EU Commissioner: USA espionage is for economic advantage, not terrorism

Many in Europe are upset by USA espionage. Notice the following:

October 30, 2013

European Union Commissioner for Justice Viviane Reding told CBS News that any surveillance without court approval would be criminal…European lawmakers are also accusing the U.S. of probing financial transactions and Reding questioned whether the U.S. used security as an excuse to gain an economic upper-hand.

“Why are you sucking up information and why are you listening to the phone of a head of state, head of government?” she asked. “Why you listen to the phone of millions of innocent Europeans? This has nothing to do with fighting terrorism. Maybe it has to do with getting commercial secrets to be sucked out.” http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57609911/eu-official-alleges-nsa-sought-economic-edge-for-u.s/

Trade wars and other economic disagreements will be part of how European leaders will persuade many Europeans that the USA is not a friend, but an enemy. This is consistent with what I have been warning for years. This espionage scandal the USA is hurting the USA now and will hurt it more in the future.

Notice that the European Union Commissioner for Justice stated that the USA espionage has “nothing to do with fighting terrorism.” Much of the information gathering that the USA’s NSA has been involved in is for economic and political control. And that includes not only the spying, but also the forced financial disclosures that it makes its own residents do.

The government of the USA has increasingly been able to get away with this against its residents and citizens. Residents basically have to put up with it as the government is large and has little interest in the protections that citizens were supposed to have under the Constitution of the USA. But while USA residents have relatively little they can really do about this, the Europeans are in a different situation.

The European Union is larger than the USA, generally has a total economic output greater than that of the USA, is (in some areas) becoming more technologically advanced than the USA, and can exert unique pressures on the USA.

Because of this, combined with USA embarrassment for getting caught, the USA will basically turn over too much information to the Europeans, as well as make a variety of promises (some of which it will likely not keep) about placing limits on its European surveillance.

This will give the Europeans a major MILITARY advantage when the rising European Beast power decides that it must rid the world of the excesses of the USA. And while currently, the Europeans do not yet have the military ability to beat the USA, the time is coming when the strongest military power (the USA) will be taken over by a European military power (Daniel 11:39). This will stun the world (Revelation 13:4).

Hopefully, it will not surprise you.

World events continue to align with the fulfillment of biblical prophecies.

Will USA Spying Help the Beast Power? Various allegations have surfaced about the United States government spying on its own citizens as well as its supposed allies in the European Union. Whether or not all the espionage allegations are true, and the main ones have not been publicly denied by the government of the USA, the reality is that this does have prophetic ramifications and will help the Beast of Revelation. This video provides quotes from the Bible showing how this is so. The USA is placing itself in a position to be taken over and its response to the allegations will make it easier for the Europeans to do so.
