Germany: The cant of anti-American rant

Green Party member Antje Vollmer is vice-president of the Bundestag, Germany's parliament, and she has the inside scoop on a conspiracy involving clandestine efforts by the US to undermine the Pope in his last years.

...

What Ms Vollmer said, in essence, was that the US had been so upset with the Pope's opposition to its Iraq war that it had engaged in a number of dirty tricks to undermine his authority.

Among those, she said, were forcing Poland -- the Pope's homeland -- to contribute troops to the Coalition and ratcheting up public attention to the Catholic pedophilia scandal.

...

"First, in Sept. 2002, then-Justice Minister Herta Däubler-Gmelin compared George W Bush to Adolf Hitler. Then came Andreas von Buelow, the former federal education and research minister whose 2003 conspiracy theory alleging the CIA and Israeli intelligence were responsible for the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington made for a best-selling book," Spiegel wrote in its English-language Daily Take column.

...

He pointed out that, Spiegel said, in truth, the Poles didn't need to be forced to send troops to Iraq, because they trust Washington more than Brussels, Paris or Berlin. The Catholic Church has a recurring history of pedophile scandals in the US as in Europe -- even before the Iraq war. "But all this is meaningless compared to the rage of a Green politician trying to impose her conspiratorial views on a complex reality until everything fits together seamlessly. Whatever the deceased pope had longed for and meant: He does not deserve Antje Vollmer as the executor of his will."

1. Our media would drive her nuts.

Hardly a single thought that the pope did not support the Iraq war from our media.
