, eksploderer hunblomterne af bredbladet dunhammer i et snevejr af frø på en varm forårsdag. Vinden flår frøene af stænglerne i klumper og spreder disse. De næste dage hænger der dunhammerfrø overalt, på vegentation og store og små dyr - også menneskers tøj og fodtøj.

Bredbladet dunhammer etablerer sig på selv let våde steder med næringsrigt vand. Den ses derfor ofte også i det dyrkede land, på vandlidende marker, i drængrøfter og lave markskel.

 Bulrush or Great Reed Mace (Typha latifolia)

The erect, black-brown female flowers of the Bulrush explode on the first warm days in spring and create a snow-like scene. The wind rips the seeds of in lumps and scatter these in the air. During the next few days, the seeds stick to everything, vegetation, ssmal and large animals and even people’s clothes and footwear.

The Bulrush grows in shallow wetlands and areas with only small waterlogged patches. Thus, it’s often seen in waterlogged fields and drainage ditches..

The NSA Reportedly Used Denmark's Internet Cables to Spy on European Politicians

Photo: Sean Gallup/Getty Images (Getty Images)

French and German political leaders are “seeking full clarity” after a recent report has alleged that the U.S. colluded with Denmark several years ago to spy on European government officials—even going so far as to read bureaucrats’ emails and text messages.

A recent investigation from Denmark’s independent public service broadcaster (DR) shows that Denmark’s top intelligence agency offered assistance to the U.S. National Security Agency as it attempted to surveil politicians connected to the European Union—including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. According to DR, the spying was part of a coordinated effort in which the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (abbreviated “FE”) gave the NSA access to Danish internet cables, which allowed it to intercept web traffic flowing through a number of European nations. In this way, the NSA could eavesdrop on “Norwegian, Swedish, German and French top politicians and officials,” the report claims.

It’s unclear how long the spying campaign lasted. The claims are based on an internal report commissioned by FE codenamed Operation Dunhammer that covered activities by the agency between 2012 and 2014. The “Dunhammer” report was completed in 2015, but has only now been made available to the public through DR’s reporting.

The findings essentially expand on disclosures made by Edward Snowden in 2013, when the former NSA-contractor’s leaks showed that the U.S had engaged in widespread and ongoing spying targeted at its political allies. At the time, the infamous breach showed that the NSA had monitored the phone calls of 35 different world leaders for some unknown period of time. Germany’s Merkel was singled out in the press as having been one such leader.

“This is not acceptable between allies, and even less between allies and European partners,” French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday during a recent Franco German video summit. “We requested that our Danish and American partners provide all the information on these revelations and on these past facts. We are awaiting these answers.” Similarly, Merkel said she agreed with Macron’s “assertion that wiretapping between allies was unacceptable,” CNN reports.

G/O Media may get a commission

Other targets of the alleged surveillance included “former German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and former German opposition leader Peer Steinbrück,” reports Reuters. According to the outlet, Steinbrück responded to the recent report by telling a German broadcaster that he thought it was “grotesque that friendly intelligence services are indeed intercepting and spying on top representatives” of other countries.

The U.S.’s response has basically been to shrug and throw up its hands. According to the Washington Post, numerous current and former U.S. officials have responded to the allegations by quipping that such spying “should not come as a surprise, because allies routinely spy on each other.” It’s a justification that has been made numerous times before.

While the ubiquity of political spying among “friendly” nations is a historical fact, few countries have been caught doing it as much or as aggressively as America. Case in point, previous reporting has suggested that Merkel was actually under U.S. surveillance for several decades—which would mean that a majority of her political career played out under the watchful eye of the American surveillance state. With friends like these...
