Our golden boy donny somehow hasn't been caught doing anything too dirty. He fucked a porn star but that's the worst they could find after investigating every single aspect of his life.

It's done during every presidency.
Their own intelligence services are aware of it often when it happens.
What doesn't usually happen is it being leaked to the public during a presidency.
You only linked to an article that talks about the leaks that revealed US surveillance on Merkel.
You have not established a connection (even intermediate steps) between the leaks during the Obama era and her about face.

I think it's more likely she's in the hands of another network. Could be Jewish, could be socialist. She sometimes does sudden about-faces that make no sense for a CDU politician, for example the decision to turn off all nuclear power plants after Fukushima. It made no sense, she pissed off people in ther own government (coalition with the FDP), as German nuclear power plants are some of the best in the world, unlike Fukushima, which was some of the worst trash (using its own power to pump cooling water upwards!). She lost tons of support in her own party and the FDP, getting praise basically only from the Greens (who were actually founded on the anti-nuclear power movement of the 70s). She sometimes does shit like that, so I don't think this has anything to do with the NSA.

She just did what the globalist banker council told her to do.
Merkel is a globalist puppet.

That's an interesting thought. No one has figured out why they deliberately decided to destroy the lives of their own people other than they had a case of megalomania.

I was wondering about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm5SYxRXHsI&t=944s
In this video it discusses Mama Merkel's change of heart.

Must have found out about her Schicklgruber - Hitler - Kasner heritage... Although honestly, I think she was always a globalist. Probably she was just a pragmatic politican at the start of her career, and worried about the public turning on her.
For those who don't know, the allegation is that she is Hitler's offspring. Hitler's sister was named Angela, and it is German naming custom to name a daughter after your siblings, AFAIK.

She was a member of the Communist party in her youth, is it really any surprise?
[–] TheSeer 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
She was a nudist too. Not sure what the whole nudist thing was about, probably just Marxist subversion.
And of course there is the 'snake dance' video of Merkel. Unconfirmed if it really was her, but uuh, yeah, don't say I didn't warn you.
[–] Schreiber ago
Yeah, except that there are a fuckton of Angelas in Germany.

Buahahaha spying and espionage is elligal in Germany. I about spit out my morning coffee. Good one. It’s always elligal throughout all of history when you get caught by the wrong team.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
I am sure Germany has nothing to do with that program or no access to it’s files. Probably how Germany figured out who was spying on them by reports in the 5 Eyes database. Too many people around the world have access to that data so it can be leaked to many governments, for the right price.
Signal intercepts are shared by Germany so I know they have access. This is one of the reasons Israel has soo much dirt on American politicians.

Her husband Joachim Sauer could have few things in his closet, he was also communist, from 1977 to 1991 he worked at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (East Germany).
