With the so-called “bank data deal” – I certainly hope that you people in Europe see that you simply are not free, so as long as your higher standards of data privacy don’t interfere with America’s “war on terror,” as well as its war on our human rights and civil liberties. As I’ve always said, and demonstrated here, there is no such thing as an equal partnership with America. America never enters into “partnerships” unless America is on top. Can’t you now see how much you Europeans are in chains to “transatlantic partnership?”.This giving in to American demands is a demonstration of American hegemony over Europe. You simply are not free to decide your data privacy law apart from America’s demands in your “partnership.” (and what kind of partnership is that?). America also demands that you continue your relationship with NATO despite the utter uselessness of NATO, how its expansion provokes Russia, and is used to tie down ESDP. At the same time – you are forced into stating that “NATO is Europe’s primer security organization.” America also demands that you send more Europeans to the Afghanistan meat grinder. American agents run wild on your streets and abduct people off of your streets for torture.As with this bank data nonsense, many European leaders are all too willing to comply. As with the Iraq War, European leaders are all too willing to trade European laws and conventions, human rights, people’s lives, their own national assets, as well as Europe’s interests and the rights of its citizens – to “please America.” Feeding the beast of American hegemony gets European leaders into trouble – and this feeding the beast needs to get them into sooooo much trouble that they think about it first and STOP doing it!Knowing America like I do, the real reason for the bank data is to profile Europeans. We can bet that the purpose is to “determine” who is “dangerous” by looking at how Europeans acquire their money and how they spend it. Did you spend some money on Arabic books and travel to the Middle East? Did you donate to a charity that perhaps gave a bowl of food to a child in Palestine whose father is with HAMAS? This is how “intelligence” is gathered against Americans to “determine” who is “dangerous” and then placed on watch lists. NO due process as required from a system of rule of law is involved, but only the thought in the head of a security agent.I hope that this is a case study into the how much you Europeans are simply not free from Washington. PLEASE GET IT - Europe is not free!Please also watch which MEPs support this bank data deal. It’s a safe bet that it will be British Conservatives, MEPs from Poland, the Czech Republic, along with most of US servantile East Europe – and many of the phony – baloney “Christian Democrats” of the EPP. They will be the usual sellout suspects Related video :

First, it should be made clear from Sarkozy’s visit yesterday that Europe still in psychological bondage to the United States. You first need to ask: Why is a European leader, Nicolas Sarkozy, appear to be more concerned for the US dollar, as if it should be more valuable than the euro?

I think that Sarkozy’s speech to the congress graphically demonstrates what I have been talking about in the psychological dependence that some European leaders have on Daddy Washington. If you want a federal and independent Europe, that crafts its own common foreign and security policy – you need to concerned about leaders like Sarkozy, that want to continue the submissive and subservient policies toward the US. There is no better of a demonstration of what I have been saying about European psychological bondage to America that Sarkozy’s speech to the Congress yesterday.

Once the psychological chains are removed, Europe can have its rightful place, sometimes to rival American policy, on the international stage. Europe and European foreign and security policy, especially, should be created, implemented and for the benefit of Europeans. European common foreign and security policy should be for Europeans and European nations, not the benefit of the United States and American interests. Europe should be by and for Europeans!
