[You may have to translate from the original German to read this report.]
Even Germany recognizes that what "our" government is doing violates the spirit of the US Constitution and the will of We The People.
The bottom line here is that "our" government no longer represents us (if it ever did), and we apparently have no tools with which to change the situation.
